---------------------------------------


***Lance***


I couldn't believe that I was finally free of John and I found a great guy
like Shane.  It was too early to say but I think I was in love.

During the ride home Shane and his brothers were the main topic.

"Man I didn't know Shane had brothers, and quads at that."  Justin
exclaimed

"I know and did you see Jelani, he looked so hott!"  Chris exclaimed, "They
all looked the same."  Jc laughed.

"No" Chris defended, "Jelani's hair was spiked quite nicely I might add."
"What ever'' Justin added "But for any one to have twins, they are pretty
cute."

"Ohh no he's on the prowl again."  Joey sighed

"But if they are anything like Shane, they'll be immune to his game."
Chris snorted

"What ever" Justin laughed, " know what I want and, I'm gonna get it."  He
said smugly as he stepped out of the limo entering the hotel.

I decided I wanted to see Justin fail so I called Shane's house to arrange
a proper meeting of the friends and family.

Dialing the number I wasn't greeted with the friendly voice of my affection
but that of a very angry and hostile one.

"Can I please speak to Shane?"  I asked sounding like a small kid, "Who is
dis?" A annoyed voice asked.

"La-Lance" "La-wha?"  The voice asked annoyed.  "Lance" I spoke again.  I
heard someone talking in the background asking who it was.

"Hello?" The new voice asked.  "Hi may I speak to Shane."

"Hi Lance, This is Rajin."  He said in a voice that was tired.  "  Um, I
don't think this is the best time."  He said in a reluctant voice, which
worried me.

"Why, what's wrong?"  I asked practically yelling into the phone.  Hearing
him talking a breath I calmed down a bit awaiting his answer.

"He was attacked," I sucked in my breath as I heard this "He's ok we scared
the guy off when before anything happened."

I let out a bit of air but was still tense "How is he?"  It was a stupid
question, but I wanted to hear something to try and ease my fears.

"He's ok but he doesn't want to stay here, so we're going to a hotel."

"NO!!!!!"  I shouted a bit to quickly. "I mean stay here, with us."

"Umm I don't know, when either Shane or I are hurt in anyway, the older
brothers get very protective."

"I understand, but trust that I would never hurt him. I just want to make
sure that he is ok."

The line was quiet as he thought it over.

"Alright, we'll be there in a few minutes."  He said reluctantly.

Hanging up the phone, Lance went to tell the other guys to expect company.

"Why Lance what's up?"  Jc asked.  "I don't know but when I called Shane's,
Rajin said that he was attacked.

"Oh Shit, is he ok!" Chris asked.  "Rajin said he was, but he didn't seem
to sure."

It took them about 30mins to get here but it seemed like hours. When they
finally reached our suite Shane ran to my arms embracing me in a hug.  I
let a tear escape my eye as I realized he could have been seriously hurt.
Justin sensing that we needed comfort came up behind Shane to join in the
hug.

When he put his arms around Shane's waist, I felt him stiffen dramatically.
His hands that were on my back, clawed at me like a lifeline.  His
breathing quickened and he started to hyperventilate.  Justin not realizing
what was happening just held tighter.  Looking into his eyes, the grays
became an abyss of pain, and need.

His voice barely auditable cried out "please no".

I don't know what happened but a surge of anger came over me and moving my
hands down Shane's back I reached the base of his spine.  Raising my hands
a bit I pushed Justin off of him.  Taking Shane back into a full hug I held
him protectively while watching everyone's movements.

Justin stood with a hurt face, not knowing why I pushed him away.  I didn't
mean to hurt his feeling but he wasn't helping Shane at all.  Rajin must
have picked up on this cause pulling Justin to side he whisper into his
ear.  See Justin's face turn to that of understanding, I assumed that he
now understood what I did.

"Ok so where do we sleep."  Remy finally spoke up.  "Well we can do it so
that each of you will room with one of us." Jc explained.

"Ok so since Shane will be with Lance, I'll stay with Justin."  Rajin
stated.  "If you want you can stay with me." Chris shyly offered Jelani.
"Yeah thanks."  Came his reply.  And you can stay with me Remy Jc offered.
"Ok."

Brothers taking time to comfort Shane left to go to their rooms.

***Open Field***

Shane and Lance both entered the bedroom.  "Are you ok baby?"  Lance asked
Shane as he held him close.  "Yeah I just wanna sleep now if that's ok."
"Yeah babe no problem."  As Shane and Lance undressed and got into bed.
"Lance? Could you hold me?"  "Yeah babe, no problem, I'll be here for you
all night."  He reassured as he kissed Shane lightly on his lips.  Sleep
soon over took the couple.

Rajin and Justin both decided to hit the hay.  "Um, You can share a with me
if you don't feel weird."  Justin offered.

"Ok thanks."  Rajin replied as pulled his shirt from over his head.  Justin
stood there stunned as he drooled over Rajin's chest and torso.  He bare
noticed when Rajin came over to shake him.

"Are you ok?"  He asked worried.  "Um yeah just wondering what side u
wanted." Justin covered.

