*Disclaimer*

If you are under 18 or not of legal age in your country, please do not read
on. If you couldn't accept themes of homosexuality and the like, please
don't read on. This is a story concerning gay males having intimate
relationships and is considered FOR ADULTS ONLY due to its sexual theme and
contents. BUT if you really like this stuff, please don't tell others.

Everything in this story is purely FICTIONAL. Or in simpler terms, it's not
true!!! Even if this story involves the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and other
famous celebrities all that happens in here is fictional... again, it's not
true. If there are instances that it is similar to what happened in the
real world, it doesn't mean that it's really true. I don't know anything
about their sexuality, as far as the I and the world know, they're straight
as an arrow so I dunno if they're gay (but I do have my speculations) or
not but I wrote this out of freedom of speech and my love for these guys
and slash fiction. I don't own or know the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC or other
cited celebrity in the story personally. AGAIN, it's NOT TRUE!!! but don't
we all hope that it's true... hehehehe...

*First Words*

Hi guys. Finally, I have decided to scrap off the HTML components of my
stories. So, Reformation would be seen in the simple text format. I got a
lil tired of putting it in HTML format but surely I'll miss doing it! My
other stories are still there in the archives. What I See (JC story) and
Crossed Paths(Brian/Justin). I know I'm trying to manage 3 stories but I'll
really try my best to update all my stories. And remember, I love
feedbacks.

The Reformation 27

Lunch was just dominated by Rich. It was like his mouth wasn't gonna stop
talking about what happened for the past weeks that I wasn't here. He told
us of what happened with our neighbors, who I don't even know. He told us
the latest gossips in town, which I really don't care about. And, all the
things that he has done which only comprised of working in a cafe as a
waiter, dating, eating and sleeping, in that order.

Alex and I just looked at each other as Rich animatedly talk about how he
waited for an actor who I even don't know. Alex just rolled his eyes after
he subtly looked at Rich. But being the good friend, I just let Rich talk
and talk and talk. Eventually, he'll get tired... hopefully.

The three of us have already finished our lunch but Rich was still
talking. I guess he's not gonna get tired. "Rich, I need to call
someone. I'll be back in a minute." I told Rich who just nodded at me and
then continued yakking about something. I got lost when he talked about the
time he forgot to close the cafe. I stood up from my seat and walked out of
the kitchen leaving Rich and Alex.

I picked up the phone to book a flight to Florida. "Hello, good
afternoon. How can I help you?" A cheery lady answered.

"I would like to book the earliest flight to Orlando please." I answered
politely.

"For a moment." She said and I could hear the sound of fingers pressing on
the keyboards of a computer. "There's one that is going to leave later at
5pm. Do you want this flight, sir?" She asked.

"That would be wonderful." I replied.

"What class would it be, sir?" She inquired.

Hmm... what class? "First." I answered confidently. I haven't ridden a
first class ride by myself. I think I need to indulge sometimes. She
answered me about how wonderful I am to take their plane and after giving
her my details, we finally ended the call. She's too happy.

I spun around and saw Alex walking close to me. "Call JC now. I want it
now. I want someone other than Rich, please." Alex pleaded. I dunno what
excuse he used to escape Rich. I nodded and dialed JC's cell phone.

It rang a few times, and then someone answered. "JC's phone!" I think it's
JC.

"Hey Jayce." I answered. "I'll cut this short. I'll be leaving for Florida
later at 3 so just ask my brother what this is all about." I told JC and
handed it to Alex. "I'll be packing a few. I'll be back maybe tomorrow, or
the next." I said to Alex as I left him to talk to Josh. I left Alex in the
den and walked to my room to pick up some clothes that I would need in the
trip.

I think I can manage to live in one bag for this trip. It's not like I'm
gonna be spending a hefty amount of time there. The main goal of this trip
is to talk to Brian and get back with him, then go back home to prepare for
the NSYNC tour. And I need lots of preparations, I have to know their
songs!

"You done?" Alex chimed from the door. I picked up the small backpack and
nodded at him.

"Do you want me to drive you to the airport?" Rich offered.

"Thank you but no." I declined. "Traffic is hell and I don't wanna burden
you in going back here with that tight jam. I'll just ride a cab." I told
Rich who nodded at me. "Alex, be good okay?" I reminded Alex who just
rolled his eyes.

"Mart, I'm 18 years old for God's sake." Alex answered.

"That's what I'm afraid of, especially that I'm leaving you with Rich." I
said with a grin and walked out of the house. I immediately got a cab and
instructed the driver to bring me to the airport. I looked at my watch and
it read 3:30pm. I think I'll make it to the airport even with the traffic
that we were experiencing.

