If you are under 18 or not of legal age in your country, please do not read
on. If you couldn't accept themes of homosexuality and the like, please
don't read on. This is a story concerning gay males having intimate
relationships and is considered FOR ADULTS ONLY due to its sexual theme and
contents. BUT if you really like this stuff, please don't tell others. This
disclaimer is for your protection and mine as well.

Everything in this story is purely FICTIONAL. Or in simpler terms, it's not
true!!! Even if this story involves the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and other
famous celebrities all that happen in here is fictional... again, it's not
true. If there are instances that it scenes are similar to what happened in
the real world, it doesn't mean that it's what really happened. The events
are mere fabrication of my overimaginative mind. I don't know anything
about their sexuality, as far as I and the world know, they're straight as
an arrow so I dunno if they are gay (but I do have my speculations) or not
but I wrote this out of freedom of speech and my love for these guys and
slash fiction. I don't own or know the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC or other
cited celebrity in the story personally. AGAIN, it's NOT TRUE!!! But don't
we all hope that it's true... hehehehe...

 Chapter 32
------------

Brian and I stepped out of the room with our fingers still intertwined. How
I wish that we could do this in a daily basis. But he's career makes it
impossible but I still hope that someday, my dream will be a reality. We
spotted Alex just standing out of Lance's room. He looked so lost like he
didn't know what to do. "Why don't you go in?" I queried as we walk to the
same door.

"Um..." Alex answered. "I'm a little bit shy coz I don't know them really."
He then blushed. It was so out of character of Alex. He's my extrovert
brother and he's being shy about this.

I just rolled my eyes. "Geez, you act like you're a toddler." I said and
ruffled his hair that he hates so much. He just glared at me. Where's the
shyness now? I knocked at the door.

After a few seconds, the door opened and out came Lance's head. "Hey!" He
greeted us with a smile and he opened the door wider. JC was fighting off
his drowsiness with his head laid on the lap of Nick who looked like he
just woke up. Nick would be asleep in a minute or two by the looks of
it. Justin was eating his cereal silently. "Come in." Lance told us.

"Hi guys!" I said cheerfully but they just responded with a groan.

"You're too cheerful. It's still so early." JC commented as buried his head
on Nick's lap.

"Anyway, I want you to meet my little brother Alex. Alex, you know JC and
Justin already. The big lug eating lots of food is Joey and the guy on the
phone is Chris. The blonde who opened the door is Lance." I introduced them
to each other. They all said a short 'hello' but it lacked
enthusiasm. Maybe it's really too early.

"Why won't you three get some food there and start eating. I'm sure that
Joey is just gonna hog it all if you eat later on." Lance said with a
chuckle. Joey just gave him the finger but he continued eating.

We took our plates and started to pile up. As usual, Brian was there to
assist me on how much I should eat and nothing has changed, it's a big pile
of food. "Are you sure you can fit that all in your body?" Joey asked when
he saw my plate.

"Ask him." I pointed at Brian who just smiled.

"Yeah he can finish that. It's less compared when we were on tour. I
thought that he needed to get used to it first again." He explained with a
serious tone. I sighed and started to eat.

"What's the agenda, scoop?" Justin asked. It seemed that he has life
now. JC dozed off already and Nick was trying hard not to sleep off
himself.

"It's still an off day for us officially but we are confined to the hotel
for the day. Martin is gonna meet the execs later for some the signing of
contracts and stuff; the usual." He said as he looked at me and I answered
with a nod. "I think that's it for the day."

"Cool, I think we three are just gonna sleep for the day." Justin answered
with a smile. We only had knowing looks. Sleep? Yeah, right.

"What time will I meet the execs?" I asked.

"I really don't know. They said that they'll just ring us when they arrive
later on." Lance replied. I averted my attention once more to the food on
my plate. I've eaten 3/4 of it and I was just resting for a while before
eating once again.

"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about this." I told them as I placed my
powerbook on top of the table. "I've been working on some tracks a while
ago so I wanna ask y'all what you think about it." I told them as I opened
the 'Pop' mix that I made.

