Chapter 6 -- Harsh Light

	Justin could feel something soft rubbing against his leg. "Josh...
Mmmm, Josh we should stop."  He murmured, but he kept kissing him
anyway. "Josh." He whispered. The snake suddenly pulled back then jumped
forward, viciously biting onto Justin's leg. "JOSH!" He screamed.

	JC backed up in shock, then began kicking and stepping on the
snake, finally killing it. "Justin!"  He cried, looking over the leg
wound. Blood slid sickly out of the bite. "Oh my god." He whispered taking
off his sweatshirt, and tied it around Justin's leg to cut off the flow of
blood. "You'll be okay, Justin, just hold on to me." He scooped Justin up
in his arms, and began carrying him down the trail as fast as he could.

	"JC, I feel strange." Justin whispered.

	"I know you do. I'm trying to hurry." JC noticed Justin was getting
very pale, and the sweatshirt had now almost turned completely
crimson. "You'll be okay. You'll be okay."  He whispered back repeatedly.

	Finally, he had made it all the way down the trail and to the jeep
he had rented. He laid Justin down along the backseat, and kissed his
forehead.  "I'm hurrying, Justin."  Justin lifted his head to watch JC
climb into the front seat and started the car.

	"JC, I'm just going to go to sleep..." Justin said softly, then
was consumed by darkness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	"So, what did you guys think of the movie? Guys? GUYS!" Chris
whined as he turned around to find Lance and Joey leaning on each other
asleep. "WAKEUP!" He yelled, and both boys snapped to attention.

	"Sorry, Chris. Uh, how was the movie?" Joey asked, shaking off his
sleepy feeling.

	"Gee, I dunno, you tell me." Chris replied with a glare.

	Joey's phone rang and he clicked it on. "Yeah, hey, JC, we were
just... oh my god... oh my god..." Joey turned around to hide the phone
so he could hear JC better.  "Yeah. Okay. We'll be there soon. Is he...
okay? Yeah, I know. All right. We'll be there soon." He clicked off the
phone, and turned around.

	"Justin was bit by a snake when he and JC went hiking. He passed
out from the blood loss, but he's okay now. They've stopped the bleeding,
and gave him a blood transfusion. JC wants us to get there as soon as
possible, because we all are going to have to plan what we're going to do
with all the press... oh god, and the management!"

	"Well, that's it then, let go!" Chris grabbed both of them by their
shirts and pulled them with him out the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	"Justin..." JC whispered to the younger man lying quietly in the
disgustingly white hospital bed.  "Justin, wake up..." Justin stirred in
his bed, and his eyes fluttered open.

	"Ugh, uh, hey Josh." He said with a smile, and pulled himself up to
a sitting position. "Thanks for getting me here. So soon... You know..."

	"Hush. I love you, and there was no way I was going to let you
die."

	"I know. I love you too."

	"JUSTIN!" Joey ran in from the hallway, and embraced Justin in a
most rough fashion. "Justin!  How are you doing? Are you okay?"

	"Joey, let go. I can't... breathe." Justin struggled for breath
beneath Joeys grasp on him.

	"Sorry, J." He said, brushing his friend off. "Didn't mean to hurt
you. Are you okay?"

	"Hi." Chris and Lance said as they entered the room and located a
place to sit.

	All eyes turned to Justin's leg, and they noticed the gauze that
was wrapped around and the traces of blood. "No, I'm okay. Seriously."
Justin said with a sigh. "It's just dried blood. Don't worry about it."

	"Justin, you could of died." Lance said softly.

	"I know that, Lance! Please, don't remind me." Justin whined.

	"Oh, shit, you guys, I just realized that we have to tell
management about all of this. They're going to kill us." Chris said, a look
of horror on his. All eyes turned to Lance.

	"No. No, no, no, no, no. I am NOT calling Johnny, you guys. It is
not happening. Why doesn't one of you do it? Why am I always the one to...
NO! I'm not even going to ask that because I'm not calling. No way, no
how." The eyes continued to stare. "Okay, that's it! You can all just...
just die!"  Lance hissed angrily as he pulled out his cell phone and began
to dial.

	"Yeah, hey, Johnny, uh." Lance began to describe all that had
happened.  Then in reply, everyone in the room could hear Johnny yelling
over the phone. "Sorry, Johnny."

	"YOU GUYS ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE. YOU BETTER BE AT REHEARSAL BRIGHT
AND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING OR I'M GOING TO HAVE YOUR ASSES. I'VE HAD TO
DEAL WITH A SCREAMING FATIMA ALL DAY, AND YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT'S
LIKE. I AM ON THE EDGE OF INSANITY AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS SIT THERE AND SAY
I'M SORRY? IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK."

	"Bye Johnny. See you tomorrow!" Lance said, and then hung up the
phone. He turned to face the rest of the group. "Bright and early tomorrow
morning. We will ALL be there."

	"When does Justin get released?" Chris asked JC, and then snatched
the phone from Lance to call for a cab back to the hotel.

