Nick bounced down the stairs as he and Brian exited their hotel and out onto the streets of Downtown Seattle. He was beyond excited to be spending the day with Brian since he hadn't really got any time with him the day before.

Brian laughed as he jogged down the stairs to try and keep up with Nick. They'd arrived at Seattle early that morning before settling into their rooms. Nick hadn't wanted to go back to sleep instead he had been eager to start the day with him... at 7:30 in the morning. After showering, getting dressed, and eating their breakfast, they were ready to go sight-seeing at 8:45 AM.

Nick held tightly to Brian's hand as they walked down the unknown streets. He then smiled so big when he saw something he loved...water. "Ohh Brian look...dat the ocean?" he asked pointing at the bay.

Brian nodded his head. "Yup," he said. "That's the ocean." He then walked them across the street and onto the board walk.

Before long they were walking into the huge Seattle outdoor marketplace and Nick saw something that he just thought was beyond funny. "Brian day frow fish!" he said pointing at the men throwing the fish around to each other saying different things. When one man said he wanted a crab to take home with him to Oregon the men shouted 'Crab on a road trip' and then threw the crab around to each other.

Brian looked over to where Nick was pointing at and smiled. "They're not just throwing fish so much so as they are getting that man's," he said pointing at the man waiting for his order. "Order."

Nick laughed as he watched the men throwing the fish around some more doing tricks with the fish and all sorts of things. They probably stayed there watching that for a good twenty minutes before Nick was ready to go. They then started walking down looking at all the other things. It was then that Nick saw ice cream. "Me want dat!"

"It's still morning, Nick," Brian said looking at Nick with wide eyes. "How about we get that around noon?"

Nick pouted and mumbled something under his breath that sounded like 'Justin would have let me.'

"What was that you said?" Brian questioned leaning his ear closer to Nick. He could have sworn he heard Justin's name in there some where but he wasn't sure because the sound of the waves crashing was a bit loud.

"Me say noting," Nick said, not wanting to get himself in trouble with Brian. He then walked away from the ice cream place and over to look at some other stuff that was around.

Brian frowned and then sighed as he followed Nick who was looking around the market.

"Daddy me buy dat?" Nick asked, he was looking at a really cool looking hand made necklace. It was weird because one second he could call Brian by his name or call him daddy.

Brian nodded his head as he took his wallet out and asked the man to give Nick the black thread necklace with the shells attached to it. He paid the man after he handed Nick the necklace. "That's a really awesome necklace," Brian said as he helped Nick put it on.

Nick smiled big as he looked down at the necklace. It was then that he heard something and turned around to see three teenage guys laughing at him, saying things about him being a retard and stupid...and other really unkind things.

Brian felt the anger boil deep within him. His whole face turned red with fury and his knuckles turned white because of how tight he'd clenched his hands into fists. He was about to march over to them and pound their faces in to the damn ground when he noticed the police walk over and have a 'talk' with those teens. He decided to stay put and look at Nick. His heart broke at the look on the younger boys face.

Nick didn't really know what to think but he did know enough to know those boys were saying those mean words and laughing at HIM...and that made him feel sad. He looked down at his feet as his lower lip quivered and he tried not to cry.

Brian immediately pulled Nick closer to him and hugged him. "Hey," he said. "Don't listen to them. They are stupid teenagers and they don't know what they are talking about. They are just jealous because you're so adorable and they're not."

"Me not tupid," Nick whispered as a few tears fell down his cheeks. "Me not." He hadn't really known what retarded meant but he knew what stupid meant and also know it was a very, very bad word and nobody was supposed to say it...let alone call anybody else stupid.

"No, you're not," Brian said as he shot another glare at those teenagers. "What they said wasn't nice. You're not stupid Nick, believe me."

"Me wana go now," Nick whispered, meaning he wanted to leave that area. It was then that he remembered Howie say something about a big toy story. "Me wana go see big toys!" He exclaimed happy again. There was an F.A.O. Schwartz just a few blocks up from the docks.

"Okay," Brian said. Ready to leave the area too. 'Some people,' he thought 'Have no heart.' They walked down the strip for a few minutes, passing by many novelty stores and fish markets, before they reached a big building with big stuffed animals showcased by the windows. "We're here!"

Nick giggled like crazy and walked into the store. He hiked his backpack up on his shoulders a little bit as he looked around in total awe at the biggest toy store he had ever seen. "Wow!"

Brian walked up behind Nick and adjusted his own travel bag that was on his back and Nick's baby bag from one hand to the other. He watched Nick who was looking around the store with big wide eyes. He was happy to see that Nick wasn't sad anymore. One good thing about being a kid, Brian supposes, is that they tend to get over things quickly, well, most of the time. "Where do you wanna start?" Brian questioned looking around as well after a few seconds of silence.

"Over dare!" Nick said excitedly as he ran over to a huge Lego section. He got even more excited when there was a table that the kids could actually play with the Legos and since it was still fairly early in the morning there was room for him to play too.

