Part 9


******THREE MONTHS LATER******


"So guys, how's the girlfriend situation going? Joey, I hear you and Kelly have decided to make it official."   The crowd clapped and screamed with approval.  Joey blushed and nodded to Carson Daly, the host of MTV's TRL, which the guys were appearing on for the release of their new video.

"Yeah, we've been together forever, despite all the rumors of me dating Chyna..." Everyone laughed and Joey shook his head. "I asked her to marry me."  Lance patted Joey and the back and Chris howled with excitement, pumping a fist in the air.

"That's great, man," Carson relpied.  "Well, we're running short on time here, so let's get straight to the video.  Here it is, folks, the world premiere of *NSYNC's new video, 'This I Promise You.'"

"Whenever I hear this song I think of you," Justin whispered in JC's ear.  A smile spread across JC's face.

"I know, J."  The two had been "fooling around," as Justin called it, since the first night at JC's house three months ago.  They hadn't told they guys; it was easier that way.  But Justin was getting restless.  He wanted more from JC than JC wanted to give. JC had never actually told Justin that, but Justin knew it anyway.

Over the past three months, Justin had realized that this small, insignificant feeling he had for JC was more than just a small, insignificant feeling.  In fact, it was more than just a feeling...he was in love.  

He'd thought about telling JC, thought about looking in those deep blue eyes and saying, "Josh, you are my best friend, my lover, my everything. I am completely in love with you."  But he was scared to death of what JC's reaction would be, so he settled for "fooling around" in secret.

"I'd like to thank my guests, *NSYNC, for being with us today. The video looks great, guys.  Thanks for tuning in to TRL, we'll see ya tomorrow!"  

The guys filed out of the studio and headed back to the hotel, where Chris and Joey decided to take a nap, and Lance went to his room to work on some business for Free Lance.

Justin unlocked the door to their room, and before Justin knew what was happening, JC was ravaging him.  He pushed him up against the wall, hands pinned above his head, kissing his neck hungrily.

"God, Justin," JC growled. "It was all I could do to keep from kissing you on TRL today..."

Justin's mouth found JC's and they kissed passionately.  Justin felt the budding erection in JC's pants and nipped at his neck playfully before pulling away and strolling over to the couch.

"Justin!"  JC whined.

"I'm not really in the mood, Jace," Justin said, yawning. "I'm kinda worn out."  

JC looked at Justin, a pout on his lips.  "Fine, I guess I'll just have to play with myself then," JC sighed, a devilish grin appearing on his face.

Justin's eyes widened as he watched JC lean up against the wall and strip down to his boxers, pulling out  his own erection and  stroking it slowly.  Justin heard  JC moan softly as his hand moved faster.  He slid down the wall and on to the floor, eyes rolled back in his head as his cock got harder.

"Josh, if you're doing this so that you can get me to join you over there..."

JC smiled a little, still pumping his erection in his hand.

"It's working!"  Justin peeled his shirt off, jumping off the couch to straddle JC.  "Let me help you with that," Justin whispered, removing JC's hand and replacing it with his own.

"Fuck, Justin", JC purred. "You know just how I like it."   JC kissed Justin forcefully, rolling over on top of him to remove his lover's pants.  Justin groaned as he felt JC's cock rub against his own.  
"Josh..." Justin whispered through rough kisses.

"Yeah, J?"  

Justin pulled away from the kiss gently and placed a hand on JC's cheek.

"I love you."

JC laughed a litte.  "I love you too, man.  You know that. I love all you guys."  He leaned down to kiss Justin again, but Justin pulled back.

"No, Josh.  That's not what I mean."  Suddenly Jusitn looked scared, and JC wondered what was going through his head.  

"What do you mean then, Justin?"

"I mean I love you.  Not like a friend, not like a brother."  Justin paused, and in a shaky voice said, "I'm in love with you."  

JC pulled away from him and stood up.  Justin tried to read the expression on his face, but JC wouldn't let him get a good enough look.  Justin stood up and put his hands on JC's shoulders.  

JC punched him in the face.

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

Justin heard the door open and rolled over to see if it was JC.

"Yo, J, you comin out with us tonight?"  he heard Joey yell.  

"Don't think so," Justin called back, trying to cover the disappointment in his voice. He'd hoped it was JC coming in the room, not Joey.

"Why not ma--" A shocked look appeared on Joey's face. "What the hell happened to your eye!"  He reached out to touch Justin's face, but Justin pulled away.

"It's nothing, JC and I were playing around and things got a little out of hand, no big deal, "Justin lied, rolling over on his side in hopes that Joey would leave him alone. "It's just a little red, it'll be fine."  Luckily, JC hadn't bruised Justin's face.  It was just a little red and puffy.

"What did he do, haul off and clock you?"

Justin let out a phony laugh. "Yeah, something like that. He didn't mean it."  He could only hope that that were true.

"OK man, well we're going to the club tonight, you sure you don't want to come?"  

"No, I'm just gonna stay here and chill," Justin said, smiling at Joey.  "Plus I don't want to go out in public looking like I just got in a fight."

Joey laughed and patted Justin's knee. "All right man, see ya later."

"Ok. Hey, Joe?" Justin called out just as Joey turned the door knob.  

"Yeah, Justin?"

"Is C going with you?"

"Yeah, he's in our room right now getting ready. Why?"

"I was just wondering. Have fun."  Joey left just before Justin burst into tears and buried himself under the covers.
