****Hello all! Hope you guys like this installment. I enjoyed writing it. And thanks to all those who voted for me on the Boy band Awards. Well I guess that's enough small talk. On with the story.
Josh and Just 10
Justin slowly turned while he continued to sleep. JC silently gazed over Justin from the other couch. He sat there watching Justin breathe in and breathe out. Watching Justin every time he turned or clutched the blankets tighter. Watching his beloved rest peacefully. `Josh, your in love with him. You've fallen head over heels. But look, it's with Justin! That adorable face and those soft golden curls...' JC thoughts were cut short when he heard the soft creak of the door. He looked over and saw the divider open to reveal an exhausted looking Lance stumble into the room. He tiredly made his way over to JC and sat down next to him.
"Hey Josh..." Lance started.
"Shhhhh!" JC replied, with a point in Justin's direction. Lance stopped talking in mid sentence and nodded in understanding.
"So are you just watching him sleep? Or are you waiting for something to happen? Like maybe have a bucket of that snow outside all over him. Or maybe the cold water from the sink?" Lance thought.
"No, I'm just watching him sleep." JC whispered back, still keeping his eyes on Justin.
"You are no fun." Lance huffed as he laid back on the couch.
"Ohhhh Tony." The sound snapped both heads toward the sleeping teenager. JC had a shocked look on his face as he gazed at his boyfriend, who had just called out another man's name. Lance dropped his jaw as he saw Justin still sleeping.
"It's not a joke. He actually is dreaming about doing.....someone else!" Lance said in shock. JC sat frozen in his position looking at Justin with tears building up in his eyes.
"JC, it's okay. He's probably dreaming about some guy who has the exact same traits as you." Lance suggested. JC looked at Lance in confusion.
"That didn't help did it?" Lance asked. JC shook his head before laying back down on the couch. He let out an exasperated sigh and stared at the ceiling while the tears slowly trickled down his face.
"Lance there's not another guy right?" JC asked.
"How would I know! It's not like I watch my friends gay relationships closely." Lance replied. JC let out another sigh before wiping the tears from his cheeks.
"JC. It's okay. There is not going to be another man. It's only been what, a week into the relationship? He is not going to give you up. You are the best thing that has happened him. Let him explain." Lance suggested as he placed a hand on JC's knee and rubbed it for support. He slapped JC's knee before getting up.
"Maybe you should wake him up." Lance advised as he walked out of the room. JC nodded and looked toward Justin. `How was he supposed to act? The person he loved called out someone else's name!' JC thought. JC crept over to the couch at which Justin was sleeping and slowly moved down so he was face to face to face with Justin. As he was about to shake Justin awake, Chris came bursting through the door.
"Good Morning Sunshine!" Chris burst with happiness. Justin popped straight up out of bed while JC fell back off his haunches onto his ass.
"Damn Chris! Could you be any louder?!" Justin asked as he sat up and looked around. JC stood up and took a seat on the couch next to where Justin was laying.
"Awww poor baby." Justin said wrapping his arms around JC's neck for a hug.
"Morning sexy." JC replied. Justin smiled and laid back. He looked up at JC and smiled.
"Hey Just. Can I ask you a question?" JC asked. he looked down at Justin and lightly placed his hand on Justin's stomach.
"Yeah hun?" Justin asked, looking back up at JC.
"Who's Tony?" JC asked bluntly. Justin's look of happiness turned into one that was whimsical.
"What?" Justin laughed.
"Justin! It's not funny. I heard you moaning out `Ohhhh Tony' while you were sleeping." JC said, trying to imitate Justin as much as possible. Justin broke into laughter.
"What? What is it?" JC asked, bewildered to why Justin was laughing at him.
"You remember Tony Lucca right? From MMC. Well I was dreaming about him." Justin laughed. JC did not laugh back. Justin looked toward JC and then stopped his laughing.
