~*~
Joey walked into the house and hopped on the couch. He ran a hand through his hair and shook his head. Justin walked in.
�Joey?�
�Hey. What have you been doing?�
�Just working out.�
Joey looked at his boyfriend and eyed him appreciatively. �Get over here.�
Justin smirked and walked over to Joey. He crawled on top of him and kissed him passionately.
�Hi.�
�Hi.�
�Are we alone?�
�Yep.�
�Awesome.� Joey ran his hands up and down Justin�s sides as they kissed.
Justin moaned softly and ground his hips into Joey�s, smirking getting a moan out of him.
�Oh God, Justin.�
�Yes?� Justin gently nipped at his neck.
�I want you.� Joey panted.
�I know.� Justin kissed him passionately and Joey pulled him closer.
They heard the door open and broke apart, panting heavily. Justin straightened out his shirt and Joey discreetly put a pillow in his lap.
JC and Tyler looked at them weirdly.
�Please tell me you two weren�t doing what I think you were.� Tyler said twirling a basketball on his index finger.
Justin coughed and Joey blushed.
JC rolled his eyes. �Man, Lance and I aren�t even that bad.�
�By the way, where is your boy?� Joey asked.
�Taking Chris�s little sister to the movie. Come on, Tyler, I�m going to show you how much my skills improved since I was thirteen.�
�Don�t lie!�
They ran out back and Justin looked at Joey. He leaned over and gently bit Joey�s earlobe. �Later.� He got up and walked away.
Joey gulped and tried to get rid of the straining in his pants.
Later that night, Lance and JC walked into the kitchen and blushed under the scrutiny of their friends.
�We were just talking.�
�Yeah. I guess talking involved Lance screaming out yes, yes, and oh God don�t stop?� Chris said dramatically.
Lance swatted him on the head and JC blushed. They sat down and Joey walked in.
�Okay, guys, who wants smores?�
�I do!� Lance said excitedly.
�Same here.�
�Me!�
�Don�t forget me!�
�Who are you?�
Chris strategically flipped him off. Justin watched his boyfriend.
�What are you doing?� He asked.
�Heating up the marshmallows.�
Justin looked at his friends then at Joey. �Joey.� He stood up and ran a hand through his hair. �You know, when I was a lot younger, a wise young man once told me that the only way to make those�� He stopped, put his hands on the counter so Joey was trapped and grinded against him once and stayed there. �Was on an open fire. And I plan on keeping that little information real.� He licked at Joey�s lips, grabbed the bag of marshmallows and walked out the door. Joey gulped. Lance�s jaw dropped. JC just stared. Chris drank his water heavily and looked away.
�Um�Justin�s a bit�um�who was that?� Lance asked.
�I think Justin�s at that stage�I don�t�oh.� Joey looked at them.
Joey walked into the bedroom and smiled. �There you are.�
Justin looked up. �Hey. I�m sorry about how I�ve been acting. Just lately every time I see you, I�ve just been wanting to jump you and I can�t help myself!�
Joey walked over to him and sat across from him. �Baby, it�s normal. It�s called sex, buddy. We had this talk.�
Justin smiled. �If someone had told me my future boyfriend would be telling me the birds and the bees, I�d laugh.�
�You didn�t know you were gay, Justin.�
Justin smiled. Joey leaned over and kissed him. Justin cupped his face and kissed him back. Their kisses grew passionate and needy. Justin pulled Joey on top of him and their bodies filled with electric heat.
�Joey�oh�Joey, make love to me. Please.�
�Yes.� Joey kissed down his neck and gently pushed his shirt up. Justin ran his hands through Joey�s hair and pulled him closer to him. Joey pulled away to pull Justin�s shirt off. He pulled off his own shirt and bent down to kiss down Justin�s body. Justin panted underneath him and sweat beaded down his chest. Joey followed the droplet with his tongue. When he got to the button of Justin�s jeans, he unbuttoned them and pulled down the zipper, pleased to find that Justin was already hard. He pulled down Justin�s boxers and smirked.
�You�ve gotten bigger since the last time I saw you like this, Justin.�
�Yeah, yeah now shut up and let me feel your mouth.�
�Feisty.� Joey bent down and gave Justin his first blowjob.
�Oh God. Joey, I�m gonna�oh�oh�OH!� Justin shot inside Joey�s mouth and panted. Joey crawled back up to Justin and kissed him deeply. Justin kissed him back and rolled him over.
