Subject: Dreams of an Angel - 3 (gay/boybands)

	Hey there again! Well, here's the next part of Dreams of an
Angel. It maybe a tad shorter that the rest, but hey, I'm working as fast
as I can. Thanks again guy, for those encouraging feedback. I really think
I am getting the hang of this... writing story thingy. And Drew was right!
It really does takes my mind off my ex. Bro, you're the best!

	Onwards to the boring part! Legal matters! Hehehe. You can press
'fast-forward' now.

	Well, first of all, this story, as you will certainly find out
soon, is TOTALLY fictional. So! If any of you truly believe in it... well,
my brother is studying psychiatry right now for his final medical
examination in April, so maybe I'll just refer you to him. You'd make a
good delusional subject. Secondly! None of the guys in the Backstreet Boys
are gay! (No matter how hard I wished it :P). But nobody say we couldn't
dream it, heh heh. Thirdly, Warren Worthington is actually a character from
Marvel Comics, X-men known as Angel or recently Archangel. Okay fine, I
admit it. I'm bored and I am making a pathetic attempt to make life a lil'
bit interesting. Its not like I'm gonna publish it or something. What else
to talk about hmm? Oh, there may be some adult gay scenes in this
story. Unlike my brother, I don't mind writing naughty stuff ;) so! If
you're underage, naughty, naughty! I can only ask you to go away, but I
cannot do anything else to stop you from reading on anyway. Hell! I've been
sneaking into the internet to watch gay porns since I was 13! So, if your
parents or whoever responsible for you catch you, don't say I didn't warned
you. However, if you're homophobic... well maybe I can seduce you enough to
turn you around heh heh. I do so love a challenge ;)

	Anyway, enough talk. Any comments or boos or suggestion or
whatever, just sent it to the same address as in NNTs,
goldenknightuk@yahoo.co.uk . Yeah, we shared the same address. Don't
ask. Long story.

	Okay then! On to the show. Now, don't be shy now. If you got any
comments or suggestions, just drop me a note. You do the request, and I'll
do the show.

	Andy

*******************************

Rays of sunlight streaks into the room, right onto Nick's sleeping
face. The face was peaceful at first, until the rays get warmer, and
warmer. It started with one twitch on the face... then another... then
comes the irritated frown... followed by a stirring and a moan.

	'God damn it! Who turns on the damn light??' Nick thought groggily
as he pulled his bedcover up and buries himself underneath it.

	But the forces of nature should not be taken lightly. Pretty soon
after that, the whole bed is warm enough to bake him brown. Resigned, Nick
sat up, blinking repeatedly, trying to shake off the sleep from his
eyes. Turning to the small table next to the bed, he peered at the clock.

	'9 a.m.' Nick thought sleepily, 'what happened to breakfast?'

	Getting off from the extra-comfortable bed is the hardest thing to
do in his life so far, but unless he wants to wet the bed, he better get to
the bathroom while he still have the chance.

	He was still in the bathroom, brushing his teeth, when a knock at
the door nearly makes him jumps off his skin.

	"Nick?" Brian's voice floated in. "You awake?"

	"Yeah!" Nick shouted from the bathroom. "Be there in a minute!"

	Finishing off his brushing hastily, he stumbled across the room and
put on his bathrobe. Muttering the usual morning curses under his breath,
he makes his way towards the door. Opening it, he was greeted by the
annoyingly cheerful face of Brian. God! Wouldn't it be nice to throw a
punch at him just for the sake of wiping the cheerful grin off his face...

	"Morning, sleepy head!" Brian greeted with his most cheerful voice,
silently enjoying Nick's worst withering glare that would probably turn
everyone else into stone. "I brought you breakfast!"

	Amazingly, the glare vanished as Brian passed the plate containing
bacon, eggs and waffles over Nick's nose.

	"Gimme that!" Nick grumbled not quite unkindly as he snatches the
plate and move back into the room. Oh! The sweet taste of waffles! He sat
down on the couch and started to eat.

	"I brought you some coffee too." Said Brian.

	"You didn't call me for breakfast?"

	"After last night, we thought its better to let you sleep late and
rest. Its not like we have anything planned anyway. The tour is
finished. We're officially on our long deserved vacation."

	Nick closed his eyes and smiled as he sniffed the sweet scent of
coffee.

	"When is your flight?" he asked after a while.

	"Noon."

