"And the Grammys goes to…" JC eagerly opens the envelope, and a slow grin spread across his face. "He has had a successful year, and I'm proud to have worked alongside with him for years and be his friend for longer than that. He deserves every ounce of this. He is…Justin Timberlake!" Cheers and applause erupted immediately. After receiving hugs and kisses from his Mom and his manager, he ascends to the stage with a bounce in his walk. His heart is pounding overdrive. The anticipation of receiving the award from JC's hands is making him perspire! When does he ever have a moment when he can stand alone on a stage with JC? Never! Until now. Just him and his lover. Time seems to come to a standstill when he finally accepts the award from his lover. JC gives him a big hug, and presses a subtle kiss to his neck, leaving a tinkling sensation down his spine. He wishes he can freeze that moment, frame it up and never leave it out of sight. After a few pats on his back, they separate and Justin goes to make his speech, "Thank you, thank you…" Backstage "Hey J! Congratulations man!" "Congrats man!" Congratulations are flying behind the backstage when Justin walks through. He returns with a polite nod before quickening his pace to catch up with JC, who has walked ahead of him and disappeared through a passageway when Justin is bombarded with felicitations. "Hey stranger," a voice sounded when Justin walks by a bend in a passageway. Justin immediately stops walking and turns around. He knows that voice. He practically hears it everyday of his past eleven years of his life. Slowly, he retraces his steps. Suddenly, a leg sticks out from the bend, halting him in his way. Bringing himself to face the entrance of the bend, a bright smile instantly appears on his face when he sees his lover just leaning leisurely against the wall, hands in his pockets. "Hey sexy." JC draws Justin closer until their noses are touching. "I want to say congratulation but I've already said it on stage just now. I want to say you deserve the award but I've already said that too. I want to say I'm so proud of you but that too, is done. So I've nothing to say really." Justin chuckles as JC has a gleam in his eyes. "A simple `I love you' would be fine ya know?" "I know. I just love to tease you," JC breathes into Justin's ear. "I love you." "I love you too." Justin reciprocates. "And thank you. You have no idea how much I treasure that moment on stage with you. I was about to go insane with all the gossips and bitching about me in there. But then you appeared! And presented that award to me! You made me not killed somebody. You brought me back to my sanity! YOU are my sanity! By the way, I can't think of anybody who's more appropriate to present me that award than you. I'm so honoured!" "Aww baby," JC brings up a hand to Justin's face, soothing away the unhappiness. "I'm touched. I'm glad I can provide that sanity to you. And as long as I'm here, I always will, and more. Just remember what I told you the other day. Keep your chin up alright?" Justin nods. "You just turn up the mush level to maximum." JC adds as an afterthought. Justin swipes JC lightly on his chest. "You just turn up the dork level so high that the scale has exploded. And you just kill THE mood!" JC laughs. "I bet I can bring the mood back!" before leaning in to capture Justin's mouth in a sizzling kiss. -The End-
