Josh and Just 5
"I told you they'd get together. Now you owe me twenty bucks." Chris whispered as they stood at the bottom of the stairs. Their eyes gazed toward Justin and JC who slept peacefully on the sofa bed. Lance gazed at them with a smile on his face.
"They are cute. In their own little way aren't they?" Lance finally stated.
"Yeah I guess so. Now give me my money!" Chris exclaimed.
"Shut up you doof! You're gonna wake them. Let them sleep in peace." Lance said taking Chris into the kitchen. Chris fell into one of the stools lined up at the kitchen counter while Lance started to make a cup of coffee.
"You know I'm glad they finally found someone. But I'm kind of worried. What if something happens between them? What will happen to the group?" Lance inquired.
"Well Justin and JC are too close of friends to ever let something like a break up come between their friendship. If their relationship doesn't work out their friendship doesn't have to end." Chris replied.
"Yeah I guess so. I think they are perfect for each other don't yo.." Lance stopped when he heard Laura coming down the stairs.
"Hey Lance! Wha.?" She stopped mid sentence with only silence following. Lance and Chris quickly ran out of the kitchen and back to the living room. Chris stopped as soon as he saw Laura standing at the bottom of the stairs watching her brother with another guy. She looked over to Lance and Chris before looking back to Justin and JC.
"Laura. Umm.I don't think he wanted you to find out this way." Lance said walking up behind her.
"Is this.? Has this been..? How long?" Laura asked, still a little shock.
"I'm guessing last night." Chris stated. Laura looked toward Lance again and stared straight into his eyes.
"What does this mean?" Laura asked.
"Well I don't know. How do you feel?" Lance asked.
"Well I feel kind of hurt because Justin didn't tell me sooner. Is this because he was raped?" Laura asked.
"No not at all. He didn't know for a little while. He probably just found out and has only told us so far. Don't take it personal. We only found out yesterday." Chris shrugged. Laura smiled through her tearing.
"Is he and JC the only one's that are.g.well you know." Laura tried.
"Yes they are the only one's. So what else is bugging you about them?" Chris asked.
"Well not much. I'm just not used to two guys.well you know.kissing and stuff." Laura stated.
"And you think we are?" Lance asked, kindly.
"Well no. I guess I can deal with it. But I always wanted a sister-in-law to talk to and I always thought that Justin could get me one. But I guess it's useless now." Laura laughed.
"Are you okay with it?" Lance asked as he walked her into the kitchen. He sat her down at the counter and poured her a bowl of cereal.
"Well I think I am. I don't know if I can see my brother dating someone who I once had a crush on. But I guess I can live with it. Wait til my friends here this one." Laura said taking in a spoonful of cereal. Lance and Chris snapped their heads up in shock.
"Just kidding." Laura claimed.
"So you cool?" Lance asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks you guys." Laura responded.
"No problem cutie." Chris said, giving her a small hug. Justin knocked on the door to signify his presence. His sister and two friends turned to face him. Justin smiled to them as he leaned against the threshold. Laura stood and walked over to her big brother. She gave him a big hug. Justin mouthed the words `Thank You' toward his two friends.
"Hey cutie!" JC said coming up behind Justin while he styled his hair.
"Hey! How was your shower?" Justin asked as he turned to run his hands through JC's wet hair.
"It was okay. A little lonely though." JC smiled. Justin poked him in the ribs before turning around continuing to fix his hair.
"Have you talked to Laura yet?" Justin asked.
"Yeah. She seems alright with it. And Chris and Lance think it's cute. And Joey still doesn't know yet." JC laughed.
"Well I think we should go tell him." Justin said, finishing his hair. He turned and looked toward JC for his approval. JC quickly ruffled Justin's hair and walked out of the room. Justin stood, still in shock that after all the time he had spent fixing his hair, JC messed it up in one second.
"Hey comeback here I'm not done with you." Justin said walking out to find JC. He walked into the hall and faced the stairs expecting JC to be walking down. JC was no where in sight. Justin turned back to walk into the room and found JC standing behind him. Justin let out a loud gasp and sighed when he saw JC's face smiling back at his.
"You scared me. You're such and asshole for messing up my hair." Justin said hitting JC in the chest. JC caught a hold on Justin's wrist and pulled him slowly forward. Justin wrapped his arms around JC's neck while he kissed JC softly. Both closed their eyes as they explored every region of each other's mouth. The were lost within the kiss and each other.
