Justin groaned out in pain as the phone rang, very loud and very painful to his sensitive hearing and throbbing head. He blindly reached out, picked up the phone only to slam it back down again, letting out a content sigh when the ringing stopped. It was only his wake up call, so he had nothing to worry about. A few minutes later he managed to get his eyes opened as he slowly sat up. He really shouldn't have drank so much last night, what was he thinking? That's right, he really wasn't thinking, just acting on pure impulse. Well, that was the last time he was doing that, he thought to himself before closing his eyes; the pounding in his head not helping a single bit.

He reached into the nightstand and took out the small packet of Advil he had there and swallowed two, raw, making a face as it squeezed down his throat. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, volume low, to the local news channel... just to keep up with the times. Finally he got himself to stand up and with the help of certain furniture and the wall he made his way into the bathroom to take of business and hopefully to wake up some. By the time he got back to his room he was feeling refreshed but that headache was still there. He frowned when he realized the channel he's turned on was the MuchMusic channel and there was JC being interviewed by some reporter. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the people in the background before he quickly grabbed the remote and turned up the volume. This was last night. Nick hung out with JC last night.

Although Manny and Marty were in tow, all Justin could see was Nick being there at the club with JC. Justin began taking in deep breath, ignoring the throbbing in his head that was increasing again. He grabbed his cell phone, intent on calling Nick. As he turned his cell on, he noticed there were a few voicemails, so he called in and listened to them. He fumed at the message Nick left and then growled at the message JC left. Disconnecting with the message system he dialed home, hoping to get Nick on the line.

As he was waiting for someone to pick up the phone, he continued to stare at the TV screen.

Aaron was already awake even though it was seven o'clock in the morning. He has just camped out downstairs on the couch the night before and was now watching early morning cartoons. He groaned when the phone started ringing though but picked it up before it would wake Nick up who had came in at four. "Hello?"

Justin wrinkled his forehead before remembering that Aaron was staying there. "Aaron, it's Justin," he greeted. "How are you?"

Aaron yawned and then laughed. "I'm good...how are you?" he asked wondering what Justin was thinking about the whole fight going on between him and Nick.

"I've got a headache," Justin said clearing his throat. "Is... um, Nick home?"

"Yeah he is...but he's sleeping." Aaron said as he got up going to get Nick even if he was sleeping. These two NEEDED to talk.

"Oh," Justin said as he took in a deep breath. "Um... he went out last night, right? Do you know what time he got home?"

"I think it was around four." Aaron said a she made his way upstairs and then down the hall to Justin's room because he assumed Nick would be there. He was right. "But I'll wake him up."

"No, that's okay," Justin said rubbing at his head. "Let him sleep. I'll call back later."

"Too late," Aaron laughed before he started tickling Nick and you could hear over the phone Nick groaning and cursing at Aaron to leave him the fuck alone.

"Justin is on the phone...talk." Aaron said shoving the phone at Nick before walking out of the room.

Justin groaned. Nick didn't seem to be in the right frame of mind or mood right now and Justin didn't want to make it worse. He waited till Nick said something or showed some sign that he was listening.

It wasn't that Nick was in a bad frame of mind or mood, but having your brother jump on you after only 3 hours of sleep wasn't a very nice away to wake up. Taking a deep breath he put the phone to his ear. "Hey baby," he said not really as chipper as he normally would have but he wanted Justin to know he wasn't REALLY mad at him just there were some things that he wasn't happy with.

"Hey," Justin said, clearing his throat some more when the grogginess didn't go away. "I.. uh, got your message and… did you have fun last night?"

Nick sighed; the more he thought about things the more he regretted HOW he sounded in that message. He still believed the things he said but he knew they could have been said better. "Justin...I shouldn't have said all that...like I did..."

"Yeah, well... you did," Justin said. "And... you're right, you do have your own stuff to deal with and I have my own but you're forgetting that I'm also a part of your life and hence your stuff is my stuff... kinda." He groaned realizing he wasn't making any sense. "This is not going well."

"No...You have a point but you have to remember that if my stuff is your stuff...then your stuff is my stuff too." Nick pointed out. "Which means you can't go and say you have a lot on your plate and that one more thing is too much to deal with. Think how I felt feeling out of control when I had all this other stuff to deal with too. I didn't purposely wake up that morning and think 'Oh I should go screw over Justin's life today, that sounds like fun'."

Justin sighed. "I never said that's what you did or that was your intentions. I told you I get that you had your issues with the side effects... hell Nick," he cringed and lowered his voice to a level where it wouldn't hurt his head. He took in a deep breath. "I just…if you were so out of it why the hell didn't you just stay the fuck home? You just added more stress to your own self on top of being tired."

"Because I didn't want you to be mad at me cuz I missed work." Nick whispered.

"Nick you already missed work that night. Unless you have the power to turn back time and not miss it... then all I can say there was no point in you going in the next day when you clearly needed to rest. I told you... well my mom to tell you that you could make up the work by either working some other time...." Justin didn't mean to put the blame on anybody nor was he accusing Nick of his actions but he was worried about his boyfriend.

"Like I said yesterday...I fucked up in more ways then one. I've already apologized to your mom for the way I treated her. I will do the same to Tim." Nick said just not wanting to fight anymore.

"I'm not talking about Tim or my mom," Justin said with a sigh. "Forget it." What happened, happened, it's in the past now.

"Then what are you talking about?" Nick asked with a frustrated sigh. "I thought this whole thing was about what I accidentally said to Tim."

"It's partly about that and partly other things... like going into work when you shouldn't have. You have people around you to help you, you're not alone and you act like you have to take care of everything yourself."

"I know that," Nick said sounding defeated.

"I need something to eat," Justin said making a face as his stomach grumbled. He hadn't even eaten dinner last night, just went out and got drunk. "So, I'm gonna go."

"Okay...thanks for calling me back." Nick stated not feeling any better about things. He felt there was another reason Justin called and he wasn't talking to him about it.

"Sure," Justin said. "Talk to you later, bye." With that he hung up the phone and looked through room service for what he wanted for him breakfast even though it was a little after ten in the morning. Once he figured out what he wanted he dialed room service.

Nick sighed and tossed the phone onto the bed next to him. It was times like this that he wished Lynn was still there. It was weird but a woman's perspective on things was always nice. He closed his eyes intent on going back to sleep for a few more hours but it was hard because he kept thinking about how he hadn't heard Justin say 'I love you' for almost five days now.

Aaron watched as the red light on the phone down in the living room disappeared and knew his brother was off the phone. Quickly he went up stairs and entered the room to see Nick still in bed, and he got a sinking feeling in his gut that told him things haven't been resolved yet, "Everything, alright bro?"

"No," Nick answered honestly. "I'm not exactly sure what's going on."

"Why... what happened?" Aaron asked crawling on the bed and sitting Indian style next to Nick's body.

"Nothing," Nick laughed almost bitterly as tears came to his eyes. "That's the sucky part...nothing got figured out and he just leaves and...and he doesn't tell me he loves me anymore." he knew Justin did still love him that wasn't the problem...he just knew whatever the problem was really bad if Justin didn't feel like he could say it.

Aaron remained silent. He felt like he was listening to Angel again talking about her 'boy' troubles but it usually ended up with silly arguments over insignificant things. "Well, whatever it is... you both need to be locked up somewhere together and figure shit out... and you do know that he loves you regardless if he says it or not, right?"

Nick nodded his head, "Yeah I know...just not hearing it reminds me that our problems aren't just stupid and petty but something big."

"You never know," Aaron said with a shrug. "It could be the completely the opposite but you make it a big deal."

Nick shrugged, "Maybe...but if you don't mind Bro...I need a little more then three hours of sleep..."

"Yea, yeah," Aaron said as he got off the bed and went towards the door. "Night," With that he closed the door behind him and headed back down to the living room, bored out of his mind.

The next time Nick woke up it was noon. He got up and took a shower got dressed and then headed downstairs. He was happy to see Aaron still watching TV in living room. "Hey...you wana see if Kel wants to go shopping?"

Aaron looked over at his brother and nodded his head. "Sure," he said before asking, "You took your meds yet?" Because he didn't hear Nick head into the kitchen to take them.

"No I haven't yet," Nick answered. "I came right into here since I came down, but I will take them, Dad." Nick teased sticking his tongue out at Aaron as he headed into the kitchen. "Go get yourself showered and dressed I'll call Kel."

"Okay," Aaron said as he turned the TV off, nothing interesting on the History Channel anyways, before bouncing up the stairs to his room. He quickly showered and changed before bouncing back down the stairs. Plus, he was also a bit hungry, that whole box of cereal he had that morning wasn't enough for him to be full. Maybe it also had to deal with his cravings for the stuff his brother flushed down the toilet, so he turned to food.

Nick was in the den just about to call Kelly as he picked up the phone and dialed her cell phone number because he didn't know their home phone...if they even had them.

"I'll get it," Kelly said to Eddie who was seated across from her, as she licked her fingers from the sandwich she had been eating. Getting up from the island she walked over to where the phone was on the wall and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey Kel...It's Nick...how are ya?" Nick asked a small smile on his face when he heard her voice. He hadn't seen her since the night before Justin left and had to admit he missed her.

"Hey Nick," Kelly said with a smile. "I'm good. We were just having lunch... how about you?"

"Oh I'm sorry...I didn't mean to interrupt your lunch." Nick apologized.

"It's fine, really," Kelly said. "What's up?"

"Not all that much, just woke up actually." Nick laughed. "But anyways...Aaron and I wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping with us this afternoon."

Kelly smiled. "I'd love to," she said before looking at Eddie. "Eddie too?"

"Sure he can come too if he wants to," Nick said with a smile.

Eddie looked at Kelly funny and mouthed 'Me too what?'

Kelly covered the mouth piece. "Shopping," she told him.

Eddie made a face, he didn't like shopping, "Do I gotta?"

Kelly shook her head. "Nope but it's something to do," she said with a shrug before uncovering the mouth piece. "I guess he doesn't wanna... so, it's you, me, and the little squirt."

"I'm going to tell him you said that," Nick teased. "Okay...umm we'll come pick you up in half an hour?" he asked making sure that was okay.

"That sounds good," She replied. "I'll see you then, bye hon." With that she hung up the phone and went back to her lunch telling Eddie the plan.

Nick hung up the phone and walked out of the den to find Aaron eating a VERY large sandwich. "Damn boy...that is some sandwich."

"I'm hungry," Aaron said with a mouthful of food. Once he chewed and swallowed he added, "Plus, I'm a growing boy!" He smiled, proud, before going back to stuffing his face.

"You reminded me of me at sixteen...all legs." Nick laughed as he went and grabbed stuff to make a sandwich for himself. "Now I'm all stomach," he said rolling his eyes.

"It suits you," Aaron said a few moments later. "Doesn't make your head look big... like it did when you were skinnier."

"Fuck you," Nick laughed as he sat down at the table next to Aaron to eat his sandwich. "We're going to meet Kelly at her place in about half an hour."

"Okay, I should have this finished by then," Aaron said.

"Okay cool," Nick said as he ate his own sandwich. "I don't know where you put that thing," he continued to tease as he watched Aaron finish off his own sandwich.

"Same place you put it all those years ago," Aaron replied.

"I think it's caught up to me now," Nick laughed and then finished his sandwich and put the plate in the sink. "You have anything in particular you want to look at while we are shopping?" he was happy that Justin left him with one of his credit cards...or actually he was put on the account of it. He was glad Justin trusted him enough to not max the things out...which he would never do.

"Ummm," Aaron frowned as he thought about it. "Yeah, pants... jeans... whatever... they're all getting too small." To make his point he turned in his seat and looked down at his jeans that were showing more than an inch of his socks when he sat and barely reached the top of his sneakers when he stood up.

Nick couldn't help but bust up laughing, "Jesus...okay you need clothes that's obvious."

"Yeah, a pair of jeans and like sweatpants is enough," he said with a shrug. Not like he had plans to go around anywhere so he didn't need many clothes.

"Okay," Nick said even though he planned to get Aaron at least a few different pairs of both. "Come on man we need to be at her house in like ten minutes."

Aaron grabbed the remaining of his sandwich and the bottle of water as he followed his brother out of the kitchen and into the garage.

Nick rolled his eyes as he watched Aaron carry the sandwich. "If that gets in the car Justin will murder you."

"I won't get on the seats," Aaron said. "If anything, it'll fall on my lap. But I promise not to drop any sauce on any of his leather interior stuff." He rolled his eyes as he got in he back seat, figuring Kelly would want the passenger one once they pick her up.

It took about ten minutes to get to Kelly and Eddie's house and he honked the horn when they pulled up front.

Eddie heard this and playfully rolled his eyes. "I don't trust this young man Kelly...he doesn't even come up to the door to get you. It's not appropriate." he teased acting like he was her father.

Kelly laughed. "I promise I'll be home before midnight Papi," she said leaning up on her toes and kissing Eddie on the lips. She grabbed her purse and made sure she had everything she needed inside before heading out the front door.

Nick reached over and opened the door for her with a smile on his face. "Hey girly...are you ready to go shoppin?"

"When am I not?" Kelly said as she buckled in, waved bye to Eddie, before turning around in her seat to greet the boy in the back. "Hey Aaron, you're looking good," she greeted him.

"Thanks," Aaron said sipping his water bottle, having finished his sandwich a few minutes ago. "You too... long time no see."

"So, I feel like being extra crazy...Beverly Center sound good to you guys?" Nick asked looking at Kelly and then glancing in the rearview mirror at Aaron.

Aaron just blinked. He had no idea what the hell Nick was talking about mainly because he wasn't from around here so he didn't know what this place offered up. He shrugged. "Is that a mall or something?"

Kelly chuckled. "That sounds just fine to me," she said.

Nick giggled, "Beverly Hills my dear brother."

"Okay, we're going to this Beverly Center place that's in Beverly Hills..." Aaron said. "Sounds good."

"You're going to have to give me directions once we get of the freeway." Nick said to Kelly as he got onto the freeway heading in the direction for the mall.

"Will do," Kelly said as he turned her attention back to Aaron asking him questions and getting to know him more. And it continued that way with Kelly and Aaron making small talk and Kelly giving Nick directions for the next twenty to thirty minutes. Once Nick pulled into the parking lot outside the mall they got out and stretched.

"Well we're at the Macy's entrance...so let's just check there for your clothes...unless there is a certain store you have in mind?" Nick asked his brother as they headed into the mall.

"I don't know exactly what stores are in here," Aaron said. "I mean, if they have a GAP or Banana Republic or even Old Navy or ROOTS... I'm good."

Kelly thought about it. "I know they have a Banana Republic... I'm not sure about the others. But there's plenty of stores inside like Guess, Papyrus, Express, Hugo Boss and yada yada yada... and if those don't interest you... I'm sure Macy's got something."

"For some reason Aaron in Hugo Boss scares me," Nick laughed as they walked through Macy's but headed out into the main mall. "Oh here's a directory, Aaron tell us where you wana go."

Aaron read the list and smiled. "They have American Eagle Outfitters... and Banana Republic... so we can go there, if that's okay?"

"Of course, it's okay," Kelly said as she took in Aaron's clothes. She chuckled. "You more than need it... maybe after that, get you new sneakers and a... haircut?" She reached over and ruffled his hair only to have Aaron duck out of her reach and pout as he tired to put his hair back in place.

"Hey, no messing with the do."

"Yeah I bet your shoes don't fit very well if you're pants don't." Nick laughed. "Seriously us Carters are all legs and feet as teenagers."

"And socks?" Aaron asked. "Mine's got holes in them... I think my big toe grew too much."

Kelly laughed. "We'll get you everything you need... let's go boys."

"Underwear...undershirts," Nick laughed when Aaron blushed at him mentioning underwear in front of Kelly. He was beginning to wonder if his baby brother had a crush on his friend. That definitely would be interesting.

Aaron looked down at his feet as they headed over to the escalators and to the right floor and went in search for American Eagle Outfitters. Once inside Aaron sighed as both Nick and Kelly went on a 'oh this would look good on Aaron and this one and this on and oh that one' rampage through the store. All Aaron did was go in and out of the dressing room, modeling the clothes for his brother and Kelly having them decide which one's good before he gave them his opinion on what he thought felt good. And that's pretty much how it went to all the stores they visited.

And about three hours later all three of them went holding bags of clothes, sneakers, and other accessories that Aaron needed and what the other thought he might need. Aaron was happy that his brother looked so happy, and he couldn't help but laugh at all the corny things him and Kelly were bickering each other with, jumping in himself now and then. It wasn't long after that they headed back to their car and placed everything in the trunk and decided to head home, dropping Kelly off on the way before they headed home... Nick deciding Aaron needed to try on the clothes they bought that day just in case something wasn't right with it. Aaron could tell it was going to be a long night.

<><><><><><>

Nick flopped onto his and Justin's bed, and grabbed the phone off the night stand. He had just gotten back from going to dinner with Kelly and Eddie and now wanted to see if Justin was home and able to talk. It was close to eight his time so that meant it was eleven in Toronto.

"Hola," Justin greeted from where he was propped up on his elbow, stomach down, reading his script for the next day. Well, he was almost done anyways. He knew it was Nick... it had been a day since they last talked but he was in a better mood now than he had been that morning with his hangover.

"Hey...can you talk?" Nick asked really wanting to get things figured out this time.

"Just give a few minutes... and yes, we can talk... just stay on the line," Justin said as he read through the last page, front and back, of tomorrow's script. Six minutes later, he was done. Placing the script on the nightstand, he grabbed the hotel room called down to the front desk, requested a wake up call for seven in the morning, before he got himself comfortable under the sheets and turned his full attention to Nick. "Okay... we can talk now."

Nick was playfully singing the Jeopardy song when Justin came back on line. "FINALLY," he teased.

"What?" Justin said with a chuckle. "I wanted to get everything that I needed to do out of the way so you have my full attention." He then thought of something before he threw the sheets away from his body. "On second thought, hold on a minute." With that he placed his cell on the comforter before hopping out of bed, going into the bathroom to take care of business and brush his teeth. Once he walked out, set the thermostat to the temperature he wanted it to be, and got back in bed, under the sheets. "Okay, now I'm back for good."

"You could have taken me with you," Nick whined playfully.

"Huh?" Justin asked, a bit confused. "You want to go to the bathroom with me?"

Nick laughed, "Not like we don't do it in person." he said knowing they often shared the bathroom, one brushing their teeth or taking a shower one peeing.

Justin nodded even though Nick couldn't see him. "True, but I need both hands," he chuckled.

"Interesting," Nick laughed shaking that picture from his head. "So...umm how have you been the last few days?" he asked sure...they were laughing and joking now but stuff was still not resolved.

"Busy," Justin said honestly. "I've been shooting from dawn to dusk except for the last two days. Day before yesterday we shot till maybe six but I decided to head to a club with the guys... and yesterday... shooting didn't start till noon only to finish at ten." He didn't mention the part where he'd gotten drunk and then the next morning getting upset with seeing that Nick went out with JC. Just thinking about it was getting him worked up.

"That does sound busy," Nick agreed, not really sure what else to day. There was stuff Justin wasn't telling him but he didn't know how to get him to talk about it.

"What have you been up to?" Justin asked.

"Well...yesterday Kelly and I took Aaron to get clothes, you should see this boy...he looked like he was wearing flood pants they were so short on him. So we spent like three hours decking him out in gear. Then he and I watched movies until the wee hours of the morning. Umm today we had to meet with John and go over some stuff for the case it's supposed to be seen in court in two weeks. Then I went with Eddie and Kelly to this really great little Indian restaurant tonight. And here I am."

Justin listened to everything, a part of him completely happy that Nick seemed to getting along well and going places. But the other part of him, the major part was slightly depressed. Okay... maybe not slightly... but surely saddened that Nick seemed to be doing all that stuff without Justin. He vaguely felt like Nick didn't need him anymore and he never thought he'd ever feel this way but he missed his clingy boyfriend. "So, um..." he racked his brain for something to say. "So you and Kelly... are okay... you still don't feel like she doesn't like you?"

"I haven't sensed it recently so I think everything is okay." Nick said which he was grateful for that. He then noticed something. "Justin...what do I gotta say to make whatever is going on better? I'm sick of feeling like something isn't right between us."

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Justin asked, after mulling over what he thought Nick was referring to. "What isn't right between us?"

"You sound distant...and I don't mean because you're in a different country. I mean...ugh I don't really know what I mean." he said feeling dumb about brining up the fact that Justin hadn't said 'I love you in over a week now.

"I'm sorry," Justin said not knowing what else to say. "I don't mean to be distant... is it because we don't talk that much....?"

"You're going to think it's stupid..." Nick said as he kicked his shoes off and then stood up planning on changing into his PJ's.

"Nick, I love you," Justin said. "And nothing you're going to say is going to make me think you're stupid especially if it's something that's bugging you."

Nick laughed just beaming as those three words left Justin's mouth. "Well it ain't bugging me anymore cuz you just fixed it. I missed hearing you tell me you loved me." he said as he unzipped his jeans.

Justin laughed at that. "Oh," he said. "Uh, yea... you know I love you right, even if I don't say it as much as I should?"

"I do...but I just missed hearing you say it before I went to bed and stuff." Nick said blushing. "It's kinda silly I know."

"Nah," Justin said. "Besides... I don't recall you telling me you loved me." It probably would have helped some if Nick had said that that morning when he called with a hangover.

Nick thought about that and blushed even more, "You're right...but I do I love you so damn much." he said as he sat back down on the bed so he could kick his jeans off.

Justin heard little grunts from Nick's end of the line. "Um, what are you doing?" He asked, wondering if Nick was doing what he thought he was doing. If so, Justin wanted to go turn down the thermostat, cuz it could get really hot under those sheets.

"I'm taking my jeans off." Nick laughed not thinking anything about that question. "Hold on a second so I can get my shirt off too." he said as he sat the phone down then pulled his t-shirt over his head tossing it to where his jeans were. "Okay there better."

"Let me guess," Justin said. "You're in the nude?"

"Yup," Nick said as he got up planning on getting something to change into. Not know what Justin was thinking was going on.

"Great," Justin said just picturing that in his head and when he still heard ruffling noises he asked, "Now what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to figure out what I want to wear for bed," Nick laughed "What are YOU doing?"

"I'm already in bed," Justin said. "I'm talking to you."

"Really...didn't know that." Nick giggled as he looked through his clothes. He smirked when he realized there indeed was a shirt missing. "You know what...forget the clothes." he said as he headed back to bed still totally nude.

"Wha... why forget the clothes?" Justin asked, wondering what made Nick change his mind.

"It's too warm for clothes," Nick said as he climbed into bed, letting out a content sigh when the cool sheets hit his bare skin.

"There's a um," Justin cleared his throat. "A... thermostat thing on the wall..."

"Thanks...I'm good now though." Nick said noting the strange tone to Justin's voice...not sure what to make of it.

"Okay," Justin said, his mind blank on everything else except on the fact that Nick was naked and more likely than not naked in his bed and he's not there... in it with a naked Nick. "SO...."

Nick bit his lower lip; he was beginning to understand where Justin's thoughts were going and smirked. "Whatcha thinkin about baby?" he asked in a slightly seductive voice.

"I can honestly say I'm not thinking of anything," Justin said. "Just... wishing I was there with you right now."

Nick swallowed hard, "I wish you were here too baby."

Justin smiled, that made him feel better. Nick wished he was there with him. "Uh huh... I wonder what we'll be doing if I was there right now..."

