Challenge - One is a superstar; other is his assistent

Part 1:

Chris stood off to the side of the stage. He watched Joey on stage gyrate and sing for the screaming fans. ‘I wish I could have him. He is so gorgeous and prefect.’ He sighed and clutched his folders and papers tighter to his chest. ‘He is never going to see me for anything more then his shy and backward assistant.’ He stood and watched Joey till the next to the last set. He hurried back to the dressing to get it ready for when Joey came back.

Pushing open the door he saw a tall leggy blonde standing there. He looked oddly at the blonde, “Um.. Can I help you?” He watched the blonde turn around sharply almost dropping the rose he had in his hand. He sighed. Joey had one of these after every show some tramp thinking they could get lucky with the superstar Joey Fatone. To Chris’s disappointment they usually did.

The blonde introduced myself, “I am Cameron Standsbury. I was hoping I could meet Joey. He is so sexy and gorgeous.” He stopped and sighed. Smiling dreamily he asked, “You think its possible that I could met him. I promise not to tell anyone.”

Chris sighed and rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. Why don’t you wait outside and when he comes back I will talk to him and if he says yes then I will come get you.”

Cameron frowned, “This is a brush off is it? I’m not going to be standing out in the hall like an ass waiting for nothing am I?”

Chris shook his head, “No I really will talk to Joey about it. Just stand out in the hall and I will come get you.”

Cameron smiled and hugged Chris, “Thanks man.” He stepped back and walked out the door.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Joey walked off stage from the most keyed up concert of the entire tour. Walking quickly back to his dressing room he noticed a leggy blonde standing against the wall. He smiled at the blonde and thought, ‘Ahh.. My after show treat.’

Pushing open the door he saw Chris looking over some papers. He smiled, ‘I couldn’t ask for a better assistant.’ Walking over and sitting his chair he spoke to Chris, “Hey man! What did you think of the show?”

Chris looked up from the papers he had been reading and blushed, “It was great Joey. Like always.” He sighed and brought up the subject that broke his heart, “You have a guest. He is standing outside.” He felt like he could cry when he saw Joey’s eyes light up. He sighed and looked at the ground gathering up his papers and folders he hugged them to his chest. “I’ll just go get him.”

Joey reached his hand out and placed it on Chris’s shoulder. “You okay man. You look a little down in the dumps.” He watched Chris move away from his touch. This bothered him a lot. “Is there something wrong?”

Chris continued looking at the ground and shook his head; “No Joey there is nothing wrong.” He walked over to the door and motioned the blonde, known to him as Cameron, in. As he walked in Chris walked out just before shutting the door he turned and looked at Joey. He sighed and let the tears off as he looked at Joey kissing yet another nobody.

Joey opened his eyes just as Chris looked away from the mirror. He swore he saw tears and sorrow in those shy, pretty brown eyes. He sighed, ‘Why does that make me feel lower then scum on someone’s shoe?’ He felt the young man, who had introduce himself as Cameron, start kissing his neck. He closed his eyes and tried to lose himself in the moment of lust but when he closed his eyes he saw a very upset looking Chris leaving the room. As he thought about it he realized every time Chris let the latest trick in he would leave looking hurt and betrayed. ‘What does this mean? Does he have feelings for me? Better question Do I have feelings for him?’

Sighing again he pushed the young man away, “I am sorry I can’t do this. I am truly sorry but I can’t. There is something I need to think about tonight and I don’t have time to play.” He sighed at the hurt in the kid’s eyes. “I am sorry. Its just I have a lot on my mind right now.”

Cameron backed away, “Okay I understand. If you are ever around here again look me up.” Walking out the door he shut it tight behind him.

Joey sat and looked in the mirror. Talking aloud he asked himself, “Do I have feelings for Chris?” He sat and thought for what must have been hours but in reality it had only been a few minutes. Suddenly something clicked in his head and Joey leap from his chair and raced toward the bus he shared with Chris.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Chris slowly made his way to the bus he shared his Joey maybe for the last time. He thought about all the nights he spent by Joey side helping through the pressures of being famous. ‘Why can’t he see me for more then the shy backward assistant? Just once I would love to be one of those tricks. It wouldn’t be the love and commitment that I want but at least I would get to be with Joey just once.’

Signaling to the driver to open the bus he climbed on. “Evening Tom.” His voice was hollow and down.

The driver smiled and said, “Evening Chris. Heard the concert was another success.” He frowned when Chris just nodded. He sighed, “Joey with another one of his fan club members?”

Chris nodded and started to cry.

Tom stood up and hugged the little man that he loved like a son. “I am sorry Christopher. He’ll come around sometime and notice you. He maybe blinded now but he won’t be forever.”

