Subject: Lance's Story: The Times Of Your Life

Hey everyone!

I was very pleased with the response I got from the first full chapter.  I
hope everyone is enjoying the story so far!

So here's the second chapter: more Lance and Brian, will JC say anything,
will Lance and Brian find out about each other, does Justin really like to
bleach his hair?  (ok that last one I made up...  from comments he's made
recently I think he really regrets the bleached look now)

Again... thanks to everyone who's prompted me to write this story.  How
could I disappoint so many people!


As usual:
This story is purely fiction and is not intended to imply anything about
the true sexuality of  'N Sync or anyone associated with their organization
or the reality of their lives.  It is meant for those over the age of 18
only and those who wish to read stories with sexual content.

Lance's Story

The Times of Your Life


	"Goodbye to yesterday
	You wake up
	And time has slipped away

	And suddenly they're hard to find
	The memories are in your mind
	Do you remember
	The times of your life?"

		-William Lane/Roger Nichols


For the next several days, Lance would stare at the paper with Brian's
phone number, remembering their short night together and smile.  Brian
filled his thoughts and had crept into dreams that made him blush to think
of them.  A small part of him felt guilty.  It seemed he forgot his
infatuation with JC or any other guy so quickly when he met Brian.  Lance
didn't give much thought about it, he was seriously smitten.

He had decided that he'd ask him to come to see the Backstreet Boys with
them.  It took him most of the week to screw up his courage to do it.  He
was so worked up about making the phone call, he didn't even worry about
his driving test.  Fortunately he passed with flying colors.  Now it was
Friday and he had one day left.  Knowing it would be rude to ask the day of
the concert, it was now or never.

Lance made sure he had some privacy.  Lynn was gone and JC and Justin were
at the local park playing some basketball with what Justin called their
'homeboys.'  With shaking fingers he dialed the number and waited for his
call to be answered.

"Hello?"

Lance could barely hear the person who answered through some loud music.
"Is Brian there?" Lance asked loudly.

"Hold on," was shouted back to him.

Lance heard some muffled shouting and the music stopped abruptly.

"Sorry about that, what was that again?"

Lance listened to the rich voice.  "Um, is Brian there, please?"

There was a sigh.  "Sure, hold on."

'This guy has the same accent as Brian,' he thought.  'Bet that was his
cousin, Kevin.  He sounds nice too.'  After a short minute Brian came on
the line.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Brian, it's Lance."

"Oh, hey guy.  I'm glad you called."

The warmth in his voice melted Lance's heart.  "So how you been?"  Lance
mentally kicked himself for such a lame line.

"Doing good, just enjoying the free time.  How about you?"

"Same here.  Sounded like a party going on there."

Brian laughed.  "I have two roommates and a friend over.  That was my
cousin, Kevin, who answered the phone and it was our roommate who had the
music up loud with our friend."

"Ah."

"How about you?  Live with anyone?"

"My friend Josh and I are living with another friend's family for now."

"That's cool."

Lance hesitated a second.  "Brian, I was wondering, a bunch of friends and
I are going to a concert tomorrow night and I wanted to know if you would
like to come with us?" he rushed out in one breath.

"Wow, thanks for asking but I'm busy tomorrow night."

"Oh."  Lance didn't even try to hide the disappointment in his voice.  'I
knew I should've called earlier,' he berated himself.

"Hey, but I'm free tonight.  Want to catch a movie?"

"Ya, I would."

"Ok, pick you up in about an hour, ok?"

"Sounds good, see ya then, bye."

"Bye."  Lance hung up the phone and fell onto his bed.  'Oh my God.  I have
a real date!'

Lance spent the time taking a shower and getting ready.  He decided to
dress nice but not overly nice and primped in the mirror.  Right on time
Brian pulled up in front of the house and before he could even start up the
walk, Lance was outside with him.

"Let's go!" Lance smiled.

Brian opened the door for him like he had before and soon they were off.
Lance found out they had the same tastes in movies and quickly decided on a
comedy that had been out for awhile that neither of them had seen.

Brian payed for everything making Lance feel special.  While they waited
for the movie to start they talked about their backgrounds and found they
shared many of the same beliefs growing up.  As the movie started, they
lapsed into a comfortable silence as they shared a popcorn.  Lance would
tingle every time their hands touched.  Once it was gone Brian reached over
and held Lance's hand causing both their pulses to race.

