Josh and Just

****Hey Everyone. Sorry for the delay. Hope you like it!!! Comments at Wipeout211@yahoo.com Thanks a bunch.

Josh and Just 12

Justin sat up and was welcomed by the dark room. The moonlight faintly shone through the closed curtains. He looked around seeing everyone sleeping around. Lance and Britney shared a bed while Joey had taken the couch. Chris sat uncomfortably in an arm chair, snoring continuously. Justin looked down and saw JC sleeping uncomfortably next to the bed with his head propped up on the side of the mattress. Justin rubbed the sleep from his eyes and let out a yawn before shaking JC lightly. JC's eyes drifted open to see Justin before him.

"Oh Just. Are you okay? I wanted to wake you up but they kind of held me back. Are you okay?" JC asked as he scurried up to sit on the bed. He cupped both of Justin's cheeks in his hands and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

"I'm fine Josh. I'm fine." Justin said happily as he threw both arms around JC's neck in order to give him a big hug.

"Really? Why so good? I thought you had a nightmare?" JC asked becoming worried. He placed his hand up to Justin's forehead to check his temperature.

"Well I finished my dream and you saved me before anything bad happened to me." Justin smiled as he toyed with JC's shirt. He looked up to see JC smiling back. Justin continued t play with the oversized shirt that JC wore.

"Really? So it's over?" JC asked, kissing the top of Justin's head.

"Yup." Justin replied as he pushed JC back onto the bed. JC fell back and ended up laying on his back while Justin climbed onto top of his, straddling his forehead. JC laughed and pulled Justin down into a kiss. Justin sucked on JC's sweet lips softly while his eyes closed slowly. He heard a snicker which sent his eyes open. He looked around and saw it was coming from Lance.

"What are you laughing at?" Justin asked in a hushed whisper.

"Check out your lover boy." Lance said pointing to JC. Justin looked toward JC and saw that his eyes were closed but not from the passion. His eyes were closed because he had fallen fast asleep. Justin smiled at the site and lifted himself off. He laid down next to JC and pulled the blanket over him and JC.

"I love you." Justin said as he kissed JC's cheek.

"WAKE UP!!!!!" JC bounced out of bed and took a fighting position, looking around to see if everything was alright. Justin sat up groggily and looked at the clock at the side of the bed which read seven o'clock. JC let a sigh and laid back down on the bed.

"Wake up Sleepy. We got practice." Joey said, giving JC a nudge. JC groaned and turned to face Justin in bed and buried his face in Justin's chest.

"Make him go away." JC asked childishly. Justin let out a laugh and climbed out of bed. JC groaned again and sat up in bed.

"Thank You Joey. You ruined my romantic morning in bed with Justin." JC said tiredly.

"Oh please. Romantic my ass. Your morning would consist of Justin getting ready while you slept another half an hour." Joey joked.

"And you call that not romantic???" JC inquired, jokingly. He stood from the bed and began to rummage through his bag.

"So who's are choreographer this tour? Is it Darren again?" JC asked, throwing a shirt onto his shoulder.

"Darrel and this lady named Tina. And get this. Tina has an assistant! Could you imagine why a choreographer needs an assistant? It'll be like Stretch this for me' or clear the stage for me.' Poor person doesn't know what they are walking into." Joey said shaking his head.

"What time is practice?" JC inquired.

" Seven forty-five." Joey replied.

"What?! I'm going to shower in Lance's room cause Justin's going to take forever." JC said, heading out the door.

"Okay fellas! Get on stage! You are all a little late. And You have a whole concert to choreograph in three days. Now hurry up!" Darren yelled from the stage. The guys grudgingly walked to the stage. Chris walked down the aisle of the amphitheater heading toward the stage when accidentally ran into a young woman heading up the aisle quickly. The papers she was holding flew all over the place while she fell backward. She let out an exasperated sigh seeing all her neatly organized papers flying in all directions.

"I'm so sorry." Chris said as he put forth his hand to help her up.

"Well, yeah you should be! You saw me coming up the aisle and you purposely bumped into me." The woman replied, getting up by herself without the aid of Chris.

"Oh Please! You were the one running up the aisle, as if your pants were on fire or something." Chris replied, starting to pick up all the papers.

"Well excuse me for actually working around here. I'm not a pop star like you who could take his pretty little time because he has thousands of dollars to waste everyday." The woman replied.

"Hey! I'm as normal a guy as ever. Just because I have money doesn't mean I spend it." Chris replied, pointing a finger at her.

"Oh yeah! How many cars do you have?" The woman asked, stopping everything to look at him.

