Chapter 12: Confessions
The guys were all seated in Chris' suite. They had arranged the group
meeting to be held there. Justin and JC sat beside each other, clueless as to
why they would be having a meeting. Everything seemed fine. Performing was
better than ever, no one was fighting, no one had any objections to anything
on tour, at least they thought so.
"Chris, what's going on?" Justin asked finally.
"I'm gonna get to that now," Chris said. "Apparently, someone saw you
two kissing and holding hands yesterday. Now, I wasn't there so I don't
know, but I want to know what's going on. I'm not gonna be upset, and I'm not
making any complaints or judgments. This is to fulfill our curiosity."
Justin sighed and ran a hand through the short curls of his hair. "Ok,
fine, I'm gay. There you go. I'm flaming gay. Are we done here?"
Chris was taken aback by Justin's reply. "Are you serious, J?"
"Yes, I am. Personally I don't care what you guys think of it because
it won't change things. As for JC and I, yes, we did kiss, and I would
willingly do it again."
There was an awkward silence that filled the room. No one knew what to
say after that.
"I conclude that this meeting is adjourned," Justin said as he took
JC's hand in his. He stood up. "Come on, baby." He helped JC to his feet and they walked out of the room.
The other three men just watched in amazement. The same thing went
through each of their minds..."baby?". Never did they think that anyone in the
group would be gay, let alone Justin. JC, maybe, but Justin? That came as a
shock to all of them. What if JC brainwashed him? No, he would never do
anything like that. Besides, Justin seemed to know exactly what he was doing.
Joey was tired of the silence, so he got to his feet. "Ok, does anyone
else wanna become gay? Maybe we'd start a trend." He looked to Chris and saw
him shake his head. Both he and Chris looked to Lance.
Lance looked up to both of them. "What?"
"Lance, are you gay?" Joey questioned.
"No!" Lance said defensively. "Of course not."
"No need to get your panties in a twist, man. It's just a question."
"Joey, I'm not gay. I have a girlfriend for Christ's sake."
"Ok, ok, I was just asking."
"And I don't wear panties..."
Joey rolled his eyes. "Why do I bother picking fun at you?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
JC and Justin lay upon the bed in Justin's suite, cuddling together. JC
held Justin protectively in his arms. Justin was turned to face his lover.
He placed a small kiss upon JC's lips and smiled.
"How'd it feel?" JC asked.
"How'd what feel?"
"Coming out."
"Scary as hell," Justin said with a chuckle.
JC smiled. He was proud of Justin and admired his strength. "You did
well."
"Thank you." Justin placed another small kiss upon JC's lips.
"I was actually surprised you did it," JC commented. "I thought you'd
deny it."
"I've come to the conclusion that if I'm gonna do something, I
shouldn't be ashamed of it. I'm not ashamed of being with you."
JC smiled at Justin's reply. He liked Justin's philosophy and agreed
completely with it. This time, JC kissed Justin, but this wasn't a
small kiss at all. This kiss was soft, sweet, and very passionate. He loved Justin so much. This was one relationship he was not going to let go.