After the movie, back in Brian's Wrangler, Lance leaned over and kissed
Brian on the cheek.  "Thanks for the treat."

Brian smiled at him.  "My pleasure."  They leaned in simultaneously and
kissed.  "Let's go someplace a little more private," Brian suggested.

Within minutes they were parked on the outskirts of town near a park.  They
weren't the only people in the lot.  There were a few others, couples
taking a walk near the pond, enjoying the warm, starlit night and teenagers
doing their own explorations.  They didn't waste time slipping into each
other arms.  They kissed long and hard.

Lance couldn't believe it.  'Here I am, making out with a guy in a car.
This is so cool.'

Their desires went unchecked as they took turns unbuttoning each other's
shirts, keeping their lips locked together.  Lance was dizzy with need.  He
slipped his hands inside Brian's shirt and felt his smooth chest.  Brian
moaned as Lance's fingers brushed a nipple and shoved his tongue deeply
into Lance's mouth.

Brian decided to repay the favor and reached with both hands into Lance's
shirt and fondled his pecs paying close attention to both nipples.  Lance
groaned loudly never wanting Brian to stop.

Brian pulled away leaving them both panting.  He reached into the back seat
and grabbed a blanket.  "Come on, I know a spot that's very secluded and
private."

They made their way deeper into the park, holding hands in the dark.  Brian
found the spot he was looking for and spread the blanket out.  Lance looked
around.  They were in a sort of clearing surrounded by trees and dense
bushes.  It was off the path and looked fairly unused.

"This is perfect," Lance said as Brian hugged him from behind.  Lance
turned and pushed Brian's shirt off of his shoulders.  Brian did the same
and they stood admiring each other in the starlight.

"You're so beautiful," Brian breathed softly making Lance blush.  They sank
down onto the blanket both pulling their pants off and lay together in only
their boxers.

Brian rolled on top of Lance and pressed their erections together as they
kissed.  He clutched Lance's head between his hands as Lance rubbed his
hands up and down Brian's back before settling on his firm ass.

"Oh, Brian," Lance moaned.

Their kissing continued as their hands wandered freely.  Eventually Brian
moved to lay beside Lance and grasped him through his boxers making Lance
shudder.

"Brian, I've never done anything like this before," he finally said softly.
"The other night in the car was the first..." he stumbled to a stop.

"You mean?"  Lance simply nodded.  "Oh, I didn't realize."  Brian ran his
fingers along Lance's cheek.  "It's ok, we'll only do what you feel
comfortable with."

Lance smiled and pulled Brian down for another kiss.  "Can we do what we
did the other night?" Lance asked shyly.

"Certainly."  Brian kissed down Lance's neck and across his chest.  Soft
licks on his nipples made Lance squirm with delight.  Brian licked down
Lance's stomach wetting down the light trail of hair below his belly button
while pulling off his boxers.  Lance moaned softly as the night air hit his
erect penis.

Brian grasped it at the base and admired it.  "You are so beautiful," he
said, leaning up to kiss Lance.  "You do realize that you are really big
down there?" he giggled.

Lance smiled at him between kisses.  "I really haven't had alot of
opportunity to compare."

"Well take my word for it."  Brian moved down and took the head in his
mouth bringing another moan from Lance.  He slowly took it all in his mouth
and throat over and over making Lance shiver.

"Can I do it to you now?" Lance panted.

"Let's do it together," Brian suggested.  He shed his boxers and turned
until they were in a 69 position.  "Just do what you..." his words were
drowned in a groan as Lance practically swallowed him whole.

Lance was in heaven.  The feeling of Brian sucking him while he was sucking
Brian quickly overloaded his brain.  He sucked and licked until his jaw
ached.  Soon they both felt the other stiffen beside them.  "Oh God," Lance
moaned.  "Brian, I'm close."

"Me too," he panted in response.

Within seconds they were both shooting in each other's mouths.  Lance once
again savored the slightly salty taste of Brian's cum.  He was on cloud
nine.  Sex with another person was even better than he'd ever imagined.

Once they had softened Brian moved back up and put his head on Lance's
chest.  "That was wonderful, Lance."

"I never knew it could be so good."

Brian lifted his head and smiled at him.  He lazily kissed Lance's lips.
"I love the way you taste."

Lance blushed.  "I was thinking the same."

