And JC's being a dork in that story. He needs to realize fast that he loves Justin so he can have a happy family. Him, Justin, and Baby Josh! Anyway until next time:
Josh and Just 28
JC walked out of his den and made his way toward the kitchen. He stopped by the front door when he heard a knock. JC opened the door and smiled as Britney and Lance walked in.
"Hey you guys." JC said as he continued to walk toward to the kitchen.
"Hey JC. Where's your boy toy?" Lance asked.
"He's coaching." JC said walking to the fridge.
"Coaching?" Britney asked while taking a seat at the counter.
"Yeah. He's being a celebrity coach to this one basketball team. I think Paul's Son's son is on the team." JC said taking a pear out of the fridge.
"Wait. Paul's grandson?" Lance asked.
"Yeah The kid calls Justin, Uncle Justin. It's cute." JC replied.
"Wow. That's cool of Justin to do. When's the game?" Lance asked.
"Tonight Actually. They've been playing for two weeks and tonight's there final game. Do you guys want to come? Please come! I've been sitting alone in the stands for the past two weeks sitting next to mothers and father." JC begged.
"Yeah we'll come." Britney said.
"Thank god. Oh and be careful. A lot of girls come to see Justin coach." JC snickered.
"So we have got to get disguises?" Lance asked.
"Uhm some shades and a hat will do." JC replied.
"Okay what's the deal with Jennie's wedding? Are we flying over together?" Britney asked.
"I don't know do you guys want me to book the tickets?" JC asked.
"Well the wedding is in one week." Lance replied.
"Okay how about I book one for you two, me, Justin, Joey, Chris, Sarah, Tyler, and who else?" JC asked.
"Christina." Britney added.
"But Christina never knew Jennie. The only way we could take her is if Joey took her as a date." JC said.
"Okay well you two call Joey and Christina and I'll book the tickets." JC said taking a bite of his pear.
JC walked into the gym at the elementary school. Lance and Britney followed behind as they looked around for Justin. JC quickly spotted him on the court helping the kids practice. JC made his way up to Justin and nudged him.
"Hey." JC said.
"Hey! Hold on for a sec." Justin said before turning to the kids.
"Hey kids. I'll be right back okay? Keep practicing those lay-ups." Justin said before walking toward the stands with JC. He caught sight of Britney and Lance.
"Hey you two. Thanks for coming." Justin said as he hugged both of them.
"No problem. We're here to keep JC company." Britney replied.
"Good cause he's been sweet and come to every game so far." Justin said looking at JC lovingly.
"No problem. If it's important to my baby than I'll come." JC said as he playfully pushed Justin.
"Okay well you guys should take your seats cause the games about to start." Justin said.
"Okay Good luck. Sweetheart." JC whispered before giving him a hug.
"Thanks." Justin whispered back. JC began to walk toward the bleachers with Britney and Lance. JC went to the top and turned around. He saw a view of the whole court and could see Justin at the sidelines prepping the players. He took a seat between Britney and a woman who looked like a mother.
"Hello." JC said as he took a seat.
"Oh hello." She replied. The game started and JC watched as the kids stumbled and tripped over each other. He smiled at the innocence of the children. He could Justin at the sidelines calling plays while smiling at the same time.
"That's my boy. Number 11" the mother said pointing to her son.
"He's quite good." JC replied.
"You think? Which one is yours?" The mother asked while looking at JC.
"The nineteen year old on the sidelines with the clipboard." JC said pointing to Justin.
"Oh so you're friends with the coach?" The woman asked.
"Yes." JC replied.
"Mr. Timberlake is so kind to do this for the children." The woman stated.
"Yeah he is one kind man." JC agreed as he watched Justin move along the sidelines.
JC, Britney, and Lance walked down from the stands while the players left with their families. JC noticed a boy sitting on the bench sadly all alone. He made his way to Justin who was saying goodbye to a family. JC walked up to him and smiled.
"Hey! You guys won!" JC said happily.
"Yeah we did." Justin said while smiling.
"Justin why is that kid all alone there?" Lance asked.