	"As soon as the doctor gets in. He's okay except for the bite. He's
not paralyzed or anything. The snake wasn't venomous."

	"Oh, good."

	Soon, the cab came and picked up all five men, because the doctor
came in soon after he called.

Chapter 7 -- Free Admission

	Back at the hotel, Justin laid down on his bed as JC went and
locked their bedroom door. "What do you want to do tonight, Justin? A
movie?"

	"I dunno. I just want to be with you." There was a knock at the
door. "And them too, I suppose..."

	"I'll shoo them away, Justin. Give me a minute." JC went and opened
the door to find Lance poised to knock again. "Hey, Lance. Justin and I are
just going to stay in tonight."

	"Oh, that wasn't what I was going to ask you, but alright."

	"Sorry, what were you going to ask?"

	"I was just wanting to talk to you about, um, things I guess."
Lance took a gulp. Earlier he and Joey had decided that tonight they were
going to admit everything, but separately. Lance first, then Joey would
go. Lance was going to tell JC alone, but if Justin was here, like a
band-aide, he would just do it all at once.

	"Well, okay. Can Justin hear too?"

	"Yes. He needs to know as well."

	"Lance, is something wrong? You don't look so good. I don't need
another one of you guys going pale on me!"

	"No, I'm fine, go sit down with Justin, and I'll tell you both
about it."

	"Hey, Lance. What's up?" Justin asked, noticing the two men coming
towards him.

	"Shhh, Justin, he's going to tell us something." JC said, and sat
down next to Justin.

	Lance sat on a chair in front of the two of them on the bed. "Guys,
um... You know the rumors, the um." He gulped again. "The gay ones?"

	"Yeah, why?" JC asked slowly.

	"I really am what they say."

	Justin and JC simply froze in their places. The words he had just
spoken were shocking, yet relieving.

	"I'm not done." Lance continued. "So is Joey, and we're seeing each
other."

	The words were sounding better and better.

	"I'm really happy for you two." JC said with a smile to assure
Lance it was meant genuinely.  Justin nudged JC. He wanted JC to tell Lance
about them. JC didn't notice.  So, Justin pinched his arm.  "OW! Fuck,
Justin, that hurt, why did you..." He turned to see the look on Justin's
face. "Me to tell? Oh, okay, you sure?" Justin nodded. "Okay. Lance, Justin
and I have something to tell you."

	"Um... Okay... What is it?" Lance said, cautiously.

	"We're gay too, and we're together."

	"Oh wow..." Lance said in shock. "I'm REALLY happy for you two!
Wow, this is just... wow! I had no idea!" Lance smiled to show he was
genuine as well.

	"Is Chris... too?"

	"Oh, that I dunno. He's so alone!" Lance said with a laugh.

	"I know. Well, Justin and I were just going to watch a movie, so
we'll see you later then?"

	"Yeah. I'm going back to my room to take a nap. See you later. And
again, I'm really happy for you two!"

	"We know! Bye!" JC called to Lance. He waited till the door shut,
then he turned to Justin, and tickled him profusely.

	"STOP! STOP!" Justin cried out in between laughing.

	JC bent his head to kiss Justin deeply then resumed tickling.

	"Josh! OH! STOP!" Justin continued to squirm.

	"Okay, but I'm not finished with you yet, little boy." JC said
happily, and went to turn on the TV.

	"I hope you never finish with me." Justin said dreamily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	"Hey, Joey." Lance said softly, and climbed into the bed next to
Joey.

	"Hey, baby." Joey said, and pulled Lance's head to his to kiss
him. "How did it go?"

	"Joey, you wouldn't believe what I found out?"

	"Hmm? What?"

	"JC and Justin are gay too! And they're seeing each other! That is
so... weird and coincidental!"

	"That's really cool and all, but I just want to kiss you right
now." Joey said seductively, ignoring all that Lance had just said. He
pulled Lance in to kiss him for awhile longer. Half way through the kiss he
realized what Lance had said. "THEY'RE GAY TOO!?" He cried out in shock.

	"JOEY! Shhh!" Lance put his lips to Joeys and kissed them
sweetly. "Yes, they're gay too. Isn't it great?"

	"Yeah... That's so weird." Joey said in awe. Lance began to kiss
Joey's neck, shoulder, arms, and then back up to his neck again, then he
stopped. "Hey, don't stop."

	"You weren't responding!" Lance whined.

	"I'm sorry, I was just kind of shocked for a moment. Sorry, let me
make it up to you." Joey pulled off Lance's shirt. He pushed Lance down on
the bed, and began to kiss down his chest softly. Unzipping Lance's pants,
Lance moaned as Joey finally reached the spot he wanted him too, and then
let himself succumb to pleasure.

Hey everyone! I wrote this all originally as just chapter 6, but then when I
started letting them admit things, it seemed like it'd be better as a whole
different section, so I just combined the chapters. Hope you enjoyed it! I
want feedback so I know what you liked and didn't like, and what I can
change to make the story better! Thanks for reading!
Until next chapter,