"Wow! I'm sorry.I'll just.I'm just going.I'm gonna head.I'm going back downstairs." Joey said as he caught them from the top of the stairs. Justin and JC parted and laughed and they rested their foreheads against each other. They turned to face Joey who was now turning and walking back down the stairs.
"Ready?" JC asked.
"Yeah." Justin whispered back. He started to walk for the stairs and felt JC walk beside him. He started to descend down the stairs when he gently felt JC's hand slip into his. Justin looked toward JC who gave a small smile which resulted in Justin's face to become bright red. The two walked into the living room where everyone was seated watching TV. They all turned their heads toward them including Joey.
"Hi you two." Chris said, turn his head back to the TV.
"You hungry?" Lance asked, picking up the paper from the coffee table.
"they have your cereal Justin." Laura said, turning back toward the TV as well. Joey gave a surprised look to all of them and back toward Justin and JC.
"Does no one else see it?" Joey asked.
"See what?" Justin asked, trying to hold back his laughter.
"They are.together!" Joey said happily.
"Yeah so what's new?" Chris inquired.
"Don't tell me you guys already knew. Why am I the last person to always find out. Did you tell them yesterday?" Joey asked.
"No Joey. They found out this morning." JC laughed.
"Why am I always last? Even Laura found out before me." Joey whined as he plopped back onto the couch.
"Don't worry the next time we have a big secret, we'll make sure to come and tell you first." Justin joked.
"Shut up! I'm still mad." Joey pouted. He looked toward Justin and JC who were now feeling a little bad.
"I'm just joking." Joey smiled.
It was three hours later that the famous five found themselves in Justin's home. Chris played with Jonathan as did Joey while Lance chatted with Laura and Paul. Justin was seated on the couch between his father, Randall, and his step-mother, Lisa. He looked toward JC who was playing with Steven who was walking around excitedly.
"So son. How has life on the tour been?" Randall asked.
"It's been cool. Just a little strenuous." Justin said keeping his eyes on JC playing with Steven.
"So when do you go back on tour?" Lisa asked.
"In a week. We'll be touring with Britney and I think we'll pick up a couple of people on the way." Justin replied. He gazed toward JC who was now giving Steven a piggy back ride. He tried hard to hold back his smile as he watched his little brother have so much fun with his. `What do I call him now? Best friend? Boyfriend? Sweetheart?' Justin thought confused.
"Justin? You there?" Lynn asked stepping in front of her son. Justin popped up in surprise and nodded. He looked toward JC who was smiling at him. Justin gave him a small smile back and then rolled his eyes.
"So anything new? Any love interests?" Randall asked, giving his son a nudge.
"No. Not really. Don't really have time for it." Justin lied, holding back his saddened face. `Why are you lying to them? You shouldn't lie to them. They are your parents for god sakes. Justin just tell them.' Justin chastised. He looked as everyone assembled to the living room to have a chat. JC sat across from Justin with Steven sitting in his lap, fiddling with a puzzle. Lance sat next to JC looking on to what Jonathan was doing while playing with Chris. Joey still continued to talk to Laura. Paul however sat with his wife on the couch.
"Hey you guys. I have something to tell you and it's kind of important." Justin announced. With that said Lance's head popped up to look around at everyone. Chris stopped playing with Jonathan and looked toward Justin and then JC. Joey snapped his head toward Justin who was looking straight into JC's eyes.
"Sure Honey. What is it?" Lynn asked, giving all her attention to her son.
"Well Dad, Mom, Lisa, Paul. It's about.It's about.me.and.J.Jonathan. We really don't spend a lot of time together and I was wondering if.well maybe I could take him on tour with us." Justin lied. He chastised himself once again in his mind.
"Absolutely not. He's too young and if something happened he would be so far from home and. he's too young." Randall stumbled.
"You already said that Randall." JC pointed out.
"I know that Joshua. Thank You." Randall replied with a grin.
"No problem. Just pointing it out." JC joked. JC and Randall exchanged a laugh before turning back to Justin.
"Okay Dad. I understand." Justin concluded. He looked back over to JC and gave him a melancholy look.
"You know son. I think that you and Britney will get back together." Paul said. Paul and Randall shared looks of animosity as they each used the same word to label Justin.
"That's over with. We were just kids back then and it was puppy love." Justin said looking at JC who was trying to hold back his laughter.
"What's so funny JC?" Lisa asked.
"Nothing. Just an inside joke." JC laughed. Justin broke a smile as he looked to the floor to hide it.
"Okay you two have been spending too much time together." Lynn joked.
"More time than you think." JC said under his breathe. Justin snapped his head up and looked around noticing that no one heard it except for him and maybe Lance.