Brian noticed that the only other people at the table were kids who looked to be between the ages of 2 and 6. He smiled at the parents that were there watching their own children play and then he diverted his gaze over to Nick before sighing.

Nick spent a good half an hour playing with the legos until he got bored and stood up. "We go some pace else now," he asked, wanting to see another part of the store.

"There's a laser tag section," Brian said as he remembered that Nick loved that part of the store. Every time they would visit an F.A.O. Schwartz store that that was where Nick would go over. "It's in the back."

"What dat?" Nick asked as he followed Brian to the back, wondering what this laser tag stuff was all about.

"It's where we have these laser guns, which are basically these tiny red lights," Brian explained as they continued to walk. "And you point and shoot at people who have the black vests on. You wouldn't be really hurting anyone but your job is to get as many people as you can without getting 'killed'."

Nick still looked a little confused but seemed excited about it. "Ohh otay...me wana do dat!" he said as they arrived at the laser tag place.

Brian walked over to the security guard who would store away there bags for them before heading over to the counter and requesting a gun and a vest for both Nick and him. The best part of this was that since it was still fairly early not many kids were there and there were few private game rooms that were empty. Brian ended up requesting their own room for them to freely play about. Walking back over to Nick he helped him in to the vest and handed him the laser gun. He explained the basics of how everything functioned and the rules of the game before they made their way in to their room.

"Bang bang," Nick giggled as he pointed his gun at Brian, but not pointing it at his face like Brian had told him not to. He really didn't totally understand the game behind this but he did like playing pretend with guns so this was really cool.

"Nick," Brian said in a warning tone. "Don't, under any circumstances, point the laser in to your eyes. It could make you go blind and you wouldn't want that, now do you?"

"Me no do dat," Nick said not wanting what Brian had said to happen to him. "Now what do?" he asked, not sure what to do now.

Brian looked around the dark alley themed room and looked back at Nick. "Try and get as many guys as you possibly can. Remember to point at their vests... and these dudes are bad... they pop up from the ground, from the walls, from the ceilings so you don’t have to be scared. None of them are going to hurt you," Brian explained, again, wanting to make sure Nick understood that.

"Otay," Nick said as he started walking around, he had shot at a few people when he noticed that Brian wasn't with him anymore and that scared him more then getting startled by fake people popping up. "Brian?" he called softly, really beginning to get spooked. He didn't like being by himself and things were starting to scare him more now that he was.

Brian heard Nick call out his name since he was quietly following Nick from the other side where he could perfectly see him. "What's the matter Nicky?" Brian questioned. "There's no need to be scared if that's what's bothering you. I'm not leaving this room."

"No go bye bye...shoot bad guys wit me," Nick whispered, he liked this game but he didn't like being by himself in the dark.

"Hmm," Brian said as he walked up behind Nick. "Okay." See, what Brian was originally going to do was shoot all the bad guys with Nick since he'd ordered the guns and vests that were on the same team so that Nick would get the free stuffed animal. He was going to help Nick get as many points as he possibly could.

Nick smiled big, feeling much more comfortable now. He then went back to shooting the bad guys with Brian's help and by the time they were done he had gotten a lot of bad guys. "Me gots a lot and a lot of dem!"

Brian nodded his head as he rested back against one of the walls. He had to admit that some of the popup bad guys scared the living hell out of him. "You wanna go now?" He questioned.

Nick nodded his head as they walked out of the room. He squinted at the light when they gave their stuff back. "Me gots lots and lots of bad guys," he told the guy who was working at the counter.

The guy, Marcus, looked at Nick with a raised eyebrow before recognition flashed in his eyes as he noticed just who these two were. His daughter had informed him about what had happened to her beloved Nick. He smiled at Nick and then at Brian. "You sure did," he said as he checked the microchip card and smiled seeing that Nick and Brian, combined got a total of 750 points. He printed out a slip of paper and handed it to Brian. "You know how these things work, right?"

Brian nodded his head and gratefully accepted the slip and walked over to the security guard to get their bags.

"What dat do?" Nick asked, not thinking the slip of paper was really that cool of a prize for doing such a good job at getting all the really bad guys.

"It's a permit that tells us that we can get just about anything... any one of the toys, that's in this point range," Brian said walking over to the prize collection store.

Nick didn't even have to look twice when he saw exactly what he wanted. "Me get dis?" he asked picking up a medium sized elephant stuffed animal. "He look ike da effent me and Justin see esterday."

Brian looked at the point range on the slip and then at the sign above the toy section they were standing at. It matched. "Sure," he said. He handed the slip over to the man who was behind the counter and got it scanned.

Nick hugged the stuffed animal to his chest. His day would be perfect now just because of the one stuffed animal that he wasn't going to let out of his site.

"Nick," Brian said. "You can let go just a little on the elephant. It won't go anywhere."

"Me ike it," Nick said as he gave the elephant an even bigger hug. "It my effent."

"Okay, okay," Brian said and then stopped as he looked at the time. It was a little past noon. "You wanna get something to eat and that ice cream I promised ya form earlier?"