"What? Like you've never dreamed of other people before?" Justin replied. JC sat there looking back at Justin, still dumbfounded that his boyfriend was dreaming about another guy.
"Stop staring at me and say something. This silence is scaring me." Justin responded.
"Was he good?" JC asked.
"What?" Justin asked in return.
"Was he good?" JC repeated.
"I don't know. All he was doing was kissing me. JC, it's just a dream. I'm not going to leave you for him. I love you with all my heart. I just...just... lust him!" Justin said. He covered his mouth once he said it.
"So you don't lust me?" JC asked, his heart began to sink.
"Noo I meant that with you I have a special thing of lust and love mixed together and I will not trade that in for any other good looking guy on this planet. It's just I have a slight crush on Tony. You don't have to compete with him. It's just a dream. It's not like I'm going to cheat on you with him. I love you too much to do that." Justin apologized as he placed both of his hands on JC's cheeks.
"I still don't like it that my man is dreaming about another." JC pouted. Justin pushed JC back on the couch and instantly began to kiss him. JC felt as both of Justin's lips began to pursue his. JC let Justin's tongues slip into his mouth where he suckled it and massaged it with his own. The two were lost in there own world as they shared their intimate moment.
"Hello? I'm still in the room." Chris announced. Justin pulled back and opened his eyes before letting out a sigh.
"Then leave." JC responded. Justin broke a smile and rested his head on JC's chest.
"Excuse you. I'm not the one kissing my boyfriend all over the place where helpless straight people could come in and see it, to later become traumatized by it. I'm just looking out for everyone else." Chris joked.
"Shut up Chris." Justin smiled. JC laughed as Chris huffed and took a seat on the other small couch .
"Come on you guys. We have to check into the lodge." Jennie announced as she poked her head into the bus. Justin stood up and felt JC's arms go around his waist. The began to waddle down the path leading toward the front of the bus.
"Could you two hurry up?" Joey called from behind them.
"Leave them alone. Just because you have no one to love, doesn't mean you can pick on lovebirds." Britney called form in front of Justin and JC.
"Hey, you are not behind them. If you were, you'd say the same thing." Joey replied. Justin laughed and pulled JC along a little faster. The two let go of each other as they walked our of the bus, into the parking lot of a small lodge.
"Okay fellows. You will be checking in and getting your rooms. There is someone here to see you guys. She will be co-hosting the game that will be played with Mr. Daly. So if there are no more questions then you may proceed." William claimed.
"Yes sir!" Lance said as he saluted William behind his back. William turned around to see Lance with his arms at his side, smiling widely. They all let out a snicker once William turned around and started walking.
"Hey is that the girl that is going to co-host the thing?" Joey asked, looking into the lodge to see a girl sitting by the fire in a big warm chair.
"Yeah I guess so." Justin replied, squinting to make out the face.
"That's Danielle!" Lance said as he ran to the lodge, quickly.
"How could he tell?" JC asked, still trying to make out the person. Justin shrugged and continued to walk to the lodge.
"So what are the rooming arrangements?" Joey asked.
"Well we have to keep this really quiet, but Lance and Danielle would probably want a room together. We gave one to Justin and JC. And you and Chris have one." Jennie replied. She held Seth in her arms as she spoke.
"Sure stick the two love deprived people in a room together." Chris mumbled.
"Hey maybe you two might hit it off after spending a night together." Justin joked. Joey and Chris looked at each other and then pretended to gag. Jennie placed Seth down to sign the guest book. Seth started to dash to the couch where JC was seated. He bounced up and landed in his lap.
"Hello." Seth smiled. JC ruffled the kids hair and smiled.
"Hey Seth. How's it going?" JC asked.
"Gooood." The kid replied. He turned in JC's lap to face everyone else before hopping off and running back to his mother.
"That was pointless." JC joked, as Justin took a seat next to him.
"Hey leave the kid alone. I remember your mom telling me a couple of stories about what you used to do." Justin smiled.
