Chapter 4

The music was set, a nice R Kelly beat that Justin knew would set the mood. He smiled as he stripped out of his shirt. His muscles flexed as he lifted the article above his head, the firm body rippling as he twisted. His chest looked smooth, almost like silk and satin. His sides were flat and curved slightly. The hip bones protruded, the starting points of the infamous "V" that every well built male had. And, well... this was a very built male.

But JC wasn't thinking that. Why the hell would he think that? Its not like Justin was in front of him, giving him a strip tease or anything. They were just going swimming. Nothing remotely sexual about that. Nope.

JC looked at Justin as he wiggled out of his jeans, his eyes landing to rest on the outline of Justin's ass in his boxer briefs.

No, nothing at all... No...

He watched as Justin's hands absently, or not so, ran over his stomach as he turned around. He pinned JC with his eyes and the brunette shifted in his jeans that weren't tight enough.

Shit.

But no, nothing sexual. Casual swim, that's all. That's...

Justin was peeling off his boxers and JC felt his breath escape him all at once, his eyes wide, subconsciously wanting a peek at the front side.

He threw the maroon underwear to the side and then peeked over his shoulder. "Lets go skinny dipping instead."

And Justin was outside once JC regained his equilibrium enough to realize that Justin was naked in his pool.

Justin. Naked... Justin. Naked... Justin. Naked... That was as far as he could get because his senses were on overload already.

He stood up on shaky legs, carrying himself over to the door. He saw Justin already in the pool, a fat smile on his face.

God, JC thought as he walked outside into the breezy night air. He took off his shirt, laying it on a nearby chair.

"Is the water cold?"

Justin turned and JC smiled. Justin was cute wet.

"Nah, not really. You gotta get used to it, though." he said and the dunked back down.

JC shrugged and took a loud breath as he started to take off his jeans. He let the denim fall to his feet when he kicked them off. He stretched a bit and then went to the water's edge, dipping in a toe. He retracted it a millisecond later, cursing.

"Good lord! That's freezing Justin!"

Justin smiled. "Oh come on, Jayce." but JC shook his head rapidly.

"I am not about to freeze my balls off in there."

JC watched as a sly look came across Justin's face and knew he was in for it.

"I could warm you up, baby. All you gotta do is ask..."

JC shook his head but stopped once he saw Justin's pout. "Oh come on, Justin."

"JC, you promised me you'd swim with me-"

"Only if you left me alone after. And now I don't really care because that water is freezing and... Justin, no. You can stay in..." he stated as Justin started towards the curb, propping himself to get out. The young blonde stood with a menacing smile. JC, trying not to look beneath his waist, recognized it immediately. "No, Justin. You hear me? No." but the blonde advanced anyway and JC backed up until his thighs met the table and that's when he started running, a laughing Justin not far behind.

"JC! You promised!" Justin laughed as he hopped over JC's potted plants.

JC looked back with a smile as he ran for the life of him, skipping over the diving board and running around the hot tub. "Justin..." he giggled and saw Cujo by the sliding door. "I'm gonna get Cujo to bite you in the ass if you don't stop." he shouted, still grinning.

He made it to the door and put his hand on the handle, raising his eyebrow in question. "Make me." he warned and Justin stopped a few feet in front of him.

The young man put his hands on his hips. "Go 蘇ead."

JC narrowed his eyes at the missing fear in Justin's eyes. Cujo was big, could tear the boy to pieces... why wasn't he scared?

But before anything Justin charged for him, picking the older man up, flinging him over his shoulder.

"Justin!!" JC screamed as the younger man laughed taking the few steps toward the pool. He smacked Justin's ass hard and the young man jumped slightly.

"Ooh, JC. Do it again!" he teased as he walked.

"Justin! If you throw me I wi-" JC fell into the cold water with a large splash, his flailing arms and legs smacking against the water's surface. Justin sat on the side laughing, grabbing at his sides.

JC came up with a large gasp as he sucked in air. He looked at Justin with dark eyes. Water dripped down his face and into his eyes. He brought a hand up to his eyes as he used the other to tread water.

"I-I'm going t-t-to fuck-fucking kill you!" he shouted as he slowly made his way over to the side. Justin just smiled and winked before diving in behind him. JC wasn't far when the blonde came up for air. He pounced the instant those blonde curls came into view.

Justin lashed out, landing a small blow to JC's stomach but the older man didn't relent. Then Justin went for the armpits, JC's lethally ticklish spot and the brunette squirmed away with a laugh.

Justin resurfaced and stuck his tongue out at JC while getting air into his lungs. They both floated towards the shallow end.

"You could have killed me." Justin complained as he shook his curls. JC put his hands in front of him to shield him from the watery attack.

"You're alright."

Justin smiled. "As are you, Mr. 選'm gonna bitch and moan because the waters too damn cold'."

JC rolled his eyes and shoved a large splash at Justin who turned his head the other way, blindly doing the same.

