Josh and Just 46

	Justin pulled up to the traffic light and let out a small sigh. He
looked away from the road in front of him and glanced at the neighborhood
he was in. He glanced at the bus stop where a man sat on the bench, with a
woman standing between his legs and leaning down to press small kisses on
his lips. Justin averted his eyes from yearning and looked at the other
side of the street where a he saw a couple walking together. The man held a
small child with one arm while his other hand was linked with a woman that
walked next to him. all three had smiles on their faces as they walked
through the slightly chilly weather.  He quickly looked away when he saw
the man lean in to kiss the woman. He looked back at the road in front of
him before glancing quickly to the multi-page contract that was sitting in
the front passengers seat.  He stared at the contract as if it were a chore
that he was going to have to face. He heard several honks from the cars
behind him and looked up to see the light was green. He stepped on the
accelerator and drove down the street. He continued to drive toward the
home he and his husband lived in. He turned into his gated community and
stopped at the stop sign. He looked at the park in front of him and saw two
men playing basketball. They dribbled around in long sleeve T-shirts and
shorts for a while before one of the men propped the ball between his hip
and his hand and bent over from exhaustion. He stood up straight and smiled
at the other man. The other man came closer and gently started to kiss the
first man. Justin smiled at the sight, not realizing he was stopped at the
stop sign. Quickly he saw the other man take the ball away from the first
man. Justin quickly heard another honk which snapped him out of his stare
of the two men.  He let out another sigh and made his way home.


	"Just! Come on, We have to go to the compound! We're going to be
late." JC said as he lugged his suitcase down the stairs. He placed it next
to Justin's bag which sitting in the foyer. Justin started to walk down the
stairs in the midst of putting a bandana around his shortly cut curls. He
had an emotionless face which instantly made JC frown.
	"Okay Just, stop! Tell me what's wrong." JC said as he stopped
Justin by standing in front of him.
	"I dunno." Justin said with a small shrug. He moved around JC and
walked into the living room where he picked up his jacket from the couch.
	"Justin! Come on, I'm your husband. Tell me. If you do, I'll buy
you some ice cream." JC said with a smile, enticing him as he would Steven
of Jonathan. He placed his hands on Justin's hips and continued to
smile. Justin's face slowly broke into a smile. He gently looked down, so
that the top of his forehead rested against JC's chest, while stared down
at the ground. JC reached down a bit and kissed the back of Justin's head.
	"Josh I dunno, it's just that. . . well I was driving. . . and I
kept seeing these. . . couples and stuff. .  . and I dunno. . .it just got
to me. . . and all of it just came at me all of a sudden. . . and I was
going to. . . but I dunno. . ." Justin said as he looked up at JC. JC
placed his hands on Justin's' cheek and placed a small kiss in the midst of
his rambling.
	"Justin, Baby, What is it?" JC asked softly. Justin looked into
JC's eyes and returned the look of love, with a look of worry.
	"I want to come out." Justin whispered.