"Okay. I'll behave." JC said, keeping quiet. Justin laughed and nudged him lightly. He let his head hang back while he heard Lance start to play the piano. The sound of wrong notes and wrong keys came flying through the air, as Lance tried to play Chopsticks.
"Lance stop! You're killing that song." Chris yelled. Lance stopped playing the piano and smiled. Danielle took a seat next to him on the piano bench and nudged him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked into her eyes.
"Aren't they a cute couple?" Britney asked as she took a seat next to Justin on the couch.
"You say that about every couple." JC laughed.
"Yeah well it's the loner in me." Britney sighed. She turned and laid down with her head in Justin's lap. Justin smiled and ran a hand over Britney's forehead.
"You'll find someone. Hey maybe it might be Freddie? You never know." Justin laughed as he nudged her.
"I can only dream." Britney sighed. Justin looked up from Britney to see what was happening around the lodge. He looked toward the door where he saw an attractive man that he's known he's seen before. He looked closely at the head which was covered by a ski cap and turned toward JC in shock.
"JC look who's at the door." Justin whispered. JC casually looked toward the door where he saw a man coming in with skis. He looked from the man to Britney and back to the man again. JC looked toward Justin and smiled.
"Umm Britney. Look toward the door." Justin whispered to her. Britney sat up and turned around. There at the door she saw a little old lady hanging up a coat.
"Why am I looking at a nice old lady?" Britney asked. Justin and JC turned toward the door and saw the man was gone.
"Where did he go?" Justin and JC asked each other in unison.
"You were supposed to watch him." They said to each other in unison once again.
"Umm If you are looking for her husband. He's right there checking in at the counter.'" Britney stepped in. Justin looked over to the counter seeing a little old man signing his name.
"Not him!" Justin replied.
"Well he's in this building. We're bound to see him again." JC replied.
"You two are a little too weird for me." Britney claimed, getting up and walking over to Danielle.
"Hey is this our room?" Justin asked, looking at the number.
"Yeah I think so. I think Chris and them are next to us. Jennie and Britney are in the one across from then and Danielle and Lance are on the other side of us. You know I wonder where William sleeps?" JC asked as he followed Justin into the room. He carried the bags through the open door and placed them down next to the bed.
"Hey Justin could you close the door?" JC asked. Justin walked over to the door and was ready to close it when he saw a man walk by the room. It was the same one as before.
"JC come here." Justin yelled in a hushed whisper.
"What?" JC asked, coming up behind Justin. He pointed down the hall to a man walking away. JC recognized the man and waked out into the hall. He rushed over to Britney's room and began to knock furiously. He kept his eyes on the man as he began to round the corner to another section of rooms.
"What?!" Britney asked as she opened the door. JC accidentally kept knocking and ended up hitting Britney's forehead with his knuckles.
"Oh I'm so sorry Britney! But follow me!" JC said, grabbing a hold of her arm and pulling her in the direction of the man.
"Where are you taking me? And why?" Britney asked.
"Just look down this hall." JC said stopping at the corner. Britney looked down the hall and saw an empty hall with unopened doors.
"What are you trying to get me to look at?" Britney asked. JC looked down the hall himself and saw no one. He let out a sigh and walked back to his room.
"I'm confused." Britney said to herself.
Justin took a seat on the bed as he came out of the shower. He tightened the cord around his robe and laid down. He stared at the ceiling for a little bit before closing his eyes. It wasn't long until Justin felt a pair of moist lips spreading kisses across his neck. He let out a soft moan as JC moved his kisses up to Justin's lips. The two were once again in there own world. A world where their love for each other was indescribable. A world where the only thing that mattered was the two of them. No one else. JC softly kissed Justin's nose before pulling away. He looked down to Justin's pleasure filled face.
"I love you." JC whispered.
"I love you too Josh." Justin responded. JC laid down next to Justin and received him into his arms.
"So what time do we have to head out?" Justin asked.
