Justin slid his key into the door, waiting for the green light to flash at him before pushing it open and slipping inside. His bags were dropped quickly as he moved through the hotel room. Traces of JC were littered all over the suite. His shoes next to the couch, a book he was reading laying upside down on the end table, his wallet and phone and keys on the counter in the half kitchen. And as Justin moved through the suite and toward the bedroom, he heard water running in the bathroom.

Justin pushed the bathroom door open and slipped inside, steam surrounding him immediately, clinging to his skin. JC was humming to himself and Justin could just make out the outline of his naked body, back arched, head tipped back into the spray of water, through the thin shower curtain.

"Babe, I'm here." The humming stopped and the shower curtain was pulled back slightly, JC's head and shoulder peeking out from behind it. Drops of water dripped down his face, sliding along his nose, down his cheeks, off his chin. Justin wanted nothing more than to step into the shower with him and catch those drops of water, his tongue lapping at JC's skin. But he settled for leaning back against the counter, arms crossed over his chest and met JC's warm smile with one of his own.

"I'll just be a couple more minutes." He turned, Justin catching a glimpse of the pale skin of his back, smooth and dripping with water, before the curtain was pulled closed again, leaving Justin to stare at his body moving through the curtain, the steam still billowing around him.

Justin moved back out to the main room and grabbed his bags, dragging them into the bedroom and to the closet. His suit was removed from its garment bag and placed in the closet next to JC's when he heard the water shut off and the curtain pull back. JC appeared moments later, towel wrapped around his narrow hips. They met somewhere in the middle of the room, bodies moving automatically toward each other. Lips met and pressed against each other as JC's arms came up and slid around Justin's shoulders.

"Missed you," he mumbled against Justin's lips, pulling back just slightly. Justin could feel the smile slide across JC's lips as he slid his arms around JC's waist and pulled him close. His skin was still warm and damp and felt perfect pressed close to Justin's body.

"God it's been too long since I've been able to do this," Justin mumbled against JC's lips. But JC was prevented from answering as Justin's tongue came out, lapping softly against his lips. JC's mouth opened immediately, drawing Justin's tongue inside to swirl with his own. They finally pulled back and JC's eyes met his own for a moment before his head found Justin's shoulder, holding him close in a tight hug for a long moment.

They finally separated and Justin moved to the bed as JC moved to the closet, reaching for a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. They had the evening to themselves, but tomorrow was Joey's wedding. Justin smiled idly to himself as JC moved around the room, grabbing a pair of underware from his bag. It was about time Kelly made an honest man out of Joey. And Justin knew they'd be happy together, knew they'd spend the rest of their lives together, happy and in love. And he knew, looking at JC across the room as the towel dropped and JC pulled his underware on, that happiness and love forever was exactly what he wanted too, wanted with JC for the rest of his life.

JC pressed a hand fondly against Justin's cheek as he moved to the bed, reaching for the jeans he'd tossed next to Justin and Justin grinned widely.

"So," he started, drawing JC's full attention to him. "I heard something interesting." He couldn't hide the amusement in his voice and he saw JC's eyes crinkle slightly at his tone.

"Oh yeah? What's that?" Justin stood and moved to him, fingers looping through the belt loops on JC's jeans and pulling him close.

"I heard that, even though it might not sell any records, you'd kiss me in public." A grin lit up JC's face. "That true?" His voice was low, intimate. JC nodded softly, head tilting to meet Justin's lips in a quick kiss. "Just like that?" But JC shook his head, grinning.

"More like this," he mumbled, tongue coming out to lap at Justin's lips, sweeping inside when Justin gasped, licking at the hidden corners. Heat and warmth swirled around them, pushing closer to each other. JC's lips attached to Justin's jaw, sucking softly.

"I think I could live with that," Justin whispered, eyes slipping closed. "I also heard," he gasped as JC bit lightly at his shoulder, arching his back. "Also heard that you gave a very cryptic answer about which celebrity's house you'd had dinner at recently." JC pulled back, looking up at Justin from under long lashes, eyes on fire with want and Justin almost gasped again. "Since when did you get so coy in interviews, C?" He was smiling softly, fingers coming up to rub across JC's cheek. JC shrugged and pulled back, sitting on the bed and pulling Justin down with him, holding him against his chest.

"With Joe and Kelly getting married, I've been doing some thinking." Justin tilted his head up so he could see JC's face. "I love you, Justin. Want to spend the rest of my life with you." Justin nodded. This wasn't the first time they'd talked about this. "And I just figured why not throw some speculation out there. We don't plan on keeping this a secret for the rest of our lives. And I know we're not ready to tell the world yet, but I knew you'd know what I meant by my comments." He kissed Justin's forehead softly. "Besides, it gives the fans that believe in us something to talk about. I think it's been too long since we've given them anything. Just figured maybe it was time." He squeezed Justin slightly, hugging him close. And Justin could do nothing but wrap his arms around JC's waist and agree with him completely.
