****Hello all! Thanks for all the wonderful e-mails. I'm trying to reply to all of them as fast as I can. But I also have a tone of work to do as well as a bunch of projects and studying to do in school. Haha. Wouldn't have guessed I was a student huh? Well I am and I have a whooooole load of stuff this being dead week and all. Oh I don't think you guys have that term. It's the week before finals. Anyways. I hope you all like this. And oh I like Brittany so she isn't gonna be the bad guy. Sorry. But she will be a big part of the story maybe. So anyways. On with the story.
Disclaimer: JC and Justin may not be gay and this story doesn't intend that they are. And all that.
Josh and Just 3
"All first class passengers and passengers with little children are now boarding for flight 803, non- stop to Orlando, Florida." The announcement caused Justin to break his gaze away from JC to see everyone else getting up to board.
"Come on JC." Justin said standing up and grabbing his bag. He walked away and scolded himself for saying that out loud. He looked back to see JC still sitting on the floor looking off into space.
"Yo Josh. Come on buddy." Justin shouted as he walked back over to JC. JC looked toward Justin and stood up with the aid of Justin.
"Who do you love?" JC asked.
"What?" Justin asked as he dragged JC toward the gate.
"You said `I think I love him'. Now who is it that you love?" JC asked, following Justin who dragged him down the corridor leading to the plane.
"Just some crush I have." Justin replied as he handed the flight attendant his boarding pass. He handed her JC's as well and let her direct the two to their seats. Justin took his seat by the window with lance sitting next to him. JC sat on the other side of the aisle, still trying to figure out what Just was talking about. He hopped up and walked over to Lance and Justin.
"Hey Lance can I sit next to Justin for a little while?" JC asked.
"Why? Anything you need to say to him, you can say in front of me." Lance said being stubborn.
"Lance. It's about guys." JC responded.
"Okay I'm out of here. I'll be right here. Just call me when you two are done." Lance said switching seats. JC took a seat in Lance's seat and looked toward Justin.
"Okay who's this crush? And how come you never told me about him. Well besides the whole, `you didn't know I was gay til this morning' thing." JC joked.
"Well I don't. I guess cause I'm not used to telling anyone and I'm still not used to it." Justin hinted.
"So that means you're not going to tell me." JC concluded. Justin flashed him a smile and nodded. "You know after all that we've been through, you'd think I would be the person who knows everything." JC complained.
"Oh I'm sorry JC. You know that you are my best friend. And you know you are closer to me than anyone else in this world. But I don't know how I feel about this guy yet and once I do I'll tell you okay?" Justin asked.
"I guess so. But you know you can be completely honest with me and it'll be fine. I won't judge you or treat you any differently. Right?" JC asked.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I get all the emotional crap." Justin laughed.
"Shut up." JC grinned.
"Okay I have one! Freddie Prinze Jr. or Nick Lachey?" JC asked.
"Have to go with Freddie. He's adorable." Justin responded. JC nodded, agreeing with Justin. "Okay I have one. Brian Littrell or Nick Carter?" Justin proposed.
"Brian. Has to be Brian." JC replied.
"No I like Nick more. He's so tall and handsome." Justin disagreed.
"What are we talking about?" Chris inquired while standing from his chair which was behind them.
"Guys." Justin told him.
"What about them?" Chris asked.
"We're talking about how cute guys are." JC laughed.
"Oh." Chris replied, not getting it. "Ohhh!!! Ewwww." Chris finally understood. Justin and JC broke into laughter.
"Want to join us?" Justin asked.
"No thanks. I'll stick to humans with breasts." Chris replied walking away. Justin looked toward who placed on his head phones. Justin watched as JC bobbed his head to the music, smiling to himself as his best friend made a fool out of himself, trying to lip sync. Justin chuckled to himself and laid his head down against the window of the plane. His thoughts raced through his mind as he let himself fall into slumber.
JC took off his headphones and looked around. Lance was busy looking through some papers while Joey read a book. Chris was trying hard to stay awake but was failing. JC looked next to him and saw Justin fast asleep in the most uncomfortable position imaginable. His elbow rested on the armrest while his head was cradled in the palm of his hand. Yet he looked innocent within his sleep. JC slowly took a pillow from under his chair and placed it on his shoulder. He gently pulled Justin's hand down and brought the eighteen year old's head to his padded shoulder. He made sure Justin was comfortable before flipping through a magazine. `I still can't believe that Justin is gay too. It's incredible. What are the odds of two gay guys becoming best friends before they knew about each other. Well it could have been attraction. But it was way before I even knew I was gay.' JC thought as he mindlessly flipped through the pages.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Lance asked. JC looked up to see Lance kneeling next to him.
"Prices have raised. It's now a quarter." JC responded.
"Hey! What's with the jack up?" Lance carried the joke.
"Yeah well, welcome to the twenty-first century." JC replied, with a smirk.
"Okay cut the crap. What's wrong? You seem to have gone into that `I have a lot on my mind and don't know what this all means' look." Lance claimed.
"Well I do have a lot on my mind but nothing that I can't figure out myself." JC responded.
"Okay. What's with this like separation your causing. We used to be close. Not close like you and Justin but still close." Lance stated.
"Well if you want to know. It's about a guy." JC replied.
