The next
day JC woke up slowly. He could hear his bandmates were already up and about.
They were still traveling to the next city, so JC could stay in his bunk for a
little bit longer, but he could hear Lance and Justin talking in the front of
the bus, and he wanted to watch them. He made his way out of his bunk stopping
in the middle of the aisle trying to figure out which way to go. When he heard
Lance's deep voice murmuring from the kitchen, he made his way in that
direction.
He
stopped in the doorway silently watching his two bandmates as Justin ate his
cereal, and Lance sat next to him working on his laptop. When he looked up with
a smile, JC moved away from the doorway and over to the refrigerator. He
grabbed a bottle of water, and moved to sit across from his two friends.
"Morning, guys."
Justin
waved his hand, as he continued to eat his cereal. Lance looked up at JC with a
smile. "Morning, Jayce. Sleep well?"
"Yeah.
How about you two?"
"I
slept fine." Lance looked down at his laptop with a confused look on his
face.
JC
drained the rest of his water, and stood up stretching his arms over his head.
He grinned when he noticed Lance eying the patch of skin that was revealed when
his shirt lifted. "I'm going to see what Joey and Chris are up to. See ya
two later."
JC found
his two other bandmates in the back lounge playing Playstation. He saw them
sitting on the couch where he knew just hours before Lance and Justin had laid
together naked. He wondered if either Joey or Chris had any idea about the
other two. Was he the only one that had been clueless to the affair occuring
between the two youngest members of the group?
He sat
down next to Chris, and watched the game being played for a few silent moments
before Chris paused the game and looked at him. "What's on your mind,
C?"
"Nothing,
Chris," JC said with a sigh.
"Bull,
Jayce." Chris threw the game controller to the floor. "Spill
it."
JC
looked back to the front of the bus making sure Lance and Justin were still out
of earshot. When he saw they were, he moved closer to Chris. "It's about
Lance and Justin. How long have they ...," he whispered.
"Man,
the babies have been together since Europe in one shape or another, but they
didn't get serious until the court stuff. You didn't know?"
JC shook
his head, as he raised his hand to his mouth biting at a nail softly. "Not
until recently."
Chris
looked over at Joey with a smirk on his face. "I wonder how dense here
finally figured it out."
Joey
chuckled. "Probably the same way I did."
JC
looked over at Joey. "How was that, Joe?"
Joey
laughed again. "I caught them fucking."
JC
looked down at the floor. He could feel the blush creep up his cheeks, and knew
his two friends were holding in there laughter.
"So
when did you catch them, Jayce?"
JC
sighed. He so didn't want to talk about this with his two friends. He stood up,
and walked towards the bunks. "I'm not talking about it." JC returned
to his bunk laying on it face down. He punched the pillow under his head, and
sighed. He had never known the two babies as Chris had put it were together. He
never thought they were gay. Justin had Britney, but Justin also had Lance. He
wanted Lance. Always had, too, but he let those feelings bury themselves deep.
He never thought he had a shot with the Mississippi bass singer.Now that he
knew he had, he was going to go for it. He would make Lance his.
