Don't Give Up
Chapter 2

"Thank you Phoenix!  Good night!"

The guys ran off-stage exhausted for the awesome performance they had just
given.  Both groups had given three encores each and done two joint song,
"Everyone" and "It's Gonna be Me."  There you going to be flying to LA in
two hours to start their concert series there.  The concert in Charleston
had done very will in sales and performance.  Record sales in the south
were also up.  Jive had projections for the west and they were looking very
good.  As a result, the tour was already being considered a huge success.

Kevin was the first one in the shower.  He had been rehearsing, performing,
and acting as go-between for management for both groups.  Lance had of
course been carrying a heavy load too, but the Firm, BSB's management, and
even Johnny, *NSYNC's, trusted Kevin a bit more considering how much was
riding on this tour.  The heavier than normal workload was beginning to
take its toll on Kevin.

He stepped into the shower and started to wash away the grime of the
performance and the workday.  The heated water massaged his aching muscles
and he started to let this mind wander a bit.  He hadn't seen Kristen in
nearly three weeks.  Just thinking about his wife made his dick hard.  They
were still in the newlywed phase of their marriage, and as a result, they
made love every second of the every day they were together.

Kevin started to stroke his dick.  The feel of his hand over his cockhead
made his mind go crazy.  "I'm gonna shoot in no time," he thought to
himself.  He used his left hand to pinch his nipples and then grabbed his
balls to put off cumming.

His moans started getting louder.  He was so caught up in what he was doing
he failed to notice the draft in the room.  When he came, he pumped five
shots of semen down the drain.  He rinsed off one final time and turned off
the water.

He pulled back the curtain to be greeted by four Cheshire cat smiles.  AJ,
Nick, Joey, and Justin stood on the other side of the open door, barely
able to contain their laughter.  Kevin stood there with his mouth open,
stark naked for about ten seconds.  Then he felt the draft and practically
fell on the floor grabbing for his towel, which Nick had removed.  Then the
four practical jokers bent over laughing as Kevin grabbed at the shower
curtain to attempt to cover himself.

"AJ!  Nick!  If I don't get a towel right now, I am going to hold both your
heads under the faucet, wait until you beg for mercy, and then hold them
under longer!"

Justin managed to collect himself long enough to take Kevin's towel off the
couch it had been thrown on and hand it to the older man.

"Just how long have you little ass holes been watching!"

"Ever since you turned the water on," Nick said, tears starting to run down
his face.

"You are all going to pay for this!" Kevin bellowed.

"Relax Kev," AJ said.  " I told you payback was going to be a bitch.  Now
you have a choice.  You can either stay mad and try to get back at us, or
you can join out little band of vigilantes and help us finish off Howie and
Brian."

Kevin's breathing started to relax as his anger gave way to glee.
Practical joking would not only take his mind off his work, it would be a
way to channel some of his frustration and prevent a similar experience
later.  He finished wrapping the towel over himself and stepped out of the
shower stall.

"I'm in.  Watching Brian and Howie suffer will be well worth this
humiliation," Kevin said.

The five conspirators laughed and went on with what they had been doing.




An hour and a half later, the bands boarded their private jet for LA.
Lance was forward to a quick nap before landing.  He had already called
ahead to confirm the hotel reservations, and would call again to make sure
the rooms were ready.  He and Kevin each had their own room, one of the
perks that came with the extra workload.  On paper, each Backstreet Boy was
sharing a room with an *NSYNCer.  Of course in reality, it wasn't like
that.  Nick and Justin were booked together, as were Joey and AJ.  However,
they had a connecting room and thus the couples could move back and forth
without being seen and not arouse the suspicion of the hotel staff.  JC and
Brian were bunkies, as were Howie and Chris.  Chris had bitched a little to
Lance about sharing with a BSB, but Howie's general good nature had won him
over.  They were palling around all the time now.

Brian was quite happy with his room assignment.  It had been quite by
accident since Nick was the only one that he had told about JC.  The last
few days had been wonderful for Brian.  He and JC had gotten to know each
other better.  They had gone to dinner a couple of times and had long
conversations.  Actually, Brian had listened to JC talk about his life and
dreams.  JC was a wealth of information on himself and never seemed to stop
talking.  Brian could never seem to get a word in edgewise, only jumping in
when JC said something that reminded Brian of a similar experience in his
own life.  JC would smile or give a little laugh or nod at the story and
continue on with what he was talking about.

Once they got on the plane, Brian made a point of sitting by Nick.  They
hadn't really talked since the day of the water incident and Brian was
dying to tell Nick all about his encounter with JC.  He and Nick huddled in
a corner and Brian told him the whole story of what happened that day and
what had happened since then.

