Subject: Shaun & JC Part 2

Authors note: Yeah I know its been a LONG time. But I just needed some time
to think, and to take the story in an original direction. Shaun & JC have
not had sex yet. It will come. But hey we still have the two mystery men! I
really want to take the character of Sarah and develop her. Sarah is the
embodiment of all of my friends, past and present. I am sorry my sentences
are short and stumpy tonight. But its been a long day and its not getting
ANY better! Thanks for reading. Please send any comments good and good to
sjc@greenapple.com . As always this story is complete fiction it doesn't
imply anything about N'Sync's sexuality or anyone else's I mention. This

Section 2: The Announcement

(Part 1)

	Chris peeked his head out the door to his room, searching for signs
of movement.  When he was sure no one was awake, he walked out of his room
and quietly shut the door behind him.  Quickly, but silently, he dashed
across the hall to Joey's bedroom.  He didn't even knock.  He effortlessly
opened the door, stepped inside, and shut it behind him.

	As soon as his eyes adjusted to the dark, he saw what he was
looking for.  The moon shone a beam of soft blue light across the bed.
Directing him to his object of desire.  Chris glided over to the bed,
keeping his eyes on the form under the covers.

	Slowly, he got on the bed, on his hands and knees.  Trying not to
awaken Joey yet, he pulled the covers back.  The sight that he was treated
to had an immediate effect on him.  His manhood quickly shot up to
attention.  Joey was under the covers with nothing but a pair of boxers on.
The moonlight shined on Joey's firm chest and developed abs.

	Chris couldn't restrain himself.  He leaned down and lightly kissed
Joey on the stomach, right above the waistband of his boxers.  Joey didn't
stir, so Chris slipped his tongue out and traced a line from the waistband,
slowly, up to his chest.  When Joey still did not awaken, Chris leaned
forward and kissed him lightly on the lips.

	"Hmmmm."  Joey slowly opened his eyes to see Chris leaning over
him.

	"Hey, baby."  Chris smiled widely.

	"Talk about a great way to wake up."  Joey smiled widely.

	"I thought you'd like that."  Chris giggled.
	
	Joey sat up on his elbows, leaning forward to give Chris another
kiss.

	"I thought you were never going to show up, so I went to sleep."
Joey smiled as he broke the kiss.

	"Well, I was gonna come in earlier, but Josh was up walking around.
I decided to wait awhile before actually leaving my room."  Chris
explained.

	"I'm glad you showed up.  I don't think I could go a night without
you."  Joey pouted his lips as he looked up into Chris' eyes.

	"I'd never make you go a night without me."  Chris smiled and
straddled Joey's body.

	"Promise?"  Joey moaned as he placed his hands on Chris' hips.
	
	Chris began to grind his pelvis into Joey's as he leaned down and
kissed him again.  Chris took his mouth away from Joey's and kissed his
chest.  Then moved to his left nipple, stopping to lick and suck as Joey
ran his fingers through his hair.  Chris then moved over to the right
nipple, giving it the same attention as the left.

	Joey grabbed onto Chris' ass as he dry humped him and sucked on his
nipple.  Soon, Joey's hips were rising off the bed, pounding away at Chris.
Chris slowly sat up, stopping his movements completely.  His hard dick
stood out, making a tent in his boxers as he sat there, looking down at
Joey writhing beneath him.

	"Please, Chris."  Joey begged.

	Chris didn't make Joey wait long.  He scooted down on his hands and
knees until his mouth was over the tent in Joey's boxers.  Chris looked up
at Joey, as if asking for permission.

	"Put your mouth on me Chris."  Joey moaned heavily.
	
	That was all Chris needed.  He yanked Joey's cock out through the
slit in his boxers and engulfed it in one bob of his head.  Joey
immediately grabbed the back of Chris' head and began thrusting his cock
into the back of his throat.  Chris almost gagged, but backed up, allowing
Joey to fuck his face.

	Chris reached down and freed his stiff cock while Joey pounded away
and began to jerk off quickly, matching Joey's thrusts.  Thinking quickly,
Chris reached up the leg of Joey's boxers and slipped a hand under his ass.
Chris stuck a finger out, searching for Joey's moist hole as he continued
to be gagged by his massive cock.  Finally, Chris found his asshole and
pressed his finger against the opening.  When Joey pulled out of Chris'
mouth on the next thrust, Chris' finger jabbed into his ass.

	That was all Joey needed.  His thrusts quickened as Chris fucked
his asshole with his finger.  Chris was on the verge of exploding as well.
His jerking had gotten rougher and more intense as he fell into the
pleasure of Joey ramming his mouth repeatedly.