	"I'm gonna miss you." Nick said sadly. Brian opened his mouth to
speak but Nick interrupted him. "But I understand, Brian. You're a married
man. You need to be with your wife."

	Brian smiled sadly and nodded.

	"Thanks Nick. That really means a lot to me."

	"How's Leigh Ann anyway?"

	"She's doing fine. I called her last night, telling her about what
happened to you. She was worried."

	"Well, tell her not to. I'm fine now."

	"Are you going home, or are you hanging out here for a while?"

	"I'm hanging out here a while. I called mom and dad last night
too. They're renovating the house and it might take a while before things
settle down, so its best if I stay here a while. Anyway, it's the only way
to get out from having to help out. Aaron came back home earlier than me
and mom has already recruited him to paint the kitchen."

	Brian laughed at that.

	"Poor guy. Anyway, how are you feeling this morning? You had a good
night?"

	"I slept like a baby most of the night yeah, though I got up at
around 2 last night and went out to the balcony to get some fresh air. I
must be seeing things because I thought I saw an angel flying off the floor
above."

	"A what?" Brian laughed. "God, did you hit your head when you fell
last night?"

	"I don't know. You were there last night. You tell me."

	"Well you must be half asleep or something. You shouldn't get out
there when you're half asleep, Nick. You might fall or something."

	"Yes, mommy. I won't do it again." Nick said teasingly before
laughing.

	"Fuck off, asshole."

	"Aaaaah!! The choirboy swears at last! Wait! Wait" Nick said
laughingly as he held out his hands to feel the air, "I think I can feel
hell freezing over... or maybe it's just me..."

	"Shut up!" Said Brian as he punch Nick lightly at the arm.

	The banters went on for a while with the two starting to trade
insults to each other. Outside, the sun grew higher and soon, another knock
arise from the door.

	"Brian, Nick, you in there?" AJ's voice floated in.

	"Come in. Its not locked." Said Nick.

	The door opened and AJ, Kevin and Howie entered.

	"Well, well, well! The sleeping beauty awakes!" said AJ.

	"Yo, Nick! How're ya feelin'?" said Howie.

	"He's becoming delusional, D. He's starting to see angels flying in
the night." Brian laughed from where he sat when Nick punched him lightly.

	"Great. Thanks a lot, Brian. Now they'll think I'm going batty."
Nick huffed.

	"Damn right we are!" AJ laughed. "Someone call a shrink now! We've
got a schizos case here!"

	"I knew this day would come. I just knew it!" Kevin smiled as he
shook his head sadly.

	"Ooooh Nick! I'm an angel coming to take you to heaven!!" Howie
laughed as he began to flap his hands about.

	"Fuck off!" said Nick laughingly.

	"Man! That's sick!" said Howie. "You cannot do that to an angel!
That's blasphemy! Preach something, Brian!"

	The others laughed at that, including Nick. They chatted and
exchange banter for some time before AJ called for everyone attention.

	"Hey! Why don't we say hello to Warren and Jubilee?"

	"Good idea!" said Brian. "Kevin and I are leaving soon anyway, so
we might as well say our goodbyes now."

	"C'mon. He's upstairs right?" said Howie.

	"Yeah. C'mon." said Kevin.

	"But I'm not dressed yet!" Nick protested, clinging to his
bathrobe.

	"Well, la-dee-daa princess. Its not like you're going to seduce him
or something. C'mon!" said AJ.

	Nick just sighed, rushed into his room, took off his bathrobe,
threw on a T-shirt and sweat pant and then rushed off after the others...

*********************************

	A warm shower in the morning is actually the closest thing to
Nirvana a person could ever get without sex. That is Warren's first thought
as he let the warm water gushes over his body. His spread his wings apart
as far has he could until it touches the shower wall and just stand there,
relaxing under the warm caress of the flowing water. Ooooh man! This feels
nice!

	Soaping himself gently, he moaned softly as the last shred of his
sleepiness dissipated. Last night flight was exactly what he
needed. Soaring through the sky as if he owns it, watching the sleeping
world below him, absolutely oblivious to his presence above. By the time he
returned, it was almost 4 o'clock. But it was worth it. He just changed
into his sweat-pants and fell asleep as soon as his face touches the
pillow.

	About half an hour later, he steps out of the shower stall and
dries himself. He wiped the steam from the mirror and looked at
himself. His mouth tightened slightly at the sight of his blue skin - how
he hated his blue skin. It reminds him of his failure, his stupidity, his
arrogance, his folly in trusting Apocalypse.

