Subject: JC & Jas 6

Disclaimer: I am not assuming anything about the lives of anyone in this
story. Many may wish things to be true, but who knows so don't be offended,
just enjoy. If you're UNDER 18, stop reading this, and all that other legal
stuff.

This is my first attempt, and I know this story lacks sexual adventures,
give it time, I want them to get to know eachother first, okay?

And real quick I want to say a big THANK YOU to Sarah, sweetie you're the
best! You've helped me through it all, and I KNOW ya would never do this in
real life, but I gotta shake things up, right? Thanks for all your support
when I decided to write this thing, I know I wouldn't have started writing
again if it wasn't for you!

	"Yeah, well now we're even. I can't even believe all that stuff you
just went through in there, what were you trying to do?" JC asked, still
amazed.
	"Oh, I was just trying to get them to invest in our newest
release."  Jason replied, not really paying attention, it was basically
second nature to him by now. He walked over to the bathroom to hang the
suit up to be cleaned.
	"Oh yeah, that makes it all clear. I should've realized!" JC said,
shaking his head incredulously and following Jason into the bathroom and
wrapping his arms around his waist and whispering in his ear. "You're
amazing, you know that?"
	Jason shivered as JC's arms went around him and his lips trembled
against his ear. "How's that?"
	"Geez Jason!" JC said, getting frustrated. "Don't you understand
what you just did in there? Going in and totally charming those guys and
knowing actually KNOWING what you were talking about, and saying half of it
in another language! You're only 19!"
	"Well, yeah, um, my parents got me tutors in languages. I, I didn't
want to know it all. At least not when I was younger. Kids teased me a
lot."  Jason said, sitting down on the couch and looking a little upset.
	`He probably thinks of me like all the other "friends" I've ever
had did.  Some spoiled little rich kid.'
	"Oh Jason, don't get upset." JC said, sitting down next to him and
turning Jason to face him. "I didn't mean it like that, I just meant, well
you impress me. I mean, I never had the chance to really get into all of
it, I was busy with MMC and."
	"Busy with what?"
	"Oh god, I forgot you don't know who I am."
	"Huh? What are you talking about?"
	"Well, I mean you know me but you don't KNOW me. I'm used to
everyone I talk to knowing the JC from N'sync already. Which means they
know all the small minor details of my past so all I have to tell them is
what I want to share."
	"Oh, I guess. Well I don't know anything, I'm sorry. It's just."
	"Don't you dare apologize." JC cut him off. "You don't know how
nice it is, being with you and knowing you don't know a thing about me
unless I tell you. It's been so long since I've talked to someone who
didn't know anything about me. I love it. It helps me know you're a true
friend, if you want to know everything about me and have to come to me to
find out."
	"Well then I'm the truest friend you'll ever have because I want to
know everything about you!" Jason said, looking into JC's eyes which were
wet with tears. "God, that was corny." He said, starting to laugh slightly,
even though he meant everything he said. "Oh JC, what'd I do?" He finally
noticed the wetness had turned to a few stray tears.
	"Nothing. You didn't do a thing. I'm just, well I don't want to
scare you Jason, I just, I haven't been this happy in so long, having
someone like you, even just to talk to."
	Jason leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
	"Well, I'm always here to talk, but I want a few of those from
those beautiful lips of yours every once in a while, too, ok? But only if
you promise to stop crying."
	JC started laughing and Jason kissed him again quickly.
	"Alright, now that you're done crying, you can go back to my
original question, what's MCM or whatever?"
	"MMC, Mickey Mouse Club."
	"Oh, um JC aren't you a little old to be into kiddie shows?" Jason
said, laughing as he joked around.
	"Ha Ha. Very funny. No, it was a few years back, and I didn't
watch, Justin and I were IN it. As in we starred on it."
	"Oh cool!"
	"Well, kind of. The thing was Justin was my only real friend. We
kind of latched on to eachother after we'd started the show and we just
stayed together throughout it. He became and still is my best friend."
	"Oh, that's really nice. Yeah when I was in high school I had like