"Three………But I only drive one of them." Chris said, stacking the papers into her arms.

"Just what I thought." She said, turning around to walk away.

"Hey what's your name?" Chris asked, watching as she continued to walk away.

"Sarah." She yelled back, continuing to walk forward. Chris smiled to himself and turned back toward the stage.

Justin took a seat at the edge of the stage and tossed his head back as he guzzled a bottle of water. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel and threw it onto his shoulder. His chest heaved from their first two hours of practice. He looked out into the arena where various people rushed around with stacks of paper or a cell phone in hand. He smiled as he saw Chris and Joey imitating one of them who was busy moving boxes.

"Hey Cutie." JC said, taking a seat next to Justin. He let his legs dangle off the stage as he took the towel from Justin's shoulder to wipe his own sweat.

"Hey you." Justin replied, nudging JC's body with his own.

"How you holding up? You look extremely tired." JC stated, placing his hand on Justin's forehead to check his temperature.

"I'm fine. Just a little wiped. Not used to the new moves and all. But I'll get them." Justin sighed.

"I know you will." JC smiled back.

"I love you sooo much." Justin whispered.

"I know and I love you too." JC whispered back.

"Oh my god! Justin save me! That Tina girl isn't a choreographer, she's a drill sergeant. She just had me do one hundred shuffles because she said that I didn't move my legs fast enough." Britney said as she laid down, putting her head in Justin's lap.

"I know. She had Chris practice that one step for like an hour. And I thought it was pretty good." Justin shrugged.

"Everyone! Break is over. Get on stage!" Tina announced. Everyone let out a groan and climbed onto the stage. They all lined up and looked at Tina, waiting.

"Okay all of you will be practicing the intro now. This is the song where both *N Sync and Britney performs together. So I want you to get in a V formation with the point facing the audience. And Britney stand between the second and third person. Got it?" Tina asked, walking up and down the line of people.

"YES DRILL SERGEANT!" All six of them yelled in unison. Tina turned towards them and found them all saluting her.

"Now!" She yelled back. All six immediately scattered in different directions, trying to find their positions.

Justin fell into one of the seats in the audience and watched JC practice a dance move carefully. He watched as JC suddenly stopped to check out a message he received on his pager. His eyes bulged as he saw the message and he quickly leapt from the stage to the floor. He hurried over to Justin and breathed hard as he hunched over.

"What's wrong Josh?" Justin asked.

"Tyler……….paged………..me……..plane……….." JC panted.

"Breathe." Justin laughed. JC took a deep breath and sat down next to Justin.

"Tyler's plane lands in twenty minutes and he wants me to pick him up." JC said.

"Tyler is coming! That's awesome." Justin smiled.

"No it isn't! I haven't told any of them yet." JC replied, with a worried look.

"Oh don't worry Josh. He'll be cool with it. I know it. He told me his best friend is gay." Justin explained.

"Well yeah I know Matt is gay but I dunno if he'll mind his only brother being gay." JC replied.

"Well if you want me to be there I will. I'll come with you." Justin volunteered.

"Thanks Cutie." JC replied.

"Josh, get your ass on stage. You are going over the whole routine right now." Tina bellowed.

"But wait! Tina, I have to go pick up my brother right now." JC yelled back.

"No you don't. Justin can go get him. You have to practice Now!!" Tina screamed.

"It's okay Josh, I'll go pick him up." Justin smiled.

"Thanks Cutie." JC smiled back.

Justin waited at the gate wearing his disguise which consisted of a pair of sunglasses and a baseball hat. He looked down at the piece of paper in his hand to see if he had the right gate. He zipped JC's leather jacket around him and looked at the empty gate. It wasn't long until passenger's started to slowly walk out of the gate. He watched closely at all the faces coming out of the gate. He smiled once he saw Tyler walk out of the gate. Tyler flashed Justin a smile before pulling him into a hug.

"Hey Ty! How have you been?" Justin asked as he patted Tyler's back.

"I've been good. How about you?" Tyler asked. Justin directed him to the luggage claim.

"Well all the guys are fine and I'm doing great. The tour just kicked off and we are practicing pretty hard right now. Josh wanted to come but we have this new choreographer that is keeping him and making him do drills." Justin replied.

"Good old Josh. So how are your parents and the munchkin's?" Tyler inquired.

"They are fine. And Jonathan and Steven are growing up, and well Laura is more boy crazy now than ever." Justin joked. He picked up Tyler's bag and slung it over his shoulder.

"So you guys surprised that I'm here?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah we are. But we're glad you came out. The guys are psyched and Britney is pumped to see you again. Anything you want to do out here?" Justin asked.

