| Chris' Advice |
| �Hey Chris?� �Yeah, J?� �Can I talk to you?� Justin asked. �You are.� �You know what I mean. Please, Chris? This is serious,� Justin practically begged. �Ok, sorry. You�re serious. So what do you want to talk about?� Chris asked. �Josh.� �What about him?� �Just, well, him.� �Ok, so talk about him.� �This isn�t going how I planned,� Justin said, sighing. �What did you plan?� Chris questioned. �I�m gay,� Justin stated, his eyes widening when he realized what he�d said. �You are?� Chris replied, looking into Justin�s eyes to make sure he was serious. �Do you think I�d joke about something like this?� Justin snapped. �Woah, sorry. So you aren�t going to confess your love for me now, are you? Because I don�t swing that way,� Chris said. �No, not quite. Remember what I said I wanted to talk about?� Justin asked. �Um, Josh?� �Yeah.� �So?� �God, Chris, are you that dense?� �Sorry. So you�re gay, and you want Josh?� �Yeah. Is that ok with you?� �Sure, it doesn�t change you, Justin. But what about Josh? Is he gay?� Chris asked. �That�s the thing, I don�t know!� �Well, find out!� �How?� �Ask him?� Justin�s eyes widened. �I can just ASK him. He�d think I-� �Like him? Isn�t that the point?� Justin glared. �Can you be serious here. I need help.� �Ahem, sorry. Why did you come to me anyway?� �I don�t know, Joey was asleep, and Lance was busy,� Justin told him. �Well, make me feel special.� �Hey, you asked.� �Yeah, but you could�ve lied to make me feel good about myself.� �Oh, shut up. Back to the reason I came to talk to you. What should I do?� Justin asked. �Well, you could either be a pussy and keep pining in secret or-� �Hey, I�m NOT a pussy.� �Ok, you�re chicken.� �NO I�m NOT.� �So do it.� �Do what?� �Tell him,� Chris said simply, rolling his eyes. �Now who�s being dense?� �Shut up. And I can�t just tell him!� �I thought you weren�t chicken.� �I�m not!� �Then do it!� Justin just sighed. �I dare you.� �You dare me? What is this, fifth grade?� �Hey, if that�s what I need to do to get you to confess and stop bugging me, then so be it,� Chris teased, grinning. �Oh, I hate you.� �Nah, you love me. Well, not like that. Anyway, go tell him now.� �NOW?� �Yeah, why not?� �Because I�m�� �Scared?� �No! Well, kinda.� �It�s ok, Justin, I swear, he�s not going to hate you.� �How can you be sure?� �You�re his best friend.� �True. So I can do this, right?� �Yes, now DO it!� �Ok, here I go. Wish me luck.� �Good luck. Tell Josh I said hi.� �Ok, bye.� Chris rolled his eyes as Justin left the room. But he had a smile on his face. **** Justin stood in front of Josh�s hotel room door. He�d been standing out in the hall, trying to get the courage to knock on the door, for at least fifteen minutes. He finally raised his hand to knock, when the door opened. Josh smiled when he saw Justin standing there. �Hey Justin, what�s up?� �Hey. Not much. Were you going somewhere?� �I was going to go ask Joey something, but it can wait.� �Oh, ok. I think he�s asleep anyway.� �All right. So what�s up?� Josh asked as they entered his room. �I need to talk to you about something.� �Ok, what is it?� �Can we, um, sit down or something?� �Sure,� Josh replied, sitting down on the couch. Justin sat down next to him, trying to keep his hands from shaking. He was really nervous. And Josh could sense his nervousness. �Are you ok?� �Yeah, I just have something kinda big to tell you.� �Ok,� Josh replied, waiting for Justin to say something else.� �Well, let�s see� how do I say this? Um, I � you see, I�m.� �Spit it out, Curly.� Justin smiled at the nickname before saying, �I�m gay, Josh.� To say Josh was shocked would�ve been an understatement. �You ARE?� �Um, yeah.� �Woah.� �Is that a bad woah or a good one?� �Don�t worry, it�s not bad. But seriously? I�m shocked. What happened to Britney?� �Just a cover up. She�s my best friend. And it�s good publicity for her,� Justin explained. �Wow. I never would�ve guessed.� �So you�re ok with this?� �Of course. I�m bi, Justin, of course it�s ok. I know how you feel if you know what I mean.� �You�re bi?� �Yeah.� �Since when?� Justin questioned, not able to believe what was happening. �Do you really want to know?� �Yeah,� Justin replied, a little confused. �Since I met you,� Josh said, smiling. Justin was rendered speechless. �Since you met me?� He had the urge to say �awwwwwwww,� but decided against it. Why hadn�t he realized how completely sweet Josh was? �Yeah,� Josh replied, embarrassed, but grinning anyway. Justin decided that he liked Josh�s cheeks when they were flushed. �That is so�-� �Cheesy?� �No, I was going to say sweet,� Justin replied, unable to keep the smile from his face. �Oh. Well that�s better than cheesy.� �It�s ok. I like cheesy too.� �Ok. Would it be cheesy if I asked you if I could kiss you?� Justin grinned. �Kinda.� �But since you like cheesy-� �Just kiss me already, Josh.� �Ok, if you say so.� Their lips met in a sweet kiss. It was too short for both of them, but they knew there would be many more. They were interrupted then by a knock on the door. Then they heard Chris� voice yell, �Hey! Are you guys together yet?� Josh rolled his eyes. �He always interrupts at the worst times. Justin just shook his head and laughed. �He�s the one that helped me do this, so I can�t hold a grudge.� Josh smiled. �Well, we shouldn�t let him bother us, right?� �Nope,� Justin replied, leaning in for another kiss.
