Love Between 2 Friends - Chapter 1

There he was sitting in the dark of his hotel room thinking to himself just
how much he wished he could tell his friends.  Although he didn't want to
hurt his or his friends' careers, he didn't want to live a lie the rest of
his life.  He was in a great dilemma.  He knew Chris would understand because
Chris was the most open-minded.  Then there was Joey.  Joey was very laid
back and JC was sure Joey wouldn't mind either.  The two he was worried about
were Lance and Justin.  Lance was a very religious person and his family
taught him to look down on gay people.  He was worried about Justin because
he has known Justin the longest out of all of them.  Ever since the MMC him
and Justin have been best friends.  They were always honest with each other
and JC hated keeping this a secret but he couldn't bear for Justin to shut
him out of his life.

"NO!!!" JC heard coming from across the hall.

"That was Justin," he thought to himself.

He ran across the hall to find out what was going on.  He got to the door and
found that it was unlocked.  He went in and ran to Justin's bed.

"Justin" JC said to his younger friend.  "Justin, wake up.  You're having a
bad dream"

"NO!!!!!" Justin said sitting upright in his bed.  He had sweat pouring down
his face and bear chest.  JC couldn't help but to notice the beauty in
Justin's sweat covered body.

JC was quickly pulled from his trance when he heard Justin crying.

"Justin?  What's wrong, J?" JC asked.

Justin pulled JC into a tight hug and cried on his shoulder.  He cried for
about an hour until he calmed down enough to talk to JC.

"Just, bud, what's wrong?" JC asked.

"I thought I'd lost you.  I thought you were dead." Justin cried.

"No.  I'm right here.  I'm not leaving you.  I'll never leave you, Just.  I
love you too much to leave you."

Justin stopped crying and looked into JC's eyes.

"You...l...l...love me?" Justin asked.

JC looked like a deer caught in headlights at the realization of what he
said.  It was now his turn to cry. He sobbed for Justin to forgive him for
what he said.

Justin calmed JC down so that he could get him to say it again.

"Please answer me Josh.  Did you say that you love me?"

"Yes" JC, said. "I've loved you since the MMC."

Justin pulled JC into a hug again and continued to cry on his shoulder.  JC
was scared by now.  He told the love of his life that he loved him and all he
did was started crying.  He wasn't sure if they were tears of joy or tears of
anger and hatred.

'Get real, Josh' he thought to himself.  'why would he hug you and cry if he
was mad at you or hated you?'

JC sat and comforted Justin for another hour or so until Justin had cried
himself back to sleep.  Or so Josh thought.  Justin was very much awake.  He
wanted to see how Josh would act now that he came out to Justin.

Thinking Justin was asleep, Josh laid him back down in his bed and put him
back under the covers.  Before leaving the room he bent down and placed a
kiss on Justin's forehead.

"I love you Justin" JC said before walking to the door.

"Josh?" Justin called in a low almost inaudible whisper.

"Yeah, Just?" JC said turning around.

"I love you too," he said.

Josh smiled and turned around and went to leave before hearing Justin call
his name again.

"Josh?" Justin called again.

"Yeah?" JC said with a smile on his face.

"Will you sleep in here with me tonight?" Justin asked shyly.

"Sure" JC said.

JC climbed into Justin's bed and spooned up against him.

"I love you Josh" Justin said before letting sleep over come him.

"I love you too, Just." JC said with a smile on his face.

The morning sun broke through the curtains shining onto JC's sleeping face
waking him up.  He covered his face with his pillow only to have it pulled
off.  He looked up and saw Justin grinning down at him.

"Morning" Justin said.

"Yeah...you too..." JC said confused.  "Aren't you supposed to be grumpy in the
mornings?"

"Not today.  Know why?" Justin asked in his happiest voice.

'He's so cute when he's happy like this' JC thought to himself.

"No.  Why are you in a good mood this morning?" JC asked knowing the answer
already.

"It's my BIRFUMDAY!!!"  Justin yelled standing up and jumping on the bed.

"Hate to brake to ya curly but you're an adult now.  So jumping on the bed is
off limits." JC said in his best fatherly tone.

"Come on Jayce...it's my birthday...celebrate with me?" Justin asked with his
best puppy eyes.

JC rolled his eyes, stood up and started jumping on the bed with Justin.  The
door flew open and Chris and Joey burst into the room surprising Justin and
JC.  JC didn't realize he was as close to the edge of the bed as he was and
he fell off the bed onto his ass.

"OUCH!!!" he yelled.

Everyone busted up laughing, except JC.

"That's it...laugh it up.  You guys are always laughing at my expense." JC said
in mock anger.

They stopped laughing and Justin went and sat on JC's lap on the floor.

"I'm sorry Josh.  You know we love you" Justin said planting a big wet sloppy
kiss on JC's cheek.

Little did Justin know JC was enjoying this a little too much.  That is until
he felt a poking in his lower thigh.  He looked at JC with raised eyebrows
and JC blushed and shrugged his shoulders.  They both started laughing and
Chris and Joey just stood there in confusion.

"I dunno what you two are laughing at - and frankly - I don't think I wanna
know" Joey said walking out of the room with Chris in tow.

They started laughing again and Justin got up and started to get ready for
their day off.

"Just.  Can I talk to you about last night?" JC asked shyly playing with the
hem of his shirt.

"Sure Jayce.  What's up?" Justin asked.

"Remember how you told me you loved me, too?"

Justin nodded his head in remembrance.

"Did you really mean it?" JC asked timidly.

"Look at me Josh." Justin said firmly.  "Have I ever lied to you before?
Have I ever told you something I didn't mean to say?"

"No."

"Yes, Josh.  I meant what I said.  I've loved you since that day on the MMC
that you came to sit with me instead of your usual friends.  And now that I
am older and wiser, I've come to realize that not only do I love you, but
that I am also in love with you."

JC looked at Justin with teary eyes and leaned in and planted a small kiss on
Justin's lips.  Not a long kiss, not a passionate kiss, just a kiss of love
and gratitude.

JC pulled back and stared into the blue lakes of Justin's eyes.  They both
leaned back in for a more passionate kiss.  Justin's tongue poked at JC's
lips and JC opened his mouth granting Justin entry.  Their tongues wrestled
for a while in JC's mouth.  They both pulled back looking for air and looked
into each other's eyes again.

"So does this mean...?" JC started to ask.

"If that kiss didn't just answer that question I sure as hell hope this
does." Justin said moving over to JC and grabbing his manhood through his
pajama pants.  He rubbed JC's growing erection for a while 'til there was a
knock at the door.  Justin got up and walked to the door like nothing ever
happened while JC laid on the bed with a flustered look on his face.

Before Justin got to the door, JC yelled, |"Don't start something you can't
finish!" earning an evil grin from Justin.

Justin opened the door to find Lance with a questioning look on his face.

"Should I just ignore what JC jast said to you and the giant and might i add,
VERY noticeable bulge in his pants that you couldn't ignore even if you
tried???" Lance asked inquisitively.
