Subject: Nick and Justin part 9

Welcome to the ninth installment of Nick and Justin.  I hope everyone who is 
reading this story has found it to be enjoyable thus far.  As always, feel 
free to send all comments and suggestions to Mike at BrwyMilo@aol.com.  Also, 
I don't intend to imply anything about the sexuality of any of the people 
involved in this story.  This is a work of fiction thought up in my head.  
That said, enjoy the story!

				*********************
	
	Nick slowly looked at Justin and swallowed hard.  "Britney is your 
girlfriend?"  He felt tears well up in his eyes.  Justin could only look at 
the ground.  Nick sniffled a bit and then ran off into a sound room.  JC 
looked once at Brian and then quickly followed Nick.

	"What's his problem," Britney asked with a giggle.  She reached out 
and took Justin's hand and then threw her arms around his neck.  "I've missed 
you so much tiger!"

	"Tiger?!?" Joey laughed.  Justin turned a deep shade of red, but 
never cracked a smile.  Leigh Anne walked over to Brian and put her arms 
around his neck.  She kissed him on the mouth, but he didn't return the kiss. 
 Both he and Justin withdrew a little and looked around nervously.

	"Britney, what are you really doing here," Justin asked slowly, his 
eyes never leaving the floor.  

	"Well, it was supposed to be a surprise, but I'm touring with you," 
she said as she hugged Justin tighter.  Justin never returned the hug, but 
allowed tears to slowly run down his cheeks.

	"Guys, I think maybe we should leave these four alone," Kevin said.  
The others quickly echoed in agreement.  "We'll be in the cafeteria when you 
guys are done."

	Britney waited until the guys were gone before dropping her arms.  
"OK now Justin, what's wrong with you?  I thought you'd be happy to see me or 
something?  What?  You don't want me here?"

	"Yea!  Same goes for you Brian Littrell.  Aren't you glad to see me?" 
 Leigh Anne dropped her arms as she spoke.  Brian and Justin stared at the 
ground and tried to hold back their tears.

	Britney walked over to Justin and lifted up his head with her hand.  
He quickly jerked his head to his side.  "Look, Britney, I don't know how to 
tell you this."  Britney dropped her hand.  "I'm in love with someone else."  
Britney gasped and tears welled up in her eyes.

	"What do you mean you're in love with someone else," she asked in a 
quivering voice.

	"I don't know what I felt for you a while ago, but I know it wasn't 
love. I think maybe I was trying to convince myself that I loved you.  But 
now I know it wasn't.  I love you as a friend Britney.  A very good friend.  
But I could never love you any other way."  Justin never looked at her as he 
spoke.  Tears were still streaming down his face.  Finally he looked up and 
saw Britney crying slightly.

	"Who is she," she asked slowly.

	"Britney, please don't ask that."

	Britney looked up in anger.  "What do you mean don't ask that?!?  You 
just tell me that you're in love with someone else and you don't expect me to 
ask who it is?!?  It doesn't work that way Justin."

	Justin cried harder.  He slid down the wall and brought his knees up 
to his chest.  Brian sat down next to him and put an arm around his shoulder.

	"Oh my God," Leigh Anne gasped. Everyone looked at her.  She brought 
her hands up to her mouth in shock.  "They're gay.  You guys are in love with 
each other, aren't you?"

	"What!" Britney yelled in amazement.  She looked at the two men on 
the floor.  "Oh God Justin, I'm so sorry!  I never would have went off on you 
like that if I knew."  She knelt down and gave Justin a hug.  "It's OK if 
you're gay," she said as she hugged him.  "I'll love you no matter what.  
Strictly as a friend.  I still have feelings for you, but if you and Brian 
are happy together, then I can learn to respect that."  She quickly stammered 
out her sentence, trying to get Justin to stop crying.  Ever since they met, 
the site of him crying was enough to break her heart into a million pieces.

	Brian and Justin looked at each other and laughed.  "No, we're not in 
love  guys," Brian spoke up. 

	"With each other, that is," Justin quickly added.  He wiped his eyes 
with the back of his hand.

	"OK, then, what is it?"  Leigh Anne had placed her hands on her hips 
and begun tapping her foot.

	"Well, you were right about us being gay.  We both are."  Brian 
glanced up at Leigh Anne and saw her frowning.  

	"But we're not in love with each other."  Justin looked at Britney 
and saw her smiling slightly.

	"Who is it?!  Are they in the bands with you guys?" Britney asked, 
slightly excited.  Brian and Justin laughed at her.

