Fate Will Gather Us Together Chapter Seven By Sophie V. (wind_phoenix@hotmail.com)
Gene was paralyzed as he felt Brian kissing him. He wanted to react but didn't find the strength to. Brian slowly moved his hand behind his neck and pulled him further in the kiss. After a few seconds, Gene finally closed his eyes and slowly started to kiss back. A few seconds after, he felt Brian's tongue pushing ahainst his lips. He then gasped and pulled back from the kiss for some air.
Brian looked at him, confused and a bit scared.
"I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't do that." He said, looking at his feet. Gene stayed quiet.
"I'm sorry, Gene... Really I am." Said Brian, a sad look on his face, as he looked up at Gene. Gene could see that Brian was sincere, but he stayed quiet, staring at Brian.
Brian then stood up and placed his guitar beside his bed, feeling tears in his eyes. After all, why would Gene want him?
"I never had Nick's heart... so there's no reason that he likes me." He thought, feeling down. "I am that undesirable?"
"I... supposed that we'll see each other tomorrow... for rehearse... and the concert..." said Brian, hesitant, his back facing Gene
Gene finally shook his head as he heard Brian's voice. It was full of sadness. He could tell that Brian liked him. But he liked him too... so why he didn't react? He finally stood up and walked toward him. Brian turned around and saw him, causing him to tense up. Perhaps he was going to hit him. He tightly closed his eyes and waited for the punch, when he felt a pair of arms around his waist. He opened his eyes and looked up at him, confused.
"We'll see each other in your bed too..." he said, smiling, as he leaned and kissed him passionately on his lips...
In Nick's room...
Nick was awakening by a slight music of a guitar. Brian's room was right beside his, so he naturally assumed that it's him who played guitar.
"Why he play guitar, now?" he wondered. He then just shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh... it's probably for the part when we must played all together..."
Then his thoughts fell on Gene. He thought he heard some voices... or it was his imagination.
"No... he can't be in Brian's room... It's nearly 11:30 AM..." he thought. He then frowned.
"It's not a reason... He could have stay and play guitar with Brian."
He then smiled as he thought at that. After all, why would Gene be in Brian's room at this hour?
"Well... it's not bad! To play guitar..." he thought. He then frowned a little. "Or they play another 'game'..."
He shook his head and sat up.
"Nick, calm down! Don't get that paranoiac!" he thought, "Gene said earlier that Brian wasn't his type of man..."
He put his elbows on each knee and put his chin in his hands.
"Unless he lied... I lied to him about Brian... god, I want him so much..." he whispered, a bit sad.
He shook his head one more time and finally plopped down on his bed. He decided to sleep until tomorrow morning... he worried too much.
Brian woke up the next morning because of the light of the sun that went through the shutters. He immediately felt a warm body against his and opened his eyes to see the angelic face of Gene Wiser.
"So cute..." he thought as he slowly stroke Gene's left cheek with his right hand.
He smiled as he looked at him. He was as cute and kind as Nick. Brian was a bit ashamed to be interested in Gene because his Nick's twin brother, but he couldn't help it. He was sure that he wouldn't have Nick, so when he saw Gene for the first time, despite the shock, he immediately found himself attracted to him. Since he knew him a little, Brian knew that he was starting to fall for him... He wasn't in love yet, but he was sure that once he knew Gene better than he did, he would fall without problems in love with him. That was a reason to why they didn't have sex last night... he didn't want to make love to someone until he was in love with... And he knew that Gene was feeling the same way.
He then saw him stirred a little and tiredly opened his eyes.
"Good morning, Gene." He said as he leaned and pecked him on the lips.
"'Morning, Brian." Said Gene as he returned the favor. "What time is it?"
Brian turned and glanced at his watch.
"8:00... Time to get up." Said Brian. Gene yawned and lightly scratched his head. "Tired, uh?"
"A little..." said Gene as he sat up. He looked down at Brian and smiled "I can't hardly believe that I have someone new in my life..."
Brian sat up and put his arms around him, smiling.
"Me too..." he whispered as he nuzzled in Gene's neck.
Gene was amazed by how fast his live had changed. He was the guitarist of a popular group, he found his "lost" twin brother and had a new boyfriend. He giggled quietly as he thought at that... boyfriend...
"Why are you laughing?" asked Brian.
"It just that... I was thinking that, now, I had a new boyfriend..." said Gene, shyly.
"I guess that's what we are..." said Brian, smiling.
"Yeah..." said Gene as he turned around and put his arms around Brian's waist. "I didn't have a boyfriend since... Jeff..."
As soon as he said that, his face changed into sadness. Brian saw this and hugged him tightly. He knew how much Gene was in love with him... it hurt him to think that their love story had ended by a tragedy.