I sat there quiet contemplating in how I'll talk with Brian. I can't just
blurt out that I said 'no' because I want to cause him pain in what he did
to me. That would be too harsh. I want to be with him once more and that's
what I'm sure of. I love him. I really do.

We reached the airport and I paid the driver the fare and tip. I walked to
the counter there and talked with a lady with the familiar voice. "I'm
Martin Johnson." I said to the woman.

"Martin Johnson?" She asked with a smile as she typed in the computer. "Can
I please see some ID, sir?" She asked politely. I handed her my driver's
license and she looked back at me. "Mr. Johnson, here's your ticket and
have a wonderful trip. Good day." She said too cheerfully.

"Thank you." I said and hurriedly got away from the counter. She's just too
damn happy!

I sat on what of the chairs there and waited for my flight to be
called. That left me with more time to think on what I'll do once I see
Brian. Of course, I'll apologize first. I think that's the most important
thing. Then, I'll explain to him why I did it. But how on earth will I tell
someone I love that I did something just to hurt him intentionally? That
would be tough.

The semi-computerized voice from the PA disrupted my train of thought as it
called my flight to Florida. I am on my way to meet Brian. The trip was a
comfortable one. Maybe because I am in first class and have all the perks
and privileges that the airlines could offer. Now, to do some more
thinking.

What if I just leave out the fact that I did it to hurt him? I think that
would save both of us some pain. But the only set back would is that I'm
not completely honest with Brian and I don't want a relationship without
complete honesty. This isn't Survivor but a real relationship. I guess I'll
just have to wait if he's gonna still accept me after he hears what I would
tell him. I hope he wouldn't reject me.

Now to other worries, NSYNC. Will the others approve of this? I mean, I
work for the Backstreet Boys. Even if they are friends, they are still
competition. Is it ethical that I work for the two? But I won't be doing
anything so technically, I am jobless. My contract didn't stipulate any
thing about not working with other acts so I guess I can do this. And
another perk is that I'm gonna see Justin and the others... and prolly Nick
too.

Then Alex. I really don't know what I'll do with Alex. I can't just bring
him everywhere I go. He needs a college education. This is for the best of
him even if he wants to be a performer, he has to get a degree. Being a
star isn't forever but a degree can be. It's the perfect investment of a
person. I just have to convince him.

When we landed on Florida, I walked out of the plane and into the
airport. "Shit." I muttered when something entered my mind. I have no idea
where Brian lives in Florida. I know he has a house here but I don't know
where. I brought out my phone and dialed Kevin's number. I'm sure that he
has the address. "Hello?" Kevin answered the phone.

"Hi Kev!" I said on the phone. "I'm just gonna ask what Brian's address is?
I need to talk to him and I'm in Florida right now and I have no idea where
I'll go." I explained to Kevin my situation.

"That's cool! We should get together some time! I miss you and your
antics!" Kevin chuckled. "Oh yeah the address..." Kevin said and gave me
Brian's address. I still don't know where it was but hopefully a cab driver
does.

"Thanks Kev! I'll prolly see you some time. Bye!" I hung up the phone and
walked out of the airport. I hailed a cab and gave him the piece of paper
where Brian's address was written. He nodded at me. Thank God he knows
where it was.

I sent a SMS to Alex telling him that I have landed safely in Florida. SMS
is really a simple way of communicating. He replied to me saying that he
got my message and good luck to me. I think I'll need luck.

"We're here." The driver said to me. I looked out the window and saw a
gated house. It was fairly big but it seems that no one is home. All the
light was off. I wonder where he was? I stepped out of the cab and paid the
driver the fare and tipped him for finding the place.

I pressed the doorbell but no one was answering. I guess no one was
home. Where will Brian go? I assumed that he got home already and he should
be tired from all that he has done for the past tour. I looked left and
right looking for somewhere I could stay first, and eat. I was starving
already.

I saw a diner not too far away from Brian's house. Actually, it was
opposite Brian's house but a few lots away. So I can still see Brian's
house from there. I entered the diner and ordered a burger and a root beer
as I sat on booth where Brian's house could be seen. "Looking for
Littrell?" The old woman asked me.

"Yeah. I assumed that he's not there coz all the lights are off and I
didn't know where he was. I just hope that he goes home tonight." I
answered the kind lady.

"He was there earlier but he left around 4pm. Most probably he'll be
back. He always does." She told me and left me with my food. I must say
that the burger wasn't bad. I looked at my watch and it was 8pm already but
no sign of Brian. I was pondering if I should phone Kevin and ask him where
he was but a car parked in front of Brian's house and when the gates
opened, it entered the estate. I guess that's Brian.

