| Chapter 22 |
| Joshua woke up and gently slipped out from beneath Lance and went into the kitchen where he saw Shady and Joey, "Hey." "Hey." Shady and Joey replied. "What are you doing in here?" Joshua asked as he got a Diet Coke. Shady smiled teasingly, "Well two body's were occupying the couch and we didn't wanna wake 'em, plus we were hungry." Joshua blushed, "Well Lance is still sleeping but I'm gonna wake him up soon." "Nice singing Joshua." Joey said with a smile. Joshua raised his eyebrow, "What?" Joey's smile turned into a grin, "Well I heard you singing what I'm guessing was Dido since you play her enough and Lance was singing Faith Hill, very loving." Joshua blushed while smiling, "It was a very spontanious thing, he asked me to sing and I asked him to sing." "You sounded great, very emotional." Shady commented. "Did you all here us?" "Yes." Shady and Joey replied. Joshua giggled, "Where's Just?" "He went to play basketball, and before you ask Chris is out with Howie." Joshua grinned, "Wow it's so cool to know he's got a boyfriend, maybe we could meet him?" "Maybe." Joey said. "Well I'm going to wake Lance." Joshua said then he walked out and into the living room. Joshua knelt down so he was face to face with Lance, "Baby-J, Baby-J wake up." Joshua creased his brow thinking then his eyes lit up with the perfect way to wake Lance up. "A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say About the things caught in my mind And as the day was dawning my plane flew away With all the things caught in my mind And I wanna be there when you're... Coming down And I wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and a day... In the time of my life Cos I need more time Yes I need more time Just to make things right Damn my situation and the games I have to play With all the things caught in my mind Damn my education I can't find the words to say With all the things caught in my mind I don't wanna be there when you're... Coming down And I wanna be there when you hit the ground So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and a day... In the time of my life Cos I need more time Yes I need more time Just to make things right Me and you what's going on All we seem to know is how to show The feelings that are wrong So don't go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and a day... In the time of my life Cos I need more time Yes I need more time Just to make things right Dont go away Say what you say Say that you'll stay Forever and a day... In the time of my life Cos I need more time Yes I need more time Just to make things right Yes I need more time Just to make things right Yes I need more time Just to make things right So don't go away" "I won't." Lance replied sleepily blinking up at his love. "Did you have a nice nap sweetie." Joshua asked. Lance nodded, "Uh-uh, how 'bout you." "Yeah, I thought I'd wake you up and that song was in my head so." Lance giggled, "Well if you wake me up like that everyday I could definetely get used to it." Joshua brushed the hair of Lance's face, "Yeah?" "Sure," Lance smiled, "Waking up to your beautiful voice everyday." "I love you." Joshua said a loving smile on his face. "I love you too Mr Mathers." "Well I certainly love you Mr Mathers-to-be." Lance blushed, "What do you wanna do?" "You are so cute Mr Bashful." "Well you're Mr Sleepy." "When I've got you in my arms to sleep with, can I help being sleepy." Lance leaned forward and kissed Joshua with all the love he felt, "Same here Joshua." "Baby-J let's go out." Joshua said. "Yeah? You sure you're up for it?" Lance asked concerned. Joshua kissed Lance's forehead, "Yeah let's just walk around the park." "Ok." Lance agreed and got up and got dressed and met Joshua downstairs. "Daddy we're going for a walk." Joshua shouted. Shady walked out of the kitchen, "Ok, don't be too long." "We won't." Joshua called out happily as he went outside. Lance shut the door and entwined his fingers with Joshua's and they walked hand in hand to the park. Lance and Joshua walked over to the swings and sat on them just slightly swaying back in forth. "Lance?" Joshua whispered. Lance turned to look at Joshua, "Yeah?" "If we get big promise me we will never break up." "I promise with all my heart and soul I will never let anything happen to you and me. I will always remain at your side no matter what." "And promise me we will always stick to our roots and don't get a big ego. That we'll always be the same people no matter what happens to us." Joshua held his hand out, "Deal?" Lance curled his fingers around Joshua's, "Deal." Lance and Joshua stayed that way for a while their hands clasped rocking backwards and forwards before they walked back home. Where their heart will always be. Song used: "Don't Go Away" by Oasis |
