Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 23:54:57 -0400 From: Susie Q Poofu Subject: (mm/boybands) More Than Anything : Prelude : Chapter 1 Hi, this is my first time posting anything on here so hopefully I'm not screwing anything up.. I've sent this story out to a bunch of *NSYNC OneLists, which were for the most part, not gay and on most of the lists had never had a story with a gay relationship in it. I was surprised to find a lot of good responses on it. I started writing the story back in September or October of last year, and I hadn't really written anything in a long time, so my writing at first isn't the greatest. I have inprove a lot I think since then. I'm still writing the story and it's far from over I think, it's on chapter 50 now. Anyway, the prelude isn't the kinda thing you normally see on nifty but I wrote it to explain some things and everything so I'm just gonna keep it there. I came across the archives in Febuary and I've read tons of awesome stories and I hope there will be some people that will like mine. Well anyway, I'll just get on with this :) If you like it, or have any problems with it, please feel free to email me, I'd like to know if I should continue posting it. nsyncforever@ureach.com Oh, one more thing, I am a girl so obviously I'm not to knowledgeable in this, but I try :) Oh and there is going to be sex, but not until chapter 11, I hope you can wait :) **Legal Disclaimer: I don't know any of the people mentioned in the story nor do I know if they are gay or not. All names are used ficticiously (I think I killed that word..) and not meant to imply anything about the sexualities of *NSYNC. If you are underage or this is illegal for you to be viewing for some reason, please leave.** On with the story! Prelude This story is all about love and relationships of *NSYNC, mainly Lance and JC, and to fully understand it, you need to know some of the history of their love lives. Remember, this is purely fiction and has nothing to do with the members of *NSYNC's real love lives. We will start with Lance, Lance has had girlfriends all his life, he's always been a really friendly guy, but he's never truly been in love, though he's been close a few times. He's never had a really serious relationship, nothing looking toward marriage. He is bi-sexual, he realized this when he was about 16, when he realized he was attracted to a male schoolmate, nothing happened though, as the boy was straight. Lance's first and only gay relationship was with Joey Fatone. It happened in the beginning of *NSYNC, when they were struggling and when they were in Europe. They were discreet with their relationship, only one other found out, JC, and he's the only one that ever found out. They were great friends, but then after their relationship ended, they drifted a little more, JC was there to comfort Lance, and since then, they have been best friends. Lance couldn't handle Joey's life, he was too flirty, Lance couldn't trust him, he felt as if he'd get cheated on, Lance wanted more of a commitment than Joey could give him. It also was very dangerous to be together, they were always worried someone would find out, they were almost found out once, and they couldn't have that happen, so they ended the relationship. The only person Lance was with after Joey was Danielle Fishel, he was with her until he found out she was using him, that was the only relationship that got publicized, he wanted to keep it secret at first, but Danielle announced they were going out and flaunted it to everyone, she used him for his status, his fame, his money, so he broke it off with her. He just wanted to find the right one he could settle down with, he would have to worry about getting hurt, or betrayed, he just wanted to find "the one" and be happy. Next is JC, JC has a girlfriend as the story begins, her name is Stacy, you'll find out more about her in the story. JC doesn't love her though, he is gay, he likes her as a friend, but that's it, he didn't want to, but he was with her for the need to be with someone, people were suspicious why he'd been single for so long, so when she asked him out, he went for it, he knew she was probably cheating on him, but he kept it on so it looked good, neither cared. JC had had a few gay relationships when he was younger, but nothing serious. He wanted to get serious though, there was one person whom he loves with all his heart... Lance. Then is Joey, as everyone knows, Joey is the flirt of the group. He wasn't as bad as he seemed but he'd been with many women and a few men. A few serious, but nothing ever lasted too long, that was until he met a girl names Nina. They met at an *NSYNC concert last fall. Nina was a big *NSYNC fan and won meet and greet passes off the internet, she had submitted a fan fiction story about them and her story won. They didn't really hit it off when they met, they seems to be total opposites, Nina didn't say a lot, which intrigued Joey, he was interested in her, there was just something about her that he like and he wanted to get to know her more, and that he did. He was happy to find out that she lived in Florida, he called her almost everyday while on tour and when he came back home, they got together, they've been together since. It's been the first time he'd been committed and faithful