Chris stepped back and smiled sort of, “Thanks Tom.” When Tom nodded Chris walked past him back to the living area. He shut himself in the tiny bathroom looking for the little bottle of pills that he kept hidden. He never figured suicide to be the answer to his problems but now he didn’t see any other choice.

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

Joey raced from the building at full speed not even taking time to sign autographs for the waiting fans. He waved his arms like a manic at Tom to open the bus doors. He jumped in as soon as the door opened. He stooped and put his hands on his knees. He panted and gasped for air.

Tom stood up and patted Joey on the back. “Jesus son you okay. You’re running like you got hell hounds on your tail. What the matter?”

Joey stood up and through his panting he said, “I…need…Chris. Where…is…he?” He gulped for more air. He hadn’t run like that since gym class in high school.

Tom pointed toward the back, “You figure it out son?”

Joey looked at Tom quizzically then understanding dawn in his eyes, “You knew all along that Chris liked me?”

Tom shrugged, “Poor boy need someone to talk too.” When Joey didn’t move to go find Chris he said, “What are you waiting for boy? An engraved invitation?”

Joey shook his head and took off toward the back.

Tom smiled and shook his head, “Well now maybe thing get to some kinda order around here.”

Part 2:

Joey looked in Chris’s bedroom and didn’t see him. He looked in his bedroom and didn’t see him. He tried open the bathroom door and found it locked. “Chris you in there?”

Chris froze. The pills were half way to his mouth. He cleared his throat and said, “Yea I’m in here.”

Joey sighed, “Good open the door. I wanna talk to you. I have something important to ask you.”

Chris hurried to put the pills back in the container. Snapping the lid back on he put them hide his back. Opening the door just a crack he asked, “What?”

“Can I come in? Or can you come out here?” Joey asked

Chris nodded and opened the door farther. He stepped aside so Joey could come in. “What did you need?” He asked. He kept his hand behind his back and a firm grasp on the pill bottle.

Joey was about to start talking when he noticed Chris acting a little suspicious. “What are you hiding behind your back?”

Chris gulped and shook his head. “Nothing.”

Joey advanced on to Chris and quickly reached around an grabbed the bottle. Bring it around so he could see it. He watched Chris bow his head in shame. Reading the label he discovered they were sleeping pills. “Why do you have these Chris?”

Chris felt the unwanted tears rolling down his tears. “I need them to sleep sometimes. When you have tricks over I have a hard time sleeping.” It wasn’t a lie that is why he had them. He would pop 4 of them and lay down. He couldn’t stand to hear Joey and some nameless person having sex.

Joey swallowed hard. He hadn’t realized how badly Chris had been hurting. ‘I am such a bad person. My God how could I have not noticed this.’ He opened the bottle and saw how many were missing. He frowned and read the bottle date again. “Chris there is only half a bottle left and you have only had this a week.”

Chris shrink back at the tone Joey was using. He cried harder and the sobs came forward. He listened to Joey rant. He finally stood up and said, “Do you want to know why I take these?”

Joey nodded, “Yes I want to know why.”

Chris sighed and asked in the same hollow voice that he had used with Tom before, “Fine. I take them because I can’t stand to hear you having sex with those nameless tricks. I have loved you since the moment I met you. You have never noticed me. It hurts me so much to hear you night after night having meaningless sex with everyone.

Joey stood rooted in place. He was beyond shocked. He reached out to Chris and pulled him into his arms. He sighed and rocked Chris back and forth. “Why did you have them out now? I didn’t have anyone hear you could gone to bed without them.”

Chris buried his face in Joey’s chest mumbled through the reason he had them out. “I was going to take them all. I just wanted all the hurting to end. I knew you couldn’t love me so I was just going to end it.”

Joey stood stock still again not believing what he was hearing. “You were going to kill yourself?” When Chris nodded Joey picked out in his arms and held him.

Chris let his head fall onto Joey’s shoulder. He was so wiped out from everything. He tuned back into what Joey was saying. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Joey became rambling. “I watched you leave tonight after you let that Cameron kid in. I saw the tears in your eyes and I started thinking. I made that Cameron kid leave and I sat and thought for a while. Then it became so clear. I love you Chris. I can’t imagine what my leave would be like without you. I don’t want those nameless tricks and meaningless sex anymore. I want you.” He set Chris back down on his feet and pushed him away. He looked him in the eyes and said, “The question I need answer is do you really want me?”

Chris nodded and half smiled, “Yes I want you a lot.”

