Fate Will Gather Us Together
Chapter Twelve
By Sophie V. (wind_phoenix@hotmail.com, wind_angel@myplace.com)

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

"So, while we do this show, you'll be ready for the concert." said Kevin.

"No problem, man." said Denis "I think that I'll go to some club, after.
Want to join me?"

"No, I'll work, tonight." said Kevin "So no club for me."

"Okay... Mark?"

"Need to say my answer?" said Mark with a grin.

"Fred?"

"No problem."

"Okay... Gene?"

"I don't know... maybe, I'm not sure..." said Gene. "Maybe I'll stay at the
hotel or maybe not... I'll think about it."

"And you guys?" asked Denis to AJ, Howie, Brian and Nick.

"Sure, why not?" said Howie "I'll go too."

"Same here. I want to go out." said AJ. He then turned to Brian "And you,
Rok?"

"I don't know... I'll see tonight, after the concert."

"And you, Nick?"

"I don't know either." said Nick. "I'll decide after too."

Mark looked closely at Nick, a slight frown on his face. Then, he got up and
walked further in the bus. Except him, no one seemed to have seen that Nick
had looked at Brian while he answered.

"He seems to have something in his mind... What could it be?" he thought.

"Hey, Marko." said someone beside him. He looked at his left and saw Gene,
smiling.

"Uh... yeah, kiddo?"

"Which club is good at Fort Lauderdale?"

"In fact, I don't really know..." he said, turning toward Denis "You know
something, man?"

"Yes, there's a good club, not far from where we'll do the concert." said
Denis. "So, you're coming, Gene?"

"I don't know..."

"Oh, come on! Since we met, you had never gone out with us!" said Mark,
putting his arm around his shoulders. "You'll have fun!"

"Oh, okay." said Gene, smiling "I'll go with you."

"Great!" said Fred, grinning "You'll show us your talent in dancing and
singing."

"Uh? How do you know that..." said Gene, before Denis cut him.

"AJ told us about this night in New York. So, you better be ready to start
again! We can sing in this club too. If we know dance songs, of course."

"I know a lot of them!" said Gene, proudly.

"Okay, I think there will be a lot of fun, tonight!" said Fred.

"And then Gene will have some hot fun with Brian..." said Mark, raising his
eyebrows several times. Gene's answer was a pillow throwing in his face.

"You pervert!" said Gene, chuckling "Always speaking about that. Right now,
I'll prefer a romantic rendezvous."

"Nice French." said Mark "You know some words?"

"No, I speak French." said Gene "This is my second language."

"Really?" said Mark "How we said 'ass' in French?"

"You really think that I'm going to translate that?" said Gene, smiling.

"Please... So if I found a pretty girl or boy, I will be able to whisper,
'you have a nice ass' without them hearing me or slapping me in the face
because they know what I said!"

"They'd ask you what you said... or they'd slap you in the face because they
DID understand what you said... So what's the difference?"

"Please, Gene?" said Mark as he pouted "Pleazzzzze... for me... for
Markoooo..."

Gene sighed and laughed. After all, he risked nothing if he said that.

"Um..." he whispered, thinking "T'as un beau cul."

"Sorry?"

"'You have a nice ass' is, in French, 'tu as un beau cul'!" repeated Gene,
more loudly, as he blushed.

"Aah... thanks." said Mark, smiling "I'll say: T'as un beau cul."

Then Gene burst out laughing.

"What? What did I say?" said Mark, confused.

"You just said: you have a nice neck!" said Gene, between laugh "Learn to
say U like and not U like 'UEFA'!"

"Eer... uh... Oh... well I'll try." said Mark "I'm not very good at French
or Spanish... or all the other languages if it's not English."

"Anyway, I really don't know if it will help you tonight." said Gene.

"Well, it will help, who know? After all, maybe tonight you'll have some ass
too." said Mark.

"Come on, I don't need to be horny, now..." said Gene, rolling his eyes as
he walked in the back of the bus. Denis and Fred followed him.