"Knitting?" Nick teased. He knew where Justin was going with this.

"Sure," Justin said, smirking. "Although I have no idea how to knit I'm sure I could think up a few ways to use that barn of yarn."

Nick made a face at that, weird images coming to his mind. "That is a little freaky dude," he laughed as he wiggled around on the bed to get comfortable. "So knitting is out...since neither of us know how. What else should we do?"

"Strip poker?" Justin suggested. "That's always fun."

"One problem," Nick giggled. "I'm already totally naked...so I couldn't really strip anymore." he said knowing that would make Justin's mind go nuts being reminded that he was naked.

"Right," Justin said feeling the familiar tingling sensation in his groin. "Or you know," his voice lowered considerably, "since you're naked... I could just plant kisses all over and trail them down south..."

Nick bit his lower lip, he knew EXACTLY where that train of thought was going...and well down south wasn't responding to it at all. He wasn't going to give up yet though. "Ohh now that sounds like a much better idea. What are YOU wearing.?"

"Sweats and a wife beater," Justin replied. "But they could always come off later."

"Yes I think they should...but not later...now." Nick said thinking about that...a naked Justin...that was sure to give him some kind of reaction...but nope.

"What are you gonna do about it if I don't take em off now?" Justin asked although he started to pull down his boxers before tossing it on the floor.

"I guess I would have to do it myself." Nick said trying to keep the irritation out of his voice as his body not listening to him.

"Gee don't sound too enthusiastic babe," Justin said with slight humor to his voice in response to what Nick said and to the way he said it.

Nick laughed, but he didn't feel very funny, actually he felt down right weird. Here he was about to have phone sex with his boyfriend and he couldn't get a fucking erection.

"Well, I'm naked from the waist down," Justin said, his voice still low…he just was too lazy to take his wife beater off.

Nick closed his eyes trying to picture that and he could and it did get his heart rate going, just nothing was happening down below. He wanted to keep this going for Justin's sake...but he just couldn't seem to get himself into it. Taking a deep breath he did something he never thought he would do...changed the subject. "So...what time do you gotta be filming tomorrow?"

Justin was a bit taken back. He pulled his cell away from him and stared at it for a moment before bringing it back to his ear. "Uh, come again?" He questioned, not sure if he heard right. He had just told his boyfriend he was naked from the waist down and the response he had gotten was not what he expected or even remotely close to it.

"I asked what time do you start filming tomorrow." Nick said again. He knew what Justin was having issues with what he said. HE couldn't believe he said it and THEN.

"Filming starts at ten..." Justin trailed off as he looked over at the time, almost midnight... maybe the lack of sleep these past few days was catching up to him and his mind was just being weird. Nick was NOT asking about work when Justin wanted to play, it's usually the other way around.

Nick too looked over at the clock seeing it was almost nine. "You sounded really tired the other day...maybe you should get some more sleep." He said not realizing that Justin had been hung over something terrible that morning.

Justin opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He was at a loss for words. Nick was actually willing to end the call with him... first. There was something wrong with this picture and Justin couldn't help but feel the sense of loss with Nick not being clingy as he used to be. "Do I sound tired now?" He asked.

"No...I guess not," Nick said. "I just don't want you to get so tired out you get sick, especially since your up in cold weather that your body isn't used to. Then lack of sleep added on top of It." he said actually stressing an issue he had been thinking about for a while...Justin's health.

"Huh," was all Justin could say, his mind boggled by the turn of this conversation. "I..uh, guess... you're right, I think." He wasn't really deprived much of sleep just... those past few days since that phone call and then him getting plastered the other night. He sighed. "Okay... then um, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"I work tomorrow night and I believe I'm going with Manny to look at some art gallery thing or something that he really wants to go to but Marty isn't feeling good." Nick said actually kind of looking forward to the art gallery thing even though that wasn't really something he got into.

Justin couldn't help the pinch of jealousy that went through him when Nick said he was going to be out and about with someone else. He didn't care that Manny was taken by Marty, no... All he could think was HIS boyfriend was going out with another guy... a gay one at that... to some art show. "That sounds like... fun," he said, trying to keep his voice as happy as possible. "You guys have... fun, then."

"I'll try to...I don't work until nine tomorrow so can I call you before I leave for work?" Nick asked he really DID want to talk to his boyfriend.

Justin thought about it and shook his head. He didn't know what he was going to be doing. "That's midnight for me," he said... knowing the day after he doesn't have to go in to the set until noon.

"I would be calling around eight so eleven." Nick said. "But if you're going to be busy...I'll just talk to you another time I guess."

"Call," Justin said, frowning. "If I don't answer I'm probably asleep... If I answer... then I answer." He chuckled, uneasily.

Nick laughed at that, "Okay I will call...but baby get a good nights sleep. I don't want to hear you coughing on the phone any time soon." he said with love evident in his voice.

"Okay," Justin said with a sigh. "Love you...and good night. Talk to you tomorrow."

"Love you too baby...sleep tight...don't let the bed bugs bite." Nick said with a small smile on his face. He knew Justin was feeling odd about what he did...changing the subject, but he didn't know how to tell him what happened.

Justin hung up the phone and connected it to its charger, placing it on the nightstand before he took his wife beater off. Once the shirt was on the floor he reached under his pillow for Nick's shirt and clung to it as he got comfortable in bed, ready to sleep with the faint scent of Nick's lingering cologne occupying his senses.

<><><><><>

Justin finished up the scene for the day and he walked off the set with LL... James, as he preferred to be called by his co-stars... in tow. Just as he was heading into his trailer to change out of his movie clothes James called out to him, saying something about how they were heading out to a club that night and that Justin should come along as well. Justin had smiled and nodded his head before saying that he'd loved to but only for a few hours because he didn't wanna stay out too late.

In turn Justin received an amused look for James before he rolled his eyes at the other man and said he was going... and to just give him a few minutes to change and then they could go. He checked his cell phone for any missed calls or voice mails from anyone... from Nick but he didn't anything from him. He sighed; it was only eight for him and about five for Nick. It wasn't long until he found himself admits his co-stars going to some club, the name of which Justin either didn't catch or didn't pay much attention to. As per usual, the paparazzi were there and Justin did his thing and them some more with his co-stars and a mini interview before they all entered the club.

"Do want anything to drink?" James asked once they were inside where the music was blaring and people were dancing everywhere. Heck, there was some drunk chick dancing on the bar closer to where they were.

"Definitely," Justin said as they headed over to the bar and took a seat. "I'm good with anything." He added when he noticed James was about to ask him what he wanted. As James placed their drinks Justin looked around at the club, seeing just who's there, glimpsed at the girl dancing on the table before he decided his finger were more fascinating than anything that was going on around him.

"Here you go," James said as he handed Justin his drink and took a seat next to him. "You know you're not really that loose...you need to loosen up man; especially for somebody who's single."

Justin laughed at that before he took a big gulp of his straight up Vodka. Sure, loosen up. "I've got a lot on my mind... and not really looking for anyone at the moment." He shrugged. "So, how's married life treating you?" He decided to take the attention away from himself.

"Good," James said as he looked around the room. "Makes going out to clubs kinda dull though cuz you can't like hook up with anybody." he laughed.

"So, you just came here to drink?" Justin asked as he finishing his glass of vodka and requested the bartended to give him a refill. He missed Nick.

"Pretty much...and people watch," James said with a smile. "But you man you gotta get out there and dance." he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Oh no," Justin said shaking his head and wondering what was taking the bartender so long. "I've done enough dancing to last me a while..."

The bartender handed Justin his drink and then went to help a few other customers. Just then Catherine Devine came walking up, putting a hand on both Justin and James's shoulders. "Hey there boys...how ya doin?"

Justin looked at the hand on his shoulder before following its head to the face of it's owner. "Hey Cat," he greeted with a polite smile. "Good...you?" He took his drink and slightly turned around in his seat so that he was facing James and could see her at the same time.

"Good, good," Catherine said with a smile full of purely white teeth. She then called the bartender to get her a bloody Mary. "You guys just going to sit here all night?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"I plan to," James laughed as he took another sip of his drink.

"Uh," Justin shrugged. "I'm pretty comfy here... so yeah?"

"You guys are no fun," Catherine teased as she took a sip of her drink, leaning almost seductively against the counter between them.

"I'm married, if I leave here who knows how long I'll be married." James laughed before telling the bartender to give him another shot.

Justin looked at Catherine, wondering why she was looking at him like that, as if asking what his excuse was. He drank more of his drink, feeling himself loosen up some but still not enough to want go dance with her or something. He wasn't in the mood because Nick was still on his mind and he could just picture Nick looking at dumb paintings with another guy and having a blast at it... with out him. He took his cell out and looked at the time before checking if he'd missed any calls. His heart sunk when he didn't.

"Expecting a call?" Catherine asked seeing Justin check his cell phone and then getting a disappointed look on his face.

"Kinda," Justin said. "It's not time anyways..."

Catherine nodded her head as she finished off her drink. "Well, I'm going to go out and dance you boys can join me if you feel like it." with that she walked off, her tight low riding jeans hugging her ass perfectly...if you liked that sort of thing.

"She's got the hots for you," James laughed not understanding why Justin didn't seem to care.

Justin looked at James before downing his second glass and coughing a little. "Really?" he asked as he looked back at her. "I didn't notice. She was probably just being nice and stuff... since your married and all, you're off limits." Truth be told, he wasn't even paying attention... the only blonde he's thinking about is Nick not the one that's got boobs and is dancing away on the dance floor.

"Want another one?" James asked with a raised eyebrow seeing how quickly Justin was downing the alcohol tonight.

"Yup," Justin said, his speech slurred... very little. This time, he ordered JD. "So, Deed," he chuckled calling James by his characters name from the Edison movie they were shooting. "You ready for the blowing things up scenes coming up?"

James laughed, "Totally...that's always the best part of a movie."

"Yeah... but I'm kinda nervous actually being PART of that scene... seeing it on a screen is one thing... but doing it... is another thing." He finished off his drink and slammed the glass down.

James eyes went wide; the boy was drinking like a fish. "Uhh...well you're doing well so far so I think you're going to do perfectly fine." he assured him. 'If you're not so hung over you can't think.'

Just then Justin's cell phone started ringing.

Justin looked down at his lap, chuckling when the though 'my pants are ringing,' went through his head. It was the funniest thing in the world at the moment. Slowly he reached his hand in his pocket and pulled his cell out, before flipping it open, and bringing it up to his ear. He brought his free hand to his other ear and blocked it as he pressed the phone closer. "Lo?"

"Hey baby...sorry I didn't get to call you sooner." Nick said. He was actually just making time to call Justin has he drove to work.

"Ish okay," Justin said with a smile. "What you up toooo?"

Nick could tell something was different in Justin's tone and could hear loud music in the background. "Am I interrupting something?"

"Nope," Justin answered as he looked around the club, "Nothing at all."

"Okay," Nick laughed as he stopped at a stop light. "I'm just on my way to work."

"Oh okay," Justin said, pouting as he realized they couldn't talk longer than a few minutes. "Be sure to drive with the ear phones on... or you'll get... um," he paused as he tried to remember what that word was. "Rooted." No, that didn't sound right. "Rested... URRested."

Okay, now Nick knew for sure...Justin was drunk or close to it. "I am...and you sound like you're having fun. I hope the bartender is being nice to you or I'll come kick his ass...us bartenders can do that."

"Bartenders... fighting," Justin chuckled, thinking it was funny, "In a pool of alcohol and broken bottles as sword things."

"Sorry baby I didn't bring my sword." Nick laughed trying to not think too much about WHY Justin sounded like he had one too many drinks.

"Why not?" Justin almost whined, "I miss your sword." He was now figuratively referring the sword to a part of Nick's anatomy. Not having gotten off in a while and being technically turned down last night for phone sex was making him slightly cranky.

Nick's eyes went wide and then laughed, "I miss your sword too baby...soon enough we can sword fight again." he had NO idea where this was coming from but it was entertaining.

Justin had the brain cells enough to say the next part in a low voice so no one could hear, not that could anyways with the loud music... but still, he wanted to be safe. "But my sword don't wanna fight with yours... wanna do other things... no fighting."

Nick swallowed hard, it was nuts NOW he was getting turned on and last night NOTHING was happening...this was so not good, Especially since he had to work in fifteen minutes. He pulled into his normal parking spot. "Oh...well what does your sword want to do?"

"It wants to go in somewhere hot and tight," Justin replied not realizing that it had a double meaning and that Nick could possibly take it as something else instead of it meaning Nick's mouth. Basically he was trying to say he wanted a blow job from Nick.

Hearing those words from Justin made Nick's body light on fire. 'This is NOT good when I have to go work now' he thought to himself. "We'll just have to wait until I come see you baby boy."

"Yea, yeah," Justin said, "More waiting...I guess I'll talk to you later."

Nick sighed, "Yeah we'll talk later...have fun." He wasn't sure he liked the fact that Justin was obviously drunk once again.

Justin hung up the phone and replaced it in his pocket as he turned back around in his seat and gave a small smile in James' direction. "Sorry about that..." he said, taking in a deep breath.

James was looking at Justin weird but shrugged his shoulders. "Don't worry about it."

Justin nodded his head and was about to order another drink when Catherine came back, slightly out of breath. She made herself comfortable against the bar between James and Justin and ordered herself a bottle of water. While she waited for her order to come up he looked between James and Justin making Justin look back at her, wondering what was up. "Is everything okay?"

"Just wondered why you guys were still just standin here." Catharine said as she drank down half the bottle of water once the bartender had given it to her.

"What else are we supposed to be doing?" Justin asked, titling his head to the side and giving her a confused look.

Catherine laughed and rolled her eyes. "Dancing of course!"

"With each other?" Justin's voice increased a tad bit as he made a face at that. In his almost drunk state he thought she was saying that he and James should be dancing together. "No offense man," he told James. "But nooooooooo."

Catherine busted up laughing at that, "No Justin...not with him...just out there dancing." she then got an idea. "Or dancing with me," with that she pushed herself up so she wasn't leaning anymore and grabbed Justin's hand. "Come on...I know you can shake it."

Justin was about to protest but before he could even get the right words out he found himself in the middle of the dance floor, with her pressed tightly against him. He wondered how he got there so fast without him knowing about it. Thinking what the hell he rested his hands on her waist and started to dance with her.

"There we go," Catherine said with a smile as she wrapped her hands around his neck. "I knew you could do it."

'Of course, I could do it,' Justin thought to himself as he gave her a small smile. 'But the thing is... I didn't wanna do it... not with you anyways.' He licked his lips and looked over her shoulder to just look at whatever.

Soon the tempo of the song changed and Catherine scooted in closer, so she was practically grinding up against him. "I really like this song," she whispered in his ear.

"It's a good song," Justin agreed mentally yelling at his dick to not react to the way she was grinding against him. But no, it wouldn't listen and he could feel his jeans get a little bit tighter. Perfect. "So... uh," he rummaged through his brain trying to start some kind of conversation of he could get his mind off of the rising problem in his pants. "You live here or back in the states?"

"I have houses both places," Catherine whispered smirking a little because she could feel the response she was getting to the grinding against her thigh. To her she was doing nothing wrong, Justin was a hot single man in her eyes so she moved in even a little closer positioning her leg slightly between his.

"That's nice," Justin said, sucking in a deep breath as he closed his eyes and tried to get his bearings. He wanted to tell her that nothing was going to happen between them but at the same time he didn't want to ruin their working relationship with awkward tension. But he knew he better say something soon or else things could and would get ugly. But what was he supposed to say?

The song changed again, but Catherine didn't pull away. She could tell Justin was having issues, and took it to her advantage. "Are you getting tired?" she whispered.

Justin looked down into her eyes and shook his head 'no' before realizing that he should have said yes then he wouldn't have to dance with her anymore. He rubbed the back of his neck before shrugging. "A little," he said bring his hand up to rub the top of his head. "I should... I need another drink. You want one?"

"Sure," Catherine said as she walked with Justin to the bar, making sure she stayed close to him.

Once at the bar Justin ordered them both a drink, something nice and sweet for her and something really strong for him. "So, what's a pretty girl like you still doing single?" He asked.

Catherine laughed, "I probably wouldn't have to be, but I choose to be."

"You like the single life, eh?" Justin asked with a smile. "That's cool."

"I like the don't having to be tied down life," Catherine giggled as she drank her margarita.

Justin nodded his head. "Understandable," he said. "Can't say I can relate to that… I like having someone to go home to… have someone there when I need em kinda thing."

"Then why are YOU single?" Catherine asked as she moved so she was almost sitting in Justin's lap. James by this point had actually gone to a table and was chatting with some other friends.

Justin cleared his throat. "Who said I was single?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"We haven't heard about it in the news," Catherine pointed out. "Normally you're open about your relationships."

"I realized being open about a relationship gets me screwed in the end," Justin shrugged. "The relationships tend to end... bad. So, I figured why not keep it on the low and see how it goes."

Catherine figured Justin did have a point. "That makes sense." she said as she called to the bartender to get her another drink.

Justin took in a deep breath seeing that she wasn't getting the point. "So, yeah, I'm a taken man right now and no one knows about it," he trailed off, drinking his drink.

"Good for you," Catherine said, trying to not act disappointed. She knew her chances with Justin were gone now. Then she thought of something. She didn't have go give up, she could still get Justin in her bed that night and that was what she was going to do. "Do you want another one?" she asked pointing down at Justin's empty glass. He was becoming way too sober, he needed more in him.

"Yeah sure, why not?" Justin said as he waited for the bartender to give him the refill.

"Give him two; I know he'll drink it." Catherine giggled and the bartender did what she said

Justin frowned. "How do you know I'll drink it?" He asked, sipping his drink slowly, not in any rush to drink both glasses. He couldn't help but feel that she's been assuming a lot of things about him... and that didn't settle well with him.

Catherine shrugged her shoulders, an innocent look on her face. "I just thought you would is all."

"Hmm," Justin said, sipping his drink and ignoring the fact that she was still sitting on his lap. They made small talk until Justin had finished both glasses of his drink and she ordered another one for the both of them before she tugged his off to the dance floor, Justin not protesting since he was nicely buzzed and pretty flexible at the moment.

Once on the dance floor Catherine took up her old position, with one leg between Justin's and grinding to the music. Justin wasn't the only one who was pleasantly buzzed.

"You know," Justin said with a chuckle, his hands resting on her waist. "If I didn't know any better... I'd say you were trying to get me in bed."

Catherine smirked, "What Mr. Timberlake would give you THAT idea?"

Justin looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Better question would be what DIDN'T give me that idea." It was more like, she was looking at him the same way girls used to look at him when he'd been single and dancing with them. That look that read I want you tonight.

Catherine didn't say anything just continued to dance close to Justin wanting him to get turned on and stop thinking so damn much.

Justin licked his lips when her leg pressed nicely against his crotch and he had no control of his hormones as his jeans once again became tight.

Catherine smirked as she leaned forward, rubbing her leg against this crotch a little more, feeling him respond to her. He wasn't the only one turned on now, that warm feeling was pooling in the pit of her stomach and she wanted nothing more then to leave the crowded dance floor with him. Feeling naughty she started licking around his earlobe as her leg rubbed against him.

Justin groaned before that tiny little voice in the back of his head told him that he shouldn't be doing this. "We uh... It's getting late... and I should head back to my place."

"Awe come on it's not that late…just a few more songs." Catherine begged, looking up at Justin with sexy pouty lips.

Justin sighed as he looked at her. "Just a few more and then I should really call it a night."

"Okay," Catherine said with a smile on her face. She even pulled back from Justin a little so her intent wouldn't seem so obvious anymore.

Justin went back to dancing with her and a few songs later they were pressed flush against each other, sensually dancing together, people watching them. Justin felt his legs getting weak and he was getting even more lightheaded than usual.

Justin went back to dancing with her and a few songs later they were pressed flush against each other, sensually dancing together, people watching them. Justin felt his legs getting weak and he was getting even more lightheaded than usual.

Catherine could feel Justin getting weaker and pulled back. "You don't look so hot..." she whispered. "Maybe I should take you home..."

"Yeah... but I'll just call a cab," Justin said pulling away from her. "You don't need to go through all that trouble."

"It's not trouble; I would feel better if I took you." Catherine said, obviously concerned.

"Well, okay," Justin said as he headed over to where James was to tell him that he was calling it a night.

Once Justin was talking to James, Catherine had him by the arm and was leading him outside. By this point Justin was almost falling over and she had to hold him up. "Whoa there big boy," she laughed when his right hand landed on her breast.

Justin looked at her and then down at his hand wondering how the hell it got there and then took another moment to realize it shouldn't be there and another moment for it to register in his mind that he needed to get his hand off of her breast. "Sorry," he mumbled, wondering what the hell was going on. Everything around him was getting a fuzzy edge to it and it was starting to spin. They headed out back to avoid the paparazzi in the front neither aware of the pissed off and upset eyes watching them intently.

They made it into a cab without any more problems but once inside, Justin was still having issues keeping his hands to himself. It was like they had a mind of their own, but Catherine didn't really care any.

Justin threw his head back, his eyes closed tight. He'd never felt like this before and it was awful. "Are we there yet?"

"Soon," Catherine said as she rubbed a hand over his thigh to hopefully sooth him....if not anything else.

That usually would have soothed Justin but right now it was causing his hormones to get all whacked out and he groaned. He brought his hand down and placed it on top of hers that was rather high on his thigh and a little to close to his crotch.

"It's okay..." Catherine whispered as she let her fingers dance on the jean covered leg, even though it was covered by his own. One of her fingers trailing along his zipper.

"Cathy," Justin groaned out as he forced his eyes to open and look down at his lap, to where her fingers were. He found himself reacting even more to the site.

"Yes?" Catherine whispered as she looked up at Justin with lust filled eyes. She could feel Justin straining against his jeans even more then before and knew if he stood that it would be more then obvious.

Justin bit his lower lip as he looked at her. "I'm in a relationship right now," he told her incase that didn't sink in before.

"I know," Catherine stated, obviously this didn't matter to her. Her fingers were still working their magic as they teasingly moved up and down the now obvious bulge.

"Well, okay," Justin said as he brought his hand up against and took hers away from his zipper. "Good."

Catherine didn't have a chance to protest because they were stopping. "Ohh good we're home," she said as she looked out the window and saw her house.

"Goody," Justin said as he turned and tried to open the door except the door handle kept moving around and he couldn't quite grasp it. "Why the hell is this thing moving around?"

Catherine giggled and she opened the door, helping Justin out of the car and up the walk.

Once Justin was out of the car and he stood staring confused at the big house in front of him. "This isn't my hotel," he said after a few moments when he realized just what wasn't right with the picture.

"No, this is my house," Catherine explained. "I didn't think you would be okay to be by yourself so I brought you hope with me to take care of you." she said as she led Justin into the house.

"I told ya you didn't have to go through all this trouble," Justin said stumbling a bit and almost fell but he grabbed onto Catherine just in time. Their faces were close, their lips too close. "Whoa... the ground is attacking me... Sorry."

"It's okay," Catherine whispered before she ran her tongue along his lower lip. She then quickly pulled away and walked him into the house. She led him right to the stairs and up them, wanting to get Justin in bed before he actually did pass out.

By the time they got inside and up the stairs to... her bedroom, Justin was having a hard time keeping his eyes straight. Everything was getting too blurry and his head was hurting. "Ooo, a bed," he said reaching for it before stumbling over to it. "I think I'mma get sea sick on this thing." It was moving too much. He carefully crawled on top of it before he rested on it.