"Nope, Just wanting to spend time with my brother and just hang out. You guys were on that tour for like months and the last time I saw him was maybe last July. So thought I'd drop by. And check it out." Tyler stated. The two walked out of the airport and were greeted by a limousine. Both teens stepped into the limo and made themselves comfortable while the chauffeur placed the bags into the trunk.

"So how's school?" Justin pondered.

"It's coming along. We just had finals and we're now on Winter break. I think I might stay with you guys until Christmas. I'm not sure. It depends on if you want me or not." Tyler laughed.

"Oh we do. We'd drop Josh, for you any day." Justin laughed back.

"Well there's Britney and that's our the new choreographer. I think that girl is her assistant." Justin said, pointing everyone out as they walked down the aisles of the arena to the stage.

"Is the concert going to be different than last time?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah. For sailing they might not have us dangling from the ceiling but have us actually fly over the audience and we have a lot of pyrotechnics so that's going to be cool. And I think we are going to do some oldies." Justin replied.

"BABY BRO!" JC yelled from the stage. He jumped from the stage and started running toward Tyler.

"I wish he'd stop calling me that." Tyler told Justin before getting crushed within JC's arms. JC gave Tyler a huge hug before letting him go and looking at him.

"Wow you look good. Is that what college does to obnoxious little brothers?" JC grinned.

"Shut up Josh." Tyler laughed, punching JC in the arm.

"Ty!!" Joey yelled as he ran up to him. Joey took him into a bear hug as he lifted him off the ground.

"Nice to see you Joe. Still glad to see you have that superman strength." Tyler snickered as he was put down.

"Hey Ty!" Lance smiled as he pulled the teenager into a small hug.

"See now that's the kind of hug I wanted." Tyler announced.

"Where's Chris?" Justin looked around.

"Tina has him doing drills. I swear she worked in the army or something." Britney laughed as she walked up behind JC.

"Hey Britney. Haven't seen you in awhile." Tyler stated, hugging her lightly.

"I know. You grow taller every time I see you." Britney smiled.

"Hey get your butts back on stage. We have less than two days to choreograph this show. Hurry up!" Tina yelled.

"We have to go. You can stay in the audience for now or you can head to the bus outside." Justin said sliding off JC's leather jacket from his shoulders and placing it on a chair in the front row. Tyler looked at the leather jacket than back to Justin. He smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Just." Tyler replied.

Tyler sat in the chair watching his older brother as well as the others performing on stage continuously. He sat, obviously bored, by the constant repeating of the same song over and over again. Something about watching JC now, gave Tyler a new respect for him. He never really knew what JC did all the time. Sure Tyler had been to JC's practices before, but it was just now that he actually watched what they did instead of submerging his mind into something that suited him better, like art. But it was something about the way JC continued to dance energetically to the song time after time and continued to sing the song perfect and excitedly every time. Something about the way he performed that gave Tyler more respect for the entertainment industry. Tyler pushed his thoughts aside and looked at his watch. Five- thirty. He took out a his sketch pad and started to sketch something. He continued to sketch, letting his mind become engulfed into the work his hands produced.

"Hey Ty! You ready to go?" JC asked, slipping on his leather jacket. Tyler looked up at JC and then at his sketch pad.

"What?" Tyler asked.

"You ready to go?" JC laughed, enunciating every syllable.

"Yeah." Tyler replied, he placed the sketch book back into his backpack and stood. He glanced at his watch and noticed he had been sketching for forty-five minutes straight. He had hardly known where the time went.

"You okay? You look more tired than we do." Justin laughed, patting him on the back.

"Yeah I'm fine. I guess the plane ride wore me out." Tyler replied.

"Okay Baby Bro. You can crash with me and Justin." JC announced, walking into the room.

"Okay." Tyler replied, shyly walking into the room. Justin walked in behind Tyler and closed the door.

"Okay well I'll call the front desk and have them send a rollaway bed for me." JC stated.

"Why? Aren't you going to be with Justin tonight?" Tyler asked, a little confused. Justin and JC stopped in their spots and turned to look at him. Tyler flashed them a smile.

"What?" JC asked, still can't believing what he heard.

"I know. I've known about you for years. But I never knew you and Justin were together." Tyler said, trifling through his suitcase.

"How………How Did.……..How……….did you………How?" JC stammered.

"Well a couple things. One, whenever one of Heather's dates comes over, you make it seem like you are interrogating them, but I kind of noticed you checking them out." Tyler grinned. JC blushed four different shades of red as he sat down on the bed. Justin took the seat next to him and waited for Tyler to finish.

