Chapter 14 After the two of them confessed their feelings for each other, things came to a stand still. Neither one of them really talked about what had been said. Lance knew Justin was still bothered by the whole being gay thing, so when he decided to go home for the weekend he said nothing. He knew Justin would be back on Sunday and then they could see where they went from there.  He wanted Justin to make the first move. Lance just hoped he did something soon. When Justin returned home on Sunday, Lance wasn't in their room. He dropped his duffle bag and backpack on the bed. He was glad he had gone home for the weekend. He had seen his mom and his little brothers. Talked things out with Josh, and even had seen Britney. They had talked and they had decided to be friends again.  When he told her he was gay, she had looked at him with a knowing expression and then said DUH. They laughed, and things were better. As he began to put away his things, he wondered where Lance was. He had missed him while he was away, and had hoped to see him when he got back first thing. As he was finishing putting his clothes away, he heard a key in the lock. Justin put the down the shirt he was holding and looked towards the door just as Lance walked in. When Lance looked up and saw Justin standing there, he smiled happily. "You're back early. I thought I wouldn't see you until later on tonight." Justin shrugged. "Yeah, well, I wanted to come back here. Saw everyone I needed to see. Talked to Josh. Talked to Brit. Played around with my little brothers, so I'm back." Lance walked over and sat on Justin's bed leaning against the wall. "So things okay now with you and Britney?" Justin laughed. "Yeah, we're cool now. I told her I was gay, and you know what she said." Shocked momentarily that Justin had told someone other than Josh, Lance asked, "what?" 'Wait, need to do the face." Justin turned around and quickly turned back around. "DUH!" Lance began to crack up because even though he didn't know Britney, he knew Justin had done a good job of impersonating her. Lance stopped laughing when Justin's expression turn serious. "What, J?" Justin shrugged sitting down on the bed next to Lance. "I guess I am just glad to be home. It was weird being back to my old house. Seeing all my friends was great, but my mom is always weird, and I guess I just missed being here and hanging out with you." Lance froze for a second when he felt Justin lay his head on his shoulder. "I missed you too Justin. It wasn't the same around here without you. Even Joey missed you on Friday for their party." Justin raised his head and looked up at Lance. Lance looked down, and wanted so bad to kiss Justin right then, but he had promised himself he would let Justin make the first move. Lance looked at Justin's pouting red lips and wanted to move closer, but didn't move. Justin sat and watched Lance. He wondered why Lance didn't just kiss him already. He could see that he wanted to, but something stopped him. 'Heck with this,' he thought. Leaning closer, Justin touched his lips to Lance's. Leaning back, he smiled. Lance opened his eyes and returned the smile. "I'd been waiting for you to do that." "Yeah. Why?" Justin leaned his forehead against Lance's waiting for him to speak. Lance sighed. "I know this isn't easy for you. I wanted you to be sure. I wanted you to make the first move." Lance took a shaky breath. "So I guess that was it then." Justin nodded. "Yep. Guess so." Both of them were silent for a few moments before Lance began to open his mouth to speak again, but stopped himself. Instead he leaned closer and kissed Justin. The kiss was soft at first, but when he felt Justin's lips part slightly beneath his. Lance takes that as an invitation to slowly let his tongue enter Justin's mouth. His hands traveled over Justin's face until his fingers found their way into his soft curls. Lance heard Justin moan, and broke the kiss.  After taking a few gasping breaths, Lance spoke, "So was that like kissing your brother?" Justin opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words, so he simply shook his head. Lance smiled. "Good." changes 13 menu changes 15