Before much more could be done, Justin was out like a light on the bed. Catherine laughed shaking her head. She then went about stripping Justin of all his clothes and then her own before climbing in next to him. She then got an idea. Reaching over she found his still erect cock and stroked him a few times until he came. "Now you'll wonder what we've done." she whispered to herself.

<><><><><>

It wasn't until there was pressure in his bladder that Justin forced himself to wake up. And when he opened his eyes he had to immediately shut them because it was too bright. Groaning he rolled over onto his back, his whole body sore. He then turned onto his side and saw blonde hair on the pillow and in his daze he smiled. Nick was there with him. He let out a content sigh as he propped himself up on his elbow and leaned over to press a kiss to his head. Carefully he pulled down the sheets only to have his eyes go wide when it wasn't Nick's face that greeted him. Horrified he gasped. "What the..."

Catherine moaned in her sleep and then opened her eyes slowly. She smiled up at Justin. "Good morning..."

"Uh," Justin gulped. This was not a good morning. "What the… where… when... you're naked."

Catherine laughed, "I am...and you are too." she pointed out as she lifted up the sheet and looked down. She was surprised to see 'little Justin' was standing at attention even though he had gotten off the night before; the evidence of that still obvious too.

Justin looked down, and quickly pulled the sheets back over himself to cover up. He ran a frustrated and panicked hand through his hair. "This is not happening," he mumbled to himself. He closed his eyes tight and prayed that when he opened them again, it would all just be a fucked up dream. But no such luck. Catherine was still there, smiling seductively at him. "We didn't..." he motioned to between them. "You know... do anything,.. did we?"

"What does it look like?" Catherine asked with a raised eyebrow.

Justin wanted to cry. He really did. It looked like they had sex last night but he couldn't remember a damn thing. The last memory he had was of dancing with her but everything afterwards was a blank. "Oh gawd," he drawled out as he grabbed the sheets and got out of bed quickly. A wave of nausea hitting him as he did so. "Bathroom... I think I'm gonna.." He clamped his hand tightly over his mouth to keep whatever was trying to make its way out in until he had a garbage can or a toilet to puke it in.

Catherine sat up in bed as she watched Justin run to the bathroom and slam the door behind him. Sighing, she got up and wrapped a light robe around herself. She then went downstairs, got him a glass of water and a few aspirin and went back upstairs to wait for him to come back out.

Justin heaved into the toilet and heaved some more. He had to literally force himself to stop at one point because there just wasn't anything left for him to puke out. Gasping for air he flushed the toilet and fell back against the tiled wall, hissing at the coldness against his skin. "Oh man..." All he could keep thinking about was Nick and what was going to happen now. He felt churning in his stomach and whimpered before going back to heaving vile into the toilet. This was not pretty. A few movements later he got himself under control and rinsed his mouth out with water. He wrapped the sheet around him again and slowly walked out of the bathroom.

Catherine was still sitting on the edge of the bed with the cup and pills in her hand. "I thought you might like these," she whispered sounding nothing like she had the night before.

Justin looked at her hands and smiled lightly. "Thanks," he said taking the pills and putting them in his mouth before taking the glass and washing them down his throat. "Thanks... again." he then gulped down the rest of the water, suddenly very thirsty.

"Welcome," Catherine said and then thought of something else. "You hungry..." she asked but then remembered the retching she had heard. "Uhh...never mind."

"Yeah, no," Justin said shaking his head. He looked at the bed wearily trying to remember anything that could have happened last night but still.... nothing. He spotted his clothes on the floor mixed with hers and felt his heart beat increase. "I should get dressed." He reached down and grabbed his clothes before walking back into the bathroom and leaned against the door for a few moments before removing the sheet and putting his clothes back on.

While Justin got dressed Catherine went about making it a point to take the sheets off the bed and change them.

A few moments later Justin walked back out, completely dressed minus the socks and the sneakers. "Uh... about last night," he started. "I'm really sorry..."

Catherine gave Justin a small smile, "Don't be."

Justin scratched his head. "But still... I can't remember anything about it... but whatever happened... I just... I'm not that kinda guy." He rubbed his face. "The last thing I remember was dancing with you... and I didn't even drink that much to get this fucked up."

"It's okay Justin...I understand." Catherine said with a shrug.

Justin sighed walking over to where his sneakers and socks were. He put them on and took his wallet out to make sure everything was in it. "I should... head back to my room..." He looked at the time and groaned. He had to be at the set in a few hours.

Catherine nodded, "I have to get ready for set anyway." she said as she led Justin out of the room and down to the front door.

"Thanks for... uh, the hospitality..." Justin had no idea what he was saying. He took his cell phone out and called the cab.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

It was late in the afternoon and Justin was on his break. He still wasn't feeling his best but was definitely doing his best to not make any mistakes on set. He was munching on a few snacks and realized Nick hadn't called him all day and got worried. Taking his cell out he called him and waited for an answer.

Nick was sitting in his and Justin's bedroom when the phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and sighed. He really didn't want to talk to Justin right now but knew he had to be the bigger person. Sighing, he picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey," Justin greeted, acting like everything was okay and not thinking much of anything. "What's up?'

"Hey," Nick greeted back, not saying much more. He was fuming but wasn't sure how to approach the subject with Justin yet.

"Uh," Justin said wondering why Nick wasn't being talkative or his usual self. "Everything alright over there?"

Nick took a deep breath to try and calm himself. "I should ask YOU that question."

Justin frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked, confused.

"I saw you this morning...on TV..." Nick started swallowing hard. "You looked like you had an awesome time last night...I'm surprised you even want to talk to me."

Justin's eyes went wide and he gaped like a fish at the wall. "What... no... It's not like that." He started to panic and that headache was coming to him full force. It definitely was like that from what he could gather that morning when he woke up but damn-it Justin didn't remember a damn thing.

"Then explain to me why you were groping her and grinding with her at the club, and then doing the same when LEAVING the club with her. You were all over her Justin!" Nick exclaimed sounding close to tears. He was surprised he could still cry after how much he had been doing all day.

"Gwad," Justin said as he flopped down on the couch and shook his head. "I don't remember anything from last night," he told him. "Just... Nick..." He took in a deep breath.

"Why did you gotta get that drunk...why?" Nick asked now fully crying now. "What did I do?" He was back to old habits of thinking everything was his fault.

Justin tried to think back to last night and he shook his head. "I didn't even drink too much to get this drunk to forget the night. I don't get it... and it's not your fault. You didn't do anything."

"Did you sleep with her?" Nick asked softly after almost two minutes of silence.

Justin shook his head. When he woke up that morning if didn't feel like he had but there was... evidence and he doesn't know what to think anymore. "I don't remember," he said in a whisper. "I can't remember ANYTHING from last night except just going for a dance with her... and getting dizzy...that's it."

Nick swallowed hard, he wanted so much to be mad at Justin but now he was actually feeling sympathetic and well...clingy. "I guess nothing we can do about it now." he whispered really wishing he was with Justin right now.

"Wait a minute," Justin said. "How... I mean, not that I have anything to hide from you... but how did you know?"

"I went down the street to that little market this morning, front page in one of those crazy tabloid magazines was you and that girl grinding it up on the dance floor. Then when I looked inside it showed you guys coming out of the club and you were all over her." Nick whispered, his stomach in knots the more he remembered it. "Then I came home and MTV was talking about it."

Justin's mouth dropped. "It's on TV?" He questioned, feeling queasy. He got up on shaky legs and headed off the set and down the block to where the newsstand was to see if one of those dumb tabloid magazines were there. "I really... Nick, I'm sorry."

"It's okay," Nick whispered but it was obvious he was still really worked up over the whole thing.

Once at the stand he didn't find any tabloid magazines but he did find the Canadian ones and on one of the newspapers was a picture of him and Catherine and Justin groaned. It really looked like he was all over her.

Nick really wanted to say 'I miss you...I need to be with you' but he didn't because he thought that would cause more problems. Instead he just stayed quiet waiting for Justin to say something.

"Nick," Justin said as he tossed the paper back down and headed back to the set. He didn't really need to read the articles; he already had an idea of what it was going to know. "I love you, okay? I need you to know that..."

"I know....I love you too." Nick whispered. He did know Justin loved him but what he really needed right now was to be in his arms to feel that Justin really did love him.

"This sucks that we have to be so far away," Justin said thinking that this would be something they would need to discuss in person not on the phone. "Maybe I'll come back this weekend... how does that sound?"

"I...I could come to you." Nick said softly. "I…I don't have to work until Monday." It was Thursday today so that would give him a few days and the weekend.

Justin nodded his head. "Okay," he said. "That sounds like a good idea."

Nick wasn't expecting that answer. "Okay...Umm I'll call the airport and then call you back when I find out my flight stuff."

"Okay," Justin said and remembered something. "I have to be back on set in a like two minutes... I might not answer... just leave a voice mail and I'll get back to you, okay?"

"Okay, I'll do that. If you don't get a hold of me it's probably because I'm already gone." Nick said as he got off the bed and headed for the closet. "Talk to you later...love you."

"Love you too," Justin said and hung up the call. He took in a deep breath and tried to get his heart to stop racing so fast. He quickly dialed his mother and left her a voicemail really wanting to talk to her and needing her comfort right about now.
He then went back to his work and didn't get a break until four hours later.

Nick had left a message on Justin's phone explaining he had caught a two o'clock flight LA time and would be arriving in Toronto around 10:30 that night their time.

He explained that he would get a cab to Justin's hotel and get a room for himself and to have Justin call him as soon as he could.

<><><><><><>

Justin had finished his scene at around eight that night and not wanting to talk to anyone and stay too long he quickly went back to his hotel room and called his mom back. They talked for a while until Lynn said she had to go. But Justin was feeling a lot better after talking to her and now all he needed was Nick to arrive and things would be okay, at least he hoped it would be.

At around 10:45 Nick was walking through the airport terminal with his cell phone to his ear, letting it ring and hoping that Justin would pick up.

Justin flipped his cell open since it was still in his hand and answered. "Hey," he greeted. "You're here?"

"Yeah...I'm just about to grab a cab." Nick said as he held a finger to his other ear to block out all the street noise. "I should be at the hotel in twenty minutes or so. You want me to get a room or wait until later?"

"Get a room and then come up to mine," Justin said before giving Nick his room number.

"Okay, see you in a few." Nick said as he hung up. Twenty minutes later he was at the hotel and walking up to the front desk. Quickly he ordered a room on the same floor as Justin; surprisingly. He didn't even bother to go to his room before he headed to Justin's knocking on the door.

Justin got up off the bed and headed over to the door. He smiled when he saw Nick standing on the other side. He stepped aside and let Nick walk in and put his things down before he pulled him in to a hug.

Nick hugged Justin so tightly that he was probably making it hard for him to breath, but then again Justin was doing the same to him. He never, ever wanted to let go.

Justin hugged him for a few more minutes, before moving so that they would head further in to the room and have a seat.

"Aaron's staying with Kel and Ed. He was actually happy to do it cuz Eddie said he was going to take him to a basketball game." Nick laughed before he ran a nervous hand through his hair.

"That's good," Justin said, "And Benny?"

"Went with him," Nick giggled. "Not sure if Kel was too happy about that, but she gave in."

Justin sighed and rested back on the bed, he was tired seeing that he hadn't eaten much of anything since, from what he can gather, yesterday afternoon.

"What time do you have to be at the set tomorrow?" Nick asked curiously as he leaned back, resting against Justin, lying his head on his shoulder.

"Early," Justin said. "Seven or something like that."

"Then you should go to bed." Nick whispered, having a feeling Justin was really tired anyway.

"It's only ten..." he looked at the time."Okay... almost eleven... and you're here..."

Nick smiled, "I'm glad you noticed that...but I don't want you really tired for tomorrow…but if you think you'll be okay then I'll let you stay up." he said teasingly.

Justin tugged on Nick so that he was up and looking down at him. "Stay with me?" He asked. After last night he was pretty much on edge about going to sleep, fear of waking up naked next to someone was not on his list of things for tomorrow.

Nick smiled down at Justin and nodded his head, "I wouldn't want to be any place else but here with you baby boy."

Justin smiled. "Good," he said as he shifted on the bed so that he was lying down the right way. He'd already changed into his clothes, not really thinking about the fact that he'd worn Nick's shirt, needing that comfort it brought him at nights. So there he was in Nick's shirt and sweat pants, crawling under the covers, waiting for Nick to join him.

Nick smiled as he opened his bag and pulled out a pair of PJ pants. He decided to go shirtless so climbed right into bed once the PJ pants were on.

Once Nick was under the covers with him, Justin scooted closer to him, wrapped his arm and leg around him, and got comfortable. He had been thinking a lot about what happened, thought about how he would have reacted if what happened were reversed; if it was Nick that he'd heard about doing something like that. He knew for a fact he would have blown his top off and probably tracked his ass down and gave him a piece of his mind... but Nick seemed to be as calm as a clam and that sorts bothered Justin a tad bit, made his feel uneasy.

Nick wasn't as calm as Justin thought he was, he was still upset but part of him kept thinking about how Justin said he hadn't been that drunk. If he hadn't been that drunk what happened then. "Can I ask you something...or do you want me to wait until tomorrow?"

"You can ask," Justin mumbled into Nick's chest from where he was resting his head there.

"You said you weren't drunk last night...then why when I called hours before you sounded smashed?" Nick asked this had been baffling him since after he talked to Justin.

"When you called I was like on my third or fourth glass of JD or something," Justin replied. "And if I remembered that... that right there tells you I wasn't smashed but almost there." he took in a deep breath. "The one thing I don't get is... I've drank a lot more than I did last night and never had I woken up not remembering what happened the night before."

"Do you think...it could have been more then just alcohol...in your drink?" Nick asked curiously, still trying hard not to think about what Justin might have done that he doesn't remember.

Justin frowned. "I don't know," he said. "I just don't know."

"Well...some people must think I'm nuts...but I forgive you...for what neither of us know." Nick said taking Justin's hand in his and giving each of his fingers soft kisses.

Justin looked up at Nick, his eyes showing disbelief and surprise. "Even I think you're nuts," he said, before lowering his head and nuzzling his face into Nick's neck and inhaling his scent. "But... thank you."

"I wish you wouldn't have gone out and drank at all last night. I wish you didn't end up at some weird woman's house. It makes me think if it's going to happen again. But I love you..." Nick said and then thought of something else. "Did she get you off?" he asked needing to know. He knew Justin would know because he doubt if he had done anything with her...in the state he was in cleaning himself off afterwards wouldn't have happened.

Justin closed his eyes and nodded his head. "I... when I woke up... there was... um," he frowned as he thought about it. He'd fallen asleep on his own cum... on that bed. It had been no where near her. "Yea, it looked like I had gotten off." And in a much smaller voice said, "She's in the movie with me, names Catherine."

"Lovely..." He then thought of something. "You could have gotten off yourself...in your sleep…"

"I could have," Justin nodded his head. 'Then why were we both naked?' he asked himself.

Nick ran his spare hand through his hair and sighed, "This is all just nuts...the next time you get off it's with ME." he said with a nod of his head, having the urge to do just that. He had this huge surge of jealously rush through him and the desire to claim Justin as his was going full force. He swallowed hard as he turned his head so he was looking right at Justin.

Justin chuckled. "Believe me when I say I wasn't planning on getting off with anyone who wasn't you," he said and when Nick looked at him like that he asked, "What?"

Nick couldn't hold back anymore and leaned forwards taking Justin's mouth in a passionate kiss, but it also had all the love he had to offer deep inside of it.

Justin moaned into the kiss, falling right into it. He kissed Nick back with everything he felt for him. It held an apology as well as passion of his love for him. He opened his mouth and let Nick's tongue explore every corner before he took Nick's tongue captive and sucked on it.

Nick moaned deeply into the kiss, his hand moving to the back of Justin's head and pulling it closer so he could kiss him even deeper. Keeping the kiss going just as passionately he moved she he was straddling one of Justin's legs, practically on top of him.

Justin brought the hand he had wrapped around Nick's chest down to his hip as they continued to kiss. Well, he wasn't as tired as he was before but rather quite turned on, feeling good that Nick forgives him and that Nick was actually there with him.

Nick was thanking God with all that was in him that his body was cooperating with him and he was also getting very turned on even by just a kiss. Well, it actually wasn't just a kiss. His tongue was having sex with Justin's tongue and making another part of his body wish it was happening to it.

Justin ran his hand up and down Nick's back before letting it slip under his boxers so that he could knead Nick's ass.

"Oh shit..." Nick groaned shivers going up and down his whole body at just the feeling of Justin's fingers on his ass. He pulled back looking down at Justin as he panted for breath.

Justin smiled up lazily at Nick. "I take it you like that," he said, leaning up so that he could lick at Nick's Adam's apple before moving to kiss down his neck.

"Mmm hmmm," Nick moaned as he let his hands move up under the front of Justin's shirt...or well HIS shirt. "Nice shirt..." he moaned out.

"Huh?" Justin asked before looking down and blushed. "Yea, it is. It's my favorite." He went back to kissing Nick's neck before he slowly began to suck on a spot, marking him.

Nick felt himself getting harder against Justin's thigh the more he sucked on him. "God baby..." he moaned as he attempted to get the shirt off of Justin with losing minimal contact.

Justin pulled back from his ministrations on Nick's neck just so Nick would be able to take his shirt off and when that was done he went back to what he was doing. "It feels good to feel you on me."

"It feels good to have you under me." Nick whispered in Justin's ear as he attempted to attack the lobe with his teeth while Justin still worked on his neck. All the while his hips beginning to have a mind of their own as he rocked gently and slowly against Justin's leg.

"Mhmm," Justin mumbled, still sucking, probably going to leave a really dark hickey there. He moaned as Nick's hips started to grind against his own, he bucked up a bit in turn.

"God...missed this," Nick mumbled as he continued to pay attention to Justin's ear, knowing it turned him on but wouldn't leave a mark either.

Justin moaned as he pulled back, done with the hickey, before leaning up to capture Nick's lips in a kiss. He let Nick straddle his waist before he slipped his hands further down Nick's boxers, kneading his ass muscles, his fingers teasingly slipping down the crevice.

Nick sucked in a deep breath when he felt Justin's finger slip down his crevice. That was uncharted territory for Justin's finger and boy did his body want it to finish where it was going. His own hands were playing with Justin's nipples teasingly as he devoured Justin's mouth.

The feeling of Nick's fingers teasing his nipples and the way Nick was kissing him sent waves of pleasure through him as his hips bucked up on their own, needing a tension relieve, his hands continued to do their exploring and kneading and rubbing on Nick's ass.

Smiling down at Justin, Nick took a hold of his dick and started stroking it, the whole time making sure he kept eye contact with the man he loved.

Justin sucked his lower lip between his teeth, at the feel of Nick's soft hand on his increasingly stiffening organ. He kept his eyes connected with the intense blue eyes of Nick's, wanting Nick to know everything that he felt that words couldn't and wouldn't begin to explain.

Nick moaned, just watching Justin's facial expressions were turning him on even more. His dick pulsed but he made no movement to touch it. He wanted to make Justin cum...Make Justin feel good. Make Justin forget that woman. All the while trying to not think about where Justin's hands were because it was making him want things he felt he couldn't have.

As Nick continued to stroke him Justin pulled his hands out of Nick's pants and brought them to Nick's thighs, letting them rub over the PJ clad muscle, firmly. He let his hand get closer to Nick's crotch only to move away back down to his knees and then repeat the action a few more times. Seeing the look on Nick's face Justin brought his hands up and rubbed them up Nick's stomach and chest, licking his lips as he did so, taking in the smooth skin under his fingers.

"God baby you're driving me crazy," Nick whispered as he licked his own lips trying to keep control of his body. He could feel the familiar tingle in his toes but thankfully it hadn't moved upward yet. He glanced down at Justin's cock that he was still stroking and moaned a little. He really loved that part of his boyfriend. Sure, that sounded like something he was SUPPOSED to think but no...He really loved it. Then again the more he thought about it the more he realized that he loved every part of the man under him.

A few moments later Justin stilled, left hand covering Nick's right hand that was on his cock. When Nick gave him the confused look Justin just smiled at him and indicated that Nick should let up a little bit... to kneel over him. Once that was done Justin slowly began to move his hips up, his hand over Nick's cock and in turn Nick's hand on his cock tightening. For a few seconds he couldn't help but watch in fascination just how both their hands were together, tight, on his cock, and they way it seemed to glide in their hold.

It was weird but Nick was getting turned on even more knowing he was still half dressed and Justin was now naked. Normally he didn't like be the dominant one but right now that was making him feel good. He needed Justin to know he was HIS and nobody else's, but he knew that soon he would want Justin to prove the same thing to him.

Justin could feel his orgasm build up and breathed out a warning to Nick. "I'm getting close," he said. "Closer..." A few more thrusts of his hips later Justin's cock spasmed as he came on his chest and on their hands. As he orgasm finished washing over him, Justin laid limp on the bed, panting before he let go of his hand over Nick's and let Nick softly and slowly continue to stroke him. "That felt great."

Nick laughed, "That's the point..." he teased playfully as he leaned over and gave Justin a rather soft loving kiss on the lips before moving back so he was sitting on Justin's hips. Once he felt Justin's cock was fully spent he let it go and then brought his hand up to lick, keeping his eyes on Justin's dazed ones.

Dazed eyes only remained for a few seconds... not even... as they watched Nick lick his cum of his hand. It was a good thing that he'd just cum and in turn couldn't get it up that soon or else that sight right there would have gotten him hard as a rock if not cumming again. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, his other hand gripping Nick's hips. He brought his eyes down to Nick's crotch and raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you would like for me to take care of?"

Nick smiled and almost innocently nodded his head. "If you want to..." he said not wanting Justin to think he had to.

"I want to." Justin nodded with a smile as he rubbed up Nick's thighs again, this time when he got to his crotch, he felt his touches be feathery-light. "Here..." He trailed off as he gripped Nick's waist and carefully flipped them over so that he the one straddling Nick's thighs while Nick was on his back, pinned to the bed with Justin holding his arms above his head as they kissed sensually.

Nick whimpered into the kiss, yes THIS is what he loved. He didn't mind being in the dominant position but this was where he always felt he belonged. He loved the feeling of a strong body on top of him, holding him to the bed in a possessive yet loving manner. He fell right into the kiss, making sure he met Justin's passion.

Justin laced his fingers with Nick's above their heads as the kiss continued before he moved the kisses down Nick's neck and shoulder. Pulling back a little he moved the kisses down Nick's chest over to his nipples, biting...sucking... and licking them and then continuing down further. He dipped his tongue into Nick's navel before licking around it. Nuzzling his face into the warmth of Nick's groin, taking in the masculine smell as well as the aroused state Nick was in, he looked up to meet Nick's eyes. He gave his boyfriend a smile, wanting and needing Nick to know that he loved him deeply. Letting go of Nick's hands he brought his own down and took of Nick's boxers, freeing his erection. Taking in a deep breath he grabbed the base of his cock before leaning up and mouthing the head of the cock.

Nick gasped, trying with all his might not to lift his hips up and hurt Justin. He moved his hands to rest on Justin's shoulders rubbing them gently as he licked his cock. He could feel the tingling in his toes moving up his legs but it wasn't reaching up any farther, just there giving him almost more pain then pleasure.