Joey smiled and leaned to kiss Chris. He kissed him gently at first then more thoroughly. He slipped his tongue between Chris’s pink lips. The kiss was everything they had both been dreaming about. When they pulled back Joey said, “Wow.”

Chris stared wide-eyed at Joey and nodded, “Yea wow.” He tried to stifle a yawn but wasn’t every good at hiding it from Joey.

Joey saw the yawn and unwrapped his arms from around Chris’s waist. “Come on you need some sleep. You have an emotional night.” He steered Chris out of the bathroom and into his room. When Chris tried to question it Joey just interrupted him and said, “I want you to sleep with me tonight. I need you close.”

Chris nodded, “Okay.” He started to undress but Joey stopped him. Looking up in question Joey just smiled and said, “I’ll do it.” Chris relaxed into Joey’s touch. This was more then he could have ever hoped for. Still he wasn’t quite sure if he could trust these new feelings Joey had for him. It all seemed to good.

Joey slowly unbuttoned Chris’s dress shirt that he wore. He always looked so professional in his button up shirts and dress slacks. He finished unbuttoning the shirt and pushed it off Chris’ shoulders. Joey looked him up and down. He had a well-muscled chest. He reached to unbutton Chris’s khaki’s when he felt Chris stiffen. “Shh. We are going to take everything slow.” He placed a soft and chaste kiss on his lips. When Chris’s relaxed again Joey continued.

After undressing Chris to his boxers Joey pulled back the soft comforter and steered Chris over an laid him down. Pulling the comforter up over Chris he said, “I’ll be right back.”

Chris nodded his head and snuggled down into the soft pillow. He waited for Joey to come back.

Joey walked and told Tom what had happened. At Tom’s worried look Joey told him not to worry he wouldn’t let anything happen to Chris. On his way back to the bedroom Joey turn back around, “Tom can call and cancel what ever meets Chris has written on the chalk board. I am going to spend the day with him tomorrow.”

Tom nodded, “Sure thing Joey.”

Joey nodded his thanks and head back to the bedroom. He walked in and closed the door behind him. Stripping down to his boxers he climbed in beside Chris, who was already sleeping. Joey snuggled up to Chris. He brushed the short hair off of his Chris’s forehead. He whispered, “Things are going to change now that I have you. I love you.” He kissed Chris’s forehead and snuggled in to sleep.

Part 3:

The late morning sun shined through the windows into Joey’s face. He slowly blinked his eyes open and looked down at the sleeping body next to him. The night before had been hard on them both. He didn’t even want to think what would have happened if he hadn’t gotten there in time and Chris would have taken all of those pills. He shook his head to get rid of all the bad thoughts. He didn’t want Chris to wake up by himself but he had to go to the bathroom. Sighing when he his bladder won out. He slowly extracted himself from the web of Chris’s arms and legs. He hurried to the bathroom. He hoped he could get back before Chris woke up.

He went to the bathroom as quickly as he could and ran back to the bedroom to his relief Chris was still asleep. He quietly walked back over to the bed and laid down. He had no sooner gotten back in bed when Chris stirred around. Joey watched as two beautiful brown eyes flicker open. “Morning.” He whispered.

Chris blinked and looked up at Joey. For a moment he was confused as to how they ended up in bed together but the nights events came back to him. He lowered his eyes and sit up, “I’m sorry Joey. I didn’t mean to ruin your night.” He picked out the comforter.

Joey say up and wrapped his arms around Chris’s body. “You didn’t ruin my night. You did the exact opposite you made it so much better. I got to hold you last night. I have never held anyone before. I never stick around long enough to hold tricks. I never wanted too.” He sighed, “You are different then everyone else. I care about you. I didn’t realize till last night. I told you I love you and I meant that.”

Chris looked at Joey with doubt filled eyes. “I don’t need pity. You can go back to your tricks. Please don’t feel you need to stay with me.”

Joey shook his head. ‘How can one person have so much low self-esteem?’ He sighed, “Chris, I do want to be with you and it’s not out of pity. Last night when you let that guy in and I saw you leaving with tears in your eyes I couldn’t get you out of my head. I closed my eyes and I saw your face.” He turned Chris’s face back toward him, “I want to take this slow to make sure you don’t get hurt.”

Chris sighed, “I’m not a baby. I can take it.”

Joey shook his head, “I want to take this slow. I want to make sure we do this right. I haven’t had a lot of experience with love and relationships but I want to give this a try.” He rubbed Chris back in comfort.

Chris sighed nodded, “Okay. Slow it is.” He looked up at Joey with watery eyes, “Are you sure you want me?”

