When he wasn't busy, he was out partying. Getting
drunk or laid by girl after girl or both, but even that got old after awhile.
He finally got tired of it all, and showed up on JC's doorstep one night after
taping that kids show he was doing. Carrying a bag of Chinese take out and
another with a six-pack of beer. When JC opened the door, he looked tired and
his hair was pulled back into a ponytail, but he let him in anyway, walking
back and over to the couch silently. He looked over at JC silently, noting his
unshaven tired appearance with a bit of concern. When he had seen the MTV
footage the other day of JC in the studio, he had looked happy and healthy.
What had happened in the short amount of time since that had been taped?
Clearing his throat he opened his mouth to speak,
"C, you okay, man? You're looking kinda ... I don't know ... tired or
something.
JC sighed as he pulled his hair out of the pony
tail, running his fingers through it before shrugging his shoulders. "Yeah
... fine. Nothing I can't handle."
Chewing on his bottom lip, he nodded. "You
sure, C? I mean you know you can always talk to me right. About anything."
"Yeah ... I know. It's just something. I don't
know if you could help with this though."
Tilting his head, he bit his bottom lip as he
reached out and wrapped an arm around JC's shoulder, pulling him closer. JC
sighed softly as he laid his head on his shoulder. "Josh ... you don't
have to tell me you know, but if you want to I'm here."
The two of them sat like that in silence for quite
a long time, just listening to each other breath. It got so quiet that he
thought that JC was asleep. He could always fall asleep so easily. It didn't matter where JC was. If he could
just have five minutes of silence and the ability to close his eyes, he was out
like a light. Reaching up, he ran his fingers through JC's long hair, smiling a
little when he felt JC lean into his touch. Looking down, he saw his friend's
eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and steady, indicating that he was
indeed asleep. He had always enjoyed these times with JC. These little quiet
moments when it was just the two of them. They had become more infrequent in
the past year since the hiatus had begun, but he was hoping that would change
now. It looked like JC needed him now, and of course he wanted to be their if
that was the case.
In the past it had always been J that was there for
him. Supporting him n everything that he wanted to do. It was JC that had went
to Houston over the summer and to the premiere for On the Line. Helping Joey
record the song for the soundtrack. All the little things that JC had done over
the years. Feeling JC turn his head, he bit his lip as he felt JC nuzzle his
neck in his sleep causing a slight shiver go down his spine. He started to pull
away, but he only succeeded in waking JC up. Looking down he saw JC look up at
him through half open sleepy eyes.
A small smile crossed JC lips before he closed his
eyes again, nuzzling his neck before pressing a soft kiss there. "Thanks,
Lance."
Holding JC closer, he closed his own eyes as he
leaned back against the couch. He thought he could finally see what his mother
meant. Maybe the grass was greener on the other side. Or maybe it was just JC.
He still couldn't explain it really, but he wasn't going to over analyze this
like everything else in his life. All he knew was right now he was enjoying the
peace and the quiet and the man now cuddled up against his side. Right now he
had all he needed.