Justin let his tongue run over the slit before he sucked the whole head into his mouth, his tongue swirling around as he did so. All the while he was frantically trying to remember just how he himself would have liked a blowjob, and just how the people that had given him one... just what they did so that he could be able to that to Nick too and make him feel good. After all this is his second time. He didn't want to be as bad as his first attempt.

"God..." Nick moaned, even what Justin was doing now was driving him crazy. He loved Justin's tongue...anywhere on his body but this...this was the best. He tried hard to be patient to give Justin time to think and adjust, but he was beginning to lose patients quickly.

Justin pulled his mouth off the tip before tilting his head to the side and moving, licking the underside, down Nick's shaft. He got worried when he saw Nick scrunch up his face in annoyance? or something along those lines. He wasn't sure but his heart was beating rapidly and he thought he was doing something wrong. "Nick?" He asked stopping but not moving away from Nick's cock.

Nick looked at Justin and shook his head. "You're doing fine baby..." he assured him because he was. It felt so damn good but it was like his body was betraying him.

"Okay," Justin gave him a small smile before going back to giving his boyfriend the best blow job he could give him or at least tried to and a few minutes later wondered what the hell he was doing wrong. Nick was still hard as a rock, if not... harder and usually by this point Nick would have cum already. Justin couldn't help but frown. Thinking he would try something he began placing kisses back up Nick's stomach, chest, and neck... over to his lips, his hand still on Nick's cock, stroking him firm and slow.

By this point Nick knew something was totally wrong and it wasn't in Justin's performance or technique. Tears came to his eyes in both frustration and slight pain. "Justin...baby…stop please." he said knowing Justin would think the worst but he would make sure he understood.

Justin pulled back, confused, as he looked down into Nick's eyes, all movements stopping. "What?" He asked.

Nick moved one of his hands from Justin's shoulders to run through his own hair. "I can't cum...It's not your fault...please don't think that...I just can't cum."

"Okay..." Justin said slowly, scrunching his face. "Let me guess... another downfall to the side effects to your meds?" He asked. It was either that or Nick's cock was broken and Justin really hoped that it wasn't the latter.

Nick nodded his head and then looked away a little. He felt like Justin was going to be mad at him. It seemed like he was a let down in their relationship no matter what he did. First he was clingy and depressed, but now he wasn't those things anymore...but he could perform sexually...and that for him was a big deal and out of character.

Justin chuckled as he gently rested his weight on top of Nick's. "Phew... that's better than the second option I was thinking," he chuckled, kissing Nick's flushed cheek. "Hey... look at me."

Nick turned and looked at Justin, worry still settled in his blue eyes. He hated to disappoint Justin, and he wanted everything to be okay again...in every aspect of his life.

"I love you," Justin whispered. "Everything about you... even you're inflatable hard on."

That caused Nick to laugh and smile a little. "Yeah well *I* don't love it...it hurts like a son-of-a-bitch." he said with a very cute pout on his face.

Justin couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Did I mention just how adorable you are when you're all flustered with a pout on your face?"

"You mean I'm not adorable all the time?" Nick asked with a mock smug look on his face.

Justin wrinkled his nose. "Nope, you're not adorably all the time..." he trailed off."You're hot..."

Nick giggled, "Well we must fit together perfectly then because I think you're hot too...REALLY hot." he said, his mind going to dirty thoughts about other ways they could 'fit together'

"I know," Justin laughed as he settled beside Nick on his side, letting out a content sigh as he wrapped an arm around him. He chuckled to himself at the predicament that Nick was in at the moment, sure he felt sorry for his boyfriend and had an inkling about just how much pain or torture he might be in but... he had to admit it was pretty damn funny.

"I hurt," Nick said with another pout and an aggravated sigh. "I thought everything was fine...I was happy that I could even get it up. I haven't been able to for a few days now." he said forgetting that Justin didn't know that.

Justin raised his brows. "You were incompetent for a few days?" He asked, surprised. "Bu... wh...yo... how come you never said anything?"

"Cuz I was embarrassed to." Nick whispered blushing a little.

Justin took in a deep breath and let himself relax against Nick. "There's nothing that you need to be embarrassed about... I mean, you can tell me anything and you know I'll try to understand it to the best of my abilities."

Nick nodded his head, "I know...I'm sorry." he said as he snuggled up to Justin a little more. "I love you so much...you know that right?" he asked looking into Justin's eyes.

Justin smiled. "Yeah I do," he said, letting his eyes glance down at Nick's erection.

Nick noticed this and laughed a little. "He is NOT happy right now. He's protesting a lot."

"I bet," Justin agreed, taking in the purplish color. "Maybe it'll die down or something by the time you wake up?"

"Could you really see yourself relaxing enough to sleep if you were me?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow. He was in pain not to mention beyond sexually frustrated.

Justin shook his head as he stifled a yawn. "Not really," he said, thinking about it. "But I was just trying to make you feel better by giving you some options to hope for or something." He shrugged.

"Thanks baby," Nick said with a smile. He noticed Justin's yawn and giggled. "You sleep...I'll try too."

"A you sure?" Justin questioned, already closing his eyes and making himself comfortable.

Nick nodded his head as he kissed Justin's forehead lovingly. "Yes...you have to get up early, sleep baby boy."

"Love you," Justin mumbled before falling asleep under the covers with Nick in his arms.

"Love you too, gnight." Nick whispered before he rested his head down on Justin's chest and closed his own eyes to try and get some sleep.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

Nick walked out of the bathroom and groaned when he heard a knock on the door. Justin was still in the shower. He tied his robe tighter around his waist and walked to the door. Not thinking that maybe he shouldn't answer it. He opened the door to the same blonde woman that he had seen on TV with Justin the day before.

Catherine bit her lower lip, confused as she saw someone who was not Justin opening the door to Justin's room clad in only a bathrobe. She looked at the room number and made sure it was the right one before looking at Nick. "Uh... hi," she said. "Um... Justin, is ... this is his room right?"

Nick tried with all his might not to literally attack the woman in front of him. "Yeah...this is his room...he's in the shower." he said not realizing how it must look because he was obviously just in the shower too.

"Oh," Catherine said, her eyes widening with realization and then blushing profusely. She thought back to the night before, at the club. What Justin had been telling her about assuming things about him and relying on the tabloids or the media about his relationships. "OH!" She repeated, standing there rather uncomfortably not really knowing what to do now. Part of her really wanted to just run away with embarrassment but another part of her was a bit intrigued and curious about everything. "Um, could you tell him to please give me a call or come and find me...in the lobby or in the hotel restaurant… when he's out of the... um, shower?"

Nick wasn't sure he liked that idea; he didn't want Justin going to find this woman anywhere. "You can come in...He should be out in a second." he said wanting to be there too. He then noticed recognition in the woman's eyes and he all of a sudden felt sick to his stomach. He had just royally fucked up. He let Catherine into the room and once she was sitting down on the couch he ran into the bathroom where Justin was singing softly in the shower. 'Shit...shit...shit' he thought to himself not sure what in the world to say.

When Justin finished up his shower, he toweled himself dry and stepped out of the tub only to frown when he noticed Nick, looking rather pale, and frantically pacing back and forth. "Hey?" He asked unsurely, walking over to pick up his boxers and the new clothes for the day.

Nick was seriously having a panic attack, he felt like he was going to puke and he couldn't breath right. "You're going to kill me...you're going to kill me." he repeated a few times as he continued to pace the rather large bathroom. He was a sight that was for sure...hair still dripping wet, hard-on still evident and pacing.

Once Justin had put on his clothes while watching Nick mumble sentences about how he was going to kill him Justin finally got in the way of Nick's pacing, effectively bringing it to a halt. "Okay... calm down... deep breaths... why am I going to kill you?" He questioned, furrowed brows, eyes curious.

"Blonde woman...pictures...in room...knows about...us." Nick tried to say still having problems catching his breath as he hyperventilated.

Justin blinked as he pieced together the words that were tumbling out in intervals and pairs and when he finally got the picture he swore his heart couldn't take anymore surprises. He truly believed he's had just about enough to last him for the rest of his life and afterlife's that follow, if there is such a thing as an afterlife. "Catherine's out there and she ... knows about... US?" He all but squeaked out, his own heart rapidly beating, emotions conflicting within him, thoughts running rampant in his mind.

Tears sprang to Nick's eyes and he simply nodded his head, not able to say anything else. He wanted to throw up...he wanted to go back to bed and wake up again and have everything different. He knew for a fact Justin was going to be pissed at him...he had warned him already.

Justin didn't know what to do. One of the things he'd been worried about with having Nick here with him in Toronto actually happened, and now he must face it. Hopefully, she wasn't going to run to the tabloids and blab everything or sell him out… he also hoped she wasn't homophobic but rather open minded enough to be okay with it. Taking in a deep breath he walked out of the bathroom, leaving Nick in there, and slowly stepped into the room, spotting Catherine sitting on his bed, deep in thought. He decided to act normal, maybe then she wouldn't think something was wrong. "Hey, Morning…"

Nick flopped onto the floor, bringing his knees to his chest. He knew he was in SO much trouble.

Catherine looked up when she heard Justin's voice and gave him a small smile. "I...I just came to see if you wanted to have breakfast with me..." She said sounding NOTHING like she had that night in the club.

"Oh," Justin said giving her a small smile. "I would... but I already ordered breakfast through room service." He paused to look over at the phone. "You could have called or something, that way you didn't have to waste time coming all the way here..."

"I was already here at the hotel...so I just thought I would stop by...I didn't mean to..." Catherine sighed running a hand through her blonde hair. She didn't know what to say...should she mention that she knew something was going on between Justin and the blonde man who had opened the door.

Justin took in a deep breath when he noticed her uneasiness. He looked at her carefully for a few moments before speaking. "I see you met Nick," he said in a soft voice wondering what he was getting himself into. "And I'm sure he won't mind if you joined us for breakfast... I could just call down and ask them to add on your breakfast?"

"I wouldn't want to intrude..." Catherine said, feeling more then a little uneasy. "I don't think he likes me very much..."

Justin snuck a glance behind him at the bathroom, where he knew Nick was still in and then looked back at Catherine. "After the pictures of us being posted everywhere from the other night... sure," he said, frowning. Of course Nick didn't like her but Nick hopefully trusted him enough to know he wasn't least bit attracted to her and even after the pictures and his seemingly memory loss of the occurred events, Justin was sure nothing happened... he hoped.

"You could have just told me the truth..." Catherine whispered and then sighed; she knew SHE had lied too. "Just so you know....nothing happened."

"I told you that you were assuming things when you said that I was single..." He trailed off. "Say what?" Justin asked when what she said sunk in. Maybe he heard her wrong. His heart was pounding. Plus, he hoped Nick could be able to hear her.

"I said nothing....happened." Catherine repeated. "I don't really remember that night really well either, but I do know what it feels like to wake up after sex...I didn't feel like that." She didn't remember what she had done to Justin before they had both practically passed out.

Justin let out a breath of relief. "Good, I didn't feel like we did anything but then again... when I had asked and you said what you said and when I saw the stuff on the sheets... I don't know..." he trailed off rubbing his hands over his face. "I'll, uh... I'm gonna go check on my boyfriend." He mumbled out before he turned around and headed for the bathroom. "Be right back."

Opening the door he stepped inside and walked over to where Nick was seated, holding his knees to himself, and sniffling. "Nick..."

"I'm sorry....I'm sorry..." Nick mumbled over and over again, not looking up at Justin.

Justin kneeled in front of Nick and pulled him into his arms. "For what?" He asked in a soothing voice, hopefully Nick could catch the fact that he wasn't upset but just a little relieved.

Nick clung to Justin like a little boy would, still not realizing if Justin was holding him he wasn't mad at him. "Somebody found out...I made them find out...all my fault." he said, still having trouble catching his breath.

"Nick..." Justin rubbed Nick's back. "Baby, its okay... its fine," He didn't know it was fine but he was a little encouraged and reassured by the fact that Catherine didn't start yelling homophobic things at him or stormed out of the room like she was on fire. It had to be okay even though someone found out about him and Nick, but still.

Nick looked up at Justin his eyes bright red and wet and he was still hyperventilating. "I...I didn't...mean...too." He said, understanding Justin wasn't angry. But he still felt terrible and knew if something bad happened it would be all his fault.

Justin just nodded his head, bringing one hand up and wiping the tears from Nick's cheeks. "Just bad circumstances... I get that."

Not saying anything else, Nick snuggled into Justin's arms a little more and just tried to get himself back to normal, especially for his breathing.

A few moments later Justin whispered, "Nothing happened that night."

Nick pulled back so he was looking in Justin's eyes. "How do you know?"

"Well for one thing, she just told me," Justin said looking down in to Nick's eyes. "And second... I just... when I woke up that morning... even though it looked like I had gotten off... that feeling that I usually get post-sex wasn't there... but I didn't know for sure, the alcohol in my system could have messed me up or something."

Nick thought about this a little bit and then managed a small smile. "I'm glad...to hear that." he said, happy to know that Justin was still just his...nobody else had gotten in the way.

"Um... she, uh... well, I also told her that you were my boyfriend," Justin said letting out a deep breath.

Nick's eyes went wide, he had expected Justin to play it off and tell some story. "You told her...the truth?" he asked the shock evident in his voice.

Justin shrugged. "There's no point in denying it when it so obviously looked like what it was, ya know?" He said. "And If I made up some random story, I'm sure she would have saw right through it."

"Do you want me to go home early?" Nick asked still afraid that he had messed things up, and if it happened this once it might happen again.

Justin thought about it and shook his head. "No... But if you want to then you can but I don't want you to go home already. You still have today and half of tomorrow to relax..."

"I don't want to," Nick said clinging to Justin even tighter. "I want to spend more time with you before I gotta go."

"Me too," Justin answered. "But I gotta be at work soon... and it's an all day work thing today, so I'll probably see you for dinner..." He wondered if bringing Nick with him to the set would be a good idea.

Nick nodded his head and then tensed up when he heard a knock on the door. He was still associating that with what happened a few minutes ago.

Justin kissed the top of Nick's head. "That's probably room service with our breakfast," he said and slowly let go of Nick. "Come on, wash up and meet us out there, okay?" With that he walked out of the bathroom and answered the door, smiling as the food cart was rolled in. He tipped the boy and closed the door before rolling the cart all the way inside. He looked over at Catherine and gave her a small smile. "Well, breakfasts here."

"You sure it's okay that I stay..." Catherine asked, still seeming unsure. She then looked at the bathroom door. "Is he okay?" she asked concern in her voice.

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah, he is... just a little worried about stuff," he said avoiding eye contact with her. He busied himself with making sure everyone had even portions of something to eat.

"I'm not going to say anything, Justin." Catherine said after a few minutes, really wanting Justin to know that.

Justin looked at her and smiled. "You're... you're okay with this?" He asked, not that he really cared what she thought but still, it would be nice if there wouldn't be any tension between them. because if there was, people would notice and questions would be asked, questions that Justin could live without.

Catherine laughed, "Yeah I am...I am rather open minded about a lot of things."

Nick came walking out of the bathroom now dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. "Smells good..." he said trying to not sound as nervous and still shaken up as he was.

"Good to hear," Justin tells Catherine before looking over at Nick. "I'm not sure if you guys were properly introduced to each other," he cleared his throat before motioning to Catherine. "Nick, this is Catherine..." He looked over at Catherine and motioned at Nick. "And Cat... this is Nick."

Nick reached his hand out politely to Catherine, and gave her a small smile. "It's nice to meet you."

Catherine smiled back at Nick as they shook hands. "Likewise."

"Okay," Justin said handing them each a plate with food. "We have to be on set in like an hour... so eat up."

Nick ate his food slowly, his body was still trying to recover from the attack earlier so food wasn't something it really wanted right now. But he was trying to be polite and eat anyway.

Catherine watched both Justin and Nick as she ate. She didn't recognize Nick from anything in the business so wondered how Justin had managed to meet him.

<><><><><>

It was around six in the evening the next day when Justin walked back into his hotel room. He was a little down because around noon that day Nick had gone to the airport to go back home to LA, Justin missed him terribly and waited for Nick's phone call to tell him that he'd reached back home safely, except he'd never gotten one. On top of missing Nick, he was worried about him. The second he stepped into the room, he gasped at what he saw and in the silence the only other noise was the door closing shut behind him. Nick was still here.

Nick spun around and smiled at Justin. "Hey baby...hungry?" he asked like it was normal that he was still standing in the hotel room. He was lighting two tall candels and putting them in the middle of the small table in the room.

Justin wrinkled his forehead not sure if he was hallucinating or not. "Um... you're here," he said lamely, taking a few steps into the room, shivering a bit when some of the snowflakes that were on his jacket feel inside, onto his skin.

"Yeah I am..." Nick said as he walked to Justin and helped take his coat off and hung it up in the closet. "My flight got canceled so I thought I would surprise you." He whispered as he put his hands on Justin's shoulders, rubbing them and looking into his eyes.

"Oh, okay," Justin said, nodding his head before groaning as Nick worked on a particularly tense knot on his shoulder. "And yah... I'm hungry."

"Good, food and then a nice hot bath in the Jacuzzi tub and then I will give you a massage." Nick said with a smile as he led Justin to the table, helping him sit down. Once Justin was sitting, Nick took the lids off their dishes showing they had salmon, cooked vegetables and baked potatoes.

"Ooo," Justin practically drooled as his stomach grumbled. "Thanks baby looks delicious."

"Not like I cooked it," Nick giggled as he sat down in his own seat. "Eat up."

"Alrighty," Justin said as he picked up his fork and knife and began to eat his dinner. "I'm guessing you got snowed in...?"

Nick nodded as he swallowed a bite of his fish. "Yeah I did...got there on time and stuff and at first it was delayed but then at about 2pm they said it was canceled."

"Gotta love snow," Justin mumbled. "If I were in school or something, I'm sure I would have loved snow days where classes get cancelled and schools are closed..."

"Now you get to look at it like your Boyfriend gets to stay another day because of it." Nick said with a smile.

Justin smiled back. "Yeah, I was getting to that part," he chuckled. "Did they say for how long?" He asked mainly because the way the weather looks right now, the production and filming of Edison according to the director is going to be put on hold till the snow stops.

"I'm supposed to call the airport tomorrow morning and see whats going to happen. But they think by the way the weather is going things could be canceled for at least through tomorrow." Nick said as he reached over and grabbed the bottle of wine he had bought and poured both of them a glass.

Justin gave him a smirk. "That's almost the same thing that the director told us today," he informed Nick.

Nick's eyes went wide, "You mean you don't gotta go in tomorrow?"

Justin shook his head. "Nope," he said. "And I don't have to go in till the snow stops and clears..."

Nick couldn't help it he was practically bouncing in his seat. "Ohh this is so cool!"

Justin couldn't help with chuckle at Nick's enthusiasm. "Yeah... we could stay in or... um check out the sights or something?" He shrugged.

Nick raised an eyebrow at Justin and then glanced out the window. "You wana go out in THAT?"

Justin looked out the window. "If you wanted to... then yeah," he said, blushing a bit. He was practically saying that he would do anything that Nick wanted to do. He then reached his foot out and trailed it up Nick's leg. "You DID say you wanted to go sightseeing."

"I do...but we'll see. I mean if the weather is really bad even *I* don't wana go out in it." Nick giggled and then laughed at Justin's foot. "You're foot is wondering Mr. Timberlake." he said in a playful manner.

"Oh, is it now?" Justin played innocent. "Hmm, sorry... it's got a mind of its own."

Nick 'hmmed' but didn't tell Justin to stop as he picked his wine glass up and took a sip, the whole time keeping his eyes on Justin's.

Justin brought his foot all the way up so he could rest it between Nick's legs on the chair. He went back to eating his fish and vegetables.

Nick tried to stay calm and now think too much about where Justin's foot was. He wasn't going to let Justin have that much on him. "So how did the day go?" He asked trying to keep small talk as he ate.

"As usual," Justin said. "We all nearly froze ourselves to ice cubes out there but... it was fun. We blew up a car."

Nick made a face at that, "I don't understand the fun in that." he laughed.

"You get to watch things blow up, that's that fun in blowing things up," Justin laughed. "Plus, we did it in front of a green screen and watched the rest of the stuff happen on the monitor... it was pretty cool to watch how things get put together."

"That would have been cool," Nick agreed as he picked his napkin up off his lap, brushing against Justin's foot in the process.

Justin chuckled. "Hey that tickles," he said wiggling his toes to get the tickling feeling off.

Nick moaned, toe wiggling wasn't really a good thing. "I was trying to get my napkin." He said as he brought it up to his mouth.

"Sure you were," Justin said, reaching for his wine glass and taking a sip.

"I was," Nick said with a playful pout as he grabbed his own wine glass, leaning back in his chair to relax while he drank it. He was already finished with his food.

"Okay," Justin said as he slowly ate his vegetables before finishing off the baked potato.

Nick finished off his glass and sat up better so he could refill his glass. "Want more, baby boy?" he asked holding up the wine bottle.

"Just a little more," Justin said holding his glass out to Nick and waited till he poured half the glass before saying that's it.

Nick sat the bottle back down on the table, corking it because he knew the second glass he had was going to be it, especially with how badly he held his liquor.

"If you had any choice in what we did tomorrow, what would it be?" he asked curiously.

Justin thought about it. "Well, probably stay indoors where its nice and warm," he said. "There's a pool in the basement and like a game lounge on the first floor."

"That does sound nice," Nick agreed thinking that sounded better then going outside. Sure he didn't mind the cold but he didn't really like to go out in it all that much.

"You wanna do that?" Justin asked sitting back as he brought his other foot up and rested it on Nick's lap.

Nick nodded, "Yeah, we'll just chill around here and if we feel like it head down and check out those things." he said thinking a pure relaxation day with Justin sounded SO nice. He actually couldn't remember the last time that happened.

"Good," Justin said as he set his empty glass of wine back down and tilted his head back.

"How about that bath...and massage?" Nick suggested with a smile. He had felt how tense Justin was earlier, and wondered how long he had been like that.

"I'd like that very much," Justin answered as he brought his feet back down to the floor and stretched a bit before standing up.

Nick stood up too and started to pack up the plates and sat them on the room service tray. Once he sent it out into the hallway he walked over to Justin and took his hand. "Come on..."

"Coming," Justin said as he walked with Nick into the bathroom. Once inside, he let go of Nick's hand and started to take his clothes off while Nick got the Jacuzzi ready.

"I never thought in a million years I would be staying in hotels with these things." Nick laughed as he got the Jacuzzi running before he started taking his own clothes off.

"Yeah well," Justin said once he was completely in the nude. "Anything's possible...I suppose."

"Yeah never thought I would be standing here naked with Justin Timberlake either," Nick giggled as he made a point in looking Justin up and down.

Justin made a face as Nick checked him out. "Enjoying the view?" He asked as he took Nick's hand and tugged him into the Jacuzzi with him.

"Actually....yes," Nick said with a smirk as they both climbed into the Jacuzzi. Nick sat down first and then pulled Justin down between his legs.

Justin sat down and leaned back against Nick's chest, letting out a content sigh. "This feels so good."

"Yeah it does," Nick agreed as he pulled Justin back against him, his hands resting on his stomach.

Justin threaded his fingers with Nick's that were on his stomach. A few moments later he brought their intertwined hands up and kissed Nick's palm.

"I love you," Nick whispered as he leaned down and started placing kissed on the back of Justin's neck.

Justin bent his head down to give Nick more room to kiss. "When am I gonna get my massage?" He groaned out.

"I was planning on doing that in bed after we got out of here, but I can do it now." Nick whispered in Justin's ear.

