| Who Do You Love More, Josh? |
| Lance, Justin, Joey and Chris were sitting in the dressing room at the venue for their lastest concert, they were chatting about random things until Lance asked, "Do any of you know what's up with C?" "Nothing as far as I can tell, he's still his same old spazzy self." Chris answered, he cared for JC even though they didn't really talk anymore. "Chris I'm serious. He doesn't seem detached y'know not talking much?" "He's probably in one of his funks, he'll be fine y'know how he is. Joe you remember that funk he had on MMC? He was major bad for like a week then he was his happy self again. You know C." Justin replied, he liked to think he knew JC better than anyone; which he probably did. "What makes you the expert on all things JC?" Joey asked, he likes to think he knows JC better then Justin; he might have he's known him longer. "I know him better then any of y'all!" Justin stated proudly he knew all of JC's deep, dark secrets. "I've known him longer!" Joey states smugly. "So? I know him better!" "I was the first person he met when he came to Orlando!" "And? I got to know him on MMC and even better during these years with *NSYNC." "My mom loves him like a son!" "So? So does my mom coz he practically is, he's like my brother." "He's all of our's brother." "He's more of a brother to me coz; 1- My mom loves him, 2- My dad loves him, 3- Jonathon and Steven totally love him, he's like their second big brother." "He loves me more than you!" "I don't think so, he totally loves me best." "You'd like to think that wouldn't you Curly?" "I am gonna kick your ass Fatone." "Go ahead JuJu, you think you could beat me up? I'd like to see you try." As Justin and Joey got ready for a fight, no-one noticed that Lance wasn't there he had escaped to the bathroom where he was curled up into a ball crying his eyes out [[Everyone knows him better than me. He'll never love me, not the way I want him too and never the way he loves Joe and Justin]] Lance thought as he pulled a picture out of his wallet; it was 6 years old taken back when the group first got together, it was just Lance and JC posing for a picture, JC had his arms around Lance's neck and the most beautiful smile you would ever see and Lance was leaning into him with a blissful expression on his face [[Why did you have to call me? If I'd never got that phone call I would of never met Josh and never fell in love with him]] Lance thought, causing a horrible pain to rip though his chest [[Life without Josh I couldn't even imagine it and I don't ever want too]]. Justin and Joey were still fighting when Jc came in and asked, "What is going on here boys?" Justin and Joey looked at JC and both shouted, "Josh who do you love more?" "What?!" JC asked in shock, he didn't know what the hell they were talking about. "You love me more right, coz we've known eachother longest; I'm your oldest friend!"Joey said, sticking his tongue out at Justin. "No way! You love me more cuz I know you so much better and you're practically my brother." Justin said, smirking at Joey who just sclowled at him. "I love you guys all the same." JC lied as he very obviously loved Lance more then any of the guy's and him and Chris don't even talk anymore. "I beg to differ Jc, you love someone better. Now who is it?" Chris asked, it bothered him that the don't talk anymore, C used to be one of his best friends and now he was more like a business associate. "No-one y'all are my brothers." JC said kinda nervous, he knew Chris wasn't stupid he would figure it out [[Damn phsycology degree]] JC cursed silenty. "Y'all? You have been spending way too much time with Lance." Justin stated. "No I haven't! And Ju you're southern too, your accent seeps out occasionly." Jc said smiling at how Justin pouted; he reached over and ruffled Justin's renewed curls, "Aww don't worry Curly Fry I still love you." "More?" Justin asked hopefully, and Jc just gave him a look; he pouted and muttered, "Not fair." Jc laughed, then noticed that Lance wasn't in the here, "Hey guy's where is Lance?" The guys looked around with blank faces, "He left?" Joey asked, he hadn't noticed Lance leaving. "I think he left while you two were fighting over who knows, loves or whatever's JC more." Chris said, he sorta noticed Lance slip out but he was too busy watching the two disciples of Jc fighting that it got pushed to the back of his mind. "I'm gonna go look for him." Jc said as he escaped the room and headed for the bathroom, [[Hey it's worth a shot]] Jc reasoned. He opened the door and called out softly, "Lance?" Lance looked up in panic from the floor when he heard the beautiful voice of his love [[No I can't let him see me like this]] Lance thought, as he was about to scrub his silent tears away Jc spotted him. JC's eyes widened when he saw Lance with tears falling down his cheeks, he emmediately went over and put his arms around him, "Aww Honey what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Lance tensed for a moment before crumbling and wrapping his arms possessively around Josh and crying into his neck; that gorgeous neck he's fantasized about kissing. "Sssh Baby, it's ok. I'm here." Jc tried to soothe Lance without much success. As soon as Lance heard 'Baby' come out of Josh's mouth he tightened his hold and cried harder [[There is no way Josh meant that in a non-platonic way, he's just trying to comfort me. Oh God I can't do this anymore, I can't be so close to the man I love and not be with him, this is killing me I have to know either way; I have to tell him. God please don't let him hate me, I don't think I could survive his rejection]] Lance thought as he settled more comfortably into Josh's embrace. "Lance what's wrong?" Jc asked, he was worried Lance hardly ever cried. Lance clung on to Jc and cried out, "Everybody knows you better'n me and everyones known you longer'n me, I can't take it anymore hearing them say 'you know C' and realizing that I really don't." "Aww Sweetie, is this because of what Justin and Joey were fighting about? If it is then let me tell you something, Joey and Justin don't know me better then you." "Josh..." Lance started then was cut off by Jc putting his finger over Lance's lips. "Sssh let me finish, please?" JC asked and Lance just nodded, "You know me better Lance then any of them, Joe and Jus have a part of me that you could never touch but that's because they experienced a different part of my life it doesn't mean they know me better. You defenitly know me better then Chris as we don't even talk anymore. Y'know Lance this argument aint new, do you how many times they've had this argument over who knows me better? And over who I love more? All I ever seem to be doing is stopping them from fighting. Lance you know me better then anyone, just because you haven't known me as long as the others doesn't mean you don't know me better cause you do. You had to learn me Lance, they had it easy because we were friends and told eachother everything, you had to learn me y'know, which makes you special then any of the others. You know me best Lance, this I promise you." JC said with emotion, and as he stared into Lance's watery green eyes he leant down and gently brushed his lips against Lance's then rested his cheek on top of Lance's head. Lance was so surprise to feel JC's pouty lips on his that he just stared at him then when he pulled away he timidly spoke, "J-Josh? the reason I-I got so upset about them fighting a-about knowing you better and longer was because I, I'm." Lance swallowed [[God this is harder than I thought]] "Is because I'm in love with you." Lance braced himself for rejection he could already feel tears swimming in his eyes, but what he got shocked him; he felt those beautiful lips press against his kissing him sweetly and lovingly. When Josh pulled away he whispered against Lance's lips, "I'm in love with you too." Lance looked at him with hope in his eyes, "Really?" "Yeah, I have been in love with you for years." Lance smiled through the tears and said, "Yeah, me too." Josh and Lance moved as one and kissed eachother lovingly and passionately each knowing they would be together forever. THE END |