"That's the shit." Justin noted as he bopped his head with it. The other
said their compliments as well and that made me smile. Even Brian was
smiling but I could see that he's not just happy with what I made but it
seemed that he was just proud of it.

"What's that?" JC asked as he rubbed his eyes. I guessed that the music
woke him up. "That's good." He said with a sleepy smile and laid his back
once again on Nick's lap.

"You really exhausted those two." I joked.

"Nah, they're really like that. I think they like sleeping than me." He
laughed. All of us -- minus Nick and JC who finally fell into a slumber --
engaged in small talks and just having a good time reacquainting to each
other. Even Alex was opening up already. I think he's passed the fan mode
and he was already seeing them as normal human beings.

Lance's phone began to ring. "Bass." He answered monotonously. I didn't
really care that much with what he was talking about because Justin was
sharing with me some of their adventures while on tour. "Guys, those are
the execs. They're gonna be here in 30 minutes." Lance told us. I just
nodded.

"I'll just take a bath and I'll be back. I still think that I need to look
a little bit presentable before I meet them." I told them.

"I'll come with you." Brian said.

"Nope! I'm gonna late if you come with me." I replied and he just
pouted. "That won't work, mister."

"Fine." Brian grumbled. I smiled and walked to Brian's room. My clothes
were there so it made sense if I would just bathe there. I didn't waste
time as I hurriedly took a bath and did all my morning ritual in the
bathroom. I wanted to be earlier than the executives. Giving a good
impression is always a plus. When I was finished will my routine, I walked
back to Lance's room. Nothing seemed to change. They were still talking and
laughing a little bit while Nick and JC were sleeping. "Did I miss
anything?" I asked as I settled beside Brian.

"Not really." Alex answered with a grin. I knew what that meant.

"What embarrassing story did you share?" I groaned and they all burst into
fits of laughter.

"Nothing." He replied. "Just our little trip to Big Bear Lake." He grinned
and the others just couldn't stop laughing.

"I swear, I saw a shark!" I tried to defend myself. The story went this
way. My family went to Big Bear Lake for a little break and while I was
swimming, I saw a shark going my way and I shouted that there was a shark
in the lake that caused a little panic among the other people in the lake.

"Um, there are no sharks in lakes." Lance answered and then laughed.

"I didn't know that." I told him with a sheepish smile. "Quit talking about
me." I said trying to deflect the attention towards me.

"But I like hearing stuff about you." Brian said as he enveloped me in a
tight embrace. I swear, Brian acts like a kid sometimes. But I have to
admit, it's damn sweet.

"I'll just tell you when we are alone." I replied with a wink that brought
a smile on his face and the two of us kissed.

"Other people in the room." Alex noted. When I looked at the others, they
were just looking at us with amusement. It just made me blush. "Aaw, you
made lil Marty blush."

"Hey, it ain't little." Brian answered that made me and Alex blush while
the others just laughed at us.

Lance's phone began to ring. "Bass." He answered. He just nodded and then
ended the call. "They'll be here in a few minutes." Lance said. Brian and I
straightened up while Justin tried to wake up Nick and JC. I guessed that
the execs didn't really know about the relationship of JC, Justin and
Nick. Brian and I needed to break apart because we were new people in the
tour but JC and Justin have been there for a long time. "You can just put
those two in my room." Lance pointed to his room.

Justin and Joey struggled pulling Nick and JC to Lance's room. I couldn't
believe that this two could sleep like this. "Do they really sleep this
heavy?" I inquired.

"Yeah." Chris answered. "I guess that's where they get all their energy for
the day."

"How about you Chris? Where do you get hyperness?" Lance asked innocently
but I knew that he was trying to joke around.

"Sad to say, it's inborn." Joey answered for Chris when he entered the
lounge room that offered a slap at the back of Joey's head from Chris. And
that started the wrestling of the two which Justin later joined. These are
the people I was going to work with. Just like children.