Nick nodded his head excitedly as they walked out of the store and the first place he saw was McDonalds. "We go dare...Justin take me dare!"

"Um, okay," Brian said a bit unsure. "You don't want pizza or anything like that?"

"No, me want Mic Onalds," Nick said bouncing down the sidewalk, almost pulling Brian's arm off with how much he was bouncing and how fast he was going.

"Geez," Brian said laughing. "I've become attached to my arm over the years and I really don't want to part with it anytime soon." Brian held the door open for Nick as they walked in. He immediately spotted a two seat table all the way in the back corner and quickly headed for it. "C'mon, we'll sit down over here," he said as he placed their bags down on the floor between the wall and their table. "What do you want?"

Nick thought about that for a second before telling Brian he wanted a quarter pounder with cheese, or at least he attempted to say that. He had remembered what Justin had ordered the day before and he wanted to be just like his best friend in the whole wide world...so he would now eat the same thing as him. "Ohh me have coke too?" Normally he didn't get to drink pop, but he really, really, REALLY wanted it now.

Brian looked at Nick for a second before nodding his head. "You stay right here and don't talk to strangers," he said as he walked over to the counter and placed their order. He was glad that there weren't many people around.

Nick passed the time by taking his backpack off and putting his new found friend elephant in it, making sure the head was sticking out so he could breath. He then sat there contemplating on what in the world he should name it.

Brian returned a few minutes later balancing a tray full of food and drinks. He handed Nick his quarter pounder, small fries, medium coke, and a vanilla ice cream before grabbing his own chicken burger, fries, and coke. Brian looked at Nick who was looking at his stuffed animal with a look of concentration on his face. "Is everything okay?"

Nick nodded his head as he put his backpack down and then started to eat his ice cream cone. Hey...he wasn't going to let it melt while he ate the rest of his food.

Brian was about to tell Nick to save some room for his real food but then thought better of it considering Nick's stomach wasn't really that of a two year old. Brian chuckled as a bit of ice cream rubbed off on the tip of Nick's nose and at the way Nick was eating the ice cream. He would lick the ice cream, swallow lick his lips, and lick the ice cream... and the cycle continued. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Mm hmm," Nick mumbled around a mouthfull of ice cream. "Dis willy willy yummy...tank you!"

"No problem," Brian said as he put down his burger and wiped Nick's nose with a napkin. "There, much better. For a minute there it looked as though Jack Frost had been nipping at your nose."

Nick giggled at that as he started to eat his hamburger now. "It not dat cold out dare," he said pointing outside to the over cast Seattle day.

"Oh I know that," Brian said as he too went back to his own food. "It's just that there was ice cream on the tip of your nose, ya know."

"Ohhh," Nick said with a smile as he took a big sip of his coke and let out a big sigh like the guys sometimes did when they were drinking pop. He didn't really get why but he felt like that was what you're supposed to do.

Brian raised his eye brow and looked at Nick when the younger boy sighed. Nick had been acting quite strange that day and Brian couldn't figure out just what was up with that. "What was that sigh for?" He quietly questioned.

"Me drink pop..." Nick said like that explained it all. He really thought since he had heard the guys do it a few times that, that was what he was supposed to do.

"You sighed because you drank the soda?" Brian questioned as he scrunched up his face trying to understand the logic behind that. But when he couldn't so he shrugged. "Okay."

Nick just nodded his head before he went about finishing his burger, all of his pop and his french fries. "Me done," he said as he looked down at all his empty wrappers.

"I see that," Brian said. "You still hungry or is this it for you?" Brian had finished his meal a few seconds before Nick had and now went about collecting all their garbage so he could throw it away.

"Me good," Nick said with a smile as he helped put some of his garbage on the tray. "What we do now?" he asked.

"Do you have to use the bathroom?" Brian asked as he picked up their bags.

Nick shook his head quickly. He didn't feel like doing the whole potty training thing today...he just wasn't in the mood. "No me no gots ta go."

"I don't have to go," Brian said correcting Nick before walking out of the restaurant. "It's about one in the afternoon. You wanna go back to the hotel and get a nap?" He figured since Nick was up fairly early that the younger boy would be tired by now and would want his usually afternoon power nap.

Nick thought about this for a second before nodding his head. He actually did like naps, which was weird for a kid his age. He loved showers, naps and normally liked bedtime...which most kids didn't. "Yeah me kinda sweepy."

"Okay, let's head back to our room and how about at like 3:30 or 4:00 PM we go see the Boeing Plane?" Brian questioned as they started to walk the twenty minute walk to their hotel, The Mayflower Park Hotel.

"And da needle?" Nick asked in excitement. He had heard all about the Space Needle from the guys talking about it the night before and he really, really wanted to see it.

Brian smiled. "No, BUT we'll be having dinner there tonight. We're gonna dress up and we're all gonna go there," Brian replied.

"YAY!" Nick said as he skipped down the street actually getting a little ahead of Brian.

