Justin and Redemption. Part 9: In company.
Last time: Justin made a surprised visit on Gavin in his hotel room they talked into the night and fell asleep, both Gavin and NSYNC are on mid-tour breaksin NYC.
I woke up, and yawned expansively, knocking an empty mini-bubbly bottle off the bed, my outstretched arm came into contact with something soft, I looked up and found myself looking at Justins sleeping face, his dark eyelashes lying silkily along his upper cheeks and his full lips partly open as he breathed in his sleep, I found I didn't want to move my hands from his face, I brushed a finger along his soft skinned jaw line, then realising what I was doing grabbed my hands back, 'Justin isn't gay, get it through your delusional head idiot boy' I said inside my head.
I sat up and looked over my shoulder at Justin sprawled over my bed in his clothes, I smiled and then pounced and landed on his stomach and started tickling him like crazy.
"ahh uhh...what...what??" his voice newly woken shouted from under my sleeve as I attacked his armpit with my fingers.
"Hey no fair I was aleep" he shouted, muffled by my sleeve.
"Aww shut up, perfect time for an attack, you just wait until I get my nuclear bombs out, then things will be bad" I shouted and ended in a mad scientist maniac laugh.
"Okay, well I have two handy bazooka's right here buddy and they are comin out to play" he said and launched into attack with his hands, easily overpowering me, as he was more strong and builtthan me.
His hands found my barefeet and from there my attack just went downhill as he attacked them mercilessly.
"Okay, okay I give in enough!" I shouted trying to suppress my giggles.
Justin relented and lay back down breathing, "So what was that in aid of weakling boy?".
"Well you have surprised me twice now, once back at home in Orlando and secondly last night, so I thought I would get payback" I said somewhat defensively.
He glanced at me then breathed out, "Well it's definitely an interesting way of being woken" he said breaking into giggles again.
"I cant believe your giggling mister slaphead Timberlake, your such a pussy" I laughed then pushed him off the bed. He landed on the floor with an 'Ouffff'
I fell about laughing, he stood up pulled his t-shirt down from round his torso and then with extreme pomp burped loudly at me and waltzed into the toilet, seconds later the shower came on.
I jumped up and got dressed as he was out of the room, I didn't want a shower I had already had one last night and I couldn't be assed either. I lit up a fag, and helped myself to a drink from the mini fridge.
Justin came back out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist and was drying himself off with another towel, he dumped his clothes on my bed, glanced at me, I looked away cause I was shamelessly staring at his damp body.
"Hey, you can borrow some clothes if you want" I said nonchalantly.
"I was hoping you would say that" he said with a grin, and finished drying himself off, I picked a pair of my ripped and baggy jeans out of the cupboard and a blue thin tshirt with 'Colorado' scrawled across it, I chucked them on the bed then went to the toilet myself to brush my teeth. I came out soon after to find Justin walking around in my clothes drinking a bottle of water, he looked funny in my clothes, not humourous but funny as in weird, but not bad weird, just odd. I shrugged and said,
"Why Justin Timberlake you're clothes are soooo cool, I have to know your tailor" he guffawed at me.
"What these rotten mangy stink horribly filthy old things" he didnt manage to finish as
I threw a pillow at him from the sofa.
"I will have you know they are my favourite jeans and t shirt, I have had them for years" I said haughtily, I heard a burst of laughter from behind the sofa, where Justin had rolled, from falling over when ducking the pillow.
He emerged after some more laughter saying "Gavin they are fine, thanks for lending me some clothes at least you didn't chuck me out, hehe, oh yeah can I call the guys and get them down for breakfast?"
"Yeah sure okay where do you want breakfast? In here your room or downstairs in the hotel dining room?" I asked.
He scratched his head absently, "Umm in here I guess more private and so on, okay?"
"Yeah sure, I'm gonna go wake Oz and Lucy up, and get them to come along, I want them to meet you and the guys. Okay?" I asked.
He nodded picking up the phone, I slipped out the door, and ran down the hallway shouting a morning to the security guys, and knocked on Oz's door, a giggle of female laughter came back, I laughed to myself, "Oz, and the disembodied giggle it's Gavin here"
"Oh hey Gavin, what do you want?" more muffled giggling.
"Umm Justin wants me to meet the rest of the guys, and I want you and Lucy along to meet them, for breakfast in about 20, sound good, oh and the mysterious lady can join us aswell" yet more giggling then a, "Yeah cool cya there".
I walked down to Lucy's and knocked on the door, it opened after a moment, with Lucy squinting at the light, with tousled hair, and hangover breath. "Hey sexy" I said sarcastically.