"I think in like twenty minutes. I should go get ready." JC said, as he kept his spot with Justin on the bed. Justin turned and faced JC and kissed his nose softly.
"I don't want to go out there. I want to stay in here with you all day." Justin pouted. He leaned forward and rested his forehead against JC's chest. JC kissed the back of Justin's hair before speaking.
"Well think of it this way. Tonight after the show we'll be together on our date." JC suggested. Justin let out a smile and stole one more kiss from JC before getting up and finding something to wear. JC got up and walked into the bathroom.
Justin walked out of his room with JC following closely behind. Both of them took a seat on the small sofa in the hallway, waiting for everyone else to come out. Lance was the first to walk out, alone.
"What happened to Danielle?" Justin asked. Lance frowned and sat down next to him.
"She had to go host something or other. I wish she wasn't a host. I swear I saw Carson Daly try to pick up on her. And if he lays a single finger on her, he's going to have a hard time taking my shoe out of his ass." Lance said in anger.
"Calm down Lance. It's probably all in your head." JC laughed. Their attention was brought to the next door that opened. Britney and Jennie came out with Seth walking behind as he carried a stuffed animal with him.
"Hey you guys." Britney said before taking a seat on the floor in front of JC. She rested her back against his leg.
"Hey Brit." Justin replied. Seth tried to climb onto the sofa desperately until Justin picked him up and placed him in between himself and JC.
"Can I ask you guys a question. Why do you guys keep asking me to look at something. First it's the door, and then down the hall. Is this some kind of inside joke or something?" Britney asked in confusion.
"Well I guess you should know..."Justin started. He was stopped by Joey and Chris coming into the hall, noisily. The two fought as they pushed through the door and pushed each other as they got into the hall.
"What's up you two." JC asked.
"Chris here is getting on my nerves." Joey claimed as he took a seat next to Britney.
"I'm getting on your nerves. You are getting on MY nerves." Chris retorted.
"Good one Chris." Justin stated. Chris glared at Justin before taking a seat.
"Okay well all of you can get up now cause we have to head out. Britney you can come with me and stay backstage. You guys have to go get on your snowmobiles." Jennie announced.
Justin tried to hide the yawn that he could not keep in any more. He sat on a higher platform with the rest of *N Sync and looked down toward the audience of screaming girls that were trying desperately to get his attention. He gave a small smile and waved to some people before looking around the small arena set up for them.
"You okay?" JC asked, from next to Justin.
"Yeah just a little tired." Justin claimed.
"OH MY GOD! JUSTIN AND JC ARE TALKING!!! HOW SEXY!" A girl yelled. JC and Justin burst into laughter and looked at the group of girls who were all now looking at them. Justin continued to laugh hysterically and fell onto JC shoulder. He continued to laugh as he held onto JC's shoulder to keep him up. JC himself laughed, but more at how Justin was laughing than at the comment.
"You hear that Josh? We're sexy when we talk to each other." Justin said, continuing to laugh.
"Well you are always sexy." JC whispered to Justin. Justin stopped his laughing and looked at JC before giving him a small smile.
"I could say the same thing about you." Justin said. JC broke into a blushing smile.
"But I won't." Justin added. JC turned toward Justin and punched him in the arm.
"Hey! I was just joking. You are very sexy." Justin whispered back.
"Hey We're back here at MTV. I'm Carson Daly with co-host Danielle Fishel and we have the great honor of sending one lucky girl on a dream date with pop music group *N Sync." Carson said from the front stage.
"And we'll get started once Justin and JC stop talking to each other." Carson added. Justin and JC stopped talking and looked toward the stage.
"I hate him." Justin mumbled toward JC. JC gave a small laugh and acted as if he was interested in what Carson said.
"Hey Josh. I think you should hold Lance back. He looks really pissed that Carson has his arm around Danielle." Justin whispered.
"Already covered. I told Lance that if he wants to tackle Carson, he could do it afterward and that I'll help." JC responded.