"I thought you were kinda sleepy?" Brian questioned as he quickened his walk to try and keep up with Nick. He couldn’t help but wonder if he was the same way when he was Nick's age.

"Me is kinda," Nick said as they arrived at their hotel, but now there were fans all over the outside and Nick's eyes went wide. "Ohhh..."

"Shit," Brian mumbled under his breath as he quickly pulled Nick back so that none of the fans would recognize them. They ran around the corner and hid before Brian pulled out his cell phone and dialed Kevin, hoping for some kind of assistance since Brian didn't have the number for the hotels security guards.

"Brian what doing?" Nick asked, trying to get away. "We go in hotel!"

Kevin answered his phone on the third ring. "Hello?" he asked in a sleepy voice. He and Howie had been lounging around all day just trying to get Kevin better.

Brian tightened his hold on Nick so that he wouldn't get away. "Hey Kev, one sec," Brian said as he turned his attention back to Nick. "Listen Nick, we can't just walk through that crowd over there. You see those signs they are holding up with our names and pictures... that's like a dead give away that they are Backstreet Boys' fans. It's dangerous! Just stay put and we'll go in the hotel in a minute, okay?"

Nick pouted but nodded his head all the same.

"Bri, what's going on, are you two okay?" Kevin asked, now wide awake and scared for his cousin and friend.

Brian sighed as he placed the phone back to his ear. "We're fine Kev, it's just that there are about fifty or more fans already outside the building and we can't get in. Could you, maybe, send the security through the back way to get us?" Brian questioned, hope dripping from his voice.

Kevin's eyes went wide. "You didn't take security with you?"

Brian wrinkled his nose and blushed. "No..." he said sheepishly. "I didn't want Nick to get freaked out or scared. Besides, I didn't think people would recognize us all that much anyways. I mean, we did pretty good so far today."

Kevin sighed, "I'll call them and get them down to you right away." With that Kevin hung up the phone and called their security as well as the hotel's security before turning and snuggling back up to Howie in bed.

"We go in now?" Nick whined when he saw Brian get off the phone.

"In a minute," Brian said as he grabbed Nick's hand and walked across the street and saw the back way to the hotel. Just when the security guards opened the door and came out Brian turned to Nick and said, "We go in now but you gotta run, as fast as you can, okay?"

Nick didn't really understand why he was running really fast but he did anyways and soon they were safe inside the hotel. "Why we run?" he asked as they headed into the elevator for their floor.

Brian thanked the security and sheepishly blushed when his own guards looked at him with a 'next time you'll listen to us' look. "We ran because we don't want to be caught or bombarded by the fans... especially you, for your safety," Brian said.

"Me otay me BIG boy," Nick said with a determined look on his face as they walked down the hall to their room once the elevator stopped on their floor.

"I know you're a big boy, Nick," Brian said as he got their room's key card out and opened the door. "BUT that doesn't matter when we're dealing with teenage girls with really long nails and high pitched voices that could wake up the dead." He walked inside and dropped all their bags on the small table in the corner.

Nick made a face. He knew all about long finger nails and had the scars on his arm to prove it. "Ohh me no ike sound of dat."

"No one does," Brian said as he walked over to Nick. "You ready for your nap?"

Nick nodded his head as he moved to unbutton his jeans. He hated sleeping in jeans, they always left weird marks on his stomach or hurt him.

Brian helped Nick out of his jeans when he noticed the younger boy struggle with the button. As soon as the pants were off he helped Nick get into bed and tucked him in. He wanted to go downstairs and maybe greet a few of the fans, sign and take pictures.

Nick got into his normal sleeping position, pacifier in his mouth, lying on his back with his hand on his crotch. It was then that he noticed something. "Me want effent," he said talking about the new elephant he had put in his backpack.

Brian looked over at the bags they'd placed on the table and saw the elephants head sticking out of Nick's book bag. He walked over and got it out of the bag before handing it to Nick. "Here you go," Brian said. "Is that everything?"

Nick nodded his head as he closed his eyes, ready for his afternoon nap. "Me good...night night."

Brian chuckled. "Night night," he whispered as he kissed Nick's forehead and watched him sleep for a few minutes before turning on the baby monitor by Nick's bed and grabbing the second one. He quietly walked out of the room asking one of the guards to stand by just in case while he asked another two to accompany his downstairs.

AJ smiled at Justin as they started down the street. They had just made it through this huge crowd of fans outside the hotel, but luckily things didn't get too out of hand and the member of their security team that was with them did a good job. "So, what shall we do first?" he asked his boyfriend with a smile. He really just wanted to find a nice secluded place where they could just be together, but he knew this was Justin's first time to Seattle and wanted him to do whatever he wanted to do.

Justin looked around at their surrounding and shrugged. "I've never been here so I don't really know what this city offers much less know what to do," he said as he looked back at AJ. "You're the expert, you tell me."

"Well all of us are doing the Space Needle tonight so we should wait for that one," AJ said and then remembered something he had loved the last time he went. "How about the Pacific Science Center. It's a really cool place and I bet if you play your cards right Mrs. Thompson will give you science credit for going," he said talking about Justin's tutor who was also meeting them at dinner that night. She had gotten stuck in LA before which is why she hadn't met them in Portland like she was supposed to.

