Subject: Nick and Justin part 4

Ok, here's part four of the story.  I hope everyone is enjoying it thus far.
By the way, i'm not implying anything about the sexuality of any of the
members of the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync...no matter what many of us hope.
By the way, if anyone in the bands read these, i love your music and would
love any kind of feedback or response!  Hey, we all can hope, can't we? :o)
Well, without further ado, here's part four.

******************************************************************************
********************

	Justin woke up with a start.  He looked around the dark room and at
the person who was holding him.  Glancing over at the clock he saw it was
only four in the morning.  He closed his eyes and snuggled closer to Nick.
Nick pulled him closer and Justin began to shiver a little.  The vibrations
from his lover eventually caused Nick to wake up.

	"Are you alright baby?"  Nick asked a little groggily.

	"Yea, I'm just a little cold," Justin replied through chattering
teeth.  He snuggled as close to Nick as he could but felt no better.  He was
drenched in sweat.  Nick woke up more and saw Justin was shivering quite
badly.

	"You're freezing, aren't you?"  Justin nodded.  "Hm, let's see now."
He walked over to the thermostat and turned the heat up to 70 degrees.  Then
he walked over to his suitcase and pulled out a black sweatshirt and matching
sweatpants.  "Here, put these on.  As wonderful as you look without anything,
I think you'd be more comfortable with this on." Nick joked.  He walked voer
to Justin and gently pulled the sweatshirt over his head.  He looked down and
saw Justin was not wearing any underwear.  He grinned and put the sweatpants
on him.  "This is quite sexy you know," he said matter of factly.  Justin
giggled and felt a little better.  "Now, you come here."  Nick crawled into
the bed and pulled Justin really close to him.  Then he tucked them both in
with all the blankets he could.  "Does this feel better?"

	"Much.  I've stopped shivering."  Justin closed his eyes and got even
closer to Nick.

	"I noticed cutey."  Nick began to hum a lullabye as Justin gently
drifted back to sleep in Nick's tender arms.  Nick watched all this and felt
an odd feeling in the pit of his stomach.  'I love him so much,' he thought
to himself.  'He looks so peaceful there.  My little angel.'  Nick layed his
head on top of Justins and slowly nodded off.

	At prescisely nine in the morning, the phone in Nick's room rang.
Nick tried to pick it up, but was occupied with a sleeping Justin in his
arms.  He smiled as he struggled to pull one of his arms free.  Justin had
other ideas and snuggled with it as if it was a teddy bear.  Nick laughed out
loud and pulled his other arm free, finally picking up the phone.

	"Took you long enough," Kevin said.

	"I was kind of tied up,"Nick replied with a laugh.
	
	"What do you...oh never mind, I don't want to know.  I take it last
ngiht went well then?"

	"Kevin, you are wonderful!  Thank you so much for setting the room up
for me.  It was great.  Last night was one fo the happiest of my life."
	
	"Well I'm glad i could help with that in some way.  Listen, everyone
is meeting in here for breakfast in half an hour or so.  Why dont you guys
come over?"

	"Sure thing.  I just have to get sleeping beauty up over here.  We'll
be there soon."

	Nick hung up the phone.  He stared down at the sleeping angel in his
arms.  "God you're beautiful," he said aloud.  He knew he had to get them up.
 "Justin...honey....time to wake up."

	"I don't wanna."  Justin pulled the blankets over his head and
latched himself around Nick's waist.  Nick laughed, but pulled back the
blanket revealing Justin.  He was grinning widely and looking up at Nick.

	"You get back up here!" Nick laughed.  Justin slowly came up and
kissed Nick on the mouth.  "Ew, morning breath!"

	"Hey!" Justin yelled, hitting Nick with the pillow.  Nick put his
hands on Justin's waist and began to tickle.  Justin burst out laughing and
begged for Nick to stop.  They finally fell off each other and Nick told
Justin that they had to be at Kevin's room shortly.  Justin groaned.  "By the
way...I'm keeping this,"  Justin laughed, indicating the black sweat suit he
was wearing.

	"Oh are you now?" Nick replied with a smile.