"That's my nephew Zack. That's Paul's grandson. You see, Zack's dad couldn't make it because he is out of town. Zack's grandfather was suppose to pick him up but he didn't. Knowing Paul, he probably forgot. I don't know why my mother married him." Justin said bitterly.
"Poor kid." JC said as he walked over to him.
"Hey Zack." JC said as he took a seat next to him. Zack looked up to see who was talking to him.
"Hi." Zack replied timidly.
"Remember me?" JC asked.
"You're Uncle Justin's friend." Zack replied.
"I have a name you know!" JC started laughing. Zack looked up with a small smile.
"It's JC." JC said. The kid didn't answer.
"You know I think I'll be sad too. I'll just sit here and mope right next to you." JC said as he placed his elbow on his knee and cupped his face in his hand. Zack looked up at him and then went back to his sadness.
"Or we could go get some ice cream and celebrate your victory!" JC suggested.
"Really?" Zack asked.
"Yeah. Come on, my treat. I'll even let you drive." JC said holding out his keys.
"Really?!" The kid asked excitedly.
"Actually no. But we can go get ice cream." JC said. Zack looked down with a smile.
"Okay." Zack replied. JC and Zack stood and started to walk toward Justin. JC put an arm around Zack and walked side by side with him. JC looked toward Justin who looked back at him thankfully. JC smiled back at him and walked up to the group.
"Okay I promised this kid some ice cream so who else is up for it?" JC asked.
"Well I brought my car here. How about you guys go to the ice cream place and I'll meet you there once I finish everything here." Justin suggested.
"Is that okay with you?" JC asked Zack.
"Yeah as long as Uncle Justin comes too." Zack replied.
"Okay Buddy I'll be there for sure." Justin said ruffling the kids hair.
"You know I can't stand him! All he cares about is his work and his son is the same way. They don't care about Zack at all." Justin said angrily.
"Where is Zack's mother?" Britney asked taking a bite of her banana split she was sharing with Lance.
"Well she is in Tennessee with my mom. She didn't want to leave her alone there. You know? And Paul should have been there but he had to come back because he said his work is too important. What's more important than the person you love?" Justin snapped. He looked over at the counter where JC and Zack were laughing while drinking their malts.
"He's still a kid, and he still needs someone there for him." Justin sighed.
"Well what are you going to do now?" Lance asked.
"Well he'll come home with me and I'll chew Paul out when I see him. I've called him like ten times and he won't answer." Justin said taking a sip of his milkshake. Justin stopped when JC and Zack came walking over.
"You two about done yet?" Justin asked.
"Yeah I think we are. We're stuffed." JC said as he crouched behind Zack.
"Okay good. Hey Zack how does coming home with me and JC sound? You can stay at our place, while we wait for your grandfather." Justin said.
"Okay." The boy replied.
"Justin. I'll take your car, you go ahead and drive with JC." Lance offered.
"Okay sounds good." Justin replied.
Justin walked into his house with Zack and JC following. He turned on the lights to find Tyler asleep on the couch. Leo and Ozzie began to run around the living room as the three people came into the house.
"You know why don't I just take Zack upstairs to our room and he can watch TV there or something. While you call what's his name." JC whispered to Justin.
"Yeah sounds good." Justin replied. JC nodded and began to lead Zack upstairs. Justin picked up the cordless and began to dial. He took a seat on the kitchen counter and listened to the ringing.
"Hello?" Paul asked as he answered the phone.
"Hey Paul, forget something?" Justin asked bitterly.
"What do you mea. . ." Paul began. He soon stopped when he realized he forgot about Zack.
"Yeah that's what I thought. How could you? Your own grandson! Yeah that's right you're a grandpa, you should start acting like one. You know sometimes other things are second to family. He was counting on you today and all you could do was forget?" Justin snapped.
"Listen Justin, I had to close this deal tonight and it just slipped my mind. I love Zack with all my heart and he knows that, it's just I couldn't have left work without closing that deal." Paul retorted.