"Brian will get some young blond ass tonight..." whispered Mark, smiling, as
he joined them. He didn't know that Nick was just behind him and had heard
him.

"You're probably right, Mark, You're probably right." he mumbled, shaking
his head.

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

"So, you decide for tonight?"

"Yes, and I'm not coming. I hope you understand..."

"Of course, Bri." said Gene, kissing him on the cheek "But I won't come back
until late tonight. Mark wants me to stay very late, 'til we all come back."

"I understand that, but don't worry. I'll try to be awake 'til you come
back."

"You don't have to." said Gene as he sat next to him on the bed. "It would
be better if you sleep. You'll be exhausted after the concert."

"Maybe..." said Brian as he leaned "But I won't be exhausted for that..."

Then, he pressed his lips against Gene's and hugged him close. Gene took the
move and pressed himself against him, forcing Brian to lie down on the bed.
They just kissed; there weren't any sexual touches. Finally, Gene broke the
kiss for air.

"I'll get used to it." he said, grinning.

"Yeah, me too..." whispered Brian before he started to kiss him again, in a
more passionate way. Gene involuntarily jumped a little as he felt Brian's
hands caressing his butt.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't do that." said Brian as he pulled his hands away.

"No, it's okay, Brian..." said Gene "I really don't mind."

"Really?" asked Brian, unsure.

"Tais-toi et embrasse-moi." said Gene, causing Brian to giggle.

"Oooh... French, uh?" he said, grinning "My boy can speak French."

"And can give French kisses." said Gene as he started to kiss him once
again, pushing his tongue deep inside his mouth. Brian moaned and rolled
over so that he was lying on top of him. They continued to kiss for two
minutes or so when someone knocked on the door.

"Damn..." said Brian as he broke the kiss "It's not the moment..."

"We'll continue later..." said Gene as he kissed him lightly on the lips.
Brian got up and walked toward the door.

"Well, it's about time." said Kevin as he opened the door.

"What is it, cuz?" asked Brian.

"Well, did you forget that we have an interview to do?" said Kevin "So you
better be ready."

"Okay." sighed Brian "And, by the way, I'm staying at the hotel after the
concert."

"Okay, but..." said Kevin as he walked toward the elevator "Don't restart to
'play' with Gene. I don't need a horny cuz at the show."

"Hahaha." said Brian, rolling his eyes, as he walked back in his room. When
no one was in sight, Nick stepped out of a corner and walked back, quietly
in his room.

"Perfect..." he thought "That leave him and me."

As he entered in his room, he sat down on his bed and sighed sadly. Then, he
pulled out a picture of him and Brian of his pocket and kissed it softly.

"Even if you never really wanted me, Brian, I'll be yours tonight..." he
said softly.

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

"Just walk around, walk around the hill... " sang Gene quietly as he played
some note on his electronic guitar.

"Something tell me that this isn't exactly the way the song is going." said
Mark, grinning.

"No, it's not." said Gene, blushing a little. "I sang it to my brother while
he was sleeping, last night."

"Aww... so sweet." said Denis, giggling "And who sing this?"

"Tina Cousin..." answered Gene "I have her album and this is great... but
this song is on the album of another artist."

"I see... so what are you going to sing, tonight?" asked Fred.

"Gee, I don't know." said Gene "I didn't even think about it... maybe I'll
sing the songs that they'll play..."

"Why won't you sang something made by some French artists? Like 'Lady' from
Mojo? I heard it plenty of time when we were in Europe a few times ago with
the group..."

"Ewww, no way!" said Gene, frowning "I'm not gonna sing that! I hate that
song!"

"Why? It's not that bad." said Denis. "I like it."

"Well, I don't." said Gene "So, just forget about that song."

"So what are you going to sing?"

"Well, sometimes I go on the Net and I go to some sites of some French
radios where you can hear them... and I know this radio station who play
dance songs very often, and a lot the night."

