Subject: Next Window Please - Chapter 23

Hello readers!  Well, there is bad news and good news...the bad news is, I
think I am going to "end" this story after part 25...I just think JC and
Lance are in such a happy place that there's only so much they can do
now...I'm sure I could come up with situations to throw them in, but I want
to explore other things, which leads me to my good news.  I'm going to start
a new story, which will be a continuation of these guys lives, but will
focus on some of the other characters (namely Drew and Joey)...of course I
still intend to devote some time to Lance and JC, since they are my
favorites!  Stay tuned for more info in the next chapter.  And thanks to
everyone who has been so supportive of the story thus far...please send me
feedback!

You know it's coming...if this isn't legal for you to read - go away.  I
also make no claims on anyone's sexuality in this story - this is all made
up, as I do not know them personally and their private lives are just that -
private.  Enjoy!

Chapter 23 - There is no me without you

	Lance was awakened to the sounds of shouting coming from the living
room.  He turned over in the bed and didn't see JC.  As he slowly became
more alert, he realized the voices were JC and Justin.  He scrambled out of
bed, pulled on some sweat pants and ran out into the living room, where JC
was sitting on the couch while Justin paced around the room.
	They both looked up at him as he came in.  Justin, who clearly
livid, turned to Josh, "Have you told him yet?"
	Lance was confused and curious as to what Justin meant, but a
little scared about hearing it.  Whatever Josh had said had upset him
greatly and he wasn't sure he needed something else to deal with now that
everything seemed to finally be going right in his life.
	Lance looked at JC, who was clad in a T-shirt and a pair of Lance's
boxers, "What do you need to tell me?"
	Justin stopped pacing and laughed, "Oh nothing really.  It's just
that your boyfriend made out with my girlfriend and neglected to tell
either one of us!"
	Lance was frozen.  This couldn't be true.  First of all, he didn't
believe JC would cheat on him and second, JC didn't like girls.  Of course,
he had been with women before and maybe he got so mad when he found out
about the kiss with Drew that he went off and did something to get even.
Lance was trying not to think too much, especially since he didn't have all
the details, but he couldn't help it.  He was hurt and angry and perplexed.
	Still, he managed to ask, "When did this happen?"
	Justin said nothing, but JC stood up and went to Lance, "Last
year".
	Suddenly, Lance felt a wave of relief.  This had happened before he
and Josh had gotten together.  Sure, he wish he had told him, but he wasn't
really mad anymore.  And, honestly, Justin shouldn't have been too upset,
but J had a temper something fierce and he didn't like to be kept in the
dark about things.
	Lance saw the sad puppy-dog look on his lover's face and pulled him
into a hug, "It's okay.  I'm not mad.  I wish you had told me, though".
	JC whispered into Lance's shoulder where he set his head, "I just
didn't want to make things awkward with anyone."
	Justin looked over and was disgusted, "I'm so glad you can forgive
him Lance, because this is wrong."
	Lance let go of JC and went to his curly-headed friend, "Look, J,
it's ancient history and it's not like they were seriously dating or it was
a regular thing," and turning to JC, "right?"
	JC nodded and Lance turned back to Justin, "Josh is your best
friend.  Do you think he would ever do anything to purposely hurt you?"
	Justin lowered his head, "Naw, I guess not".
	Lance lifted Justin's chin, "Look, man.  It's all good.  I've seen
Britney around you.  She's really into you."
	Justin smiled, "I know.  I was just taken by surprise, that's all.
I let my temper get the best of me".
	Justin went over to JC, "Forgive me, bro?"
	JC smiled and joked, "Only if you give me a big kiss!"  Justin
smirked and leaned in, planting a big one on JC.  JC backed up and pushed
Justin.  All the guys laughed for a few minutes.  Just then, Joey walked in
the room, "What's going on?"
	Lance looked at the others, "I swear Joey, you could sleep through
an earthquake".