"Really?" Justin questioned, excited. "Awesome, let's go then." Justin chuckled as he followed AJ.

AJ pouted playfully as they headed in that direction, and then realized they were too far to walk but closer to the mall. "Let's catch the tram in the mall that takes us there," he said as they headed across the street to the mall. "But I don't know maybe I will just let YOU go since you seem to just want the credit and not to hang with me," he said still playfully sulking.

Justin wrinkled his nose as he playfully punched AJ in the arm. Not too hard but not too soft. "You KNOW that THAT'S just PART of the reason I'm going. A very small part. I don't like science much, was never really good at it and I really wouldn't care if I got the extra credit or not. But you're going with me, I might as well do it and I'm sure it'll be fun."

"Ohh and I bet we can find a little corner of the Dino exibit or something where we can work on our Biology," AJ said wiggling his eyebrows. He knew it was totally corny, which is why he said it.

Justin rolled his eyes. "You would have gotten more points if you said something about chemistry, McLean," Justin said chuckling. "You're such a corn ball." He looked around for any signs of people who might he watching them. When he didn't see anyone he squeezed AJ's hand for a few seconds before letting go. He wanted to kiss him and hold him but knew they couldn't do that so this was the only thing Justin could think of.

"But it's Biology that talks about the human body and stuff," AJ pointed out as they road the escalator in the mall up to where the tram docked.

"Yes, but it's chemistry that attracts two people together. You know how some people say 'we just had this chemistry right from the start' or 'our chemistry is just amazing' blah blah blah?" Justin said. "Besides biology doesn't necessarily deal with the human body. That's anatomy and physiology."

AJ laughed and shook his head as he bought both of them tram tickets and they got on. "You may not like science but you sure sound good at it. I think I passed all my science classes with a C or even a D."

Justin stuck his tongue out at AJ. "Nick told me that, you know since he was all in that whole marine biology thing. That's how I remembered," Justin explained. He didn't mention that the only reason Nick had mentioned that to him was because Justin had been flirting with him the same way that AJ had just been. He'd keep that to himself.

The short ride to the square area around the Space Needle and the Science Center was short and soon the guys were already getting off the tram and heading towards the center. "Hey baby look at the," he giggled as he pointed at this ring that was about twenty feet in the air and you could ride this special bike around it. "That had gotta be the scariest thing in the whole world."

Justin looked up as his eyes widened. "We so HAVE to do that!" Justin exclaimed. "Let's go do that now and then again after we go to the science thingy!"

AJ shook his head like crazy as he tried to keep his feet rooted in once spot even as Justin pulled him. "Noo...I don't want to...that is just so...high."

"It's only like a few feet up in the air," Justin whined as tried pulling AJ before giving up and walking behind the older man. He then began to push him forward. "C'mon, it'll be fun!"

"You can do it...I'll watch," AJ said, blushing a little. He was scared to death of heights and the idea of doing that was making him feel sick to his stomach. He didn't want to let Justin down though knowing how much his boyfriend wanted to do it.

Justin stopped trying to move AJ and walked back over to the front of AJ so that he could look at him. "You mean you want me to go up there all alone?" He questioned with a pout.

AJ swallowed hard and shook his head. He hated to see Justin upset and would do anything to make things better. "N...no let's go," he said as he started to walk slowly to what he assumed would be his death.

Justin sighed as he grabbed AJ's arm to stop him from walking. "It's okay, Alex," Justin said. He knew how much AJ was afraid of heights and he wouldn't want to force him to do something he didn't want to do. "I was just testing you, to see if you really would do it for me." Yes, Justin was lying but still. "Come on, let's go to the Science Center."

AJ's eyes showed some relief and were also apologetic. "I'm sorry," he said softly feeling like he had left Justin down and they had only been dating a few days.

Justin smiled. "Alex, you don't have to be sorry," He said as he shrugged. "It's fine, really." Justin paused. "I would kiss you now but..." He trailed off knowing AJ would know what he meant.

"We REALLY need to find that secluded spot in the dino exhibit," AJ said through practically gritted teeth. He hadn't kissed Justin since a peck when they first met in the hallway of their hotel. He was beginning go to through some major Justin withdrawal.

Justin chuckled before grabbing AJ's arm and pulling him towards... Justin stopped. "Okay, I think you should lead the way since I like have no clue just where we're going."

"Just right over there," AJ said pointing to a door that led into the huge science museum. "Or more like right there since there is a huge ass line to get in," he said grumbling as they walked to get in line.

"Oh well," Justin said standing behind AJ. "It's fine. Um, Age? I think you better pull your hat down just a tad bit more, okay?" He said as he noticed a few teenage girls and their mothers ahead of them.

AJ did what he was told and turned his head quickly to make sure his security dude was still behind him. "Thanks baby," he said with a smile as he stood so he was almost touching his back to Justin's stomach. It was then that he had this evil idea. Reaching behind himself, looking as if he was scratching his lower back, he started to move his hand on Justin a bit, right at the zipper of his jeans.