�My turn.�
Joey�s eyes filled with lust. Justin traveled down his body and did exactly what Joey did to him only he stopped halfway.
Joey whimpered and Justin kissed him before pulling Joey on top of him.
�Make love to me. Now. Please, baby, please!�
Joey kissed him and their tongues mingled together as Joey prepared himself and gently slipped inside of Justin. Justin gasped at the feeling of Joey inside of him and moaned loudly as Joey thrust in and out of him.
�Oh�oh, Joey. Oh God, oh my�oh!� Justin watched Joey and Joey bent down to kiss him.
�I love you.�
�I love you too. Oh�Joey, I�m gonna�come with me baby please.�
Justin yelled out Joey�s name as Joey yelled out his and Joey collapsed on top of him in a sweaty heap.
�Oh Justin.� Joey slipped out of him, threw away the condom and cleaned them both up. He lay back down and Justin put his head on Joey�s chest. Joey wrapped his arms around Justin and kissed his head. �Are you all right, baby?�
�Yes. Oh, Joey, I love you so much. So damn much.�
Joey chuckled and held Justin has he fell asleep.
In the next room, Chris smiled as he listened to his blasting headphones. In the other room, JC and Lance tried not to laugh at the sounds of their best friends making love.
�Wow, I think they were louder than us.� JC said.
�Oh baby, nobody is louder than us.� To prove his point, he made love to JC for the first time while Joey and Justin slept and Chris kept on sighing and blasting Metallica through his headphones.
~*~*~*
�I suppose Joey gave you the time of your life.� JC said the next morning.
Justin blushed and looked down.
�Oh my gosh! Details!� Lance said.
�Lance!� Chris said.
Justin laughed. �He was just�I can�t even describe it. You know how when you said JC made you feel like sparks were flying over your head and you saw all the colors of the rainbow in the sky? Like that.�
Lance smiled. �I�m so happy for you.�
Justin smiled and looked up as Joey walked down. �Hey.�
�Hi.�
He leaned up and kissed Joey passionately. Lance, JC and Chris all smiled at them.
~*~*~*
Lance gently let his feet step on the warm wood as he watched the waves of the ocean. He sighed and put his head on his arms. JC walked over and wrapped an arm around his waist. No one was around so they could be a little bit romantic. Joey and Justin were out with Justin�s mom and Chris was at the house.
Lance sighed and looked at JC. �This was my mom and dad�s favorite beach spot.�
JC smiled. �I can see why. It�s beautiful.�
�They took us here all the time. I always wanted to come back but it was so hard.�
�Why now?�
�Because I want you to know what my life was like before everything changed.�
JC rubbed his arm and Lance turned his face upward to him. JC bent down and kissed him passionately. Lance lifted his hand and tangled it in JC�s hair. Their tongues mingled together and JC kept a protective arm around Lance. They pulled away and their foreheads touched.
�You okay?�
Lance nodded. �As much as I can be, yeah.�
�Don�t worry, baby. I�m here now. I�m not going anywhere.�
Lance smiled. �Good.�
~*~*~*
Justin, Joey, Chris, JC and Lance walked out and smiled at the fans. They walked up to Carson.
�Hey guys, how are you?�
�We�re great. I just got over a cold but everything�s fine.� Chris said.
�Yes. We�re done with cranky Chris.� JC rolled his eyes.
�Careful, Chasez, I know where you sleep.�
JC smirked.
Carson laughed. �Anyway. It�s been quite a while since you have been in New York. Your last time?�
�JC�s birthday in 2001. We went up to the Trade Center.� Lance said.
�Ah. You were up there before?�
�Yeah. Justin never got around much so it was exciting for him and when he went up again, it was great for him.� Joey said.
Justin smiled.
�Okay. Now. You guys got permission to do a version of You�ll Be In My Heart. We�re about to premier the video for it. What kinds of things are in this video?�
�Um, well, lots of things. Lance�s home is in it. The orphanage, Joey�s house, everywhere we�ve been is in this one little video. It starts off with Lance taking Justin�s hand and then they get to Chris, Joey, and eventually me. There�s a moment Lance has in the video where he shows how emotional is was for him.�
Lance smiled. �Yes. I don�t want to spoil.�
�Well, let�s see it. Justin?�
�Okay. This video is based on true events by all of us. Everything you see here, happened.�
�Get your hankies ready.� Joey said.
�Because you�ll need it.� Lance said.
�Now, here is our video.� JC said.