"Fuck you, I feel awful, I need a bottle of aspirin, what the hell do you want?" she moaned in one quick sentence.
"Oh um well I want to invite you to breakfast in my room in about 20, with Justin and the guys, Oz will be there with his pick up from last night, up for it?" I asked.
She glared at me for a minute, "Yeah sure let me fix myself up cya in a sec" then banged the door shut in my face.
I laughed to myself and headed back to my room. Justin was just getting off the phone. "Hey are they coming?" he asked.
"Yah plus Oz's date from last night". He nodded and picked up the phone and ordered some breakfast from room service, it took a while there was lots to order. I pulled sofas and chair into the sitting room for everyone to sit on then pulled the huge table up in the middle of them.
"nice work" Justin said and grinned at me, just then there was a knock at the door, I went to answer it.
"Oh hi Oz" I said letting him in, "Hey Gavin, morning Justin" he said and shook hands with Justin.
"This is Jenny, by the way, I met her last night" I looked at the girl who had followed him into the room, she was a little shorter than me with long brunette hair with red tints, and sparkling green eyes, she blushed and mumbled hi.
"Hi Jenny", I said walking over and giving her a kiss on the cheek. Justin did the same, and then there was another knock on the door, it was Lucy this time, she had done her hair and was wearing some tight blue jeans and a white t-shirt, she scowled at me brushed past into the room, and kissed Justin, all without saying a word then got a bottle of water out of the mini fridge and proceeded to down 4 pain killers. Once she had done this she said, "Oh god that feels better, shut the fucking blinds, hi Justin nice to meet you."
He gave me a bemused look then said "Hi".
"Don't worry Justin this is hangover Lucy, Joey will be here soon and then you will meet flirty Lucy" I quipped.
"Fuck you, ugly horribly evil, oooooh more pain killers" she said running to the fridge again. Justin came up next to me and whispered, "So she has a thing for Joey then?"
I nodded, "I think so last time she met him she was eyeballing him extensively".
He smirked, "Good, Joey likes her too" I laughed and Lucy shot me a withering glance and sat next to Oz and saying hi to Jenny. Just then the door knocked again and the rest of NSYNC waltzed in, so Justin introduced them all to me then a second time everyone else, we all sat down, I sat next to Justin, while Joey sat next to Lucy who beamed at him then proceeded to phase two in the form of flirty Lucy. Lance, JC and Chris took the leftover seats which were left and we all sat around and talked idly about nothing until the food arrived. When it did I bounced out of my seat, pushed Justin back down by his head, and started serving everyone with trays of food.
Once we were all set up and eating away, Lance looked at me then said to Justin, "So this is where you disappeared last night?"
"Yeah I decided to pop in on Gavin here and surprise him we stayed up late and
i ended up falling alseep" he said stuffing some bacon into his mouth.
"So Gavin" JC said turning to me having just made Oz and Jenny have hysterics into their breakfasts, "Where do you live?" he seemed to be staring rather intently at me, I started to get nervous.
"Uhh Orlando, I'm on the same street as Justin, I didn't know that though until he decided to come round" Justin grinned at me.
"Oh right yeah, weren't you in England before?" JC asked just as intently.
"Yeah, I lived there for two years, well a year and a half I suppose" I said getting more uncomfortable by the second, I didn't like how this was going.
"oh right cool, yeah so you moved there from Orlando yeah and now you are back in Orlando, right?" he asked even more intently, practically glaring at me.
"Umm yes, can I just ask whats with the questions?" I said.
"JC doesn't trust English people, no one knows why he just doesn't" Lance supplied, for him. JC just shrugged and carried on eating.
I leant into Justin's shoulder, "What was that about?" I asked him in a whisper.
"Oh he doesn't trust English people he never said why, I think it's cause he was heartbroken by an English chick, which is no reason to hate English people but he has decided to, and he was also trying to see whether you were typically English, like it's a rash or something, cause he wants to see what the guy who is taking his place as my best friend is like" he supplied whispering back to me.
" Best friend huh?" he smiled at me, I flushed and smiled back, "Oh right, but I'm not English I'm American, he knows that right?" Justin shrugged.
I turned back to JC and said, "You know I'm not English right?"
He looked at me a bit confused, "You're not?"
"Uh nope I was only there for two years that doesn't make you English just an illegal immigrant although no one in England knew I was" I supplied.
"Oh right okay" he said smiling, completely at ease now. Something about the way he laughed made me laugh and he stopped and said "What?"
Everyone else stopped to find out what was going on, "Nothing you just look funny when you laugh" I said bouncing in seat at how cool it was that I had noticed this and no one else had, Justin was grinning at me.
