| Josh smiled at Lance as he picked up the phone, "Hello?" "Josh?" Josh's eyes widened, "Kevin?" "Yeah Josh it's me." Kevin replied nervously. "Um, yeah, er, h-hi." Josh said and reached over and wrapped his arm around Lance. Lance smiled and snuggled closer giving Josh his support. "Hey, you, er, talked to Brian?" "Yes. He's coming up at the weekend, I mean, you're both coming up at the weekend." "You want me there?" "You don't want to be there?" Josh asked confused. "No, no I do. I just, I need to know that you want me there." Josh took a deep breath, "Sure I mean you're my cousin y'know, of course I want you there." "Cool." Kevin bit his lip before speaking again, "Josh, I'm sorry about what I said about you guys in the beginning I was pissed at you and Lou, I'm really sorry." Josh smiled and shook his head [[I must be in the twilight zone]] "You're forgiven." Kevin released the breath he was holding, "Thank you." "So you coming up then?" "Yeah, so how you doing? I heard about your car accident." "I'm fine, just a few sprained ribs, concussion and a sprained ankle and wrist I'll be fine by the time the tour starts up again." "I'm glad," Kevin started fidgeting nervously. "Kev just ask him." Brian whispered. "Josh?" Kevin said. "Yeah?" Josh said. "Are you, you are, what's with..." Brian snatched the phone from Kevin, "What my innept cousin is trying to say is, are you gay?" Josh's eyes widened, "W-what?" "Are you gay? And are you with Lance? Because you two have a unique chemistry that just isn't friendship." Brian asked. Josh turned panicked eyes on Lance, "Yes, no, maybe, I don't, I don't know." Lance saw the pleading look in Josh's eyes so he took the phone, "Kevin what the hell did you ask him?" "Hey Lance this is Brian, and I asked him if he was gay and in a relationship with you, is it true?" Brian asked. Lance licked his suddenly dry lips, "Yes. I am in love with your brother and we have been together for a couple of weeks." Brian smiled then wrinkled his brow, "A couple of weeks? No way it has to be longer 'cause I've known about you two for years." Lance smiled and chuckled, "We have been together for a couple of weeks, we have been in love with eachother for years. To be honest I only figured it out the day your brother said he would be mine." Lance smiled at Josh and reached for his hand. "Wow. Congratulations man, just so you know I'm fine with it so's Kevin." "And Howie?" Lance asked. "How did you know?" "You knew about Chris and Howie right?" Brian laughed, "Yeah those two were so in love but I could always tell Chris had a soft spot for Joey." "Really?" Lance asked, wondering how Brian knew about them. "You could see it and so could Howie, but there bestfriends now." "I guess I'll have to get to know you then seeing how I'm dating your brother." "Sure you coming with Josh at the weekend." "Yeah, that okay?" Brian laughed, "Yeah that's cool, seeing as your kinda like my brother-in-law 'n all." Lance blushed [[What I wouldn't give to marry Josh]] "Okay, well I'll talk to you later Brian." "Bye." Brian said then hung up the phone. Lance turned to Josh a smile lighting up his face, "You okay darlin'" Josh returned Lance's smile, "Yeah it's just...kinda weird. I mean Brian is my brother, just need some time to get used to it." Lance brought his hand up to Josh's sculptered cheek and tenderly caressed it, "You take all the time you need and remember I'll be right there with you." Josh smiled lovingly and brought his hand up to cover Lance's, "I know. Hey why don't we go see your parents as they're not far away." Lance smiled his heart bursting with love for Josh, "Darlin' we don't have to..." "I want to," Josh squeezed Lance's hand, "I always loved your parents, when we were just beginning and your mom travelled with us she was like my second mom, I love her." Lance kissed Josh hardly believing this amazing man was his. Josh smiled into the kiss and brought his hand up to Lance's face as he deepened the kiss tasting the amazing taste of Lance. Lance eagerly welcomed Josh's tongue and in return reached out with his own to taste the wonderfully gorgeous taste of Josh. Josh pulled back and looked lovingly into Lance's mesmerizing green eyes, "I love you sweetheart and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you happy." Lance smiled and looked into Josh's hypnotizing blue eyes, "I love you too darlin', and