	Lance laid on the couch while his face was turned toward the TV. He
let out a small yawn before checking his watch.
	"I hate coming here. Johnny is always too cheap to get
DirectTV. And I always end up getting the lumpy bed." Lance huffed as he
resumed staring at the TV.
	"Lance, you know Justin and JC haven't come yet. If you hurry you
can take their usual room."  Chris said. Lance smiled and began to get up
from the couch. The front door quickly opened and in an Justin.
	"I call the room that me and JC always sleep in!" Justin quickly
yelled. Lance's face of hope abruptly diminished to sadness. Justin
snickered at Lance before going back outside. Lance looked toward the
doorway and heard shuffling outside. He watched as two dogs came trotting
into the house. Leo and Ozzie quickly ran toward Lance and began to lick
his face with excitement.
	"Hey fellows! How are my two favorite dogs?" Lance asked the
two. Justin and JC walked in with Justin carrying baby Hunter in his arms.
	"Hey guys." Joey said coming from the kitchen with a can of soda in
his hands.
	"Hey Joey." JC said as he closed the door to the house.
	"So did you guys bring your contracts?" Chris asked from the
recliner. JC pulled two contracts out from the duffel bag he threw by the
door.
	"Cool." Chris said as he turned in his chair, so that he was
sleeping on his side.
	"Hey everyone, glad you guys are all here finally. Will you guys
have a seat around the room?" A man asked as he came down the stairs. Lance
got up and sat on the couch, making room for JC and Joey.  Justin fell into
the loveseat and continued to hold the small dog in his arms. Hunter began
to hop out of Justin's arms and started to walk on the couch. The man took
a seat on a empty chair blocking the TV.
	"Aw man!" Lance said before turning off the TV.
	"Okay guys. You all received your contracts and I want to know what
you want changed before you sign it." Johnny said as he looked at all the
guys. Everyone looked at each other before looking back at Johnny.
	"Well I guess I'll start." Lance said.
	"Well it says in here that we have to keep our relationships a
secret. And I'm sorry but I'm growing up and I don't think I can stay
single for the girls all my life. I think all of us should have the right
to be open with our relationships." Lance said clearly.
	"Well I guess you are right that you should have the right to be
open about your relationships, but there can only be so much. I'll change
the stipulation in the contract that says you cannot and you guys can come
out so to speak." Johnny said.
	"Speaking of coming out, you guys Justin and I have talked about
this and well we want to come out. But we're aren't going to do it unless
you guys disagree." JC said.
	"Absolutely not." Johnny said quickly.
	"Now wait up a minute Johnny. I think that they have a right to
come out. And we've already had two successful albums and the third is in
the making. I think that they should have the same rights we do and this
way we won't have to be as discreet anymore." Chris supported.
	"I totally think that they should come out, but looking from the
business aspect, we have to realize there might be a drop in sales because
of it. not everyone is as open as we are." Lance threw in. Justin nodded to
what Lance said.
	"You guys cannot do that. It is too soon." Johnny said.
	"Listen Johnny. Our contract just ended. And we're about to sign a
new one. Right now, you can't tell us what to do. We know you are a great
guy and we want to continue working with you, but if you can't give us what
we want then I know of at least three labels that are willing to take us
on." Joey said to Johnny seriously.
	"But you guys have to realize that your popularity might go down."
Johnny added.
	"Johnny you have to realize that we are willing to take that risk
for Justin and JC. I would give my right arm for them if I had to. And if
this makes them happy then I say we should support them." Chris said.
	"As much as I'm worried about the sales, Justin and JC come
first. So if they want to come out, then it's not for us to decide, it's
for us to be there for them." Lance quickly tossed in.
	"You know that Jive is not going to like this right? I don't even
know if they'll take you if you guys do this." Johnny said.
	"Well Johnny, just tell them what we told you. We can easily slide
over to Atlantic Records, or AM records, Or even Virgin." Joey said.
	"Okay you guys, I'll take back all of these and I'll tell them what
you want, I'll let you know by tomorrow. How about that? But until then I
want you guys to create the set list for the tour." Johnny said with a sigh
of defeat.
	"Okay Johnny. Thanks for being so understanding." Justin said
looking up at the man who just stood up.
	"No problem Justin. I'll be there for you, once I can battle with
the label. I'll try and back you guys up as much as I can okay?" Johnny
said with a smile.
	"Bye Johnny!" They all said as he was walking away.
	"Okay you guys. Now we have to ask you something else." JC said
once Johnny left the room.
	"Shoot." Lance said waiting for what JC and Justin have to say.
	"We want to come out on a show that has basically helped N Sync
from the start and we you guys to be with us." Justin said, while petting
Hunter who stayed on the couch away from Leo and Ozzie.
	"Well I know that MTV has helped us, specifically Dave Holmes."
Chris said petting Leo who was near him.
	"We always go on MTV. And if not that then Rosie. We need someone
who has been a fan and will support them no matter what." Joey said.
	"Well Rosie has supported us but I don't know. How about Oprah?"
Lance said.
	"Oprah sounds good. But we need something that teenagers watch." JC
said.
	"Which brings us back to Rosie!" Lance said with a huff.
	"How about The View?" Justin asked.
	"No to many women and not as many men." Joey disagreed.
	"So our choices are Oprah and Rosie." Lance brought up.
	"Let's take a vote." Justin said.
	"Justin it's up to you and JC, not us. We'll do whatever you guys
want." Chris said.
	"But you guys are involved so I think that we as a group should
decide." Justin replied. JC got up form the couch and made his way over to
Justin on the loveseat. He plopped down and was instantly bombarded by
Hunter jumping into his lap.
	"Okay well I say Oprah." Joey claimed.
	"Rosie." Chris said.
	"Oprah." Justin said.
	"Oprah." JC nodded.
	"Oprah it is." Lance said.
	"Once we get approved. Our next stop is The Oprah Winfrey Show." JC
said.


	"Hey Lovebirds! Get move your asses from in front of the fridge."
Joey said as he lightly pushed the two who were tenderly kissing each other
in the kitchen. Justin broke the kiss by laughing and looked at Joey.
	"You suck!" Justin said with a small laugh. A small yapping
followed Joey's presence in the room. Justin looked down and saw Busta,
Chris's dog waddling in.
	"This dog won't stop following me." Joey said as he moved behind
JC. Busta waddled behind JC as well.
	"Yeah well. Just stay off my man." Justin said as he pulled JC away
from them. The sound of a phone ringing entered the house. Justin looked
over to the kitchen phone and saw it blinking. He reached out and took the
phone before resting his back against the counter.
	"Hello?" Justin asked into the phone.
	"Hello Justin. I wanted to let you know that the label doesn't want
you to come out. BUT if you really want to. They will permit it. As long as
it is done in a dignified fashion." Johnny said into the phone.
	"Really Johnny!?!" Justin asked excitedly.
	"Yup. Congratulations Justin." Johnny said happily himself.
	"Thanks Johnny." Justin said.
	"Justin there is one problem. You have to do it before you sign
with Jive again. So the sooner you come out the sooner we'll be able to
start the touring and the new album." Johnny said.
	"But why. .  .?" Justin started to ask.
	"Well Justin there are a bunch of legal reasons and well I don't
want to bore you. Nothing bad, just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. But try to get
it done within a week. If that's possible." Johnny requested.
	"Okay thanks Johnny." Justin said. He placed the phone down onto
it's receiver and looked around.
	"Okay you guys. We better head to Chicago, because we have to be on
Oprah." Justin said.