"I do?" he said looking at me weirdly, probably cause I was bouncing in my seat.
"Yeah!!" I exclaimed, "Youre cheeks crinkle really weirdly" I said and burst out laughing on my own. Everyone else just looked at everyone else for an explanation.
"Don't worry it's probably nicotine withdrawal or something sending him a bit hyper, someone shove a fag in his mouth he'll be fine," Lucy deadpanned.
"Bitch" I said at her still laughing, until Justin jumped up and came back and actually shoved a cigarette in my mouth and lit it for me, I inhaled and sighed. Then realised what I had just done, which was make myself look like a complete fool in front of everyone.
I looked at Justin, he was grining at me obviously finding my antics funny, I smiled back at him relieved. "Is he always like that?" Chris asked Lucy.
She shrugged, "sometimes, depends, he can be weird but hey who isn't right?" she said and then turned back to Joey.
"Oh right" Chris said looking at me, "Cause I like him" he said and started grining at me, Justin grinned at me then at Chris.
"Oh what is going on it's like the Cheshire cat convention or something" JC said to noone.
"Well you have to admit", Joey said, "You do look funny, come to think about it, when you laugh".
I started bouncing again excitedly, "Haha you see it! You see it!" which sent everyone off into hysterics.
Eventually everyone calmed down down and any tension which had been there was gone, we all talked about everything and nothing, until Justin whispered in my ear, "Hey crazyboy, what do you want to do today?".
"Shopping!!" I shouted loudly causing everyone to look at me again, I blushed "what I like shopping" they all chuckled and I turned to Justin, "we have to go to Greenwhich Village, it's meant to be really cool" I bubbled excitedly at Justin who just sat grinning at me. "Okay Greenwhich Village it is"
I hoorayed loudly causing everyone to jump but I had already run into my room to get my stuff together to go shopping.
"Okay why is he being so weird? I mean its cool and hes funny but why?" Justin asked to Lucy and Oz.
They looked at each other then at everyone else who had decided to listen, "He is probably nervous from meeting everybody, and he tends to compensate by getting either overexcited and weird or moody and detached, youre lucky he isn't being moody, that's not a good thing" Oz said smiling.
"He doesn't seem nervous at all, though" Chris said a little confused.
"Trust me he is, he isn't very confident at all really and worries himself about everything, you have to remember he's really fragile, he had REALLY bad experiences in his life and being mentally ill was a result of them and that also hosted new things for him to get neurotic about, I'm not saying he's gonna crack or something he just can get nervous or overexcited or something, and becomes either very moody which is really not good to be around seeing as he used to be clinically depressed so he KNOWS how to be moody, or he gets overexcited like now." Lucy explained, Joey beamed at her like she was so great for being so intelligent and caring she beamed back at him.
"Oh right okay" Chris said.
"Oh and that means you need to look after him Justin" Lucy said, turning to him, he perked up from thinking about what she had just said and looked at her earnestly, he really did want to be Gavin's friend, and felt the need to look after him anyway, it was almost possessive, but he didn't have time to think about that as Lucy continued, "I'm not saying mother him or anything he is the type of guy who treasures his freedom, but just keep an eye on him okay?" she asked in an almost motherly way.
He nodded eagerly, "I will don't worry about it" she smiled at him, and then stood up, "Right Joey I'll see you in 15 yeah?" he nodded like a puppy. "Okay well I will see you guys around I'm sure, and it was nice meeting you all, bye Jenny don't let these brutes intimidate you, just remember they all wank off and pull stupid faces when doing it, so imagine those faces if they boss you around" Jenny nodded smiling a mysterious female smile knowing what Lucy was getting at. The other guys just blushed and looked anywhere at lucy. When she had left, Gavin came running back in and announced in ringing tones,
"I'm ready to go!!!!!" Justin burst out laughing.
The others with Lucys explanations in their heads, all smiled fondly at his childish behaviour.
Gavin just grinned at them relishing being the centre of attention, and at the same time worried if they had been talking about him. To get his mind from that he said, "So had madam Lucy terrified you all yet?" they all blushed at once and Gavin started clapping in glee, "Haha she strikes again was it wanking this time?" he asked excitedly, they all blushed again and nodded, Gavin was enjoying this Lucy always left lasting impressions on people.
"I've had that one hehe she's wicked, don't worry she's really a kitten" Gavin said and winked at Joey who blushed again, sending everyone off into laughing. "Right so whats everyone else doing today cause I'm going SHOPPING!!" he said in childish abandon.
