�Me?� Lance choked out, surprised that his prayers had been answered.

�Yes, you,� Josh replied nervously, �is that ok?�

Lance could sense Josh�s discomfort and wanted to take it all away. �Josh, it�s more than ok. I love you too,� Lance told him. �I�ve loved you for as long as I can remember.�

Josh grinned, not able to stop himself. He didn�t realize he was crying until Lance pointed it out. �Oh,� he said, wiping at his face. �I�m just so happy, Lance. I�ve always dreamed that you�d love me back.�

Lance smiled at his love and pulled Josh in for a hug. �Will you sing the song again?�

�Of course,� Josh responded. He began singing as he and Lance made their way over to his bed. They laid down beside each other, and Lance fell asleep to Josh�s beautiful voice singing into his ear. Life was good.

Joey and Justin woke up the next morning in Joey�s bed. Justin jumped up out of bed and swore as he realized that he�d left Britney for the night. He was sure she�d be suspicious that he hadn�t called and that he�d been in Joey�s room. Unless Wade had taken care of her. He�d have to wait and see at their rehearsals in a few hours.

He climbed back into bed with Joey, cuddling up to his boyfriend�s side. Joey must have felt him stirring because he opened his eyes and smiled down at Justin. �Morning baby,� he said, rubbing his eyes.

�Morning,� Justin replied, closing his eyes again.

�I don�t think I�ve ever slept this good,� Joey told him, unable to keep the smile from his face. Justin had spent the night with him. He couldn�t help but be really happy. Every other time, Justin would stay late, but end up going back to the room he shared with Britney so she wouldn�t be suspicious.

Joey wondered what she�d say, but he didn�t really care anymore. He didn�t care if she found out about him and Justin. It was going to happen sometime, so why not soon? Joey stretched a little and the buried one of his hands in Justin�s curls, massaging Justin�s head slowly.

�Mmm, Joey, that feels so good,� Justin mumbled into Joey�s chest.

Joey just smiled, loving the feel of Justin�s curls. They were so soft and they smelled so good. He inhaled, loving the scent that was Justin. He leaned down slowly to place a kiss on Justin�s forehead before closing his eyes and falling asleep again.

Britney woke up the next morning in a tangled mess of Wade. She sighed happily, remembering what happened the night before. With Justin, she never would�ve been able to do what they�d done. Justin hardly let her touch him. That was no way to act if you were in love. So she knew he wasn�t in love with her.

But was Wade? She couldn�t help but wonder. Wade was a good friend of hers, so she hoped that he wouldn�t just have taken advantage of her when she was upset. She hoped that he really felt something for her. She could see herself falling in love with him.

Wade woke up a few minutes later, feeling a hand rubbing slowly up and down his back. He opened his eyes to see Britney beside him, a smile on her face. He wasn�t really sure how to act because he didn�t want it to be awkward for either of them. So he just smiled back.

�Wade, late night was-� Britney started, but Wade interrupted her.

�Please don�t say it was a mistake, Brit,� Wade pleaded with her.

�I wasn�t going to,� she said with a shy smile. �I was going to say that it was wonderful.�

Wade smiled at that comment before saying, �I am going to have to agree.� He pulled her closer to his body, leaning in to place delicate kisses along her neck.

�Wade, we don�t have time,� she reminded him, giggling. �You have to go to rehearsal with the guys, remember?�

�Yeah,� Wade replied, sitting up with a frown. �Can�t I just skip it?�

�You�re they choreographer, Wade, they need you there,� Britney told him.

�True. But I don�t want to leave,� he whined, a silly pout on his face.

�You can come back later,� she suggested shyly.

�What about Justin, though?� he asked, wondering what she would say.

�I�ll take care of Justin,� she told him, �you just make sure to be here for dinner tonight.�

�Ok,� Wade agreed, wondering whether or not he should warn Justin that Britney was going to break up with him today. He smiled when he realized that Britney was breaking up with Justin for him. He wondered if she would fall in love with him. And he couldn�t wait to find out.