"So the whole conversation you had beforehand was really JC talking about
his life?"

"Yeah."

"And he didn't ask you anything?"

"Except to repeat what I had said that reminded him of his dream."

"Brian, what have you shared with him?"

"What do you mean?"

"What have you told JC about you?"

Brian started to think about it.  "We never really talk about me.  JC just
seems to have something to say about every subject in the world and it
fascinates me."

Nick looked at his best friend.  He didn't have a good feeling about this.
Brian had never been in a serious relationship before.  Leighanne was
different.  Brian had married her to stop the rumors and the press, and
Leighanne had married him for something to give her career a jumpstart.
Theirs was really more of a pal type thing.  What Brian seemed to be
talking about was a serious, boyfriend/lover relationship.

"Brian," Nick asked, "what do you want to come from this?  Are you just
looking to get laid?"

"No.  I have been a virgin for twenty-five years and can stay one for
longer.  Sex is not even in my equation right now.  JC is just someone I
want to get to know and see where it goes."

"Have you done anymore than frottage?"

"That's a bit personal don't you think Frick?"  Brian wondered where Nick
was going with this.

"Bri, I wouldn't normally ask that question, but from what you have told
me, JC talks, you listen interjecting every few minutes, and then make out.
Is that a fair assumption?"

Brian saw where Nick was going.  "You don't want me dating JC do you!" he
yelled.

"Keep your voice down.  I didn't say that.  I just think you haven't
thought this through fully.  You and JC may not want the same things.  When
AJ and I started going out, we first had to determine that we both had the
same goals for the relationship.  We also took it slow.  We didn't even
kiss until our third date, or third official date I should say.  We had
been going out six months before we say each other naked and almost a year
before we made love.  What I am asking you is what do you want from JC and
what does JC want from you?"

Brian thought carefully before answering.  After a few minutes he finally
spoke up.  "I want to date JC.  I want to get to know him better and I
think I am starting to fall in love with him."

"Ok," said Nick.  "What does JC want?"

"The same I'm sure."

"Well, Brian, as your friend I will support you no matter what you do.  But
I am going on record right now as saying that I don't think any good will
come from this.  I think you are setting yourself up for a big
disappointment.  I hope to God I'm wrong.  Just promise me you'll be
careful.  Please?

"I promise.  But you really don't have anything to worry about Nicky.  I
feel sure JC is as smitten as I am."

The friends hugged and went back to their seats.

"Is everything alright with Brian?" AJ asked after giving Nick a quick
peck.

"For the moment yes," Nick sighed, "but I think he's setting himself up for
a bad time.  I just hope he lands on his feet."

"He will, he always does.  You, Kevin, Howie, and I will all be there for
him no matter what happens.  So will Leighanne.  No one seems to be able to
get through to him like her anyway."

Nick smiled.  He kissed AJ on the cheek and leaned his head on his
shoulder.  They would be in LA soon.  Nick thought to himself.  He decided
that when they had gotten to LA, he was going to have a talk with Justin.
No one on this tour knew JC better than Justin.  He was sure he was being
silly.  Brian was a big boy and could take care of himself.  However, he
couldn't shake the feeling that something was just not right with the way
things were between JC and Brian.  First of all, there had been the fact
that JC had not even made a blip on Nick's gaydar.  Nick's and AJ's gaydars
were nearly infallible.  He hadn't missed a person yet.  But there was a
first time for everything.  Nick decided to think about it later and
started massaging AJ's thigh.

"Honey," AJ said quietly, "I love what you're thinking, but we're going to
land in a few minutes.  Besides, we joined the mile-high club last tour."

Nick smiled.  "Just prepping you for coming attractions.  Besides, I can't
keep my hands off you."

AJ hugged Nick tighter and smiled to himself as the plane went further into
the night.




When Brian got back to his seat beside JC, JC was listening to his Coldplay
CD.  Brian picked up the magazine he had been reading and looked at JC.

After about five minutes or so, JC looked up at Brian.  "Hey, when did you
get back?"

"Just a little while ago.  We're almost in LA now.  Can we talk for a sec?"

"Sure, just let me put my CD up."  JC pulled out his CD holder and put the
CD in the proper slot.  Then he turned back to Brian.  "What's up?"

"I was just wondering.  What do you want out of this?"

"Out of what?"

"This.  Us.  What are you looking for right now?"

JC stopped for a second.  He had been having too much fun messing around
with Brian to think about anything else.  He thought that Brian had been
too.  He wasn't really looking for a relationship right now, but Brian
evidently was.  He decided that the best course of action was to be vague.