Chris chimed up saying, "Well i'm gonna go and hustle around and see the sights, last time we were here we saw the inside of our coach and that was it"
"I might join you then i wouldnt mind doin' that" Lance said, and Chris nodded.
"I think i'm just gonna relax by the pool today." Was all JC supplied.
"And we all know what Joey will be doin" Justin said sniggering at a blushing Joey.
Everyone, finished there stuff and i said bye to them all, as JC passed me he said,
"Hey sorry about that inquisition, i just want Justin to be happy is all"
"It's okay really, i'm cool but it's not like we are going out or anything, just mates", he smiled sheepishly and bade his farewell until next time.
"So what are you doing today OZ, and Jenny?" i asked the pair as they headed out.
"Oh probably just lounging around really", Jenny said. Oz looked ecstatic at the idea.
I closed the door, and turned back into the room to find Justin struggling valiantly to clear everything up and put all the chairs back into place.
"Hey, dont worry about that, it's what hotel staff are paid to do, right?"
He thought about it and then put down a chair he had been lugging on his back.
I beckoned to him with my finger and opened the door again, he came over and stood peering out the door with me, "What are we looking at?" he asked.
I shoved him out the door, "Hey, you chuking me out?" he exclaimed with a cute as fuck puppy dog face, i really needed to stop thinking like that.
"No," i smiled at him, "well yes i am, but only so you can go get ready to go shopping today" i explained. "I'll see you downstairs in about 15, yeah?"
His expression brightened straight away and he nodded gave me a wave and walked to the elevator. I watched him go, smiling at the picture of him in my clothes. I had already sorted myself out to go i just wanted some time alone to think, I needed to sort out the past night and this morning in my head.
I really did like Justin and he was rapidly becoming my best friend, which I was anxious about because I had never had a close friend since i was 16. And here i was gaining a best friend, who i also happened to fancy, was pretty scary. I was scared, i didnt really know how to trust someone, like you need to with a best friend, plus i didnt know whether i should tell him I am gay, because i have no idea how he might react. And I didnt even want to think about what might happen if I did tell him then confessed that I also fancied him. He might freak out and I would more than likely stop trusting anyone if that happened.
To tell the truth i was scared and unsure, i mean in this i was just a innocent child i hadnt bothered with friends since such a young age that i didnt know how to react to someone like Justin who i liked so much even platonically, and who seemingly wanted to become close with me.
I sighed, lit a fag and wondered around with these thoughts chasing each others tails in my head for a bit, then gave up on finding a solution and putting on my backpack headed down to thr foyer to meet Justin.
I waited for about tewn minutes in the foyer until Justin eventually turned up, he stepped of the elevator with a small bag round his shoulders looked and saw me smiled and came over, "Hey there lonesome, looking for some company" he quipped with a cheesy grin.
"Justin you are the only guy i know who can get away with being so goofy".
"Thanks" he said smoothing down non-existant hair. "Oh my security guy will be following me around today, if i go on my own I will be done by management i really did just want it to be us but i have to have security" he said heavily.
"Justin it's okay, im gonna be being followed by my security guy anyway, seemingly our management companies are similar when it comes to protecting their interests" Justin laughed a cynical laugh, and with a hand motion swept out of the door to a waiting taxi, i bouned on the spot in glee at the prospect of shopping and followed him.
Once we got their i went into a seizure of happiness and uncontrolled spending, i had great fun Justin seemed to have fun as well, i realised these werent his types of shops and said to him, "I know you're probably not having much fun, theses arent your types of shops, so i promise we will go to some shops for you in a bit okay?" he nodded and replied, "It's okay i just like being with you, you're good company"
i looked at him with disbelieve on my face at the compliment, me good company dont think so, "What you are?" he asked interpreting my expression correctly.
I smiled, "Aww what a sweet boy i shall have to buy you some lunch for being sooooo sweet" I teased pinching his cheek.
"Okay you're on, where do you wanna go?" he asked looking around.
"There is a cafe some way back which we passed which looked nice we can try there" i said and with a swish of all our bags we headed off to the cafe.
Once we got there i ordered a hot chocolate and pasta salad, "You have really weird food tastes," Justin said with a fond expression on his face, i realised that his expression was fro me, he really does like me a lot i wondered to myself out loud i said, "yeah i know i'm such a freak what you havin?"
he smiled and scanned the menu then ordered a tea and fish salad,
"Ughh fish you're gonna reek boy" i said in my best hillbilly accent.
He laughed and said, "Well i promise not to kiss you then" i choked on my drink then covered up with a laugh, if i carried on like this i was never gonna hide the fact that i fancied him.
The food arrived and it was really nice but expensive, i told myself to shut up it's not like i couldnt afford it anymore.