"Shh..." he said softly "Calm down, Gene, it's okay..."
"I'm sorry..." said Gene as he rubbed some tears from his eyes. "I shouldn't bother you with that..."
"Gene, it doesn't bother me." Said Brian as he looked in his eyes "No matter if you want to talk about him, I'll always be there... I know how much you loved him..."
"It really doesn't bother you?" said Gene "I mean... I know that it's been more than two years since... what happen... and it's still hurt..."
"I understand, Gene." Said Brian "Remember that I was in the same situation..."
"Yes..." said Gene "But you get over it in a few months... you're stronger than me, Brian... I'm weak..."
Brian cupped his cheeks with his hands and then leaned and kissed Gene softly on the lips.
"I know that you're strong too, Gene." He said "I know that you still feel something for him, but I'm sure that not matter what happen in the future, you'll always be strong and go on with your life..."
"Thanks..." said Gene, smiling a little. He then took a big breath and expired slowly.
"Well... we have to get ready and take breakfast." he said as he got up. He then quickly put on his pants, the only thing that he took off last night. He looked at Brian, who was still in bed and watching him.
"What are you waiting for?" he asked, smiling.
"You know, you're fast." Said Brian, smiling as he got up and walked toward him. He kissed him lightly on the lips and said: "I see you at the restaurant...", his face at two inches from Gene's one.
"Yeah..." said Gene as he kissed him on the lips. He walked toward the door and exited the room while winking at Brian.
Brian blushed lightly and then walked in the bathroom, smiling.
Gene walked in the bedroom and saw Mark, Denis and Fred sitting on the bed, watching TV. As Mark heard him, he turned off the TV and looked at him, amused.
"Gene is back, alright!" he sang, as the others laughed.
"Where were you?" asked Denis. "When Mark said that you hadn't come back last night, we thought that the aliens had kidnapped you!"
"No, no!" said Gene, smiling "I just spend the night in Brian's room."
"Oooh... Someone get some ass!" said Mark, raising his eyebrows several times, as Denis and Fred laughed.
"Not like that, silly!" said Gene as playfully slapped Mark's arm. "We just had dinner and talked after."
"But why you didn't come back after?" asked Fred.
"Yeah!" said Mark as he looked at Gene evilly, a big smile on his face "Are you sure you don't keep something from us?"
Gene rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Well... it was late and as I was very tired, Brian proposed me to go in his bed..." he started to say when he saw Mark looking at him, smiling.
"... While he took the couch." He finished, smiling. This time a look of disappointment came on Mark's face.
"That's explain everything." Said Fred as Dennis nodded when Mark said: "No! Not everything!"
"Uh?" said the others.
"Why were you tired?" he asked as Dennis and Fred laughed. Gene looked at him oddly and finished to laugh with the others.
"Come on! It was very late!" he said.
"Yeah, yeah... just kidding..." said Mark. "Beside, you can walk... or is Brian can walk?"
Gene looked at him strangely, not understanding what he meant. He looked at Denis and Fred and saw them giggling. He looked back at Mark and saw a big goofy smile on his face. Then, his eyes went wide opened as he understood what he just said.
"That means war!" he said as he lunged at Mark. The two wrestled on Mark's bed, laughing, while the others looked at them, smiling.
A few minutes later, they were lying on the bed, panting and laughing.
"Well... I must clean up... I'll see you at the restaurant." He said as he got up, took some clean clothes and walked in the bathroom.
"Don't forget the bikini and leather collar!" called Mark.
"You wish!" said Gene from the bathroom.
"I do actually." Joked Mark as the others laughed.
Later...
"There you are!" said Kevin as he saw Gene. "I hope you're ready for the concert tonight."
"Yes I am!" said Gene, smiling.
"Good!... And don't forget to dry your hair!" said Kevin.
"Yeah, yeah I know!" said Gene as he rolled his eyes and sat next to Brian, who was sitting next to Nick.
"We're gonna have another hair-dyeing guy between us!" said Howie.
"No!" said AJ "I'M the hair-dyeing guy! Gene will just have to keep his hair brown!"
"You dry your hair too, AJ?" asked Gene.
"Yup!" said AJ as he pointed his hair "I don't many guys who had black and blue hair naturally."
The others laughed and Gene blushed for his stupid question.
"Oh, don't blush." Said Nick "We don't need a red-faced guy!"
The others just laughed as Gene got up and said:
"I'm going to take my food... someone need something?"
"I want another glass of orange juice, bro, please."
"Sure... something else?" he said, looking at everyone. The others said "No, thanks" and Gene walked away toward the buffet.
"He's very kind..." said Howie "It's good that we have him between us."