"I just want to get to know you better and see where it goes from there,"
AJ said.

"Cool, I was hoping you would say that.  I've really enjoyed these past few
days.  You fascinate me in so many ways.  I want to know you better.  I
think we could be very good friends."  Brian leaned over and hugged JC.

"Yeah, sure.  Whatever man.  Hey did I tell you about my first audition for
MMC?"

"No," Brian said letting up on the hug.

"Well, I was so nervous that. . ."

JC talked about a variety of subjects for the rest of the flight.  He
decided that Brian must be satisfied with his answer and that things could
continue the way they were.

Brian decided that he was definitely falling for JC.





"There, that should prove to you that I am the best at everything in the
world!"  Justin jumped up triumphantly having just killed Nick at his most
recent video game purchase.

"Well I would have found out for myself another way if we had dated longer,
but you wanted something different."  Nick said looking at Justin glumly,
but also unable to hide the smile on his face.

"You know that it was the best decision we could have made to be friend
instead of lovers.  Besides, if we were still together, I wouldn't be with
Joey and you wouldn't be with AJ."

"He is the best t thing that ever happened to me.  On the rare occasions I
wake up and AJ isn't beside me, I panic a little bit inside, then he comes
out of the bathroom, or I remember he took a quick trip home to visit his
family and I calm down.  My whole world revolves around him.  What makes it
even better is that he feels the same about me."

"I know exactly how you feel.  I don't know how I could be the person I am
without Joey in my life.  I hate to say that he completes me, only because
having to depend on another person for happiness is scary.  I was happy
before we started dating, but I am even happier now.  I can't imagine being
with anyone else ever.  These past two years have been wonderful.  And he
feels the same way."

"That's what I want Brian to find," Nick said.  "He has been so lonely.  He
and I don't hang out nearly as much as we use to.  I feel bad about that,
but Brian has told me over and over that he is very happy for AJ and me.
He just wants something similar."

"How are he and JC doing?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about Justin," Nick said seriously.
"Brian and I had a long talk on the plane ride the other night.  I think
Brian is expecting more than JC is willing to give right now.  Has JC said
anything to you about it?"

Justin huffed.  "Josh hardly speaks to me anymore.  I love him as my best
friend, but for the past year he has been so stuck on himself.  When I do
hang out with him, he never even asks what's going on in my life.  He is
always talking about his music, his solo CD that he wants to put out.  He
cussed me and the rest of the group out one night saying that we are
holding him back.  We've talked about kicking him out, but it just isn't
possible right now.  His contract isn't up for two more years and it's
pretty iron clad."

"Is he anything like he used to be?  When we made that first joint tour, he
was so cool.  He hung out with us, played games, cut fool.  He just seemed
like one of the guys.  What happened?"

"Occasionally the old Josh comes out.  He'll joke around and just be
himself.  As far as what happened to change him, it seems to have started
just before he broke up with Britney.  They dated for about three months.
Then Britney called me one night crying.  She said that Josh had just
called her and ended it over the phone.  I told her to tell me where she
was and where she was going and I would meet her and talk to her in person.
Then I called Josh.  He just said he was tired of Britney's neediness,
which made me laugh, and that he wanted someone that was more interested in
him than her latest Macy's purchase.  That was all I got out of him.  Ever
since he's been how he is now.

"When I got Britney's side of the story, she said there were no signs at
all that he was no longer interested.  He called her when they were in
different cities, went to her concerts when he could get away and was close
by, and spent as much time with her as possible.  When I told her what he
had said, she got a little angry.  I believe her exact words were, 'He's
more interested in what I buy than I am.  In fact he picked out my entire
ensemble for the Grammy's last year.'  I was getting two different stories,
which I expected.  But now that I have watched JC over the last year or so,
I really do think that Britney was right.  Something has changed in him,
and not for the better."

"I was afraid of that," Nick sighed.  "I think Brian is setting himself up
for a big fall.  He told me that he is falling for Josh."

"Well, hopefully we'll all be wrong and it will work out.  Josh needs
someone to straighten him out.  What surprises me more than anything is
that Josh isn't gay."

Nick blinked and looked at his friend with a look of surprise.  "I didn't
think so.  I didn't even get a blip on my gaydar, and I have never, NEVER
been wrong."

"I hope for Brian's sake that this isn't just an experiment for JC."

"For his and Brian's sake I hope so too.  But I will tell you one thing
Justin.  If JC breaks Brian's heart, I will not be responsible for what I
do."

"Don't worry.  He is my friend and band mate, but he can also be a real
ass.  If he does hurt Brian, there won't be much left of him for you to
hurt."