Justin's eyes widened a bit as he gasped. "What do you think you're doing, McLean?" Justin questioned right into AJ's ear as he took a step back and cleared his throat. "You know, now finding that secluded spot isn't enough. We need to find a fucking empty room, that's what we need to find." Justin's voice had dropped a few decibels because that little contact from AJ turned him on to no end.

Hearing Justin say that made AJ moan and he all of a sudden wished they were back at the hotel in either of their hotel rooms. "Shit," he whispered as they moved up a little in line.

Justin leaned to the side and looked up at the line before sighing. "Well, isn't that just nifty," he said seeing that they would be standing for what looked like another 15 or so minutes.

AJ was quiet for a second before he turned to look at Justin, blushing just a little. "Do you, umm, maybe just want to go back and hang out there?" he asked, biting his lower lip. "I mean I will totally take you sight seeing if you want to and all..."

Justin raised his eyebrow as he smirked at AJ. "Hmmm, damn," he said. "You're giving me all these great options that I don't know just which one to choose. Since I'm not really THAT interested in science and I could probably make up other kinds of extra credit for Mrs. Thompson..." Justin trailed off.

"We could try and see if she would give you extra credit for us doing our own private Anatomy and physiology lab," AJ said with the most sex smirk.

Justin laughed. "Now you're catching on," he said as he turned around and started walking back towards the tram.

AJ swallowed hard as he followed after Justin, the whole time his eyes were on one thing...Justin's ass. It was weird but he felt like he had been with Justin a lot longer then only a few short days and in that time period they never really got a chance to really sit down and talk about what was going on.

Justin stopped once they were at the stop. He turned around and looked at AJ. "You're kinda quiet... is everything alright?" Justin questioned noticing that AJ was looking down and hadn't said a word the whole time they were walking over to the tram.

"Yeah I'm fine," AJ laughed a little. "I'm kinda trying to make sure I don't look at you too much or I might do something that I shouldn't do in public." He said with a sexy smirk.

Justin couldn't help but laugh at that before nodding his head. "Ah, I see," Justin said as he looked to see if the tram was approaching. It wasn't. Justin sighed a relieved sigh. He was nervous now that it finally hit him just what he and AJ are going to do. He gulped not really sure that he wanted to do this but at the same he wanted to know just what it felt like to be with another man, sexually.

AJ glanced in Justin's direction and saw the nervousness in his eyes and knew he needed to put the other man at ease. "Justin, we don't have to do anything that you don't feel comfortable with doing. You won't make me mad or anything, we'll do this at your pace."

Justin looked over at AJ and saw the truth in his eyes and that kind of increased his dilemma. "I know," Justin said and he did know that AJ wouldn't force him into anything that he wasn't ready for. "But I can't help but be a little nervous." Justin shrugged as he smiled at AJ. "I've only ever thought about doing something with Nick, no other guy had ever entered my mind until now... and... I don't know."

AJ smiled before patting Justin on the back in order to comfort him. He wished he could do more to ease his mind right then but he knew that wasn't possible. "I'll do whatever you want me to do to make this easier on you."

Justin nodded his head but then frowned. "But I don't know just what that would be," he said as he wrinkled his nose. He noticed the tram coming.

"Well if you think of something don't be afraid to tell me," AJ said with a smile as they got onto the tram that would take them to the mall and that was close to where their hotel was located.

Justin looked out the window as they traveled to the mall. He was thinking about everything from his past to his feelings to the man sitting beside him but nothing at the same time.

AJ glanced at Justin a few times as they were riding the tram back to the mall, but he didn't say anything because he could tell his boyfriend was deep in thought. He only hoped that whatever it was that Justin was thinking about, wouldn't end up being a problem...because he really did like him and would be sad if things didn't work out...and even more so if it happened this soon into the relationship.

When the tram stopped was the exact moment that Justin blinked and realized that they were at the mall. Surprised he asked, "We're here already?" Justin chuckled. "Hmm."

"Yeah," AJ laughed as they got off the tram and headed towards the exit of the mall. "So, back to the hotel still?" he asked, not so sure if that's what Justin wanted anymore. "I mean we could also just go see what Bri and Nicky are doing if you don't wanna like be alone or something."

"No, no," Justin said shaking his head. "We can head back to the hotel." Justin pressed his lips together and smiled as he nodded his head.

AJ smiled back and nodded his head. "Okay then," with that he started leading the way back to their hotel.

Justin followed AJ back to their hotel. Once there he stopped as he noticed that the fans were still there except now they were really screaming up a storm. As they walked closer but not close enough to be recognized Justin noticed Brian's body guard and then Brian who was signing autographs and taking pictures. "I wonder where Nick is," Justin thought out loud as he continued looking. "And how the hell are we supposed to get inside?"

AJ laughed and sighed at the same time. "I think I'm going to have to sign a few autographs myself, but I'll make sure you get inside safely." He said as they walked closer, letting the body guard make sure everything was going alright.