"Oh please Paul! You cannot sit there and tell me that. Even I duck out of work to be with the one's I love. Hell JC has done it soo many times just to be with me. It wouldn't hurt to leave for a couple hours to watch your GRANDSON'S game." Justin replied.
"Don't take that tone of voice with me young man." Paul snapped back.
"You can't tell me what to do. You're not my father. You never were and you never will be." Justin replied.
"I may not be your biological father but I'm your step father. I have some say in what you do." Paul responded.
"No you don't. Maybe if you were there when I broke my arm and was in the hospital instead of heading to Miami to meet with a client. Or If you were there when I had trouble with my Algebra. But you weren't. You were never there. And I needed you at times. JC had to be my father sometimes and tell me it was okay. How does that make you feel? Knowing that my friend at the time who lived like ten states away still made time to hear my problems over the phone while my step-father was too busy to stop and talk to his step-son for two minutes." Justin said as a few tears escaped his eyes.
"Justin I'm sor. . ." Paul began.
"You know what? save it! Cause I don't care anymore. I have my Mom, My real Dad, Lisa, Two baby brothers and a little sister as well as JC and the rest of the guys getting me through life. I just called you to say your grandson is at my house. If you come to pick him up fine. If not he's staying with me and Josh. Goodbye." Justin said as he hung up the phone. Justin looked at the phone in his lap as the tears escaped from his eyes before wiping them away and hoping off the table. He looked toward the door and saw Zack with a sad expression on his face.
"Hey Zack. What's wrong?" Justin asked as he walked over to the 7 year old.
"You got into a fight with Grandpa." Zack said sadly.
"Yeah we did. We just don't agree on certain things. But let's not think about that now. Let's go watch some cartoons okay?" Justin suggested as he wiped the last of the tears away. Zack nodded slowly before following Justin. He reached out and took Justin's hand. Justin looked down at the boy and then at their interlocked hands and smiled. He squeezed the boy's hand tighter and started to walk up stairs with his nephew.
Lance and Britney walked into Justin's house and made their way upstairs to Justin's room. They quietly opened the door and found Justin, Zack and JC sitting on the bed while they watched TV.
"Hey you guys." Lance said softly.
"Hey." JC replied.
"Uncle Justin, is that guy going to get hurt?" Zack asked as he turned to look at Justin.
"Oh I dunno Zack. He is one crazy guy let's see if he can pick up that snake." Justin replied.
"Oooo! The Crocodile Hunter! I love this show." Lance said as he to hopped onto the bed to watch.
"Oh Lordy! I've been dumped for Steve Irwin!" Britney said while making her way to the futon.
"Hello?" Joey asked as he poked his head into the room.
"How are you guys getting in here? Didn't we lock the door?" JC asked.
"Nope." Joey replied. He took a glance at the TV before eagerly sitting on the floor to watch.
"He's sooo cool!" Joey said.
"Joey did you dye your hair a different color?" Justin asked noticing Joey's hair.
"Yeah it's Fire red instead of Ruby. I met a girl who liked fire red!" Joey replied.
"Well I like baby blue. Will you dye your hair that color for me?" Justin joked.
"Oooo! Joey's dying his hair for a girl. Is this something serious?" JC asked.
"Nope she has a boyfriend. Met her at a club. Probably never going to see each other again." Joey replied.
"Joe we got to get you settled." Lance said.
"No way! I like going to clubs every night and not having to worry whether I'm faithful or not." Joey said.
"Oh I see." Justin replied.
"Uncle Justin? Can I go to a dance club?" Zack asked.
"No Zack you may not. Never in your life." Justin replied by placing a kiss on his forehead.
"Hey don't be so overprotective. You wanted to go to when we first started. You totally wanted to go but you were too young so we had to sneak you in!" Joey replied.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I remember. But then I got tired of dragging someone home because they were too drunk!" Justin said glaring at Joey.
"Okay well I stopped over drinking. I now can have a goodnight with only one or two drinks. I should be praised." Joey said as he buttoned up his jacket as if he was a nobleman. Justin, JC, and Lance gave a small golf cheer. Justin popped up when he heard the doorbell ring. He climbed out of bed and walked out of the door. He made his way to the door and opened it to reveal Paul.
