Ok here's the deal guys.... I don't know the members of NSYNC personally, and I could care less about their personal lives so please... this is a work of pure fiction (Sadly...) Secondly, If your not 18 or aren't allowed to read this because of legal reasons, you need to go to a more appropriate site. Also, this story contains man-to-man relationships, and at times will feature homosexual sex acts. If this offends you, you need to ask yourself, do I really want to continue??.... Anyway, I would like to thank all you readers out there for reading this, and to ask for you to continue to email me if you think this is good or whatever... (Especially if you are one of the lead characters!!...Grin)
When we last saw the guys...
"Where am I gonna sit?" Justin asked. "You should move." Justin shoved Lances legs out of the way.
"And what if I don't?" Lance joked.
"Oh well." Justin fell onto Lance.
"Justin, Get off me!" Lance shouted.
"Too late. I asked you to move. I'm now comfortable." Justin said with a smirk.
Realizing that he was trapped, Lance just sighed and continued the movie.
It was either the good food, or the wine, but the two boys quickly fell asleep.
Lance realized that Justin was very comfortable to sleep with, and wrapped his arms tighter around his friend. Justin in turn found that he liked wrapping his arms around someone who was a tad bit smaller than he. He loved JC, but physically it was comforting being the bigger man. As the evening continued, Lance started to dream about Will. It was one of those weird dreams where nothing seems right, but in the end it all worked out. Just as he thought that Will was going away on a long trip to outer space, he pulled him closer and kissed him. Wait a minute; Lance thought this feels too real.
Thinking this was a dream, Lance pulled the old trick 'Pinch me, I'm dreaming'. He pinched his arm, and suddenly Will was gone. In his place, was one of his best friends, Justin Timberlake. And it was just like his dream, he was kissing him. Or was Justin kissing Lance? He couldn't figure it out. He was so confused. In a matter of seconds, his whole body came alive. His mind and heart told him to stop, but the rest of him told him to continue. On top of him, it appeared that Justin was having a similar dilemma.
"Uhhh Justin?" Lance said pulling away.
"Lance?" Justin said as he pulled farther away.
"What the fuck??" The both shouted almost in unison.
And Now:
"Lance, why did you kiss me?" Justin asked.
"Justin, You kissed me." Lance replied.
"But Lance..." Justin started to say as Lance pushed him on the floor.
"Justin, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling so good. Maybe you should go. Or stay, whatever, I'm going to bed now." Lance said as he headed up the stairs.
"Lance?" Justin called from the bottom of the stairs.
Lance quickly headed towards his room and closed and locked the door. He slid down behind the door, and folded his arms around his knees and quietly began to cry.
How could he do that? To two of his best friends who had been together for a long time? And Will. What would he think? Lance was quickly beside himself when he heard the front door slam and the chirping of a car alarm. Getting up and walking to the window, he saw Justin sitting inside his BMW just staring at the house. With one last look, Lance pulled the curtain shut and walked towards the bathroom.
Justin:
"Fuck! Why did I do THAT?" Justin swore to himself as he watched the retreating figure of his friend. What do I do now? He thought angrily as he gathered up the glasses and headed for Lances kitchen. I can't stay here; it would be too awkward, he thought. Gathering his hat and keys, he took one last look at the stairs and walked out the front door. Sitting in his car, he contemplated going back in there and talking to Lance, but he was afraid of getting hurt. Starting his car, he looked one last time as he saw the figure close the blinds.
The next day was a blur for both Lance and Justin. Lance awoke alone in his bed, and for a moment thought that it was all a dream. He got up, did his morning thing, and headed downstairs for breakfast where he saw the full kitchen of baked goods. Slumping his shoulders as he walked into the kitchen, he started to realize that it might not have been a dream after all. The ringing of his house phone brought him back to reality. 'That's why I have an answering machine' Lance thought as he made some coffee.
BEEP! "Lance, Its Joey. Your cell is off, and I was wondering if you wanted to do something today... call me back" Beep Beep Beep.
Realizing that the last three beeps indicated he had more messages waiting. Walking over to the machine he hit the playback button. "You have 3 new messages." The machine said. Hitting the playback button, he heard:
"Lance its Johanna. I'm sorry to bother you a home, but I have some papers for you to sign. Call me at the office, and I will fax them to you." BEEP
"Lance its JC. I was wondering if you could do me a favor? I need to go to Boston, and I was wondering if you could call that guy Will for me and see if I can get in to see the W while I'm there? Johnny wants me to check out his security. Also do you know what happened to Justin? He's been moping around here all morning like a lost puppy, and won't talk to me. Anyway, do you know your cell is off? Call me later..." BEEP BEEP
"Lance, Its Joey. Your cell is off, and I was wondering if you wanted to do something today... call me back" Beep Beep Beep.
