| Remember - IV |
| It was the day before Justin and Lance�s two-month anniversary, and Justin wanted to do something special for Lance. He wasn�t sure what to do, though, so he went to Josh. �Josh, can I ask you something?� �Sure, you can ask me anything, Justin, you know that,� Josh replied as Justin sat down next to him on the couch. �It�s about Lance,� Justin said softly. �Is something wrong?� Josh asked. �Oh no, just the opposite. Everything�s perfect. But tomorrow is our two-month anniversary and I don�t know what to get him,� Justin explained. �Ahhhh. Well, you know what he likes more than I do, Justin,� Josh told him, not really sure what Justin could get for Lance. �Oh, Josh, you have to help me. I don�t know what to do!� Justin exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes. �Justin, calm down, we�ll think of something,� Josh assured him with a small smile. Justin waited for him to say something else, for him to suggest something. �Oh! If I said something about the flower that got you two together, would you know what I was talking about?� Josh questioned. �Yeah, did he tell you about that?� Justin asked. �Well, not much *about* what happened, but I know what it looks like,� Josh explained. �What about it?� �Remember the other night when Lance and I went to the art gallery?� Josh asked. �Yeah.� �Well, Lance saw a painting there that he really loved. It had that kind of flower in it, and he didn�t stop staring at it for five minutes. He had this goofy look on his face,� Josh told Justin, smiling as he remembered how happy Lance had looked. �So you think I should go buy it for him?� Justin questioned. �Yeah, I think he would absolutely love to have it,� Josh answered. �Ok, will you come with me to buy it? It�ll be faster if you show me where it is,� Justin replied. �Sure,� Josh agreed. **** The next day, Justin woke Lance up excitedly. �Baby, wake up,� Justin said, jumping on the bed and successfully waking Lance up. �Hmmmm?� was Lance�s reply. �Happy anniversary, baby,� Justin said happily, leaning down to kiss Lance quickly. �Happy anniversary to you too. Why are you up so early, Justin?� Lance asked. �I had to get your present ready,� Justin replied, leaving the room for a minute and coming back in with a tray filled with breakfast foods. Lance grinned at his lover. �Awww, you made me breakfast?� �Yep. I hope you like it,� Justin told him, sitting down next to Lance. Lance�s grin got bigger when he saw the flower that was in a blue vase on his tray. It was their flower. �I love you, Justin.� �I love you too, Lance. I have something else for you,� Justin said, hopping up from the bed. �You didn�t have to get me anything, Justin, you know that,� Lance told him. �Yeah, I know. I wanted to,� Justin responded, bringing the painting that he�d purchased the night before into the room. He carried it over to the bed, and then he finally let Lance see what the painting was of. Lance�s jaw dropped and then he grinned. �Come here,� he said, pulling Justin into his arms. �I love you.� �I love you too, Justin, thanks so much for the painting.� �It was Josh�s idea.� �I figured, but I�m so happy you got it for me. Every time I look at it, I�m going to think of you,� Lance admitted. �Well that was kind of the point,� Justin replied, giggling. Lance joined him, laughing as he hugged Justin again. |