Lance rolled them so he was on top as their soft kisses intensified.
Before long they were once again shooting into each other's mouths.

------


Lance kissed Brian goodnight one last time before heading into the house.
He turned in the door and waved as Brian pulled away from the curb.
Everything was dark inside and he quietly made his way to the stairs.
Halfway through the living room a quiet voice nearly scared him to death.

"So where have you been?"

"Josh, you just about gave me a heart attack!"

"Sorry," JC clicked on a lamp.  "So?"

"I was on a date, went to the movies.  I left a note."

JC nodded.  "Ya, I saw it.  Same person?"

"Yup, it was nice."

"You two getting serious?

"I guess, ya."  Lance felt uncomfortable with JC's questioning.  He didn't
want to reveal exactly what he'd been doing on his date but didn't want to
lie either.

"That's nice."

Something in JC's tone made Lance hesitate.  "Josh, are you ok?  What's
wrong?"  Lance looked at JC closely.  'Does he look sad or is that
disappointment?' he thought.

"Oh nothing," he dismissed.  "I was just concerned about you and I'm a
little tired."

Lance nodded then gave him a hug.  "Thanks for caring, I appreciate that.
I've got to go to bed, good night."

Josh smiled back at him.  "See you in the morning."

Lance headed quietly up to his room and to bed leaving JC sitting in the
living room.  He didn't see the now obvious slightly hurt and sad
expression on JC's face.

------


On Saturday they arrived at the House of Blues right on time.  Lou brought
them backstage to meet the Backstreet Boys before they went to their seats.
Lance was the last to enter the room as the two groups waited to be
introduced.  Standing by the door, he couldn't see everyone too well in the
small room.

Lou began by introducing 'NSync.  Once he gave out their names he turned to
the tall dark haired man standing in the center of the room.  Lance
couldn't believe how striking he looked.

"Well," he started with a deep, slightly southern accent, "I'm Kevin,
that's Howie, AJ and Nick."  He looked around.  "I'm missing one, he's in
the bathroom."

Just as Kevin finished the bathroom door opened and in walked Brian.
Lance's draw dropped open and he grew pale.  'Brian!!??' his mind screamed.
'And his cousin Kevin, of course.'

Brian gave his dazzling smile.  "Hey y'all."  His gaze swept the group then
settled on Lance.  He blinked in surprise.

"That's my cousin, Brian."  Kevin quickly went through the 'NSync guy's
names for him.

Lou left to make a phone call, leaving the two bands to themselves.  They
broke off into smaller groups trying to get to know each other.

JC stood in the center of the room near Kevin, Joey and AJ.  The three knew
each other from area auditions and talked easily.  JC didn't really paying
attention to their conversation.  Justin and Nick gravitated to each other
seeing a kindred spirit in each being the youngest.  They talked and
laughed about video games and comic books.  Chris and Howie hugged and
started talking a mile a minute, having already known each other from
singing in a community college choir a few years earlier.

JC looked across to Lance and Brian.  They were standing close together,
having an intense conversation as if they'd known each other before.  For
some reason the implied intimacy bothered JC.  He was brought back to the
group he was with by Kevin.

"Hey, JC, you guys want to go out after the concert?"

JC came out of his thoughts.  "Um, I guess so.  We'll have to ask the rest,
but that would be fun."

------


Lance couldn't believe his eyes.  It was -his- Brian.  As they split into
smaller groups, Brian motioned for Lance to follow him into the corner.

"Well, this is a surprise," Brian said with a worried grin.

"Ah, ya, you could say that."

"I guess we didn't really find out enough about each other, huh?"

"Oh, I don't know that.  Neither of us wanted to talk about what we did for
work.  I guess now I know why you were busy tonight," Lance said with a
smile.

Brian became a little self-conscious.  "Um, I'm sorry, this is just a
little awkward."

Lance nodded looking down.  "I know."

Brian then started panicking.  "If I...  ah...  what I mean to say is..."
He stopped, shaking his head.

"What's wrong?"  Lance started worrying, wondering why Brian was acting
this way.

He cleared his throat before continuing looking decidedly pale.  "If I
remember the press release right, you're only 17 years old," he said
quietly but forcefully.

"Ya, so?" Lance said, not getting what he was saying.

"Crap, Lance!  I'm 21, I could go to jail for what we've done together."