to a girl. Justin was dating Britney Spears, again, they've been dating on and off for years, none of them really liked Britney, they just acted like they did in public, as to not start rumors, but they really couldn't stand her. Justin was always different when he was with Britney, she was so manipulative, she could get him to do just about anything, it was really hard on the guys, cuz they were all really good friends with him, especially Lance, even though sometimes Lance could get jealous of him because Justin seemed to be just perfect, but the two were great friends, he got along with everyone, well unless Britney was around. Chris had a girlfriend for over 2 years, her name was Becky, and they were doing great, everyone liked her, she was really nice and was like a big sister to all the guys, a total opposite of Britney. Chris and Justin were both straight, Joey was kinda openly bi, he never actually talked to anyone about it, but they saw him with boyfriends and ya never know with Joey, so assume everything. Only close, trustworthy family and friends knew JC was gay, all the guys did, and his close family and a few friends from home, but that was it. The only one that knew that Lance was bi was Joey. When this story starts, its May of 2000.*NSYNC was on a well deserved month long break before they toured for the summer. After settling their legal problems, their third album "No Strings Attached" was released 3 months prior. Justin and Joey were staying at their homes in Orlando while Chris went home to PA and Lance was staying in his new house, and JC was staying with him. Chapter 1 "I'm home!" shouted Lance as he walked into his house. It was 5 p.m., the 3rd day of their break. He was surprised it was so quiet. "He must be sleeping." he thought. Lance walked up the stairs and peeped through the door of his best friends bedroom. There he saw JC asleep with a smile on his face. "Looks like a good dream." Quietly he shut the door and walked downstairs. JC was staying with Lance over their break, he told Lance he didn't want to be alone and would like to spend the time with him. Lance just figured JC felt bad for him, he was depressed a lot lately. All the guys had girlfriends, and Lance was alone. Lance plopped down on the couch and started to flip through a magazine as he heard the muffled sound of JC's cell-phone ringing. He heard commotion upstairs and then a loud thud. Lance ran upstairs to make sure JC was ok. JC got up off the floor and picked up the phone and groggily said hello. "Yo JC wazup?" asked Justin. "Oh nothing, I was just SLEEPING!" JC replied, obviously annoyed. "Oh, well I just called to say I aint gonna be commin up like I was gonna, Brit's havin more "knee surgery" if ya know whats I mean and she's not spose to be up and about, so wes just gonna chill at my pad nstead." Trying to hide his happiness, JC told him that was too bad, he'd miss him and to say good luck to Britney for him. As JC hung up the phone Lance walked in. "You ok Josh? I heard you fall, it didn't sound like it felt too good." Lance said with a general look of concern. "Yeah, I'm ok, I just wacked my thigh pretty hard on that table though. said JC as he winced in pain as he lifted his leg back on the bed. "Let me check that out." Lance said as he walked over to him. As Lance was observing his black and blue JC told him who called. "Good" Lance said relieved, "I didn't really wanna see that skank anyway." JC smiled, "Me neither, and now we can spend more time together, do some male bonding stuff." "Yeah." chuckled Lance in that deep southern voice that drove the girls wild, as he walked to the bathroom to get some medicine for JC. He came back with some cream he had bought off and infomercial one sleepless night. JC gave him a funny look, "What's that?!" "It'll make it feel better and the bruise not so bad." He walked over to JC. "'ll be careful to not touch it too hard." JC was a baby when it came to pain, Lance knew that. Prepared for the worst, JC closed his eyes tight as Lance dabbed come of the cream on his thigh. "It'll be ok Josh! It's not gonna hurt! he said as he slowly and carefully started to run the cream in. JC wasn't paying attention to how much his leg hurt, he was concentration on how Lance's hands felt on him. He sucked in a quick breath as Lance pushed up the leg of his boxers to access more of the large bruise. "Oh, sorry." Lance said, thinking he hurt JC. "It's ok." muttered JC as Lance finished up rubbing it all in. JC was enjoying the sensations running through his body by the touch of his friend. "Come on man, He's your best friend, and you have a girlfriend!" JC said to himself, trying to convince himself he didn't feel anything, knowing fully he had feelings for Lance, he had for a while, but didn't dare tell a soul. As Lance pulled the leg of JC's boxers back down, he accidentally brushed his hand up against JC's `manhood'. JC let out a quiet moan. Neither knowing what to say, Lance went and put the cream away. As Lance walked away he thought about what just happened, it seemed kinda weird somehow. When he was taking care of JC, he had this feeling going through him, he didn't know what it was or why it was there, but he knew it felt right taking care of JC. "He's my best friend." He thought, as he shrugged it off.