"Yes, it is..." whispered Brian as he looked at Gene. Except Nick, the others didn't hear and continued to talk.
"What do you mean?" he asked with a slight frown. Brian looked at him and saw the frown.
"I mean... You have find your brother... so I'm very happy for you." He said, smiling. Nick smiled too and thanked him.
"If you really knew, Nick..." he thought as he restarted to eat.
He didn't know that Nick was suspicious about something.
"Is he interesting in Gene?! No, it's not possible... why he wouldn't want me instead?" he thought, frustrated. He then remembered something.
"Unless Gene told him that he was bi... and Brian is interested because he's bi too and that he didn't know that I'm bi also..." he thought. He shook his head and restarted to eat.
"No, no... I'm just getting paranoiac because Gene and Brian seemed to went on well..."
Meanwhile...
Gene put his food from the buffet on his tray and took two glasses of orange juice, for his brother and him. He then saw Mark at the opposite side of the buffet.
"Hey!" he said, smiling. Mark looked up and smiled. He then looked at his left and right, put his tray beside him and mentioned to Gene to come. Gene looked a bit surprised but came toward him. He put his tray beside Mark's one and looked at him, questioning.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Speak lower." Whispered Mark "Listen, Gene, you know that I'm bi, uh?"
"Yes, you said it yesterday morning." whispered Gene, not understanding what Mark meant.
"Well... I'm very experimented in both boys and girls and I can say, and I'm not kidding, that you interest Brian." Mark whispered "I saw you guys before you went to the buffet."
Gene winced slightly. He DID have a relationship with Brian, but was he going to tell him?
"I'm right?" asked Mark.
"Yes..." said Gene "I know."
"And do you want him?" asked Mark.
"Mark... I'M with Brian." Admitted Gene. Mark looked at him surprised.
"Really?" he whispered. Gene nodded.
"So I was right this morning?"
"No." Whispered Gene as he rolled his eyes "We slept in the same bed but we didn't make it..."
"Okay... well, now I have to tell you that I think that Nick suspected something." He continued.
"What?!" said Gene, loudly. Mark mentioned him to be quiet as some people in the restaurant, and the guys, from the group and the band, were looking at them.
"Shh... I told you to be quiet." Whispered Mark.
"Sorry." Whispered Gene "But, how do you know that Nick suspect something?"
"I'm not sure, okay?" whispered Mark "But I think you should be discreet, Brian and you, because I think that he's jealous..."
"Mark, is it a joke?" whispered Gene, a frown on his face.
"Look..." said Mark "I know that I joke a lot, but when I'm talking about that, I'm damn serious. I have a lot of experience on it, Gene, so I must warned you."
Gene nodded as he continued.
"I'm not saying that I'm sure about Nick, but I think that you must think about it." Said Mark "If you want me to help you about it, just say so, okay?"
Gene nodded and hugged him.
"Thanks a lot, Mark." He said.
"Anytime, 'lil bro, anytime." Said Mark as he hugged him back and broke the hug.
"Honestly, I'm a bit worried about what Nick is gonna said when he'll know that I date his best friend..." he said.
"I really don't know..." said Mark "But I know that Nick cares a lot for Brian and that he doesn't want him to be hurt."
"I'll never hurt Brian." Said Gene. Mark smiled and nodded.
"I'm sure..." said Mark. He then took his tray and said: "Remember that I'm here if you need to talk."
"Thanks, Mark." Said Gene as he took his tray too. "I'll remember."
Mark smiled at him and the two of us walked back to their respective tables.
At Mark's table...
"What happens?" asked Denis as Mark sat next to him.
"Yeah, Mark, why Gene said 'what' so loud?" asked Fred.
"Well, guys, listen... I think that the kid will need some help..." said Mark.
At the Gene's table...
"What happens, bro?" asked Nick as Gene sat and gave him his glass of orange juice.
"It's seem to be an important conversation." Said Brian "What happened?"
"Uh... it's personal." Said Gene "All you need to know is that it's fixed."
"What is fixed?" asked Howie.
"Personal." Said Gene and Nick at the same time, which caused the others to laugh.
"Alright." Said Kevin "Just remember that if you have a problem, we're here."
"Thanks." Said Gene, smiling.
They all continued to eat quietly. Gene was soon lost in his thoughts as he thought about what Mark said. Especially one thing: 'Nick cares a lot for Brian...'
It was now 6:00 PM. Gene had spent the afternoon in Nick's room with Brian and Nick playing video games in N64. As always, Brian won against Nick in all the games. Nick, who was bad looser, was upset and that had amused his brother a lot. They were even amazed when they saw Gene beat all their records in each game. Nick said, before he went to his room to be ready, that one day he'd have his revenge.