"Ah! Stop." JC pleaded once Justin gained control and didn't stop. "I'm gonna die!" he shouted and then jumped at Justin, holding his hands by the wrists. Justin smiled and JC felt his face lift also.

"So."

JC nodded, and looked towards the house, Cujo sitting patiently by the door.

Then, suddenly, he felt fingers on him and he gasped as he turned his head quickly to Justin who was smiling at him.

Justin let his hands twist out of JC's hold and onto JC's body instead, wrapping around the brunette's waist.

"N-no." JC warned but he didn't move away. In fact, he was sure he moved closer because he was being pulled closer and before he knew it, his thigh was pressed in between Justin's legs. His hip brushed against Justin and the blonde exhaled loudly.

"Come on." Justin whispered as his hand came out to cup JC's cheek, to bring him even closer.

JC shook his head but let his eyes close as Justin's breath fanned over his face. "God." he breathed.

He could feel them getting closer, the heat from Justin's skin hitting him in waves and he shivered. When he was sure there lips were just centimeters apart, the sliding door opened and a rambunctious dog ran and jumped in the water, toppling the couple.

JC stood up straight, flushed and turned to a guilty looking Jared.

"Um... oops?"

And with one look to Justin's red face, Jared knew he was in for it now.

* * * * *

"So whats going on between you and JC?" Jared spread the mayonnaise on his sandwich smoothly, licking the knife before tossing it into the sink.

Justin glared and washed off the knife before using it on his own sandwich. "Do you have mustard?"

"Second drawer on my left." Seconds later Jared sighed. "My left. Now answer my question."

Justin shrugged and kicked the door shut. "Nothing, thanks to you."

Jared blushed and took a large bite out of his sandwich. "I said I was sorry, jerk."

Justin grinned and then put the mustard back in the fridge. "JC's still being a prude."

"Yeah, well that's only because he's mad at you."

Justin's eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean? He's mad at me? About the kiss thing? I thought he had gotten over that millions of years ago."

Jared nodded and scrunched up his brow. "No, not about that, about the-... hold on, you don't know?" He then shook his head and laughed to himself. "Well duh, he wouldn't have told you. Ok anyway." Jared began munching on his food while Justin sat with bored eyes.

"Hello? Tell me why he's mad!" he finally said as Jared smirked.

"But its not my busin-"

"Oh shut up Jared and tell me. You have the biggest mouth ever, since when do you care about who's business you're spreading around? Especially JC's?"

Jared smiled. "I know I have a big mouth, sir. And I put it to good use."

Justin smirked and Jared winked. "And alright, you talked me into it. He's still bitter you left. Hey, do you want a soda?"

Justin stood his mouth agape. JC was bitter? After all these years? Well, the blonde rationalized, it made sense. I mean he did just up and leave. But the group would have split one way or another. They had said they were all behind him. He thought JC was included... guess he was wrong.

"But, I mean..."

Jared sighed and looked at Justin. "Did you know he had feelings for you for like... ever?"

Now, Justin's jaw rested on the faint blue tiled floor and Jared bit his lip, hoping JC didn't find out that he had let out that piece of information because it seemed the younger man hadn't known after all.

"Are you serious?" Justin had always known JC played for the other team. He just knew it. But he hadn't known JC actually had feelings for him, ones he could actually reciprocate.

Jared bit his lips because he desperately wanted to tell this kid that yes, JC had pined over him for years and still did. But it wasn't his place.

"Well, yeah. But you really have to talk to JC about that, I me-"

"Huh? What about me?" JC asked walking into the room.

Jared laughed because that always seemed to happen. He then looked over to Justin and saw the younger man staring at the wall like it was the prettiest thing in the world a blush on his cheeks. He narrowed his with a smile. What was that about? He had to wonder.

JC strolled over and went through the refrigerator, staying in extra long trying to avoid that Justin was standing right there. Since earlier, the young man was the only thing on JC's mind and, to put it bluntly, that wasn't good.

"So... how is everybody this beautiful day?" Jared asked cheerfully and JC and Justin both groaned at the same time. They looked at each other and Justin blushed before turning away.

"Uh, see yall later. I gotta, um... yeah." He was out the door before Jared could raise his eyebrow.

"What was that about?" JC asked as he watched through his window Justin walking over to his yard.

Jared shrugged. "Don't ask me."

* * * * *

Justin paced his room. Ok, so JC had feelings for him. That's what he wanted, right? Yes that's what he had wanted for a long time coming. But, then why did JC just blow him off all the time?

Justin's eyes brightened and he slapped a hand to his forehead. "Because he's still mad about the break-up. Dammit." He mumbled to himself.

"God." Justin hissed as he tangled a hand in his hair. Now JC was never going to give in to him.

"But..." A slow grin splayed across the younger man's handsome face. A devious plan assembled in his brain and he nodded.

It was simple.

It was easy.

He grinned. He had it in the bag. JC would be his by the end of the month, tops.