	Shaking himself off the gloomy thought, he set off to comb his
hair. The blond locks flow easily and soon, he is ready to face the
day. Throwing a towel around his naked hip, he walks out of the bathroom
and open his closet. He was too busy choosing the clothes he wanted to wear
for the day when a knock from the front door startled him out of his
reverie.

	"Jube, get the door will you?" He yelled from his room, hoping the
girl is awake by now.

	The knocks sounded again a moment later.

	"Jubilee!!"

	He is only rewarded by an irritated moan from the
guestroom. Muttering a bundle of curses and oaths to a certain lazy 18
years old girl, he made his way towards the front door. The knock arises
again, louder this time.

	"I'm coming! I'm coming!" He grumbled, catching hold of his towel,
as it was about to slip off. Grabbing his image inducers, he switches it on
and wedged it at the edge of his towel. Almost immediately, the air around
him rippled and his skin color changed into the typical normal skin color
and his wing vanished from view.

	The knocking arises again and he rushed to the door and almost
wrenched it open in his haste.

	"Yes?! What is... oh! Hey guys!"

********************************

	"Hey Warren. What's up?" said AJ as Warren opened the door. "Uh-oh!
Looks like we caught you at a bad time. Should we come back later? We
thought we came up to say hi."

	"No, no! You're more than welcome! Come in, come in!" Warren stood
aside to let them all in. "I just came out of shower and was sorting
through my closet. You didn't disturb me at all. Jubilee!!"

	Nick eyes were actually bulging when he saw the near naked Warren.

	'Oh my God! What is happening to me?' Nick groaned inwardly as he
mustered all his self-control and will. The last thing he wanted to happen
is being caught staring at Warren's perfectly sculpted body and be branded
as a faggot!

	And being honest to himself, Warren truly is a piece of living
art. Even as Nick shifted his eyes away from Warren or looked to the floor,
he couldn't help stealing glances from time to time to look at that
marvelous body in awe. Beautiful doesn't exactly justify the man. With that
golden locks of hair, each falling exactly in the right places to the
glimmering deep blue eyes to that beautiful lips that simply begs to be
kissed to that perfect chin and cheek-bone that partly define his beauty
with a thousand words, down to that broad, powerful chest... and those
arms! Those strong powerful and muscular arms that were made to protect
whomever it have wrapped around. Then on to that powerful torso, with it's
magnificent six pact and to say nothing to that towel-covered hips that
shows a pretty obvious bulge at the front, obviously hinting at everything
and yet hiding it all and finally down to those legs... oh those powerful,
muscular legs... long, graceful athlete legs. Who is this man? Apollo in
disguise? With this intensity of beauty he possesses, this man shouldn't be
here at all! This man should be in the art museum, where he can be admired
and worshipped and loved. Beauty doesn't define this man. This man defines
beauty!!

	Nick's heart sank at that very moment. That's it... he has
definitely reached the bottom of the well, with no way out and the water
filling in. Of all the good, living things in this world, of all the miles
of traveling and all the people and fan, especially all those girls, he
met, he has to become attracted to another man... and not only any man, it
has to be Warren Worthington the Third, multi-billionaire and sole owner of
Worthington Industries. His normal, routine life... as he knows it... is
over...

********************************

	"So when are you two headed off home?" said Warren cheerfully as he
led them to the sitting room, unconscious of Nick's staring eyes on his
back.

	"Noon. Its almost ten now, so we thought we'd say good bye now
before we forget." Said Kevin.

	"You must be looking forward to go home after all those months of
traveling."

	"You have no idea." Brian smiled as he sat down onto the couch.

	"Hey, make yourself at home okay. There are some food and drinks in
the fridge there and if you need anything, just give me a shout. I just go
and put on some clothes. Won't take a minute." Said Warren.

	"Sure. Take your time, Warren." Said Howie.

	"Where's Jubilee, by the way?" asked AJ.

	"She's still out cold... no wait, here she is. Guys, behold! The
wicked witch of the east!"

	They all looked at the little ragamuffin girl entering the room,
still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. One look at the guys caused her eyes
to widen though, and the ensuing shriek would have woken up the dead and
kills those who are dying.

	"Aaaaaaaahhh!!! Don't look at me! Don't look at me!!!" Jubilee
screamed as she rushed back into the room and slams the door.