I paid for my food and walked to Brian's house once more. There was a light
already in the second floor and on the first floor as well. I rang the
doorbell. "Who is it?" A voice said.

I pressed the button and talked. "It's Martin. Can I come in?" I said. The
gates opened and I entered. I walked to the front door and Brian was there
standing looking tired. "Can we talk?" I said as I neared him. He let me
inside and we sat in the den. It was a nice house and an amazing interior
as well. "Nice house." I noted.

"Thanks." Brian said to me. I dunno why but he seems to be nervous. He's
eyes were a little shifty like he's praying for something not to
happen. "Do you want anything?" He asked me.

"No thanks. I already ate in the diner across the street." I responded. An
uncomfortable silence settled in after that. I think I should go
first. "Bri, I'm really sorry about the last time." I started. I closed my
eyes trying to gather the strength that I needed to tell him everything. "I
really wanna be with you again. Last night, I was feeling mixed emotions
and my emotions got over me. I was too sad from the break up. I was too
contented with what we had even though if what we had was also the couple
thing already." I chuckled a little bit. "And I was angry too. I was angry
because you caused me so much pain and I wanted you to feel that pain. I
wanna let you feel what I felt. But I'm sorry for that. I am so sorry coz I
really love you." I said it all from my heart. I didn't look at Brian coz I
don't wanna see his reaction with what I was gonna tell him. I don't wanna
see the anger, pain or other emotion that might be written in his face. I
can't take it.

"Oh." Brian said, almost whispered.

"I went here to apologize with what I did to you and to ask if you still
wanna take me back." I told him hurriedly. My vision was beginning to blur
and I could hear my heart beat in my chest.

"Hey Bri! Where can I get some glasses?" A voice shook the silence. I was
expecting Brian's voice but not another voice. I looked back at the source
of the voice. A man with black hair was standing by the door to the
kitchen, I think. "Oh, you have a visitor." He stated and disappointment
settled in his face. "I'll just look for it." He said and walked away.

I looked at Brian who just smiled at me weakly. "Who's that?" I asked. Do
you know the feeling that something is not right in a situation? Like
there's a knot in your stomach? I was feeling that.

"He's just a friend." Brian answered me. He was uncomfortable. He was
always a bad liar. But I won't get out of this with a lie, I'll get the
truth.

"Bri, I want the truth. I was honest with you and I deserve it too." I said
to him trying to calm myself.

He breathed in like he was gonna reveal something big. "Okay, he's someone
I met in a cafe. He was nice to listen to me so I invited him here." Brian
answered.

"So, you two aren't gonna, um, have sex and everything?" I asked once more.

"No. He's just being nice so I wanted to be nice with him too." Brian said
with a weak laugh. As if there was a cue, the black-haired man entered the
den once more.

"Bri, I really can't find the glasses." He sorta whined.

"Why won't we continue talking in the kitchen so you can help him out too."
I said to him trying to be casual with what was happening before my eyes. I
know that it was obvious that something was going on with the two but if
I'm gonna do something drastic, I wanted something that is supported and
not something my mind conjured up.

"That would be great!" He answered. I stood up and walked with him trying
to be friendly.

"I heard that you've been a very good listener to Brian." I said.

"I love to listen to others and Brian here needs some help and I was there
in the cafe too with nothing to do so we got to talk and he poured out his
feelings. I guess it's his ex-boyfriend's loss coz Brian is such a charming
guy!" He told straightforwardly.

"I know." I mumbled.

"I mean look at him. He has almost everything. He has the looks and the
talents. And maybe I can let him forget about it later." He said with a
wink in Brian's direction. I stopped dead on my tracks. Did I just hear
what I heard? I looked at Brian who seemed to be interested in the pattern
of the floor. "Sorry, I didn't get your name? I'm Wesley." He said
extending his hand.

"I'm Martin." I said shaking his hand as I glared at Brian.

"Oh." A look of shock was written in the face of Wesley.

"I guess I better go. I hope you two will have so much fun." I said
sarcastically and walked away. "I will not cry. I will not cry." I
repeatedly whisper to myself. But the tears were already cascading down my
cheeks.

"Martin! Wait!" I heard Brian shout behind me. I kept walking. I need to
get away. A shoulder touched me.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled at him as I spun around. "You lied to me again!"

"Marty, you've gotta believe me. I didn't know that he wanted to hook up
with me." Brian said almost pleading.

"Bri, just assess what you just did with this Wes guy and tell me that it
seems that you're not interested with sex or a relationship." I told him
coldly. Who on earth will bring a stranger to his very own home if it's not
hooking? "Don't treat me like a stupid person."