"Really? Which name is?"

"Radio Espace." said Gene "I like this station."

"Well, we'll listen to it one day at the hotel." said Fred "I'm curious."

"Me too." said both Mark and Denis.

Gene smiled and nodded. He looked up from his guitar and looked at the
concert hall. He could see some people finishing some adjustments before THE
concert.

"The first concert of the Black and Blue Tour..." he thought "This is gonna
be big..."

He looked at the different people and saw not far from him a tall man who
seemed to look directly at him. Then, he saw the man leaving while staring
at him. He seemed tall, about 6'2'', with long dark hair. Gene really didn't
like the look this man was giving to him. It was very dark.

"Who he was?" he whispered.

"Problem, Gene?" asked Mark as he sat beside him.

"Don't know..." whispered Gene "I think I saw a man about your weight with
long dark hair glaring at me."

Mark looked at Gene and then at the other two. As Gene looked at them, he
could swear that something was wrong.

"What? Do you know him?" he asked.

"Um... no..." said Fred, shrugging "Maybe it was just someone from the
management."

"Yeah, I think that too." said Mark, as Denis nodded. Gene nodded slowly but
could feel that something was wrong. But what?

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

Despite that, everything went well. As well as for Gene than for the other
guys. The concert went well, there weren't important problems. Gene was
actually very amazed to play in the first concert of the tour. It was as if
he played for the first time at a concert. He only hoped that the rest of
the concerts and the tour would be as great as this night.

"I pay the drinks!" screamed AJ "A hurrah for the first concert of the
tour!"

"A hurrah for the fans who were great tonight! As always!" said Howie.

"And a hurrah for Gene who just played the very first concert of the tour!"
said Mark.

Then everyone screamed 'hurrah!' and drank their beers. They were actually
at the club and were having a great time.

"Hey, girl!" said Mark to the waitress. "Who is this nice girl over here
that you just served? Do you know here?"

"She's a Belgian tourist." answered the girl before she walked back to the
bar.

"Great! So I can tell her what you told me, Gene!" he said as he got up and
walked toward her.

"What did he say?" asked Gene, who was talking to AJ.

"He said that he was going to say to this Belgian girl what you told him in
French..." said Fred. "You remember: 'T'as un...' er, I don't remember..."

"To a Belgian girl?!" said Gene, shocked. "Oh shit."

"What's wrong?" said Denis.

Gene looked at the table where was the girl and saw Mark quietly speaking to
her, a big smile on his face.

"No, Mark!" he called "Don't say..."

SLAP!

"... That." said Gene as Mark held his cheek. The girl walked away, and
seemed angry.

"That was what I fear." said Gene as he sat back.

"Gee... Gene, what did you learn to me?" said Mark as he walked back with a
red left cheek. "She slapped so hard."

"Mark... Belgians DO speak French too, if you didn't know." said Gene.

"Oh shit... I totally forget..." said Mark as he sat. The others just
laughed at him.

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

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Brian, who was reading a book, got up and opened the door. At the door was
Nick, but because he was wearing the same clothes that Gene had when he left
for the club, Brian thought it was Gene.

"Hey, Gene! You're already back." said Brian.

"Yeah, I was bored." said Nick as he entered in the room. Brian didn't
suspect something.

"Good..." he thought, "He really thinks that I'm Gene."

"What were you doing?" he asked.

"Just reading a book. But we can do something else if you want." said Brian,
smiling.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you... about Nick." said Nick, seriously.
Brian's smile faded.

"Why? Something is wrong with Nick?" asked Brian, worried.

"No, it's just that I want to know... well, what did you REALLY think about
him... before me?" said Nick.

"Oh..." said Brian as he sat "You mean... when I had... feelings for him?"

Nick was shocked to hear that but kept a straight face. Otherwise, Brian
would recognize him.
"Kevin lied?!" he thought "But... why did he do that? He never lied to me
before!"

"Well, yeah." said Nick as he sat beside him "I really want to know more
about it... please, Brian."

Brian sighed and started to talk.

"Well... I was bi since I was 17. When I joined the band, I didn't tell the
other guys about it. I told Kevin a year after... he was shocked but he
accepted it. He just said to be as discreet as possible about it until I was
ready to tell the other guys."

"What..." thought Nick, shocked "Kevin knew that he was bi since... Oh god,
I'm fucking gonna kill him!!!"

"And there was your twin brother Nick... our friendship was so strong, he
quickly became my best friend and with him, everything was so great! And
several years ago, when we were playing Truth or Dare, AJ dared me to kiss
him... it was also the first time that I was kissing another man..."

Nick's mouth opened slightly. It was also his first kiss with a man.

"I felt something when I kissed him... something deep in my heart... I knew
a few times later that I had a crush on him. Then later, I met L... My
ex-wife. This time it was love. And my feelings for Nick had disappeared...
well I THOUGHT that they had disappeared but when she betrayed me, Nick
stayed with me all the way... He was there... he never left my side... only
twice when he had to go back to his family for two days or so... but he was
always there. Sometimes, I even fell asleep in his arms, with him holding me
so close... I could feel his heart beating... All these feelings had came
back and were even stronger... I wanted to stop them, I knew that I would
never had his love, he wasn't gay or bi. Then I met you... you're a great
guy, Gene. I'm happy with you and that's all that matter, now."

Brian looked at Nick and saw some tears streaming down his face. He wiped
them away slowly as Nick started to speak.

"I... I didn't know that Brian." said Nick "G... Nick had never told me
that... I mean, he said how much he wanted to stay by your side because he
hates to e cares so much about you..."

"I know, Nick is a great guy." said Brian as he took Nick's hands. "I have
to be honest with you, Gene."

"Yes?" Brian looked up at him in his eyes.

"You're probably wondering if I still love Nick..." Nick shook his head his
head 'yes', wanting to know the answer.

"The answer is yes. I love Nick but I love you too... I don't want you to
think that I don't love you."

Nick let some tears streaming down his face and quickly wiped them with the
sleeve of his sweater. Brian loved him, but he was Gene's one.

"I know, Brian, I know." he said. "But you have to know that you have a big
place inside of his heart..."

"I know." said Brian. "I hope that I didn't upset you with that... I need
you..."

"And I need you too, Brian, I'll never leave your side." said Nick, putting
Brian's hands over his heart.

"Neither will I." said Brian.

They looked in each other eyes and both leaned softly, slowly closing their
eyes. Nick could felt his heart beating loudly, as he knew what was about to
happen. Then, as joy and love filled his heart, his lips met Brian's.

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

"Come on, Gene!" said Mark, drunk "Sing for us!"

"No problem!" said Gene as he went on the stage. He talked to the DJ who
nodded, while smiling.

"Okay, people! Time for this pretty man to sing!" he said in his micro as
Gene took another one. Everyone cheered as Gene started to sing.

"Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let me dance along,
Until the lights are on!"

Everyone started to dance to the music, as Gene continued to sing.

"You leave me once again home alone,
The fridge is full but my heart is arching.
You think I can make it on my own,
Just a kiss and you are gone.

Another night like a million before,
Another party where I'm not invited,
As always you'll heat the dance floor,
In front of your turntables going mad."

Gene was trying hard not to laugh as he sang, as Mark was dancing,
carelessly, moving his arms in all directions with two beers in his hands.
It was actually very funny to look at.

"Why don't you keep me close to you?
I'm not anymore the kid you knew,
Why should I stay deep in the blue?
I wanna move my body too...

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let me dance along,
Until the lights are on,
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let the music play,
Until the break of day.

We've been aside since I meant to be,
A part of you was just awaking.
My life with you is a fantasy,
I am your prince and you are my king.

