Working for the Boys 16
"Hello, and welcome to TRL," Carson Daly smiled as his voice crossed the airwaves.
I was in the back with the boys and Ryan. We all sat on one side as Howie and Ryan cuddled on the other. None of us could look at Ryan without remembering the pain he caused for everyone six months ago. Brian sat next to me, huddled together, while AJ and Kevin also sat together. Everyone was happy. One of the MTV staff called the boys to come and they left, leaving Ryan and I in the room by ourselves. It was dead silence.
"Jamie," Ryan finally spoke, "you have to talk to me sometime," he smiled.
"Actually, that is one thing I can look forward to never doing," I snapped back.
"James, are you still upset that I can make Howard happy more than you can?"
"You know, Ryan. Howie is wrong about you. You haven't changed. You CAN'T change. I mean in order for you to change, we'd have to acknowledge you as a human, instead of a deadbeat swine."
"Well, apparently somebody has been practicing there spelling words. Sorry. I don't want to cause unwanted tension between everyone. I want to be part of the group. An open exception just like you."
"I am different. I did not sleep with Nick while he was seeing someone."
"I was drugged by Theresa, or Alison rather. It's not my fault."
"Excuse me if I don't believe that you are innocent and pure. I don't care what anyone says. Nick was mad at you and so was Tyler. I may not know what was going on, but I promise I'll find out."
"You'll find nothing but what Alison had me do."
I stood up and left. I had to get away from Ryan. I stood in the hallway and looked at the TV.
"So, the dying question we all want to know," Carson smiled, "what happened when you disappeared, Kevin?"
"Well it's fairly simple," Kevin started, "I was thrown out of the car and was lost for a bit. I finally was found and the person helped me to safety."
I smiled as Kevin splurged the lie I had concocted. Everyone looked happy and chipper as they can be. Then Carson asked the dreaded question.
"So, where is Nick right now?"
"He wasn't feeling good, so he's sleeping at the hotel," AJ covered.
"Or watching TRL," Brian smiled.
`Yes,' I thought.
Their interview ended and went every well. Some girls expressed their happiness that Kevin was alive by giving him a bouquet. Kevin blushed a little. I was so glad to see everything going good, despite Howie's new love interest. Brian came up from behind me.
"Hey, babe. What's going on in the pretty little head of yours," Brian smiled.
"Bri, do you trust Ryan," I questioned.
"Well, not really. But what can we do? That's who Howie chose and well, if he's happy."
I nodded as we left. Well everyone, but Howie, who was awaiting the end of Ryan's interview. We all jumped in the limousine and headed towards the hotel, a different one than last.
"So what's going on while we are in New York," Kevin asked.
"Well, we are not staying here long. Tonight, MTV's throwing a Backstreet's Back Gala in honor of Kevin's return. Brian and I will make sure Nick gets there because this is a mandatory event. We will leave tomorrow afternoon and head to Boston."
"What's in Boston," AJ questioned.
"Well, the schedule doesn't say, but that is mandatory as well, so."
The limo stopped I excused myself as I went to the store for a bit.
"SO is everything planned," Brian smiled.
"Yes, cuz. Jamie will be so shocked. I have his family coming up."
"He won't suspect a thing, Brian. Promise," AJ smiled.
I walked back in the limo. And soon we drove back to the hotel.
Howie waited in the lounge as Ryan came back in. He smiled as he went to kiss Howie, but Howie stopped him.
"Not here." Howie smiled.
"Sorry. Well I tried to talk to Jamie."
"How did that go?"
"Not good," Ryan sighed, "Jamie believes that I had something to do with the whole Alison Smithison situation."
"Well, honey. Hate to break it to you, but you do. I mean you were the one who drugged Nick."
"Well, sugarplum. You did almost kill Kevin. We are both in this together so we both need to help each other out."
"And how do I help you?"
"I don't know, but Jamie, or anyone else cannot find out what I did to Nick."
"Or what?"
"Howard, let's just say if I go down, I'm not going alone."
Ryan stood up and walked out the door.
{Flashback
"What game are you playing," Tyler asked
Nick looked at Tyler and smiled.
"Marvel Comics vs. Street Fighters. You'd probably know if you weren't staring at me," Nick smiled.
"Sorry," Tyler apologized.
Nick handed Tyler the other controller.
"Come on, see if you can beat me up," Nick said with glee.
Nick one the first round, then Tyler won the Second round and the game.
"Damn," Nick said in shock. "How did you learn how to play that good?"
"The video games use to be my life." Tyler answered with a smile.
"Why not now?"
"I decided that there are other things important," Tyler said as he laid back and closed his eyes.
Nick got up the courage and then kissed Tyler on the lips. At first, he was shocked, then he started to get into it. Their tender kiss turned into wild hot passion. Their tongues darted at each other as Nick straddled on top of Tyler. Soon, they finally came up for air.
"I've been waiting for you to do that for two years,' Tyler said while grasping for breathe.
"Well, wait no longer." Flashback ends}
Nick woke up in a cold sweat. He looked out the window and sighed. He was forever dreaming about Tyler. Nick knew in his heart that Tyler was the one. He was the love that Nick knew could never replace. The phone rang. Nick, sighed a little before answering it.
"Hello," he asked.
"Hi, Nick. This is Carson. Carson Daly from MTV."
"I know who you are. How are you?"
"I should be asking you. I heard you were sick so I thought, out of good gesture, I'd call and see how you were doing."
"Well, I am feeling a little better. You will see me tonight, you know."
"Yeah, the "Welcome-Back-From-the-Dead" Gala for Kevin. What a story."
"You don't know the half of it," Nick smirked.
"Really. Well inquiring fans would love to know."