	"Yea, they're both in the bands with us," Justin said.  "You know 
Nick Carter, right?  From the Backstreet Boys?"

	"Of course I do!" Britney laughed.

	"Wait a second," Leigh Anne said suddenly.  "Are you telling me that 
you and Nick are in love?"

	Justin nodded as Britney laughed.  "Well at least you've got good 
taste!"

	"You're enjoying this far too much Britney," Justin laughed.  He 
threw a look at Leigh Anne who still appeared to be in total shock and 
frowned at Brian.

	"I'm seeing JC, Leigh Anne.  As in JC from N'Sync.  I love him."  
Brian looked down at the ground and then back up at her.  She was still 
frowning.

	"Look, I'm not gonna lie to you Brian.  I am not happy about this and 
I don't know how you can be either Britney.  But there's nothing I can do 
about it right Brian?  You're gay.  Believe me though, I would really love to 
change that."  She was obviously steaming with anger, but knew that she could 
do nothing about it at that time.  

	"But you can't change it," Brian said.  "No one can.  It wasn't a 
choice.  But it's a part of me and it let me be with JC.  So, it's a part of 
me I love."

	"We need to ask a favor of you guys though," Justin said.  "You can't 
tell anyone about this.  The rest of the guys know and are cool about it, and 
my mom knows, but no one else does.  So please, you can't let this leak out."

	"I promise," Britney said.

	They all looked up at Leigh Anne.  "I promise too," she replied 
slowly.  

	"Oh guys!  That's why Nick and JC ran off isn't it," Britney said.  
"Damn, we must have really hurt their feelings."  

	"We're gonna go try to rectify that now actually," Justin said as he 
stood up.  "Why don't you guys go to the cafeteria and tell the guys we'll be 
there in a bit?"

	With that, Britney and Leigh Anne walked towards the cafeteria, 
Britney giggling and Leigh Anne moping.  Justin and Brian braced themselves 
and walked to the room Nick and JC had run into.  Justin opened the door and 
saw Nick crying hysterically on JC's shoulder.  Justin instantly ran over and 
threw his arms around Nick.  Nick pulled back a little and got up.  He walked 
over to a big leather recliner and plopped down.  Brian stood in the doorway 
and looked over at JC with pleading in his eyes.  

	"Brian, let's go into another room and talk.  Leave these guys 
alone."  With that, JC walked right by Brian and into a room across the hall. 
 Brian sighed heavily and closed the door behind him as he followed.  

	"Nick?" Justin walked over to where Nick was sitting.  Nick wouldn't 
look at him, but stared straight ahead.  Justin felt tears welling up in his 
eyes as he slowly knelt down at Nick's feet.  "Nick please look at me."  His 
voice was barely a whimper.  Nick stared straight ahead and allowed streams 
of tears to roll down his cheeks.  Justin laid his head down on Nick's knees 
and cried into them.  "Please Nick.  I am not seeing Britney anymore.  I told 
her about us."  Nick looked down at him and nodded.  "I told her I never 
loved her.  I really didn't Nick.  I was going out with her as a cover and 
because I felt bad when she told me she liked me.  I haven't seen her in 
months though.  I told her about us as soon as I could.  She even laughed 
about it."  He looked up at Nick's face.  "She said at least I have good 
taste."  With that Nick smiled slightly.

	"You do have very good taste," Nick said.  He placed a hand on top of 
Justin's head and rubbed his fingers through Justin's curls.  Then he pulled 
Justin up onto the chair with him and held him in his lap.  "I just get 
jealous I guess.  You have all these people in love with you and I'm afraid 
you're going to realize you'd rather be with one of them that with me."  Nick 
kissed Justin quickly on his cheek.  "I don't know what I'd do without my 
Baby."

	"I could never live without you Nick.  I'm afraid you're stuck with 
me forever."  Justin smiled and kissed Nick passionately.  

	"So she really was laughing about it," Nick said with a grin.  Justin 
laughed.

	"Hysterically!  Leigh Anne was a bit more upset though."  

	Nick groaned.  "I've always hated that girl.  You don't know how 
happy I was when Brian told me he was gay and that the thing with Leigh Anne 
was just a cover."

	"Yea, from what I've seen, I don't like her too much either," Justin 
agreed.  "But I don't think we'll be seeing to much more of her anyway," he 
added with a laugh.