	"Yea, it's warm and cozy and it smells like you.  I'll get you a new
one, I promise."  He ran over and gave Nick a kiss on the cheek.  Nick smiled
and walked over to his suitcase, pulling out a pair of sweatpants, which were
green and a black t-shirt.  He grabbed Justin's hand and together they walked
down the hall to Kevin's room.

	Kevin was just stepping out when they reached his room.  "Oh hey...I
was just going to go you guys.  We've got a lot of food in there, so I hope
you're hungry."

	"I've got quite an appetite," Nick said under his breathe.  Kevin
gave him an odd look and Justin laughed.  They walked into his room and over
to the table where the food was.  They each grabbed a plate and piled on the
food.  They each had eggs, sausage, bacon and toast.  Together, they walked
to the bedroom area and sat down on the floor.

	Justin looked around the room and saw that something was definitely
wrong.  JC sat in one corner.  He was picking at a piece of toast.  His eyes
were a little red.  "Hey JC, you alright," he asked.  JC didn't look up.  He
looked around at the other guys who kind of shrugged their shoulders.  "JC?"
JC looked up at him with tears in his eyes.  He started to open his mouth,
more tears welling in his eyes.  He stood up quickly and ran out of the room.
 Everyone looked at each other.  Justin looked at Nick who motioned for him
to go after JC.  Justin squeezed Nick's hand and quickly exited the room.
	
	Justin stepped out into the hall and saw JC fumbling with his trying
to open the door to his room.  Tears were pouring down his face and he was
having trouble breathing.  Justin ran over to him and pulled him into a tight
embrace.  JC put his head on Justin's shoulder and cried loudly.  Justin took
the key from JC's hand and got the door to the room open.  JC walked in with
Justin close behind him.

	"Now," Justin said, closing the door.  "What is wrong JC?  Come on,
you can trust me.  We've been best buds forever.  I'm here for you."  JC
threw his arms around Justin and cried louder.  "Come on..."
	
	"Justin...I'm.....I.....I'm gay," JC said.  Justin looked at him.

	"Is that what this is all about?  You're gay?  JC, there's nothing
wrong with that.  Look who you're tlaking to here!"  Justin laughed a little
and JC smiled a little.  "That's what i like to see on my best buddy."

	"But...I mean...i remember how hard it was for you when you came out.
 And you always have to keep your private life a secret now.  It would just
be so much easier if I was straight."

	"Look JC...you need to do what will make you happy.  You can't live
your life for other people."  Justin looked him right in the eye.  "I may be
younger than you, but I do know a few things."  They both smiled.  JC gave
him a quick hug and then said it was time to go back to the rest of the guys.

	"Are you going to come out to them?"  Justin asked seriously.

	"I don't know yet.  I know I will at some point.  Maybe after the
concert."  They walked down the hall back to Kevin's where they found
everyone still stuffing their faces.

	"We should all look like a bunch of pigs by now, you guys know that,"
 Justin joked.

	"Come here...punch my stomach!" AJ called out.  Justin agreed, walked
over and gave it a punch.  Solid as a rock.  "Thought so!"  Everyone laughed.
 Justin walked over and sat down right in Nick's lap.

	"Well hello there cutey!"  Nick kissed him quickly on the lips.  When
he pulled back he saw JC was staring at them.  He smiled.  "Are you doing ok
now JC?"

	"I'm doing a lot better thanks to Curly."  Everyone gave Justin a
look, but not wanting to pry, they let the topic drop.  Except for Lance.

	"What was wrong JC?"

	"Let's just let it alone for now.  I'm sure he'll tell all of us when
he's good and ready," Justin replied.

	"Look, I'm just a little curious, that's all.  I mean he was like a
zombie all morning and I like to know that everything is ok with my friends."

	"Lance, just let it go right now...please,"  Justin replied, looking
at Lance with wide eyes.

	"No, Justin, it's ok," JC said, watching the two go at it.  Everyone
in the room was staring at him.  "Well, it's just that I came to terms with
something a short time ago.  It's just that...well...I'm gay."

	Everyone in the room stared at him.  Brian and Lance's jaws hung wide
open.  "You're what?" Brian managed to say quietly.

	"I'm gay," JC said with a few tears in his eyes.  Joey and Chris both
got up.  JC looked at them and thought they were leaving.  More tears sprang
to his eyes.  To his surprise they walked over and put their arms around him.