"Hi Paul." Justin said as he walked away and back up the stairs.
"Follow me." Justin said. Paul walked in and closed the door before following Justin up the stairs. Justin opened the door causing everyone to look toward the door.
"Hi Paul." Lance said.
"Hey Paul." JC waved.
"Hola Pablo." Joey said while keeping his eyes on the TV.
"Hello Fellows. Hello Britney. Zack are you ready to go?" Paul asked.
"Yeah Grandpa." Zack said as he looked around for his shoes.
"Bye Uncle JC." Zack said giving him a hug.
"Bye Zack. Come by anytime you want okay?" JC said as he ruffled his hair.
"Okay." Zack said as he hopped off the bed. He put on his shoes and stumbled a bit before walking to the door. "Bye Uncle Justin." Zack said giving him a hug.
"Bye Buddy. Anytime you want to drop by you can okay? Just give me a call." Justin said.
"Okay." Zack replied after taking Paul's hand.
"Bye everyone." Paul waved as he walked out of the room. Justin walked out to the door with him.
JC walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of blue silk boxers. He lightly scratched his bare chest before heading to his bed with Justin. Justin laid on top of the covers staring at the muted TV blankly. While he fiddled with the remote in his hands. He had the same blue boxers on as JC, him too with a bare chest.
"Hope you don't mind. I borrowed a pair of your boxers. They just feel nice when I sleep." JC teased. Justin snapped out of his trance and looked at JC with question. Justin adjusted his wire framed glasses quickly before resting his head back against the head board.
"Sweetheart what's wrong?" JC asked as he fluffed his pillow. He laid down next to Justin lightly began to rub his abs soothingly. Justin always liked it when JC did that. He felt warm and loved. He let out another sigh and shook his head. JC watched as a single tear fell from his eyes. JC got worried and sat up in bed. He turned his body so he faced Justin.
"Justin? Sweetheart What's wrong?" JC said as he tenderly rubbed Justin's hand within his own.
"Josh. Paul totally forgot about Zack today. That kid has to face so much. His mom is out of town. His dad is god knows where working. His grandfather is as work-oriented as his father. I don't want to turn out like that." Justin said as he shut his eyes tightly causing a few more tears to fall from his eyes.
"Justin. You aren't going to become like that. You showed me today that you are going to be a great dad. You took Zack in when he needed you. You were his father for a day and you gave things up just to make sure he was okay." JC replied.
"Like what?" Justin asked.
"We had a date tonight remember. We were going to go to the movies and afterward a walk on the beach of that lake." JC reminded.
"Oh Josh! I totally forgot! I'm sooo sorry. You see! I'm just like Paul!" Justin said sadly, lifting his glasses off his nose a bit to let his fingers wipe the tears away from his eyes. JC crawled across the bed to the tissue box on the nightstand. He crawled back and sat in front of Justin once again. He softly took off Justin's glasses and placed them off to the side. He gently ran the tissue over Justin's eyes wiping away all the tears.
"Justin. Honey. You forgot because your paternal instincts came through. You knew a little child was in need of help and you went to it. So you are a little forgetful. But I know you will never be forgetful when it comes to our kids." JC soothed as he let his thumb run over Justin's cheek while cupping it with his palm.
"You know, can't you ever let me be sad for like ten minutes?" Justin laughed slightly.
"Nope because you have beautiful smile that I always want to see." JC replied placing a small kiss on Justin's nose.
"I love you." JC whispered as he sat back.
"I love you too." Justin responded. JC smiled and laid down on the bed with a couple of pillows propping up his head so he can stare at the TV. Justin cuddled up to him and placed his head down on JC's chest, just under his chin. JC leaned forward a tiny bit and kissed the top of Justin's head.
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Justin asked.
"I want two boys and a girl." JC replied.
"Really? I want twins. I just think it would be cool to have twins." Justin smiled.
"It would beside the fact that we'll never be able to have sex again." JC replied.
"Then let's get as much as we can right now." Justin said seductively as he sat up and crawled to the lamp to turn it off.