Justin nodded his head as he started walking through the crowd. He quickly looked behind him to see that AJ and his body guard had stopped. He smiled at Brian and his body guard as he passed by them by.

Brian looked up when he heard the screaming increase ten-fold and noticed AJ's body guard there so he assumed AJ was there as well. He then smiled at Justin who passed by him and then shrugged his shoulders before turning back to the girl who was asking him to sign her bra.

After about twenty minutes of signing things, taking pictures and all that good stuff, AJ was ready to go inside. "Hey Rok you coming in now too?" he asked, knowing it was always easier to get back in with more then one body guard.

Brian looked up and nodded his head. Then turning back to the fans he said, "I'm sorry ladies... and gents," he cleared his throat. "Um, we should go back up now. Hopefully we'll see ya'll at the concert tomorrow night." He winked and nodded at his guard indicating that he was ready to go back in.

With a lot of awes and sad sighs behind them, AJ and Brian made their way back inside the hotel. "Where's Nicky at?" he asked once they were safe inside.

"He's sleeping," Brian answered. "We got back like about an hour and a half ago and cuz he needed his nap. I should head on up and wake him. I promised we'd go see the Boeing Plane today before dinner." Brian paused as they got in the elevator. "Hey, you guys wanna come with us?"

AJ bit his lower lip and shook his head. "No thanks, we're already kinda tired ourselves from being out this morning, I think we'll just stay in and relax until dinner."

"Hmm," Brian said as he put on a sad face. "All day today Nick was saying how he and Justin did that yesterday and how Justin got him this and Justin got him that." Brian chuckled. "Could you ask if Justin would want to come along or something? I gotta go check on Nick," Brian said as he stepped out of the elevator at their floor.

"Yeah sure," AJ said with the best smile he could put on. He knew that if Justin knew that Nick had requested him to come along that Justin would go in a heart beat. "I'll go talk to him," he said before heading down the hall to his own room where he knew Justin would be since he had given him the key

As soon as Justin got upstairs and into AJ's room he had flopped down on the bed and turned the TV. He figured he might as well just watch something to get his mind off of everything and just go with the flow of things. It wasn't about maybe half an hour later that he heard the door open. He sat up straight and looked to see AJ enter the room. "Hey," Justin said smirking at him. "Everything go okay?"

AJ smiled, "It was good...but umm Nick and Brian want to know if we want to come see the Boeing plane with them." He said trying to just act normal when asking the question so Justin wouldn't base his answer on what AJ wanted to do or not.

"Oh," Justin said as he stood up and ran a hand through his hair. "Brian asked you? or did Nick ask you?" Justin questioned. If Nick had asked he would say yes but if Brian had asked that meant that Nick didn't and so there wouldn't be any point in him going.

"Brian asked," AJ said as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "Nick is still asleep."

Justin smiled. "Let's stay in and give Brian and Nick some quality time since Nick missed him like crazy yesterday," he said quietly as he sat down beside AJ and nudged his shoulder.

AJ couldn't help the huge smile that came over his face but tried to hide it quickly because he knew that showed that he hadn't really wanted to go out in the first place.

"So," Justin said as he looked down at his hands that were resting on his lap. This was a little awkward and he didn't know just what to do next.

"You wana make out?" AJ asked, sounding like a sixteen year old boy and that caused him to giggle a little. "You know just make out like we did that afternoon at my place. I don't want to make you do anything, Justin."

"That sounds nice," Justin said as he looked over at AJ. "Don't worry I'll tell you when it's getting to be too much." With that said Justin kicked his sneakers off and scooted back on the bed.

AJ was a little hesitant about doing this on the bed since he could easily find himself getting out of control on the bed, but he shook off those thoughts and kicked off his own shoes. "It does sound nice," he whispered as he scooted so he was sitting next to Justin.

"Well," Justin said as he propped himself on his right elbow and looked down at AJ. He licked his lips as his gaze flickered from AJ's eyes down to his lips. Leaning down, slowly, Justin brought his gaze back to AJ's eyes before closing his them and touching his lips to AJ's.

AJ moaned softly when Justin's lips touched his own. He then moved one hand up to rest on the back of Justin's head and took it upon himself to deepen the kiss by slipping his tongue into his boyfriend's mouth.

Justin continued to kiss AJ as he brought his left hand over to rest by AJ's other side, using that to maneuver his way so that he was straddling AJ without breaking the kiss.

AJ's hands moved down to rest on Justin's lower back as the kiss continued and even managed to get hotter and more intense.

Justin pulled back but continued to kiss down AJ's neck to catch his breath and gently suck on AJ's spot.

"Oh shit," AJ moaned his head automatically tilting to the side to give Justin better access. He had gotten slightly turned on from the heated kissing but it was nothing compared to what just happened when Justin sucked on his neck...on his spot.

Justin chuckled as he kissed up AJ's neck. His lips hovered over AJ's lips as he locked eyes with the other man. He could feel how turned on AJ was and he knew just how turned he himself was.