"He can dream, it's not prohibited." He said, while laughing, as he remembered that. He looked at himself in the mirror, satisfied. He had put a black tee shirt and a pair of black jeans. He dried his hair too, so now, they were brown.
Then, he heard someone knocking at the door.
"Gene, it's me." Said a voice. It was Brian.
"Enter, it's open." Said Gene. Brian entered and smiled as he closed the door behind him and looked at Gene.
"Oooooh! Gorgeous!" he said as he walked toward him and put his arms around his waist.
"Well, I'll try." Said Gene, blushing. Brian leaned and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Really, you are..." said Brian as he broke the kiss "Your hairs look good too in brown."
"Yeah, thanks." Said Gene. "Nick said that you suggested to him one day to dry his hair in brown and he said that you liked it... so it's not new for you."
Brian looked at him and blushed, causing Gene to giggle.
"Okay, okay, so it's not a new compliment from me!" said Brian, smiling.
"Anyway, we must go, now." He said as he kissed Gene one more time. Gene returned it and after a few minutes, they both broke it and exited the room, joining the others in the lobby.
Later, in Gene's dressing room...
"Okay, that's it, Gene." He said, looking in the mirror "You first concert with your brother... Don't mess it!... Am I kidding? I never messed a concert!... oh well, I'm sure it's gonna be okay."
"You're talking alone?" said a voice behind him. He turned around and saw Brian and Nick, causing him to blush deeply.
"Don't worry, I'm sure it's gonna be okay." Said Nick, smiling.
"Yes, even if we're a bit nervous too!" said Brian "It's the last concert before we started the 'Black and Blue' Tour!"
"Okay!" said Gene. Then, Howie entered in the room.
"Nick! I met Peter in the hall and he asked is you have brought the papers with you." He said.
"Yes! I'm immediately going to give them to him!" said Nick as he quickly exited the room with Howie, leaving Brian and Gene alone.
"What papers?" asked Gene.
"Nick is working with Stan Lee..." said Brian.
"Stan Lee? It's him who created the 'Backstreet Project'?" Gene asked.
"Yes. Him and Nick. You saw some episodes?" asked Brian.
"Actually, no, but my sister does watch them... She explained that to me, one time." Said Gene, smiling.
"Well... Nick had some stuff to do with it, I don't know exactly what, and he had some papers to give to Peter, so it can be send quickly." Finished Brian as Gene nodded.
Brian walked toward him and pulled him in a passionate kiss that Gene was content to return. He pushed his tongue against Brian's lips and Brian opened his mouth, giving him total access. They continued to kiss for a few minutes until they broke it and Gene said, smiling:
"Always want kisses?"
"I can't get enough of your lips, they're so soft..." said Brian, smiling, as he leaned for another kiss.
"Guys!" they heard from outside. Gene abruptly pushed Brian away and a second after, Nick entered in the room. That was closed.
"We must go!" said Nick. Brian and Gene nodded and followed him. During that, Gene mouthed the word "I'm sorry" to Brian. Brian just smiled and mouthed "It's okay".
Perfect. That was the word that described this concert. There were no problems during it. Gene actually had some fun.
During some songs, Nick threw a glance toward Gene's direction. His brother was playing very good, whatever it was acoustic guitar or an electronic one. Yet, he remarked that he seemed to have more fun when it was an electronic one. He smiled each time. He was very proud of him.
What he didn't know, was that Brian was doing the same things as him. He was, too, glad that Gene was doing a good work and that he had fun.
And Gene? Well, sometimes, he looked at both Nick and Brian. He actually caught their glances several times. Both were smiling. He was very glad that the concert was good. He really hoped that it would be the same when the 'Black and Blue' Tour would started...
During the travel to the hotel, he received a lot of congratulation from the management, the band and the group. He was very glad but yet embarrassed. Brian saw that and couldn't help but thought how cute it was.
He exited the bathroom and walked back in his room, dressed in boxers and tee shirt, ready to sleep. He was surprised when he saw Brian sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Brian?"
"It was great, tonight. You're very talented." Said Brian sincerely.
"Thanks, but you already said it." Said Gene, smiling, as he sat next to him.
"Where's Mark?" asked Brian.
"Outside with Denis and Fred for clubbing." Said Gene.
"Good... that give some times for us." Said Brian as he put his arms around Gene's neck. Gene smiled and leaned, pulling Brian in a passionate kiss.
He put his arms around Brian and pulled him closer. Brian moaned a little and leaned in the kiss. They were so into the kiss that they didn't hear someone knocking and opening the door.
"Gene, do you know where's is Bri... WHAT'S THE HELL??!!!"
Brian and Gene immediately broke their kiss and looked at the door with fear, wondering who interrupted them...
