Subject: Lance-and-Justins-love  Chapter 5 Boy-Bands

Before I begin I would like to take the time to state the ever so evil
disclaimer. I hate em, you hate em, but I gotta put it in. To tell you the
truth you prolly won't even read it. But if you are reading this then you
should be advised that if you are not of legal age or it isent allowed in
your state ( I still can't believe that those Americans outlawed being gay)
then you shouldent be reading this. If for some reason you are offended by
homosexual love, then by all means please go somewhere else where I don't
hae to deal with you. As far as I know none of the people I mention in this
story are gay. I wish they were, but thats between me and my twisted brain.
Now on with the story.


Lance and Justins Love V

	Note: This takes place Chritmas Eve a few days following the events
of the last chapter.

	The entire gang sat around the fire place in the den of Justin's
home.  Chris and Joey were on the couch, being strangly quiet.  Josh was
sitting in the love seat sort of spread out. Lance and Justin were sitting
snuggled up tightly together in the lazy-boy chair stealing kisses when
they thought that no one was looking.

	"Would you two please stop doing that!" Said Josh with a hint of
envy in his voice. Josh had not had a steady girlfriend in close to eight
months. He was feeling a bit lonely, having all his closet friends involved
with someone diddent make it any easier on him. Chris had Dani, Joey was
with kelly and expecting a child soon. Lance and Justin were obviously
happy with each other. He felt no spite towards his friends, just envy.

	"Sorry J." Justin said with a bit of a frown. Justin knew his best
friend was feeling a bit on the lonely side these days. He wished that he
could help but there was really nothing he could do for his friend except
being there for him.

	Feeling sorry that he was depriving Justin of his lover he
immeadiatly tried to set things right. "No, I'm sorry. Please continue. Its
Christmas Eve and its a special time for lovers. I just wish I had someone
to spend it with."

	"You have us Josh." Said lance as he again put his arm around
Justin.

	"Thats not the same Lance. You have Justin. Justin has you. Chris
has Dani.  And Joey has Kelly. I'm all alone."

	Feeling their hearts break at hearing the confession of their
friend, Chris and Joey spoke up. "You know you are welcome at our places
anytime right?  And you just give the word and we'll call a few friends
over and se if any magic happens between you guys."

	"Thanks, I apprciate it. But I want to find someone on my own."
Josh sighed heavily and looked at his watch. "Well guys its getting late, I
think I should be heading out." He got up and started for the door when
Joey spoke.

	"Its 6pm Josh. Thats not late, we'e all been out longer than that
when we go clubbing."

	"Thats different Joey. Tonight is Christmas Eve. I think I'll go to
my apartment and call my family if its all the same to you." He then
proceeded to put on his shoes and head out the front door. Shortly after
they heard his car start and pull away.

	"Has anyone else notced that Josh seems to be a little short with
us lately?"

	"He's just lonely and its taking its toll on him."

	"We need to fix him up." Said Joey already thinking of the girls
that he could call.

	"Joey, you know thats the last thing that he wants. He wants to do
this by himself." Said Justin, being the one who knew Josh the best.

	"Thats so stubborn of him" Said Chris.

	"You've met Josh right? He is a stubborn person, thats just how he
is."  Said Lance, finally speaking up and sharing his own opinion. "He'll
do what he thinks is best, and we just need to be there for him."

	After that they sat in silence watching the flames burn brightly in
the fireplace. Soon after Joey got up saying he was going to see Kelly
before the night was over. Chris followed suite saying that he was going to
Dani's.  Both said there good byes and wished them a Merry Christmas, and
that they would stop by in the afternoon.

	Once they had left Lance and Justin snuggled up even tighter than
they were before and continued to watch the flames.

On the other side of town.

	JC walked in to his apartment and saw that the answering machine
was blinking. He went over and pushed the play button and then started to
turn on lights. While he was walking around he heard the voice of his
mother.

	"Hello Sweety! Its your Mother! I just wanted to call and wish you
a Merry Christmas. I really wish you would have come home and see us, but I
understand that you must stay were you are since your tour starts a few
days from now. Your brother and father both wish you a Merry Christmas as
well.  Please call soon. Love you. Goodbye Sweety!"

	JC hit the erase button and made a mental note to call his family
the next day. The next message started to play and he sat on the couch next
to the phone and machine.

	"Hello JC... Its Kyle... I uh... I just wanted to tell you I had a
great time on our date the other night. I hope that I'll be able to see you
again, I have a great time while I'm with you. Please call me back when you
get this."