"And inquiring fans will never know. It's very personal. Neither fans or nosy reporters, even for MTV, will never know."
"You are assuming I am a nosy MTV reporter."
"Well, if you're not a reporter, Carson. What, pray tell, are you," Nick asked in his phony British accent.
"A fan," Carson smiled.
"Cute. Well, I need some more sleep before tonight. Will I see you there," Nick asked genuinely.
"Of course. Can't ya just die seeing me in a monkey suit," Carson laughed.
"It's a cocktail event?"
"No, dressy casual. Your management insisted. Was trying to make a joke. Well, seeya there. Bye Nick."
"Bye Carson," Nick said as he hung up the phone. "That was odd," he sighed as he tried to fall back asleep.
As we all walk into the suit room, Brian drags me to his room and shuts the door.
"Brian, what is going on," I asked.
"Nothing. Just happy to see you. Listen, Jamie. What are we going to do about Nick?
"Nothing yet. He's still having trouble sleeping. Keep having dreams and sometimes nightmares about Tyler. I'd say we give him a couple of hours. We have until 7 before we get ready."
I started to get up, but then Brian pushed me back on his bed and straddled me legs. He did one of his, now famous, kisses, before coming up for air.
"Jamie, how is man-to-man sex," Brian asked.
"Why do you want to know. Care to try it soon?"
"No, I mean eventually. I am just scared. I never had sex with a man before. What if I don't like it? What if I want to be straight."
"Honey, I assure you. When the time comes you will be ready and you will know what's going on. Promise."
Brian gave me a light peck on the lips and hopped up.
"Well, I am laying down now. Care to join me," He inquired.
I smiled as he pulled me up off the bed and led me to the head of the bed.
"All I ask is that I get the left," he smiled.
"Stickler," I added as we stripped to our boxers and lay in the bed.
Kevin and AJ sat on the bed holding each other. Kevin looked at AJ and kissed his forehead.
"I am so glad I have you, Alex. You mean the world to me, you know," Kevin smiled.
"Right back atcha, babe."
"If I tell you something, do you promise not to blow it out of context or do something irrational?"
"Kevy, would I ever do something like that?"
"You know you would, now promise," Kevin said sternly.
AJ knew this was serious, so he promised.
"Good," Kevin sighed, "Now this is from Brian and Jamie, mind you. Before Howie and Nick were kidnapped, they told me something that has been a little scary and has kept me thinking about Howie and your friendship. You see, Brian found a letter in Howie's room at the hotel. He thought nothing of it until the accident."
"I am not understanding, Kevin," AJ said as he released himself from Kevin's arms.
"Listen to me. At lunch in the restaurant, Brian confronted Howie with the letter. The letter turned out to be a page from Howie's diary. It basically contained Howie saying that, well he was using Jamie, he wished me dead and how much he loved you. Did you know that?"
AJ went into a flashback.
{Flashback
Howie started to run, but AJ grabbed his arm. He threw Howie on the bed. AJ ripped off his clothes while Howie had fear in his eyes. Howie started crying as AJ put the head of his dick on Howie's hole.
"Do you want this," AJ asked.
Howie didn't answer.
"I said, do you want this dick, you fucking fag!"
"YES," Howie blurted.
Flashback ends}
"AJ," Kevin whispered.
AJ snapped back to reality.
"What did you say," AJ questioned.
"Did you know about Howie saying thoughs things?"
"No," AJ sighed, "I can honestly say I didn't."
"Good," Kevin smiled, "that's all I wanted to hear."
Kevin kissed AJ on the lips. AJ hesitated, but then gave in to the soft feel of Kevin's lips. The kissed passionately as Kevin stripped the both of them. Their hard cocks were sword-fighting as they made out. Kevin laid AJ on the bed and lay between his legs. Kevin placed his pulsating cock on the tip of AJ's tight ass. Then AJ went into another flashback.
{Flashback
YES," Howie blurted.
That's all he had to say as AJ reamed Howie's ass. With no lube, Howie yelled in a pain worst than any other. He was crying and screaming, yet he was moaning between screams. AJ fucked Howie faster and faster until AJ was at the breaking point.
Flashback ends}
"Kevin, wait," AJ gasp. "Please, baby. Use a condom."
Kevin pushed away in anger and got dressed.
"What's wrong, Kevin," AJ asked.
"I can't believe you. Ever since I came back, you have been asking me to put on a condom. Do you even remember the night we made love without one! You were so hell-bent into not putting one on and now were being safe," Kevin yelled. "I know what's going on, Alexander. You don't have to play games with me!"
AJ looked at Kevin with fear behind him.
"You think I've cheated on you, don't you?"
AJ sighed quietly as he thought of what to say.
"Alex," Kevin calmed down as he kneeled in front of AJ. He held his face as he continued. "I would never cheat on you. Our love is so strong that temptation would never hurt us. I now that you didn't cheat on me. You couldn't have you were grieving. Nevertheless, I didn't cheat on you either. I promise."
Kevin kissed AJ on the lips.
"Listen, I am going to go for a walk to let you think. I'll be back before the party," Kevin smiled.
AJ watched Kevin get his coat and leave. The stood up stark naked and walked to the full-length mirror. He looked at himself for a bit, then at his face. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he looked different. AJ started at himself as he recapped what just went on.
Wait,' he said to himself, if everyone read about how he wanted me, then there must be pages on what happened between us.'
AJ threw on some close and snuck to Howie's room and looked around. He opened drawers and everything before he found Howie's journal in his suitcase.
"Now Howie. Let's see what you have in here so you will never be able to blackmail me," AJ whispered to himself.
He snuck back to his room and opened the journal.