one or two friends I considered close but the rest were either interested
in my money or were just casual friends like teammates or something."
	"Yeah, see once I started MMC, I just didn't really have any other
friends. I spent all my free time with Justin, so once N'sync started it
only made sense that he and I would remain just as close, I even moved in
with him."
	"Cool. See my two close friends, they kinda deserted me when I told
them I was gay. They thought I'd hit on them or something. So when my
parents got me my studio for my graduation gift, I think they just wanted
me out of the house actually, I was kind of on my own. Until I met Sarah at
least.  Oh CRAP! Sarah! I forgot to call her last night, she must be
worried sick!  Remind me to call her after we're done talking, ok?"
	`God, his best friend and he was supposed to call her last night
but he wants to finish talking to you first! He's such a sweetheart. . God,
what am I saying? I'm totally falling for this guy and I'm only going to be
with him for a week and a half. What if it doesn't even last that long?
He's still upset over his last boyfriend. Well, maybe not AS upset. Ugh!
What am I going to do!!!?'
	"Ok JC?"
	"Oh yeah, don't worry, I'll remember." JC said, snapping out of it.
	"Alright, thanks. So anyways, I met Sarah when I moved in, and we
just kinda clicked. I told her about me right out and she was good with it.
She's a year older than me but sometimes she acts 12 she can get so
hyper. I love her like a sister but then some because she's always been
there for me."
	"Yeah. That's the same thing I feel with Justin. I don't know what
I'd do without him, I depend on him so much, and he's so much younger than
I am!:"
	"Well, I want us to learn to depend on eachother. Friends through
it all, right?"
	"Right. But hopefully more. Jason, I'm totally serious when I say I
feel things stronger than friendship for you." JC said, looking into
Jason's eyes, hoping to see more than friendship there as well. What he saw
took his breath away. Jason looked back at him with such love and feeling
that JC felt tears in his eyes again as Jason leaned forward and they
kissed again. But this time, halfway through JC felt Jason open his mouth
slightly and push his tongue gently against JC's lips. Not hesitating a
second JC opened his mouth and pulled Jason's tongue in, swirling it around
and letting it explore every part of his mouth while he let his own tongue
slip into Jason's mouth.
	They sat entwined for at least 30 minutes when Jason heard an
annoying voice keep calling his name.
	"Mr. Randall? Jason???"
	Jason slowly pulled away. `My god, he took my breath away. God, I
think I am in---"
	"Jason!?" The voice was getting more irratated.
	"What!?" Jason yelled, trying to figure out where it was coming
from.
	"Mr. Randall?"
	"Oh, geez, it's my secretary." He ran over to the desk in the
corner and pushed a button. "Yeah Jean, what is it?"
	"Just thought you'd like to know Sarah called and wants you to meet
her for lunch at the caf‚ at 1pm. It's noon now, sir."
	"Oh, thank you Jean. Call her back for me and tell her I'll see her
then?"
	"No problem."
	Jason looked over at JC laying on the couch where he'd left him,
staring at his every movement.
	"What? Did I sit in something?"
	"No, I just love watching you."
	"Well come on stalker. You're coming with me so you can meet
Sarah. You're going to love her!"
	"Alright, as long you're there I don't care where we go."
	"Oh you're so sweet." Jason said, pulling him back into a kiss.
	"You know," JC said, breaking away for a minute, "if we keep this
up, we're never going to make it by 1, not that I mind spending the
afternoon like this, I just think she may be mad if you stand her up two
days in a row!"
	"Yeah, you're right, c'mon." Jason said, instinctively grabbing his
hand as he led him to the door.
	"Uh, Jason, again, I'd love to, but I don't think we should be
doing this either." JC said sadly, looking at their hands.
	"Oh don't worry about it. Everyone here knows about me."
	"Well, what if they recognize me. Um, I kind of, well the only
person who knows about me is Justin. Well and you now, too."
	"Oh, yeah and I suppose since you're famous. I'm sorry sweetie,"
Jason said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips, "I keep forgetting some
people may recognize you."
	"No problem. Let's just get to the car and I promise you for the
whole ride my hand won't be anywhere but in yours."
	"Sounds great!"