	"Hello?" Justin asked into his cell phone. He kept the quick pace
out of the airport and toward the limousine that had been waiting for
them. He quickly adjusted the bag an his shoulder while straining to hear
the voice.
	"Hey Justin. Just called to see what was up." A voice said through
the phone.
	"Danny is that you?" Justin asked, covering his other ear with his
hand to hear.
	"Yeah. Are you busy, cause I can call back again." Danny said.
	"No, just hold on for a minute." Justin said. He quickly hopped
into the limousine, where all the noise stopped. The silence inside
provided the perfect spot for his conversation with Danny. He looked up as
JC got in after him and took a seat next to him. Lance came in with Joey
following, and finally Chris bringing up the end.
	"Okay sorry. Just was trying to get out of the airport." Justin
said into the phone once he was situated.
	"Where are you?" Danny asked.
	"Chicago. Josh and I are going on the Oprah show to come out."
Justin said into the phone.
	"NO WAY!?!?!" Danny yelled into the phone excitedly.
	"Yeah." Justin said with a laugh.
	"Well congratulations. Or good luck. Or something like that." Danny
said with happiness.
	"Thanks Danny. So how are you and Paul?" Justin asked.
	"We're fine. Still trying to remain secretive. I wish we could walk
down the street together. But someone is going to pinpoint him as Paul, and
well there goes his career." Danny said solemnly.
	"Well hopefully with the new president, a new law will come."
Justin sighed.
	"Hi Danny!" JC yelled, trying to be hear din the phone.
	"He says Hi." Justin said to JC with a smile.
	"So what is up for you guys?" Danny asked.
	"Well after Oprah. Back to the compound and basically start getting
ready for the tour. But before that we have to make a bunch of
appearances." Justin said with a low sigh.
	"Well hang in there Justin. Once you come out, you'll feel
alive. You'll feel free." Danny said.
	"I hope so." Justin replied.
	"You will. Well I better let you guys get going. I'll talk with you
later. I'll be sure to watch Oprah today." Danny promised.
	"Thanks Danny. Talk with you later." Justin said, before hanging up
his phone.
	"Justin, did you bring our wedding pictures?" JC asked with worry.
	"Yeah they are in my back pack. In the album." Justin confirmed.
	"Are you ready for this?" JC asked.
	"Ready as I'll ever be." Justin sighed.


	"Hello Everybody!! And welcome to The Oprah Winfrey Show. Today we
have the kings of Pop Music, N SYNC!!" Oprah said, trying to pump up the
crowd. The audience didn't need much help because they were off the
wall. Made up with mostly teenagers, the audience continued to roar.
	"Okay everyone. I had a chance to meet theses five young gentlemen
and well they are completely well mannered and polite. They are truly
adorable boys. But this isn't about the group and how well they are doing
on the charts. This show is a special one that the boys asked to have. They
came to me last week and requested that I help them with a little
situation. I couldn't turn them down. So without further adieux.  Here is N
SYNC!!!!" Oprah said trying to pump the crowd up once again. Chris stepped
out first, followed by Joey, then JC, then lance. And finally Justin. The
five of them walked onto the set and took a seat their seats. Their five
chairs was set up in two rows. Two chairs sat in the front. In the back
were three stools behind them. JC took a chair while Lance sat next to
him. Justin, Joey, and Chris took a seat on the stools.
	"Wait." Justin said. He got up and switched seats with Lance.
	"Much better." Justin said.
	"Okay well, I don't need to introduce these five young men, but for
all of you who don't know them. . ." Oprah led off.
	"This is Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance
Bass, and Joey Fatone. Together they have made two outstanding CD's and
sold out over four tours Worldwide and National." Oprah introduced.
	"Thank you guys for being here." Oprah said to them.
	"Thank you for having us Ms. Winfrey." Justin replied.
	"See! I told you they were all polite!" Oprah said in
happiness. The guys laugh amongst themselves at the flattery.
	"So, like I said before, we're not here to talk about your record
sales or how you've been in the news lately. We're here to help two of the
members. Justin and JC have something they wanted to share with the world."
Oprah said giving them the time they needed.
	"Well I guess what we wanted to do is to basically share something
private and personal with all our fans and the public in general." Justin
said looking at JC.
	"Well as of December 10th, 2000. Justin and I have been married. We
had been dating for a year and thought it was time, and so we got married."
JC said slowly and nervously.
	"So you two are married to each other?" Oprah tried to clarify to
the viewers. There was a small gasps in the audience, here and there.  But
the most of it was pure silence.
	"Yes. Both Justin and I are gay. We've been keeping it a secret for
some time and wanted to finally get it out in the open, so we don't have to
hide anymore." JC replied.
	"Now what made you two want to come out?" Oprah asked kindly.
	"Well I guess it was me who wanted to. Everywhere I'd go, I'd see
couples everywhere just showing small tokens of affection like holding
hands or something and I wanted that. I wanted to be able to hold my
husbands hand in public. I didn't have to worry about being on the tabloids
the next day." Justin said.
	"Now this will have a great affect on how the media and public view
N Sync. Have you guys taken that into consideration?" Oprah asked, the rest
of the guys more than she did Justin and JC.
	"Well we have talked about this. And we have talked about the way
we'll be seen and I think that it's okay. I know that two of my best
friends are going to be happy and that itself is worth more than all the
money we've received." Joey said.
	"And they are actually the most romantic and cute couple I've ever
encountered." Lance said, before looking over his shoulder at the screen
behind them. A picture of Justin and JC at their wedding was on the
screen. Both Justin and JC were facing each other while they held both
hands together. Each one flashing the camera their trademark smile. The
picture received a few coos from the audience.
	"And you can't help but be happy for them. I remember that I was a
little bit weirded out by them at first, which I didn't let them know. But
I knew for some time before that they would eventually become a couple."
Chris said.
	"So what do your family and friends have to say about you guys?"
Oprah asked the couple again.
	"They are all pretty much supportive. I've had a couple of
relatives who have totally disagreed but that's their choice of opinion. I
can't change that. Only they can. But we survived through that and it made
us stronger." JC said.
	"Well I guess I'll open it up to questions from the audience if you
don't mind." Oprah said, looking at them for permission. Justin nodded in
approval. Oprah walked up to a teenage girl who was sniffling a bit.
	"Hi. I'm Cindy. And I was just wondering why did you guys choose to
be gay? Didn't you know that it would disappoint your fans?" the girl
asked. Justin looked at JC. JC looked back at Justin before letting out a
small sigh.
	"Well we didn't choose to be gay. I don't think anyone that is gay,
has chosen to be gay. Being gay is a much harder lifestyle then that of an
average man or woman. I would not choose to be gay at all.  But in a way
I'm glad I am and that Justin is. Because I can't see my life without
Justin. And I think that if the fans cannot look past this and continue to
listen to our music, I don't think they were ever fans at all.  They might
have been fans for Joey, or Lance, or Chris, or Justin, or myself. But not
for N Sync as a whole." JC said bravely. The girl nodded in understanding
before sitting down. Oprah moved onto someone else. This time an older
woman who was a parent.
	"Hello, my name is Martha. As a parent I don't want my children to
be exposed to sexual content and stuff like that. I want to censor what my
children see. Have you thought about that?" the woman asked, not trying to
be too rude but to get across her point.
	"I'm sorry ma'am but being gay is not all about sex. Sex in a
homosexual relationship is the same as a heterosexual relationship. For us
to be together and be on stage does not mean that if your child goes to a
concert that he or she will be exposed to us doing improper acts. I know
that I probably won't even hold hands with JC on stage. And he would never
think about doing that either. Our private lives should never interfere
with our professional.: Justin said. The audience broke into spots of
applause, showing their support.
	"How does you two being together effect life on tour?" Oprah asked.
	"Well we basically just have to deal with them being all
lovey-dovey on the bus. And it's constant.  They never stop saying `I love
you" and what not." Chris said in mock annoyance.
	"The only thing that changes is that we know where to find them. If
I don't know where JC is. I'm pretty sure he'd be with Justin. And vice
versa." Lance laughed.
	"What do you two have to say to those that do not agree with your
marriage?" Oprah asked.
	"I guess I'd say that I don't see why they have a chance to be
happy and I can't. If they don't agree with me marrying Justin then they
are basically saying that I can't be happy. What if I said that I didn't
agree with men marrying women. Not many of your would care because you
can't change anything.  Well I can't change this so I don't think I'd
care." JC said.
	"I pretty much feel the same. And I also want to add that if they
can only focus on the fact that we're gay, then they have a lot more
thinking they have to do. Being gay is just one part of a person. It's not
everything. There may be a gay person serving you lunch, dry cleaning your
clothes. Hiring you.  Representing your state. There may be a gay person in
your own family. And so don't keep your minds closed. If you continue to
keep them closed, then you'll be no better than those people who took part
in slavery. Or those who enforced the holocaust. Just be open minded."
Justin requested.