�You�ll be in my Heart.�
The video started and the first thing you saw was Lance running out of the hospital, looking scared. He looks back and then runs. Justin�s voice starts and Lance reaches for Justin�s hand. Justin looks at him, scared, before taking it and they run off.
Come, stop your crying,
It will be all right.
Just take my hand,
Hold it tight.
Everything that has happened to the guys goes through the video and each time, the guys hold out their hands and the hands join. When they get to JC, Lance bends down to him and holds out his hand. JC stares at him before taking it and allowing Lance to pull him up. Justin, Joey and Chris soon join.
I will protect you
From all around you.
I will be here,
Don't you cry.
For one so small,
You seem so strong.
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm.
This bond between us
Can't be broken.
I will be here,
Don't you cry.
Memories of playful fun and laughter are played. Then come the hard parts.
'Cause you'll be in my heart,
Yes, you'll be in my heart,
From this day on,
Now and forever more.
You'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say,
You'll be here in my heart, always.
JC comforting Lance. Lance comforting JC. Everyone holding each other. Then, Lance walks up to a gravestone and collapses to his knees in front of it. He puts his flowers down and tears fall down his face as he touches the stone.
Justin stands in front of the orphanage, his hands clenched in anger and fright. His mom walks up to him and takes his hand. Justin smiles.
Joey walks up to his parents and stares at them. They nod before hugging him.
Chris is running to a house. He stops and knocks. Five women run out to greet him and he hugs all of them as tight as he can.
JC walks up to a nice little house and knocks. A man opens and smiles before letting him in. JC goes in and hugs Tyler and Heather close to him.
Why can't they understand
The way we feel.
They just don't trust
What they can't explain.
I know we're different but,
Deep inside us
We're not that different at all.
And you'll be in my heart,
Yes, you'll be in my heart,
From this day on,
Now and forever more.
Lance climbing the stairs of a train. Hopping in. Justin, JC, Chris and Joey running after him. Lance pulls them in. Joey wraps blankets around them. JC wraps his arms around
Chris and Lance while Justin stays close to Joey. They look like vulnerable kids but happy as they sing and stay close to each other for comfort.
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know?
We need each other,
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time,
I know.
When destiny calls you,
You must be strong.
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on.
They'll see in time,
I know.
We'll show them together.
'Cause you'll be in my heart,
Yes, you'll be in my heart,
From this day on,
Now and forever more.
Oh, you'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say,
You'll be in my heart, always,
Always.
At the end, all five guys walk up to each other, smile, and then hold hands in a circle.
The camera went back to the guys. There was not a dry eye in sight.
�Wow. Just. Wow.� Carson said.
Joey smiled. Thanks.�
�It was weird recreating that. The man who opened the door is actually Tyler�s adopted father. He�s really nice. He treats Heather, Tyler and me like we�re his own.�
�That�s really nice. Lance, were you all right having a camera on you during that private moment?�
�At first no, but we decided that it would be good.�
�What was the hardest thing for you guys in making this video?�
�Um, probably going into the alley ways because they were so small and you�re trying to get cameras to follow us. It was pretty crowded.� Joey said.
�Now JC. The question.�
�Oh boy.�
�You�re gay right?�
�Yes, I am.�
�Are you in a relationship?�
JC looked at his friends and Lance. Lance bit his lip. JC could tell he didn�t want anyone to know yet.
�Yes, but. I want to keep it private for his sake because we�re both not ready.�
Only Justin, Joey and Chris saw Lance�s body sigh with relief. They saw some fans giggling in their seats and pointing at Lance and JC.
Lance already knew they knew so when the camera was off him, he winked and nodded. They grinned. He looked away and blushed. JC rolled his eyes.
After the interview, Joey wrapped his arms around Justin and Justin leaned into his touch.
�Hey.� He kissed behind Justin�s earlobe.
�Hi.�
�You okay?�
Justin nodded and looked at JC and Lance, whom were holding each other close. Chris was on his cell phone with his mom.
�We�ll be okay.�
~*~*~*
JC walked up to the gravestone and bent down.
�Hi Mrs. Bass. It�s Lance�s birthday today. I�m going to give him something special. I�m just not sure if he�ll like it�or want it. I just�I need a sign. You know, to make sure the timing�s right.�
JC smiled as a wind blew against his face. �Just as long as I know what I�m doing.�
He got up, kissed the stone and left. He walked along the pavement and sighed softly. He went down to the coffee shop and got a mocha. He walked towards the house when something told him to go into the alley. He looked around before going inside. He kept on going until he got to a brick wall. Suddenly, words started appearing on the bright red brick. JC smiled.