"Can I get it both times?" Justin asked.

"You're greedy," Nick teased before giving his ear a playful lick and pulling back. "But I love you so that can be arranged."

Justin's body shivered when Nick licked his ear. "Awesome," he said and opened his eyes. He then figured this isn't a good place to get a massage. "But I think I can come up another way to relax some." He twisted around in Nick's arms, leaning forward so that he could kiss up Nick's neck.

"I thought I was supposed to be doing this stuff to you..." Nick moaned when Justin started kissing up his neck.

"Yeah but I wanna do this to you now," Justin told him between kisses. "You can do whatever you want later."

"That could get interesting," Nick said with a smirk, just messing around with Justin. He would never do anything that Justin didn't want him to do.

Justin smiled as he brought his kisses back down Nick's neck to his chest, to his nipples, "Probably."

Nick gasped and groaned when Justin's mouth landed on his nipple. They had been doing a lot of this fooling around stuff lately, and he just realized that Justin had never gotten off the night before. He was beginning to wonder if it took more then just this fooling around stuff to cut it anymore. Even if that was the case, this sure as hell felt good.

Justin placed his hands on Nick's hips, his thumbs caressing the soft skin of his pelvis, his mouth still latched onto Nick's nipple.

The more Justin sucked, the more movement there was below, and he was sure Justin could tell too. "God baby..." he groaned.

Justin moved to the other nipple, giving it the same attention he had to the other one. He brought his left hand over to Nick's cock and began to stroke him slowly. A flash of when they were back in Memphis, in Justin's Jacuzzi passed through his mind.

Nick was remembering that time too, and then thought of the blow job in the shower. He was beginning to wonder if all their 'sexual 'firsts' was going to have something to do with water.

Justin pulled back a few moments later and gestured for Nick to sit up on the edge of the Jacuzzi. He kneeled between Nick's legs, his hand still stroking him.

Nick did as Justin said and smiled at him. Part of him wanted to get off like this but he was also having the same problem Justin was having, even though he didn't know Justin was having it.

After a few more strokes of Nick's cock, Justin placed his hands on Nick's thighs, the tip of his cock going into his mouth. He's been getting practice with this, lately.

"You're really...beginning...to like that." Nick teased in between moans. He liked Justin's mouth on him...but he didn't know if it was going to work as well as he wanted it to.

Justin just hummed around Nick's cock. It wasn't that he licked to suck cock it was more like he wanted to be good at it, wanted to make Nick feel what Nick made him feel.

Nick moaned deep in his throat, feeling himself grow harder in Justin's mouth. Justin was getting REALLY good at this.

Taking in a deep breath Justin relaxed his throat some and stretched his jaw as much as he could and slowly moved down Nick's cock, taking him in and fighting his gag reflexes. Before he could only taken in half but now he was aiming for more.

Nick's eyes went wide, only the biggest experts at the crazy clubs he went to when he was younger could take this much of him in. "Baby...don't...hurt..." he swallowed..."Yourself."

Justin squeezed Nick's thigh to say that he knows but he wanted to do it anyways. "He'd gotten about three-fourth of the way down before his jaw started to ache and knew that that was it for him until later. He pulled back a bit before going down on him again to the same level he was at before.

Nick's eyes rolled back in his head and he accidentally banged his head against the side of the tub. Justin's mouth was lethal and he could feel the familiar tingling starting in the pit of his stomach.

Justin winced when he heard Nick's head against the tub. That couldn't have possibly felt good but he didn't stop what he was doing mainly because Nick's hands were in his hair, holding him there.

"Oh fuck..." Nick gasped when he felt the sensation coming closer and closer to his dick, he was getting so close. "Justin...c...close." He managed to get out before he was cuming.

Surprising himself, Justin actually kept his mouth over Nick's and... Swallowed... as best as he could, trying not to think too much of the taste.

"Christ..." Nick panted as he tried to get his breathing back to normal and not fall off the edge of the tub.

When Nick was limp in his mouth Justin let it drop out with a pop sound before sitting back on his heels, wiping whatever cum leaked out of his mouth with the back of his hand, panting.

Nick looked down at Justin and smiled; He then leaned down and took Justin's mouth in his for a heated kiss, tasting himself in the kiss.

Justin moaned into the kiss, his hands going to the back of Nick's neck, holding him in place.

Nick moved off of the side of the tub so he was back in the hot water again and then climbed so he was straddling Justin's lap. In this position he found himself with Justin's cock positioned perfectly against his ass and kissed him even more passionately.

Justin felt himself twitch at the feel of himself being nestled between Nick's ass cheeks, at the pressure he felt on his cock. He held Nick close to him, kissing him back with just as much passion Nick was kissing him with, if not more.

Nick's hands were in Justin's hair; his hips wiggling to get in a more comfortable position, but ended up getting the tip of Justin positioned almost perfectly and let out a moan that he couldn't keep inside as he kissed Justin with so much passion he was afraid he might pass out. He had to try and ignore where Justin was positioned so nicely, but it was getting hard to not just lift up a little and then slide back down.

Justin's heartbeat began to increase before he pulled back to catch his breath. Resting his head against Nick's he closed his eyes before moving his hips just a little and moaning at how good that felt. "We should... get out before we get all pruny."

"Y...yeah," Nick whispered trying to catch his own breath. His body was screaming at him that he was almost in pain and it wasn't because he was extremely hard again. "Y...you need that massage I...I promise you." he said trying to blink his eyes but it was almost like the lust and desire he was feeling was clouding his mind.

"Yea," Justin agreed but didn't make a move to get up. It wasn't until a few more minutes later that he did move. "Okay... we're gonna get up now."

Nick nodded and got up, but he felt weird...as if something was missing. He grabbed towels for both of them and handed Justin his, his eyes not able to not watch Justin intently as he wrapped it around his waist.

Once Justin dried off and wrapped the towel around his waist, he unplugged the drain to the Jacuzzi and followed Nick into the bedroom. Nick was quiet and Justin got curious. "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah..." Nick answered and gave Justin a smile as he walked over to the bed. "Come on...massage time."

Justin crawled on to the bed and made himself comfortable in the middle on his stomach. He moaned when Nick crawled on top of him and straddled the back of his thighs, hands immediately on his shoulders.

"God baby you're so tense," Nick said as he felt all the knots in Justin's shoulder muscles. "This is not good if you're getting this tense baby boy."

"You should have seen me when it was all about NSYNC... when we started off... all the work we used to do, the training, and practices...my back was like a stiff board by the time I got home or heck even to bed." Justin shrugged, "We ended up hiring masseuses."

"Yes well now you don't need to hire a masseuse cuz you've got little ol' me." Nick said with a smile a she worked his hands down to the middle of Justin's back.

"Mhmm," Justin agreed before letting out a moan as Nick continued to work on his back. He could feel himself relaxing, feel himself get sleepy.

Nick let out a small sigh when he heard Justin's breathing beginning to even out too much which normally meant sleep. It was only eight o'clock and he didn't really want to go to sleep this early. But if Justin was tired then he would sleep.

A few more minutes later Justin was completely relaxed, he felt as though he were melting right into the mattress. He forced himself to wake up some before he wiggled his way a bit and turned around so that he was on his back, looking up at Nick with a small smile. "Thanks," he said.

"Welcome," Nick said smiling down at Justin. He was still feeling the weird tingly feeling in the pit of his stomach that he was feeling at the end of their time in the tub. His insides telling him that something was missing...that it needed something. He licked his lips, "Did you wana go to bed?"

Justin shook his head slowly. "Not really," he said. Despite the nice relaxing massage Nick had given him, he was still hard but not as much as he was before but he still was.

"Okay..." Nick said looking down at Justin and smiled a little when he noticed the lusty look from the bathroom was still in Justin's eyes and he could still feel Justin hard against his butt from where he was straddling him.

"What's that smile for?" Justin asked, tilting his head to the side, his hands resting on Nick's hips unconsciously pressing down a bit, to put the pressure on his cock that Nick was almost sitting on top of.

"Just cuz I wanted to," Nick said as he subconsciously moved so he was over Justin's cock more. The towel he was wearing opening up and falling down.

Justin bit his lower lip as he watched Nick moving on top of him. The sight was almost too much as he was fully turned on now. The urge to feel how tight Nick would be around his cock was too much and he couldn't help it as his hips bucked up a bit.

Nick whimpered, they were positioned exactly right once again and Nick felt his whole body heat up to almost dangerous levels. "Justin...I..."

Justin watched him, saw him getting turned on again. "You what?" He asked, in a throaty voice, his hips bucking up and rubbing against Nick's ass.

Nick was scared to finish what he was going to say because he knew he was going to be turned down again. "N...nothing..." he whispered.

Justin didn't understand the disappointment that ran through him when Nick decided not to tell him. It was almost like he was hoping for something. "Okay..."

Nick looked down, not meeting Justin's eyes for a second. The salience was eating him up like always so of course he started to talk. "People told me I always set myself up for disappointment..." he whispered hoping Justin would get what he had wanted to say...but hadn't.

"And why would they say that?" Justin asked, confused. "And what are you setting yourself up for right now that would cause you to be disappointed?"

"I...I need you...so bad right now…I..." Nick ran a hand through his hair; he had never felt like this before in his life. "And...You're not ready and...I..."

Justin closed his eyes when Nick uttered those words. He took in a deep breath and opened them again. "Nick... I," he stopped when he realized he didn't know what to say. A few more moments later he decided on the truth. "I've been... thinking about it... well more like... my body's wanted it. I'm just..." He blushed, mumbling under his breath, "I'm scared and really have no idea what I'm doing." Sure he knew what to do but still.

Nick gave Justin a small smile, "Baby...if you love me like you say you do then you've got nothing to be scared of...I'm not going to leave you and as for knowing what to do, it's all in here." he said leaning down and kissing Justin's chest right over his heart.

Justin licked his lips and stared at Nick for a few minutes. "I don't have a condom on me."

Nick never thought he would make it to the point to hear Justin say those words...because that meant it was going to happen. Right now he knew he was going to have to give Aaron a really big hug. "I do," he said and then laughed when Justin gave him a curious look. "My little brother, he insisted I bring some when I was running off to meet you. Something about make-up sex being the best." he said rolling his eyes.

Justin couldn't help but laugh at that. "I really gotta meet him person," he said, shaking his head.

"You will since he's living in our house." Nick giggled, his fingers subconsciously circling one of Justin's nipples.

Justin's stomach muscled contracted even thought Nick's fingers were on his nipples. It was like a pleasure wave was being sent from where Nick's fingers were circling his nipples to the rest of his body. "Yeah, I know," he said. "And just so you know... it wouldn't exactly be make-up sex..."

"I know...we have nothing to be making up for." Nick whispered looking down at Justin so much love in his eyes. "And it wouldn't be just sex either..." he pointed out. Wondering if THAT was the part that scared Justin the most...that this would be making love not having sex or fucking.

"Yeah, yeah I know," Justin said looking down at Nick's chest before meeting his eyes again. He shot him a seductive grin.

"Ut oh...scary look..." Nick laughed only teasing Justin. "What is THAT look for...hmm?"

Justin rolled his eyes. "I hope you don't plan for us staying in this position all night dancing around the topic of us getting intimate instead of actually getting intimate..." He bucked his hips up to remind Nick that he was still hard and knew for a fact that Nick was semi-hard as well.

Nick groaned, grinding down against Justin from where he was still positioned to the point that it just took him rising up and moving back down. "I should get the condom..."

"Yeah, that could be a good thing to do," Justin agreed although he didn't want Nick to get up off of him.

"I gotta get up," Nick giggled when Justin was still holding onto his hips.

Justin groaned as he reluctantly let go of Nick's hips before propping himself up on his elbows. His heart was beating rapidly as it really sunk in just what they were about to do but no where inside of himself did he feel that he was going to regret it or that he was scared. He found himself actually wanting it, wanting to be a part of Nick on a whole new level.

Nick climbed off the bed and headed to where his bag was next to the closet. After searching around for a minute he came up with a box of condoms and carried it back to the bed. "I'm not sure I want to know why my brother had these."

"Probably the same reason any 16 year old would be doing with them," Justin answered. "I'm just happy he actually has them... shows you he's smart enough to use protection."

"Yeah thank god," Nick said as he sat the box on the bed next to them before climbing on top of Justin again.

Justin let himself fall back, his hands resting on Nick's arms. "Love you Nicky," he said with a smile.

"Love you too baby," Nick whispered before he leaned down and pressed an almost gentle kiss to his lips.

Justin kissed back before heating up the kiss more. He let his tongue slip into Nick's mouth and explore every corner.

Nick moaned, his hands finding their way into Justin's hair as he kissed him back with just as much passion.

Justin rubbed his hands down Nick's back... going to grab his ass. Much like he had the last time he let his fingers run down Nick's crack, finger lightly teasing over his pucker before going back to kneading his ass.

Nick was trembling in Justin's arms. His ass had always been sensitive but knowing what they were going to do was making it all the more intense.

Justin blindly reached next to him, to where he knew Nick placed the box of condom, without breaking the kiss. He brought the box over Nick's back so both his hands could work on opening the box and getting one packet of out it before dropping the box and the contents next to him.

A minute later, Nick had to pull back from the kiss needing to catch his breath. Not wanting to break any contact he started kissing down Justin's neck, making sure to play close attention to his Adams apple.

Justin took lungful out oxygen through his mouth as they kiss broke off. It took all his strength to concentrate on opening the packet of condom and when he finally did he relaxed against the bed, letting Nick kiss away on his heated body. Every touch was sensitized and Justin was tingling all over the place, and mostly where Nick's skin touched his.

Nick made sure to kiss all over Justin's neck so not one place left a mark. He smirked when he felt Justin twitch and groan deep in his throat. "Somebody is horny..." he whispered in his ear.

"I can think of two somebody's," Justin managed to get out; he could feel Nick's hardness pressed against his lower stomach.

"Perfect," Nick whispered before he pulled back so he was raised up on his arms looking down at Justin. Then in one quick moment he moved so he was lying on his back next to Justin, hoping Justin would move on top of him.

Justin took the hint and pushed himself up before rolling over on top of Nick, giving his neck and Adam's apple the same attention Nick had given his.

Nick turned his head to the side giving Justin better access to his neck. He still had a slight mark on the side of his neck from a few nights ago and wouldn't mind having another one.

Justin brought his mouth to Nick's neck and licked at the fading hickey before trying his best to give him the same one over the same exact spot. With the hand that didn't have the condom, Justin reached between them and palmed at Nick's erection before grabbing the both of theirs and rubbing them together.

Moaning deeply, Nick ran his fingers through Justin's hair. "Love you...love you so much," he whispered.

"I love you too Nick," Justin managed between sucking on Nick's skin before pulling back completely. Using his knees he gently nudged Nick's thighs apart before settling down between them. "We got lube?" He asked as that thought just occurred to him.

"I think there should be those little travel lotion things in the night stand." Nick said as he swallowed hard, this really was going to happen.

"Really?" Justin asked, sounding surprised. He never really looks through the drawers to know what's in them. Leaning over he pulled out the top drawer and didn't see it. He tried the middle drawer and nothing in it. He finally found in the last drawer, go figure, before he straightened his posture. "Okay, got it..." He opened the small bottle and coated his middle finger.

Nick's stomach muscles contracted, his dick twitching at just the thought of what was going to happen next. "You're gunna need to stretch Me." he said even though it seemed Justin already knew that. "Been a while..."

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah," he said as he brought his finger down to Nick's entrance. He took his time in doing so, getting his bearings together before actually pressing into Nick's pucker. He bit his lower lip at how tight Nick was around his finger and groaned as he imagined how it would feel around his cock, his cock twitched, seemingly liking the idea his mind was having.

Nick moaned too, the only finger that had been inside of him in the past few years had been his own and dear god did that feel good. "M....more..." he practically begged. He could handle more then this.

Justin pulled back his finger, coated two of them with lotion before inserting them in slowly. If Nick had been tight around one finger, it was nothing compared to hot tight he was around two of Justin's fingers. He moved in him slowly and licked his lips when a few moments later Nick began to move his hips back on his fingers.

When Justin's fingers hit his prostate, Nick cried out in please. "There...again..."

Justin obliged as he aimed for that spot again. He smiled to himself when he saw that look of pleasure on Nick's face, it made his heart swell.

Nick was breathing hard by this point, his dick hard and pointing up to his stomach. "You...need you." he managed to get out, looking up at Justin with love and desired filled eyes. "L...love me."

Justin didn't have to be told twice. He fingered Nick a few more times before pulling them out. He rolled the condom onto his dick and added some lube on it just to make it easier before positioning himself at Nick's entrance. His stomach was in knots as the situation slammed into him. They were really about to do this and he couldn't help but feel giddy and anxious but more so, there was an overwhelming sense of love that filled him as he looked down at Nick. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought he would fall for someone so soon and so quick even though it felt like they've known each other for ages. But here he was, already fallen. Taking in a deep breath he grasped Nick's hips and slowly, without breaking eye contact with Nick, he pushed himself inside...and damn, Justin was way above cloud 9.

Nick let out a gasp, not of pain but just of the overwhelming feeling of being filled in the most intimate way possible. Tears filled his eyes because of all the emotions running through his head and the intense sensation of having Justin finally in him. Once Justin was all the way inside, Nick smiled at him. "You're so beautiful..." he whispered thinking he had never seen Justin look so beautiful because he was radiating love like a beam of light.

Justin reached a hand up and wiped the tears strolling down Nick's cheeks away. "You are too," he replied, leaning down and pressing soft kisses to Nick's cheeks and then his lips. "You're so tight and damn it feels good, Nicky..."

"Move...I wanna feel you move in me." Nick whispered, thrusting his hips up a little, smirking at the look of pleasure that washed over Justin's face.

Justin slowly moved so that he was pulling out of Nick, well almost. When only his head was inside he slowly moved back in. Once Nick was moving back, meeting his movements, Justin picked up his pace just a little so that it was still classified lovemaking.

Nick kept up with Justin's slow pace for a good few minutes before his body was screaming for more. "Baby...harder...know you love me." he said knowing Justin was holding out since lovemaking was supposed to be slow. But that wasn't true even hard could be done in love and he knew anything with Justin would be done in love.

Justin almost sighed out loud in relief as he rested his hands on either side of Nick's waist, leveraging himself as he quickened his thrusts in and out of Nick. He dropped his head down to Nick's neck and kissed him on the hickey before crashing his lips to Nick's.

"Oh...yeah..." Nick gasped out, his hips automatically following Justin's and his tongue fighting with Justin's as they kissed, their tongues and hips moving simultaneously. Nick had imagined this a million times but it was NOTHING like this in his dreams.

Justin sucked on Nick's tongue when Nick had stuck it in his mouth. And while doing that he continued to thrust into him, loving the little mewling and grunting noises that escaped Nick. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Justin was aware of Nick's cock nestled between them and he reached one hand down, stroking him in time to his thrusts.

Nick let out a gasp/moan when Justin started stroking. Feeling Justin hitting his spot over and over again, and then him stroking him too was almost too much for him to be able to handle. "C...Close," he groaned. Wanting Justin there with him he bad sure to clamp his muscles on Justin's dick.

"Oh oh," Justin grunted out when he pulled back from the kiss to straighten up his upper body, his head thrown back. He neither slowed down his thrusts or his strokes. In fact he increased them when he felt the pressure building up in his balls and making its way up his cock. "I'm... clo...close too."

"Cum baby...cum for me," Nick whispered feeling his balls tighten and he knew it was only a matter or seconds before he was cuming. "FUCK BABY!!" he cried out as he shot his load between their bodies and in Justin's hand, his muscle clamping down on Justin again.

"Oh Gawd," Justin drawled out when Nick's muscles clamped on him. Thrusting into his a few more time and Justin was over the edge as he emptied himself into the condom, Nick's name coming out of his mouth.

Nick pulled Justin down on top of him, holding him close, head resting on his chest as they both came down from their orgasms...Justin still deep inside of him.

Justin was panting as he buried his face in Nick's neck, breathing in the scent of his post orgasm boyfriend. "That was amazing," he breathed out.

"Yeah it was," Nick agreed holding Justin tightly against him, not ever wanting to let him go.

Justin lay, spent and sated on top of Nick just relishing in the moment. He could hear Nick's heart beat even out as well as his breathing, and that relaxed him further... the up and down motions of Nick's chest as he breathed in and breathed out rocking him into an almost there sleep state.

"W...we're gunna wanna clean up before we pass out." Nick mumbled against Justin's head before he placed a tender kiss there.

"Mhmm," Justin mumbled but he was feeling very blissfully lazy at the moments and didn't want to move for a while. But knew he had to, being buried inside of Nick with the condom still on wasn't really an ideal situation to fall asleep to or on. With a groan he rolled over onto his back besides Nick, in the process pulling out of Nick, making a face when he rolled right on the box of condoms.

Nick groaned at the loss of Justin and then giggled when he heard the box smoosh. "That was graceful baby," he teased.

Justin smacked Nick's hips playfully, groaning as he sat up and gathered the condoms and placed it in the box before dumping it on the nightstand.

Nick just giggled more, thinking an aggravated Justin was just so cute. "You're too cute baby boy."

"Yeah, yeah," Justin pouted. "Now I'm not as relaxed as I was a few moments ago.... stupid box..." He reached down and carefully took the condom on. He grabbed the box of tissues from the nightstand and wrapped it around the condom, throwing it in the garbage can.

Once that was done, Nick pulled Justin back down to hold him in his arms. "You can get relaxed again."

"We've got drying sticky mess on our stomachs," Justin pointed out at his and Nick's stomachs. "And my hand."

"Yeah what was it you said back around Christmas...two dicks twice the mess." Nick chuckled and then thought of something. "Wait...this would all be mine...yours was contained." he said laughing more.

Justin was just about to inform Nick of the latter part but Nick already mentioned it so he just stuck to chuckling and nodding his head. "Yeah... big boy... big mess."

Nick blushed at that a little for some reason. "Yeah well it's your fault I made the big mess."

"Sure, go ahead and blame it on the blo-... I mean, the one with curly hair," Justin said shaking his head all of a sudden feeling a little self-conscious. Sure he had a nice sized package but no doubt he wasn't as nearly as big as Nick was and the more he thought about it the more he realized Nick probably had guys with bigger if not the same size as Nick himself had. Justin buried his face in the crook of Nick's neck, really not wanting his mind to think about that right now.

But like always Nick picked up on the negative energy surrounding Justin. "Baby...what's wrong?" he asked softly, praying that this wasn't Justin regretting what happened.

"Nothing," Justin said as he pressed a kiss to Nick's neck. And it would be even more embarrassing having to talk about that with his boyfriend.

"Okay," Nick said dropping it as he pulled Justin tighter in his arms.

Justin let out a content sigh as he grabbed the sheets and pulled them up over them.

"I thought you wanted to get cleaned up." Nick whispered when he felt Justin pulled the blankets up on them.

"Eh," Justin said. "It's already practically dried on us anyways..."

Nick giggled, "We'll just have to give each other a god scrubbing in the morning."

"Yeah, morning," Justin stifled a yawn as he nuzzled his face back into Nick's neck and got comfortable. "Good night Baby."

"Night baby boy...love you." Nick whispered snuggling in a little more to get comfortable.

"Love you too," Justin said before letting the sleep take him over.