	"Oh God, Chris.  I'm going to cummmmmm."  Joey groaned.

	Chris moaned his approval as Joey kept thrusting.

	"Oh God!  I'm cumming!"  Joey screamed.

	Before Chris knew what happened, Joey was shooting load after load
of hot cum into his mouth.  That was all Chris needed.  One more jerk and
he was spewing his hot wad onto the sheets underneath him.  Joey's cum was
filling Chris mouth even after Chris' orgasm had subsided.  He quickly
swallowed, drinking from Joey's softening cock.

	"Holy shit."  Joey sighed as Chris crawled up on the bed next to
him.

	"I love you, Joey."  Chris stated and kissed him gently on the
lips.

	"I love you, too."  Joey smiled, tasting his cum on Chris lips.
	
	Chris crawled out of the bed and shoved his soft cock back into his
boxers.
	
	"Where are you going?"  Joey asked frantically.

	"I'm just going to sneak downstairs to get a drink.  I'll be back,
don't worry."  Chris laughed.

	"Alright.  I'll miss you."  Joey propped himself up on an elbow to
look at him.

	"I'll be right back."  Chris replied as he walked to the door.

	Chris slowly snuck out of the room, closing the door quietly,
trying to not wake any of the other guys up.  As soon as he shut the door,
he turned around to walk towards the stairs and froze in his tracks.  Josh
and Shaun were standing there, jaws open.

	"I can explain?"  Chris questioned.

	"Wha-Wha-What were you doing?"  JC stood there in disbelief.

	"Um.  I was just..."  Chris didn't know what to say.

	"Nevermind.  I'm going to bed."  JC walked off, passed Chris and
into his room.

	"Shaun?"  Chris looked up as JC slammed his door.

	"Um, I think I'll go to bed, too."  Shaun replied and walked away.

	"Shit."  Chris stated and turned to lean against the wall.


(Part 2)

	I woke around nine o'clock the next day, surprised that I was able
to function on such a short amount of sleep.  The first thought that came
to my mind was that of what had happened the night before.  Who would've
thought that Joey and Chris had something going on.  I mean, they had so
adamantly displayed their beliefs on "fags".  I figured it had to be an
affront to cover up their "situation."  I pulled myself out of bed and
slowly went into the shower. I stripped out of my shirt, took of my black
calvin's, and hopped into the shower, still a little bit in a daze. I
turned on all four-shower heads and had the water blast me from every
direction as I placed my hands against the shower walls and stood there,
letting the water pelt me.

	"Computer? Let's listen to some music." I looked up at the ceiling,
groggily.

	"Please specify type of music and mood please."

	"Let's listen to something pop, and kinda slow."

	Just as I finished saying that, the Backstreet Boys "I Need You
Tonight" started playing. I took a longer shower than usual, I just didn't
want to come out and face the guys so soon.  I stood there in the shower,
thinking about the way the song correlated to the night before with JC.  I
felt so close to him already, but I knew there was no way he could even
remotely be interested in me.  I didn't have too long to contemplate the
idea.

	"Incoming telephone call, Shaun." The computer stated.

	The computer automatically stopped the music and rewound the MP3
file 30 seconds.  I had programmed it to do that, so that I wouldn't miss
any of the songs after they were interrupted.

	"Computer, please put the call through to the speakerphone in my
shower."

	"Shaun, are you there?"  The familiar voice spoke.

	I immediately recognized Sarah's voice.  She was one of my friends
that always called to check up on me.  I appreciated the concern, but my
friends never understood that sometimes I didn't need them bugging me.

	"Sarah?  Yeah, I'm here.  I'm kinda busy at the moment.  Whaddya
need?"  I spoke hurriedly.

	"Well your dogs are still out here on the farm, and I wondered if
you would like to come and pick them up." Sarah said almost shyly.

	"Shit! I forgot about the dogs. Give me about an hour and I will be
out to get them." I said in a rush.

	"Alright Shaun.  I'll see you in about an hour, then.  When you get
here, I need to talk to you, too."  Sarah replied.

	"Sure Sarah.  I'll see you after awhile."  I spoke quickly.

	"I love you Shawn.  I'll see you when you get here."

	"I love you, too. Bye." I said. "Computer end telephone
conversation and music."

	I quickly started shutting off the water and cleaning the shower
doors.  I ran into my closet and picked out a pair of khakis and a button
down shirt to wear. I quickly threw on the clothes and finished cleaning
up.  I left a note for the guys with the computer to play for them when
they started waking up and moving around.  I went out to the garage and
stopped dead in my tracks.

	"I have seven dogs." I said to myself.