	Everyone laughed and Warren smirked as he walks back into his room
to put on his clothes. Score of the day: Warren 1, Jubilee 0. War has been
declared to Jubilee, may the best contestant wins.

	He looked at his clothes, all specially tailored considering that
his wings would be an obstacle to normal clothes, and selected one, along
with a boxer brief and a pants... hmm... which should it be today?

	In 10 minutes, he is fully dressed, image inducers switched on and
carefully in place, and the pleasing smell of expensive cologne wafted
about around him. He looked into the mirror and... Damn, he looked good. He
smiled to himself as he walked towards the door. He was well known to his
friends and colleagues at work, as a playboy, and before the incidence with
Apocalypse, he WAS a sex-maniac, arrogant playboy. But not anymore. Losing
his old wings has changed him forever in more ways than one.

	He walked out into the sitting room only to discover that Jubilee
has rejoined the guys, wrapped modestly in her bathrobe, with a baseball
cap covering her disastrous hair.

	"The playboy arrived!" she grinned at Warren. "Don't drool
guys. It'll only swell his head bigger than it already is."

	"Oh come now, Jube. Is that the best that you can do? You
disappoint me." Warren smiled back at her mockingly.

	"You realized that you've just declared war on me, right?" said
Jubilee. "You realized how unwise that is?"

	"You'll lose, sunshine."

	"The war is far from over, bird-brain." Said Jubilee. Mischief
twinkled in her eyes.

	"Talk's cheap, sweetheart." Warren smirked at her before turning to
the guys. "You guys comfortable?"

	"Are you kidding? With a place like this, I don't know how I could
even leave!" AJ sighed as he lounged blissfully against the soft couch.

	"This is a great place you got here, dude." Said Howie.

	"Thanks. I try to do my best."

	"You mean this is not your best?" asked Brian incredulously.

	"Huh. You should have seen his penthouse in New York." Said
Jubilee.

	"Hey, Jube. Play any games?" asked AJ as he picked up the
playstation controller.

	"You're signing your death warrant, Alex." Warren grinned as
Jubilee eagerly accepted the challenge.

	"Heh! We'll see about that."

	"Hey, Nick. Why so quiet?" asked Kevin.

	"You okay?" asked Warren, turning around to look at him. Nick
looked up with a queer look in his eyes, licking his lips unconsciously as
he nodded.

	"What? Oh yeah. You know me. One moment I'm fine and then I'm off
to la-la land." Said Nick. Brian glanced at him curiously. Subconsciously
he somehow knew something is off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

	"He's been daydreaming a lot lately." Kevin whispered conspiringly
to Warren.

	"Well, everyone needs someplace to escape." Warren smiled. "Just
don't get delusional or catatonic on me."

	"I don't know. I think it's too late for that." Said Howie. "Poor
guy had been seeing angels flying about in the sky last night."

	A thud from across the room drew everyone's attention towards
Jubilee as she dropped the controller to the floor. For a brief moment,
Warren and Jubilee caught each other's eyes. Then she grinned.

	"Oookay. I call the shrink, you get the cheque book Warren." She
laughed, never taking off her eyes from Warren. Warren subconsciously
admired her self-control.

	Warren on the other hand, was on the verge of panicking. How could
he have been so stupid??! He has completely forgotten that the guys are
occupying the room below them. Nick must have seen him flying last
night. What the hell was he doing up so late anyway?

	"Maybe I do need to see someone." Nick laughed. "Who knows how the
incidence last night affected my head? You guys don't want one crazy
Backstreet Boy running about right?"

	"Well..." said Brian slowly, grinning, as he study AJ, "Considering
we already have one crazy Backstreet Boy running about, I really cannot see
any difference with having two."

	"Hardy Har-har, Brian. Very funny." Said AJ. "Want me to give you
an applause?"

	"No need. I've had tonnes of that last night during the show."

	"I don't think you're crazy, Nick." Said Warren quietly. "You were
probably tired and half-asleep."

	"Yeah, I thought so too." Nick admitted before giggling softly. "I
woke up and went to the balcony to get some fresh air and *whoosh!* there's
a blond-haired angel jumping off from the balcony above mine and flew
away. For a moment, I thought it was you, because of the blond hair and the
fact that he was jumping off your balcony."

	Warren joined their laughter, thought no one noticed the touch of
nervousness in his voice. God! How would they react if they discover he is
a mutant? They'd probably freak out.