Just then Joey walked in.  "Hey guys.  What's up?"

"Nuttin' honey!" Justin said leaping off the floor into Joey's arms.

The two lovers started kissing, and soon got pretty hot and heavy.  It was
as if Nick wasn't in the room.  They continued for a few minutes, both of
them showing off their arousals, until they heard Nick clearing his throat
for the fifth time.

"Oops, sorry Nick," Joey said pushing Justin off of him for just a second.
"We kinda forgot you were here."

"That's ok, I was just leaving.  I'll see you all later."

Nick stood up and walked through the connecting door to his room and locked
it behind him.  As soon as the door closed, Joey and Justin started kissing
again.  They hadn't had a moment alone in the last few days except after
the concerts when they came back to the hotel.  Of course by then they were
so tired, they weren't up for more than a little necking before falling
asleep.  However, since they had the afternoon off, Joey had other plans.

He picked Justin up and laid him down on the bed.  He lay down beside his
lover and kissed him on the mouth again.  He traced Justin's lips with his
tongue and then pushed past them.  Justin's tongue met Joey's with as much
force and the two were completely lost in feeling of each other.

Joey started to pull Justin's shirt out of his shorts.  Justin began to
unbutton Joey's shirt, but Joey stopped him.  "Let me have some fun first."

Justin let go and Joey continued with what he was doing.  He pulled
Justin's shirt over his head, and started to kiss all down his chest.  He
put Justin's arms over his head and nuzzled his armpits for a minute.  Then
he turned his attention to Justin's nipples.  He knew that these tiny
little bits of flesh would drive Justin crazy.  Joey took the left nipple
in his mouth and pinched the right one with his hand.  Justin moaned.  Joey
was just so damn good in bed.  Joey switched to the other nipple and sucked
on it for a minute.  Bye now Justin's tits were erect and sending all kinds
of signals down to his crotch.  Joey's hand started to slide up the leg of
Justin's shorts, slowly massaging the muscular thigh.  Just as he was about
to barely touch the head of Justin's cock, he pulled it out and started to
massage his chest again.

Joey smiled to himself as he looked down on his young lover.  He loved
Justin so much and wanted to make him happy.  He began to unbutton his
shirt, but Justin wasn't waiting.  Joey had stirred him into so much of a
frenzy that he needed Joey naked now and he wasn't about to wait for
buttons.  He reached up and ripped the shirt off Joey's back and then slid
his hand down Joey's jeans to rub his ass.  Joey started fiddling with the
fly of Justin's shorts and pushed them down.  Justin kicked off his pants,
kneeling in front of his lover totally nude, his hard six cut inches
dripping with precum.  Joey's pants were off very soon after that.  Justin
kissed Joey quickly on the lips and pushed him back down on the bed.

Justin quickly made his way down Joey's beautiful chest, following the
hairy path to his ultimate goal.  He stopped briefly at Joey's navel, know
that Joey loved to have him lick there. Then he felt something bump his
chin.  There stood Joey's best feature.  Joey had 9 inches of thick, uncut,
Italian cock, and Justin loved to suck on it.  He decided to tease Joey a
little bit.  He stuck his tongue out and just barely touched right under
the head of the dick.  Joey's penis seemed to just spurt out precum like a
geyser.  With his hand, Justin pulled back the foreskin and licked up all
of the precum he could find.  Then he kissed the head and tongued the
opening.  Hearing Joey's groaning, Justin continued with what he was doing.
Then he let off for a second and paid some attention to the big nuts that
hung below.  Joey's balls were extremely sensitive and Justin knew it.  He
sucked one first, then the other, and then both.  Joey started kicking the
bed and tearing at the sheets.  He knew he would come if Justin didn't stop
soon.  Then he felt Justin move again.

Justin opened his mouth wide and started to go down on the mammoth meat
between Joey's legs.  As Justin slowly took the cock in his mouth, Joey's
eyes rolled back in his head.  Justin was the best cocksucker in the world
as far as Joey was concerned. Justin treated his dick like it was fine
china, very delicately only touching it when necessary, to start off with.
Then he treated it like a rag doll and tried to suck the very life out of
it.  Joey was always exhausted after one of Justin's blowjobs.  He felt his
nuts begin to pull closer to his cock.  He knew that if he continued to let
Justin deep throat him, he would come long before he wanted to.

He pulled Justin off his cock before he came and kissed the young man.
Justin kissed back and started to rub his dick against Joey's.  Joey's hand
slid down Justin's back to the round perfect ass below it.  He pulled the
cheeks apart and started to search for the tight little hole that he knew
was waiting for him.  Justin moaned as he continued to kiss Joey.  Joey's
index finger found Justin's asshole and started to massage it slowly.  Then
when Justin had relaxed, he pushed the finger in slowly.  He found the
prostate and started to push on it, bringing Justin to the edge.