Justin gave me a weird look, "Why are you talking to yourself?"
I blushed, "I didnt realise i was talking outloud" i blushed some more into my drink.
"What were you talking to yourself about?" he asked curiously.
"Oh i was telling myself to shut up about how expensive the food is" i explained.
He looked a bit puzzled and asked, "But you're a millionnaire now, you can afford it" his lips smiling quirkily at me.
"I know, but i'm still getting used to that, and before all that i had nothing, i was dirt poor"
"Oh right, tell me about when you where in England" he said quietly.
"Umm okay" i stumbled not expecting that question, "Well i lived in a shitty area, in a wasted motel which had no hot water and barely any electricity, i mainly spent any money i managed to get on food, and essentials i.e fags hehe, any left over i would spend down the pub which gave me something to do..." i told him all about the people i lived around like Zack, Justin was curious about Zack and asked loads of questions.
i held a hand up at him, and he cut off from the twentith question about Zack, "Why are you so interested in Zack, he was a headcase basically"
He looked shocked at my choice of words then said, "I dont know i just dont know anything about that type of thing, i was curious i guess."
"Well trust me you dont want to know it's not fun at all" i said staring moodily into my empty cup.
Justin's brow knitted in concern for Gavin's abrupt mood swing. "Hey i didnt mean to upset you i'm sorry" he said shaking the hand Gavin had on the table.
"It's alright i just dont really like to think about things like that, or talk about them really i do all that in my songs, i hate therapists and stuff, the one i had when i was..well ill was horrible, questions questions questions, she couldnt get it into her head i didnt want to talk about it"
"Aww i'm sorry, listen lemme buy you some ice cream to say sorry yeah?" Justin asked with a hopefuly expression, Gavin looked at him and smiled a little, "Okay thankyou"
Justin called the waitress over and ordered some ice cream, the waitress went to get it and Gavin whispered quietly, "You're a good friend you know that" Justin barely
heard him but got what he had said.
He smiled, "Thanks, listen, i just wanna say i think you're a really fun and cool person to be around, even when you are buying out a shop"
Gavin laughed, "Me too, i havent had a best friend for ages thanks Justin" he said and beamed at him.
Just beamed back at him, happy that Gavin had said he was his best friend,
he really did like Gavin a lot".
Just then there was a shrill piercing scream, Gavin winced and
instinctively shrunk lower into his seat, Justin glanced around and groaned, catching site of six young girls making there way towards him and Gavin like a herd of elephants. "Oh god here we go? i hope they arent to overexcited" Justin mumbled, then noticed the panic in Gavin's eyes, which were darting around the room like pinwheels.
The girls made it to the table and started harrasing Gavin first for
autographs and photo's all the while squeeling like banshees, then they turned to Justin and went through the whole process again.
Eventually after much, "Oh wow i love, i love you'S" they departed.
Justin rubbed his arm where one girl had squeezed it too hard in excitement, and noticed Gavin who looked like he was about to have a panic attack or something, he lowered his voice and said, "You okay Gavin, you look really upset" his concern making his voice wobble.
Gavin glanced about one more time and let out a huge breath, then in a tremulous voice said, "Yeah i'm fine i just diong handle fans very well when they are like that, they make me panicky, i got mobbed awhile ago and one girl pulled a clump of my hair out, i get scared of them a bit" he said sweating lightly.
Justin grimaced knowing what mobs are like, "Werent Lucy and OZ there to help?" he asked.
"No i had only gone outside for a cigarette in a venue, so i was on my own, i suppose it was my fault really i should have been more careful."
"Well i'm not saying it wouldnt help, but still i know from personal experience mobs are horribly, i was in one and refused to do any promotional work for a week but the other guys calmed me down about it."
"Well it helps that you're my friend and you know what i mean, as your in the same business, that helps a lot" Gavin said with heart felt sincerity.
"Listen dont worry about it, i'll be there for you, just ask if you need to know about something, although you have to do the same for me" Justin said seriously.
"Me? i'm all new to this you know more than i do" Gavin said surprised at Justins candour.
"Yeah but you are the hottest thing at the minute, youre bigger than NSYNC have ever been in such a short time, i mean NSYNC are big but that was over time, you're as big as us now and in only a few months so it must be a little different than what i experienced, with NSYNC."
"True i suppose you're right about that," Gavin said thoughtfully, "Okay it's a deal" and stuck his hand out, which Justin shook strongly.
I know not exaclt mind alteringly exciting but i just wanted to get some sort of depth into Justin and GAvin's relationship, and this is what my weird ass, brain came up with. so there you go hope you like it and keep in contact.