	JC hit the replay buttoned and listened to the message
again. Smiling to himself he hit the erase button and picked up the
phone. He dialed Kyle's number and waited patiently. Soon after someone
picked up on the other end.

	"Hi its JC..... I'm fine and you?... Cool, I just got your message
and was wondering if you could get away for a few hours tonight?... You
can!  Great!.... Do you want to go get a coffee or something with
me?... No?....  Pizza actually sounds really good, where shall we
meet?... Okay say half an hour? ..... Okay see you then." JC hung up the
phone and smiled broadly to himself. He got up and went to ready himself as
best he could before heading out the door again.

At the Timberlaks place.

	Lance and Justin had moved to the couch and were chatting quietly
amonsgt themselves.

	"Where is everyone?"

	"My folks went to my Aunts, and they took Jonathan with them."

	"So we have the house to ourselves?"

	"We sure do hotshot."

	"Wanna go upstairs?" Lance winked at him.

	"Um no." Justin said with a hint in mischieve in his voice. "I will
however escort you to the shower."

	"I see, well who am I to argue with that." He stood up and took
hold of his lovers hand. They walked up the stairs to their room.

	Several hours later they were lying on their bed exhausted from
their most recent lovemaking session. After their first time a few days
ago, they tried to experience each other as often as possible.

	"I love you James." Justin panted.

	"I love you too Sweetpea." Lance said drowsley as he fell into a
deep sleep.

	Justin watched his lover for a few minutes with nothing but
admiration and love in his eyes. He quietly moved over to the side of the
bed. He opened the drawer on the endtable next to his bed. From the very
back of the drawer under some pictures, he pulled a small box. He held in
it his hand and smiled. "Tommorow will be the day." He thought to
himself. He kissed the box and placed it back where he had got it. He Then
cuddled up to his boyfriend and fell blissfully into sleep.

	About three hours later Lance awoke to find that Justin had wrapped
himself around his lover tightly. He gently unwrapped himself from his
younger lover and moved to the side of the bed. He sat up and swung his
legs over the side. He opened the middle drawer of the night stand next to
him and moved aside the piture of Justin he kept in a frame for when he was
away on business. FreeLance took him away from his lover more than he would
have liked, but he knew that Justin understood, he had his own side project
to deal with. Under the picture was a a small box that he removed. It was
the box he kept his most precious possesions in. The Cross that his
grandfather had given him. A lock of Justin's hair when he had cut it all
off. Justin didden't know that he had it, but Lance secretly kept it to
himself. He also had several old photo's of his family. But the most
precious thing that he owned as of date was the small velvet covered
box. It contained one object that he himself would never wear. He turned
and looked at his sleeping lover, stoking the side of Justins face he said
to softly as to no awaken Justin "Tommorow is going to change our
lives. And its not because of anything that Santa will bring us."

	He was starteled when he heard a soft knock at the door. As it
opened he saw that it was Lynn, Justin's mother.

	"Hi Lynn.... I mean Mom.... whats up?"

	"We just got home and put Jonathan to bed... Calming him down has
been a challenge to say the least. I cannot wait until he outgrows
Christmas."

	"I hope that never happens Mom."

	"I'm going to get some tea then head to bed, sweet dreams."

	'Actually I'm wide awake, Would you like some company?"

	"Sure, I'll put the kettle on." She left and Lance smiled to
himself.

	Lance threw on some PJ pants and leaned over and kissed Justin the
forehead. He then walked downstairs to see Lynn.

	Lynn had a cup of tea ready for him.

	"Sit down hun, for some reason I think you wanna talk."

	Lance smiled brightly, he was dying to tell someone what he was
planning, but diddent want to risk telling the guys in case Justin found
out.

	"I uh.... geeze you would think it would come easier than this."

	'Just spit it out James. Is everything with you and my son alright?
Is there anything that I can do to help?" Lynn's obvious concern was
heartwarming because Lance knew it wasent concern over just her son, but of
him as well.

	"Tommorow after we have pened the presents, I'm going to ask Justin
to marry me."

	"OH MY!" Lynn said as she smiled and laughed at the same time. " I
am so happy for you, you two will make a beutiful pair I can be sure. My
son is lucky to have someone like you. "

	They sat and chatted for a while before they both headed up to
their respective bedrooms.

Across town in front of JC's place.

	JC had had a wonderful time with Kyle that night. As it was they
only went out for pizza and coffee. They had talked for hours at end with
neither feeling bored.

	"I had a wonderful time Josh."

	"I did to Kyle. When are you free next? Maybe we can get together
again."