	I was beginning to wonder which car I was going to take, then I
realized that I could take the old Jeep. I got the keys from the keyboard
and started it up and pulled out of the garage and headed to the gate.  I
had the window rolled down and punched in the security code on the gate and
it started to open. I waited for it to open all the way until I pulled out
onto Fair. The only thing that was on my mind right now was getting my
dogs.


(Part 3)
	
	JC started to awake from his slumber. He got up and started waking
the other guys up.  Justin, Lance, and lastly Joey and Chris. He was a
little hesitant but he decided that he wanted to go up to talk to Shaun. He
walked slowly up the stairs to the fourth level. He walked to the bedroom
door and it opened. JC walked in and realized that Shaun wasn't there. The
room was completely dis-shelved. JC decided to go down and see what the
rest of the guys were doing. Justin was wondering around, while JC noticed
Joey and Chris were keeping away from him.

	"Hey JC do you know where Shaun is?" Lance asked.

	"No, Scoop.  He wasn't upstairs.  I don't know where he is." JC
said.

	"JC, Lance, Justin, Chris and Joey.  Please head to the den there
is a message waiting for you." The computer came over the speakers.

	"Follow me guys I know where the den is." JC stated
matter-of-factly.

	The boys all headed down the stairs to the den, following JC. They
arrived in the den and sat down on the couch. The wall started to open up
and a LCD screen appeared.

	"Playing message left for JC, Lance, Justin, Chris and Joey in 5
. 4 . 3 . 2 .1 .Beginning to play message."  The computer counted down.

	"Hey guys.  Sorry about this morning, but I got a call from a
friend asking me to pick up my dogs.  So I am gone and will probably be
gone for about an hour or two. You can feel free to roam the house and
explore on your own. I really don't have anything to hide. I promise I will
be back soon.  Shaun."

	As soon as the message was done playing, the screen went blank and
the wall started to close back up, concealing it.

	"Well we are able to explore the house. It's not everyday that we
have this kinda house at our disposal." Justin said.

	"Yeah, you wanna go explore it with me, Just?" Lance asked.

	"Sure thing, Scoop." Justin said happily.

	"Hey, JC?  Can we talk to you for a second?" Chris asked.

	"Uh, I guess so." JC said, getting rather nervous.

	"We'll catch up in a few guys." Joey answered for Chris, JC and
himself.

	JC sat down never really looking at either Joey or Chris. He never
wanted to talk to them about what had happened the night before. He was
outraged for the way they treated Shaun.  He was mad because they hadn't
told the group, and he felt disgusted because he didn't want to tell him
about the feelings he was having for Shaun. In a way he was being
hypocritical, but he couldn't sort anything out from the previous night.
More importantly, he didn't care.

	"You know, you ARE going to have to look at us one day." Joey said
with concern.

	"FUCK YOU! I can't believe the way you two acted.  Bash 'em, and
then you two go and fuck later that night. I can't even look at you two."
JC stated cruely taking both of them back.

	"Do you hate us because we're gay?" Chris asked, never faltering in
his words.

	JC couldn't take it anymore he wanted to tell them, he wanted to
say that he liked Shaun.  He just couldn't bring himself to tell
anyone. Not yet, and certainly not now. JC slowly looked up at both Chris
and Joey.

	"No of course I don't hate you. I love you guys. You know
that. However, you should have been nicer to Shaun."

	"Well we have the boy band image to protect." Joey said.

	"Yeah I know." I know all too well JC thought. "So are you two a
couple?"

	Chris and Joey both looked at each other and started smiling.

	"I'll take that as a yes."

	"JC do you have anything bothering you?" Chris asked.

	"Yeah, I do but I have to sort it out on my own now."

	"Are you sure because if you ever need anyone to talk to we're
here." Joey said.

	"No, I really want to sort this out on my own. I just want you to
know that I love you guys, no matter who you are.  But, why couldn't you
tell us?" JC wondered.

	"Well JC we just didn't know how everyone would take it. We didn't
want to break up the group because the group is more important than us."
Chris stated with conviction.

	Joey looked rather sad when he said that the group was bigger than
they were. He thought that their love was bigger than anything else.  Joey
began to wonder if Chris felt the same, though.  JC noticed Joey being
distant but didn't want to say anything.

 	"So are you going to tell everyone else?"

	"Yes." Joey answered before Chris could say anything.

	Chris gave Joey an odd stare, but he then grasped his hand for
support.

	"Yes we are going to tell everyone tonight. And, yes, we are going
to apologize to Shaun." Chris added to Joey's statement.

	"Thanks, I really appreciate you two being so open."

	"We're just glad you understand."  Joey replied with a sigh of
relief.


