Fate Will Gather Us Together Chapter Nine By Sophie V. (wind_phoenix@hotmail.com)
DRING! DRING! DRING!
Brian groaned as he heard the phone ringing. It was the 'wake up call'. Each guy had his phone ringing three times, which meant that it was time to get up. Even if today was a day off, they must at the restaurant in time for the breakfast.
"I'm coming..." he mumbled, his eyes still closed. He was tired because of last night. The concert... and the threesome.
His eyes opened immediately as he remembered that. Nick and Gene were there for that last night and they all fell asleep in each other's arms. But something was strange. He didn't feel their bodies pressed against his anymore. He put himself on his elbows and looked at each side. They weren't there.
"They're up yet?" he wondered.
He sat up and then felt something wet. Under the blanket. He switched on the lights, pulled off the blanket... to see his boxers wet.
"Oh shit..." he muttered "I'm wet... god I hate that!"
He got up and pulled them off. He also remarked that there weren't any wet spot on the bed and that it looked like that he slept alone in the bed last night. He frowned and looked at his wet boxers then back at the bed.
"Great! It was ONLY a wet dream!" he said angrily. "Nick and Gene all for myself? Nooo, only in a dream!"
He pulled the boxers beside the bed and walked in the bathroom, a bit mad. He walked in the shower, turned the water on and washed himself. As he done that, he couldn't help but to remember that... and especially the fact that Nick was in his dream.
"He said that he was bi and had feelings for me..." he said to himself. "My god, it was so real! Did Nick really had feelings for me?"
There was a lot on his mind. Not only that this dream seemed so real, but also the fact that Nick said also that he loved him. Everything was fake or...
"Don't be happy, Brian." He said to himself "You had made wet dreams where there was Nick too, in time. He said 'I love you' also..."
He sighed as he exited the shower and took a white towel to dry himself.
"It was only a dream... I had feelings for Gene but Nick doesn't have feelings for me."
He brushed his teeth quickly and went back in the room to dress. He opened his one of his bags and took a pair of white boxers, a pair of baggie blue jeans and a blue sweater. He smiled as he looked at it. It was a souvenir from a trip in France. The sweater was made in different shades of blue, to marine blue to dark blue, and 'Futuroscope' was written in dark blue near the top on the right. Nice clothes.
"Nick had the same in dark green..." he whispered. His smiled faded slightly as he thought at him. He really liked the threesome and knew that because of what he had done in the dream, he still had feelings for his best friend.
"You must forgot that, Brian." He whispered "You have Gene and that's enough. The dream was ONLY a dream and nothing else."
He dressed quietly, took his keys and exited the room.
"Gene and I are a very good couple. That's enough for me."
"Mmmm... Oh yes..." whispered Nick, lying in his bed. He was moving in his bed, having a hot dream. He was actually leaning toward one of the end of the bed. If he continued to move, he'd fell soon.
"OH BRIAN!! YES, TAKE ME!" he moaned more loudly. He rolled over and...
BOOM!
"Uh? What happened?!" he said, confused, looking at the ceiling. He sat up and found that he was on the floor, with wet boxers.
"Oh, shit... a wet dream... again!" he groaned as he got up. He took off his boxers and put them beside his bed.
The phone call had woken him up earlier, but he fell asleep one more time... and was having a very interesting dream. It wasn't the first time that he was moving in his sleep and that he fell on the floor. It even happened one time when he was sharing a room with Brian. Fortunately, Brian was deeply asleep and he only heard him when he fell on the floor, not when he was moaning his name.
"I wonder what he'd say if he hears me?..." he whispered as he went in the bathroom. He quickly took a shower, dried, brushed his teeth and exited the bathroom.
As he dressed up, he couldn't help but to think at Brian. He was tired of hiding his feelings for him and afraid that Gene might interested him. Of course, Gene told him that he didn't want Brian, but he could have lain. He wanted Brian to be his, not Gene's. His thoughts moved to something that happened yesterday afternoon. When Gene was beating their records, he thought he saw Brian looking at him proudly and something different in his eyes... like lust or something.
"Come on, Nick, you're getting..." he stopped dead. He should stop thinking that it was just his imagination. Everything could happen. It could be the same for Brian or Gene or both of them.
He stood a moment, just thinking. Then he walked toward a table, took his keys and exited the room.
"Tonight... yes, I'll tell him my feelings tonight!" he thought, decided but slightly afraid.
Brian walked toward one of the table of the restaurant where were Kevin, AJ and Howie. Nick wasn't here yet.
"Hi guys." He said
"Hi Brian." Said the others.
"Sleep well?" asked AJ.