Justin walked into the house carrying shopping bags in his hand. He turned around and waved to Chris before closing the door. Justin walked into the living room and found JC napping on the couch with his head using the armrest for a pillow. He smiled to himself as he watch JC sleep soundly. Justin laid down his shopping bags and walked up behind the armrest JC was resting his head on. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on JC's lips. JC let out a small moan and squirmed a bit before opening his eyes to Justin. He gave Justin a tired smile as he rubbed his eyes. Justin walked around the armrest and carefully laid himself down on top of JC. JC wrapped both arms around his waist as Justin rested his head on JC's shoulder.
"How was shopping?" JC asked as he let out a yawn.
"It was good. I got the wedding present. It took forever because they registered at this store which isn't even in Orlando. So we had to drive a bit to get there. When we register for our marriage lets make it somewhere where every one can find." Justin replied.
"Like where?" JC asked.
"Tiffany's." Justin replied. JC gave a small laugh and leaned his head down to kiss Justin's head. Justin absent mindedly began to play with his musical note chain as he lay on JC quietly. The two quickly heard someone come through the door. They lifted their heads and looked up to see Lance, Britney, and Joey laughing as they hurried into the living room.
"Quick! Turn it to channel seven!" Lance yelled as he grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. JC and Justin sat up and took a seat next to each other while Britney, Joey and Lance continued to laugh. Justin looked at the screen in horror as he saw himself. He quickly buried his face in JC's shoulder while JC started laughing. Justin grabbed JC's shirt tightly as his face turned bright red.
"Ooooh It's my baby's first movie!" JC cooed as he watched the screen.
"What was it called again? Model Attitude? Model Conduct?" Joey asked.
"It's Model Behavior!" Justin corrected before he laid his reddened head back down on JC's shoulder. JC wrapped an arm around Justin's shoulder as he watched the screen.
"Wait my favorite line!" Lance shushed.
"What? Do I got food in my teeth or something?" Jason Sharp, the character Justin played, said. Lance began to laugh hysterically as did Joey while Britney giggled silently. JC tried to hold in his laughter but his wide grin gave him amusement away. Justin sat up and smacked JC in the chest.
"Oh Sweetheart. We're not laughing at you. We're laughing with you." JC said as he hugged Justin tightly.
"I'm laughing at him!" Joey said raising his hand.
"Justin. You cannot act at all!" Lance laughed.
"Excuse you Lance!! Look who's talking. Does a certain episode of 7th Heaven ring a bell? I have it on tape if you want me to remind you." Justin retorted with a smirk. Lance stopped his laughing and looked at Justin seriously.
"Yeah! Bust it out!!! Lance was sooo funny in that!" Joey replied laughing. He fell to the floor and started to pound the floor with his fist. JC and Justin began to laugh at Joey while Britney walked over to where Lance was sitting and took a seat on his lap.
"Lance? Honey? You can't act either." Britney said before placing a kiss on his lips. Lance started to fiercely tickle her causing her to giggle and squirm.
"Well I thought you were cute Sweetheart. The only part I didn't like is when you kissed her." JC replied.
"Oh Baby it was just a harmless kiss. It wasn't that bad. Here let me show you." Justin said as he moved in and started to kiss JC slowly and passionately. The two separated with JC looking stunned.
"Wow that was good." JC replied.
"I know." Justin smirked before standing up and walking to the kitchen. JC turned and watched him leave.
"JC this is the time where you get up and run after him and then throw him on top of the counter and make out with him for like an hour." Joey suggested. JC quickly patted Joey on the back.
"Thanks Joe!" JC said as he ran after Justin.
Justin let out a small sigh of relief now that Joey, Britney, and Lance had left. He smiled as he remembered his make out session with JC on the kitchen counter. He made his was to the refrigerator slowly. Justin opened the fridge and rummaged through the shelves as he looked for food to use for dinner. JC walked into the room and smiled as he saw Justin leaning inside the refrigerator. JC grinned as he walked up behind Justin and lightly squeezed his butt. Justin popped up in shock and whirled around to see JC smiling back at him.