Justin broke the passionate kiss.  "Joey, please make love to me.  I want
you inside me right now!"

Joey smiled.  He kissed Justin again and rolled him over onto the other
side of the bed.  He raised his lover's feet in the air and parted his
asscheeks again.  He reinserted his index finger and added another.  Justin
was very hot and very tight.  They had not made love in nearly three weeks
and it was showing.  Joey removed his fingers and pressed his lips to the
rosebud.  He lapped with his tongue, relaxing the muscles, and lubing
Justin for his entrance.  He turned around in a sixty-nine position so that
Justin could get his cock nice and wet.

After a few minutes of rimming, Justin was ready.  Joey turned back around
and put Justin's legs on his shoulders.  He leaned down and looked Justin
right in the eyes.  His cock pressed up against the opening, pushing it's
way in.  Justin pushed himself onto it, trying very hard to make it fit.
Suddenly, Joey was in and slammed his thighs into Justin hard.  Justin bit
his lip to stop thinking about the pain.  Joey was a big guy and he usually
took him easily, but it had been awhile.  Joey looked at Justin with
concern in his eyes.

"Just stay there for a moment and let me get used to it," Justin said, the
pain already subsiding.

Joey nodded and contented himself with kissing his beloved all over his
face.  When he looked up, Justin nodded.  Joey began to slowly withdraw and
then slowly re-enter.  The feel of Justin's ass sliding along his dick was
indescribable.  It was tight, hot, smooth, and most of all just wonderful.
Justin also knew how to use his ass.  Joey's first boyfriend had been a
dead fuck, but Justin was not.  He seemed to know the exact right moment to
squeeze his ass and when to let go.

Pretty soon the tempo between the two guys had sped up.  Joey was slamming
into Justin's ass very fast and Justin and hooked his feet around Joey's
ass.  Joey pushed all the way in and groaned loudly.  Justin felt the dick
inside him spasming, spitting cum up inside him.  It was too much.  Justin
came.  Three shots hit the wall behind him.  A couple landed on his face
and chest, and the rest drizzled onto his stomach.  Joey pulled out of
Justin's ass and lay down on top of him.  Justin's cum coated both of their
stomachs and Justin felt the warm flow of semen from his ass.

Joey kissed his boyfriend lightly on the lips and then lay down beside him.
The two men held on to each other and drifted off to sleep.  They had four
hours before they had to be at the venue and needed the rest badly.




While Joey and Justin were making up for lost time, Brian and JC were in
their hotel room making out.  Brian loved the way JC kissed him.  It was as
if they had been doing it for years and JC knew exactly which buttons to
push.  Brian would close his eyes and just lose himself in the emotions JC
stirred up within him.  All he wanted to do was kiss.

JC had other things in mind.  He had liked what they had done on the bus
that first day, but they hadn't done more than kiss since.  Since his
conversation with Brian on the plane, JC had figured out that Brian wanted
more than just a physical fun thing.  However, JC did not.  He could not
imagine himself with a guy for any length of time.  He was physically
attracted to Brian but that was all.  The only reason he said nothing to
Brian was that he knew Brian wanted more and JC would lose the physical
relationship if he revealed his true feelings.  Therefore he kept his
thoughts to himself.

The boys continued necking for a few more minutes.  Brian was beginning to
explore JC's earlobe when he felt something on another part of his body.
JC was rubbing Brian's crotch through the fabric of his khakis.  Since they
had done frottage already, Brian didn't think much of it.  He started to
work his way down JC's neck when he felt his zipper being pulled down.

"Hey!  What are you doing!" Brian yelled, breaking away from JC.

"You don't have to shout.  I assumed that since you had seen mine, I could
see yours."

"Did you even think to ask me first?"

"Brian, I'm sorry.  I won't ever do anything like that again.  I just
assumed that we had reached the point where mutual masturbation was cool.
I sincerely apologize."

"Well, it's ok.  Just ask me next time.  I don't want us to go too fast and
ruin our relationship.  Do you understand what I'm saying?"

JC nodded, hoping that would be sufficient.  Brian smiled and seemed to be
content with the response.  JC breathed a silent sigh of relief as Brian
laid his head on his chest.  Both of them were thinking that they would use
any means possible to keep the other.  However, both people had just one
person in mind that they truly cared about.


That's the end of chapter two.  It's a little bit longer than I meant to
make it.  The next installment should be out within a couple of weeks.