"If you knew, AJ..." thought Brian. "Yes, pretty well... where's Nick?"
"Probably still in bed." Sid AJ, smiling "You know how he is... so lazy..."
"Yes." Said Brian, smiling. "But it's cute also." He thought
He shook his head at this thought. He was with Gene and Gene was a perfect boyfriend. He didn't need another boyfriend. "What a silly thought! Two boyfriends? Yeah, right, too stupid!" he thought, shaking his head.
"You're okay?" asked Howie, seeing his attitude.
"Yeah... just a bit tired, I guess." He lied. He looked at Kevin who was looking at him. Kevin looked at another table across the restaurant. Brian followed his gaze and saw Gene with Mark, Denis and Fred. He looked back at Kevin and nodded. Kevin understood what he meant and nodded too. AJ and Howie were too busy to talk to each other to see that.
"Well..." said Brian "I'm going to take my food."
With that, he walked away.
"You should have seen his face!" said Mark, laughing "I thought he was going to pee in his pants!"
"You know, you shouldn't be so rude!" said Gene, laughing also "He didn't do that on purpose."
"Hey! Nobody can touch to my drums and especially to dirty them!" said Mark, sternly. But with his smile, it only made the others laughed.
"Anyway... I was a bit surprised to see that you sleep in your bed last night, Gene." He said "Why weren't you with Brian?"
"What do you mean?" asked Gene, thinking that Fred and Denis didn't know that he was dating Brian.
"You know what he means, Gene." Said Fred "We know you date Brian."
"What?! You know?" said Gene, shocked.
"I told them after we talked, yesterday morning." Said Mark, receiving a glare from Gene.
"You don't have to be angry, we don't mind." Said Denis. "We just hope that you're careful around Nick."
"Sorry..." said Gene "But you don't have to worry... well, actually you can since I didn't tell Nick yet."
"When are you going to tell him?" asked Fred.
"I don't know..." said Gene "I preferred to talk about it with Brian, first."
"Yeah, it would be better." Said Mark as the others nodded "So... why weren't you with him, last night?"
"I was tired..." said Gene "And I had some stuff to do..."
"Gene..." said Denis "Except us, nobody know about you and Brian, right?"
"Wrong." Said Gene "Kevin knows."
"When did you tell him?" asked Fred
"Actually... I didn't tell him... he caught us while we were kissing..." said Gene
"Oh oh." Said Mark, grimacing "What did he say?"
"He was shocked but he didn't mind as long as Brian was happy."
"Sure... since what happen with LeighAnn..." said Fred.
"It'll never happen again, don't worry." Said Gene, knowing the full story.
They all nodded as they quietly continued to eat their breakfast.
"Finally!" said Kevin as he saw Nick coming toward them with his tray "You made it!"
"Yeah..." said Nick "I hate the wake-up calls..."
"Don't worry, you can sleep this afternoon." Said Howie "We have the day off."
"Speaking of that, do you know what we'll do tonight?" asked AJ
"Yes." Said Brian "Gene knows a club where we'll all have fun, tonight. He said that he even knows some people in it."
"Sounds good." Said Nick as he sat beside Brian. Brian looked at his tray and saw that there weren't much food. Only two toasts and one glass of orange juice.
"You're not hungry?" he asked.
"No... I just start a diet." Said Nick. He hen looked at Brian, and whispered: "Uh... Tonight, I'll tell you something really important, Brian."
"Something?" whispered Brian, curious.
"You'll see tonight after the club, okay?" simply said Nick before he started to eat his breakfast.
"Okay." Said Brian as he continued to eat his breakfast. "I wonder what happen..." he thought, looking at him.
Kevin looked at Brian and then at Nick, sighing. "It's not gonna be good..." he thought.
Much later,
"So, is everyone ready?" asked Kevin
"Yes, we are, daddy." Said AJ, grinning. "You remember exactly where is it, Gene?"
"Yes, don't worry." Said Gene "I can't forget that."
They all smiled and walked out of the hotel. Gene was surprised to see a limousine waiting in front of the hotel.
"A limousine?" he said, surprised.
"Yeah, why?" said Nick, smiling "You never went in it, before?"
"No, but I guess that it's not a problem." Said Gene as he followed his brother in it. "I just thought that we'll get a taxi."
"It's not a problem." Said Kevin after everyone was in the limousine.
"Where are we going, sir?" asked the driver. Gene told him the address and leaned back in his seat, smiling.
"You look excited!" said AJ, smiling.
"Yeah!" said Gene, grinning "Can't wait to see my old friends! I didn't see them since... I don't really know, but it was a long time ago!"
"You sure that they'll recognize you?" asked Howie. "Your hairs are brown."
