"Look at the two of them. Their so, in love" said Justin as he watched Lance and Joey from across the room.

"And that's bad" said JC.

"No, it's weird" replied Justin.

"Why is it weird. You have gay friends, I have gay friends" said JC.

"This is different, it's Joey and Lance. We're like family, like brothers. It's just icky. Do you two have to do that here" said Justin.

"What, we're just kissing" said Joey.

"But do you have to do it front of everyone" said Justin irritated.

"You should be glad that's all we do" said Joey smiling.

"I think I'm going to go lay down, watch some TV" said Joey.

"Ok, I'll be in in a minute I want to make a phone call. You know if you don't want to watch you could always go home" said Lance turning to Justin.

"Now their's an idea. How about we go to my place and shoots some hoops" said Justin.

"Sure, you don't mind if we cut out do you" said JC.

"No, go ahead. I'll watch some TV with Joey" said Lance.

Staring at the TV screen Joey frowned as he watched the lips of the man he loved kissing someone else He had been ok at first with Lance using her as a cover but now it was starting to bother him. The playfull banter, the I feel a connection. It was a lie, all of it. Why couldn't Lance be saying that about him. Why couldn't Lance be kissing him. He hated it, he hated...Whoa! Your going to injure somebody with that aim of yours" said Lance dodging the book Joey had thrown. Hey, I thought since we have a rare night off that we could get some dinner, relax" said Lance.

"I'm tired."

"Tired, ok what's wrong" said Lance.

"Nothing" replied Joey.

"So your just threw a book across the room for fun. Come on, this is me your talking too. You know the man who loves you" said Lance.

"Love, do you even know what that is anymore" snapped Joey.

"I thought I did. Am I not getting something here."

"Why did you have to tell everyone their is a connection between you and Emanuel. Why did you have to kiss her at the party" said Joey.

"I wanted to give the press something to talk about. You thought the Emanuel deal was a good thing" said Lance.

"Yeah, well I've changed my mind. I don't want you kissing her, I want you kissing me. I want to be the one on your arm" said Joey.

"We both agreed it isn't the right time for us to be coming out with our relationship" said Lance.

"No, you agreed and I went along with it" said Joey.

"You know I love you. Come on let's get out of have a beer, get some dinner" said Lance.

"Fine, but no Sushi. I'm tired of Sushi" said Joey.

"We could go to Pedros. Maybe we'll run into Benny" said Lance.

"Benny is weird" said Joey.

"It takes a weird person to know one" said Lance smiling.

"Are you saying I'm weird" said Joey.

"Yeah" said Lance.

"Take it back or I'll...You'll what" said Lance his face inches from Joey's.

"I'll kiss you" said Joey.

"I think I could live with being kissed. You know though we really shouldn't start something we can't finish."

"Who says we can't finish" said Joey placing his arms around Lance.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat" said Lance.

"It is a sad day when a man chooses food over sex."

"We have plenty of time for that later" said Lance.