Nick yawned and closed his eyes. It took him a minute but soon sleep came to him and dreams of the amazing night he had came to him.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

Nick opened one eye when light started streaming in the window. He glanced at the clock noticing it was only a little after eight...too early to really get up when it was a day to just lounge around. Groaning, he pulled out of Justin's arms and headed over to the window to pull the blinds closed.

Justin made a face in his sleep when the warmth beside him disappeared. Almost pouting, he tried reaching for it even in his sleep only to groan when nothing but cool air was caught in his grasp. Pulling the sheets over him he buried himself further under the sheets and blanket, not wanting anymore cool air to come into the warmth beneath the blanket.

Once the blinds were pulled Nick practically ran back to the bed and climbed inside, shivering. It was freezing out in the room but felt nice under the covers. It was his turn to pout when Justin was in the wrong position for snuggling next to. Sighing he snuggled as close to him as he could, wanting to go back to sleep...not realizing that his now cold feet were pressed against Justin's warm skin.

Justin hissed and tried to roll away from the whatever the really cold thing was that was touching him, gently kicking it away from his legs.

Nick winced when Justin kicked him in the shin and it wasn't very soft either. "Ouch...what that for," he mumbled still semi half asleep himself.

Justin was jostled from his sleep when he'd heard Nick's voice. Opening one eye and then the other he threw back the blanket and sheets and blinked at Nick, frowning.

"You kicked me," Nick whined in a sleepy voice, also blinking his eyes at Justin.

"I..." Justin stopped and cleared his throat before trying again. "I did?" He asked, still half asleep.

Nick nodded his head, "You did," he said as he reached down to rub at his sore shin.

"Sorry," Justin said, really meaning it. He reached down and tried to appease the pain by rubbing Nick's shin. "You're cold..."

"It's cold out there," Nick said pointing out to the rest of the room.

"But you're in here... so you shouldn't be cold," Justin said pointing at the bed.

"I had to get out...the blinds were open and it was too sunny in here." Nick explained.

Justin groaned and reached across Nick from the little remote control on the nightstand. "Everything here is remote controlled..." He pointed the remote to the thermostat and increased the temperature of the room a more degrees.

Nick pouted a little, "You mean I DIDN'T have to get out of bed...I just had to push that?"

Justin pushed the button for the curtains and the blinds and watched as they opened. He then pushed the button again and watched them close. "Yup," he answered as he set the remote control back down on the nightstand and burrowed under the blankets again, letting out a content sigh.

"That is so not cool," Nick said pointing again. "I got out and got cold for no reason at all."

Justin pulled the blanket over his face and stifled his laughter but that probably was unnecessary since his body was shaking with the suppressed giggles, shaking the bed in turn.

Nick pulled the blanket over his head too so he could glare at Justin playfully. "You think this is funny?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "You think it's cool that I got all cold?"

Justin kept a straight face and looked at Nick as innocent as possible but failing miserably. "Nope," he said. "Not funny... it's hilarious especially the look on your face but..." he paused so he could turn on his side and tug Nick closer."I guess I'd have to get your warmed up... huh?"

Nick let out a small moan when he was pulled in against Justin. "Yes...since it is your fault for not telling me about the remote."

Justin just snorted as he wrapped and then tucked the blanket around them before wrapping his arms around Nick's torso, holding him close to his naked body, his legs intertwining with Nick's that weren't as cold as they had been before.

Nick snuggled in and let out a content sigh, "This is much warmer." he whispered from where his head was tucked under Justin's chin.

"Mhmm," Justin agreed, kissing the top of Nick's head before relaxing. A few moments later... "Weren't you supposed to call the airport today and see what's gong on with everything?"

"Mmmhmm," Nick answered, almost half asleep again because he was so comfortable.

Another few moments later, "Shouldn't you call now and get it over with just so you know what the deal is?" Justin asked.

Nick shook his head against Justin's chest; he was too comfortable to think about moving and getting the phone to call.

"Hmm, suit yourself," Justin mumbled out, letting out a deep breath. He tightened his hold on Nick and went off to sleep.

The next time Nick woke up it was because his bladder was screaming at him." Don't wana," he mumbled practically to himself, trying to tell his body to forget the idea so he could continue to sleep and stay nice and snuggly warm.

Justin raised his eyebrow when he heard Nick speak. He'd been up for about fifteen minutes now, just watching Nick sleep and thinking about random things. His hands idly traced a path up and down Nick's arms before he leaned over and nuzzled his nose with Nick's.

Nick opened his eyes and gave Justin a small sleepy smile. "What time is it...now?"

"Ten forty," Justin replied in a whisper, smiling at the way Nick looked at him.

"Mmm," Nick mumbled as he turned onto his back and then stretched his large frame out along with a huge yawn.

Justin couldn't resist, really. He reached over and traced his hand from side of Nick's body - under his arm, over his ribs, and down to his hips - intended to cause a tickling sensation. He chuckled when Nick gasped and tried to wiggle his way away from him which really made Justin wanna tickle him more.

"No tickling," Nick said playfully glaring at Justin. He then groaned knowing he had to get up. "I gotta pee," he said in an explanation as to why he sat up.

Justin immediately stopped, relaxing back down again. "Okay," he replied, watching Nick get up and head into the bathroom.

Nick headed into the bathroom, did what he had to do and a few minutes later came walking back out into the bedroom a smile on his face when he saw Justin lying there, looking so cute. It was then what happened the night before flashed in his mind and he couldn't help the huge smile that spread across his face.

"What?" Justin asked as he watched Nick walking back towards the bed, with a huge smile on his face. He smiled, too, it was quite contagious... with Nick glowing as he was and looking really happy. "You're glowing," he added, more to himself than to Nick.

"That's cuz I'm happy," Nick said as he climbed back into bed next to Justin, resting his chin on Justin's stomach looking up at him.

Justin looked down at Nick, "That's good to hear," he said with a warm smile, his hands reaching out so he could run them through the bed head hair.

"I still can't believe last happened," Nick said with a far away dreamy look in his eyes.

Justin smiled, thinking back to last night. He felt his stomach flutter and his heart swell. "Well, better believe it 'cause it did happen," he chuckled.

Nick chuckled too, "Yeah I know...I can feel it," he said wiggling his ass a little, it was a tad sore but it was a good kind of sore.

Justin bit his lower lip, lost in thoughts for a few moments. "How..." he cleared his throat, "How does it feel... um... you know..." to have a dick up your ass? He mentally continued the question but didn't dare ask loud.

"To have somebody inside you?" Nick asked in a rather nice way, figuring that was what Justin was asking but wanted to make sure.

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah..."

Nick moved so he was sitting Indian style next Justin looking down at him. "It feels wonderful...it makes you feel so full and possessed. Then if the person your with hits your prostate, you see stars."

"Hmm," Justin thought before smiling a little. "But it's gonna hurt for a first timer isn't it?"

Nick nodded his head, "Yeah it does hurt...but the hurt only lasts a little time." he assured Justin. "Most guys on their first time still orgasm...unlike some girls can't achieve orgasm the first time."

Justin nodded his head. He knew about the girl part because of Britney and Kelly but the guy thing that was new. "Good to know," he answered, before stretching out his body and letting out a satisfied groan when he settled back again. "Are we staying in today or we heading out?" Justin really didn't feel like leaving the warmth that was his bed anytime soon but was just curious as to what Nick wanted.

"I don't want to go anywhere yet...maybe if we do go out we can go out for dinner or something?" Nick suggested.

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah, sounds like a plan," he said before stretching his arms out, indicating for Nick to come to him.

"I should call the airport," Nick said but lied down in Justin's arms anyway.

"Well," Justin said looking at the phone on the nightstand. "The phone's just an arm length away... so's your wallet and papers."

Nick laughed as he did what Justin said, reached for the phone and his things. A second later her was calling the airport and talking to somebody there.

Justin stroked up and down Nick's arm as he listened to Nick's side of the conversation with whoever answered the phone. From the sound of things, flights were all grounded and the amount of time was still to be undetermined. He heard Nick give them the cell phone number where he could be reached at if and when things changed before hanging up the call.

"Looks like it's still just you and me baby," Nick said with a big smile before he turned over and pressed his lips to Justin's.

Justin pressed his lips to Nick's but not taking it further than that. He still hadn't gone to the bathroom to freshen up for the day. "Yup, just the two of us," he said once they pulled away.

Nick rolled back onto his back and scratched his stomach that was getting irritated from the after effects of their lovemaking the night before. "We haven't had time like that in a while...without like packing and stuff to worry about."

"I know," Justin said before grabbing the remote to pull open the curtains to let some light into the room. "Although I could do without the snow..."

"Yeah I know...same here," nick laughed and then whined. "Okay...I need a shower I'm itchy." he said scratching at his stomach gain.

Justin chuckled. "Alright babe," he said. "Go on and take the shower..."

"Come with me?" Nick asked as he stood up.

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah, I'll be in, in a minute... I'm just gonna grab stuff to wear."

"I gotta do that too," Nick said as he headed to his bag and pulled out his favorite pair of well worn sweats and a long sleeved t-shirt before heading into the bathroom.

Justin waited till Nick disappeared into the bathroom before quickly grabbing his cell phone and making a phone call, all the while getting up and getting clothes to change into. Five minutes of hushed conversations with plans being finalized he hung up the call, replaced his cell, and walked into the bathroom seeing Nick getting the shower ready. Quickly, Justin set his clothes on the closed toilet seat and brushed his teeth before hopping in behind Nick in the warm spray of the water.

"You smell minty fresh," Nick giggled when he felt and smelled Justin climb in behind him.

"Thank Colgate," Justin chuckled, letting out a content sigh, just soaking up the warm water for a few moments before he grabbed the soap and began to lather Nick up.

"I still smell like me...and well you." Nick giggled and then let out a content sigh of his own when Justin's hands started washing him.

Justin chuckled, pressing a kiss to the spot just below Nick's ear before bending down to soap up his legs and then making his way up slowly to his cock and ass.

Nick could tell where Justin's hands were heading and it was obvious his body had an idea too because it was responding nicely. "Are your hands straying Mr. Timberlake?"

"No," Justin smirked. "I think they know where they're going and what they're doing." His hands, both of them soapy, moved to Nick's cock, stroking him, smiling to himself as Nick started to harden.

Nick moaned, "I thought you were supposed to be...washing me." he said with a grunt when Justin really started to stroke him.

"I am," Justin said with a smirk. "See... soap..." he paused as he showed his soapy hands. "...and washing," he took a hold of Nick's member and continued to 'wash' him.

"I...I...I don't think I'm THAT dirty..." Nick stuttered feeling himself harden even more in Justin's hand.

"Who said you were?" Justin asked before moving on to finish soaping the remaining parts of Nick that haven't been soaped up yet, very well aware of Nick's growing erection. He then gently nudged Nick under the spray of water, rinsing him off.

Nick let out a groan of protest when Justin let go of him but didn't say anything, just let Justin push him under the water and rinsed himself off. He then reached for the soap and started to soap Justin down just like he had to him.

Justin let out a content sigh as Nick gave him the same treatment that he'd given Nick. A few moments later, Justin was just as hard as Nick was as they rinsed him off under the spray of water.

Nick gave Justin a small smile as he reached over and turned the water off and stepped out of the tub, all the while attempting to ignore the hard-on that they both had.

Grabbing the towels, Justin wrapped one around Nick while wrapping one around himself. Drying off Justin began to put on the change of clothes he'd brought in with him, watching Nick do the same.

Nick was grateful he had only grabbed sweats because he didn't think jeans and zippers would feel too great right about now. Once his clothes were on he walked to the sink, grabbed his toothbrush and started to brush his teeth.

Justin pretty much gave up on pulling his zipper up over his erection and when Nick started to brush his teeth Justin walked back into the bedroom, all the while trying to calm himself down to zip up. Flopping down backwards on the bed, his arms folded behind his head, Justin closed his eyes and waited for Nick to come out.

Nick came walking out a few minutes and laughed at the pout on Justin's face. "What's the pout for baby boy?"

"I need to start buying bigger jeans," Justin answered only to frown a second later. "Then I would need a belt... I don't like belts..."

"Bigger jeans?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow. He was busy putting his dirty clothes from the night before into a plastic bag he had in his duffle bag and wasn't noticing that Justin was still as hard as he was. Normally Justin was better at losing his hard-ons.

"Yeah," Justin sighed, sitting up with groan, looking at Nick. "You wanna call in room service... we haven't eaten anything for breakfast... so, lunch... or you wanna go down to the restaurant in the lobby?"

"Staying in sounds nice...I'm not exactly dressed to go out." Nick said still shuffling things around in his bag. At this point he was bent over, his butt sticking up in the air a little.

Justin took in a deep breath and forced himself to look away and pick up the menu. Nick wasn't helping his problem anyways. "Waffles? Pancakes? Breakfast special? French toast? Oh... hey, lunch sandwiches, make your own... anything sound good?"

Nick laughed as he finished what he was doing and made his way back to the bed. "Yeah lunch stuff sounds good cuz it is like eleven thirty."

"Lunch it is," Justin said as he grabbed the complimentary hotel's stationary pad before writing down what he wanted for his sandwich before asking Nick what he wanted. Once that was done he called downstairs and put in a request. "Twenty minutes," he said, hanging up.

"Good...I'm hungry," Nick said as he flopped onto the bed, looking up at the ceiling, his shirt riding up and showing about two inches of his stomach. He didn't realize by just acting casual he was driving Justin crazy. Not to mention the fact that he was still hard, just used to it...it didn't bother him that much.

Justin cleared his throat, grabbing the remote control from the night stand and turning the TV on. Maybe another sort of distraction would help him out a bit because the distraction Nick was offering wasn't helping.

Nick moved around so he could lie on Justin's lap. When he went to put his head down he got a some what rude awakening...Justin's lap wasn't very comfy right now. "Ohhh...sorry," he said actually blushing a little. He hadn't expected Justin to still be like THAT.

Justin rolled his eyes as he shook his head. "Uh huh," he said in disbelief, moving Nick's head just a tad bit so that it wasn't resting right on his crotch, but rather more comfortably on a pillow over his lap. Once Nick was settled, Justin leaned back against the headboard, his hands idly wandering in Nick's hair.

"I could fix it for you...ya know." Nick said looking up at Justin from his position on his lap. "You don't gotta cover it up."

"Yeah but," Justin shrugged, not knowing how to end that. He didn't know why he didn't feel like having his erection taken care of. Maybe he just liked torturing himself, who knows?

"I understand," Nick said with a knowing smile, he as feeling the same way. For some reason he didn't mind being hard, he knew whenever they did get off that day it would be so good. "We just might be stuck in our room all day though unless you want the next tabloid to read. "Justin Timberlake walks hotel hallways with impressive boner."

Justin laughed. "Yeah... no," he said shaking his head. "I'd just be happy if I don't make anymore tabloid covers for a while... I'm pretty sure my PR is having a great time right about now with all the stuff that just happened the other day with Catherine..."

Nick giggled, "Yeah...enough tabloids about your sex life...the only person who should know about it is me." he said with a nod of his head.

"Amen to that," Justin laughed, ruffling Nick's hair.

Nick let out an almost purring sound when Justin ruffled his hair and then let out a content sigh. "This is nice."

"Yes," Justin agreed, smiling to himself, just thinking about later that night. They sat there for a few minutes in silence, just watching TV before they were interrupted by the knock on the door, indicating their lunch was ready. Justin walked over and rolled the cart in before he and Nick started to eat their respective sandwiches, making small talk.

Once lunch was done, Nick flopped back onto the bed, rubbing his stomach. "I ate too much," he groaned a pout on his face.

"Too much would be if you still have some food left over and can't fit it all in," Justin commented as he wheeled the food cart out of the room and into the hall before walking back in and plopping down besides Nick, kissing his cheek.

"No...I had too much; my stomach even looks fatter then normal." Nick said still pouting cutely at Justin and rubbing his pudgy tummy that had actually gotten a little more so over the last month because of his medication.

Justin rolled his eyes. "Eh... you still look gorgeous," he said. "So, it's all good."

"Thanks," Nick said with a small smile, blushing a little at the compliment. He didn't get what people saw in him. He didn't find himself attractive at all.

Justin couldn't help but smile at the tinge of redness that crept into Nick's cheek. "Awe," he said leaning over with his hand and brushing off some of the strands of hair covering Nick's face aside. "You don't take compliments well, do you? It's cute."

"Never really got them before now," Nick answered honestly. He then thought of something. "Shit I should call Aaron...I called Kel to tell her that I've been held up but I haven't actually talked to Aaron." He pushed himself up and grabbed his cell. Once he had it he snuggled back next to Justin as he dialed Eddie and Kelly's home number.

Justin combed his fingers through Nick's hair, looking up at the ceiling as Nick called back home. He thought about his conversation with Kelly and Eddie, Marty and Manny, just a few days ago; and remembered that he should check his e-mail, Kelly having said something about sending him an article. It was then he remembered he didn't have his laptop, and wondered if Nick brought it along with him.

Nick talked to Kelly for a few minutes then Aaron for another few minutes. After about fifteen he hung up the phone. "Well sounds like Kel is having fun having a teenager in the house with her." he giggled. Aaron had been giving her some what of a hard time, with curfews and things.

"Typical teenager," Justin shrugged. "Hey... did you bring my laptop?"

"Oh yeah I did," Nick said blushing a little again feeling bad he had forgotten to mention that when he had first gotten there. He then hopped off the bed and went to his back. A second later he was handing Justin his laptop.

"Thanks," Justin said with a smile, taking his laptop and turning it on before connecting the charger. "So, besides giving Kelly a lovely time... how's Aaron doing?"

"Fine...even though I'm worried about him a little though." Nick admitted with a sigh, flopping back so he was lying on his back again. "Too much moving around and stuff isn't good for somebody in recovery." He said speaking from experience.

Justin turned his attention to Nick, frowning. "Well, I don't think with what's coming up would be good for him either," he made a face.

"What do you mean?" Nick asked not understanding what Justin was talking about exactly.

"The trial and court hearings that gonna come up," Justin clarified. "He's gonna have to testify in court..."

That reminded Nick of something. "I might need you to come to court...or at least talk with the Lawyer I need somebody close to me to prove that I'm a good person for Aaron to stay with."

Justin stayed silent for a few moments, mulling it over in his head before replying, "Yeah... sure. You can also get Kelly and Marty to do it..."

"Yeah..." Nick said knowing Justin just didn't want to or couldn't really do it. "I'll ask them." he was then a little worried to mention something else he had been having to talk to Justin about but he was a little worried to do so.

Justin nodded his head. "If I'm not doing anything during that time... I'll talk to the lawyer or testify on your behalf..." he paused. "But don't worry about that part... we'll deal with it when it comes."

"Justin...they need to talk to you even if it's not to testify on my behalf." Nick whispered...he had wanted to keep Justin out of this as much as he could, but it became impossible he found out.

Justin sucked in a deep breath. "Regarding...?" He asked.

Nick took a deep breath, he had been thinking about this a long time and he didn't like the idea but he figured it was the only thing to do since he didn't want Justin getting wrapped up in this and possibly too much information given. "I'll figure something else out...you won't have to." he said thinking about the real estate books he had gotten the day before he left. The problem was that if Aaron was to live in Justin's home since there was abuse in the past they had to check out every person the boy would be living with.

Justin wrinkled his forehead, setting his laptop aside on the nightstand before turning to Nick. "Nick... that's not what I asked..." he paused. "What would they need to talk to me about if it isn't on behalf of you?"

"They would need to talk to you...and do a back ground check and stuff since Aaron will be living with you too. I guess its something they especially do in kids who are being taken from their homes because of abuse." Nick explained paying more attention to the odd print of the hotel comforter then Justin.

Justin shrugged; he didn't think a background check on him was anything for him to worry before he froze in thought. Although he's never done drugs he has smoked cannabis on a few occasions, would they look into that as well? "Well... um, they wouldn't find anything as horrifying as abuse where I'm concerned..."

Nick had a feeling he knew what Justin was thinking about and laughed. "I think you're safe baby...if you're worried about pot you should see what I've done."

Justin let out a breath of relief and offered Nick a small smile. "Okay, cool... then I don't see what the big deal is if they go a background check on me...Unless, they have this thing against boy bands or whatever."

That caused Nick to bust up laughing. "Yes I think being in a boy band is a crime." he giggled but then got serious again. "The reason it's kinda a problem is cuz well doing this will make us have to stay in the residence we're in for at least a year.." he said not sure if Justin would want to be tied to both of them for that long...especially if something went down between them.

"Okay...." Justin drew out, not seeing the problem at hand. "Wait… you looking or thinking about getting your own place or something?"

Nick licked his lips and shrugged his shoulders; it wasn't that he wanted to. "I don't want to...but I don't want us to be tied to you...you're used to having your own place..." he said not realizing Justin was perfectly happy with sharing the place with him on a rather somewhat permanent basis.

This caused Justin to frown more. "Yeah, I'm used to having my own place... a place that I barely ever get to be in," he pointed out. "Besides, if you haven't noticed... I don't have a problem with sharing my home with people I love." He couldn't help but feel just a little prick of hurt when Nick had said that he didn't want them to be tied to Justin.

Nick noticed the frown and he knew by this point how Justin sounded like when he was hurt or upset. "I want us to stay with you Justin...but what if something happens between us…what happens then when Aaron and I can't leave?" his insecurity issues were coming through, in his mind people didn't stick around long term. It was imprinted in his head like that, and needed reassurance that this wasn't' happening any time soon.

"Nick... even if something happened between you and I," Justin started. "I would still need you in my life, besides you and Aaron could take the guest house out back... but hopefully none of that would have to be put into action 'cause I don't plan on breaking up with you anytime soon... much less in the next year or so."

Nick let out a sigh of relief, he knew it was dumb that he was even thinking different but he couldn't help it. "I'm sorry..." he whispered, feeling dumb for having even though it.

"Don't be," Justin said tugging Nick closer. "I love you, and yeah it's only been a few months but I feel like I've known you forever. And as long as we're honest with each other... things will work out."

Nick rested his head on Justin's shoulder. "It will...you're right. You just have a worry wart for a boyfriend."

"You wouldn't be you otherwise," Justin chuckled, pressing his lips to Nick's head for a kiss.

"I love you," Nick whispered pulling back to look into Justin's eyes, "So much."

"Love you too," Justin replied, leaning down and capturing Nick's lips with his own.

Nick let out a soft moan as his left hand came up to hold the back of Justin's head as he kissed him back.

Justin slipped his tongue out a few moments later, licking at Nick's lips only to pull back. Doing anything with Nick was making Justin hard again. "Okay," he said with a smile. "Since we have that settled, is there anything else I should know?"

"I'm trying to figure out if I want to just be his legal guardian on papers of if I want to actually adopt him." Nick said still not sure what he was going to do about that.

Justin thought about it. "He'll be eighteen in two years... and wouldn't it be a little odd if you adopt your own brother?"

Nick nodded, "Yeah it would be..." he said not really wanting to say the real reason why he would want to do it. He didn't want to freak Justin out. See, the real reason was it would look good on his record if he ever wanted to adopt a baby of his own some where down the line.

"...but..." Justin drew out, having a feel that was going to follow.

Nick blushed a little..."You're going to think its stupid." he said knowing he should tell since they just brought up the fact that they were going to be honest with each other.

"will you stop thinking that everything you think of is going to sound stupid?" Justin asked, making a face before poking Nick's stomach.

"Hey dude I ain't the Pillsbury dough boy!" Nick exclaimed playfully rubbing at his abused tummy. "The reason I want to do it is because it will look good on my record if I want to adopt a baby down the road."

