Subject: Nifty/Gay/Celebrity/Boy Bands/Double Take2

  Disclaimer: I don't know BSB or anyone connected to them in anyway. I
don't know their sexual preferences, this is just a story. I made it all up
in my own little twisted world. Well, it's not that twisted but that's not
the point.

  Warning: I don't know where this is going, or what will happen. I've had
this story on my mind for the past couple of months. There may be sex, but
if there is it won't be in the first chapter. So if that's what you're
looking for you might want to look in another place. Now I'm going to try
and not use any super natural beings. I may fail but hell trust me when I
say I can't help it.

   Authors Note: Well I'm back and on my BSB kick, and I've left for other
bands alone. Now that most likely won't last for long so don't get your
hopes up. If you have time and like this story check out some of my other
stories. I'll leave a small list at the end of this chapter. I don't have
an editor anymore, so most likely there will be a few mistakes. I would
also like to add that if you have the time to please e-mail me. I love feed
back and in some ways it helps get the next chapter out. Ok I'm going to
explain my symbols and my way of writing. I write in the first person point
of view, so to tell the story better I switch characters. I use these ***
to do that and I also use those symbols to start off the chapter. I will
put the name of the characters name in between the symbols when I start a
chapter. When I change the character in the middle of the chapter or any
part of the chapter the name will be at the end of the symbols. As of right
now those are the only symbols I use. If I add more symbols I will explain,
now on with the story I hope you enjoy it.


***Ash***

 When her eyes finally opened she looked highly confused. "It's ok baby,
nothing to worry about, calm down." She sat up really quickly and looked at
Nick, she started the double take movements again. "Ash you never told me
you had a twin, I thought you were adopted. That means you can't have a
twin, would someone care to explain what the hell's going on?" I explained
everything to her, then told her what my new job would be and how it would
help my fashion career. During that time the guys had started to take all
of my bags out. I had managed to pack every single piece of clothing I had
made and all my material for making clothing. "I'm sorry this happened so
quickly, but that's life. Nick gave me a chance to see the world, and help
me, so I took it." Jade smiled slowly and nodded, but I could tell she was
close to tears. "I know and I'm happy for you, but I'm going to miss you so
much. Who will I talk to when I have a really bad break up? Who will you
talk to when you have a really bad break up? I mean the last guy broke your
heart into a million pieces. Plus there is that little fact that I've
gotten use to bitching you out. You know I shouldn't have let you off last
night, then you wouldn't be leaving." She was pouting like I had never seen
her do before, I was starting to regret leaving.

  I really cared about Jade, she had been my rock since I had left my
home. She gave me a job when I was fourteen and let me live with her. It
wasn't my parents fault, they loved me I knew that. I just didn't feel like
I was apart of their family, it wasn't my family. I had always felt apart
from them, like I didn't belong, like I had never belonged. When I had
decided to leave it had been my own choice. They didn't fight me on it,
just tried to talk me out of it. Then Jade had taken me in, that was when I
felt apart of things, and worth something. I didn't have to hide anything
from anyone, and no matter what Jade would love me. She was seven years
older than I was but that only made it cooler, she understood me. "Ok I'll
let you go under one condition, you have to call at least once a week. I
don't care if it's collect, and please don't let yourself get hurt." I knew
what she meant by that last comment. We had made a pact a long time ago, so
far it hadn't worked out to well. We had both fallen for guys that we
shouldn't have, some were violent while others were just cruel. We had made
a pact to never fall in love again, maybe this time it would work. "I
promise I'll do everything in my power not to, and it shouldn't be that
hard." I watched as Nick walked back through the door and just smiled at
us.