	
	"It's ok!  Come on, we were pretty cool when Justin and Nick came
out, why wouldn't we be there for you?" Joey looked JC right in his eyes.  JC
smiled.  Soon the rest of the guys were giving him they're support, telling
him that whatever makes him happy would make them happy as well.  Nick put
his hand to JC cheek and wiped his tears away.  JC looked up at Justin who
simply nodded.  JC smiled and gave Nick a hug.

	"Whatever makes you happy bud.  I just hope you can find as great a
guy as I did."  Nick pulled back and walked over to Justin, putting his arm
around his shoulder.  JC smiled at the happy couple.

	Brian sat where he was, still speechless.  "He's gay...."

	"Come on cuz, we gotta get ready and then head out to practice for
the concert tonight!"

	"I'm coming," Brian whispered as he left the room.

	Nick and Justin entered their room and quickly shut the door behind
them.  "You guys have 30 minutes before we're meeting in the lobby!" Kevin
yelled through.

	"Yes daddy!" they yelled back in unison.  Nick reached over for
Justin's hand and held it tightly.  They pulled into a hug and held each
other tightly.

	"Did you enjoy last night," Nick asked.

	'It was the happiest night of my life," Justin replied, laying his
head on Nick's shoulder.  Nick leaned down and kissed the top of Justin's
head.  "We should get ready before Kevin kicks our asses."
	
	"I'll protect you!" Nick yelled as he flexed.  Justin started
laughing and fell to the floor.  "Hey, what are you laughing at?"  Nick
asked.  "I'll give you something to laugh at!"  He began to tickle Justin
again.  After a couple minutes of torture they rolled off of each other.
"Yea, i guess we should get ready.  I'm gonna shower quickly.  You're welcome
to join me!"

	Justin laughed and then said, "Then we'd never get down there!"  Nick
laughed and then ran into the bathroom.  Five minutes later he emerged
totally naked.  "Oh, i like," Justin said exotically.  Nick turned red and
pulled on a pair of green boxer-briefs.  "Now those are quite sexy."

	"You better shower too," Nick said, hoping that justin would come out
of the bathroom naked as well.  Justin agreed and ran into the bathroom.  A
few minutes later he emerged...fully clothed.  "Aw, come on!" Nick whined.
Justin laughed and pulled off his sweatshirt and pants.  He was wearing no
underwear.  "Now that is a site for soar eyes!."  Justin giggled before
throwing on a pair of baby blue briefs.  "Those frame you well," Nick said,
admiring Justin's backside.

	"Do you ever stop!"  Justin laughed as he bent down to pick up a pair
of jeans.

	Nick slapped his ass lightly and then said "Nope."  Justin laughed
and then pulled on a pair of loose fitting jeans and a white button down
gauze shirt.  Nick also pulled on a pair of jeans but pulled on a black
sweater vest.

	"Now that looks very sexy," Justin whistled.  Nick grabbed his hand
and pulled him out into the hall, closing the door behind them.  The other
guys were in the hallway, minus Brian..

	"Where is this guy," Kevin asked, obviously annoyed.

	"I'll check his room and then we'll meet you guys in the lobby."  He
gave Justin a smile and then ran off to Brians room.

	"Well, i guess we're heading to the lobby.  Come on guys."  Justin
led the way towards where the elevators were.

	Nick ran down the hall and knocked on Brians door.  "Come on B-rok,
whatcha doing in there?!?"  He could hear someone walking inside Brians room.
 The door opened quickly, an arm reached out and yanked Nick inside.  "What
are you doing?!?" Nick yelled.  He looked at Brians face and saw that he was
deep in thought.  "Come on, what's up?"

	Brian looked Nick right in the eye and then kissed him passionately
on the lips.

	Nick looked at him stunned.  He had not kissed Brian back, but he had
every intention of finding out why Brian had kissed him.  "What was that for?"

	"HE"S GAY!!!!" Brian yelled.

	"Would you keep it down.  I'm not sure the front desk heard you
clearly!" Nick replied sarcastically.  He had known for a while that Brian
was gay.  They had come out to each other a while back.  But he had never
heard Brian so excited about a guy before.

	'Nicky...do you understand this?  JC is gay!  I do have a chance with
him!"