	"Do you wanna check in with Brian and JC," Nick asked.  Justin agreed 
and hand-in-hand they walked across the hall.  The door was slightly ajar, so 
they pushed it open the rest of the way.  When they looked inside, they saw 
Brian laying on top of JC, kissing him passionately on the lips.

	Nick quickly cleared his throat.  "So you decided to forgive him too, 
hey JC?"

	Brian quickly jumped up as JC laughed.  "How could you not?  Look how 
cute he is!"  He gently squeezed Brian's cheeks as Brian smiled widely.

	"Well you guys can finish up what you were doing later.  We'd better 
get back to the rest of the guys before they begin to get worried."

	The four of them walked down the hall towards the cafeteria, each 
couple holding hands.  Nick gave Justin's hand a squeeze and mouthed the 
words 'I love you'.  Justin smiled widely and whispered 'I love you too."
	
						***********************

	"I still can't believe they're gay," Leigh Anne said.  They had all 
gone back to either their respective hotels or houses after the recording 
session in order to get some rest for the rehearsal the following day.  Joey, 
Lance, Chris and AJ were staying in the hotel as they didn't feel like going 
home.  Considering the day's events, Britney thought it would be best to just 
head over to her hotel rather than go to Justin's.  Leigh Anne was spending 
the night at Britney's hotel room rather than go home.

	"Oh, I know, but you have to admit, they do make two pretty cute 
couples"  Britney sat brushing her hair in front of the mirror.

	"Who cares if they look cute with their new boyfreinds!  Our 
boyfriends are gay!  How can you take this so lightly?"

	Britney sighed and turned around to face her.  "Leigh Anne, I knew 
Justin and I weren't going to last.  Our lives are far too hectic right now.  
Hell, I think I even knew he was gay!  Bottom line is, we have to move on 
from them."

	"Well maybe I don't want to move on," Leigh said, her eyes down.

	"You don't really have that option.  Brian is in love with JC, just 
as Justin is in love with Nick.  Now come on," Britney said as she walked 
over to where Leigh Anne sat.  "There are some pretty hot guys still 
available."

	"You know, Lance is pretty cute..."

	"Oh, I know!  Those eyes!"  Britney grinned.  "Why don't you go for 
Lance?"

	"Maybe..."

	Just then, there was a knock on the door.  Britney sighed and opened 
it.  Lance was on the other side.  Britney ran back to the bed and jumped on 
it, hysterical laughing.

	"Um, you OK?" Lance said as he studied the scene.

	Britney just kept laughing and nodded.  Leigh Anne turned bright red 
and got up.  "She's just a little hyper I guess.  So, what are you doing here 
cutey?"  She ran her fingers through Lance's hair and noticed he got very 
nervous.  "I don't make you nervous do I?"  She glanced back at Britney who 
was staring at her with a mix of awe and amusement.

	"No," was all he could stutter out.  Britney giggled from her bed.  
Leigh Anne turned and looked at to shut her up.  

	"You know Lance, now that Brian's found someone else, I'm available.  
What do you say we go out sometime?  You know, on a date."

	Lance turned bright red.  "I don't think that would work."

	Leigh Anne began to pout.  "Aw, why not Lance?"

	"Because I'm gay."

	Leigh Anne froze and Britney instantly stopped laughing.  Then, Leigh 
Anne ran to the door, threw it open and screamed into the hallway.

	"ARE ALL YOU GUYS GAY?!?!?!?!?  IS THIS SOME CRUEL JOKE OR SOMETHING? 
 AM I IN THE TWIGHLIGHT ZONE?!?!?"  She ran over to a random room and began 
banging on the door.  "Help!"

	Joey threw the door open.  "What's wrong Leigh Anne?"

	Leigh Anne looked at him.  "Joey, are you straight?"

	"Um, yea.  Why?

	"TAKE ME!" She jumped up and threw her legs around his waist and her 
arms around his neck.  This knocked Joey backwards and she kicked the door 
closed behind them.

	Lance remained in Britney's room.  She was laughing hysterically and 
rolling around on the bed.  As he watched her he couldn't help but laugh as 
well.  After a few minutes, they stopped.

	"So, which one are you dating," Britney asked as she grabbed a pillow 
and placed it in her lap.

	"I'm not dating any of them."

	"Oh.  Which one do you want to date," she asked with a grin.

	Lance looked down and whispered a name.  "Which one," she asked again.

	"Justin," he said again.  Britney inhaled deeply and then patted a 
spot on the bed next to her.  Lance sat down and Britney quickly put her arm 
around him.  