  Thirty minutes later I was stepping onto a bus full of people I didn't
know. Jade had gone home, she didn't want to see the bus pull away. I had
gotten dressed and now I was looking at five guys. "So you like older
women, interesting, very interesting." I just laughed, that wasn't a
subject I was going to touch just yet. "Well, there are a few things we
have to go over if you don't mind." I looked at Kevin and shrugged my
shoulders slightly. He took me to a small table and pulled a bunch of
papers out, then a pen. "Read all of these and tell me if you have a
problem, or can't sign one." I nodded and started reading the first couple
of pages I didn't have a problem with. As I reached the last two pages I
was forced to slow down and reread them. I had thought I was mistaken but I
wasn't, it was asking me to never reveal anything I would see. It was also
asking that I never reveal anything that may happen to me or anyone else on
the road. I waved Kevin over, and it looked like he had been excepting
this. "Ok I'm having a small problem with this line right here. I can't
reveal anything that happens to me, as in myself. Now what would happen to
me that I couldn't reveal it?" Kevin was smiling lightly then he looked
toward the others on the bus. When he looked back at me his smile had
fallen slightly.

  He took a few deep breaths, then decided to try and drop a bomb. "Well,
if one of us were to start up a relationship with you, not like it would
happen you couldn't reveal it. Something along those lines, but don't worry
it's just something our management put in." I nodded and signed the paper
then looked over the last paper and signed it. All in all it wasn't that
bad, and I understood their need for secrecy. "You don't have a problem
with that, wow that's a little shocking." I gave him my, why would I have a
problem with that look. He picked up the papers and looked everything over,
then he smiled really wide and walked away. I was starting to wonder what I
had just gotten myself into, these people could be nuts. "Ok let's break it
down for Ash shall we?" Now I was really worried so I stood up and got
ready to fight. I don't know why but those words and the way he said it
sent chill's up my spine. "You might want to sit down, this is some ground
breaking information." I looked at Kevin and took a seat, but I didn't
leave myself unprepared. I was ready to run if I had, I wasn't much of a
fighter, but I was really good when it came to running. "Ok what the pubic
world knows about us is mostly false, there a few things that could destroy
us if it were to ever get out." I stopped him and decided to get a little
more relaxed.

  It didn't looked like I was going to need to run any time soon. "So
that's why you had me sign all those papers, so you could be honest with
me." Kevin nodded slowly, I looked at the rest of the guys. "You see, well
some of the members of the group are gay, who I'm not going to say. That's
for them to decide if they want to tell you, it's not my call." I was
highly shocked, but I played it off by smiling a lot and just nodding
slightly. "So that's the big deal, so some of you are gay, I don't see how
that would affect me. I mean yes it's a little shocking, but not something
that's going to make me run the other way. Plus I don't believe anyone
should out someone else, it's just wrong to do that. I would never share
that information with anyone unless I had permission to begin with. I mean
it's like I wouldn't want someone to do that to me, it would hurt to much."
I guess I had gained a little ground with the group since they looked
relieved and happy. "Well, I have a question, if you don't mind me asking
that is. You don't have to answer, but are you gay?" I looked at Nick and
smiled slightly, then back toward Kevin and the others. "Well, if you're
not telling I don't see why I should tell you my business." I smiled again
and leaned back closing my eyes.

  I liked this game, it could get very interesting, and very quickly. "When
do you think I could use a phone I should call Jade to tell her we didn't
have any trouble." I had to throw that in, it would throw them off a
little. "You could use my cell if you want, or you could wait until we got
to the hotel." I held my hand out and smiled sweetly as Nick handed me his
phone. I dialed Jade's number and waited until she picked up, her voice was
thick and raspy. "Hello sun shine, just wanted you to know that everything
is going smoothly." We talked for a few minutes then I hung up and handed
the phone back to Nick. "Thank you, I really need to be sure that she was
ok, she holds a very important place in my heart." Nick nodded and sat
down, he looked to the others and smiled lightly. "You know, there is a way
we could get the truth out of you." I looked at Nick and smiled lightly,
then to the others. "Yes, but if you were to try and tickle me you wouldn't
have much luck." I raised my arms upward and smiled, I wasn't ticklish in
anyway. "How did you know I was thinking about tickling you?" I didn't
really know it was just a guess, so I just shrugged my shoulders. I took a
seat beside Nick and smiled lightly, we really did look like twins. Same
hair, same eyes, same everything, it was kind of creepy.