	"Teenage girls everywhere are shocked to find out that two out of
five of the heartthrobs that make up N Sync are in fact joined together in
holy matrimony.  After today's serious confession on The Oprah Winfrey
Show, JC Chasez, and his husband Justin Timberlake were seen being ushered
away straight to the airport. When MTV news met up with them there. All
they had to say was "You've loved us before. Now why should you stop loving
us after finding out a little bit more of our personal life." After this
recent coming out. N Sync is scheduled to attend the American Music
Awards. As well as host several other award shows before their nationwide
tour which is set to start mid-February. For more details on this please
log on to MTV.com or stayed tuned for MTV News 1515 coming up next."

	"Parents around the nation are shocked to learn that two familiar
faces around their household are in fact joined in marriage. Teen
Heartthrobs Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez from the pop band N Sync
recently came out on the Oprah Winfrey Show. They have kept their wedlock a
secret for a month before finally announcing it to the public. When a
reporter asked bandmate Lance Bass of their union all he had to say was "I
support them in anyway possible, I would give anything for them to be
happy. And if coming out is what makes them happy, then I will continue to
support them."

	"Religious groups across the nation are appalled at the recent
confession of Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez's marriage. These strict
religious communities are disgusted that two people in the spotlight as
much as these two are, would choose to be married even though they know
children look up to them everyday. These groups have created boycotts on
all N Sync related merchandise and advise the nation to follow. When
speaking with a member of these groups, she had this to say: "I strongly
warn all parents to censor the amount of these devils that their children
watch. We cannot have homosexuals as role models."

	"And finally I would like to end the show with my support to Justin
Timberlake and JC Chasez of N Sync on their strength in coming out to the
world. It must have been hard for them and I would like to commend
them. When are we going to realize that it's not for us to judge someone on
who they fall in love with. I hope that the newlyweds are happy. And if
they are watching I just want to wish you two good luck and I want you to
know that you have support from me."

	JC let out a small sigh as he heard the phone ring for the eight
time in the last ten minutes he's been in the N Sync Compound. He switched
off the TV and got up off the couch. Leo and Ozzie quickly ran to JC's side
and started to follow him. Hunter ran behind the bigger dogs, striving to
keep up.
	"Hey boys why don't you go guys go outside to Justin and the rest
of the guys. Go on! Go outside!" JC said pointing to the sliding glass door
which led to the back yard where the pool was full of activity. Instantly
Leo and Ozzie ran for the backyard. Hunter looked back as they ran and
began to turn.
	"Oh no you don't! You're coming with me." JC said as he scooped up
the dog. Hunter wiggled around in JC's arm while trying to lick his face.
	"Hello?" JC asked as he picked up the phone.
	"Hey JC? Is that you? I just wanted to say I'm glad that you and
Justin came out." A voice came into the phone.
	"Hey Chrissy! So I take it you were watching TV today?" JC asked.
	"And was listening to the radio. And read the paper. And looked at
the magazines. . ." Christina carried on.
	"That bad huh?" JC asked.
	"Yeah well my little cousin called me up bawling because she said
that she can't have you anymore. I just basically told her to be happy for
you and still like him because now he shared an important part of him with
you." Christina said.
	"Huh?" JC asked in confusion.
	"Yeah she didn't understand it either." Christina let out a small
laugh.
	"Yeah well. If you're not busy. You can come down to the
compound. The guys are just hanging out. We have to start choreography
tomorrow, so we're having a chilling out day. Brit's gonna drop by." JC
said.
	"I'll try. I have a date later on. So we'll see." Christina added.
	"Ooo. A date. Do tell." JC said, intrigued.
	"Tell you later. Gotta go now. give my best to Justin and the
guys."  Christina concluded.
	"Okay. Bye Chrissy." JC said before hanging up. He placed the phone
down. Just to hear in ring again.
	"UgH!!! No more calls!" JC said as he walked out of the house into
the backyard.