"You think you're so cute huh?" Justin asked with a smirk, feeling JC's arms go around his waist and pull him closer. JC simply nodded giving Justin a grin.
"Well you are." Justin said placing a kiss at the tip of JC's nose before walking to the counter.
"What are you doing?" JC asked curiously as he placed his chin on Justin's shoulder as he looked down at what Justin did.
"I'm cooking." Justin replied as he mixed a bunch of ingredients into the bowl.
"Are you sure? Cause that doesn't look like food." JC said pointing to what Justin was making. Justin smacked JC's hand away before elbowing him in the stomach. JC let out a groan before stumbling away from Justin and collapsing into a seat.
"I was just joking." JC laughed as he looked at Justin who continued to mix.
"So was I." Justin smirked back before beginning to chop up vegetables.
"What exactly are you making?" JC asked.
"I'm making a stew. It's a recipe my father gave me. It's been handed down from father to son for generations and now I thought I'd make it for you." Justin replied with a hint of his Tennessee accent.
"You're so cute." JC replied. Justin looked up from his pot and gave JC a smile before looking back down.
"And when will this stew be ready?" JC inquired.
"In about thirty minutes." Justin replied.
"Good just enough time for us to go upstairs and fool around." JC grinned. Justin rolled his eyes and smiled briefly before leaning over the counter to place a kiss on JC's lips.
"How about we just fool around in here?" Justin smiled seductively.
"Sounds good to me." JC responded. He got up from his stool and walked behind Justin and started to kiss his neck gently. JC leaned forward causing his arms to be placed down on the counter. He accidentally moved too forward and ended up placing his hand on a hot stove top. He recoiled in pain and waved his hand through the air.
"Ahhhhh Shhhhit." JC said through clenched teeth. Justin stopped JC's movements and took a look at the hand. He had a mild burn which was beginning to redden. Justin led JC by the hand to the faucet where he turned on the cold water . Justin gently placed the hand under the water. Justin slowly started to caress the hand over the burn marks.
"Does that hurt?" Justin asked. JC shook his head as he melted to the touch of Justin caressing his hand.
"Well then it's not that bad. We'll just put some cream on it and bandage it up." Justin said turning off the water. He led JC back to the stool he had been sitting in and sat him down. Justin rummaged under the sink before finding the first aid kit. He placed it on the counter and took JC's hand in his own. He lightly started to apply the burn ointment to JC's hand stopping suddenly when hearing JC gasp.
"Oh nothing. It's just a knot in my shoulder. Not the burn." JC replied when he noticed Justin had stopped. Justin nodded and resumed applying the cream. He stopped and took out a strip of gauze. He wrapped it around his lover's hand softly before taping it closed. He brought the hand up to his lips and placed a small kiss before closing the kit and putting it away.
"Where did you learn so much about first aid?" JC asked with a grin.
"Oh please! I have little siblings. You wouldn't believe how many times I had to fix up a scrape or clean a small wound. Or even disinfect something." Justin said placing a small kiss on JC's cheek. JC looked up to see a small cloud of black smoke rise from the stove top.
"Justin! Your stew!" JC yelled.
An hour later the two found themselves sitting on the couch while watching a movie, eating take - out Japanese food. JC sat against the back of the sofa while Justin sat between his spread legs, resting his back against JC's chest.
"Sweetheart? Do you want any more of this tempura?" JC asked as he handed the carton to Justin.
"No thanks. Me and my teriyaki are just fine." Justin said sullenly.
"Ohh Baby, it's okay. I bet that stew would have been real good." JC replied.
"I know I just don't know how the heat got turned up to high when I put it on low." Justin replied.
"I think I might have accidentally turned the knob when I was waving my arm around." JC replied by placing a kiss on Justin's cheek.
"Does it hurt?" Justin asked taking JC's hand in his.
"No. Just a little sore whenever I touch something." JC replied. He placed his chopsticks into Justin's carton and took a piece of chicken. He placed it into his mouth quickly before placing his box of tempura down. Ozzie jumped onto the couch and started to bark as he placed his front paws up against JC's body.