I promise you I will make every dream of yours come true and I will give you everything you ever desire." Josh kissed Lance again and looked around at the rest of the guys, "Do y'all wanna go to Lance's parents?" "Sure I'd love to see 'em, it's been a while." Justin said. "I think we're gonna stay here and enjoy some quiet time together." Chris said smiling as Joey arms snaked around his waist. "Ok. We'll probably be a couple of hours unless my mom invites us to dinner then we'll be longer and y'all can be alone for a while." Lance said smiling at how happy they both were, then he looked at his love and felt more happy then he'd ever been in his entire life. Josh feeling eyes on him and turned to look directly into the gorgeous green eyes of his love and he smiled at the love he saw in that gaze, "I love you baby." Lance's face brightened as he heard those words, "I love you so much Josh." Josh pulled Lance into an amazingly sweet kiss, "Let's go my love." Lance wrapped his arms around Josh and breathed in his delicious scent and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm ready to go." Justin giggled behind them, "You two are so sickenly sweet now get your asses out the door." Lance and Josh laughed and walked to the door, "See you guys later." "Bye." Joey and Chris waved as they left and proceeded to fall into eachother. "So Lance are you gonna tell your parents?" Justin asked as they began walking to Lance's parents house. Lance bit his lip and unconsciously moved closer to Josh, "I don't know, I-I want to, but I don't know how they'll take it." "Baby do it when your ready and not a second before." Josh said. Lance looked over at his beautiful boyfriend and smiled, "Ok. I really want to do it though, I'm, I'm just scared." "When your ready love, and when you do I'll be right by your side." Lance gave Josh a loving smile, "Thank you darlin' I'm gonna need you there." "Then I will be." Josh said as they reached Lance's parents house. Justin, JC and Lance walked up the path and knocked on the door. Diane opened the door and smiled widely hugging each boy, "Oh! James, Joshua, Justin how are you?" They smiled at the warm welcome and stepped inside hugging Jim as he came to see them. "We thought we'd drop by and see you." Lance said. "How are you Joshua?" Diane asked looking at JC with caring eyes. "I'm doing good Diane." Jc said smiling at her. "Would you boys like to stay for dinner?" Diane asked as she walked them into the living room. "Sure we'd love to." Lance says then tensed as he remembered this was where he found out about Josh. Josh noticed Lance tense and went over to him, "Lance what's wrong?" "This is where I found out you were hurt Josh." Lance whispered blinking back tears. "I'm okay James," Josh gently touched his arm and whispered, "I love you." Lance smiled and looked into those amazing eyes that he loved and whispered back, "I love you too." "Come on." Josh said taking Lance's arm and walking him to one of the chairs an he sat next to him, close but not too close. Diane saw it all and smiled as she saw the love and care between them [[I'll tell James that I know tonight]] "So what have you boys been up to?" Jim asked. "Nothing much daddy, just hanging out." Lance said smiling as he felt Josh's hand brush his fingers. "Joshua how was your birthday sweetie." Diane asked. "It was great, the guys surprised me with a party it was so cool." Joshua replied beaming. "I took him out so that the guys could get the house ready." Lance said. "Are Joseph and Christopher here?" Diane asked. Justin nodded, "Yeah they wanted some time alone, so they're at Lance's house." "Joshua have you talked to your brother?" Diane asked. Joshua blinked at her for a moment before answering, "Yeah he's coming down at the weekend." "That's great." "So what have you guys been doing?" Justin asked. "Nothing much, work, the usual." Jim answered. "Joshua James can I speak with you a moment." Diane asked [[It's now or never]] "Sure mama." Lance said as he got up and followed his mom, Josh walking behind him. "What's wrong mama?" Lance asked. "Is everything okay Diane?" Josh asked. "Everythings alright." Diane took a deep breath to calm her nerves, "James I overheard your converstion with Joshua when you came back from the tour." Lance froze then whispered, "W-what?" "I heard you say you loved him, do you? Are you gay James?" "Mama..." |