"That'll be fun. `*N Sync Members Bludgeon MTV Host'." Justin said, predicting newspaper headlines.
"Well I plan on locking Lance in the room right after this." JC responded. Justin broke into laughter and nudged JC.
"Our ten contestants will now perform a routine to one of *N Sync's songs and the best group of five will move onto the semi-finals." Carson announced. The first group of five girls came running out while Justin let out a sigh. He still had a whole day to go through.
"Okay we survived. Now all we have to do is go out on a date tonight." Chris said, letting out a sigh of relief.
"I get to go on two!" Justin said excitedly. JC smiled as he followed Justin into the lodge. He looked around the cozy lodge until something caught his eye. It was a man sitting by the fire reading a book. It was the same guy that was at the door and in the hallway.
"Justin look." JC said pointing to the guy. Justin looked and looked back at JC excitedly.
"Britney look." Justin said pointing to the guy.
"No! I'm tired you guys. I don't want to look somewhere and end up seeing an old lady or an empty hall. I just want to sit on this couch and feel the heat from the fire while I sit here a wish I had a boyfriend." Britney sighed. She collapsed onto the couch and hugged a pillow while she looked into the fire. She looked across the table and saw a man reading a book looking at her. Justin and JC stood and watched as Britney looked into the eyes of the person they had wanted her to get with.
"She gave him a small smile before looking back at the fire in sadness.
"Now why is a pretty girl like you sad?" Britney heard someone asked. She looked up and saw the man that was sitting across the table.
"Umm no reason." Britney replied, looking into the eyes she thought looked so familiar.
"Mind if I sit down?" the man asked.
"No go right ahead." She responded, still trying to make out the face she was looking at.
"What?" the man asked, noticing that Britney was staring.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Britney asked. The man gave her a smile before taking off his ski cap.
"Hi my name is Freddie." He said, putting forth his hand. Britney's mouth dropped opened as she looked at Freddie Prinze Jr. face to face. She looked down at his hand and back up at his face.
"Do you.....Do you know...do you know who you are?" Britney asked as she shook his hand slightly.
"Yes I do. And I definitely know who you are. I can't really say that I love your music and it's the only thing I listen to. But I can say that I like it and the person who sings it." Freddie said coyly.
"Why don't you speak to me like that?" Justin asked as he faced JC.
"Because I didn't need a pick up line to get you." JC smiled back. The two turned back to Britney and Freddie.
"Why thank you Freddie. Umm Can I call you that?" Britney asked.
"You can call me anything you want." Freddie responded.
"He's goooood. Real gooood." Justin and JC verbalized at the same time. They watched as Britney turned bright red.
"I was wondering if you were busy tonight? And if not would you like to do something with me tonight?" Freddie inquired.
"No, My schedule is free. I would love to do something with you." Britney smiled back.
"Take notes Josh. You can learn a few things from him." Justin said plopping down on the couch in front of the fire.
"Hey! I'm not that bad. I bet I'm a better kisser than he is." JC proposed.
"Well I'll find out and get back to you on that." Justin smiled toward JC.
"Okay, you do that......Hey!!" JC said finally getting what Justin had said.
"Just kidding." Justin said as he nudged JC. Justin looked across the table and saw Britney and Freddie talking, every once in a while seeing Britney blush from a flattering comment that Freddie made.
"Hey You two. We have to be there in an hour." Chris claimed.
Justin sat at the end of the table with a hot chocolate in his hand. He softly stirred it with a spoon as he looked inside. He placed down the drink and looked at his watch. He looked across the table at JC who was also stirring his drink which was resting on the table.
"Where is she?" Lance asked.
"She's only ten minutes late you guys. It's not like she's an hour late." Joey laughed. He looked at the camera that was filming them.
"Right now she is a little late and we pretty much just ordered ourselves a drink and got one for her too." Justin said into the camera. He looked across the table and saw JC laughing at him.