"Two, you were always willing to watch a movie with heather which supposedly had a `Cute Guy' in it." Tyler laughed.

"And three. I was talking to Paul and he accidentally let it slip." Tyler shrugged.

"Wait!! My Step-dad Paul??" Justin asked. Tyler nodded. Justin became enraged at the thought of knowing that his own step-dad had broken a secret that was personal and private. `What if he has accidentally let it slip to someone else?' Justin thought.

"Do Mom and Dad know?" JC asked.

"No but Heather does. And we're both cool with it. It's just going to be odd seeing my older brother kissing………you." Tyler joked, pointing to Justin. Justin cracked a smile, but still hadn't let go of the anger for his step-dad.

"So you don't mind me being with Justin?" JC asked.

"No, I think you two are good for each other. But don't take my word. I'm not really sure if two men go well together." Tyler said, making light of the situation.

"I love you Ty." JC stated.

"Love you too Josh." Tyler replied.

"Hey. You okay?" JC whispered to Justin. Justin looked back at him and nodded.

"Yeah. Just a little mad at Paul. I'm going to have to call him." Justin replied.

"Don't be too mad. It's not like he told someone who would have freaked out. We were lucky." JC said, wrapping an arm around Justin.

"I'll try not to be." Justin replied.

"Okay, too shnazy for a club or what?" Tyler asked, holding a black silk shirt. Both JC and Justin looked up to see the shirt and nodded in approval.

"Hey. Who said you were going to a club tonight?" JC asked, defensively.

"Well us eighteen year olds. Don't get to go to clubs often. Britney, Tyler and I are going to be out tonight. If you would like to come. Your welcome to." Justin proposed.

"Well since you put it that way. Sure. I'll call the guys and see if they want to come." JC reached over to the phone.

"Okay, But I get to wear your jacket tonight." Justin smiled. JC looked back at Justin and dragged him down to the bed.

"Who said you could wear my jacket?" JC asked pinning Justin on the bed with his arms.

"Can I? Please????" Justin asked, childishly. JC leaned down and kissed Justin on the lips. He pulled back and looked deep into Justin's eyes. Justin smiled in knowing he was going to wear that jacket.

"Nope." JC remarked, climbing off Justin. Justin laid there in shock and confusion as JC and Tyler began to get ready.

Lights flashed as the music blared throughout the room. Justin walked into the scene bopping his head to the beat. Following in close suit was JC with his hand placed lightly on Justin's hip directing him. Tyler followed his older brother into the room which automatically had him singing with the song. Joey walked in escorting Britney followed by Lance who was pumped for the evening. Chris walked into the club with Jennie lightly moving to the music.

"I'm really glad you talked me into this." Jennie said, instantly moving toward the dance floor.

"I'm just glad that William didn't mind babysitting Seth." Chris said to himself, walking up the others.

"Hey you guys! I'll see you in a few." Lance yelled over the music. He turned and walked to the dance floor.

"I'm getting a drink." Tyler announced.

"No your not." JC said, grabbing him by the collar to prevent him from walking away farther.

"It was worth a shot." Tyler shrugged.

"Speaking of shots, I'm gonna get a quick drink before heading t the dance floor. You guys want anything?" Chris asked.

"Coke and rum." JC proposed.

"Nothing for me." Justin followed.

"Vodka." Tyler grinned.

"Try that again." JC replied, glancing at him.

"A Scotch?" Tyler asked with pleading eyes. He received a glare from his older brother.

"Okay. Okay. A Sprite." Tyler said, disappointedly.

"More like it." JC replied. Justin smiled at how JC watched over his younger brother closely. Tyler fell into the booth and nodded his head with the music. JC glanced at his brother and slid into the booth next to him.

"Okay here's the deal. You can have some of my coke and rum but you are not going to be drinking any other alcohol tonight. Got it??" JC remarked.

"Okay. I'm just curious." Tyler replied.

"I know you are. I was too at your age. But you don't want to get into this stuff until your old enough to handle it. So let's say a couple more years okay?" JC smiled.

"Got it. Big Bro." Tyler replied. Justin slid into the booth with Britney.

"Justin. Does JC ever stop you from drinking?" Tyler inquired.

"Nope. He's seen me drink before. I don't drink too much though. Just wine, champagne and maybe some hard stuff mixed into like a coke or a Sprite. But only when we go out. Never at home. So that's like twice a month. At the most." Justin replied, honestly.

"Ty. It's only because you are my brother. As long as you don't get buzzed and I don't see it and Dad is okay with it. I'm cool with it." JC replied. Tyler nodded.