A knock from the door interrupted their 'activity'. Lance walked to the
door to open it. Two men and a woman entered the room. They were sporting
their blank and cold faces with their suits on. Typical executives. "Good
day to you." Lance greeted. "I like you to introduce to Martin
Sanders. He's the one who is going to work for us as the music director for
the rest of the tour." Lance said in a professional tone. The three looked
at me and it was like I was being scrutinized. I knew I looked presentable
at that moment so they couldn't disparage me in that sense. Maybe my young
age? Well, Wade was working for them and he's just 18 so that's out of the
question as well.

"Good morning sirs and ma'am." I said extending my hand to them. They shook
my hand but it was a little bit awkward for me. It was like they were very
careful around me. "So, how do we do this?" I asked trying to start it
up. I thought that if I wouldn't speak up, nothing would happen on that
day.

"Can we talk to you for a while before we go on the signing of contracts?"
The woman asked.

"I don't think that's necessary. We know Martin." Justin chimed as he
closed the door of Lance's bedroom and walking to our direction.

"It's okay. I have nothing to hide." I answered trying to be in my best
behavior. I glanced at Brian who seemed to be amused. "Where will we do
it?" I asked.

"Can we use the bedroom of Mr. Bass for privacy?" The near-balding guy
asked.

"NO!" Everyone in the room exclaimed that took the executives by
surprise. I guessed that they still have emotions because of their shocked
expressions.

"I mean, JC is sleeping there because of yesterday." Lance tried to save
face for everyone. That just proved my theory, no one knows outside the
Backstreet and NSYNC group of Nick, JC and Justin's ménage a
trois. Well, threesomes are still taboo so who can blame them. The execs
just answered with a hesitant nod. "How about we all just transfer to
Joey's room while you four can talk in here?" Lance suggested.

"That's a good idea, Mr. Bass." The woman replied. And I nodded as
well. They all filed out of the room leaving just the four of us. "I think
it would be better if we would all sit down to start this." The woman said
and sat down on the big couch along with the two other men. I sat a little
bit farther from them.

They opened their bags and produced pens and papers. I guessed that this
was going to be a long one. "Let's start with your personal background..."
The thin guy in glasses started. I just sighed inwardly and smiled at them
trying to make the most of the situation. It was a very boring
process. They asked a question and I would answer them. So, this was the
feeling of being interviewed by those magazines that features NSYNC and the
like.

After a grueling hour, it was finally over. "If you can just sign here,
everything will be in order." The woman said as she produced the
contract. I took it from her and read it quickly. It seemed okay and it was
just similar to the contract of Backstreet. I signed it and handed the
papers to the woman.

"Thank you." I said.

"Welcome on board." The near-balding guy said. I shook their hands and we
walked to the door. When we opened the door, we saw all of the guys sitting
the floor waiting.

"I thought that you'll be waiting in Joey's room?" I inquired.

"We were but we got bored so we waited here." Justin answered. It didn't
convince me. The execs walked passed them to the elevator in silence. I
just don't get these types of people. They seem so cold like they don't
have feelings. Is it a requirement of the job?

Once the elevator doors closed, Justin entered Lance's room. Maybe he's
gonna check on his guys. It was sweet. Well, Justin was surely a charming
sweet boy. He reminds me of Brian sometimes. Sweet and charming. I looked
at him and he was laughing while talking with Alex. It made me smile. The
others walked back to Lance's room and they went to their places earlier --
minus Justin who didn't come out of bedroom.

"Justin, I'll kick your ass if I see a stain there!" Lance hollered from
his seat as he brought out his cell phone and dialed a bunch of numbers. I
sat beside Brian and laid my head on his chest as I listened to their small
talks. Last thing I knew, my eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep.

that school wouldn't get in my way this time but it did. No excuse there.

happening in the world of "Reformation" and I'm still to think of other

early April of 2002. If you're an NSYNC fan, you'll learn that this tour is
actually the Celebrity tour. Now, birthdays will finally be celebrated and
so on. I'll try to be more attuned with the dates. :-)