Lance's eyes widened not having thought of that possibility.  "No, Brian.
I would never say anything.  It will only be between you and me.  I... I...
I wanted it to happen.  I really liked it."

Brian calmed a little seeing Lance's distress.  "It's ok, I trust you.  I
really don't have any other choice.  You understand that we can't do that
again.  At least not until you're 18."

"You mean you still want to see me?"

"I would like to, if you would."  Lance's nod brought out a wide smile from
Brian that knocked Lance for a loop.

------


Lance spent the holidays both depressed and elated thinking back on the
last week in Orlando.  He loved being home and he truly had missed his
family but this was the first time he'd been away from the guys in almost a
year and he missed them terribly.  There was someone else he was missing
too, Brian.

Lou had nixed the idea of anyone going out that night so the bands said
goodbye backstage.  Brian had motioned for Lance to call him.  They talked
almost every day before they both headed to home their families.  The
schedules were tight but they managed one trip to Starbucks, Brian
escorting Lance door to door.

Brian had been nothing but the perfect gentleman on that date.  Lance
wanted to jump him the entire time but restrained himself knowing that, if
caught, they would get in a load of trouble, Brian in particular.  Lance
did get a healthy kiss goodnight from Brian but no more.

Lance loved his family, but couldn't wait for the few days to be over and
head back 'home.'  One of the first things he did back in Orlando was call
Brian and he got the machine.

"We're sorry we aren't home right now," Kevin's soft voice said, "if you
need to leave a message do so at 555-1123.  We are out of town.  Thanks for
calling.  **BEEP**"

Lance put the phone down, without leaving a message, thinking.  He was
sitting on his bed when Justin ran in and jumped on him.

"Welcome home, Lancey!" he yelled.  They both laughed and started tickling
each other.  Finally Lance had enough and called 'uncle.'

Justin snuggled into Lance and they lay close together.  Lance enjoyed the
intimacy that Justin freely shared with all of them.  There was nothing
overtly sexual about it, only Justin's way of showing affection.  Lance
knew deep down that Justin was basically insecure, despite the 'tough boy'
image he portrayed outwardly.  He used physical closeness to give him the
affirmation he needed.

"Hey, guess what Josh is gonna get me for my 16th birthday?"

Lance raised one graceful eyebrow at Justin.  "Aren't presents supposed to
be surprises?" he grinned.

"Well, he asked what I wanted, so I told him and he said he'd buy it,"
Justin said smugly.

"So, are you gonna tell me?" he asked after waiting a minute.

"Oh, ya," Justin laughed.  "A cell phone!  Isn't that cool?"

"Very."

Justin gave him a big, warm hug and a kiss on the cheek.  "I missed ya,
buddy."

Lance returned the hug and kiss gladly.  "I missed you too, squirt."  Lance
was always glad of the closeness the five of them shared and that included
these small displays of affection.  They were on the road and alone so much
that it kept them all from feeling lonely and homesick.

Justin laughed then jumped up and ran to the door.  "I'm gonna go swimming,
wanna come?"

"Sure I'll be down in a minute."  He watched Justin run into his room and a
second later dash downstairs.

Lance smiled at his energy.  He considered Justin his best friend.  He was
always there to help learn a dance step or make him smile when he was down.
And now, without even knowing it, he helped yet again.  Taking the card out
of his wallet, he picked up the phone and dialed Brian's cell number.  It
rang several times before it was answered.

"Hello, Brian's phone, this is Howie."

"Um, hi.  Can I speak to Brian please?"

"Hold on, he's on his way."

There was a pause before Lance heard Howie toss the phone to Brian.
"Hello?"

"Hey, Brian, it's Lance."

"Oh, hi there.  How was your Christmas?"

"It was good, yours?"

"Just fine.  Listen I don't have alot of time right now, we have to head
out for sound check in like two seconds."

"So you're out on tour early, huh?"

"Sorta a Christmas present they didn't tell us about.  Can you call me
tomorrow morning?"

"Sure, talk to you later, bye."

"Bye, Lance.  Thanks for calling."

Lance sighed a little in depression but he wasn't surprised.  The
unexpected appearances happened to them all the time.  He changed into his
trunks and joined Justin in the pool.

The Times of Your Life:  um... somewhere in the mid 70's... for a long time
it was the theme music for the Kodak commercials