	"Hold up there Bri...you have a thing for JC?"

	"Oh my god yes! I have for weeks now.  But i never imagined he could
be gay!  This means that i really do have a chance with him.  He spun around
the room and landed on the bed.

	"Brian...you just sounded like a 13 year old girl," Nick laughed.  He
quickly got a pillow in the face.  "Oh no you don't!"  He jumped on top of
Brian and began to wrestle with him.  "Say uncle!" he ordered!

	"Uncle," Brian laughed.  Nick got off of him and straightened himself
out.

	"Now, get ready and be downstairs in five minutes.  The rest of the
guys have been waiting."

	"Yes sir!" Brian laughed.

	Nick closed the door to Brian's room and leaned against it.  How
could he be falling for JC, he thought to himself.  He didn't have feelings
for Brian, but he just couldn't see the two of them together.  He started to
walk down towards the elevator when the doors opened and Justin bounded out
of it.

	"Hey you," he called to Nick.  Nick was a little surprised to see
him, but got over his initial shock and gave a bright smile.  Justin walked
over and gave him a hug.  "So what was up with Brian?"

	"He was just running late.  Come on, let's go back down with the rest
of the guys.  He'll only be a minute."  Justin gave him a funny look, but
shrugged his shoulders and together they walked into the elevator.  Nick put
his arm around Justin's shoulder.  They walked out into the lobby where the
other guys were waiting.

	"Brian will be down in a minute.  He was just running a little late."
Nick said unconvincingly.  Kevin shot him a look and Nick just shook his head
slightly.  Kevin was about to ask Nick what he meant when Brian stepped into
the lobby.  He was wearing a pair of jeans that didn't leave much to the
imagination and a tight fitting white v-neck t-shirt.

	"Sorry I'm late, I was-"

	"Pouring yourself into your jeans," AJ laughed.  Brian shot him a
look and then glanced over at JC.

	Kevin quickly cleared his throat and everyone looked up at him.  "Ok,
we need to get to the arena now you guys.  Come on."  Everyone went to the
back of the hotel where two limos were waiting.  Justin, Nick, JC, Brian, and
Lance hopped in one, while the other guys entered the other.  Nick had one
arm around Justin and Justin's head was on his shoulder.  They sat on one
bench.  Brian, JC and Lance were on another.

	"So, JC...how does it feel to come out like that," Brian asked
suddenly.

	"Umm, it's good i guess.  It really wasn't something i enjoyed
doing."  JC's face had turned bright red and he looked down at the floor.

	Brian lifted a finger to his chin and picked his face up.  "You know
I'm here for you.  If you ever need anything, all you need to do is ask."
Brian spoke slow and softly.  Lance glared at him with anger.  Justin and
Nick were both too shocked to speak.

	"Thanks Bri, I'll keep that in mind," JC replied with a big smile.
Brian smiled back and put his hands in his lap and began to gaze out the
window with a satisifed smile.

	Justin looked up at Nick with a questioning look.  Nick gave him a
look that said he'd explain later.  Justin put his head back on Nick's
shoulder.  Brian couldn't possibly have a thing for JC could he?  And why did
Lance look so angry during Brian's little outburst?  He closed his eyes as
the limo sped towards the arena.

	Justin awoke to Nick shaking him slightly.  "Come on, we're here."
Justin nodded and got up.  "Guess I really did tire you out last night," Nick
said with a laugh.
	
	Justin grinned and nodded his head.  Nick helped him from the limo.
The other guys were all standing around the door.  There was a mob of fans,
already there for the concert.  They were each screaming the name of their
favorite Backstreet Boy or N'Sync member.  The guys looked around nervously.

	"This many people around me makes me nervous," JC said.

	"Yea, me too.  Will you protect me?" Brian asked of JC.  He looked
back and smiled weakly.  "Umm, sure."  Brian stood behind JC and "hid" behind
his back.  Everyone laughed and Brian kissed JC on the back of the neck
quickly so no one saw.  JC spun around and looked at him.  There was a huge
smile painted across Brian's face.  JC just looked at him confused.

	"Come on guys, time to practice,"  Howie spoke up.  	The guys
walked towards the doors to the arena, stopping briefly to sign autographs or
take photos with fans.  After about twenty minutes the finally got inside, to
where Fatima had her hands on her hips and was tapping her foot.

