Sweet, Southern Boy

Lance was born and raised down south, Mississippi to be exact. When he�d joined *Nsync, he�d been teased by the guys because of it. Well, except for Justin. Because Justin was a southern boy himself. At the beginning, Justin was the one who became friends with Lance first. Justin and Lance had stuck together because they were close in age. The younger ones. They�d hung out and watched movies many times while the other guys went to clubs and bars.

Lance would always go to Justin when he missed his family and friends. Lance would tell Justin what was wrong, which usually ended in tears. Justin would hold Lance until he stopped crying, whispering soothing words in Lance�s ear.

Lance remembered the day that Justin had kissed him for the first time. He would never forget that day. He�d just finished crying after talking about how much he missed his family, his house.

He�d said to Justin, �Oh God, I am such a mess, how do you deal with me complaining about my life all the time?�

�I think you look beautiful. And I like to listen to you. The time we spend together is so special to me, Lance,� Justin had answered, looking for acceptance in Lance�s eyes.

Lance had smiled in response and closed his eyes when Justin�s hand had reached up to brush all the tears away.

Justin had kept his hand in place and leaned in so their lips just barely touched. So soft, so delicate, and leaving them both wanting more. But they had both pulled away, afraid of how the other would react.

Lance has smiled when he�d seen Justin�s eyes still closed peacefully. That had been a sign that Justin was ok with what had happened. Lance hadn�t been sure that Justin had really meant to kiss him or not. But he had figured that Justin�s eyes wouldn�t have been closed if he hadn�t liked the kiss.

And before Justin had had a chance to open his eyes, Lance had kissed him again, and again, and again. Justin had moaned in pleasure, but they hadn�t gone any father.

Each time they were alone after that, they would experiment with new things since neither had been with another man before. Both of them were hesitant to have sex because they didn�t want to feel weird around each other. But one night, it happened.

Lance had gone to Justin to talk, and they�d ended up fooling around. They�d gotten to a certain point where neither of them was able to stop themselves. They lost the ability to think clearly, or to think of anything but the pleasure they were feeling. They had both been very nervous, but seeing each other nervous had calmed them a little bit.

The sex had been great that night, and every night since then. They had experimented a little the first night, because neither one was sure who should be on top. Lance ended up on top, loving the sound of Justin�s voice, begging for him to go harder, faster. Sex with Justin was very physically and emotionally satisfying. Justin was soft and sweet, and always willing to help Lance out.

Perhaps the best part about the sex was the period after. He and Justin would just lie there together and talked. They usually joked around, making fun of each other and giggling like crazy.

Ever since the first night they�d been together, they�d grown closer and closer. They could fool around, having fun, and then turn completely serious. Lance liked the fact that he could depend on Justin to lift his mood. He knew he�d always keep memories of his and Justin�s time together close to his heart.

But not too close.