	"Why did we go swimming? It's so freaking cold outside!" Joey said
as he came in shivering.
	"I call first dibs on the shower!" Lance yelled as he started to
run up the stairs to the bathroom.
	"I'll take the downstairs one." Chris said as he walked in the
direction of the bathroom. Joey pulled on a T-shirt before standing in
front of the TV to watch it. He sighed as he saw more pictures of Justin
and JC on the television.
	"When are they going to realize that it's not that big of a deal?"
Joey asked the TV.
	"Joey. Talking to the television can make you nothing but crazy."
JC said as he walked in from the backyard with Justin in tow.
	"You guys are the most popular people in the world." Joey said
continuing to keep his eyes on the TV.
	"Hey I know for a fact that we have a bunch of messages. Does
anyone want to check them or do I have to?" Justin asked.
	"You do." Joey and JC said quickly. Justin sighed and walked to the
answering machine.
	"Hey you guys. Just wanted to tell you that I'm at the airport and
I'll be there in maybe twenty minutes. Bye." Tyler said into the answering
machine.
	"Tyler is coming?" Justin asked hopeful.
	"Yeah, Mom wanted one of the family members to be here. I have no
clue why, but she did." JC shrugged.
	"Hey you guys. Just wanted to congratulate Justin and JC on what
they did. It took a lot of guts to do that. So congrats!" Danny said.
	"Oh hey we have to visit Danny And Paul when we are in Atlanta." JC
reminded Justin.
	"Hello guys. This is Johnny. Well I'm here at the building and well
I have a lot of requests for interviews with the group, specifically Justin
and JC. I have like six from MTV. Teen People, Times, Seventeen, a bunch of
gay magazines, but I think the Advocate is the biggest one so far. And
maybe Out magazine. Well just get a hold of me if you guys want to do them
now. Now get back to work! I don't pay you to stand around and listen to
your messages." Johnny said. Justin laughed at the end of the message and
walked back to where JC stood.
	"Do you want to go take a shower? I think Lance'll be out in a
sec. JC said caressing Justin's cheek with one hand.
	"Yeah sure." Justin agreed eagerly.


	Justin stepped out of the shower and pulled the towel off it's
rack. He began to slowly towel himself off, starting with his arms. As he
moved down his chiseled chest to his washboard abs, JC stepped out of the
shower. He leaned against the wall, not bothering to dry off, while
watching Justin dry himself.  He watched form behind as Justin slowly
started to bend over to dry his legs. JC arched an eyebrow and let out a
sigh as he watched hi breathtaking Justin rub the clothe all over his
body. JC stepped up behind Justin's body which was still drying his legs
and gently started to press his flaccid groin into Justin's ass.  Justin
popped up in surprise and looked over his shoulder at JC who was grinning
from ear to ear.
	"You horny old man!" Justin snickered as he turned toward the wall
of mirrors in front of him. he began to run one set of fingers through his
hair while the other searched the counter for his discarded towel.
	"Remember during our honeymoon, that one day when we didn't even
leave the bed the whole day. Let's reenact that." JC said as he wiggled his
eyebrows up and down.
	"I don't think so! I'm not going to risk being sore for
tomorrow. Seeing how we have to choreograph two songs by the end of the
day." Justin said as he wrapped the towel around his waist.
	"Ok." JC said disappointedly, looking at the ground.
	"Sorry babe. But I promise before we actually head out on tour. I'm
going to make sure that we're all sexed out." Justin said turning and
cupping JC's penis in his hand. JC gasped in surprise as Justin began to
squeeze gently. Both Justin and JC looked down at the engorged member.
	"You're such a tease. Now get out so I can take care of this." JC
said, referring to his erection.
	"What? All of a sudden you want privacy?" Justin asked.
	"No I just don't want you regretting the choice you made as I take
care of this." JC said as he ushered Justin to the door and gently closed
the door behind him. Justin turned and faced the door in shock.
	"YOU are the tease!!!" Justin yelled at the door with a smirk.


	"Tyler! I'm glad you're here. I'm always stuck with these old
fogies." Justin said as he closed the door behind his brother-on-law. Tyler
placed down his two small bags and gave Justin a hug.
	"Who you calling fogies? You baby!" Chris called from the living
room.
	"You guys are just jealous of my youth." Justin called back with a
small laugh.
	"Yeah whatever." Joey said as Justin and Tyler walked into the
room.
	"Hey Brat." JC said from his spot in the recliner. Justin took a
seat on his lap and smacked him in the abs.
	"Hey!" JC said in mock pain.
	"Hey what? Don't call him a brat." Justin claimed.
	"First you have Mom and Dad protecting you, now you have my
husband?" JC said to Tyler.
	"What can I say? I guess I'm the loved one." Tyler jested. JC stuck
out his tongue at Tyler like a child.
	"Hey Justin. JC. You guys got another call from Johnny. He says the
Advocate really wants an interview with you. They think you can `be
beneficial in making the awareness of homosexuality more known'." Lance
quoted as he came out of the kitchen with a piece of paper in his hands.
	"Ugh!" Justin exhaled before burying his face into JC's shoulder.
	"I think it would be cool. I mean Matt thinks it is cool. And he
was all mad at me cause I didn't tell him I knew. But I had to hide this
form him, even though he is my best friend." Tyler said.
	"It's just, just because I came out does not make me the type of
person that can be an advocate. I don't want the whole weight of the gay
world as well as all the pressure from N Sync and the media all on me. As
selfish as it may be, I don't want to teach those simple-minded people
about homosexuality." Justin said in frustration.
	"But you do know, now that you've come out, that you have most of
the gay population looking up to you guys." Lance said picking up a cup and
taking a sip of its contents.
	"But I don't want that. I want them to treat me as if I was a
normal human being. I don't want anyone to look at me funny, just because
I'm gay. I don't even want to be seen as gay. And by me plastering myself
on the billboards promoting my. . . gayness doesn't really deter the
spotlight from my personal life." Justin shot back.
	"Eloquently said, Blue." JC said, because giving him a peck on the
cheek.
	"Thanks Indy." Justin replied before leaning back against the
armrest, sprawling out on JC's lap.
	"But that's just it. There is going to be thousands of people out
there that will look at you funny because you are gay. And until they
realize that being gay isn't wrong, they will continue to look at you
funny." Tyler added.
	"You guys, I agree with Justin. I really don't want to be the
spokesperson for the gay world right now. Maybe a couple years later. But
not now." JC supported.
	"If they really don't want to do it. Than stop bothering them."
Chris said, annoyed with the argument.
	"But Chris. . ."Lance started.
	"No, Lance. Drop it. When you were against doing that interview for
that stupid magazine a while back. Did they pressure you into it or
question you? No they just let it go. Justin leave them alone. If they want
to then that's their choice." Chris said before focusing on the TV.
	"Wow Chris, I didn't know you cared so much." JC said thoughtfully.
	"I don't! I just want you guys to shut up so I can watch my
basketball game!" Chris said.