�Thank you.� He ran away and back towards the house.
�YOU BELONG TO HIM, JC.�
JC walked into the house and went upstairs. He smiled seeing that Lance was sleeping peacefully. He walked over and sat on the bed. Lance stirred and opened his eyes, smiling.
�Hey you. Where have you been?�
�Asking your mom something.�
Lance raised his eyebrow. �Oh yeah?�
�Yeah. It was important and�I needed a sign.�
�What is it, C?�
�Lance, I love you so much. You�ve given me everything I could ever hope for. That night that you found me, I was scared I was going to die. Then you showed up and you brought me back to life. I think I loved you from the beginning. We�ve been through so much, baby. I love you more than anything.�
Lance gulped. �Go on.�
JC sighed and took his hand. �Lance will you marry me?�
Lance smiled and kissed JC passionately. �Yes.� He whispered.
JC smiled and pulled out the box. Lance held up his hand as JC gently slid the ring onto his finger. JC gently stroked his hand and kissed Lance again. Lance pulled JC on top of him and JC ran his hands along his lover�s body.
~*~*~*~*
Justin walked outside with his soda and saw Chris sitting on the lawn chair, staring up at the stars. Justin walked over and pulled another chair over. Chris looked at him and smiled.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Are the others asleep?"
"I think Joey's in the shower. Lance and JC are sleeping."
Chris nodded. Justin looked at the pool then at Chris.
"Hey."
"Hmm?"
"I was wondering...when Lance and I told you who we were when we met you, why didn't you send us back? You had all the time in the world to do that. I mean, you could have gotten a reward money and you could have made a new life for yourself. Instead, you let us go with you. Why did you do that?"
Chris looked at Justin and sighed. "In a way, I felt sympathy for you. My sisters were taken to foster homes and I never saw them again. Lance was scared of that and so were you. I didn't want you going through that."
Justin nodded. "I just think you could have done something better."
Chris noticed a tear in the twenty-one year old�s eyes. "Hey, Justin, come here." Justin got up and Chris hugged him tightly. "Justin, I didn't want any money. I just wanted to do something. I wasn't about to be the bad guy and send a twelve year old and a ten year old back to where they came from. If I had, you'd never forgive me. I'm glad I didn't take you back. I wouldn't switch for anything else."
Justin nodded. "Promise."
"Cross my heart."
Justin sighed. "I'm going to go upstairs."
"Bye Justin. Sleep good."
"You too." Justin got up then turned. "Hey Chris?"
Chris turned to him.
"Don't sleep in an alleyway again like last time. You scared us." With that, he went inside.
Chris watched him then smiled.
~*~*~*
�Look at this suite.� Joey said in awe.
�Shit.� Chris said.
�What the hell did we do to deserve this?� Lance asked touching the silk sheets of the bed.
�We�ve been in rooms like this. But�this is huge!� JC said dropping his bags.
�It�s not just huge. It�s�whoa! Guys, check out this view!�
They guys ran out to the balcony where Justin was. Joey wrapped his arms around his lover and kissed him behind the ear. Lance and JC held each other close and smiled while Chris held onto the bars beside them.
�Wow. This is so cool!�
�Yeah.�
Justin looked up and saw a shooting star. �What did you guys wish for?�
�What, baby?� Joey asked.
�That night, around the time you were sick. What did you guys wish for?�
�I wished I could see my sister and brother.� JC said softly.
�I wished I could see my mama.� Lance sighed. JC kissed him.
�I wished my mom was happy.� Chris looked at them.
�I wished I could stay with you and never go back.� Justin giggled softly as Joey nibbled his neck.
�I wished we could be famous.�
They all looked at Joey.
�All of our wishes came true.�
�Except mine.� Lance said.
�Lance, you did see your mama. In your dream, remember baby?� JC asked.
Lance looked at him and smiled. �Yeah. I did.�
Later that night, the guys decided that Lance and JC would get the master bed, Joey and Justin got the second largest and Chris got the smallest.
Justin groaned in his sleep and opened his eyes. He sighed and turned to Joey.
�Joe? Joey?� He didn�t wake up.
Justin sighed and got out of bed. He slowly crept over to Lance and JC�s bed and crawled in beside Lance.
�Mm. Justin, what are you doing?� Lance asked tiredly.
�Couldn�t sleep.�
�Joey�s there.�
�He�s not up, though.�
Lance groaned and turned away, snuggling against JC with Justin against his back.