Justin danced on the dance floor with Britney while JC danced with Jennie. Justin flashed JC and continued to dance.

"Okay switch partners." JC announced. He spun Jennie toward Britney while he snatched Justin's arm quickly and pulled him over lightly. Justin chuckled and danced with JC to the up beat music. JC smiled at Justin and seductively moved closer.

"Your cute." JC said.

"Better not let my boyfriend hear you or he will be the crap out of you." Justin snickered.

"Oh don't worry about that. He'll understand." JC grinned.

"You have no clue how bad I want to kiss you right now." Justin whispered into JC's ear.

"Yes I do. I want to do the same." JC replied.

"I love you." Justin whispered.

"I love you too baby." JC replied. Justin began to laugh.

"What?" JC asked in confusion.

"You've never called me baby before." Justin replied.

"If you don't like it, I won't call you that ever again. But it just sounded right." JC shrugged.

"I like it. It's sweet." Justin smiled brightly. JC gave a small laugh and continued to dance with Justin.

"Hey where's Britney?" Tyler asked as he looked around the group to see who was missing.

"I'm not sure. I saw her at the bar. Maybe she's there." Chris shrugged.

"I'll go check." Justin volunteered. He quickly ran up the two steps that led to the bar which was risen from the rest of the dance. He looked around quickly and saw Britney at the bar stirring her drink with a plastic red stirring rod slowly.

"Hey Brit. You okay?" Justin asked, taking the seat next to her.

"Yeah. Just thinking." Britney replied.

"That's a first." Justin joked. Britney gave a small smile.

"Okay that's not my Britney. She would have bruised up my arm for that comment. Now why are you so down?" Justin asked, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"I want to be with someone. Like you have JC. I want a boyfriend." Britney sighed.

"Oh come on Britney. You have Freddie. No one I know would get so strung up on a girl after a first date. So either you guys one wild and kinky night that he couldn't resist more, or he's head over heels in love with you." Justin proposed.

"You think?" Britney asked, staring into her drink.

"Yup. And I know right now. If he ever does anything to hurt you have five guys ready to beat his ass up." Justin smiled.

"Thanks Justin." Britney replied, taking one last sip of her drink.

"No problem Brit. Now what have you been drinking?" Justin asked smelling the drink.

"Relax Dad! It's a Dr. Pepper." Britney replied. Justin smiled and walked with her back to the group.

"Ready to go?" JC asked.

"All set." Justin replied. Everyone headed for the exit, ready to head to sleep for the long day they will have again tomorrow. Chris was at the end of the group as he tiredly walked out. He accidentally bumped into someone causing both him and the other person to stumble back.

"Hey watch it!" The person yelled. Chris recognized the voice and shot his head up.

"You!" Chris yelled, looking at her.

"Oh god! It's you! What? Do you purposely run into me?" Sarah asked, tucking her hair behind her ear. She smoother out the wrinkles in her dress before starting to walk away. Chris moved clearly out of her way. Not wanting to bump into her again. he walked toward the exit and looked back at Sarah before leaving.

"That was fun you guys. Thanks for taking me." Tyler remarked as he walked into the room behind JC and Justin.

"No problem Baby Bro. Anytime. Plus we had to get some fun in before going back to work tomorrow. If you want to jet and check out some of San Francisco, I know someone who lives here so I could give him a call and he'll take you around." JC proposed.

"No it's cool. I wouldn't mind staying at the arena with you guys." Tyler replied

"Ty. You sure?" Justin asked.

"I'm sure. Now both of you go to sleep." Tyler laughed as he stripped and climbed into one of the two beds in the room. JC laughed and stripped to his bowers and placed a pair of pajama pants on top. He walked up behind Justin and hugged him from behind.

"Hey baby." JC said, laughing himself as he said it.

"Hey. You are an incredible guy you know that?" Justin complimented.

"Really? Why so?" JC asked.

"Well because you are great with children as well as all my family. You are a terrific older brother to both Ty and Heather. And you area great son to your parents. And you are the best boyfriend a person could have. I am truly madly deeply in love with you." Justin replied. JC leaned down and pecked Justin's bare back.

"I love you too." JC whispered softly into Justin's ear. He took Justin's hand and dragged him back to the bed.

"Ready to head to sleep?" JC asked, looking up at the standing Justin while sitting on the bed.

"Yeah." Justin replied, with a smile. JC crawled into bed while Justin crawled in next to him. Justin snuggled closely to JC's body while JC placed a protective arm around Justin. Justin kissed JC's chin before falling asleep nuzzled closely to JC's body.