"Don't worry they will." Said Gene "You're gonna like them."
"We hope so!" said Brian as the others nodded.
During the trip, Kevin, AJ, Howie and Nick started a conversation while Gene was talking to Brian.
"So, you're agree with that?" whispered Brian "We'll tell them tonight, after the club."
"Yes, it's a good idea." Said Gene "I just hope everything will be okay."
"Don't worry, Gene." Said Brian "I'll be there."
Gene smiled and nodded. Yet he was a bit nervous. But he couldn't help it. He just hoped that Brian was right and that the others would accept them. "Especially Nick..." he thought.
A few minutes later, the limousine stopped and one by one, the boys exited it and looked in front of them the club called 'Life's Club'. There was only a big door with above it a sign saying 'Life's Club', in many colors. They couldn't really tell something about it, but as they saw people entering and exiting the club while laughing, it seemed that everyone was having a good time.
"Come on, guys!" said Gene, grinning "Here we go!"
They all followed him and entered in the club.
They entered in a lobby when they paid the entry: 5$ per head. After they paid and gave their coats to keep, they walked in the only but big room of the club. It was gigantic with two stages. The second one, where was the bar and many tables for two, three, four, five or six people, and where were Gene and the boys, and the first floor, which was below the first one, where was the dance floor. There were some pools on the dance floor, which was HUGE, and there were many couch all around it. There was also a stage for the karaoke, people who wanted to dance on and the DJ. There was many spot lights in many colors (blue, green, yellow, orange, red, purple...) and a lot of balloons and paper chains, all in different colors, on the two floors. The bar was huge (about 300 feet, 9-10m) and had all kind of drinks. There were a lot of people tonight. It seemed to have a big party.
"Wow! That's huge!" said AJ, smiling.
"Yes it is." Said the others.
Gene smiled widely as he saw his favorite club so far. He looked at his left and saw someone walking toward them.
"Hey!" he said to get his attention. The BSB looked at the same direction as him and were shocked to see a man, about 5'9'', dressed in a slinky dark green dress, with elbows-length green gloves, blacks tights and black shoes with high stiletto heels. He was wearing a black wig and had a lot of make-up. When the man saw Gene, he put his hands on his cheeks and looked at him surprised as Gene did the same.
"My god, he's so cuuute!" they cooed at the same time. They both laughed and kissed each other on the cheeks as Nick and the others looked at them mouth opened.
"How are you, Gene?" asked the man in a girly-boy voice.
"I'm fine!" said Gene "And you, John? I didn't hear you for awhile, now."
"Oh, I'm really fine, sweetie." Said John "I'm glad that you're here tonight. You're alone?"
"No, I bring some friends with me." Said gene as he showed the BSB to John who looked at them surprised.
"My god! The BSB! They're cuter in reality than one TV." He cooed, causing them to blush lightly. He then looked at Nick and said.
"Oh my god! I totally forget how much you look like the young blondie!"
"Actually, it's my twin brother." Said Gene. John looked at him surprised as he nodded.
"My god, I didn't know." He said as he walked toward Nick who looked embarrassed. "You know, cutie, since your Gene's brother, you'll have a reduction on the drinks!"
"Er... thanks." Said Nick, blushing.
"Well... I must be ready for my show." Said John to Gene "I'll see you later!"
"No prob! Later!" said Gene as John smiled to him and walked away while walking as a model would in a defile. The sight made Gene to giggle a little before he looked at his brother and friends. They were looking at him confused, shocked and embarrassed.
"Er... Gene... where did you take us?" asked AJ "Not to a gay club, uh?"
"Good question." Said Kevin as the others nodded.
"No, don't worry." Said Gene "This club welcomes every people: straight, bi, gay and lesbian. John, that you just saw, is one of the dancer of this club and he loved to dress up."
"I saw that. He talked in a funny voice." Said Howie.
"Does he kiss and call 'sweetie' everyone?" asked Kevin.
"Only his closed friends like me." Said Gene "But you don't have to worry about it. You'll have a great time, tonight."
"Is it a special day today?" asked AJ, looking around him "There're a lot of things and people."
"No, it's always like that." Said Gene, as he started to walk toward a table. "Follow me."
The guys immediately followed him and stopped at a table when there're two couches enough with enough places for them. A few seconds later, a woman, dressed in short black skirt and a small blue tank top walked toward them.
"Can I have your order sir?" she asked, smiling.
"I'll take a beer." Said AJ
"Same for me, Janine." Said Gene, smiling. The woman looked at him and smiled.
"Hey, Gene!" she said "How are you? It's been a long time since we saw you there!"
