DISCLAIMER: I don't know O-town or the Backstreet Boys and am not implying anything. This is just fantasy-if you are offended by homosexual content or it is illegal for you to read it then please leave. I am not affiliated with them J records, Jive records, MTV, ABC or anything.
The only thing I have remotely in common with these boys is that Ashley Parker Angel and I were born on the exact same day-August 1, 1981.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: I have 4 people I want to thank now.

Nick and Ashley-Chapter Thirteen
Ashley woke up with the mother of all hangovers. He sat up in bed and clutched his head, while falling back onto the pillow.
"Ugh, damn my head hurts." Ashley moaned out as he looked down and noticed that he was in just his boxers. "How did I get practically naked?" Ashley asked as Nick began to stir and wake up.
"You don't remember strip beer pong?" Nick questioned his boyfriend.
"Nevermind, I don't wanna know. I'm gonna go downstairs and get some Advil from the lobby or something. I'll get you some too." Ashley said as he got up and threw on some sweats, a t-shirt and his Adidas sandals.
Ashley stepped out of the elevator and began to walk towards the little shop attached to the hotel. He grabbed a bottle of aspirin and some water bottles and walked towards the cashier to pay. As he was paying for his things he looked to the side and saw his face on the cover of a tabloid.
'Great, now what did they conjure up?' Ashley thought to himself.
The cover read "BSB/O-town Romance" and Ashley practically had a heart attack. He grabbed it, lowering his head so that the cashier didn't recognize him and paid for the rest of the things.
He got to the elevator and began to read the article. By the time he got back to his room he was practically in tears.
"What's wrong Ash?" Nick asked as he got up from the chair he was watching TV in.
"Lou went public. He went straight to the tabloids after we fired him and told them everything. They know about Devon and Dan. They know about Jacob and AJ and they know about us." Ashley said through sobs.
"It's ok Ash. Calm down. We'll figure this out. I'm sure it will be ok." Nick comforted Ashley trying to calm himself down at the same time to be strong for Ashley.
A loud knock came from the door and Nick went over to answer it as Ashley sat on the bed and put his head in his hands.
Behind the door was Dan Miller, looking almost as bad as Ashley if not worse.
"Hey Nick. I'm assuming you guys heard already. Clive is on speakerphone in my room. He wants all the O-town guys in there to talk." Dan said.
"Alright thanks Dan, we'll be right over." Nick replied
"How's he doing?" Dan asked
"He'll be better once we figure all of this out." Nick said
"I think we all will be." Dan said as he started back towards his room.
All five members of O-town were gathered in Dan's hotel room. Along with them were AJ McLean and Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and Devon Sawa. They decided that they were all involved in this so they all should be there.
"Alright Clive we're all here-Nick, AJ and Devon too." Dan said into the phone.
"Good morning everyone. For those of you that are not familiar with me I am Clive Davis-owner of J records and manager for O-town." Clive started. "We have quite a predicament on our hands here. Lou Pearlman went to the National Enquirer and sold his story for a nice chunk of money." Clive told everyone the obvious.
"What are we gonna do Clive?" Jacob asked worriedly.
"You guys are my sons. I would never let anyone hurt you and I will take the brunt of the media. We are going to have to totally deny it guys. Lou was stupid enough to go to a tabloid. No one really believes a tabloid. I will explain at a press conference later this afternoon that he was mad after being fired and since he was not financially stable, sold a fake story to the press just to make money." Clive answered.
"Do you think everyone will believe that?" Ashley asked.
"I'm gonna flex some of the reputation that I've earned all these years. I want you guys to be happy and if these relationships keep you happy and everything running smoothly then I am all for them. I will put all of this on my own back and they will be forced to believe someone of my stature." Clive said.
"I can speak for the rest of us when I say you've always been like a father to us Clive, especially me. We really appreciate this." Jacob said.
"Don't mention it. Now you guys go and get ready. If I'm not mistaken, you guys have rehearsal all day today and then you have a show tonight so go out and do your best and keep making me proud." Clive said.