Do I know what's the matter with Justin? Of course I do JC. He stuck his tongue in my mouth last night! That's right, your precious baby boy cheated on you with me, one of your best friends. Lance couldn't take it anymore and broke down in the middle of his kitchen.
Justin's day was no better. After he left Lance's house, he went home to find that all the guys were back already. Seeing Justin near tears, JC ushered the guys out. Going up to the room they shared, he quickly learned the Justin had fallen asleep in one of the guest rooms. Not wanting to wake his angel, JC slid out of his clothes and joined him
"Josh?" Justin asked from his semi slumber.
"Yeah baby?" JC asked with concern. Justin never called him Josh unless it was serious.
"Just hold me, please." Justin pleaded.
"Sure thing love." JC responded.
The next morning, JC was up before Justin.
"Hey handsome..."JC said as Justin slid into his seat at the table where JC had already gotten his cereal ready for him.
Justin just looked wearily at his partner.
"Just? Is everything ok?" JC asked him.
"Yeah Josh, everything is fine." Justin said as he took a spoonful of cereal.
"Justin, you know that you can talk to me right? I love you." JC said as he looked at him
"Joshua, I said I am fine. Can you please leave me be?" Justin asked dead serious.
"Ok Then. Well I have some news then. I have to go to Boston in a few days, and was going to see if you and Lance wanted to join me. It would be on our own since Johnny is paying for it in 2 weeks. Does that sound cool?" JC asked icily.
"I can't I have work to do with the Timberlake foundation and the new album. I'm sure Lance will want to go though. He's been itching see what's his name." Justin spat out.
"Justin? What's gotten into you? His name is Will, and he makes Lance happy. Something your obviously not today." JC said as he got up from the table and put his dishes in the sink. "Justin I don't know what the matter is, I have work to do. If you need me, I will be in the den." JC said quietly walking out of the kitchen.
Shocked at the events that just occurred, Justin sat at the table and neatly folded his head in his hands and started to cry.
In Beautiful Boston:
"What do you mean 'Construction delays'" I shouted into the phone. This was not the first time I was using this company, but the first time using this foreman.
"Look, Hector. I'm paying you guy's good money here, and I can't afford these delays. My suggestion is to get whatever you need done as soon as possible, because I have a meeting with Mr. Delorenzo on Friday. I would like to report good news, but have no problem reporting bad news as well. Good day Hector." I said as I hung up the phone.
Looking at the computer screen, I saw the Riker program beaming back at me.
"Yes Number One?" I asked.
"I have the memory report you asked for sir. I was in the JLM Corporation. It took me some time and understanding, but with Riker 2, I was able to determine what they wanted." He said to me.
"And?" I asked.
"It was you sir. They were looking for anything they could on specifically you. Your personal history files were accessed and your financial files were also accessed. The company files were unaffected though." He replied.
"Hmmm Sounds interesting. You can't tell who yet though?" I asked.
"No sir. It was a high official though, they had high clearance." He responded.
"Keep on it number one." I said and switched him off. Looking over the piles of paperwork on my desk, I decided to play some music to get my attention running.
"Computer load cd rack." I said.
"Please specify track." The computer replied.
"Ummm anything soft and slow by NSYNC. Random order please." I specified.
Suddenly the sounds of Selfish come over the speakers in my office. I found myself lost in thought thinking about Lance when I saw Riker's program reappear.
"Any news Number One?" I asked him.
"None sir, but you have an incoming call. Caller identifies himself as JC?" He asked with the question mark again.
"Computer, Please confirm." I said.
"Identity confirmed. Caller is Joshua Scott Chasez from Orlando Florida." The computer answered.
"Number one, Catalog his identity and put it through on my headset please."
Grabbing the headset, I answered with my standard greeting "This Will, How may I help you?"
"Will? Hi it's JC. From Florida?" He asked casually.
"Hey JC. What's happening?" I asked with genuine interest.
"Not much buddy. I hope you don't mind, I got your number from Johnny." He said hesitatingly. Not that I minded he got it from Johnny, but why not Lance?
"No not at all. So to what do I owe this call? Business or Pleasure?" I asked pleasantly.
"A little of both actually. I have to go to Boston a couple of days early, and was hoping I could get in to meet with your security staff, you know like a meet and greet?" He asked.
"Sure that's no problem. Just you or do you have traveling companions?" I asked hoping he would say that At least Lance was coming.