	"So, you guys decided to show up," she said sarcastically.

	AJ walked up to her and threw his arms around her.  "We missed you
too honey!!!"  She slapped his arm and told him to go stretch.  "Backstreet
Boys start stretching.  N'Sync, you guys are doing sound checks."  Nick
kissed Justin lightly on the cheek.

	"I'll miss you honey," Nick said.  Justin blushed and told him he
would miss him too.

	Brian walked over to JC and did the same thing.  "I'll miss you too
JC," he said as he planted a kiss on his cheek.  JC grabbed his cheek and
watched as Brian ran off with the other guys.  Justin noticed what went on
and ran over to JC.

	"Um, JC, what's going on with you and Brian."

	"I have no idea.  I mean, ever since I said I was gay he's been like
all over me or something."

	"Well...how do you feel about it," Justin asked, putting his hand on
JC's shoulder.

	"I don't know.  I mean I have had thoughts about Brian before, but
it's so strange when you start to get osmething that you thought you wanted.
I don't know what i want right now.  I don't want to start something with
Brian purely for the experience.  If i do decide to get with Brian, i want it
because I know I am definitely attracted to him."

	"That's a good choice.  Don't rush into anything too soon," Justin
replied.

	"Say, when did you get so smart?" Jc said as he began lightly
punching Justin.

	"Well, I had a good teacher."  JC smiled and then said, "Come on, we
gotta go do a sound check."  They ran off towards the stage and began to test
the mics and run through some numbers.

	Meanwhile Fatima was having a field day with the Backstreet Boys.

	"AJ!  What's going on today?  Forget how to walk?"  She joked.  AJ
had fallen down on the same move three times now.

	"We can't all be as gifted and FABULOUS as you!" he joked.

	"Damn right!  Now get off your ass and we'll do this in slow motion.
Step, cross, step heal.  Step cross step heal," she said as she picked up
AJ's feet to maneuver him through the move.

	"OH!!!  Why didn't you just say that!"  Fatima growled at his humor
and he quickly jumped back before he got another smack.  The rest of the guys
were laughing.

	"Ok, let's run this thing.  If there are no more slip ups," she said
looking at AJ, "then you guys can get a break."

	They ran the dance perfectly without a hitch.  "Ok, you guys have an
hour break while i work with the N'Sync guys.  The guys from N'Sync began to
walk over to her.  "Come here you guys,"  she said beckoning to them with her
finger.  "You guys are going to show these chumps here how to really dance,
right?"

	"Oh yea, definitely.  We have the only Mr. Smooth here," Chris joked
as he playfully punched Joey.  The guys laughed as Nick quickly pulled Justin
over to the side.

	"What is it," Justin asked quickly.

	"I just wanted to say I love you!"  Nick leaned down and gave Justin
a long passionate kiss on the lips.  Soon their lips parted and Justin's
tongue entered Nick's mouth.

	"MMM, well that was quite a kiss!"

	"Tell me about it!" Nick said.  He pulled Justin into a hug as Fatima
approached them.

	"Excuse me Nick, but I need your baby.  We're trying to work here,"
she said as she grabbed Justin's hand.  She yanked and pulled Justin over to
where the other guys were dancing.  Nick only laughed and watched as the
N'Sync guys danced.  They were actually very good.  He kept watching until he
noticed Brian watching them as well.  He slowly walked over to his friend.

	"Hey Bri, what's up?"
	
	"Isn't he great," Brian asked.

	"He sure is," Nick replied, thinking he was talking about Justin.

	"No, not your baby," Brian replied, giving Nick an odd look.  "My
Baby!"

	Nick looked to where Brian was motioning.  It was JC.  "Brian, JC
isn't exactly your baby yet.  You need to talk this out with him."

	"I know...but even so.  God he's great."

	They continued to watch the guys dance.  Nick didn't know what to
tell Brian.  All he knew was that Brian had his heart set on getting JC.
'What the hell are we going to do?' Nick thought to himself.

OK, there's part four!  I hope you guys enjoyed it!  Now, survey time for
those of you who would care to respond.  What would you think of JC and Brain
