�Hey beautiful,� called JC, while walking over and placing a kiss on Lance�s lips. �Ready to go home?�
�Yes,� nodded Lance with a smile. �I want out of here! I�m sorry I trashed your car though.�
�I don�t care as long as you�re alright,� replied JC softly. �Besides now I have an excuse to buy you a new one. I�m going to go find the nurse to see if I can spring you from this joint. Okay?�
�Okay,� smiled Lance and JC kissed him again before exiting the room. Savoring the kiss, Lance closed his eyes and didn�t open them again until he felt the presence of someone entering the room.
�Back so soon?� joked Lance opening his eyes but he didn�t find JC, he found Joey. �Umm . . . hey. Where are Randy and Eric?�
�Still sleeping,� replied Joey sitting down next to Lance. �Why didn�t you tell us?�
�Tell you what?� asked Lance although he knew what Joey was referring to.
�That you�re gay.�
�I don�t know,� sighed Lance, struggling to hold back his tears. �Everything just happened so quickly. I didn�t even know until I met Josh, I couldn�t handle it if you guys turned on me.�
�Lance, you�re my best friend,� whispered Joey giving him a tight hug. �And that�s not going to change just because you�re dating a guy now.�
�Thanks, Joey,� replied Lance softly. �How are Randy and Eric taking the news?�
�They�re a little weird with the whole thing but they don�t hate you,� grinned Joey. �Eric can�t understand why you would want to give up women. Although I can�t understand that one either.�
�I�m in love, that�s why,� smiled Lance, thinking about JC, and Joey had never seen his friend happier. �I love Josh so much.�
�I love you too,� came a voice from the doorway and both Lance and Joey turned their heads to find JC standing there which a smile on his face.
�Am I free yet?� asked Lance in a pitiful voice, pouting at his boyfriend.
�Yes,� chuckled JC, walking over and placing a kiss on those pouting lips before turning his attention to Joey. �Do you need a ride somewhere or did you drive yourself?�
�I took a cab here to leave the car for the other two to use,� explained Joey. �But it�s okay, I can take another cab back.�
�Come with us,� begged Lance. �We�ll invite the others over and have a party.�
�Only if you take it easy,� ordered JC. �You freaked me out yesterday.�
�I�m sorry,� sighed Lance. �The last thing I want to do is hurt you.�
�I know baby,� whispered JC, kissing the top of Lance�s head.
*~*~*
Twenty minutes later the three of them were pulling into Lance and JC�s driveway. �Home sweet home,� sighed Lance happily as they drove past the gates.
�This is home?!?!� exclaimed Joey. �Screw Chicago, I�m moving in with you guys!�
�Sorry Joey,� laughed Lance. �But you wouldn�t like living with us.�
�Why not?�
�It can get noisily at night,� replied Lance, blushing.
�Only at night?� asked JC with a grin and Lance blushed redder.
�You go Lance!� cried Joey punching him lightly in the shoulder. �Kinky bastard.�
�I think I liked it better when you didn�t know,� sighed Lance but he had a smile on his face.
�I�m serious about moving to Florida though,� replied Joey changing the subject. �Send out some of my demos. See if I can get my lucky break.�
�Talk to Chris this afternoon,� suggested JC. �He may sign you. Plus I�ll be willing to help you out with my connections.�
�Cool,� nodded Joey, vowing to do just that.
*~*~*
Four months later.
�How�s the album going?� Lance asked Joey as they sat out by the pool of his and JC�s place. In the past four months Joey had moved in with Justin who had been looking for a roommate, signed with Chris and had started working on his first album.
�Really good,� smiled Joey. �We�re still deciding on the first single though. I�ve discovered that C is a perfectionist.�
�It took you four months to figure that out?� laughed Lance. �Have you talked to Eric and Randy lately?�
�Yeah,� replied Joey grinning brightly. �You�ll never guess who their new roommate is!�
�Who?�
�Brady!�
�Brady? Our Brady? The ones that we went to school with and now works at the newspaper who pretty much was out to ruin my life? Really?�
�Yep,� grinned Joey. �Apparently he and his girlfriend broke up and she kicked him out of their apartment. Eric�s driving him nuts!�
�Good,� laughed Lance. �Part of me wants to thank him though.�
�Why?�
�Well if he didn�t slam me in those articles and me and Abby had gotten together, I would have never ended up with Josh, so I�m better off.�
�You two are so in love it�s sickening,� chuckled Joey.
�You�re just jealous,� teased Lance. �You want Josh for yourself!�
�Yeah, cause he�s so dreamy.�
�I�m way out of your league Fatone,� spoke a new voice from the doorway.
�Hi babe,� smiled Lance seeing that his lover was back from his meeting. �Good-bye Joey.�
�Yeah bye Joe,� murmured JC as he bent down and kissed Lance on his lips who melted into the kiss right away.
�Bye guys,� laughed Joey, waving good-bye leaving the lovers to themselves.