	"Hey you guys. Do you want to sneak out and go to a basketball game
tonight?" JC asked as he came down the stairs with Tyler following.
	"Where??" Joey asked.
	"Well it's high school basketball. Laura is basically cheerleading
for the Junior Varsity team and Justin is going to sneak out to watch
it. I'm going to go with him and I'm taking Tyler. And Jonathan is in town
so he'll be there. Who else wants to come?" JC asked.
	"I guess I can go. Chris is not feeling good though. He had a
headache so he was going to take a small nap." Lance informed.
	"Well I think I'll stay with Chris. So he won't be alone." Joey
said as he sat on the couch, doing nothing in particular.
	"Okay well we're going to try and sneak out now, cause the school
is basically in the suburbs." JC said.
	"Okay I'm ready!!" Justin said coming down the stairs with a blue
baseball hat, with his glasses on. He also wore a fake goatee that matched
his orange-brownish hair.
	"How did you grow that goatee so fast? It's only been ten minutes
since I last saw you." Lance said in surprise.
	"Does it look real?" Justin asked.
	"Yeah. Where'd you get that?" JC asked.
	"Well from the last video shoot, I was talking with the hairstylist
and she gave me this to walk around in public." Justin responded.
	"Wow. Well I better get disguised huh?" JC asked.
	"And me too!" Lance said as they both started to run up the stairs.



 	Justin walked into the high school gym with Tyler and looked around
in the bleachers. He looked over his shoulder and saw JC waiting for Lance
to finish paying his entrance fee, before looking in the stands again. He
watched where a bunch of cheerleaders dressed in white uniforms were
standing. He smiled at the recognition of his sister.
	"Did you spot them?" JC asked as he came up behind Justin.
	"No but there is Laura." Justin said pointing to the area where the
cheerleaders where getting ready for the game. JC looked over and saw Laura
pulling up her hair into a ponytail.
	"There they are." Lance said pointing to the stands behind where
Laura was. The four of them quickly crossed the empty basketball court and
walked to the stands which was filled in pockets of people, each pocket
being a family or a group of friends. Justin walked up to Laura and gave
her a hug from behind.
	"Bobby?" Laura asked as she spun around.
	"Justin!" Laura shrieked silently as she wrapped her arms around
her brother's neck.
	"Hey Princess. Who's Bobby?" Justin asked sternly.
	"Oh Justin, stop it!" Laura said while rolling her eyes.
	"Am I going to have to call the guys to beat him up?" Justin asked.
	"Justin stop!" Laura said as she faced him eye to eye. She reached
out and ran her fingers over Justin's goatee.
	"It's fake." Justin whispered.
	"Figured." Laura said. She bent down to her shoe, causing her skirt
to rise a bit.
	"Laura!" Justin said as he stood directly behind Laura, blocking
any view of anything.
	"Justin I'm wearing kick pants." Laura said as she stood up.
	"Hey Laura! So you do the crew team and the cheerleading team?
Anything else I should know about?" Lance asked as he brought her into a
half hug.
	"Nope, dance and crew are my faves right now so that's about it."
Laura said to Lance with a cheeky grin.
	"Hey Laura!" JC said scooping the girl into his arms.
	"Josh! Put me down!" Laura said as she kicked her legs.
	"How's my favorite sister-in-law?" JC asked placing a small kiss
one her cheek.
	"Your only sister-in-law." Laura said before punching him.
	"Tyler! What are you doing here?" Laura asked, before hugging him.
	"Just visiting." Tyler said with a smile.
	"Is you cute cousin Marco here?" Laura asked.
	"Nope sorry." Tyler said before letting out a small laugh.
	"Hey squad, let's do a run through of the routine really quick." A
girl said, obviously the head cheerleader.
	"Hey you guys, that's me. I have to guy. Bye!" Laura said before
running off to get into her position. The four guys' laughed before heading
up the bleachers toward Lynn and Paul Harliss who were sitting in the
stands with Jonathan. Jonathan sat fiddling with a Gameboy while Lynn and
Paul were having a conversation.
	"Hey Mom. Paul." Justin said as he gave his mom a hug.
	"Hey boys! We didn't think you were going to come." Lynn claimed,
standing to hug all three boys.
	"Hey guys!" Paul said, shaking all their hands.
	"Yeah well we sneaked out. Thank god the guards at the gate didn't
see us when we drove through that small dirt road." Lance said before
taking a seat.
	"What does that tell you about your security guards. They must not
be very good." Tyler laughed.
	"JC!" Jonathan said happily, looking up from his game. JC looked
around and caught a few stares from people looking at the boy.
	"Hey buddy boy. How's my favorite Munchkin?" JC asked as he took a
seat next to Jonathan.
	"Do you want to play Pokemon with me?" Jonathan asked as he moved
closer to JC, so JC could see. Jonathan started to play his game, this time
assuming that JC was watching. JC placed an arm around Jonathan, resting it
on the other side of the boy.
	"See that! That's a pokeball. My pokemon are in those!" Jonathan
said looking up to see if JC was looking.
	"Wow that's cool." JC said, watching the boy with a whimsical
look. Justin watched with a love struck smile as he watched JC interact
with his baby brother. Justin took a seat in front of his mother and leaned
back so his head rested on her knees.
	"Justin you aren't regretting you coming out are you?" Lynn asked
softly.
	"No Mom, I'm not. It's just a little stressful. I knew it was going
to be stressful but not this stressful. And I know it's going to get worst
once we're in the public. And every interview is going to be about us and
not the group. And I have no idea what the fans are going to think." Justin
said as he closed his eyes.
	"Well Sweety, all I can say is, you have JC by your side. Make good
use of him. You two need each other right now." Lynn said running her hands
over Justin's covered head.
	"Hey you guys. The cheerleaders are about to do their opening
routine." Lance said, noticing they all got into their positions.
	"Go Laura!!" JC yelled. Laura ducked her head in embarrassment and
turned bright red.
	"She's going to hate you after that." Justin said JC.
	"Yeah I know." JC laughed. Justin slid over next to JC and took his
hand with his own. They simply shared a small smile before they heard the
familiar sounds of "Here We Go." Lance, Justin, and JC watched as the
cheerleaders began to dance to their song. Justin smiled broadly watching
his sister dance to the music.
	"Hey they stole those moves from the music video!" Lance said
pointing to them when he saw the familiar dance moves.
	"Justin! Look at Laura!" Jonathan said pointing to his half sister.
	"I see Jonny." Justin said, reaching past JC to ruffle his baby
brother's hair.
	"Could you believe that Justin and JC came out? I thought they were
straight." A girl said in the stands nearby the guys.
	"I think it's their business. I like their music regardless and
they are still cute. I knew all along I was never going to be with them so
what's so different now?" another girl said.
	"I think it's disgusting. I mean my little sister listens to them
too and I don't want her to know what `gay' means." Another girl from the
group added.
	"I thought all the ugly guys were gay. I guess JC and Justin must
be an exception." A different girl added.
	"Hey my cousin's gay. And he's pretty cute. And so is his
boyfriend. They are still cool people. I think his boyfriend is really
awesome. He even took me to see the N Sync concert." A girl through in.
	"That means we're going to see a lot more gay people at the
concerts now huh?" A different girl added. JC quickly stopped listening and
cast a look at Justin. Justin's broad smile had diminished to an
emotionless look. JC squeezed Justin's hand, causing Justin to look at
JC. JC offered him a small smile which Justin nodded in return. Justin
looked down in his lap for a bit before looking up and continuing to watch
his sister dance.