	"Lance, trust me, I know what it's like to loose Justin.  It's 
definitely a hard thing to deal with.  I hate to say this, but he is very 
happy with Nick.  We both just have to get over him."

	"But I never even had him.  I've been in love with him for so long 
though!  I know I have to get over him, but I don't think I want to.  God, 
why do I love him so much?"  He put his hands up to his face and sobbed 
loudly.  Britney held him tighter and patted his back.

	"I know it hurts Lance.  But you have a lot going for you.  Ever go 
onto the Internet.  You have got fan pages all over the place!"

	"They love Lance Bass the N'Sync member.  No one knows who I am 
really."

	Britney sighed.  "It's the price you pay for fame Lance.  But I 
promise you, you will find someone who loves you for you."  Lance stopped 
crying and smiled slightly.  He nodded his head and hugged her.

	"I'd better get back to my room now.  Thanks for everything."  

	"Oh!  Wait a second Lance.  Why'd you come here anyway?"

	"I just wanted to say welcome to the tour."  He smiled and then 
walked to the door as Leigh Anne was entering.  "Hi Leigh Anne."  

	"Oh hey there.  Joey's a funny guy."  She laughed and headed over to 
where Britney was sitting.

	"You didn't!" Britney laughed.

	"Of course not!" Leigh Anne replied.  The two girls continued to 
laugh as Lance shut the door and headed back to his own room.

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

	Justin and Nick lay in their room, snuggling close as they listened 
to Justin's stereo system.  The were sitting on the floor in front of 
Justin's bed. Justin's head was laying in Nick's lap as Nick sat playing with 
his hair.  Justin sighed and smiled widely.

	"I love it when you play with my hair," he said softly.  Nick bent 
down and kissed him gently on the neck.  

	"And I love holding you like this," he said as he wrapped his strong 
arms around Justin.  "And kissing you like this."  He planted sweet kisses 
all down Justin's neck and shoulders.  "And I love massaging you."  He placed 
his hands on Justin's shoulders and began to kneed them with his hands.  
Justin moaned and sat up to give Nick better access.  "You're pretty tense, 
you know that?"  Justin moaned in response.  "I think I know a cure for that. 
 Justin...can I have you inside of me?"  Justin looked up at him.

	"You mean you want me to make love to you?"  Nick nodded slowly and 
Justin smiled.  "I would love to."  With that Justin stood up and helped Nick 
to his feet. Nick sat down on the bed and Justin sat next to him.  Nick began 
to unbutton his pants, but Justin stopped him.  "No.  I'll do that.  Let's 
take this really slow."  Nick smiled as Justin slowly pushed him down onto 
his back.  Justin ran his finger up to Nick's mouth and Nick took it into his 
mouth and slowly closed his lips around it.  He sucked on his finger for a 
while before Justin slowly removed it.  "Oops," he yelled as he hopped off 
the bed.  He ran over to the door and locked it.  "We don't want a replay of 
this morning."  He walked slowly back to his bed and began to remove his 
clothes.  Nick laughed as Justin slowly gyrated his hips.  Justin slowly 
unbuttoned his pants and let them drop.  He was standing in only his boxers, 
which had a rather large tent in the front.

	"God you look sexy," Nick moaned.  Justin smiled seductively and 
crawled up to Nick.  He straddled Nick's chest.  He leaned forward, his cock 
right in front of Nick's face.  Nick pulled down at the waist and began to 
lick the head, causing Justin to moan loudly.  "Sshh!  We don't want to wake 
your mother."  Justin smiled and moved back.  He pulled his boxers back up 
and straddled Nick's crotch.  He pulled Nick's shirt up and then lifted it 
over his head.  He licked Nick's stomach and then all the way up his chest, 
finally settling with his tongue in Nick's mouth.  Justin wrestled tongues 
with Nick for a few minutes, his hands roaming around Nick's crotch.  Nick 
moaned as Justin pulled back form the kiss.  Justin leaned back and 
unbuttoned Nick's pants, sliding them off.  Nick's boxers had a large tent in 
them.  Justin grasped Nick's hard member and began to stroke it.  Nick moaned 
and threw his head back.  Justin climbed on top of him and began to rub his 
cock with his own.  Their breathing grew heavier as they were both brought 
closer.  Justin reached into the drawer next to his bed and pulled out a 
condom and bottle of lube.  Nick yanked off Justin's boxers and Justin slid 
Nick's off.  Nick took the condom in his hand and carefully slid it onto 
Justin's hard member.  Justin moaned under Nick's touch.  Justin lubed 
himself and Nick up.