Half an hour later, Chris tossed one more time before sighing. He got up and went to JC and Lance�s bed, smiling seeing that JC and Lance were curled around each other while Justin was beside them, buried in Lance�s back. He shook his head and got in next to JC.
JC groaned and turned. �Chris? What are you doing up?�
�Couldn�t sleep.�
�Oh.� He turned and closed his eyes. �When did Justin get here?�
Chris smiled. �Night JC.�
�Night.�
They fell back to sleep.
An hour and a half later, Joey opened his eyes and groaned. He turned and reached for Justin. When he didn�t feel Justin�s body, he opened his eyes. He glanced up and noticed it was 3:45.
�Justin?� He got up and went outside. �Justin?� He looked over at JC and Lance�s bed and from the little light, he could make out JC and Lance sleeping with their arms around each other and behind JC was Chris, his back against JC�s, and buried in Lance�s back was Justin. Joey smiled and crawled in beside Justin. He wrapped his arm around Justin, pulling him to him. �Night baby boy.�
�Mm. Night Joey. Love you.� Justin mumbled.
�Love you too.� Joey kissed his neck and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Lance opened his eyes and groaned. He was squished. �What the��
He turned and saw Justin and Joey sleeping peacefully. He smiled and turned back to JC and saw Chris behind him. He giggled.
�When did we turn into sandwich meat?�
�Lance? Your sense of humor is very dry.� Chris mumbled.
Lance sat up and shook his head. He reached over Joey and Justin�s bodies to get the phone. He sat up and dialed the phone.
�Hi, this is Lance Bass in room 545 and I�d like to order room service? Um, two orders of blueberry waffles, one order of chocolate pancakes, some French toast and bacon, also eggs, toast and ham, along with some Apple Jacks. Also, to go with those, three orange juices, one glass of chocolate milk and some coffee with Hazelnut. Thank you. Bye.� He hung up and put the phone back. He kissed JC softly and carefully crawled out of bed. He got changed into jeans and a red t-shirt. He brushed his teeth and went over to make the beds. He heard a knock on the door and went over to get the food. The man rolled the cart in and Lance took the trays and paid. �Thanks. Bye.�
He shut the door and put the food on the table. He heard a small moan and turned, smiling seeing Justin sit up.
�Cereal�s here.�
Justin smiled, even though grumpy, and got out of bed. He smiled at all of the food and began eating his cereal.
�The pancakes are for you.�
�Thanks, Lansten.�
�No problem. I�m going to wake the others.�
Justin turned and smiled. �Joey joined us?�
�I guess so.�
�Then I didn�t dream him saying he loved me.�
Lance chuckled and went over to Joey. He shook him gently and Joey opened his eyes.
�Hey. Breakfast is ready. Go sit with your boy.�
Joey beamed and got out of bed. He kissed Justin and took some blueberry waffles. Lance crawled onto the bed and over to JC. He kissed JC tenderly. He smiled feeling JC kiss him back.
�Mm. I smell breakfast and a very sexy boy.�
Lance giggled. �Blueberry waffles, just for you.�
�How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.�
Lance laughed and JC got out of bed. Lance grabbed a pillow and whacked Chris with it. Chris groaned and hugged the pillow while Lance just laughed. Chris opened one eye and shook his head.
�Come on, old man. Breakfast awaits.�
�Yeah, yeah.� He got up and went to the table.
�Morning. Now tell me, how did all five of us end up in the same bed?� Joey asked.
JC crinkled his brow. �I just saw Justin.�
�I think you were out by the time I got there.�
�Well, there have been plenty of photos taken, somehow, of all five of us crushed against each other sleeping, maybe we just needed to be close to one another.� Justin said.
�Possibly.� Lance stroked his chin.
They all laughed.
Later that day, Justin and Lance sat in chairs, waiting to start the interview.
�Lance, let me see the ring again.�
Lance laughed and showed it to him.
�Jeez! The most we could have gotten as kids would be a ring from the vender.� Lance giggled.
�Justin?�
�Yeah?�
�Would you be my best man?�
Justin grinned. �I�d love to!� They hugged each other tightly then let the make up people fix their make up.
Soon, the interview started and Barbara Walters sat down across from them.
�Hello, I�m sitting with the two youngest members of the hottest group, NSYNC. Lance Bass and Justin Timberlake. We will be talking to the boys about their lives growing up and the circumstances leading up to their meeting.�
