Fool
Part 14 - The Last One
By Pris G
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lance was slowly packing his stuff, making sure he didn't forget anything,
when he heard a knock on the door to his room, "I'm coming!" he said loudly
as he made his way to the door, staring wide-eyed at the person on the other
side when he opened the door and saw who it was.

"Hi..."

"C? What- Aren't you supposed to be in New York or something?" Lance asked,
trying to stop his hands from shaking so much as he walked back to the bed
where his suitcase rested open. He heard the door being closed and then JC
was right beside him and he felt frozen.

"I kind of forgot something here though..." JC said vaguely as he turned
Lance around and kissed him.

Lance moaned and nearly melted when he felt JC's arm go around his waist,
pulling their bodies closer. No! He couldn't! JC loved Justin! "No! Josh,
stop..." Lance said, hating the whining in his voice, "We both know I love
you and kissing you is great and all but I'm not going to let you walk all
over my feelings like this-"

"Lance..."

"-you love Justin and I know you kissed me just because you were lonely-"

"Lance..."

"-but I'm not going to let you use me again, let go, Josh..."

"Lance!"

"What?" Lance asked, his voice breathy and shaky, his whole body tense and
he wouldn't look at JC's face.

"Look at me."

"Let go, Josh, please!" He really didn't want to start crying but if JC
didn't let him go he wouldn't have another alternative.

"Look at me," JC said softly and Lance finally looked up into his eyes. JC
hated that he had been the one to make Lance feel like this but he'd make it
right, "I love you."

"No! No, you love Justin!" Lance exclaimed as he was finally able to push JC
away, "You love Justin!" He paced angrily before turning with angry green
eyes to JC, "I don't want your pity!"

"Lance..."

"No! I'm not letting you do that to me! I love you, yes, but that doesn't
mean you can just walk in and say that and expect me to just fall for it!
You kissed me because you were lonely, you didn't kiss me because you wanted
to kiss me! That's not love, that's rebound! You can't have Justin so you
turn to me because I love you anyway, right?"

"That's not it at all! Yes, I kissed you yesterday because I was lonely and
I wanted to feel better! I'm not proud of it and I'm sorry!" JC said
desperately, "I'm not sorry that I kissed you, I'm sorry it was for the
wrong reason. I'm sorry that I was too slow to realize that somewhere along
the way I fell in love with you and it took hurting you to make me see that
I wanted to be with you. I had to do something stupid to realize that I had
been so wrapped up in feeling sorry for myself because of a love I couldn't
have that I didn't notice that my feelings for you had changed."

"You're saying you're not in love with Justin anymore?" Lance asked softly
as tears ran down his cheeks. Was he really hearing what he had dreamed of
hearing for years now?

"I still love Justin but I'm not in love with him anymore, not the way I
used to anyway. And I want to give myself another chance because I'm tired
of sacrificing myself and my feelings. For once I want to be selfish and
feel loved back. Please give me a chance..." JC finished in a whisper and
for a while the only sound in the room was their laboured breathing.

"So, you're not doing this because you can't have Justin and I'm the next
best thing?"

"No. I'm here because I want to be with you. Period. I'm not here until
Justin is available. I'm not here because of him, I'm here because of you
and because of me."

"Oh God..." Lance closed his eyes and put his hands on his head. It was
overwhelming to finally be able to do what he had been wanting to do for
years. Years of wanting JC to say all the things he'd just said, years of
wanting something he'd never have. And now it was being given to him.

"I was a fool, Lance. Please, give me a chance. Please, give us a chance,"
JC whispered and when had JC gotten this close? Lance looked up and for the
first time he actually saw it there. Something he'd never thought he'd see.
JC's eyes filled with love. For him.

"Yes..." Lance smiled up at JC, who took Lance's hand and kissed the palm,
"Yes..."



THE END

See? It sucks but it's finished! The first slash series I'm actually able to