	The guys laughed again while Joey stared at them, confused.  Justin
went to him to explain things, while JC and Lance returned to the bedroom.
JC stripped off his clothes and headed to the bathroom.  He looked over at
Lance, "You gonna join me?"
	Lance, who was laying on the bed, rolled onto his stomach and faced
JC, "So, how did it happen?"
	JC sighed and wrapped a towel around his naked body.  He sat down
next to Lance and began rubbing his back, "It's stupid really.  You
remember the MTV Awards last year?"
	"Of course.  I was there," Lance commented.
	JC continued, "Well, you know we all partied afterwards and I got a
little tipsy and Britney offered to take me back to the hotel in her limo?"
	Lance remembered the event, "You don't have to go on.  I can figure
out what happened next".
	JC stared out the window, "It was just kissing and stuff.  I was
really upset and wouldn't tell her why and she tried to comfort me".
	Lance sat up, "Why were you upset?"
	JC smiled, "I was upset about you," Lance asked why and JC replied,
"Well, you were there with your date".
	Lance interrupted, "You mean Julie?  She's like one of my best
friends from high school".
	JC nodded, "I know, but when I saw you dancing with her, and that
mixed with the alcohol, just sent me into a funk.  Remember I was in love
with you".
	Lance got up and pulled off his sweat pants.  He stood in front of
JC, who leaned in and rested his head against Lance's bare torso.  Lance
rubbed his head, "Well, that's all in the past and you won't ever have to
worry about me not wanting you".
	JC rose up and pressed his body into Lance's.  Lance kissed him,
"How did this whole thing start anyway?"
	JC kissed him back, "We were watching the umpteenth rerun of the
awards show and Britney's act came up and I made some comment about her
tongue.  You know she does that thing with her tongue when she's singing?
Well, we started talking about things and it kinda came up.  I don't even
know really what preceded it specifically".
	Lance kissed JC to stop him from talking, "I'm glad it's out in the
open".
	JC ran his hands down Lance's back, stopping just short of his
butt, "I'm glad you came in and talked some sense into Curly".
	Lance brushed his hand against JC's chest hair, "Well, I had to.
Chris is coming home today and all he needs is you guys fighting."  Lance
pinched JC's nipple, causing JC to lightly bite his lip.  Lance felt his
boyfriend hardening between them, which made him do the same.  He smiled at
JC, "You know, I think I will join you in that shower".
	JC grabbed Lance's hand and pulled him into the bathroom.  JC
switched on the shower and in a minute, the whole room was filled with
steam.  Lance felt the moisture begin to stick to him body as he followed
Josh into the shower stall.
	The warm water cascaded over their bodies and soon they were both
totally wet.  Lance gLanced down and noticed JC was still semi-hard and he
wanted to make sure he stayed aroused.  JC reached over Lance's shoulder
for the shampoo and Lance seized the opportunity to softly kiss JC's neck.
JC backed away and shook his finger, "We need to clean up a little first".
	Lance kissed JC again, "But, we're just gonna get dirty again".
	JC put some shampoo on his hands and began rubbing them through
Lance's hair.  Lance felt a tingling sensation as his lover caressed his
scalp slowly, working up a foamy lather.  Lance never thought something so
routine could be so sensual, but he soon found himself fully aroused and
this wasn't lost on JC, who lowered his soapy hand down to Lance's cock and
slowly began stroking it.
	Lance protested, "I thought we had to get clean first".
	JC shrugged, "I changed my mind.  But, you do need to do my hair".
	Lance got some shampoo and put it on JC's head.  JC was taller and
Lance told him to lean down some.  JC complied and slowly dropped to his
knees.  As Lance began to work in the shampoo, he felt JC move closer to
his crotch and soon, the hot wet shower water that was on his penis, was
replaced by the warm lips of JC's mouth.  Lance felt his knees go weak as
JC surrounded his shaft and began sucking him.  Lance tried to finish
washing JC's hair, but he was too aroused to concentrate and he placed his
hands on the walls of the stall to steady himself.