(Part 4)

	I slowly walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. I heard my
dogs start barking and running towards her back door.  Sarah is a woman in
her late twenties.  She is beautiful in every aspect, and my best friend.
We became friends in Athens. She was the class Salutatorian. We often
stayed in each others dorm rooms teasing each other about who would be
first and who would be second. I, of course, was first and she was second.
Which was something that I always teased her about, up until this very day.
She had been through it all with me.  She'd been there through the ups and
downs of life.  She was even there for my eventual acceptance of who I
was. She even supported me when I was kicked out of the house. She helped
me recover from all of my pseudo-loves, and heart aches. She comforted and
consoled me. She never judged me, she let me be me, through everything. She
was there.

	"Hey, Shaun." She said in her very New England accent, giving me a
slight smile.

	I openly embraced her in a hug, which was something I hadn't done
in a while.

	Sarah gave me a questioning look. She knew that I was having one of
my crushes and she wasn't able to help me through this one.  She knew how
to spot the "crush look" by now.  God knows I had been through enough of
them.  However, the look she gave me was a new one.  Almost, like she saw
something different in me than she had with the other ones.

	We had walked into her living room making idle chit chat.  I
grabbed a seat at her big arm chair as she sat down on the couch across
from me.  We sat there in silence for a couple seconds, but there was
something in the air that made me feel like she wanted to tell me
something.  When Sarah looked up at me, I could tell there was something on
her mind that was bothering her.  I decided it would be best to ask instead
of waiting for her to spill it.

	"Sarah is there something you wanted to tell me?" I asked.

	"I don't know, Shaun.  I just--God, I don't know."  Sarah looked
right into my eyes.

	"It's okay, Sarah, you can tell me."  I assured her, knowing this
had to be big.

	"Well, I'll warn you, it's something pretty big."  Sarah replied.

	"You're starting to scare me, please just tell me."  I was
beginning to get worried.

	"Shaun, I went to the doctor yesterday."  She started.

	"Okay."

	"It was a recall."  She let out another sentence.

	"A recall?"  I was confused.

	"I have breast cancer."  Sarah blurted it out.
	
	I was speechless.  I didn't know what to say.  The fact that I was
in shock probably didn't help.  I just sat there for a moment, jaw agape,
looking at her.  She looked so calm, so serene, like it was nothing.  I
knew if I didn't say something, she'd repeat it, thinking it hadn't
registered.  I didn't want her to have to do that.

	"Are they sure?"  I asked, bug-eyed.

	"I guess so.  I mean they did a recall."  Sarah explained, a tear
rolling down her cheek.

	"I really don't know what to say, Sarah."  I was still in shock.

	"Shaun, I'm so scared."  Sarah looked up at me and immediately
started crying.

 	I immediately got up from my chair and pulled her into another
hug. All of my troubles soon vanished when I felt her tears on my
shoulder. I pulled her into the chair that I was sitting in and I rocked
her back and fourth as she started crying. I tried my best to soothe her,
to comfort her.  I tried everything I could think of to get her to stop
crying, but she couldn't. I gave up my attempt and let her cry on my
shoulder, just trying to comfort her.  I guess it was best that she could
cry and get out the built up emotions.

	Both of Sarah's parents had died of cancer.  Her mother from breast
cancer, and her father from colon cancer. She had to grown up so fast with
both of her parents gone. I suddenly had a selfish thought enter my
mind. What happens if she doesn't make it? Who will care after me?  Who
will look after me and my dogs?  Who will be able to tell me everything is
going to be alright when it doesn't look that way?  I let a single tear
escape and drop on to her head. About an hour later the silence had ended
with my question.

	"How long have you known?"

	"I just found out last night Shaun.  I tried to give you a call but
you had the phone set to no calls.  I knew that the computer would reset
the phone status in the morning, which is why I called you so early.
Shaun, I am really scared." She said in between sobs.

	"Shhhh. Sarah everything is going to be alright. You know it and I
know it. We will work through this together I know we will. You will have
the best doctors and treatment money can buy. We will work through
this. You will beat this thing!" I tried to say in my best affirmative
voice.

	"Yeah we will won't we?" Sarah asked, trying to give me an
optimistic grin.

	"We always get through everything! This will be a piece of cake!"
I kissed her on the forehead and hugged her closer to me.

	"Come on you're staying with me. I am not taking no for an answer.
So let's go pack your clothes."

	Sarah went up to her room and packed her clothes, not once arguing
about coming with me.  After we had a couple suitcases packed for her, we
loaded them in the Jeep and herded the dogs in.  We got in the Jeep and
started the trip back to the estate.  The whole ride back to the estate, I
held Sarah's hand, trying to give her comfort.