"Yeah Oz. What do you want?" JC asked taking the growing dog into his hands. He placed the dog down in Justin's lap and petted him softly.
"He's gotten bigger and his hair is beginning to grow." Justin replied noticed as he placed down his carton and petted Ozzie as well. Leo jumped onto the couch and started to poke his snout at JC's arm wanting him to put it around his body. JC complied and began lightly play with Leo's ears, causing the dog to become irritated. JC smiled before leaning down and placing a small kiss on the top of it's head.
"Leo got his spots. He actually looks like a Dalmatian. You know we should take them for a walk." JC said.
"Sounds good to me." Justin said rising from his seat. JC moved his legs before getting up himself.
JC held the leash for Leo while Justin followed next to him with the leash to Ozzie. The two walked side by side down the township street that was deserted in the moon light. Ozzie and Leo strode next to each other every once in a while starting a game of touch and run.
"You know you looked cute on TV today." JC said striking up a conversation.
"Thanks Sweety." Justin replied with a slight sad tone in his voice.
"Sweetheart what's wrong?" JC asked as he turned his head to look at Justin's face.
"Nothing it's just I've been swept into all this so quickly. That I can't be a regular teenager. You know? I've never really had a chance to be a kid." Justin sighed.
"Like what?" JC asked.
"Like stuff that teenagers would do. I should be out with my friends at a club or cramming for a test I have. You know? I never had a best friend that I've known since childhood. I'm just lucky that I found you when I did and had a chance to grow a serious friendship with you. I never got to talk to my friends about that killer math test or that dorky teacher or how bad the cafeteria food was. You know? I've never been to a Homecoming Dance. I've never been to my prom! Those friends I do have are off in college and all that while I'm here in the public eye twenty-fours hours a day. Instead of being able to live on campus I'm out touring the world. I'm signing contracts and making sure we don't get ripped off. I'm in an adult relationship which isn't a bad thing, but I just wish I could've had a couple of normal crushes before meeting you. I just want to be able to be a teenager for once." Justin said, he hadn't realized that a couple of tears escaped his eyes. JC started to lead them into the neighborhood park which was deserted. Lights illuminated the basketball courts while sending some light to the playground area near by. JC directed Justin to the dimly lit playground. He sat Justin down on a swing and crouched in front of him.
"I'm sorry Justin. I never really thought about it from your view. It's just that the whole `N Sync started after I graduated from high school and never really thought about what you missed. I know that you gave up so much and I wish I could take you back in time to that Homecoming Dance or your prom but I can't. I know that we've rushed a little in our relationship and if you want to slow it down or take a little break I'll be fine with it. I'm not saying that I'm happy with it because I love you with all my heart and know I want to spend the rest of my life with you but if it makes you happy to take a break than I'll understand. I just want you to be happy." JC said sadly.
"No Josh, I don't want to stop our relationship at all. It's the one sane thing in my life. I know I want you and only you. It's just that I'm nineteen and already having dogs with someone. You know?" Justin replied. JC gave a small laugh and nodded.
"I know Babe. I know." JC said taking a seat on a swing next to the one Justin sat on. Justin got up and took a seat on JC's lap. JC let out a groan before wrapping his arms around Justin's waist. He kissed Justin's clothed back before rubbing Justin's shoulders.
"I'm sorry I brought this up." Justin said regretfully.
"No! Don't be. You have a right to get this off your chest and I'm glad I'm here for you." JC replied.
"It's no use though. I'm still a nineteen year old celebrity who is recognized everywhere. My face will still be on every channel when we get home." Justin replied.
"I know Sweetheart. I wish I could do something but I can't. Unless you feel like leaving N Sync. But if you do it won't be N Sync it'll just be Sync." JC jested. Justin cracked a smile and nodded.
"Don't worry I'm not going to leave N Sync. N Sync and you are the best things that happened to my life. And I sure as hell am not giving them up." Justin replied as he watched Leo and Ozzie run around the jungle gym. JC leaned up and placed a small kiss on the back of Justin's neck.
