Notes: I got a scene in my head that refused to go away. A study hall short written in fourty two minutes or less.
Summary: Our two favorite 'cute ones' after the VMA's.

When he crawled into bed post after-party, there was already a body in it. "Didn't you have a concert tonight in Jersey?"

A sleepy voice answered. "Had them fly me back. The pilot probably thought I was coming to kill you. Should ask makeup to give you a black eye, make people think I roughed you up a little."

"I'm already roughed up a little." He rubbed his jaw. "Brit's a mean drunk."

"You should thank her for going with you tonight." He instinctively snuggled against the other man. "Not everyone would do what she does for you. For us."

"They started a rumor I proposed. That means when she finally meets someone, we can stage an explosive, painful breakup and no one will think it's odd if I don't date for a while."

"Oh, you'll be dating. Just no one will know about it."

"I'm sorry you guys didn't win anything."

"How are you going to apologize?" Even in the darkness, his leer could be seen.

"I'm sure we can think of something in the morning." He drifted off, and his lover idly traced his face as he joined the other man in sleep.

It was a picture that would shock their fans. (Most of them) Some would abandon them if they knew. Some would laugh at the insanity of this particular pair.

A select few would probably pay good money for the image of Justin Timberlake and Nick Carter curled together.