"God do you know how to kiss," AJ said in a voice that had gone hoarse and husky from how turned on he was. He then couldn't help himself and leaned in for another heated passionate kiss. His hands moved down Justin's back so they were resting on his ass, pulling him as close as he could. He moaned into the kiss when he felt Justin's erection against his stomach...and he knew Justin could feel his own against his ass since he was sitting on his lap.

Justin let his tongue explore AJ's mouth before he got AJ's tongue and started sucking on it. When he was done he nibbled AJ's bottom lip before kissing his way down AJ's neck. He moved his hands so that they were now making their way under AJ's shirt and feeling the heated skin underneath.

Before he really realized what he was doing, AJ had his hands down the back of Justin's track pants, but over his underwear. He moaned again when he felt Justin's hands on his skin and the way he was sucking on his tongue.

Justin pulled back from the kiss and sat back on AJ's waist. He smirked lazily as he let his hands run up and down AJ's defined stomach and chest before pushing the shirt up and licking at his nipples.

AJ's cock twitched in his baggy jeans and he was sure Justin could feel it. "Damn, baby..." he moaned as he used his own hands to just kneed Justin's ass through his boxers as he sucked and licked at his nipples.

"Hmm," Justin hummed at the feeling of AJ squeezing his ass. His heart was pounding and his mind was racing. He let his right hand trail down AJ's chest and to the button of his jeans. He popped the button open before letting his hand under the waist band of the boxers but he didn't move down too much to the point where he would have touched AJ's dick.

AJ broke the kiss so he was just looking into Justin's eyes. His heart was beating a mile a minute and he was trying to keep himself under control.

Justin looked right back into AJ's eyes as he tried to get his breathing back to normal. He swallowed hard as he removed his hands from AJ's boxers. He wasn't ready to go there just yet and he hoped that AJ would understand that. Leaning down he nuzzled their noses together before giving the tip of AJ's nose a kiss.

AJ smiled and moved his hands out of Justin's boxers to just hold him in his arms and snuggle.

"How about we go see if Nick and Brian have left yet and see if they still want us along?" AJ asked, knowing Justin probably missed Nick a little and would like to go with them.

Justin looked down in to AJ's eyes for a second. "You sure?" He questioned. He didn't mind just staying in the hotel room and just relax with AJ and he didn't mind if they went out with Brian and Nick but he wanted to know if that's what AJ wanted. "I don't want you to say that just because we kinda stopped what we were doing," he said as he kissed AJ again for a few seconds.

AJ shook his head and smiled. "I didn't say it because of that, I said it because I wouldn't mind going out with them, I haven't seen Nicky all day and I know you haven't either so I just thought it would be kinda fun."

Justin rolled off of AJ and sat down, indian style, next to him on the bed. "Well, if your positive then, yah, let's give Brian a call and see if they've left yet..."

AJ smiled as he leaned in for another quick kiss before grabbing the phone and dialing Brian and Nick's room.

Justin took in a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves as well as think of something really nasty and ugly to get the hard on in his pants to go away. He looked over at AJ's lap and chuckled. They would need to get rid of these fast before they present themselves.

AJ adjusted himself as he waited for somebody to pick up the other phone. He was beginning to think they had left without them and for some reason that made him feel kinda sad.

Brian and Nick were just about ready to exit through the back way, bodyguards in tow when his cell phone started to ring. He'd asked the main desk to forward all incoming calls to their room over to his cell phone just in case of something important. "Hello?" Brian said.

Justin cleared his throat and whispered to AJ. "I'm gonna go use the bathroom," he said as he got up and walked over to the bathroom to take care of some unfinished business. It wouldn't take that long anyways since he was already near the edge.

AJ nodded his head trying to not show how the idea of Justin jerking off made him feel kinda sad. "Hey Bri...are you guys gone already? I talked to Justin and we decided to come if you guys haven't already left."

Brian laughed. "You caught us just in time, Age," he said as he smiled at Nick. "We're at the back way exit right now, you gonna meet us down here or would you like us to come up for a bit?"

AJ knew that Justin was just getting into the bathroom and wouldn't be done at least for like ten minutes...or be ready to go by then. "Umm you guys can come up here and hang for a few, we're not exactly ready to leave just yet...if that's okay with you." He wasn't exactly sure what he was going to do with his own hard-on but he actually wasn't really that embarrassed about having it anyway. The guys were used to seeing him like that since he used to get hard all the time for no reason at all when he was younger.

Brian looked over at Nick and said, "Hey buddy, AJ and Justin said that they're gonna join us. You wanna go upstairs for a few minutes and wait for them to get ready?" Brian questioned.

"Otay," Nick said with a big smile as they headed back inside. He was happy to be able to see Justin again cuz he missed him. It was the best day in the world when he got to spend equal time with Brian AND Justin.

"Okay, well see you guys here in a few minutes then," AJ said with a smile when he heard Nick's response. With that he hung up the phone and waited for Nick and Brian to come up.