Justin froze for a moment as the words sunk in. "I see," he said. "I still don't see how that could help mainly because Aaron's practically a young adult right now... a baby is a whole other category." He then shrugged, "But either way, I suppose it's your choice."

"I'm still thinking about it..." Nick said but then thought of something else. "Actually it's kinda our choice...cuz we just admitted we're not letting each other go for a long time so big ass decisions should be made by both of us I think."

Justin ran a hand through his hair, nodding his head. "Yeah..." He couldn't help but feel his heart break just thinking about his unborn child.

Once again Nick could feel Justin's mood change the instant it did and it scared him a little how well he knew the other man. "Baby...did I say something wrong?"

Justin looked into Nick's worried and scared eyes and quickly shook his head. "Of course not," he said. "I was just... that just... it just reminded my baby I lost."

Nick's eyes went to worry to sadness, in a weird way he had been attached to that little baby too. "Oh baby I'm so sorry," he said pulling Justin into his arms. He wasn't apologizing for brining it up just apologizing in general because he had forgotten about it and how much it would still be affecting Justin.

"Adopting a kid would be like permanently linking us together," Justin said with a smile.

Nick wasn't sure now if Justin was talking about Aaron...or a baby...and he had actually never expecting Justin to want to be a part of that adopting...in either case. He wasn't even sure what to say. "It would," he agreed giving Justin a smile of his own wanting to see if Justin would give him more information to go by.

Justin just naturally assumed that if he and Nick were still together somewhere long down the road, and if Nick adopted a child that he would naturally be part of the kids life too. It didn't occur to him that that might not be what Nick could want or was even talking about. But that comment about adopting a child would also have Justin's opinion added also made his think that way. "Hopefully I'll be out by then, wouldn't have to worry about hiding that..."

Nick was happy to understand more now. "Yeah...then we'll have people fussing over the newest Timberlake." Nick giggled smiling at the thought.

"Newest... Timberlake?" Justin asked, amused and awed by it.

Nick nodded his head, not sure what Justin found so weird about it.

"Not gonna be...Carter?" Justin asked, titling his head to the side.

Nick thought about that a second, it was weird but he never thought about his and Justin's kids with his last name...the few times he had actually thought about it. Truth was, he wasn't sure he really wanted to carry on the 'Carter' last name. "I just always thought about our kids having your last name." he admitted, knowing he was showing Justin he had thought about it.

Justin watched Nick's face for a few moments before something caught his attentions. "Kids?" He questioned, stressing the plural-ness of the word.

Nick simply shrugged his shoulders. He always pictured two for some reason.

"Okay," Justin said. One kid was going to be a handful, how in the world would they cope with more than one? Time will tell, Justin supposes, because as of right now, that wasn't his main concern. "Couldn't the last name be...Carter-Timberlake or Timberlake-Carter..."he shrugged.

Nick found this rather funny....they were already thinking about families. "Why don't we worry about that when time comes...hmmm?"

"Yeah, I was thinking that but... curiosity got the best of me," Justin replied.

Nick giggled, "I'm glad you were thinking about it...makes me love you even more." he said leaning in for another kiss, not realizing why Justin had stopped it earlier.

Justin kissed Nick back in a closed mouth, simple kiss. "You still wanna stay here or... you wanna go check out the game room?" He frowned. "You do play basket ball right?"

Nick laughed and nodded his head; "I do...rather well actually." he said and then pouted. "You didn't kiss me." he said playfully.

"Good," Justin let out a breath of relief. "And I did too kiss you!"

"Blah...that wasn't a kiss" He said still pouting playfully.

"It was," Justin said, poking him playfully in the stomach. "This on the other hand," he paused as he captured Nick's mouth, his tongue diving in and exploring before sucking on Nick's tongue for a few more moments. When he pulled back, he took in a deep breath and said, "would be making out... and if we had kids... they would call it sucking face!"

"We don't have kids yet...this is how kids come to be though." Nick giggled playfully groping Justin.

Justin moaned when Nick's groped him. "Yea but you don't have the right organs for it," he said keeping a straight face as best as he could even with Nick's hand still there. "Unless, there's something you're not telling me." He shuddered. That is unless Nick wanted his own kids... Nick was right, it was better off thinking about it when it was time to think about it... and that most definitely was not now.

"Yes I can actually have kids...sorry I didn't tell you." Nick giggled as he stroked Justin a little more before pulling his hand back. The bad thing was Justin was already hard...and not just semi so. "Oppsy sorry baby..." he smirked.

"No your not," Justin mock glared at Nick. He traced his own hand down Nick's chest - stomach - before resting it lightly on his crotch. "You know that movie... Junior, or something like that with Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger?... Well, anyways, if you having this," he squeezed Nick's package, "and can still give birth to kids..." He laughed even if the thought of that happening horrified him. There were just something's men were not and are not supposed to do. "You'd be the perfect boyfriend in the universe."

Nick groaned and pouted. "You mean I'm not the most perfect boyfriend in the universe even if I can't have babies?"

"You are," Justin stated. "But just not in the universe or galaxy... just here on Earth." He laughed as his hand rubbed Nick through his sweats. "But you're lucky I have no interest in whatever is out there."

Nick groaned again the more Justin stroked him. "How are we going out...now that we're hard." he laughed pulling Justin's hand away. "Basketball with hard-ons...that should be...interesting."

"Just think about Arnold bring pregnant with DeVito's kid," Justin answered, making a face. "Its doing wonders on my hard on."

"It wasn't DeVito's kid...it was this woman's kid who he ended up marrying." Nick giggled.

"Well, whatever... it was an experiment that shouldn't have been," Justin said. "Either way, it's getting the job done." He shrugged as he looked down at his lap.

Nick pouted..."Awe man...damn you Arnold and Danny." he laughed as he stood up." Let's go before I attack you."

Justin laughed as he got up. "Let me just change into more comfortable and appropriate clothes for a game of hoops." He walked over to his dresser and took out a pair of sweats and a long sleeved shirt. Quickly he stripped out of the clothes he was wearing and put on the clothes he took out. Making sure he had his wallet and cell with him, he turned to Nick. "Let's go."

"You strippin in front of me doesn't help the fact that I was losing my hard-on." Nick laughed as he followed Justin out of the room. Wondering if Justin knew he was only wearing his sweats...nothing more.

"Awe, but I like you when your all hot and bothered," Justin said, his voice low... he didn't want anyone to hear him even though there weren't anyone out in the hall, but you can never trust this doors and walls to keep sound or voices out.

"You keep talking like that and you most definitely will have me hot and bothered." Nick whispered back, now wishing he put on thicker sweats before leaving the room.

"Oh," Justin said his eyes dropping down to Nick's crotch before he pressed the button for the down elevator. "Oh well," he smirked.

"You're mean!" Nick laughed playfully smacking Justin's arm but it looked nothing more then just to friends goofing around.

"So... what's new?" Justin asked with a chuckle as he stepped into the elevator when it opened. Pressing the button for the right floor he turned his attention to Nick.

"I have no idea," Nick said playfully glaring at Justin. "I have this significant other that is being mean to me."

"Oh, sorry to hear that," Justin said, sounding genuine although it didn't last long. "I guess you'll just have to take it out with him on the court... eh?"

"Yeah I guess I'll have to since it's the only sport I'm good at...that doesn't require a bed." Nick said with a smirk as he leaned back against the elevator.

Justin raised his eyebrow. "There are sports that involve a bed?" He asked.

Nick nodded his head as the elevator opened and they walked out. "They are quite fun too...I might have to have him play one with me tonight...after the basketball game."

"Oh really?" Justin asked. "Is it a two player game or are more people involved?" They walked down the hall, past the game room and the rec room all the way to the other end where two big metal doors were. Pushing them opened, Justin was happy to see that there was no one occupying it at the moment and wished it would stay that way.

"Normally two players...but sometimes more people get involved." Nick said as he followed Justin into the room, looking around at the spacious court.

"Cool... so should I call Cat and James..." He trailed off when he saw the look on Nick's face before he started to crack up. Heading over to the closet towards the side he grabbed a basketball and walked back over to Nick, still laughing.

Nick now had a contemplated look on his face. "Well...I wouldn't exactly mind seeing LL naked." he teased.

"Oh gawd," Justin said, looking at Nick before shaking his head. "Hey... no visualizing other guys naked in front of the significant other..." He pouted.

Nick chuckled and then held his hands out. "Come on...let's play."

Justin checked the ball to Nick and watched his bounce it a few times as they got into position. "Alright," he said and as soon as those words left his mouth, the game was on and it was intense. They continued to play that way for about an hour, neither realizing the time fly by. It wasn't until they were both panting for air and they were dehydrated that they stopped to calm down. "I'll go get us the water..." Justin offered, walking over to the vending machines outside of the court to get the bottles.

"I will flop on the floor and die," Nick laughed, doing exactly that....well the flopping not the dying part.

Justin walked back a few minutes later with two bottles of water, one of them that he already drank half the content of. He handed Nick his bottle before sitting down, back to the wall, besides him with a groan.

"You wore me out," Nick said once he drank down half of his own water bottle.

"Awe man," Justin said. "If I wore you our already... then what's left for later on tonight?"

"I think I should be refreshed by then." Nick smirked playfully eyeing Justin up and down. Nobody was in the room still so they were rather safe

"Oh good," Justin said as he tilted his head back, resting it against the wall, taking in a deep breath. A few moments later he smiled as he looked back at Nick. "Are you up for another round?"

"I don't know..." Nick laughed "I'm too fat for this....too out of shape."

Justin made a face. "No, you're not," he said. "And if you think you are... what better way to get INTO shape than a good game of one-on-one..."

Nick groaned as he got up on his feet looking down at Justin. "Fine...get up then lazy bones." he giggled.

Justin pushed himself up to his feet before grabbing the ball. This time, however, they kicked it down a notch, goofing off and just playing for the fun of the sport. They lasted much longer on the court. It wasn't until five that evening did they stumble into Justin's room before collapsing on the bed, sweaty and thirsty.

"I stink," Nick groaned, but not making any move to go get in the shower.

"You're not the only one," Justin chuckled, turning on his side and draping his arm over Nick's stomach. "The last time I played so much was a few years back when the guys and I were living together down in Orlando... and we needed something to do to kill time."

"I haven't played since I lived at home with Aaron." Nick said smiling at Justin. "It's nice to have a partner again."

Justin nodded his head. "Yeah, it is," he agreed.

"I knew you were good for something," Nick teased, rolling over so he was on top of Justin, looking down into his eyes.

"Good to know," Justin said, his hands automatically resting on Nick's hips. "What's that look for?"

"What look?" Nick asked playing dumb.

"The look you had on your face before you put this one on," Justin said, hands moving up and down Nick's sides.

"That was the 'You have no idea how hot you look sweaty like this' look." Nick said, his voice getting deeper proving the fact.

"I should be sweaty more often," Justin said, feeling his groin come to life at the way Nick was looking at him and the vibrations of Nick's voice going through him. He cleared his throat and shook his head. "Come on... let's go take a shower... before we're late for dinner."

"Dinner?" Nick asked, that was the first time he had even heard about dinner...let alone a dinner they could be late to...which meant there was an appointment.

"Yes, dinner," Justin replied. "As in not breakfast or lunch... you know the food you eat when it's not morning or evening or midnight?" He chuckled.

"I've had dinner at midnight before," Nick giggled as he climbed off of Justin.

"That's probably a midnight meal then," Justin shrugged getting up and taking off his sweaty shirt, followed by his sweats. He then walked towards the bathroom in his boxers and turned the shower on, to the right temperature.

Nick took off all the same articles of clothing but instead of walking with his boxers on he was walking into the bathroom with nothing on. "Probably so." he said as he wrapped his arms around Justin, pressing his body up against him from behind.

Justin moaned, leaning into Nick's touch, willing himself not to react to the closeness. "Hmm, my naked ass is getting cold... shower..." he stepped into the shower with Nick following suit immediately letting out a content sigh as the water sprayed over him.

Once in the shower, Nick too tried to not react and be a good boy, but it wasn't the easiest thing to do in the world. "Where are we going...for dinner?" He asked as he grabbed the soap and innocently started to wash Justin.

"Someplace private and formal," Justin replied helping Nick to soap him up.

"I didn't exactly bring my formal clothes..." Nick said wishing he had packed that pair of dress pants he had been thinking about packing.

"Don't worry," Justin said. "Any black pants or black jeans will do."

Nick thought about what he packed and yeah he had packed his rather tight black jeans. "Okay...good." he said pushing Justin under the spray again to rinse off.

Justin closed his eyes until all the soap was gone from his body before stepping away from the spray of water only to begin working on Nick. It was too cold and too snowy out for what he'd originally planned for their dinner, and so, it was a good thing he'd thought about all that before he'd made his reservations for some other place.

Nick's body didn't do too well with Justin soaping him up but he ignored it and let Justin finish. Once he was rinsed he walked out of the shower and grabbed them both towels.

Justin smiled as he fingered the silver of the ID bracelet he'd given Nick. "Have you even taken this off since you got it?" he asked, as he dried off.

Nick shook his head in then negative as he ran a towel through his hair. "I like it too much to take off."

"Hmm," Justin said kissing Nick's lips briefly before walking out into the room. Rummaging through his clothing he started to pick out what to wear.

Nick stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes to get himself to calm down before he joined Justin in the bedroom. Once he did, he walked to his bag and picked out his black jeans and a semi dressy looking polo shirt. He hadn't expected to do anything that required dressing ups. "Does this look okay? I didn't bring anything else."

"That's fine," Justin said looking Nick over. He pulled on a baby blue turtle neck, before putting away his black slacks and grabbing one of his black jeans, so Nick wouldn't be alone. Not that it mattered because it would be only them at the place.

"Sexy baby," Nick said looking at Justin, wiggling his eyebrows.

Justin looked down at his attire, not thinking anything about it. "Thanks," he said with a smile. "Leave your hair down, like that..."

"I look like a shaggy dog," Nick said making a face. He had always thought he looked better with his hair spiked. The only problem was he was in need of a hair cut right now so it looked kinda funny up too.

"A cute golden one," Justin chuckled. "Leave it down," he said again.

"Okay," Nick answered back never able to deny Justin anything. "When do we go?" he asked, sitting on the edge of the bed to put his shoes on.

"Ten minutes," Justin said checking the time. He placed his wallet in his jeans and clipped his cell to its clip on his belt. He then went about putting on his shoes and his winter gear.

"Are you gunna tell me where we're going?" Nick asked with innocent eyes...having a feeling Just wasn't going to tell him since they hadn't already.

"Nope," Justin said sitting adjusting his scarf. "You'll find out soon enough."

Nick pouted at Justin as he got up and grabbed his own coat and gloves. "You look like a snowman," he said now smiling when he saw Justin all bundled up. He loved to see Justin like that because it reminded him of when they first knew each other.

"Yeah," Justin chuckled. "I can't afford to get a cold..."

Nick made a face at that, "No you can't...not just cuz you would have to put a hold to filming but because it just sucks to be sick." he said thinking he was thankful he hadn't been sick since the weird flu bug he got back in Europe.

"Yeah," Justin agreed again. "And I would end up having to be all sick alone." When Nick seemed to be ready Justin headed for the door.

"Yeah next time you get sick...you better be home so I can take care of you." Nick said as he followed Justin to the door, grabbing his own key and wallet on the way. "Like you've done to me twice already."

Justin chuckled. "You took care of me too," he pointed out. "With my back sprain thing..." He pressed the down button for the elevator.

"True..." Nick said thinking about those times...those times were...well...interesting to say the least, with the whole love triangle going on between them and Kelly. He was thankful those times were over. "That was a very...umm interesting time." he said softly, still feeling bad for what he had done.

"Mhmm," Justin said wondering why it felt like ages ago instead of just a few weeks ago. "Is it just me or is time going way too slow and we're going way too fast. We, as in... just everyone and everything?"

"I feel it too," Nick said a slightly confused look on his face. "I mean it seems like I've known you forever and its only been two months. My life has changed drastically in that time too."

"I'll say," Justin said thinking about just how HIS own life has changed in such a short amount of time. "But I'm happy with the way things are turning out now." He smiled.

Nick turned and smiled back at Justin. "Me too..." he said but deep down he was still worried that things were going to be wrapped out of his fingers at any moment, and he was also worried about what was going to happen with the whole Aaron situation.

Justin caught uncertainty cross Nick's eyes and was just about to ask when the elevator door opened. There were a few people inside as he and Nick stepped on, the corny elevator music almost putting him to sleep before the doors opened up to the main floor, much to Justin's relief. "The car's out back..." He said leading Nick to the left so they could head to the exit.

Nick didn't say anything just followed Justin's lead out to where the car was. He was still caught up in thought once they were inside and heading to their destination.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

A few minutes of silence passed before Justin nudged Nick with his arm. "Is everything okay?" He asked, concerned.

Justin nudging Nick drew him back out of thoughts and turned to look at him. "Hmm?"

"I asked if everything was okay." Justin said turning a bit in his seat so he could get a better look at Nick.

"Oh yeah everything is fine." Nick said with a small smile.

"For some reason I don't buy that." Justin frowned and pulled on his scarf when he felt a bit suffocated.

Nick sighed, "I'm just worried about the whole Aaron custody case is all."

Justin nodded his head in understanding but he didn't know what to say to that.

Nick sat up a little straighter in his chair took a deep breath and put all that to the back of his mind. "So do I even get the smallest hint as to where we're going? Can you at least tell me what kind of food there is?"

Justin put on a thoughtful face, almost as if he was contemplating the answer to Nick's question. A few moments later he looked into Nick's eyes and shook his head, "Nope."

"Meany," Nick said glaring playfully back at Justin, still keeping their eyes locked.

"You know it," Justin smirked although with the amount of clothing he had on... it would be hard to tell. "We're almost there, anyways," he said seeing the familiar streets.

Nick stuck his tongue out at Justin playfully before he turned to look out the window to see what was passing by them. He didn't know the area all that well so he didn't know if it would do any good.

A few minutes later the car came to a spot and Justin leaned forward to talk to the driver. Once that was done the driver got out and came out to their side and opened the door for them. They were standing outside the C-Food restaurant, it was a...well, seafood restaurant... and he hoped Nick would like it.

Nick laughed when he saw the name of the place. "That's clever." he giggled as they headed inside.

They were greeted by the maiytr'd and when Justin told them party of two for the Randall's they were quickly escorted down to a private room towards the back of the restaurant.

"That is also clever," Nick whispered to Justin as they headed back to the private room. The room was a beautiful place, almost prettier then the rest of the restaurant. "Ohh I feel like a king." he said looking around in awe.

Justin smiled at Nick before nodding his head at their waiter. He'd already told them what they'd be having for appetizers, dinner, and then dessert. The whole room was reserved for them for that night and soon the waiter had rolled in a tray, the food covered, before leaving them, the doors closing as he left. Justin began to take his coat and scarf and gloves off, smiling at Nick...loving the look on his face. "The room's ours for however long you wanna stay in here."

Nick was still looking around the room in awe. Even though he had been with Justin as either a friend or boyfriend for the last two months he still couldn't get over the fact that HE Nickolas Gene Carter could get attention like this. He turned to Justin and smiled big, "This is wonderful baby..."

"I thought it would be," Justin smiled before walking over to Nick and tugging on his coat. "You could take this off." he pointed back to where the coat stand was, where he'd already placed his things.

Nick blushed, "Oh yeah..." he said and then turned around indicating he wanted Justin to take it off for him...like a real date.

Justin smiled as he unzipped Nick's coat before removing his scarf. He then went behind Nick to take the coat off. When that was finished he took the stuff over to the coat stand and hung them there. "Appetizers are already served... you want that or you want to go straight to dinner?" he asked, when he pulled the chair out for Nick to sit in.

Nick giggled and sat down in his seat. "I've never had a real date like this before." he said as he sat down and let Justin push him in. "Appetizers sound nice."

Justin leaned over and pulled the covers off the appetizers before he rolled the food cart closer to them so that he wouldn't have to get up much. He then took his seat and began to munch on some of the appetizers. "What are some things that you've never done that you wanted to do?" he asked, curiously.

Nick thought about that, "Well a lot of them I've already done. Like travel and stuff." he answered but then thought more about it. "I've always wanted to have kids...and a family and I never thought I could have that." he said thinking about their conversation they had earlier. "I've always wanted to go on a boat...small or a cruise doesn't really matter."

Justin made a mental note of those things as he continued to eat slowly. "I see..."

"This is great..." Nick said after swallowing a bite of what...he wasn't exactly sure it was just good. "Was it hard for you to get this planned?"

Justin shook his head as he wiped his hands on the napkin before taking a sip of his wine. "No... Just made a call this afternoon and it was set," he answered.

"Well...thank you," Nick said reaching for his water glass. He wasn't sure how much contact he could have with Justin…even if they were in private...but HOW private was it?

"No need to thank me," Justin said, raising an eyebrow, wondering if Nick was going to keep thanking him for everything he did for him. "You wanna eat your dinner before its gets too cold?" He opened the covers to their dishes, revealing a wonderful salmon dish.

Nick's mouth was practically watering when he saw the dish. "I think I will eat it...that looks wonderful," he said picking his fork up and digging right in.

Justin couldn't help but chuckle at Nick's actions. "Good thing I had them remove all the bones," he said watching Nick dig in before he went about eating his own fish.

"I can't help it...its good and I'm hungry." Nick giggled as he continued to eat. About half an hour later he was done and stuffed, leaning back in his chair. "God I think I ate WAY too much..." he said rubbing his stomach.

"Hopefully there's more room in you for dessert," Justin said smiling devilishly at Nick. He then uncovered their dessert with was a combo of a regular chocolate with chocolate frosting... while the other piece was a chocolate cheese cake with strawberry bits and sauce.

"You're trying to kill me..." Nick groaned as he looked at the desserts. "Trying to kill me with food." he added as he picked up the fork.

"I thought the best way to a man's heart was through his stomach?" Justin shrugged as he too grabbed his fork and scooped a bit of cheese cake. "Smooth..." he said when it practically melted in his mouth.

"Really good," Nick added as he took another bite...too good. He thought to himself. "This is almost better then sex." he mumbled out.

"Hey now," Justin said pouting and then making a face, "I wouldn't say it was THAT good. I should take that away from you..." He nodded at the slice of cake Nick was currently eating.

"My cake," Nick said like the fish on Finding Nemo who liked bubbles. He even added the glare in and held his fork up as if to poke Justin if he tried to take it.

Justin gave Nick a mock-surprised look. "Fine, no sex then," he shrugged as went back to eating his chocolate cheesecake, trying to act indifferent.

Nick seemed pleased that Justin didn't take his cake when he realized what he said. "Hey...no sex tonight...or no sex ever?" he asked with a pout on his face.

"What do YOU think?" Justin asked.

"I hope you didn't say it at all and that I'm just hearing things." Nick said with a nod of his head.

"It's neither of those," Justin laughed.

"Oh good," Nick said as he let out a playful sigh of relief. "I would hate to tell a certain part of my body that sex was gone for good." he said just being a nut.

"Huh?" Justin asked before shaking his head. "I said it's neither... as in, you *weren't* hearing things and I *did* it..."

"You hear that...we're doomed," Nick whispered in the direction of his lap before taking another bite of his cake.

Justin chuckled. "You're silly," he said. Once he had eaten half the cake he swapped it with Nick's slice that way he could finish the rest of the chocolate cake and Nick would finish the rest of the cheese cake.