  Kevin decided to see if I was ticklish, normally I wouldn't have
cared. There was only one small problem, one of my ribs were bruised
slightly. So when he went for them I doubled over in pain, he looked scared
for a second. "Sorry, I was in an accident a while back, not your fault."
Kevin looked a little concerned, then he looked a little guilty since he
had hurt me. "I'm really sorry, if I had known I would have never have made
that mistake. What happened, car wreck, something along those lines?" I
looked up, he could say it was like a car wreck. The doctor had thought it
was a car wreck when I was brought into the emergency room. My last boy
friend hadn't liked the idea of me dancing on the dance floor without
him. So he took a bat and tried to make sure I wouldn't make the same
mistake again. He had thought it would teach me a lesson, well it had
taught me how to press charges. I put his ass in jail so quickly he didn't
see what hit him, and how hard. When he had called telling me how sorry he
was I had given him a piece of my mind. When he threatened me I had only
gotten more upset and taped his sorry ass. I played the tape at the next
court hearing which got him more time in the slammer. "Let's just say I had
a few words with a baseball player, he got upset and showed me his bat up
close." Kevin looked a little more upset, but that didn't stop him asking
more questions.

  I refused to say anymore, I wasn't giving any kind of information until
they came clean. I had signed their papers, so they knew I couldn't talk,
and they should have known I wouldn't talk. "You know you have to be the
most stubborn person I've ever met." I just smiled lightly and leaned back,
blinking my eyes. "I'm not stubborn, I just don't like to be the only one
sharing information. If all of you come clean then I'll come clean, and
answer any question you ask, as long as you return the favor." I smiled
sweetly and looked at each of them. "He's as bad as Nick, I can't believe
it, he's just like Nick." I looked at Nick and raised one eye brow. He
looked at me with the same expression on his face. It was like looking into
a mirror, only he was alive, and if I reached out I could touch him. I
shook myself out of my daze and watched Nick do the same, it was like we
were mirroring each other. I had this strange feeling wash over me, like I
had done this before. "I guess it would be ok if we all came clean with
him, after all he's apart of the family now." I looked at Brian and smiled
lightly, he was standing up to start. "Does everyone agree that we come
clean?" Everyone nodded at the same time and then looked at me.

  I sat back and looked at each of them, then I waited for a few
seconds. "Kevin is married and is straight, Howie is bi, I'm gay, Nick is
gay, and AJ is bi, my marriage is fake. I think that covers the main topic
now it's your turn, so what is it?" I smiled and wiggled slightly, I was
now in a really good mood. "I'm gay, so I guess me and Nick really have a
lot in common." Their was a collective sigh, then the laughter started
first lightly then heavily. "So was this baseball player an ex, or just
some jerk?" I should have know that was coming, it must have been the most
tempting question. "He was my boyfriend for close to a year. We hit a club
one night and I went dancing without him, he didn't like the idea. So he
introduced me to his bat, after that I introduced him to jail and a few
other things." I was trying to think of a good question, no way was this
going to be one sided. "So who's single and who's not, and were not
counting fake couplings." It got them laughing, so it lightened the mood
slightly. "Well, Howie has a girlfriend in New York, and AJ has a boy
friend in LA, while Nick and myself are single." I looked at them oddly,
why on earth hadn't they dated one another? It wasn't my business, so I
didn't ask, it was one thing to ask if they were single it was another to
ask why.

  Soon after that the questions ended and I was pulled into the picture. I
was shown the layout for everything that happened in every concert. On top
of that I was given information on my pay and job. I don't know I could
ever get an easier job, or have better companions. I couldn't really be
seen with the group, but I could be seen with just Nick. I didn't mind
hanging out with him, we had way to much in common. I had only seen the
ocean a few times in my whole life, but I loved just staring at it. I knew
that I could spend hours just looking at the endless amount of water. While
Nick on the other hand had spent a great deal of time looking at the
water. I was going to start working in the next city, Nick wanted to hit
the mall's. I didn't have any problems with that in any way, I loved to
shop and having someone along was just an added bonus. "Ok one dead give
away is your credit card. You have to use cash when you're going to buy
something, other wise all of this is going straight to hell." I pulled my
wallet out and handed it to him, he looked slightly confused. "If push
comes to shove use my ID, it should be ok until I can get you a fake
one. That should only take about a week or two, well that's after I make
the request from Jade." He had this look of shock, I found it funny and
continued telling him my plans.