Everyone left with a resounding thank you to their manager and went back to their rooms to get ready. Nick walked over to Ashley and gave him a comforting hug.
"Do you think everything is gonna be alright Nicky?" Ashley said like a little child would.
"Clive is a powerful man in this business. You guys are very lucky to have him. I think everything will be just fine." Nick replied.
"I guess. I hate hiding our relationship. I want to just run through the streets telling everyone how happy I am with you but I'm stuck inside a trap and I feel like it's eating me alive." Ashley said.
Nick pulled Ashley back so he could look into his blue eyes.
"Ash, as long as we are happy together and the two of us know the love that flows between us then we're ok. We've got great friends who are very supportive and management that is very flexible. We can't really ask for more." Nick said.
"I know, I just...I love you. That's all I can say right now." Ashley said with a smile.
"There's that smile I love so much." Nick said as he gently placed a kiss on Ashley's forehead before both men began to get ready for a hectic day of answering questions about Lou, rehearsal and the concert tonight.
The limos pulled up to the United Center and all the boys filed into the arena. Josh was waiting for them with a bunch of questions. After everything was cleared they decided to get to work.
"Ok I'm gonna need everyone except Dan, Howie and Trevor. You guys were perfect. Everyone else was a little off. I know things are a little crazy today but we gotta focus. Chicago is a good crowd and they deserve our best." Josh said.
"Woo hoo! I'm da coolest." Dan said gloating as he ran off towards backstage.
He rounded the corner and saw Devon leaning against a wall. He slowed his run to a strut and eyed up his beautiful, blond, Canadian boyfriend.
"Hey sexy, come here often?" Dan gave a cheesy pick up line trying to draw a laugh.
Devon pulled him by the shirt inside a room that looked to be an office but they couldn't tell since both men were too preoccupied with each other's tongues in their mouths. Devon pushed Dan onto the desk so that he was sitting. While kissing his neck he unbuckled Dan's belt and lowered his jeans to the floor. He massaged his cock through boxer-briefs, which were also removed very quickly after that. Devon dropped to his knees and took a hold of Dan's 7 inch cut dick and put his mouth over it taking it all in.
Devon went down on Dan's cock at a very swift pace reaching up towards Dan's dark nipples from time to time when he wasn't running his hands through his dark, thick bush of pubic hair or massaging his balls. Devon grabbed Dan's back and reached underneath towards his ass to grab onto for leverage. This increased the pace and Dan couldn't take much more. He grabbed Devon's head and ran his hand through the golden locks. With a moan Dan unloaded spurt after spurt of cum into Devon's mouth, which was swallowed immediately by his lover.
Back at the ranch, rehearsal was over and people were just standing in groups, starting conversation as they waited for the crew to finish building their stage so that they could get a good feel for where things were.
Nick was standing off towards the side of the stage by himself, just drinking from a Poland Springs bottle enjoying the time that he wasn't dancing while Ashley and Jacob were off towards the front of the stage talking.
"So you and AJ are like official huh?" Ashley asked his friend.
"Yeah he's awesome. I can just talk to him. Sometimes we just lay there and just talk all night. It's amazing." Jacob replied.
"That's awesome. Can you imagine how many teenage girls would envy us if they knew we both dated a BSB member?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, speaking of which, how's your man doing?" Jacob asked as they both turned around to look at him.
"That is the perfect man. I've never been so happy in my entire life. The time we spend together is just perfect." Ashley said with a smile on his face.
That smile was quickly erased however as Ashley noticed a wire snap above Nick and watched as one of the over head lights came hurling at a great speed towards him. Nick's back was turned not facing this and Ashley just watched in horror as the light came closer and closer. Ashley seemed to just react to an instinct inside of him and ran towards Nick and dove and pushed him out of the way. As he did this, the light clipped Ashley sending him flying across the stage. As he was falling he hit his head on the floor and was out cold, back down on the stage.