Josh woke up early, not able to sleep even though Lance was beside him. He thought he�d been dreaming when Lance said, �I love you� to him. He thought he was going to wake up alone and miserable. But Lance had still been there when he woke up. And now he was sitting up in the bed, Lance�s head in his lap, playing with Lance�s hair. He couldn�t figure out why it had taken him so damn long to admit his feelings to Lance. �If I�d done this months ago,� he thought to himself. But no, he couldn�t think about the �what ifs.� There were too many of them and they were a waste of time. He sighed, sliding his body down slowly so that he was lying with Lance�s head on his chest, and fell asleep.

Lance woke up an hour later, immediately feeling the warm body next to him. He smiled as he realized it was Josh, and his smiled widened as he remembered what had happened the night before. He wasn�t sure what would happen when Josh woke up, but he was sure it would be good.

He lift his head so it was no longer on Josh�s chest and leaned his head on his hand to watch Josh sleep. He sighed as his eyes roamed Josh�s beautiful face. Josh was the most perfect person in the world, and he wanted Lance. Lance just couldn�t believe it.

He reached up to push back a strand of Josh�s hair that had fallen in his face. Josh�s eyes fluttered open at the touch and he smiled softly when he saw Lance staring at him.

�Good morning,� he said, his voice weighed down by sleep. Lance decided that he loved that voice. He wanted to hear it every morning when he woke up.

�Yes, it is a good morning. The best of my life � so far,� Lance replied, smiling back.

Josh grin widened at Lance�s comment and he pulled Lance�s head down carefully so that their lips met. �I love you, Lance,� he said as they pulled apart.

�I love you too, Josh,� Lance replied happily.

*Two Hours Later*

Joey and Justin were the first to arrive at the rehearsals and Wade came in close behind them with a huge smile on his face. Justin looked over at Wade and whispered to Joey, �he looks way to happy to have spent the night alone.� Justin winked at Joey before making his way over to where Wade was standing. �Hey Wade!� Justin greeted, smiling.

�Hey Justin,� Wade replied.

�You kept Britney occupied last night, right?� Justin asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

�Oh yes,� Wade responded, winking at Justin.

�Good,� Justin said, relieved. He didn�t want to have to explain to Britney where he was last night. Now if she asked, he�d be able to hold something against her too. �Did she mention me at all?� he asked curiously.

�I asked her what she was going to do about you, and she said she�d take care of you. Then she said to be in her room for dinner,� Wade told Justin, unable to keep the smile from his face.

�That�s great Wade. You really like her, don�t you?� Justin questioned, knowing the answer by seeing the look in Wade�s eyes. He looked smitten. �We don�t have to worry about him hurting Britney,� Justin thought to himself, happy that Britney wouldn�t get hurt after all.

�Yeah, I really do like her. I think I may even love her,� Wade confessed in a hushed tone. �But don�t say anything to anyone about it. I�m not sure yet.�

�No problem man, I won�t say a word,� Justin promised, clapping Wade on the back.

Just then, Josh and Lance entered the room holding hands. Justin and Wade looked over at them and Justin smiled. Wade just looked confused. Justin walked over to them with a big smile on his face.

�So you two, huh?� he asked.

�Yeah,� Josh admitted for them, unable to keep the silly �in-love� grin off his face.

�It�s about time!� Justin exclaimed, pulling them both in for a hug at the same time. Joey wandered over to them, wondering what was going on.

�Hey, what�s the big commotion over here?� he asked curiously.

�Josh and Lance finally admitted their feelings towards each other!� Justin explained happily.

�Hey, that�s great,� Joey said, smiling at Josh and Lance.

�How did you guys know how I felt about Josh?� Lance asked, �I didn�t tell anyone.�

�We could see it in your eyes, man,� Joey explained, pulling Lance in for a hug.

�What about me?� Josh questioned.

�Same thing,� Justin told him, �you two and your love-smitten glances.�

They all laughed as Chris came in the door. �Hey guys, what�s so funny?�

�Oh, we�re just talking about how Josh and Lance *finally* admitted their feelings to each other,� Joey explained.

�Ooohhh,� Chris replied, �geez, it took you guys long enough!�

Josh and Lance both laughed, obviously relieved that the other guys were ok with them being together. Wade called them over then, wanting to get the rehearsal started. He winked at Josh and mouthed �congrats� to Lance to show that he approved. They both smiled back at him.