  When you lived in my area as long as I had you learned a few things. Fake
ID's were easy to come by and didn't cost all that much if you knew the
right people. I didn't need a picture of Nick, I asked Jade to just use one
of mine. We had a ton of pictures together and apart, and I realized I was
starting to miss her. When we walked into the mall Nick looked scared
beyond belief. I draped my arm over his shoulder and pulled him along, no
one came near us. "Nick, they see two of us, not one, so as far as they
know were twins. There's nothing to worry about, get over it man." He
seemed to relax a little as we walked into a store, they had some nice
clothing. Nick got a few things and bought them without a problem,
something that must have been a little odd to him. He smiled and continued
to go from store to store, never one single problem. He got happier with
every single item he got, it was funny to watch him. I had only picked up
some candles and few books that I had been looking at for a while. I
checked my watch and noted we had been here for close to three hours. I
shook my head and let Nick do his thing, after all I was getting paid to do
this. After three more hours passed I was ready to pass out, my legs were
killing me. Nick was still shopping, I didn't know where the guy got the
energy to shop so much. It was like he was some kind of robot that had an
endless battery, he reminded me of a certain pink bunny.

  When we finally left the mall I was ready to sleep for the next two
days. I was starting to think I would lose my love for shopping. Nick was
talking a mile a minute about how he could spend the rest of his life in a
mall. For a very short amount of time I almost believed he could do just
that. I just hoped that if he did he had to know I didn't plan on joining
him there. When we got back to the hotel it was back to hiding and sneaking
around. I didn't mind, in fact I found that it was kind of fun to play
around with this idea. I went in through the back of the building while
Nick faced the fans. It was the only way I could get in without being
mistaken. That and if I made one screw up the whole game would be
over. When I finally reached my room I found that some of my stuff had been
moved there. I got my sketch pad out and started drawing a new design that
I had been thinking about. It was a simple design, but it would take a
while to make it, a few days in fact. I decided that I would make it for
Kevin since he had been so nice to me on my first day. I left my room and
knocked on Kevin's door, a second later he opened the door. He smiled and
invited me in, I took a seat on the bed and looked at him closely. "Would
you mind if I took your sizes, I was thinking about making you an outfit?"
He had this really strange smile on his face.

  He agreed and I took out my measuring tape and took his sizes. It took a
few minutes I wanted to be sure I had everything right. Once I was done I
stood up and moved toward the door. "Thanks Kev, it means a lot to me,
really." I left his room and walked back to my own. I started looking
through my fabrics, I wanted something tight, but it had to be soft. There
were a few more problems, like it besides being soft and tight it had to be
cool. I gave up and laid back on my bed and looked at the ceiling, I was a
little to tired to work. I pulled my shirt over my head and slipped out of
my pants, then I got under the covers. I know that I had only been in the
bed for about thirty minutes when Nick ran into my room. He slammed the
door and pressed his body up against it with all his weight. I jumped out
of my bed scared out of my mind and grabbed my scissors holding them up
like a knife. "It's just me, and wow you must have been having a nice
dream." I looked down and then jumped back into my bed wrapping my sheet
around my body. I got back up and moved toward the door without my
scissors. I moved Nick and stood in front of the door until it
opened. Brian looked at me and then dumped a bucket of ice cold water on
me. I stood there for about three seconds before I jumped on him.