Nick came running over to his unconscious boyfriend and tried to wake him up.
"Oh God Ashley are you ok? Wake up Ash...wake up!" Nick began to scream as he took out his cell phone and dialed 911 to get them to come as fast as possible.
Reporters lined the conference room with cameras, tape recorders and pencils. As Clive walked in cameras flashed and hands raised immediately.
"There will be time for questions after I have said everything." Clive said as he spoke into the microphone attached to the podium.
"I have two important pieces of information to pass along. The first is regarding Lou Pearlman and the National Enquirer. Lou was recently fired from O-town for embezzling money from the group. He was not mentally or financially stable at the time of the interview with the tabloid. He gave a completely fake story as a way of getting back at us. None of it is true and I can give you my word on that. Second of all, I have some bad news to pass along, which will make these stupid rumors look very petty at this time. Ashley Parker Angel of O-town was injured in a rehearsal accident earlier today. He was struck by a falling light and is in intensive care at a hospital that will remain undisclosed to the media. This is a very grave situation and I plead the media to please give the family and friends space to be by his side without cameras. The tour will be postponed until further notice. We will take questions now."
Cameras flashed and arms flew up in the air as Clive batted them off for about an hour and a half. Cameras also flashed in front of the hospital where Ashley was being held. Apparently, the media took a good guess but was restricted to outside. The cameras that flashed were for two men that stepped out of a Durango. Nick Carter and Dan Miller, possibly the two closest people to Ashley were bombarded by reporters asking them a thousand questions.
"Nick is it true that you're here to see your boyfriend Ashley?" A reporter asked.
Nick looked at him with such disgust that he was ready to unload a punch when Dan stepped in front of him.
"Nick is a friend of Ashley's and is simply concerned about his health as we all are." Dan said as he and Nick made their way into the hospital safe from all the cameras and reporters.
"I don't know if I can do this Dan." Nick said with tears in his eyes.
Dan walked over to him and put his arm on his shoulder.
"Nick, Ashley is my best friend and I know him better than anyone. He needs you right now. He needs you to be strong. Those tears aren't gonna bring him back. Ashley's a survivor, but he needs you." Dan said with such a conviction that seemed to bring Nick back into reality.
Dan walked up to the front desk and found out what room he was being kept in and pointed Nick in the right direction. With a few more encouraging words he sent Nick into the room.
Nick saw Ashley laying in the bed in the cold hospital room. He was hooked up to more wires then Nick could take. His head was bandaged around the temple areas, leaving his light blond hair to stick out of the top. He had a bruise on his arm where the light had hit him and sent him flying.
Nick sat down in the chair next to him and began to cry. He remembered Dan's words and picked his head up.
"Ashley, I need you to wake up baby. I can't do this without you. You have to fight for me." Nick said but it fell on deaf ears.
Nick kept vigil at Ashley's side as friends and bandmates came in. After a few hours a knock came at the door. A woman walked into the room, looking just as distraught as Nick.
"Oh my god." The woman said as she knelt down next to Ashley. "I'm Ashley's mother. Are you one of his friends?" Paula Angel asked as she extended her hand.
Nick didn't know what to say. He was stuck. He knew that neither of them had told their parents yet and he didn't want to put Ashley in that position.
"Yeah I'm Nick." Nick replied to the clueless mother.
A man walked into the room and brushed right by Nick.
"Is he ok?" Ron Angel asked his wife as he looked at his stepson lying in the bed.
"I'm not sure I just got here." Paula said.
Ron turned around and looked at Nick who was just standing there like a lost little boy.
"Who are you?" Ron asked with a nasty demeanor.
"That's my boyfriend." Ashley said unexpectedly from the bed as he woke up from consciousness.
Nick ran over to the bed and smiled at Ashley, thanking god that he woke up. Nick then realized what Ashley just said and turned around towards Ron and Paula Angel who did not have a very accepting look on their faces.