	JC sucked for a while longer and Lance felt himself getting close
to orgasm.  Lance's cock swelled slightly and JC suddenly backed off.  He
stood up, the remnants of the shampoo dripping down his chest and pulled
Lance into a kiss.  Lance hungrily took JC's tongue into his mouth,
passionately kissing him.  Lance worked his way up to JC's ear, sending the
boy into a frenzy.
	As Lance suckled his ear, JC reached over and grabbed the washcloth
and soap.  He reached around and began lathering Lance's back, making sure
to rub his butt as well.  Lance moved down, sucking on JC's neck.  JC
nearly dropped the soap, but managed to hold on as he took one slick finger
and pressed it against Lance's hole.  Lance moaned and but down on JC's
neck, showing he was pleased.
	JC inserted the finger, causing Lance to sway his head back.  JC
leaned in and kissed Lance on the front of his neck.  Lance's hand found
it's way to JC's cock and when JC pulled way, Lance turned around, grinding
his ass into JC's crotch.  Lance grabbed the soap from JC and worked a
froth into his hands.  He reached behind to lubricate JC's cock.  JC moaned
as the slippery hands rubbed his swollen member.
	Lance leaned forward and guided JC's penis into his awaiting hole.
JC slowly entered, sending a wave of intense pleasure through Lance.  The
pain he had felt previously barely registered this time as JC shoved
himself in to Lance all the way to the root.  Lance felt the tingle of JC's
pubic hair as his lover began grinding his pelvis.
	Lance dropped the soap, causing a loud thud on the floor.  This
caused JC to momentarily stop, but once he saw everything was okay, he
continued.  Lance, who was now facing the glass door of the shower, could
see his reflection in the mirror over the sink.  Most of it was fogged up,
but part of it still was clear enough for him to see the look of extreme
delight on his face as JC pounded into him from behind.  He closed his eyes
as JC's movements became more rhythmic.  He felt JC's hand reach around and
take Lance's dick into his fist, slowly stroking it like before.
	Lance almost shot his load right there, but held out.  He wanted to
come when JC did and he knew he wasn't ready yet.  Lance threw his head
back and JC leaned in so they could kiss each other.  It was a little
awkward, but Lance wanted to taste JC's sweet kisses as he fucked him.
	Soon, JC started speeding up and Lance returned to his own
approaching orgasm, letting it come full force this time.  Soon, he felt
his climax rush through him as his come sprayed the wall of the shower.  JC
was still pumping, but a few seconds later, Lance felt his lover's jizz
coat his insides.  JC's knees buckled and he leaned on Lance as he orgasm
subsided.
	The two stood there, their breathing labored, for a few moments,
before JC slipped out.  Lance turned around and grabbed the washcloth.  He
began cleaning up his lover, who looked spent.  The two finished washing
up, Lance making sure to clean to shower door.  They held each other for
several minutes, Lance taking in the scent of JC's clean skin.  Soon, the
water started getting cold, so they exited the shower and dried off.
	They went into the bedroom and stared getting dressed.  As they
finished, there was a knock.  It was Joey, who called out, "Hey guys!  You
done screwing in there?  Cause Chris is on his way up!"
	JC looked over at Lance and smiled, "We gotta be more quiet!"
	Lance finished buttoning up his shirt and went to JC, "There is no
way I can be quiet when you're in me".
	JC cocked an eyebrow, "Well, I guess I'll just have to stop".
	Lance grabbed him, "Like hell you will!"  JC laughed and Lance
pulled his close, "God, I love you so much".
	"You know I do too," JC replied as he kissed Lance.

	Chris still looked pretty sickly when he came in, followed by his
mom.  She looked tired too, but Lance figured she probably hadn't had much
sleep in the last couple of days.  Lance offered her a drink, but she
refused, "No thanks.  I actually have to catch a flight back in a couple of
hours.  I just wanted to make sure Chris got settled in okay".
	Chris was led to his bedroom, where he immediately passed out.