	Laura quickly stuck her pompoms into her gym bag and slipped on a
pair of nylon pants under her skirt. She smiled when seeing a boy come over
to her. She waved in recognition and started to talk with him, while taking
out the colored ribbons in her hair. She undid her ponytail and ran her
fingers through her hair to smooth it out. She continued to talk with the
boy and she picked up her bag and started to walk. The boy took her bag and
walked with her.
	"Hey Laura, good job out there." JC said as he pulled her into a
hug.
	"Thanks Josh." Laura said, hugging him in return.
	"Yeah, excellent job out there. Some of those moves, we couldn't
even pull off." Lance through in.
	"That's my little sister." Justin said giving Laura a big hug.
	"Thanks guys." Laura said embarrassed.
	"So Laura who's your friend?" Tyler asked.
	"Tyler! Did Justin tell you to ask that?" Laura asked.
	"No I did not. But while we're on the subject. Who is this male
friend of yours?" Justin asked.
	"Guys this is Bobby." Laura said, not very enthusiastically.
	"Laura, you didn't even introduce us. I know you were raised better
than that." Justin said. Laura glared at him before rolling her eyes and
turning to Bobby.
	"Bobby this is my brother Justin. This is Josh. This is Tyler. And
this is Lance." Laura said pointing to each one.
	"And I'm Jonathan." Jonathan said shyly as he poked himself out
from behind JC's leg.
	"Hi guys. Nice to meet you." Bobby said while waving to hem all. He
looked at all of them fearfully as they kind of formed a semi-circle.
	"Are you Laura's boyfriend?" Jonathan asked. bobby looked at the
kid a little surprised before blushing.
	"No I'm not Jonathan. But I'll tell you a secret." Bobby
said. Jonathan moved forward so that Bobby could whisper something to
him. Jonathan nodded before running back to JC's leg.
	"What did you say?" Laura asked.
	"That's between me and Jonathan." Bobby said playfully.
	"No come on tell me." Laura said.
	"Nope. It's for Jonathan's ears only. Right Jonathan?" Bobby asked.
	"Right!" Jonathan nodded.
	"Well Laura I guess we'll leave you two to be. Mom and Paul are
waiting for you in the parking lot." JC said as he started to pull Justin
away from where he was keeping s tiff look at Bobby. Tyler and Lance
eventually started to follow. Lance scooped Jonathan up and carried him as
the four of them walked out.
	"So Josh is your brother?" Bobby asked.
	"Brother-in law. Justin is my brother." Laura said.
	"So you have a sister?" Bobby asked.
	"Haven't you been watching the news lately?" Laura asked.
	"no why?" Bobby asked.
	"Well. . . uhm. . . my brother is . . . married to Josh. They are
in N Sync together." Laura said.
	"You mean your brother is Justin Timberlake? I just thought that
you had the same last name."  Bobby said in shock.
	"No, that's my brother and Josh is JC." Laura said sheepishly.
	"Wow." Bobby said.
	"Yeah." Laura said not expecting what was going to happen next.
	"Do you want me to walk you out to your parent's car?" Bobby asked.
	"Yeah sure. Do you have a ride home?" Laura asked.
	"No I just have to call them and they'll come pick me up." Bobby
said in return.
	"I can give you a ride." Laura replied eagerly.
	"Okay." Bobby said. Together they started walking toward the car.