"I'm very fine, I just had a job as a guitarist for a group." He said, smiling. "I came here with some friends."
"That's great, honey!" she said, smiling. Then she looked at the others. "Since you're his friends, you won't have to pay your first drinks! It's offer!"
"But... we can't accept." Said Kevin.
"Yes, you can." Said Janine "Don't worry, we all know Gene here and beside, he's popular here!"
"Oh." Said the others, surprised, as Gene blushed a little. Janine smiled and asked:
"So? You want other drinks?"
"I'll take a beer too." Said Nick, causing his band mates to look at him surprised.
"You're not drinking beer." Said Kevin, sternly.
"Please, Kev." Pouted Nick "I'm almost 21. I can drink beer! Pleeaase..."
"Okay, but only one!" said Kevin "After, you'll have to wait until you're really 21!"
"Deal!" said Nick, smiling.
"Well, I'll take a beer too." Said Brian.
"Me too." Said Kevin ad Howie.
"Alright." Said Janine "It's coming!"
Then she walked away. The others looked at Gene, questioning. Gene looked at them, a bit confused.
"What?" he said.
"You're very popular here?" said AJ
"Yes." Said Gene "All the people who work there know me very well... I did a lot of stuff there, like karaoke and other..."
"Okay..." said the others. Then they saw two men walking toward them, smiling.
"Oh oh." Said AJ, seeing them "I hope they didn't recognize us."
"Hey Genie." Said one of them "How are you, man?"
"Hi Rich, hi James." Said Gene, smiling "I'm fine and you?"
"Very." Said James "Today, Rich and I celebrate our two years-old relationship!"
"That's great!" said Gene. The others looked at him and then at Rich and James, confused.
"They're gay?" whispered AJ.
"Look like." whispered Brian.
"By the way..." said James "Why the Backstreet boys are with you? And you know, you look like more to Nick!"
The guys looked at them, a bit shocked, and Gene just giggled.
"I'm their new guitarist." Said Gene.
"That's great!" said Rich, smiling. He looked at them and then back at Gene, frowning.
"Where's Jeff? You let him at your hotel?"
Nick, Kevin and Brian immediately looked at Gene, worried. They expected what they saw. Gene didn't smile anymore.
"Hey." said James, worried "Is something wrong?"
"Jeff died two years ago." Said Gene, a sad look on his face.
"Oh god!" gasped Rich as he and James went to hug him "I'm sorry, Genie. I didn't know. Why didn't you tell us sooner? We could have been there for you."
"Sorry, but I was too depressed." Said Gene "But it's okay, now. I get over it."
Rich and James nodded and released him.
"Remember that we're here for you, okay bro?" said James.
"Yes, thanks guys!" said Gene, smiling at the two lovers. The boys nodded and walked away, hand in hand.
"They're gay, Gene?" asked AJ.
"Yes, and together for two years, now." Answered Gene.
"That's great for them." Said Brian "They look good together."
"As long as none of them try to touch me, there will be no problems for me, either!" said AJ as the others laughed. Nick looked at Brian, smiling.
"That's cool! He seems to respect gay people. I have more chances, now." He thought, happy.
Three hours later...
The party was great. A lot of people were dancing, along with AJ, Nick, Brian and Gene. John, Gene's friend, was dancing with other boys, also dressed up. Howie and Kevin were just talking and laughing, watching the others dancing. AJ was currently dancing with two girls. Since he knew they were lesbians, he knew he couldn't have problems if Kevin saw him. He wouldn't give him the 'Amanda-lecture'. As for Gene, Brian and Nick, well, they were dancing not far from each other. A few minutes later, Nick stopped dancing and walked toward his brother.
"I'm going to take a drink, you want to join me?" he asked, loud enough to make Gene heard him.
"No, thanks, I'm not thirsty." He said, smiling as he continued to dance. Nick smiled and walked toward Brian, who was now sitting on one of the couches which surrounded the dance floor.
"Bri! You want to drink something?" he asked.
"Yes, a beer please." Said Brian. Nick nodded and walked up the stairs to the bar. Brian watched the crow and saw Gene climber on the stage, where was John and the DJ.
"Hey, Johnny!" said Gene "That's great, tonight! As always!"
"You're right, my doe!" said John. He then looked at the DJ and they both nodded, smiling.
"You're ready to sing?" he asked to Gene as he took a micro, one of this one that you put on your ear so you could dance as you want as you sang.
"Sure!" said Gene, happily as he took the microphone. He put it and waved at the DJ, smiling. The DJ smiled and said in the micro: "Is everyone like the PAAARTTTYYYY??!!!"
He was answered by a lot of noise by the crow. He smiled and continued as Gene walked of the stage and walked toward one of the pool.