"Well why don't you guys go upstairs and go do something so us adults can get some peace and quiet." Lynn suggested, noticing the bored looks on everyone's face. Justin hopped up and walked over to JC.
"Hey Mom can I go to Jenny's house?" Laura asked.
"Laura, you're brother is home for the week. Don't you think you should spend some time with him?" Lynn asked.
"Oh don't worry about it Mom. I think we're planning on going to Universal tomorrow. So we'll take her with us. And you can invite Jenny too." Justin commented.
"Thanks Just!" Laura said giving him a big hug.
"No problem Cutie. Now get." Justin said. She smiled and grabbed her coat before leaving.
"Okay we are going to head upstairs and probably head out to a movie." Justin said dragging his band mates upstairs.
"Do you know how hard that was?" Justin said falling back onto JC's bed.
"Justin. You know you don't have to worry about what your parent's think. They will love you for who you and what you like. Whether it be this dead beat or someone else." Lance said pointing to JC, jokingly.
"Well I do take after you Lance." JC retorted.
"Shut up." Lance laughed, walking over to Justin and placing an arm around him. JC looked toward Justin who was sulking and staring at the floor. He stood and crouched in front of Justin.
"Listen Just. I'll be here whenever you plan on telling your parents. I'll be here if you don't want to tell them either. It's up to you but don't think that you have to tell them now. I know you don't like lying to your parents and I don't want to either. But if you don't want to tell them, it's okay." JC tried to console. Justin looked up from the floor to look at JC's face. He gave a small smile and kissed JC quickly.
"Thanks Josh." Justin sighed. He looked over to Lance, Chris and Joey who had been watching them. As soon as his eyes faced them the three began to look in every which direction. Justin cracked a smile and stood up.
"Thanks you guys. I guess we should go now." Justin said hitting Chris in the shoulder lightly.
"Okay Curly. I say we go for something scary!" Chris yelled. Justin let out a sigh as JC wrapped an arm around his shoulder. Justin faced toward JC and pecked him lightly on the cheek.
"You know you guys we'll meet you two downstairs. Just come on down when you guys are ready." Joey said walking out with Lance and Chris. Justin gave out a small laugh and watched as his friends leave. He turned back to JC who was smiling at him.
"You know I think I'm in love." JC stated.
"you're not in love. We've only been together for a day. Not even a day. Like ten or twelve hours. Half a day." Justin laughed, picking up his coat.
"But I've known you for years Justin and I've known that you are a lot closer to me than some of my other friends. You are the closest friend I have. Ad so it only has been half a day. I still know I love you. You may not love me yet but I still love you." JC claimed.
"I do love you. Just not as far out as you're making it sound. I still want to take it slow. I love you like a brother, a best friend, co-worker and probably more, but." JC stopped Justin by placing his fingers on Justin's lips.
"I don't care. I just know is that I love you." JC smiled. He let his grip on Justin's lips go giving him the chance to smile.
"You're so nice to me." Justin said, poking JC in the ribs.
Lynn walked down the hall to JC's room, looking for Justin. She searched his room and couldn't find him their. `He has to be in JC's room.' Lynn said to herself as she walked down the hall. She slowly walked to the door which was partially open. She peeked inside and saw her son kissing JC. Lynn stood frozen not knowing what to do or how to act. She stared as she thought over and over about nothing at all.
"Hey Josh. I was wondering if you are going to tell you parents." Justin asked. JC nodded looking into Justin's eyes.
"I do plan on telling them but I don't know when. I'd rather tell them in person than over the telephone. So maybe if we get a break from the tour I'll head over to there or something." JC stated.
"Well I kind of want to tell my parents today. At least my mom. We're too close to let a secret come between us." Justin said, breaking away from JC to grab a hat. He place the hat on and pushed JC a little.
"Well okay. If you want me to be there just tell me. I'll stand by your side. Always and forever." JC stated.
"You are too sweet." Justin smiled. Lynn's heart warmed after hearing all she had heard. `Justin and I do have a special bond and I know that JC is the perfect ma.person for him. they look good together. Oh my! Is this because of the rape? Is that what made him.' Lynn's thoughts were cut short as she saw Justin and JC turn to face the door. She quickly ran further down the hall into her bedroom. She watched as Justin walked down the hall together.
TO BE CONTINUED.
**** There it is, Hope it's good. Oh and if anyone would like to tell me how parents usually react could you please? I'm not familiar with it yet. Only a couple of friends know about me. So I'm not too experienced in that field. It would be much obliged. Thanks!!!