You say your thing drives sometimes you insane,
You think you're no good father and so you're ashamed,
But all I want is to share your pain,
Clubbin' the night along and having fun,

Why don't you keep me close to you?
I'm not anymore the kid you knew,
I wanna feel this part of you,
I wanna move my body too...

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let me dance along,
Until the lights are on,
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let the music play,
Until the break of day.

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let me dance along,
Until the lights are on,
Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let the music play,
Until the break of day.

Daddy DJ
Daddy DJ
Daddy DJ

Daddy DJ, please take me to the party,
And let me dance along,
Until the lights are on..."

Then Gene put down the micro as the song end. Everyone cheered and screamed
for another song. But Gene smiled at them and shook his head 'no'.

"Hey, why don't you continue?" asked Fred, as Gene joined the others.

"I'm tired... I think I'm gonna leave..." said Gene.

"Oh, come on, Genie DJ!" said Mark as he put his arms around him. "You're
not gonna leave us now, are you?"

"Sorry, but I really need to take a nap." said Gene as he walked away from
the dance floor.

"Say 'hello!' to Brian's ass for me!" said Mark, giggling. Gene just stuck
out his tongue at him and walked away.

The air was cool, outside. Gene took a big breath and sighed contently. It
was too hot in the club.

"Aaah..." he whispered, content "Much better outside..."

Then, he heard some noise. He looked behind him and saw a man walking in the
parking. Gene was sure that he was looking at him. He walked in the
direction of the way but found no one. It was just a dark parking, lighted
by some street lamps.
"Strange..." he whispered. He then walked back toward the road and walked
toward a taxi parked not far from the club.

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

"Mmmm..." said Brian as he broke the kiss, smiling "I... That was the best
kiss that I ever received, Gene."

"Thanks, Brian." said Nick, smiling. It was the same for him. A
heart-stopping kiss.

With that, he closed his eyes and kissed Brian once again. Then, he pushed
him more on the bed and Brian lay softly on the pillows, pulling him on top
of him. Nick couldn't help but to shudder at that feeling. He could also
feel himself getting hard as he rubbed his crotch against Brian's one,
causing both of them to moan softly.

"Oh... god..." moaned Brian, enjoying this feeling. Nick took his sweater
and pulled it up as far as he could. Brian quickly removed it and Nick
immediately started to kiss his chest. Brian just lay there, and sometimes
ran his hands in Nick's hair, enjoying everything that he was doing. Nick
was also enjoying that. He spent a lot of times kissing Brian's chest, navel
and occasionally ran his tongue around Brian's nipples, causing him to moan
in ecstasy.
Brian had never had gay sex before, except in his dreams, and was truly
happy that, this time, everything was real. But he didn't know that it was
with Nick, and not with Gene.
As Nick sat between Brian's legs and was about to undo the belt of his
pants, Brian stopped him by taking his hands. He looked at Brian who sat up
and pulled Nick's sweater up. Nick quickly removed it and Brian began to do
everything that Nick had done to him earlier.

"Brian..." moaned Nick as Brian kissed his nipples and lightly bit them.
Brian continued to work on his chest for a few minutes, until Nick pulled
his head up and kissed him on the lips.

"I want to make you feel so good..." he whispered as he broke the kiss and
started to massage his crotch. Brian couldn't help moaning as he started to
kiss and suck Nick's neck.

"Don't stop, babe, that feels so good..." he moaned into his ear, which
cause Nick to shiver in pleasure. Nick continued his movements and Brian
grabbed his hairs and kissed him passionately. Nick started to squeeze
lightly Brian's crotch and started to undo the belt.

"Oooh... Kaos..." whispered Brian very softly against Nick's lips. Then, he
realized what he just said. One of Nick's nickname.
"Oh shit..." he thought, worried "I hope he didn't hear me..."

"Frick..." moaned Nick as he rubbed once again his crotch against Brian's
and kissed him passionately. He didn't realize what he just said but Brian
did.

"Frick?!" he thought, confused "But... how he know that? Only Nick called me
like that!"

None of them heard the door opening...