"Everyone, now it's time for one of the best friend in the house. He's going to sing some great dance songs for all of us. It's GENE WISEEEEERRRR!!!"
The crow screamed a lot more as some spot lights went on Gene, who was standing on one of the pool, grinning. Hearing his name made Kevin, AJ, Howie and Brian to immediately look at him. Nick, who had just took two beers from the bar, quickly came back with Brian.
"Hey people! You're ready?!" said Gene. The crow made a lot of noise and Gene grinned and nodded at the DJ. Nick and Brian smiled brightly and waited for him to start.
The DJ put some dance music, a song that Gene immediately recognized. As he loved dance songs, he knew a lot of them. This one wasn't an exception. The crow restarted to dance at the song, as well as Gene, who started to sing.
"Time Mysterious time We're all counting the hours and days till the end of all time."
He was dancing, never stopped smiling, as the crow was dancing to the song.
"We're all feeling the change and we don't know why Choose one direction just one for time Don't say I'm thinking too much if you see what's behind, And these are mysterious times."
As he was singing this, he looked directly at Brian and Nick. Nick looked at Brian, took his hand, and dragged him on the dance floor.
"Mysterious times No trick of the mind For this moment I feel like we live in mysterious times If you see what's behind, these are mysterious times."
He looked in the crow and found Brian, Nick and AJ who were dancing near from him.
"Soul I feel my soul For this moment nobody can stop me from flying so high!"
"He's very talented, isn't he, Kevin?" asked Howie
"Yes, very! He had the same talent as Nick." said Kevin, nodding as they continued to watch Gene dancing and singing.
"Real I feel so real In a world of illusion you only see what you feel.
We're all feeling the change and we don't know why Choose one direction just one more time Don't say I'm thinking too much if you see what's behind, And these are mysterious times."
"That's great!" said Nick as he danced.
"Yes!" said Brian, dancing as well "He sure knows how to sing and dance!"
"Mysterious times No trick of the mind For this moment I feel like we live in mysterious times. If you see what's behind, these are mysterious times."
Then, Gene stopped dancing and sang the last lyrics: "If you see what's behind, these are mysterious times."
And the music stopped. Then the crow applauded while shouting and screaming at Gene, happy by his performance. Gene smiled and thanked them. He looked down and saw Nick climber on the pool beside him, taking his arm and lifted it in the air, as the crow continued to applaud.
"Damn! Next time, we'll go there too!" said AJ, sitting on the couch of Kevin's hotel room.
"Yes! It'll be a good idea!" said Howie "The ambiance was great!"
"Sure, why not?" said Kevin. He then smiled at Gene and said: "You made a good performance with all these songs, Gene, bravo!"
"Thanks." Said Gene, smiling. "I like to sing."
They continued to talk for a few minutes and one by one, the guys exited the room to sleep. A few minutes later, Gene was the only one in Kevin's room.
"So... did you and Brian tell the other guys?" asked Kevin.
"Not yet." Said Gene "We were planing on telling them tonight, but I forgot and Brian too, I guess."
"After that party in the club, I understand why." Said Kevin, smiling a little "Remember that I'll be there for you when you'll tell them."
"Yes." Said Gene, smiling a little "Well... I'm going to sleep. Good night, Kevin."
"Good night, Gene." said Kevin as he exited the room.
"I have to do this..." whispered Nick "After all, he didn't seem to mind gay or bi people!"
Nick sat on his bed, thinking. He had decided this morning to tell Brian his feelings for him but now, he was afraid to do it.
"I must do it." Whispered Nick "Come on, Nick, get up, go to Brian's room and tell him that you love him!"
He got up and immediately sat back on the bed.
"It's more easy to say it than to do it." He thought, sighing.
A second after Gene closed Kevin's door, Brian's door opened.
"Gene..." he said, smiling. "You're coming?"
Gene nodded and entered in Brian's room. After he closed the door, Brian immediately pulled him in a passionate kiss that he gladly returned. After a few seconds, Brian broke it, a big smile on his face.
"You were great tonight!" he said.
"Thanks, but you already said it." Said Gene, smiling also.
"I like to." Said Brian as he led him toward the bed. They both sat and Brian put his arms around Gene's neck, smiling. Gene put his arms around him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Brian pushed his tongue against his lips and Gene parted them, so that Brian's tongue could play with his one.
They continued to kiss for a minute or so, when someone knocked on the door and opened it.
"Brian, I need to... WHAT'S THE FUCK???!!!"
Brian and Gene broke the kiss and looked at the door... both were paralyzed when they saw who it was.
"Nick..." whispered Brian.