"Sadly just me for now. Justin has some work to do with his album, and I can't seem to get a hold of young Lansten." He said into the phone.
"Maybe I will call him later and see what he's up to." I said back.
"Sure that sounds cool." JC said.
"Hey JC? Where are you gonna stay when you're here?" I asked him.
"Well I was gonna check out the security, and probably stay there." He said.
"Nonsense. JC, I have a huge apartment, you're more than welcome to stay with me." I smiled into the phone.
"Really? Do you mean that?" He asked.
"Sure. We are friends right?" I asked him back. "Besides, that apartment is quite lonely with just my computer." I said.
Taking down his flight information, we continued on for a minute or two when he had to excuse himself to get to work. Looking at the pile of work still on my desk, I said I would see him Friday and hung up. Turning back to my computer, called up the Riker program.
"Yes sir?" he asked as he came on the screen.
"Number one, any news yet?" I asked him.
"Actually there was a breakthrough a few moments ago. I was able to tap back into the JLM corporation system. It's a dummy sir." He said
Why would someone want to access my files from a dummy corporation?
"Number One, Try to get me any information about who set up the JLM Corporation."
"I will try sir." He responded.
Back in Orlando:
JC was trying to catch up some loose ends before he left for Boston the next day. Seeing as he was trying to spend time with Justin before he left, he was taking a red eye flight that would put him in Boston at around 8:00 am on Friday.
"Hey Justin? Have you seen my jersey?" He asked.
Getting no response, he went into the next room looking for his lover. Seeing him sitting on the bed, he climbed in next to him.
"Huuh, Oh Jace... its in the laundry sweetie." Justin replied looking sad still.
"Justin, are you ever gonna tell me what's wrong?" JC asked.
"Oh Jace, Please stop. I don't want to talk right now, ok?" Justin said disgustedly.
"Listen Justin. I don't know what's going on with you. I'm trying to help, but you keep shutting me down!" JC said as he got up from the bed. "I mean it's as if I did something to you. If I did, you need to tell me!" JC was shouting now.
"Josh, calm down. Its nothing you did, but something I did. I did it JC. Not you, not the group. ME!" Justin shouted, as he got closer to JC.
"What did you do?" JC asked in confusion.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Justin shouted.
Confused, JC stood looking at Justin.
"Justin? Please just answer me one question." JC said quietly.
"What Josh." Justin answered him while rubbing his temples.
"Do you love me still?" JC asked.
"Huuh?" Justin asked spinning around.
"Yes or No Justin. Do you love me still?" JC asked again quietly.
"Yes Josh, with all my heart." Justin replied.
"So we are ok then?" JC asked.
"Yes babe." Justin answered him while turning back again towards the window.
"Justin, I Love you. I hope you know that. I know that you love me, and I believe you when you say that. However sweetie, I think we need some time apart. I was going to ask you if you want dinner or whatever before I have to leave, but I am going to the airport and try to get an earlier flight." JC said as he left the room
Turning around quickly Justin was faced with an empty room.
Lance was sitting on his couch when JC showed up. Knocking once and then letting himself in, JC waved to his friend.
"Hey Lance." JC said sitting down on the couch.
"JC." Lance said staring at the TV.
"Did you get my message?" JC asked.
"Yeah I got it." Lance replied still not looking at JC
"Well? Do you want to go or not?" JC asked him.
"I got work to do." Lance said.
"Dammit Lance! What the hell is your problem? If I don't get this shit form Justin, I get it from you! What is the freaking problem?" JC shouted.
"JC, please calm down I have a head ache." Was all Lance could say.
It was the truth, Lance did have a headache. He was concentrating too hard on what was going on. He knew that he loved Justin but only as a brother. Now the question was did he love Will? For the first time in the past 20 minutes, he looked at JC.
Seeing the tears in his friend's eye, JC stood up.
"Well Lance, I have to go. I'm going to hit the airport and see if I can get an earlier flight.
I hope that you and Justin can figure out what the problem is. I will be staying with Will, I'm sure you have the number?" JC asked.
A shocked Lance looked up at him.
"You're staying with Will?" He asked him.
"You could be too, but you're just as bad as Justin. Do me a favor Lance? Keep an eye on him, and make sure he gets on the plane with you guys? I think I'm gonna stay there until you guys get there." JC said as he looked at his watch. "Good bye Lance." JC said.
Lance didn't get a chance to speak as he heard the door shut.
Up in Boston:
"Riker to Benson." I heard the program
"Go ahead number one." I said
"Sir I found the person that was looking for you." He said
"Who?" I said intrigued.