Mrs.  Kirkpatrick explained that he was still drugged up and would have to
sleep it off.  Joey and JC dragged Chris' limp body under the covers.
	Chris' mom kissed her son on the forehead and Lance walked her to
the door, "Dani is coming up on Friday to see him.  Until then, he's all
yours.  Thanks for your help".
	Lance smiled at Mrs. Kirkpatrick, who leaned in, "Can I ask you
something Lance?"
	"Sure, what's up?" Lance replied.
	Chris' mom opened the door, "Chris muttered something to me and I
was just wondering if it was true.  He said something about you and Joshua
being a couple.  Is that true?"
	Lance sighed, not sure what to say or how she would react.  So, he
simply told her the truth, "Yes, ma'am.  We're dating".
	Mrs. Kirkpatrick smiled, "Interesting.  I always figured you would
end up with Joey.  But, you two do make a cute couple," and with that she
walked out of the door, waving good-bye.  Lance shut the door and shook his
head, grinning.
	JC came up behind and put his arms around Lance.  Lance relished
the hug for a second, before turning around, "So, what are our plans for
today?"
	JC eyed Chris' door, "We have nurse duty.  We're splitting up the
time and Joey's got a lunch date with Drew and J's dad is in town for the
day.  So, I told them we'd take the early shift," JC saw Lance's
disappointed expression, "Well, it should make us free tonight to spend
some quality time together without having to worry about being
interrupted."
	Lance smiled.  It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of Chris
- he loved the guy and would do anything for him - but, he wanted to spend
as much time with Josh as possible, since he knew once the tour started,
their relationship would not be the primary focus for either of them.  But,
he guessed he would be with JC, even if it meant staying in.  So, he hugged
JC close, "That's great.  But, I refuse to wear a candy-striper outfit!"
	It turned out that there really wasn't much to do.  Besides giving
him his medicine every four hours, the guys just left Chris pretty much
alone.  This first shift was good, because he was still sleeping off the
drugs and he had no real appetite.  So, he slept and JC and Lance sat in
the living room Lance reclined in JC's lap, watching TV.
	There wasn't anything on, so Lance switched off the TV and turned
to face JC, "I'm bored.  Let's do something".
	JC brushed a hair off of Lance's cheek, "What can we do hon?  We're
stuck here until dinnertime".
	Lance got up and went to the kitchen.  He opened a drawer and
pulled out a deck of cards.  JC whined, "You know I hate card games!  I
suck at them".
	Lance sat down on the other side of the coffee table, "Well, then,
it'll be fun for me when I take all your clothes".
	JC's eyes opened wide, "You wanna play strip poker?"
	Lance shook his head, "Don't really know poker all that well.  I
thought we could play Strip Go-Fish."
	JC laughed, "You're kidding?  How would that work?"  Lance thought,
"Well, everytime someone gets a pair, the other person has to take
something off.  How's that sound?"
	JC scooted onto the floor, "Sure, but you must know I was the
Chasez Family Go Fish Champion for three years running".
	Lance started shuffling, "I thought you said you sucked at these
games?"
	JC replied, "Well, those three years were from age 9-11.  It's been
awhile."
	Lance started dealing and the game began.  Immediately, JC had a
pair in his hand and tossed it down on the table.  Lance frowned and pulled
off his shoe.  He was suddenly glad he had put them on.
	The game continued and JC seemed to be getting pair after pair.  In
less than ten minutes, Josh had 11 pairs to Lance's two.  Lance was down to
only his boxers.  And as JC pulled another card from the deck, Lance saw on
his face what was about to happen.  JC smirked and tossed a pair of twos on
the table and loudly emoted, "Time to pay the piper, nudeboy!"
	Lance threw his cards on the table, "This isn't fair!"
	JC reached across the table and grabbed Lance's hand, "Come on.
You know you wanna show me".