At the mall:
	"God Curly, this is so much fun, I haven't bought this much in
ages!"
	"Oh I know Scoop, it seems like forever since I've really had time
to shop."
	"C'mon, let's go grab something to eat at the food court, it's noon
already."
	"Geez, we just ate like 3 hours ago!"
	"I know, but I was upset while I was eating because I was telling
you and."
	"Oh Scoop, I was just kidding, don't get upset."
	"I'm not. Besides, don't tell me you're not hungry too?"
	"Well of course I am, I just wanted to make you feel like a pig
first!":
	"You jerk!" Lance said, trying to swing at him but dropping two of
his 10 bags instead.
	Justin started laughing so hard he almost dropped some of his 12
bags, too. "Maybe we should drop some of this back off at the jeep first?"
	"Great idea."
	They headed back to the jeep, but on the way out the door they ran
into a group of four girls, all about 12 who looked at them, then did a
double take. "OhmiGod!" One of them started to scream. Quickly Lance and
Justin set their stuff down and turned back to them.
	"Shh. Shhh! Yes, yes we're from N'sync. And if you promise to be
quiet we'll give you autographs!"
	One of the girls looked like she was going to faint but the mother
that was there quickly grabbed onto her.
	"I'm so sorry," she started to say to the guys, "it must be your
day off, but as you can see they're all big fans. Could you if it's not too
much of a bother and I'll make sure they leave you alone after?"
	"No problem," Justin said, laughing slightly. "We were bound to be
recognized eventually. I'm surprised we made it this long, aren't you
Scoop?"
	"Oh yeah, we got most of our shopping done and no run ins."
	Justin and Lance started signing and the girls calmed down.
	"So are you girls coming to the concert?" Lance asked, finishing
the last autograph.
	"No," they all whined at once. "We couldn't get tickets, they sold
out in such a short time. God, no one's going to believe we just ran into
you guys out here. OhmiGod."
	"Well we can't have that, can we Scoop?"
	"Oh of course not, if we spent time with these girls we need to
have people KNOW!"
	"What?" The girls were getting confused.
	"Wait one second," Justin said, running the bags over to the car
and coming right back. "Scoop, c'mere." He said, and then whispered
something into Lance's ear.
	"Perfect," Lance said, running back into the mall.
	He came back not five minutes later to a group of confused girls
and a smiling Justin.
	"C'mon girls, it's picture time!" Justin said as Lance pulled out
one of those throw away cameras.
	"OhmiGod!" the girls all screamed, and two of them looked like they
were going to cry. Justin and Lance took turns taking shots of the girls
and the mother with them and they even had a passerby take a few of all of
them together.
	Finally after about 10 minutes the guys gave the girls and the
mother a kiss on the cheek as they handed the camera to them and went out
to the jeep.
	"Looks like were eating outside the mall, huh?" Justin said,
laughing.
	"Oh yeah, unless we want to do that for every 12 year old in the
mall!"  Lance replied, laughing just as hard.
	"Well, it was fun, did you see the look on the girl who almost
fainted?  I thought she was going to fully break down and just collapse
when you pulled out the camera. 20 dollars says those pictures are blown up
and posted all over those girls bedrooms by 5pm tonight!"
	"You know it, but yeah it was fun. Anyways, where to now?"
	"Well, there's lots of restaurants around here..?"
	"You really feel like.."
	"running into more people?" Justin finished.
	"Exactly."
	"Take out?" they both said at the same time and started laughing.
	"C'mon let's find a chinese place," Lance said, still laughing.