  I took him to the ground and pinned his arms over his head. I had
forgotten that I only had a sheet wrapped around my body. I had lost most
of it when I had jumped on him, he looked a little shocked. "First Nick
ruins my nap, then you dump a bucket of water on me. You know I should
really do something mean to you, and I think I will, but not now. I'm going
to wait until you're not looking, then I'm going to get you so good. So
watch your back Bri, cause now you have me on your tail." I slowly stood
and walked back into my room no longer caring about the sheet. I went
straight into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I heard some talking
going on in my bed room but I ignored it without to much trouble. After my
nice hot shower I found a towel and dried off, then wrapped it around my
waist and walked out into my room. Brian was waiting for me on the bed, he
looked a little tired. "Look I'm really sorry I thought you were Nick, even
without the clothes. I thought that Nick had enough time to strip down and
trade places with you. If I had known it was you I would have never thrown
any water on you." I looked at him and smiled lightly, then moved to the
bed. I took a seat on the edge of the bed and really looked at him. He did
look sorry, and so very sad, there was something in his eyes. I was having
a really hard time thinking about revenge at that moment, still it was on
the edge of my mind.

  I took a deep breath and laid back on the bed, my head wasn't far from
Brian's waist. "So you're telling me that your sorry in hopes that I won't
launch a revenge campaign against you?" I turned over on my stomach knowing
my towel would give way slightly as I faced him. I pulled up slightly
giving Brian a nice view of the small of my back and leading on downward. I
noticed his eyes were traveling down my body and not looking into my
eyes. He looked back into my eyes, and I saw that he was starting to sweat
lightly. He was swallowing nonstop as I moved closer letting more of the
towel fall away. "Brian are you going to answer my question, it's not that
hard." I could feel my smile getting bigger as he tried to form
words. There was a large lump forming in his pants as he shook his
head. "No, I'm just really sorry that I did that to you, I'd do anything if
you would forgive me." He was trying his best to keep his eyes on mine as I
lifted my body up slightly. The towel was history as I sat up and tilted my
head sideways, giving him my best puppy dog face. "It's really nice of you
to offer, but I think I'll just forgive you, you look so serious. So I know
you really are sorry, but that doesn't mean I won't do something in the
future. I'm not going to make any promises, but I do forgive you." I stood
up and walked over to my dresser looking for some of my clothes.

  Brian hadn't moved an inch as I walked around the room collecting my
things. I got dressed not even looking at him once while I did so. The
clothing I had picked out was as sheer as it could be without being
illegal. Every part of my body that had to be clothed was, nothing more. I
couldn't really wear it anywhere, but I could at least wear in my room. I
was starting to ask myself if this was really worth it, was this job really
worth my staying out of site. It was starting to get to me, and in some
ways I felt like I was in a prison. "Ash, are you ok man, cause you just
totally zoned out right then." I looked over at Brian like it was the first
time I had ever seen him. I shook my head a few times and smiled slowly. "I
was just thinking about something, I need to get out of this place for a
while. I think I may have come up with an idea on how to do just that."
Brian looked a little confused but I didn't have time to explain to
him. "Do you have any stage make up that I could use, or one of your people
maybe?" Brian looked up and slowly nodded then stood up leave. "You know
you could just wear a hat and glasses, it works really well. Plus you don't
have any of Nick's tattoo's so it would be a little easier to move around
in that outfit. Just leave through the back, I'll tell Nick that you're
leaving so he won't worry." I nodded slowly and felt a great amount of
relief, as he tossed me his hat and glasses.

******Brian

   I watched as Ash snuck out through the back door of the hotel. I had to
ask myself if he would come back to us once he fingered out what he had
given up. He was living our life now, weather he knew it or not. Ash was
starting to get a taste of what we felt, only he had a choice. He had
chosen to come without really thinking about it, it had just been a way out
for him. A way for him to try and get his own career in fashion started, so
his mind was slightly clouded. Now he had the chance to see what he was
missing on the outside world. I had known for a little while now that he
really didn't need our help in his career. His clothing was simply amazing,
and I hadn't seen a zipper on any of the clothing. Now that was a big plus
for one huge reason, and I think only guys could really understand it. All
he had ever really needed was a better place to show his clothing line
off. Still I didn't tell him, since I feared losing him for more than one
reason. He was like a clone of Nick in the way he looked, but he himself
could never be Nick. Their minds were too different, even if you couldn't
see it right away. They looked alike and sometimes ever acted like one
another. There was only one difference in all this madness, Ash wasn't
always like that. Nick never changed and he was himself as much as he could
be.