"Oh, umm I'll take the left side if you don't mind."  Justin was heading to
the bathroom when Rajin was slipping into bed.  He called to Justin.  "Well
if I'm sleep before you get back good night, and thanx."  He winked and
slipped into bed.

If he wound have kept looking he would have spotted the chubby Justin
started to sport as he rushed to close the door.  Not wanted to raise
suspension so he just went to the bathroom and pissed and slid into bed.
Lying on his side Justin looked at Rajin's sleeping form thinking this is
going to be a bumpy ride.

Chris sat reading a book as Jelani pacing the room in bottled anger.

What's wrong Chris finally asked "Dude what's wrong, your going to wear a
hole in the floor?"

Jelani's eyes cut to Chris as he continued to pace.  "I can't stand this
helpless feeling."  Putting his book down he motioned for Jelani to
elaborate.

"Shane goes missing for months, he won't talk to any of us, and I wasn't
there to help when he got attacked, Rajin is getting a bit too wild and
Remy isn't any better."

Sighing he sat on the bed hanging his head in defeat.  Moving to the bed
Chris placed his hands on his shoulders.

"I think you are taking on to many of everyone else problems."  Chris said
as he messaged Jelani's shoulders.  Feeling this Jelani loosed up under the
magic feel of Chris hands.  "Tell me this?" Chris asked as he continued to
massage.  "You being one of the oldest, you must feel that you must take
care of everyone, but when you do."  Chris asked kneeling in front of
Jelani "who takes care of you?"

Jelani blushed at the question.  "Wh-who me, I-I couldn't I'm too shy, I
mean look at me."  Jelani said standing up presenting himself to Chris.

And taking the chance he did just that, taking in every detail.  It was
true even though he was 3 years older than Shane; he was still a mirror
image.  Everything was the same except Shane's hair hung like Nick Carters,
but Jelani's hair stood in spikes.  Instead of stone gray, Jelani's eyes
were that of a golden brown that held a light all there own.

"I'm sorry" Chris apologized "I don't see the problem."  "Yeah whatever, no
need to pretend your interested." Jelani said giving a little laugh.  "Hey
you never know, people can surprise you."  Chris laughed giving his famous
smile known to melt hearts and wet pants.

Jelani got a look on his face like he was in a far off place.  With a
slight smile narrowing his eyes he gave Chris a mischievous smile.  Break
his trance Jelani wondered where he would be sleeping.

"You could sleep with me."  Chris quickly offered.

"I don't think so, I sleep kinda wild."  Jelani said pulling a pillow from
the bed and heading for a chair. "That's ok I do too."  Chris answered
quickly, as he smacked himself mentally.  'What the hell was that, (I do
too), yeah that makes since to share a bed. I should just whip it out and
ask 'wanna play'.

:"Ok sure." Jelani answered as he started to undress, shocking Chris
walking to the bathroom to brush his teeth

Placing paste on his brush Chris close the medicine cabinet and looking
into the mirror.  In the coroner he spotted Jelani pulling off his shirt.
Watching as each muscle rippled under the perfectly tone bronze skin.

'Gat damn' Chris thought to himself, watching like in a trance he forgot to
keep brushing as Jelani slid his gray sweats off revealing black silk
boxers, and smooth muscular legs.  As Jelani got into bed, Chris was
unaware he was watching his every move.  Quickly putting his toothbrush
down Chris walk out of the bathroom.

He saw Jelani reading a book entitled 'Properties of Electricity'.
Removing his glasses Jelani looked up at Chris.  His face changed from that
of happiness to confusion and then to a mask of laughter.  Shane nearly
fell out of the bed rolling with laughter.

Chris not understanding what he was laughing at got a bit upset.  "What
wrong with you."  He asked a bit jumpy.  Not able to stop laughing Jelani
held up his hands as to say wait.

Getting up and walking past Chris still in a fit of laughter, he went into
the bathroom retrieving a washcloth.  Coming back to Chris still giggling
he put his hand on Chris's chest and the cloth to Chris's face.

"You tell me not to worry about taking care of anyone else, but if I didn't
who would take care of you?"  He asked din a low soothing voice, wiping
Chris's face of toothpaste that was forgotten.  Taking extra time on around
the lips Jelani's eyes where fixed as he realized how inviting they were.

Realizing what he was doing he began to pull away.  But Chris had other
plan as he placed his arm around Jelani's waist.

As though an invisible force pulling them together their lips met in a
simple kiss.  Pulling apart Chris's eyes met his.

"Let me take care of you."

Leaning into Chris Jelani gave another kiss as an answer to Chris's plea.
Taking his hand Chris lead Jelani to the bed pulling back the covers for
Jelani to slid in.  As he did Chris slid in next to him.  Chris laying on
his back Jelani lay on his chest listening to his heartbeat and breathing
patterns.

Soon Chris's breath became shallow and Jelani knew he was asleep. Looking
upon his angelic face, Jelani knew he was falling hard.  But he wondered
when the walls of reality finally corner him and his brothers, and the
cloud of deception fades, who will take care off me then.

Lying back on Chris's chest he fell into a dreamless slumber.