At the caf‚:
	"Sarah! Hi sweetie!" Jason said, giving his friend a hug as they
got to the table.
	"Hey stranger, I'm surprised you bothered showing up today! Who's
your friend?"
	"Very funny. I'm sorry, and I think I apologized already for
that. This is JC, and he's more than a friend." Jason said, looking at
Sarah.
	"Oh." Sarah said, looking at him closely for the first time.
	"Um, JC was it? Could you excuse us for a minute? Sarah said,
grabbing Jason's hand and leading him out onto the sidewalk "Go ahead and
order."
	"Sorry JC, she just wants to talk about you behind your back, we'll
be back in a sec." Jason said, laughing.
	JC sat down. `Huh, I should have figured I'd have to go through an
initiation process.' JC started to laugh as he looked through the menu.


Outside the caf‚:
	"More than a friend? Explain yourself! Is this one of your b ball
friends from yesterday and how come you didn't come home last night?"
	"What? Are you my mother? How did you know I wasn't home last
night?"
	"I dropped by this morning since you didn't call me last night to
find out if you were ok, you weren't in and I know you didn't sleep there
because the bed was made and you never bother before you have a
meeting. And don't call me your mother, you never mind any other time I
drop by in the morning, you're just usually home!"
	"Well, I wasn't home this time, but it isn't what you think. Yes I
met JC at the courts yesterday, along with his two friends, and after b
ball we hung out for a while, me and JC that is, the other guys went to get
their other friends, and then last night we all went out clubbing, and."
	"Wait, who's `we all'?"
	"Well JC, and his two friends I played b ball with and two of his
other friends. They're up here on business, which is their music. They're
in a band. Kinda successful I guess, the way JC talks. But anyways this
isn't important. So the whole time I'm thinking less and less about Alex
and I was starting to get these feelings towards JC when we were
together. Then after clubbing we went back to his hotel room to watch a
movie and I was so confused cuz I didn't know if I liked him or was
rebounding and I fell asleep.  So he carried me into his bed and let me
sleep there, then this morning when I found out he'd carried me to bed I
just knew, in some part of me that these feelings are real, so I went to
tell him, you know, so he didn't get mad that this gay guy was hitting on
him, but he stopped me first to tell me he was gay too!"
	"What?"
	"Yeah, and then I told him and he told me the reason he didn't tell
me he was gay was that he didn't want me thinking he was trying to push me
into a relationship so soon, I had told him about Alex, and so he knew he
was having feelings but thought I'd be pressured, so he was going to keep
them from me and try to be friends until I was ready, isn't that sweet?"
	"Whoa, slow down sweetheart, how long's he in town?"
	"Oh, well it's sad, he's only going to be here for a week and a
half!"
	"A week and a half! Geez Jason, are you outta your mind! The guy's
obviously just trying to get you into bed so he can have some fun before he
leaves town!"
	"How dare you say that to me? He has feelings for me! You should
see the way he treats me! Not even Alex was this nice to me!"
	"God Jason, Alex has your mind totally in the dark. He's being nice
to get you in bed, once he leaves town you'll be another, I dunno. Whatever
these `things' are to him. A notch in his belt if you will."
	Jason was starting to cry. "No, it's not true. It can't be. I, I
really feel things for him Sarah, why, why would he do that to me?"
	"Shh. Sweetie, calm down. I know you feel things, but even if it's
not rebounding from Alex you can't possibly start something with this guy,
you know deep down what he's doing, you just can't see it because you're
still upset. That's why you have me to watch out for you."
	"But, but."
	"Shh. I know, I know he seems sweet, but seriously, if he is this
famous, why is he just hanging out with someone he met on the streets?"
	"I.I.I mean, well, we just ran into eachother, it could, well, what
I mean is, um, it could be fate?"
	"Damnit Jason, don't you see what's going on here?"
	"No, you're wrong! He has real feelings for me. He wants us to
start something!"
	"Jason, I can't watch you just hurt yourself. Please listen to
me. You know you're still confused. I can see this all clearly. Don't do
something stupid. Let someone help you for once!"
	"NO, you're WRONG!" People were starting to look at them.
	"Fine, be that way, I can't stop you but I'm not going to support
you on this. I'm going back to work. When he dumps you to go back out on
tour or whatever it is he does, don't expect my sympathy!" Sarah said as
she started walking for her car.
	"Sarah! Sarah! Wait! Can't you just.?"
	"No Jason! You know I'm right. Give me a call when you can see it!"
and with that she slammed her door shut and drove off.
	Jason ran into the caf‚ crying.
	"Jason?! Jason!? What's wrong?!" JC said, getting up quickly and
grabbing onto Jason before he fell over.
	"How could you?! I mean, I thought.!!!" Jason started to choke up
and couldn't finish his sentence.
	"You thought what?! C'mon, let's get outta here!" JC said, pulling
Jason out of the caf‚ and to his car as people stared at them.
	"Ok, now what's wrong?" JC said, grabbing Jason's hand.
	"Don't touch me! Don't you ever touch me! I thought.I mean, I guess
I was stupid.I can't believe.." He started sobbing again.
	"Jason, damnit, say something understandable! What did she say to
you!!!??"
	"The truth, she told me the truth. Get out." Jason was suddenly
eerily calm.
	"What?!?" JC said, incredulously.
	"You heard me," his voice had dropped to almost a whisper, "please
just get out of my car now."
	"Jason? I thought?"
	"Please?" He was on the verge of breaking down again.
	"Jason I don't think you should be driving anywhere right now."
	"Just get out of my car!!" Jason screamed.
	"If, if that's what you want?" JC said, tears forming in his own
eyes.
	"YES!"
	"Ok then," JC said, slowly exiting the car. As soon as he had the
door shut Jason turned the car on and squealed out of the parking spot,
leaving JC there to sit and stare, as the tears started to flow.
	
To Be Continued.
	
Sorry everyone, I didn't want to end on such a tear-jerking moment but I
can't keep my eyes open much longer and I have to work tomorrow. I'll try
and get the next installment out shortly so you can see what happens, but
don't count on anything sooner than Thursday or Friday. As always, e mail
jas_stories@hotmail.com I love all the comments. Thanks again to Sarah, she
really is my truest friend, and she'd never do this to me in real life but
as I said, we can't have things go absolutely perfect now can we?