"I love you." JC said tightening his grip on Justin.
"I love you too." Justin replied.
"I have an idea Sweetheart. Why don't you take a little time off and go visit some of your friends at college. You can get a grip on how college really is." JC suggested leaning a bit to the side to see Justin's face.
"That sounds great but we have no time. In a couple of days we have to head to Hawaii and then when we come home I know we're starting preparations for our next tour and stuff. I'm way to busy to do that." Justin replied.
"Okay Baby listen. When we come home I'll handle the management and have them postpone prepping for the tour for like a week so you can have maybe a week and half to two weeks to visit some friends. Sound good?" JC asked.
"Yeah but I don. . ." Justin started.
"Sweety does it sound good?" JC asked again.
"Yeah, but. . ." Justin started again.
"No buts, does it sound good?" JC asked once again.
"Yes." Justin replied.
"Than that's what I'm going to get you." JC replied. Justin got off of JC's lap and smiled while he turned to face his boyfriend. He held out his hand for JC to grab and pointed his head toward the sidewalk again. JC took Justin's hand and whistled for the dogs to come. Ozzie and Leo ran up to them eagerly. Justin and JC latched their leashes onto the dogs' collars and started to walk back to their house, side by side having their hands interlocked.
"Ow!" JC said as he grabbed his shoulder in pain. Justin stopped brushing his teeth and looked at JC worriedly. He quickly spit and took a gulp of water. He spit back into the sink and rinsed it out before walking over to JC hurriedly. JC took a seat at the edge of the whirlpool bathtub and winced in pain.
"What's wrong Josh?" Justin asked taking a seat next to him. Justin pulled away the thin white T- shirt around his shoulder to see if anything broke the skin.
"Oh it's just this knot. I've had it all day. It's nothing." JC shrugged causing him to wince.
"Liar. What you're going to do is take you shirt off and go lay face-down on the bed. And I'll be right out okay?" Justin said.
"Hmmm getting almost nude with my boyfriend. Sounds like a plan to me." JC said arching his eyebrows.
"Oh just go lay down you sexpod." Justin said pushing him out of the bathroom. Justin quickly wiped his mouth and shuffled through the drawers. After a little searching he found what he was looking for. He hit the lights for the bathroom as he walked into the master bedroom he shared with JC.
"What's that? What are you going to do to me?" JC asked worriedly. Justin adjusted his wire framed glasses quickly before smiling at JC.
"It's just some massage oil. Now lay down on your stomach. I'm going to sit on your tush okay?" Justin asked.
"Ohh my tush. You sound like my grandma." JC joked.
"But you're grandma doesn't do this." Justin said as he slapped JC's ass before squeezing it tightly.
"Oh yes she dose." JC joked once more.
"You're such a perv." Justin replied taking a seat on JC's butt. Justin placed his knees on both sides of JC's lower torso and leaned forward as he grazed his hand over JC's back.
"You have a sexy back. I never realized how lucky I am." Justin said leaning down and placing a kiss at the center of JC's shoulders.
"Why thank you." JC managed to reply. Justin slowly poured some of the massage oil into his hand and applied it to JC's shoulders. JC let out a pleasing moan as he felt the cool oil on his back. Justin slowly and softly started to kneed the flesh of JC's upper back causing JC to close his eyes and moan in approval.
"You know you're just getting hurt all over the place. First your hand and then your shoulder. I'll just have to make sure you don't do anything from now on." Justin said quickly adjusting his glasses with the back of his hands in order not to get oil on them.
"Fine with me. You know you should become a masseuse cause this is good." JC said in a relaxed tone.
"I know." Justin smiled proudly. The two heard a brief knock on the door before Tyler walked in. He stopped for a second at the sight of Justin and JC.
"Uhm You guys! I have a surprise for you and you aren't going to like it." Tyler said seriously.
"What? What's wrong?" JC asked looking at Tyler.
"Our Cousin Troy is coming." Tyler said softly.
"WHAT!?!?!" JC yelled as he quickly popped up causing Justin to fall backwards.