	Justin let out a yawn as he came out of the bathroom clad in only a
pair of pajama pants. He stopped when he saw Joey waiting in the hall.
	"Finally! I thought you fell asleep in there or something." Joey
said before rushing past Justin into the bathroom. Justin let out a small
snicker. before walking down the hall to the room he was staying in with
JC. Justin stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He saw JC
taking off his shirt and walking toward the bed in only a pair f of boxer
briefs. Justin pushed the silver wire framed glasses up his nose a bit
before heading to the bed. He hopped on top of the covers and picked up a
book form the side of the bed. He turned over on his stomach and started to
read silently to himself. JC took a seat on the bed and started to run his
finger tips up and down Justin's bare back all the while flipping through a
catalogue. JC went further and further down Justin's back with each cycle
of his gentle raking fingertips. JC soon forgot about his catalogue and
gazed at Justin with glazed eyes. Soon his fingertips began to slip under
the waist band of Justin's pajama bottoms. The tips began to gently caress
the firm flesh of Justin's buttocks. JC's lust drove him to cancel the
finger tips and begin to cup the cheeks that lay under his flesh. Justin
began to moan at the feeling of his husband's hands over his ass. Justin
pulled JC's hand out of his pants before turning over and leading JC's hand
to his growing bulge. JC slowly leaned in toward Justin and started to
gently kiss him with animal force. They titled head slightly as they kissed
each other passionately. Justin let out a gasp for air before continuing to
kiss his husband back. All the while JC had been massaging Justin's
engorging member. JC started to shift a little bit, slowly but surely
positioning him self closer to Justin.  Never once did he break the steamy
lip lock with his husband. JC through a leg over Justin's body and
continued to kiss him. JC removed his hands from Justin's crotch and placed
them both on the bed to stabilize himself. Justin allowed his hand to roam
over JC's taut back and shoulders, indulging in the feeling of his
husband's skin under his fingertips. Justin let his hands roam for a bit
before gently stopping under JC's arms. Justin kept the kissing as furious
as it had started, and slowly began to urge JC to come down on top of
him. JC moved down slowly until he was laying on top of Justin. JC placed
both of his hands on either side of Justin's face and led the kiss into a
reverie. Justin started to moan as their eager hips started to rub together
in a slow and steady, erotic dance.
	"Josh. . ." Justin panted as he hesitantly pulled away.
	"Mmmm?" JC asked as he gave up kissing Justin's lip and started to
knead the skin on Justin's neck with his lips.
	"Josh. . . mmmm. . . Josh. . . ohhhh. . . we can't. . . ugh. . . we
have. . .ugh. . . to dance. . ." Justin said as he fell victim to JC's
sensual lips.
	"Shhhh." JC said as he looked up and placed a finger on Justin's
lips. Justin closed his eyes on ecstasy to the feeling of JC rocking his
hips into his own. JC began to knead the taut flesh of Justin's flesh with
his moist lips. Justin reveled in the feeling of JC suckling his nipple. JC
flicked his tongue over the nub causing a wave of pleasure in
Justin. Justin arched his back with every wave, pressing his tense groin
into JC's even more.
	"Ohhh." Justin moaned. JC stopped his licking and started to press
moist kisses on Justin's chest.  He moved down the crevice between Justin's
pectorals slowly making his way to Justin's flat belly. It was then that JC
started to pull down on Justin's pants. Justin enjoyed the feeling of his
husband's skin upon him. He shuddered a bit as the slightly chilly air
surrounded his aching penis. His fingers clutched the bed as soon as he
felt the cold air turn into a moist wet feeling. He let out a resonating
moan as JC's mouth encircled the head of his tool. JC suckled the head
carefully, pushing each button perfectly. As if to tease Justin, JC started
to move only a centimeter down his erect phallus. Justin was sent through
wave after wave of pleasure, letting a moan come out with each wave. JC ran
his lips up and down Justin's penis expertly, giving him satisfaction that
Justin is feeling pure ecstasy. Justin clutched the bed with one hand while
the other started to run through JC's wavy hair. He felt JC's nose bury
into the fine hairs that grew about the base of his shaft. Justin felt his
husband's hands run up and down Justin's sculpted belly and legs.  Justin
let out a half hiss half moan as JC started to move a little faster on his
penis. JC kept a rhythm up for a while before sporadically going up and
down the shaft keeping Justin in full suspense of what was going to
come. JC's incessant bobbing started to build up Justin to an ultimate wave
of pleasure that sent him in full moan. As the waves rolled through his
body he felt his seed shoot out of his manhood and into JC's awaiting
mouth. Justin shuddered from the last wave and panted in ecstasy. JC soon
emerged next to him with a broad smile.
	"I love you." JC whispered.
	"I love you more." Justin whispered back before rolling over and
curling up to JC's chest. JC moved a piece of hair out of Justin's face and
continued to look down at Justin who was gently doodling shapes onto his
chest. Without a word JC reached over and turned off the lamp before
reaching down and pulling a quilt over Justin and himself. The two curled
up together and laid still in the darkness. JC stayed awake and watched as
Justin slowly fell into slumber. He gently leaned down and placed a small
kiss on Justin's forehead before laying back and letting slumber take over
him as well.
