Remember - V
A week later, the guys had a rare day off.  Justin had made Lance promise that they would spend the entire day together, without the other guys.  Lance had agreed and was able to avoid pouting from Justin because he loved when they spent time together.

They decided to go shopping because Justin wanted to.  He�d brought out that damn pout that Lance had thought he�d avoided, and he couldn�t resist it.  So they were in the car, headed to the mall.  Justin had insisted that they only have one bodyguard so they wouldn�t be very obvious.  He also made Lance wear an ugly old hat, but Lance didn�t argue because he knew he would lose anyway. 

When they arrived at the mall, they wandered around, neither really needing to buy anything.  Justin picked up a new cd that he thought he might like, and then he dragged Lance into Bath and Body Works.  He claimed that he needed lotion. 

Lance rolled his eyes, following him around the store and smelling the random scents that Justin stuck under his nose.  Justin laughed when he sneezed a few times, all the scents together making his nose itch. 

When Lance was sure that they�d smelled every lotion in the store, Justin stuck another one under his nose with a grin on his face.

�Justin,� Lance whined, inhaling and expecting to sneeze again.  �Ohhhh.�

�You like it?� Justin asked.

�Yeah,� Lance breathed out, trying to figure out where he recognized the smell from. 

�What does it smell like?� Justin questioned, seeing that Lance was trying to figure it out.

�Hmmm, I don�t know, but it�s *so* familiar!� Lance exclaimed, deep in thought.

�I know,� Justin told him.

�You do?� Lance asked, snapping out of his trance.  �What?�

�You know.�

�Yeah, but I can�t figure it out.  Just tell me,� Lance said.

�Think some more, you�ll get it,� Justin replied.

So Lance smelled the damn lotion again, looking into Justin�s eyes as he did.  He studied the sparkle in them, the love that he saw there, and then he knew.

Justin giggled as Lance�s eyes lit up.  He knew that Lance had figured it out.

�It�s�� Lance started, trying to keep himself from kissing Justin right there.

�Our flower,� Justin finished for him, smiling brilliantly.

�Yeah,� Lance responded, returning the smile.

�Isn�t that amazing?� Justin questioned, putting the cap back on the sample bottle of lotion.

�It sure is,� Lance replied, watching as Justin reached for a large bottle of the lotion.

�Do you think this is enough?� he asked, holding out the bottle to Lance.

�Justin, it�s a special scent, they won�t have it later if we run out,� Lance pointed out to him.

�Oh shit.  Well, we�ll just have to buy all of it,� he said, motioning to the display of lotion.

Lance giggled.

�What are you laughing at?� Justin asked, making a face at Lance.

�They�re going to think we�re insane, buying the whole damn display,� Lance answered, laughing at the look on Justin�s face.

�Who cares, baby.  This lotion is� special,� Justin responded, opening the sample to smell it again.  He sighed happily.

�Ok, J.  We�ll get it all.  But you have to use it if we get it,� Lance told him.

�Oh, I will.  I think we can find some other way to use it than the obvious,� Justin said, winking at Lance.

Lance rolled his eyes, laughing.  �Such a dirty mind, Justin.�

�Oh, you know you love it.�

�Of course I do.�

�Ok, so are we ready?� Justin asked.

�Yes, let�s go.�

�I love you.�

�I love you too, you big lotion freak.�

Justin stuck out his tongue, motioning to a sale�s person and telling them what he wanted.  The woman looked shocked, but she just smiled and did as he asked. 

It didn�t surprise Lance much when the total was over five hundred dollars, and he didn�t even care.