"I just wanted someone to be with but I wasn't after sex or a
relationship. I love you too much to start something too fast. Marty, I
don't wanna be alone in this house. I invited Wes here coz I want some
company so I won't feel that sad with you away." Brian tried to
explain. Seeing him with tears flowing down his eyes really broke my
heart. I just wanted to scoop him up and comfort him at that moment.

"You're not lying to me?" I asked like a small child.

"I'm not lying. Please believe me." Brian held my hand. I looked at his
hand over my hand and the rings that we have exchanged with each other. It
was the symbol of our love and promise that we'll always be for each other.

"I believe you." I said as I embraced him. I wiped away the tears that have
escaped my eyes. It was like the world didn't exist at that moment. For me,
it was just Brian and I. I broke the embrace and stared straight at his
eyes. "Does this mean that, um, we're together again?" I asked.

Brian didn't answer with words but the kiss that he gave me screamed
'yes'. I can say that I missed his lips locked with mine. His soft luscious
lips. "I missed that." He said out-of-breath when he broke the kiss with a
grin planted on his face.

"Me too." I told him with a smile. "How about Wes?" I asked him.

"I'll just talk with him and clear this up." Brian answered. He extended
his hand to me. I intertwined my fingers with his and that's how we
returned to his house. Hand in hand.

When we entered the house, Wes was sitting on the couch prolly waiting for
our return. "I'll just go to the kitchen." I excused myself. I wanted them
to have their privacy as they talk this out.

"You can stay here." Brian told me. Well, I have no choice coz he wasn't
releasing my hand. He was actually squeezing my hand. "Wes, I'll just blurt
it out. Martin and I got back together." Brian said bluntly.

"Oh." Wes uttered. "I guess I should leave you two." He said as he stood up
from where he was sitting.

"You can stay here for the night. It's late already. It's the least I can
do for you coz you really helped me out earlier." Brian offered Wes. Wes
didn't answer but he looked at me, I just nodded at him.

"Um, okay. Thanks." Wes said with a weak smile.

"Why won't we get to know each other. You're still looking for glasses
earlier, right? Let's find something to drink while we chat." I said trying
to put in Wes in the mix. I know he would feel a little left out and he
prolly would give us the space so we can have our time together.

"That's a great idea!" Brian said to me with a grin. He gave me a peck.

"Okay." Wes said and we three walk to the kitchen.

Brian is really a good judge of character because Wes is really something
else. The awkward feeling that we had earlier on diminished and we were
chatting like old friends. Wes is actually a 24-year old fashion
designer. He wasn't famous yet in the fashion world but with what he was
wearing that he made himself, he was talented. He isn't a native of the
States. He just migrated here from Asia hoping to make it big in the
States. Maybe that explains his exotic look. His skin was yellowish
brown. Maybe because of his Chinese descent. But he too had a difficult
life. He wasn't that well off but he can manage for his everyday needs.

I tried to stifle a yawn but I guess the two trips I did was too much for
me. "You sleepy sweetie?" Brian asked.

"A little. The traveling is too much I guess." I said. "You can continue
talking if you want but I'm resting." I told them.

"I'm beat too." Wes declared.

"Well, I guess we are all going up now." Brian said with a laugh. Brian
brought Wes to one of the guest rooms. The room was very spacious and very
well furnished. "Is this okay?" Brian asked Wes.

"This is amazing. It's like my whole apartment already!" Wes laughed. "I
can't thank you enough for your generosity." Wes told Brian and I know that
it was a sincere one. Wes is one of the most real person that I have met
and I hope that we can be really good friends coz he's a good one.

"It's nothing." Brian said. "Good night!" Brian waved at him and closed the
door. Brian's hand snaked around my waist and nuzzled at my neck. "Now,
it's our night." Brian said seductively.

"As much as I want to, I'm really tired. Two plane rides is really tiring."
I said with a chuckle. I could picture Brian already pouting and when I
looked at him, he was really pouting. "Your pout ain't gonna work this
time. I'm really beat. Let's just cuddle. I miss it." I told him. His pout
turned into a smile and we walked to his room.

His room is prolly the biggest room in the house and the fact that it's not
really filled with furniture makes it bigger. There's only an entertainment
system in front of the king-sized bed with portraits of the Backstreet
Boys, his family and... me? "Is that me?" I asked him as I pointed at the
picture hanging on the wall nearest to the bed.

"Yeah. I asked Andre to take a picture of you." He said shyly. I didn't
know that he asked Andre and it was really a surprise. "Come on, let's
sleep." Brian said as he stripped down to his boxers. I too stripped down
and laid on the comfy bed.

"I love you." I laid my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat
continuously.

"I love you too." Brian was playing with my hair and that's how I slept
that night. One of the most peaceful sleeps I ever had. Maybe it's the fact
that Brian was there.