	Lance did love taking off his clothes in front of JC and he rose
up.  JC held up his hand, "Wait.  I think you need some mood music".  He
ran to the stereo and switched it to a blues station.  Lance shot JC an
ugly gLance.  JC giggled and pointed to his lover, "Now, dance I said!"
	Lance did like to be naked in front of JC, but he didn't like to
dance around him by himself.  Still, he was getting into the idea upon
seeing JC's intense gaze and knowing how much he wanted it.  Lance began
swaying his hips around, which JC laughed at.  Lance was slightly offended
until he gLanced at himself in the mirror over the fireplace.  He did look
kind of silly in his Mickey Mouse boxers, shaking his bon bon.
	Still, Lane tried to remain serious and turned back to JC.  He made
his way over to the floor lamp in the corner and began using it as a pole.
This caused JC to burst out laughing even harder and Lance gave up any
sembLance of seriousness.  He began riding the lamp and soon made his way
to the couch.  He jumped on it and started shaking his crotch in JC's face.
JC reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill, which he shoved
down Lance's boxers.  Of course, it fell right through them and onto the
floor.
	Lance jumped down and got on all fours.  He bent down and picked up
the dollar with his teeth.  He turned around and growled at JC, who was now
rolling on the floor.  Lance spit out the dollar and crawled over to JC and
began humping him like a dog.  JC was laughing so hard, Lance was afraid he
would pee in his pants.
	So, Lance backed off and stood up.  JC sat up also, tears running
down his face.  Lance continued his faux-erotic dancing and reached a hand
down to his waistband.  He lowered it slightly, revealing his hips to JC,
who began hooting and hollering at him.  Lance turned around and lowered
his underwear slowly, revealing his butt.  Soon, he had them all the way
down to his knees and he bent over, mooning JC.
	Suddenly, he heard a noise from across the room and he swung around
to see Chris standing there, a dazed expression on his face.  Lance quickly
pulled up his pants.  JC switched off the music and Chris just stood there,
staring at them.  Finally, he muttered, "Please tell me it's the medicine".
	JC went over to Chris while Lance got dressed, "Is everything okay
buddy?"
	Chris responded, "Nope, I just wanted some water".
	JC sat Chris down on the sofa, "Well, I'll get it for you.  Just
relax."  He went into the kitchen as Lance finished dressing and sat down.
	Chris just smiled at him, "Nice ass, Scoop".
	Lane blushed as JC returned with the water.  Chris downed it and
stood up, "Well, back to bed.  You two may continue your reenactment of
'Showgirls'".
	Chris returned to his room.  JC sat down next to Lance.  Lance
sighed, "Enough of the card games".
	JC squeezed Lance, "Yep, but you still owe me a full monty, hon".
	Lance turned to him, "Oh don't worry.  You'll get that and a lot
more tonight".
	They sat in silence and JC turned to Lance, "Do you ever think we
do it too much?"
	Lance sat up, "You mean sex?"
	JC nodded, "I mean we always do it at least once a day and usually
more than that".
	Lance hadn't given it much thought.  He liked it so much, and he
always craved it.  But, he knew what JC meant and tried to explain, "Well,
it's not all about sex, you know.  I mean, sure I love making love with
you, but it's not because I get off.  It's because I get to be close to
you.  I get to share something with you that no one else does.  That's
pretty special to me."
	JC felt secure and leaned back into Lance's chest.  Lance kissed
the top of his head, "I love that I'm the only one."
	JC sat up and deadpanned, "Yep.  You and Britney".
	Lance pushed JC off the couch, "You prick!  Better not let J hear
you say that".
	JC got up on his knees and faced Lance, resting his head in his
lap, "I'm kidding!  You know you're the only one for me".
	Lance knew it and as he caressed JC's hair, he smiled.  He knew
what they had was right.  He knew all that really mattered was his love for
JC and vice-versa.  And he knew it would last forever.

I know not much happened, but I am still kinda proud of this chapter...I
just like the writing (is that too egotistical?)...anyway, stay tuned for
more stories and write me!