"We can talk about that if you want. I have to get used to it. I don't know if I'll be much good but I can try." Lance said getting comfortable on the floor next to JC's chair. JC looked down at his friend and chuckled.
"Okay well I can't really talk about it right now in front of a certain best friend. Cause it's about him." JC whispered to Lance.
"Okay but when we get back to Orlando, you can come talk to me when ever you need to. I'll be there for you, you know?" Lance assured.
"I know you will be. Thanks Scoop." JC said as he ruffled Lance's hair.
"Hey are you guys staying at my house this week or are you guys crashing at Justin's abode?" Lance asked.
"I think we decided that we are going to stay at your place. But we're bringing Jonathan. He's kind of missing Justin, and Randall and Lisa are in town visiting Lynn and Paul about little Steven's first birthday." JC replied.
"Okay." Was Lance's only reply.
"Please fasten your seat belts for our final descent." The announcement came through the speakers waking many people up again. JC looked next to him and saw Justin was still asleep.
"Justin. Wake up." JC said, trying to shake Justin awake.
"Ohhhh JC. You're so sweet." Justin mumbled as he shifted positions. JC looked toward Justin quickly before snapping back to feel the plane begin to make it's way down to the ground. He quickly reached over and grabbed Justin's seatbelt and tried to fasten it closed. He had a little difficulty trying to place the seat belt together. A quick movement of the plane caused Justin to wake up and look down at what JC was doing. He gave him a smile and assisted JC in fastening the belt. JC glanced at Justin and smirked as he sat back up in his seat. Justin ran his fingers through his hair and sat back up for the landing.
"Josh you're coming with me to our house first and then we'll head over to Lance's afterwards right?" Justin asked.
"Yeah sure. I should drop off some stuff and say hi to your parents too. And I can't wait to see how Laura grew and how Jonathan has grown. And I want to see that rugrat Steven." JC said, listing off all of Justin's siblings. `He's so good with children.' Justin thought.
"They'll love to see you again. You know Jonathan told me that he has two older brothers. Me and you." Justin laughed.
"He is like my little brother. Hope Tyler doesn't get jealous." JC laughed. The plane stopped in front of the gate and everyone prepared to get off. Justin and JC automatically placed on their hats and sunglasses and got their carry-on luggage. JC started to walk out but saw that Justin was falling behind as the crowd moved toward the exit. He quickly leaned back and grabbed Justin's arm to pull him on. Justin felt a surge of electricity run through his fingers to all over his body. Something about the way JC caressed his hand as he made sure Justin was okay. As soon as they were out of the plane and in the gate, Justin turned to JC.
"Hey Josh. Will you come with me to the bathroom?' Justin asked shyly.
"You still a little afraid about going alone? Justin it's not going to happen to you again. He's locked away and will never hurt you again. I promise." JC assured.
"I know but…" Justin trailed off as he looked at JC with endearing blue eyes.
"Okay fine. But only because you're my best friend." JC said as he followed Justin. He turned around and signaled to Lance to where they were going. "Do you want me to wait outside?" JC asked. Justin nodded and went into the bathroom. JC propped himself against the wall and waited for Justin. He watched as men and women passed him to use the restrooms. He looked at everyone person one by one. JC looked toward the ground and noticed his shoes were untied. He bent down to tie them for a minute before standing back up. He looked at his watched and waited longer and longer for Justin. Ten minutes passed by. He decided to go in.
"Justin?" JC called into the room. He looked toward the stalls and found each one empty. He saw a few men doing their business at the urinals but Justin was no where to be seen. JC grew worried as he dodged between another set of stalls. Each one empty. He rushed over to the sinks which were once again empty of people. JC rushed out of the restroom to the bustling airport. He was short of breath as he frantically looked into the crowd for any sight of Justin. He looked over to where Lance, Joey and Chris stood with management and other people and still no Justin. He looked across the way at the gift shop and there standing in against a pillar was Justin smiling at him.
"How dare you! I was worried sick about you!: JC scolded as he walked over to Justin.
"Sorry but you were tying your shoes and it seemed like it was a good joke." Justin replied with a small grin.
"You scared me half to death. I was ready to call for help, drawing all sorts of attention to us. Man I would kill myself if anything happened to you." JC said with relief as he looked at the floor. The comment made Justin smile as he pushed JC slightly.
"Come on. I know Chris is going to have a fit." Justin said as he dragged JC back to the group.
To Be Continued.
****Hope you guys all liked it. It took me a little while to write cause I had like no time. But I did it. I had a blast reading all of your e-mails. I'm going to reply to all of them. I just need some time. I'll get there. Thanks for bearing with me. Oh and Justin's family tree thing. I know it seems kind of confusing to understand Justin's family tree. See he is the son of Lynn and Randall. He has a sister named Laura- Katherine from the same parents. Okay?? Cool. I'm not quite sure if Jonathan is his half brother or full brother. But I do know it his brother. Justin also has a half brother from his dad, Randall, and his step-mom, Lisa. Lynn also remarried to a guy name Paul Harliss. So that's the nitty gritty. Hope it's not too confusing. I bet most of you already knew that. I'm a fan you can tell. Welp I gotta go and submit this so I'm stopping. Okie bye.