"Nothing." JC smiled. Justin rolled his eyes and looked back into his drink.
"Hey just are you going to order anything?" Lance whispered.
"No I'm saving room for my dinner with JC." Justin whispered back.
"Ohhhh." Lance said out loud.
"Why'd you ask?" Justin asked.
"Well I wanted to try the Chicken Alfredo and the Pasta Primavera but I don't want too much food. So I was gonna see if you wanted to mix and mingle." Lance stated.
"Oh sorry. But I suggest the Chicken. I had the pasta for lunch today and it isn't that good." Justin responded.
"Hello you guys. I'm so sorry for being late. It's just I kind of took a little too long getting ready. I'm so sorry." The girl apologized. Justin sighed knowing that it was going to be a long time until he could be alone with JC.
JC hopped up and walked back into the lodge. Justin watched as he walked to the counter and exchanged words with the lodge owner. JC came back to Justin smiling.
"Ready?" JC asked.
"Ready." Justin replied. JC smiled and began to walk down a hall. They passed many of the first floor rooms but soon came to a quiet room in the back. JC took the key from his pocket and opened the door. He turned around and smiled at Justin.
"Okay close your eyes." JC said.
"Why? You're not sending me outside are you?" Justin asked.
"No. Just close them." JC assured. Justin complied and walked into the room with nothing leading him but his grip on JC's hand. JC stopped causing Justin to stop in his tracks.
"Okay open them." JC announced. Justin slowly opened his eyes. He gasped at what he saw. There in front of him was a smaller version of the entrance of the lodge. It was a room the size of a normal living room with two worn yet comfortable couches on either side of the fire place. In front of the fired place there was a blanket set down with two overstuffed pillows resting on it. In between the pillows was a dozen red roses along with a lit candle. Next to the candle was a picnic basket with a red bow tied at the top of the handle. The only light in the room emerged from the fire from the stone fireplace and the tip of the candle.
"Awww Josh! I love it!" Justin said happily. He hugged JC and pulled him into a kiss. JC smiled and kissed him back.
"Shall we." JC asked as he held out his arm. Justin linked arms with JC and walked into the room.
"You're so funny!" Britney laughed as she continued to walk with Freddie through the small path near the lodge.
"Thank you. But I'm not as funny as you are beautiful." Freddie responded. Britney blushed and look down at her hand which was interlocked with Freddie's.
"Am I ever going to see you again?" Freddie asked.
"Of course you will. I'll be in LA in a week. And you will too. You have your premiere to go to." Britney reminded.
"Will you come with me to my premiere?" Freddie asked. Britney looked up at him and gave him a small nod along with a smile.
"I'd love to." Britney responded. Freddie leaned down and softly placed a kiss on Britney's lips.
Justin laid on his stomach facing the fire while he propped himself up with a pillow. He looked toward the fire while he took a sip of his drink. He looked toward JC who was in the same position yet was looking at Justin happily.
"This was perfect Josh. Thanks so much!" Justin said as he leaned over the melted candle to kiss him. JC took the candle away before anything caught on fire and moved himself over next to Justin. JC placed a small kiss at the end of Justin's nose and looked deep into his blue eyes.
"I love you Justin Randall Timberlake." JC stated with great love in his voice.
"Ditto Joshua Scott Chasez." Justin smiled. JC gave off a small laugh before leaning in once again to place a kiss on Justin's lips.
"I had fun tonight Freddie. Thanks." Britney claimed as she stopped in front of her door.
"So did I." Freddie said looking down at her with a loving smile.
"I guess this is goodnight." Britney said. Freddie leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips before she opened her door and walked in.
JC and Justin laid fast asleep on the couch. JC had his head propped up on the arm of the sofa facing the fire while Justin slept in front of him on the couch. JC held Justin for warmth just in case the giant quilt that covered the two wasn't enough. The fire slowly dimmed as the night progressed leaving the loving couple to sleep in the peaceful night.