	"I would love that Josh. Anyways I have to get going, its late and
tommorow IS Christmas after all."

	"I know. Merry Christmas Kyle."

	"Merry Christmas Josh."

	Kyle pulled Josh into a hug and while pulling apart their eyes
met. While still holding each other they slowly started to move there heads
together.

	JC knew what was about to happen and despite his earlier
conatations, was not affraid or repulsed. Instead he leaned in and placed
his lips gently on Kyle's. His Kiss was soft and exciting. They pulled
apart and smiled at each other.

	" I liked that."

	"So did I."

	They both smiled at each other, and holding hands till the last
second as they pulled apart, they both went their seperate ways.

	Once entering his apartment, JC smiled at himself. He knew his life
was about to change.


THE NEXT MORNING

	"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! SANTA WAS HERE!" Was the first thing
that both Lance and Justin heard as they were ripped from their blissful
sleep.

	"Arg! What time is it?"

	Looking at the clock next to the bed, Justin moaned "6:27am"

	"I don't know wether to start crying or get all happy like
Jonathan." Lance said as he wiped the sleep out of his eyes.

	"If I were you, I'd be all happy and jittery, or else Jonathan
won't leave you two alone all day." Said Randy, Justins step father, from
the doorway where he stood.

	"Okay, we're getting up."

	"Good I have coffee and Juice ready for the two of you."

	Once they were up and dressed in their PJ's they headed
downstairs. It was a wonderful morning filled with presents for all and
from all. Jonathan got several toys and clothes. Lance got an embossed
dayplanner. And Justin got a new Basketball Jersey. All in all, everyone
got what they wanted, and whatever they dident want, they were still
greatful to recieve.

	"Is that all?" Jonathan asked with youthful innosence.

	"Not yet, There is one more present, but its for Justin." Lance
said as he smiled at both Justin ad Lynn. Lynn got a knowing smile on her
face. Lance reached into his pocket for the small box he was holding, only
to find that he diddent have it on him. He must have left it upstairs. "I
uh... forgot it upstairs.. I'll be right ..." But he never finished, he was
stunned into silence as Justin, his lover of two years, dropped to one
knee.

	"James, you are the light of my life. I have never felt the way I
have felt before as I do with you now. You can make me smile just by
entering the room. You lift my heart up to new heights and for which I will
always love you. James Lance Bass, will you do me the honour of marrying
me?"He opened the box and displayed the pure platnium ring to his soon to
be fiance. Lance immeadiatly recognized it as the same ring he had bought
for Justin.

	Everyone was stunned into silence. Lance himself was chocking back
tears, he had never before been so moved. He dropped to his knees in front
of Justin and grabbed both sides of Justin's face. He planted a small kiss
on his lover's lips and smiled sweetly.

	"Yes, yes of course I will marry you!"

	"Thank god!" Justin sighed a huge sigh of reliefe. "I've been
stressing about this all week, ever since I bought the ring last monday."

	Wiping away tears Lance spoke "Stay here for one second." And with
that he tore off upstairs.  Randy had swiftly departed to the kitchen and
soon returned with a bottle of champaigne and five glasses. Soon there
after lance flew down the stairs and resumed his position on his knee in
front of a now standing Justin. He opened the small box that he was
carrying and proclaimed:

	"Justin, you mean more to me than words can describe. You have made
me happier than any man has any right to be. I said I would stand by you
for the rest of our lives and I now askyou the same. Justin Randall
Timberlake, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

	"So you were theother guy who bought that ring! The lady said that
she had sold it to another young gentleman earlier that day. She sad she
loved helping out young couples."

	"Justin?" Lynn asked, urging her son on.

	"Yes mom?"

	"You havent answered him. James is waiting for your answer."

	Justin turned to Lance and smiled. Lance smiled back, yet still
awaited the answer. Justin leaned in and kissed his lover. "Nothing would
make me happier."

	Both boys smiled again, wiping away each others tears of joy, they
kissed again.

	Randy had already poured the glasses of Champaigne and had handed
them out to Lynn, Justin, Lance, himself and even Jonathan.

	"A toast to the happy couple!" They were all about to take a drink
when there was a knock at the door.

	"Now who could that be?" Lynn wondered as she put down her glass
and walked over to the door. She opened it to see who it was, and when she
saw who it was she smiled braodly and puled whoever it was into a
hug. "Come on in Josh, oh! Who is this?"

	Josh walked in and was followed by a man that none had seen before.

	"I would like to introduce you all to Kyle..... My Boyfriend."

	Jaws dropped all around the room... Justin was the first to
speak. "You're what?"