	"Well, sorry to disappoint you." Jubilee laughed. "We don't harbor
extra-terrestrial creatures, divine or not, here in Warren's House of
Wonder. So far, you only have to settle with one ragamuffin bimbo and a
cranky, stuck-up rich playboy."

	Warren lounged back sexily at that, giving them his sexiest smile
and a wink before bursting into laughter as the rest of the guys groaned
and laughed, completely unaware of Nick's blushing face. Jubilee is giving
him a lewd whistle while AJ wooed him mockingly and Howie is shouting and
waving him a ten-dollar note, causing Warren to jump to his feet and start
making a mocking striptease (without taking off his clothes of course!)

	"Yeah, baby!!" Brian shouted as he laughed.

	"Careful, B!" Kevin laughed alongside him. "Leigh-Ann wouldn't
appreciate this."

	The laughter and wooing went on for quite a while and got even
worst when Jubilee took Warren's place. Nick however, breathed out more
slowly in relief when Warren finally stopped gyrating his hips lewdly and
fell back down into the couch.

	'Oh God! I'm hard!!' Nick thought frantically as he glance down. He
quickly raised and hugged his knees, desperately forming the image of naked
dancing Whoopie Goldberg in his mind. 'Why? Why must it be a man? Why must
it be Warren?'

	Well, Whoopie Goldberg can certainly do the job alright. His
erection went away so fast he certainly hopes it can come back when he
needed it. Sighing with relief, he looked up at the blond man before
him. Nick has never felt attracted to a man before and to be honest, being
an open-minded guy that he is, he has no problem with
homosexuality. However, he never thought of the fact that he would be
one. And right now, he has absolutely no idea who to deal with it. Briefly,
he remembered a phrase from Star Trek: "To go to places where no man has
gone before." Hmm... how ironic. He has never explored the possibility of
being gay or bi before. What do a guy do when he is attracted to another
guy? Ask him out? Flowers? Love letter from a secret admirer?

Man! Things are much simpler with a girl. Maybe it's because he knows what
to expect or do with a girl. But guys? He always thought gay relationship
involve nothing but sex, but now he's not so sure... Speaking of sex, how
does two guys have sex? Nick blushes at the thought of Warren and him, in
bed, together, naked, that incredibly powerful arm wrapping around him
protectively as they... oh no. OH NO!! I am NOT even going to go there,
right now!! That brief mental image seems so wrong in his mind and yet it
seems so right in his heart. God dammit! Now he's hard again!! Now, where's
that Whoopie Goldberg thought go?

**********************************

	The banters and jokes went on a while until eventually, Brian and
Kevin stood up.

	"Well, Warren. It's been great hanging out with you. But we have to
start packing now and get prepared to leave for the airport." Said Kevin.

	"Aww man. So early?" Jubilee groaned.

	"Sorry, sweetcake." Brian smiled at her. "But you and Warren can
drop by to visit us anytime you want."

	"Ohhh! Can we, Warren?"

	"Of course. When we're free that is." Said Warren. Jubilee nodded
in understanding. Being a member of the X-men, there are always
possibilities that they might get called away from some mission or another
that they never really have a proper free time or holiday. More than once
in the past, Warren's holiday and even his dates, were cut short because of
an attack or another.

	"Here's our address and number," said Kevin as he wrote it on a
piece of paper and handed it to Warren. "Do keep in touch. Maybe you can
have dinner with our wives some day."

	"We'd love that. Here's my number." Said Warren as he handed his
card. "Have a good flight, you two. And say hi to Johnny if you see him
again."

	"Gotcha! Bye Warren. Take care of Nick." Said Kevin.

	"Bye Brian," said Nick as he gave Brian a hug. "Give me a call
sometimes okay?"

	"I'll check up on you from time to time, buddy." Brian smiled as he
returned the hug.

	"So what are you two going to do for the rest of the day?" asked AJ
when Kevin and Brian are gone.

	"Warren promised to take me to the mall. You wanna come along?"
said Jubilee.

	"Yeah, why not." Howie replied. "AJ? Nick?"

	"I'm up to it. Mind if we tag along, Warren?" said AJ, as Nick
nodded.

	"Of course not. You guys go and change. We'll go as soon as you -
and Jubilee - are ready."

	"Cool! See you in a while," said AJ and the three left the room.




	"Nick saw you last night." Jubilee grinned as soon as they are
alone.

	"I forgot they are staying in the rooms downstairs!" Warren
groaned.

	"Well, count yourself lucky we managed to cover it nicely."