Nick gladly took the cake and started eating it. "I'm so going to have to go on a diet now or I'm going o weigh thirty more pounds then I already do before I leave."

"Oh be quiet," Justin said shaking his head. "I think you're prefect the way you are." He nodded his head to punctuate his words. "If you go on a diet, I'm scared that you're ass will disappear too."

Nick smirked, "You like my ass?" he asked as if this was something he didn't know.

"Duh!" Justin said looking at Nick with twinkle in his eyes. "Besides your good looks and other nice qualities that define you... you're ass is next in line, man."

Nick blushed a little and looked down at the cake that was almost finished. He knew he should take compliments better by now but when it came to his looks he still had a hard time. "Thanks," he whispered shyly.

Justin reached his foot over to Nick's and lightly brushed against his leg. "And you're also cute when you blush like that," he whispered.

Nick looked up with just his eyes and gave Justin a smile. "I think your foot is wondering again Mr. Timberlake."

Justin shrugged. "What can I say; it's got a mind of its own?"

"Hmmm..." Nick said as he went back to finishing his cake, wondering where Justin's foot would go to next.

Justin's foot just rested between Nick's legs, for the moment. When he finished with his last bit of cake and licked his fork clean he sat back in his seat, popping the button of his jeans. He was way too stuffed but he didn't mind, it wasn't everyday that he could get the opportunity to eat that much.

Nick giggled when he saw Justin pop the button on his jeans. "Glad I'm not the only one that feels like he's too full." he said doing the same to his own.

"Uh huh... I gotta find a way to work all this off though," he replied as his foot went up and rested on the edge of the chair between Nick's legs.

"I hear treadmills work nicely." Nick giggled, "Even though I have never been on one. Exercise and me don't mix."

"Eh," Justin said, making a face. "I don't feel like running or using my legs for much of anything."

"Crunches?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow as he stacked his empty plates, and then reached for Justin's to add them to the pile.

Justin made a face at that before he got an idea. "Only if you're straddling me holding out food for me to munch on." he chuckled.

Nick busted up laughing and then smirked. "I can think of something else for you to be doing if I'm straddling you."

"Hmm, I wonder what?" Justin trailed off as he brushed his foot slowly on Nick's inner thigh.

"I...I don't know..." Nick said as he swallowed hard trying to keep his control.

Justin grabbed his glass of wine and finished it off before slouching a bit more in his seat and resting his head back against the chair. "So, Mr. Carter," he said. "How are you feeling?"

"Very full, Mr. Timberlake," Nick whispered in a husky voice meaning his stomach...and the fact that his cock was beginning to fill and rise in his jeans. "How are YOU feeling?"

"Content and stuffed," Justin replied tilting his head down a bit so he could look and smirk at Nick. "There's one more place I wanna take you to..." He added.

Nick raised an eyebrow wondering what the smirk on Justin's face meant. "Oh?"

"Yeah," Justin said pushing himself to seat up right before standing up to stretch. Sucking in air he buttoned his jeans again and looked over at Nick. "Coming?"

"Yeah," Nick said as he stood up, buttoning his own jeans. He then walked and got their coats, this time going to help Justin get bundled up. "There...now you're my little Snowman again."

Justin tightened the scarf around him and smiled a thank you at Nick. They then walked over to the door and opened it before making their way out. Neither noticed the man hiding behind the tall plant by the doors as Justin thanked the waiter and left with Nick.

"So where are we going?" Nick asked as they climbed into the car. He was all smiles, totally forgetting about problems back home now.

"Somewhere," Justin answered as they hopped into the car.

Nick rolled his eyes. "You really are mean."

"Only for you," Justin cooed and then chuckled.

"Lucky me," Nick pouted playfully his arms crossing over his chest for effect.

"You know, you keep that up and we're gonna give Dan over there," he nodded over to their driver, "A show in the back seat."

Nick raised an eyebrow, still pouting and in the same position as if saying 'I dare you.'

Justin mock-narrowed his eyes as he purposely sat on his hands so he wouldn't do no such thing. He didn't know Dan and really couldn't trust him with keeping secrets and he didn't wanna risk it. He'll just have to get Nick later when they were in the confines of his hotel room.

Nick's pout turned into a smirk as he glanced down at Justin's hands which he was sitting on now. He then brought a finger up to his mouth to bite a little on the nail but making sure he sucked on the tip a little more then he normally would; planning on teasing Justin to death.

Justin groaned as he brought one of his hands up and loosened his scarf from around his neck a bit more. It was getting a little too hot in the car and then decided it wasn't soo bad just as long as he doesn't look at Nick but it was kinda hard to do since Nick was right THERE. "You're evil, you know that?"

"Me?" Nick asked with the best innocent look he could manage. "You're the one that won't tell me where we're going...that's evil." he said totally playing it up as he continued to do what he was doing with his finger since he knew it was getting to Justin.

"That's me trying to surprise you..." Justin whined. "Not trying to get you too hot and bothered!"

"Sorry baby," Nick said moving his hand back down so it was resting on his own thigh. "Ugh I wish I brought chap stick." he said licking his lips.

Justin reached into his pocket and shuffled around for a bit before pulling his hand out and removing his gloves. Reaching back in this time he found what he was looking for and handed it over to Nick. "You want lotion too?" he asked.

"No thanks," Nick said as he took the Chap Stick and used it before handing it back to Justin. "Thanks." he said with a content sigh, resting his head back against the seat looking up at the ceiling.

Justin replaced his chap stick before putting his glove back on. He then scooted a bit closer to Nick before resting his hand on Nick's thigh, just needing that kind of contact.

Nick turned his head to the side and smiled at Justin before doing the same, reaching over and resting his hand on Justin's thigh.

It was another fifteen minutes later before they felt the car pull to a stop. "We're here," Justin said as he looked out the window and saw the tower. It wasn't long before they were making their way inside and towards the elevators inside the CN Tower. The first stop was at the arcade where they both let the kids inside them out and played almost every single game there was in the room. The second stop was a room dedicated to a virtual video game race car type thing. And the last and final stop was at the Sky Pod... which they were at now. Justin had blindfolded Nick so that he wouldn't see the view until Justin found the perfect spot for Nick to stand. Once off the elevators Justin escorted them over to the big windows and looked out at the white city, thankful that it had stopped snowing enough so that they could see the city nicely.

"Can this thing come off yet?" Nick whined. He knew they were up high...he could tell by the elevator ride and now he really wanted to see where they ended up.

Justin thought for a minute and slowly took off Nick's blind fold. "Keep them closed till I tell you to open them," he said as he quickly stuff the bandana back in his pocket and then stood next to Nick. "Okay... open them."

Nick opened his eyes and gasped as he looked out the window and down at downtown Toronto. "Oh my gosh..." he whispered as he just stared wide eyed.

"With the snow and everything... I know we couldn't do the sight seeing thing that you wanted to do, but this was the closest thing I could think of," Justin explained. "I was gonna reserve us seats at the restaurant here but there weren't any private rooms or booths..."

"It's okay...this is wonderful." Nick said giving Justin a big smile as he moved a little ways down so he could see a little bit of a different view.

Justin stayed in his spot as he looked out at the city, giving Nick whatever time he needed to look at the city from a different view. He frowned he saw a reflection of someone he thought he recognized, not in the good sense, in the windows but when he turned around to see the person was gone. His heart was beating faster but he took in a deep breath to calm himself down. He told himself that he was probably seeing things.

"Justin...you okay?" Nick asked as he walked over to Justin. He has been standing in front of him talking for a few seconds and Justin was obviously not listening...and he had a weird look on his face.

"Huh?" Justin snapped back, looking at Nick wondering how he got in front of him so fast. Wasn't Nick a few feet away looking out the window?

"Are you okay?" Nick asked again, worry evident on his face. "Do you wana go?"

Justin rubbed at his face and nodded his head to Nick's first question. "I'm fine," he said before sneaking a look around them again. "And yeah, we can go... if you're ready.."

Nick nodded, having a feeling that leaving would be a good idea. Justin looked nervous. "Come on let's go." he said leaning the way to the elevator. This time it was his turn to think he saw somebody standing out of the corner of his eye, when he looked though nobody was there.

Justin let out a deep sigh as they got into the elevator. He wanted to mention what he thought he saw or at least mention that he felt like they were being watched or followed but he didn't want to worry him more. Nick already had a lot to deal with on his plate. He gave him a small smile. "Long day, huh?" he asked.

"Yeah..." Nick agreed also going through the same thing Justin was. He didn't know if he should mention that he felt like they we being watched or followed. Justin didn't need that; it would freak him out too much.

Once they were back in the car Justin told Dan to head back to the hotel. Once they were back Justin and Nick headed up to their floor, to their room. When the door closed behind them Justin discreetly let out a breath of relief finally feeling like they weren't being followed or watched. He then began to take his layers of clothing off and only stopped when he was wearing his wife beater and boxer briefs. He then grabbed the remote and increased the temperature in the room. "Shower?" he asked Nick once he set the remote down.

"Sure," Nick said with a smile as he worked on stripping off his own clothes so he was wearing his own boxers and wife beater. He then led the way into the bathroom; purposely shaking his ass more then he needed to, to walk.

"Tease," Justin said before smacking Nick's ass with a smirk on his face. He then frowned when he thought about something. "Be right back." With that he walked back out of the bathroom and over to the main door to make sure it was locked and then headed into the bedroom over to the windows and made sure they were locked before pulling the curtain closed. Once he made sure they were no slits where anyone can see through into the room he headed back into the bathroom, satisfied.

Nick was already in the shower waiting for Justin. He couldn't help but feel that something was going on that Justin wasn't telling him about and it was making him uncomfortable.

Quickly Justin got out of his underwear and shirt and stepped into the shower behind Nick, wrapping his arms around him, and kissing his shoulders.

"Hey baby..." Nick whispered and let out a content sigh when he felt Justin behind him and then kissing his shoulders.

"Hey," Justin whispered back, before looking to the side at the sliding glass doors for the shower. He reached out and pulled them closed just because he wanted to and not because he thought it would make a difference either way. He just felt better with it closed. Reaching for the soap he rubbed it in his hands before going about getting Nick all soaped up, paying more attention to Nick's teasing ass and dick than the rest of him.

"Now whose being a tease?" Nick groaned aroused by Justin's cleaning hands.

"Serves you right," Justin replied with a chuckle as he nudged Nick under the spray of water. "That's what you get for teasing me earlier."

"I didn't tease you this bad," Nick whined as he rinsed off and then grabbed the soap from Justin to clean him off and then get his own revenge.

Justin chuckled as Nick went about soaping him up but when Nick got down to his cock he groaned out in pleasure, his hips bucking up a bit at the attention Nick was giving him.

Nick giggled, "Why sound so turned on baby boy...I'm just washing you." he teased as he 'washed' Justin for a few more seconds then moving his hands around his hips to 'wash' his ass.

"Su...sure, you are," Justin replied watching Nick's face as he started to knead and work on his ass.

After a few more minutes of this, Nick was getting too turned on to tease Justin any longer and pushed him under the shower spray to rinse off. He then stepped out of the shower wrapping one big fluffy towel around himself, and grabbing another to hand to Justin when he was done.

Justin dried himself off before wrapping the towel around him but before Nick could walk out of the bathroom Justin pulled him close and brought him into a bruising kiss.

Nick gasped and then moaned when he got over the shock and fell into the kiss. His own hands wrapping around Justin's waist and pulled him even closer if that was even possible.

A few moments later Justin let go of Nick and pulled back from the kiss, breathless. "Okay, now we could go and change."

Nick pulled back panting a confused look on his face. With a kiss like that he didn't think changing was going to be happening at least for an hour or so.

"What?" Justin asked when Nick gave him a confused look.

"Nothing..." Nick said as he turned to walk out of the room. He didn't get how Justin could go from being turned on and attacking him to normal the next. Once in the bedroom he went over to his suitcase and started shuffling through it for some sweats and another wife beater.

Justin grabbed his clothes that he discarded in the bathroom and brought them over to his duffle bag, where he kept all his dirty clothes. He then took out a sweat pants and a t-shirt before putting them on.

Once he was dressed again Nick headed over to the mini bar in search for a can of coke. "Oh great," he said out loud when he realized housekeeping hadn't restocked the fridge that morning. "I'm gunna head down to the vending machines to get a coke...want anything?" he asked his lover who was dressing.

Justin shook his head. "No, thanks," he said as he looked over at Nick.

"Okay, I'll be back." Nick said as he grabbed his wallet and headed out into the hall. He was all the way down to the end where the vending machines were located when he started to feel uneasy. 'You're losing it Carter' he told himself as he quickly put the dollar bill and change into the machine and pushed the right button. A few seconds later the bottle came to the bottom and he got it out. Quickly shoving his wallet into the pocket of his sweats he walked back down the hall. He was almost there when the feeling got even worse. Turning around he spotted somebody standing in the shadows by a trashcan alcove and swallowed hard. 'What the heck is going on?' he thought to himself and he quickly got to the room, used his key and got inside, letting out an obvious sigh of relief even though he didn't mean to.

Justin looked to the door when he heard Nick come inside in a rush. Getting up from where he was arranging his clothes in the drawers he asked, "What happened?"

Nick swallowed and took a deep breath. "Nothing...I just ran...wanted to get back to you." he lied through his teeth.

"Huh," Justin said as he walked over to Nick and tugged on his shirt to get him off of the door. He then opened the door and peered outside into the hall, looking both ways before frowning. The hallway looked...creepy, all it was missing was eerie music in the background to fit Justin's mood at the moment. Closing the door again he made sure it was locked before looking at Nick, curiously.

Nick closed his eyes and looked down at his feet, shuffling uneasily. "Something isn't right..."

"I know," Justin said as he walked past Nick over to the hotel phone. Picking it up he called downstairs to tell them something was going on and that they needed to pump up the security in the building especially on his floor.

Nick walked to sit on the end of the bed, his elbows resting on his knees, his head in his hands. He didn't know why but this was freaking him out more then just the obvious person watching them...it was something else too.

Once Justin got off the phone he looked over at Nick. "You think I should call Lonnie and ask him come up here?" He asked, referring to his bodyguard.

"I don't know," Nick mumbled still not looking up at Justin,

Justin contemplated that for a few moments before he picked up his cell phone and dialed Lonnie. Just in case. Once he was threw with that phone call he rolled his neck side to side and took in a deep breath.

Nick blinked his eyes a few times trying to keep himself from crying. He couldn't help but think that this was some how his fault. Whoever this was would probably have left Justin alone if he had been alone.

Justin crawled under the covers and looked over at Nick. "Nick?" he asked in a whisper.

Nick took a deep breath and raised his head to look over at Justin from where he was still siting on the end of the bed. "Yeah?" he asked hoping his distress wasn't extremely obvious.

"What's the matter?" He asked, patting the space beside him for Nick to come and get in bed with him.

Nick crawled onto the bed and then under the covers, resting his head on Justin's shoulder. "What's happening?" He asked sounding like a scared little boy no matter how much he didn't want to.

Justin took in a deep breath and answered, "I think we're being followed." He turned his head to the side so he could press a kiss to the side of Nick's head. "I mean, this isn't the first time it's happening to me..." he trailed off. 'But it's the first time where I feel scared shitless' he thought to himself. 'Because this guy is following US around.'

"I felt it at the tower too." Nick whispered biting his lower lip.

Justin nodded his head. "Me too," he answered. "Don't worry about it, okay? I'm sure it's just some crazy fan or a no-life paparazzi!" He wasn't sure who he was trying to convince, himself or Nick but he prayed it was working on Nick because it wasn't working on him.
[
Nick nodded his head as he snuggled into Justin even more. "I…I'm sorry." he whispered.

"For what?" Justin asked.

"Causing problems...like this." Nick replied softly

"What makes you think it's your fault?" Justin asked, shaking his head.

"If somebody was just following YOU around...I don't think you would be this freaked out." Nick stated showing Justin he could sense how much this was bothering his lover.

Justin kept quiet. He wouldn't have been as freaked out as he was if he was with a female but seeing that he was with Nick, a guy, things could get ugly and ugly was not what Justin wanted. Plus, there was something else too. The person he thought that was following them... he felt like he had recognized that person and just thinking back to the tower... back to the reflection in the window Justin got chills down his spine. Something was off but it's not Nick's fault. He couldn't let Nick think that, at all. "Listen to me," he said a few moments later. "I just don't want things to get out of hand... especially when important things like your brother's court case could be affected," which was true. "And yeah, I'm a little freaked out about whoever is following US around... but hopefully once the security is high and Lonnie is here... things would be okay. Who knows? Maybe we're just being paranoid...maybe."

"Yeah," Nick whispered still sniggling in even closer to Justin. "I might be going home tomorrow too...so that might help." he said but then got an icky feeling in his stomach. What if the person follows HIM home?

"Hmmm," Justin thought, getting the same dreadful feeling as Nick was. "Just promise me you won't go anywhere by yourself and make sure your never by yourself and if you are ... make sure you have your cell phone with you, fully charged."

Nick swallowed hard and nodded, "I won't..." he said wondering if security could come and be with him too. Normally Justin didn't keep them around the house because he liked to be as normal as possible...but right now...Nick was really beginning to get scared.

Justin closed his eyes tight. Tonight might possibly be the last night Nick would be in Toronto, the last thing he wanted was to be freaked out and worried when he could be spending peaceful time with his boyfriend and just memorizing every single detail about him to memory to use at a later time. He wrapped his arm around Nick and got more comfortable before letting out a face splitting yawn.

Nick two had different ideas about what this night would entail and up until their shower ended he felt it was going that way. He still didn't understand what made Justin play hot and cold like he did, especially after what they had shared the night before. "I don't want to go." he whispered after a minute or so of silence.

"Don't want you to go either," Justin said. "But you need to be back for work…and Aaron..."

"I know," Nick said knowing he would go back...he just wouldn't like it. Trying to shake the depressing mood from his brain he pulled himself up so he was looking down at Justin, then leaned down for a kiss.

Justin kissed Nick back and soon the kiss turned passionately hot. Within moments Justin was hard with his hands rubbing up and down Nick's back. He still felt a little weirded out by being intimate in the room where it was too bright and too much space and just enough for paranoia to kick and tell him that someone could be watching, or they could be making shadows and people could see it on the curtains. At least in the bathroom there hadn't been any windows much less curtains.

Nick felt Justin losing the passion and pulled back from the kiss panting for breath and majorly turned on. "W...what?" he asked wanting to know why Justin wasn't eagerly kissing him back anymore.

"Could we...I just ... want to dim the lights" Justin asked, already grabbing the remote to set the lights in the room to low. "There better."

Nick didn't say anything just waited for Justin to make the next move. He wanted...needed to make sure Justin really wanted this.

Justin then licked his lips as he brought one hand to the back of Nick's neck, gently pulling Nick down so that they were kissing again while his other hand rested on his hip.

Nick moaned into the kiss resting his still cloth covered lower half down on Justin's...but even through his sweats it was obvious what the kisses and touches were doing to him.

The hand that was resting on Nick's hips made its way under the waistband of Nick's sweats to cup his ass. Nick's skin felt so warm and so smooth that Justin regretted every bit of clothing that was keeping them from touching each other skin-to-skin. "Nick," he breathed out when Nick's kissed trailed down his neck, his hips bucking up to get some kind of friction.

"Hmmm?" Nick moaned in question as he kissed along Justin's neck, then sucking his Adams apple.

Justin 'hmmed' as Nick worked on his Adam's apple. He titled his head back trying to give Nick more room to work on his neck. "Oh…that feels good," he said in a low throaty growl.

Nick's hands found their way up under Justin's wife beater cursing the annoying material as he continued his assault on Justin's neck, his hips grinding down against Justin's still.

Justin gasped when Nick pinched his nipples, and he bucked his hips up with enough force to sent pleasant waves of pleasure throughout his body. His cock was throbbing painfully in his sweats and Justin needed more... With both hands on Nick's ass Justin held him in place before he started to rub up against Nick, fast and hard, his lips attaching to Nick's neck.

Nick couldn't take anymore of this. There was too much clothing. Pulling back he reached down to pull his own sweats down and then attempting to do the same with Justin's but they were getting tangled up. "Dumb...thing." he panted out.

Justin chuckled as he helped Nick pull of his sweats and then his t-shirt. Once their clothes were thrown on the floor they were back to kissing and grinding against each other, this time their bodies were touching skin-to-skin. Justin was in heaven because it felt so good to be with Nick like this.

The kisses continued along with the grinding for a good few more minutes before Nick pulled back looking down into Justin's eyes. So much love, lust and desire pooled in their depths. He didn't say anything just hoping Justin would get what his eyes and body language was saying that he wanted...needed.

Justin smiled back at Nick before reaching for his wallet on the nightstand. He pulled out a packet of condom before ripping open the packet. "I remember someone mentioning something that he would do if he were straddling me..."

Nick smirked back as he took the condom from Justin and sat up so he was indeed straddling him. Reaching down he took ahold of Justin's cock and started to stroke it a little watching Justin's face the whole time.

Justin had his lower lip between his teeth his eyes watching Nick's hand work his cock. When he couldn't take it anymore he looked up at Nick and pleaded, "Nick... baby... please?"

Nick couldn't tease Justin any longer. Quickly as possible he got the condom on Justin and hovered over him before slowly lowering himself down onto Justin until he was sitting fully on Justin's hips, totally buried inside of him.

"Ohhh," Justin let out a content sigh, his hips moving a bit before he placed his hands securely on Nick's hips. When Nick raised up a little Just held him in that level before he began to thrust up into Nick, slow at first but quickly catching speed as he continued on.

Nick was soon moving himslef up and down on Justin as he moved inside of him. "Oh god...baby..." he groaned his head back, lower lip between his teeth in pure pleasure.

Justin's breath caught in his throat at the sight of Nick riding him. The low light of the lamps giving Nick a warm glow and his hair had this golden shimmer to it that Justin desperately wanted to run his hands through. He ran a hand over Nick's chest, pinching and teasing his nipples as he did do before finally taking Nick's cock in his hand and stroking him.

Nick grunted, almost losing it when Justin started stroking him but he managed to hold out a little longer. "Fuck...Justin...baby so close." he groaned clenching his muscles together a little to ensure that Justin would be falling over the edge with him soon.

"Shit," Justin cursed out when Nick's muscles squeezed him. His gripped Nick's hip with his free hand hard as Nick continued to ride him. "Me too... almost...there," He grunted.

It was another minute before Nick couldn't handle it anymore. With a loud groan and a shout of Justin's name he came onto Justin's stomach and hand, his muscles clamping down on Justin hard.

A few more thrusts up into Nick and Justin orgasm washed through him as he emptied himself into the condom, his body becoming limp when he'd finished. He let go of Nick's cock with a lazy yet sated smile and continued to get his breathing back to normal. "I love you."

"Love you too..." Nick whispered as he gently lifted himself up and off of Justin so he could flop down and cuddle next to him. "Too sleepy...to clean up." he mumbled sounding very relaxed and sedated and definitely ready for sleep.

"Hmmm," Justin made a face at the mess on his chest. he then reached over for the Kleenex on the nightstand before he wiped the seed off of himself and then wrapped the condom in the tissue. Once he was done he grabbed the remote and turned off all the lights before snuggling up with Nick, now ready to sleep," Night Nicky."

"Night...Justin..." Nick mumbled from where his head was resting on Justin's chest already almost in dream land. He liked that place...that place there were no problems and definitely no uneasy feelings about people following them.

End of Chapter Hundred