  While Ash on the other hand had layers to his mind, and walls I couldn't
forget that. Nick had his own wall's but they were far more different from
Ash's. Nick's walls were needed so he could maintain his fame. While Ash's
walls were needed so he could maintain his sanity. I walked to Nick's room
and softly knocked on the door, he opened it without saying anything. He
was on the phone with someone, most likely one of his family members. "What
do you mean you have to meet him, he's only working for us Mom, no big
deal?" That was another thing about Nick, he could be really cold to people
when he thought it was in his best interest. Not that he was a bad guy or
anything, it was just who he was. "No, I don't plan on trying to date him,
for some reason it just feel's wrong. I think that in time we could become
good friends, but I doubt it. You see I have this feeling that we're going
to get busted soon. When that happens he'll most likely go back to his home
town and all that." I was starting to get highly annoyed with the way Nick
was talking about Ash. "Yes, I'm going to keep my word and help him as much
as I can. You know I always keep my word, come hell or high water, I'll
keep my word." Nick was rolling his eyes while he looked at me and smiled
lightly. "Fine meet us in the next city and you can meet him, why is it so
important to you?" Nick sighed deeply and finally hung the phone up.

  He tossed his phone onto the bed and looked at me again. "Ash went for a
walk, I told him it would be ok since he had a hat and glasses on." Nick
jumped off the bed and ran out of the room, most likely heading toward
Ash's room to stop him. "He's gone Nick, I made sure of that before I came
here, we need to talk." Nick looked anger than I had ever seen him
before. "You had no right telling him he could leave, you could ruin
everything. I'm not done with this yet Brian, I still need him for some
stuff." That was the last straw, and I let him know it by pushing him to
the ground. "You know he goes around thinking you're a really nice guy. You
are nothing but a stuck up snob, and I can't believe I didn't see it
sooner. You know I should tell him what's he getting himself into and still
help him get his career going. I can't believe you're such a prick man, I
use to think you were a really cool guy." Nick looked highly confused, and
beyond that hurt beyond words. "Brian, why do you even care, I mean think
about it he's just doing a job. It's not like he's doing it for free, and
he is going to get something out of this. Yeah he's a nice guy, and he is
helping me out, but it's not like I need him. I'm not out to hurt him or
anything, I'm just doing what comes natural. I'm giving myself a break and
a chance to feel normal for once." I shook my head and stormed out of the
room, he just didn't understand.

  Nick was following me down the hall trying to stop me from walking
away. "Don't you get it Nick, he is normal, he's lived a more normal
life. We haven't, and that's ok we chose this after thinking about it. Ash
on the other hand didn't have time to think about this. You talked him into
this, now he has to stay behind closed doors until you decide you need
him." I think Nick was starting to understand my point of view, he was
leaning against a wall. "You treat him like he's no one, and he is someone,
who's trying to help you. No matter how you look at it he's still helping
you and your not even treating him with respect. If you're going to treat
him like this, then stop pretending that you even like him." Nick looked
shocked as he slid down the wall and shook his head slowly. "Brian, I do
like him, but something keep's telling me to keep my distance. I don't
really understand it, but I'm following my gut on this one and keeping my
distance. If that feeling changes maybe I can get a little closer to him."
I couldn't really be mad at him so I just let it go and walked away. After
the concert I found that I couldn't really sleep all that well. So I walked
back to Ash's room hoping he had returned, so I knocked for a few
minutes. I guessed that he hadn't come back so I used one of the spare keys
to open the door. After taking a seat on the bed I waited for Ash to get
back, soon after I sat down I fell to sleep.