	"Are you sure," he asked, looking deep into Nick's eyes.

	Nick nodded and spread his legs a little wider.  Justin repositioned 
himself and gently began to place the head of his cock at Nick's hole.  He 
pushed in slightly and Nick gasped in pain.  Justin stopped and looked at 
Nick.  "Go on," he whispered slowly.  Justin slowly pushed more and more into 
Nick, periodically stopping to check on Nick.  Tears were streaming down his 
cheeks, but he always told Justin to push on.  Finally all of Justin was in 
Nick.  Justin stopped and allowed Nick to get used to having him inside of 
him.  When Nick nodded, Justin slowly withdrew til only the head was left in 
and then pushed in again.  He began to moan as he continually slammed into 
Nick.  Nick moaned in pleasure.  Soon, Justin's thrusts became even faster 
and he threw his head back.  Both Justin and Nick climaxed at the same time.  
Justin collapsed on top of Nick and panted heavily in his ear.  Nick wrapped 
his arms around Justin and kissed him gently on the cheek.  

	"I love you so much," he breathed into his ear.  

	"I love you too," Justin panted out.  He moved slowly. "Why don't we 
take a quick bath and head to bed.  Nick agreed and he picked up Justin.  
Justin laughed as Nick carried him over to Justin's private bathroom.  They 
filled the tub with warm water and slowly bathed each other.  When they were 
finished, Justin put on the sweat suit Nick had given him and Nick put on the 
sweat pants and T-shirt Justin had given him.  Nick laid down and pulled 
Justin on top of him.  He wrapped his arms securely around his love and fell 
into a deep, peaceful sleep.

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

	"Nick," Justin said as he moved a little from side to side.  Nick was 
still asleep and had his arms wrapped tightly around Justin.  Justin smiled 
and then called his lovers name a little louder.  

	"What is it," Nick asked as he stirred.

	"It's time to get up silly face.  And I thought I was bad in the 
morning!"  Justin laughed.  

	"Oh yea," Nick said.  He began to tickle Justin who roared out in 
laughter.  Then there came a sharp knock on his door.

	"Justin," Lynn called from the other side.  "Breakfast is ready."
	
	"We'll be right down mom," Justin called before realizing his mistake.

	"We?  Is Nick in there?"

	"Um, yea mom."

	"Justin, open this door now."  Justin got up slowly and unlocked the 
door.  He pulled it open and saw his mother standing there quite upset.  He 
stepped out of her way and she stormed into the room.  "Look Justin, I told 
you I accepted the fact that you were gay and wanted to see Nick.  However, 
that does not mean that I will allow you too to sleep together in the same 
bed.  As far as I'm concerned you are both too young to be having sex.  Nick, 
you are more than welcome to stay in this house, but as long as you do, I 
would appreciate it if you slept in your own room."  Nick looked down and 
nodded slowly.  She then turned her eyes back to Justin.  "Please honey.  
This is for your own good."  With that she exited the room without ever 
giving Justin a chance to defend themselves.

	Nick stood up and put an arm around Justin's shoulder.  "It's OK 
Justin.  Look, it's not that important.  We're only going to be here for a 
little while longer.  We're leaving the day after tomorrow to go back on 
tour."

	"It doesn't matter?  How can you say that?  What are we supposed to 
do when the tour is over, or when we come back here to rest.  This has to be 
settled now.  I'm not going to live like I'm in prison in my own house Nick." 
 Justin walked over and plopped back down on the bed.

	"Justin, I understand.  We'll talk to her tonight after the 
rehearsal.  For now, let's not bring it up, alright?  We don't have the time 
anyway.  The guys will be here in a little while to take us over to the 
rehearsal studio.  When we get back tonight, we'll discuss it with her, both 
of us.  Together."

	Justin got up and hugged Nick tightly.  "What did I do to deserve 
you?"

	"I think you got lucky or something," Nick said with a laugh.  Justin 
slapped him playfully and laughed.  They heard a tiny knock on the door.  
Turning around, they saw Jonathan at the door holding a teddy bear.  

	"Are you guys going to come downstairs?" he asked in a tiny voice.

	"We sure are buddy," Nick said as he walked over and picked him up.  
Justin smiled and followed the two of them out of his room and down the 
stairs.