"The IP address is registered to the Greg Corporation. I can't be positive of the user, but the portable being used was Mr. Greg's himself." He said.
"Wow Number one. What kind of the corporation is the Greg Corporation?" I asked.
"It is a software company sir. They specialize in programs similar to mine, but on larger scales. Such as governments and things of that nature." He responded.
"Wow number one... keep me informed." I said. Turning around in my seat, I heard him one last time.
"Sir? Mr. Chasez has registered onboard flight 884 out of Orlando. He will land at Logan at 9:00pm this evening." He said.
"Thank you Number one. I will be there." I said with a smile.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to announce that we will be landing in Boston shortly. The weather is a mild 68 degrees. We thank you for flying Sky Blue, and welcome you to the bay state." The flight attendants voice came over the loudspeaker.
JC looked out the window and pleased to see the lights of the beautiful city coming into view.
"This your first time?" The man next to him asked.
"No. Just usually have my own jet." JC said. He hated to tell people that, but it was true.
"Me too. But it's in the shop with the Jag." The man sneered at him.
'Oh Well," JC thought. 'You can't win everyone.'
"Attention all passengers. Flight 884 from Orlando has arrived at gate 4." The announcement stated. I stood up and headed for gate 4. Looking around, I saw the passengers start to de plane. From my vantage point, I could see a tall very attractive man stride out of the gate. Unfortunately, as I explained to Lance, his disguise made him stand out. I could see his discomfort as he watched the people around him watching him.
Walking up to him, I quickly said, "Cousin Ray from Minnesota? It's got be you!" I shouted as I pulled him close to me. Whispering in his ear I said, "Follow my lead."
Realizing it was me, he grabbed me tighter.
"Billy, I haven't seen you in ages!" He produced this southern drawl and I had to make sure it was him.
"Come on cus... ma wants to see you! Lets get your bags!" I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside. As I had pulled him completely past the baggage check, He looked at me.
"Uhhh Cus? Baggage claim is over there." He said.
"And my diver is over there. Give him your ticket, and let him get them." I said as I walked up to my driver. "This is my friend, Josh. Please get his bags and bring them to the car, ok?" I asked him
"Yes sir." Came the reply.
JC and I made our way back to the limo.
"So JC.... Why did you decide to come out earlier?" I asked him.
"Well I really do have work to do here, and I figured what the hell. Besides the boys are driving me NUTS!" JC laughed.
"Oh you know them Boys will be Boys!" I said as I opened the minibar. "You want?" I asked him.
"Cool. Beer please. But seriously, Justin and Lance have been really bothering me this past week. It's like they both are on the rag or something." JC said as he opened his beer.
"Hmmm... I haven't spoken to Lance yet. I will have to see what's up with him later. I was kind of hoping he would have come with you." I said sipping my beer. Noticing that my driver had returned, I motioned for him to start for home.
"It was a good flight?" I asked him.
"Yeah it was ok. There was this rude guy on the plane, but hey you get used to them." He said.
"Yup. Us New Englander's can be a handful at times." I chuckled. It was a short time from the airport to my apartment, and finally I noticed we were there.
"Well here we are." I said.
Getting out of the limo JC simply stated, "Wow."
"You like?" I asked him as I made my way up the elevator.
"Yes Definitely." JC responded.
Making our way to the living room, I asked him if he was hungry. Saying that he hadn't eaten since this morning, I decided to order Chinese food. Making my way into the living room where I had left JC I found him wandering through my collection of entertainment.
"Wow, you are a fan of music huuh?" He asked me.
"You know it. This one is my favorite." I grabbed a cd By Kenny G and popped it in.
Suddenly the room was swathed in lower light and the smooth sounds of his saxophone.
"Sorry about that..." I said as I made my way to the computer.
"No leave it like that. Its nice after the glamour lights." He said referring to the lights of his profession.
As I made my way around the room, I noticed he was swaying to the music.
"Mr. Chasez? Do you know this song?" I asked him.
"Yes I do. I used to listen to him all the time." He said as he hummed the melody.
Just joking with my new friend I sauntered up to him and asked, "May I have this dance?"
Not knowing what to say he just nodded.
"Wow if I knew it was going to be that easy, I would have asked you a long time ago!" I said as he pulled me into his arms. Wow, I thought Justin is lucky to have this guy. Of course I wanted Lance, but if it didn't work out, I would definitely get with JC. Thinking of Lance as JC and I maneuvered around my spacious living room, I quickly fell into the moment. Looking up at JC, I saw he was feeling it to. Out of nowhere, He reached down and kissed me.
TBC!!