Joey nodded and kissed the tip of Chris nose. “Very sure.” He hugged Chris to him and smiled when he relaxed. “Come on let’s go back to bed.” He pulled Chris back down on the bed with him. He smiled when Chris asked about the meetings that were scheduled for today. “I had Tom cancel them. I am going to stead the day with you.”

Chris looked up at Joey and finally after he didn’t know how many days he gave Joey one of his hundred watt smiles, “Good. I don’t think I could give you up today.”

Joey smiled right back at him, “You don’t have to give me up at all.”

EPILOGUE:

Joey sat looking out the window of the tour bus at yet another nameless town. He was thankful that the tour was almost over he just wanted to go home and be with Chris. Sure he was with Chris here on the bus but this wasn’t enough for them. He and Chris hadn’t even made love yet. Chris was more the willing but Joey kept telling him that the time wasn’t right yet. He wanted it to private at home not on this bus. He looked up when he heard someone walking back toward the living area.

Chris had stood and watched Joey for a while. He couldn’t believe how things have been this past 4 months. Joey shooed away all the nameless tricks that came on to him. He told them that he was happy involved with someone. He had doubts in the beginning but Joey seemed to be truly faithful. He wanted to make love with Joey but he kept telling that the time wasn’t right. He grinned, ‘Tonight is going to be the right time. I am going to make it right.’

Joey saw the grin form on Chris’s face. He raised an eyebrow, “What’s up baby.”

Chris didn’t say a word just reached out his hand for Joey to take. When Joey took it he pulled him so they were standing chest to chest. He whispered, “Tonight is our night Joey.” He kissed Joey passionately.

Joey groaned and picked Chris up an carried him into the bedroom. He slammed the door shut with his foot. He laid Chris on the bed then laid down on top of him. He kissed and nipped at his earlobes. He whispered softly, “I love you so much baby.”

Chris mewled, “I love you to honey.” He groaned when Joey flicked his tongue inside his ear. “Christ Joey. I have waited so long for you. I need you….I want you NOW.”

Joey sat up and grinned, “Eager little thing aren’t you.” He snickered when Chris growled at him. He unbutton Chris’s shirt and ran his hands up and down his chest. “You know how sexy you are?”

Chris sat up and took his shirt off. “No tell me.” He smiled when Joey pulled off his own shirt and tossed it over his head.

Joey leaned over Chris and whispered, “You are more sexy then any of those men and women who throw themselves at me. You shine above them all.” He kissed Chris’s chin and worked his way down over the rest of his neck. He moved to Chris’s nipples and sucked on one then the other. He paid special to them. He loved watching Chris wiggle and squirm. He was so sexy all wanton.

Chris had enough. He was ready now. He pulled Joey up so they were face to face. “What part of I want you now didn’t you understand?”

Joey looked at the intense fire in Chris’s eyes. He gulped. Out of all the partners he has had none of them were this passionate. He unbuttoned Chris pants and pulled them off along with his boxers. Throwing them on the floor with their shirts.

Chris reached up and returned the favor to Joey. Now they were both naked and flush against each other. They groaned at the fell of each other. They could each other’s hearts beating rapidly.

Joey reached into the side drawer and pulled out the lube. He looked in to Chris’s eyes and he smiled at the love and passion he saw there. Lubing up his fingers he slowly prepared Chris’s tight hole. It turned him on so much to see Chris pushing against his fingers.

Chris kept his eyes locked on Joey’s. He groaned when Joey brushed his prostate. “OH GOD JOEY! Now Please now.”

Joey pulled his fingers out of Chris and lubed his cock. He pushed slowly into Chris. His eyes fell shut at the feeling of the tight wet hole. “MMM. BABY..You feel so good.”

Chris groaned and whimpered. He was past making sentences. He just made encouraging and happy noises.

Joey pushed in and pulled out of Chris hard and fast. “BABY…I am gonna cum.”

Chris groaned, “YES…BABY…Cum I want to feel you come.”

They slammed together one last time and they came together screaming each other’s name. Joey fell on top of Chris. He waited for his breathing to get back to normal. When it did he rolled off of Chris and pulled the comforter back. He pulled it over them and Chris snuggled into his side.

Chris sighed, “That was wonderful baby. I am so lucky to have you now.”

Joey smiled down at Chris, “You aren’t near as lucky as me. I have you all to myself. I love you.”

Chris smiled and snuggled in to Joey. He laid his head on Joey’s chest, “I love you too.”

Joey laid awake for a little. He looked down at Chris and smiled, “I am so glad that I found. My life would be nothing with you in it.” He sighed and closed his eyes and followed Chris into a deep slumber.

The morning would come to find two lovers laying in each others with out a care in the world.

THE END!
