Part 3

"See something you like?" asked Kevin as he walked up to Josh after convocation.

Josh chuckled. "Am I that transparent?" Kevin nodded, and Josh playfully hit him in the shoulder. "Well, if you must know, it seems that my brother's new roommate might be exactly the type of playmate I need."

"Ty's got a new roommate? So, who is this stranger?" Kevin asked, scanning the crowd.

"He's standing next to the unity candle. The curly haired blonde." Kevin looked around and finally saw him. He took in the lean muscular frame, the pouty mouth, the big blue eyes, the big hands and tight ass and gave a low whistle. "You like, huh?" Josh asked. Kevin nodded.

"How in the hell have I not seen him yet? I know I would've noticed a piece of ass that fine. Josh, if you get to nail that one, please know that I'm going to be so jealous. He's hotter than Carter." Kevin said, his voice appreciative.

"And we all know how long you've been trying to get in that one's pants." laughed Josh.

"And I would've already if it hadn't been for Bass. Speaking of that, I see him and Carter with your boy. And I'm sure that Bass has already prepped him on the evil that is us."

Josh shook his head, chuckling. "Kevin, do you doubt the Chasez charm? Let Lance hate all he wants. I welcome the challenge. But I promise you, I'm going to have that kid in my bed." Josh took one more look at the blonde and smiled.

After classes, the others decided to go to the Student Union and watch a movie, but Justin had some homework to do, and opted to stay in the room instead. After being called a nerd by Chris and a punk by Nick, Justin was finally let go. He was halfway through his geometry homework when there was a knock on the door.

If Justin thought that he wasn't prepared to see Josh twenty feet away sitting at an organ in convocation, then he really wasn't prepared for the reality of him at his door.

"Hi." Josh said, his sexy grin sliding into place as he slid past Justin into the room.

"Um, hi." croaked Justin. He was surprised that he could actually speak. Josh sat down on his bed and Justin felt his mouth go dry at the sight.

"I was looking for Tyler, but I see that he's not here." Josh said, not taking his eyes off of Justin. "So, you're his new roommate, huh? I'm Josh, his brother."

Justin took the hand that Josh had offered him. "Justin Timberlake" he said, cursing his voice for sounding so breathy.

"Justin, huh? I'll remember that." Josh said wickedly, his thumb caressing the back of Justin's hand. Justin felt his knees buckle. Josh pulled him towards the bed. "Come here," he murmured. "As long as I'm waiting for Ty, I might as well get to know his roommate better."

Justin sank down next to Josh on the bed. As he sat, Josh's hand went from his own to his curls, and Justin had to remember to breathe.

"I like your hair. Ever since I ran into you in the hall that day, I've wanted to touch it. To see if it felt as soft as it looked." Josh murmured, his breath ghosting Justin's ear.

Justin ducked his head to hide his blush and the arousal in his eyes. "I've never liked it." he confessed. "It's such a bother to do in the mornings. When I was Memphis, I could just tie a bandanna around it, but I can't here, so I have to wrestle with it every morning."

"Well, if wrestling with it insures that you look like this all the time, then it's worth it." Josh affirmed. He played with a curl absentmindedly. "So, Memphis, huh? I've never been there. Ty and I spent most of our childhood in Maryland, and then when I was about 14, we moved to Florida. But seeing that we've spend nine months out of the year here, I guess we see Massachusetts as home instead of Florida." He chuckled and added, "When we go back, I never cease to get lost trying to find the grocery store. Every time."

Justin laughed, and at that exact moment the door opened and Tyler and Nick walked in. Justin tried to move away from Josh, but he put a hand on Justin's stomach to keep him from moving, the other one still playing with the curls. "Hey Ty, I was waiting for you. Nicky! Long time no see, man."

Nick fell into a chair and smiled at Josh. "I know, man. I see your boy Richardson hasn't been sniffing after me this year."

Josh laughed, "Oh, no, don't think that you're getting off scot free. He's just changing his approach. You're the only person to have spurned his advances, Carter. It doesn't make him give up, it just makes him more determined."

Nick nodded. "Well, tell him to bring it on. I enjoy testing my willpower."

Tyler noticed the hand on Justin's stomach and the one in his hair, as well as Justin's shallow breathing. "As much as I love you, bro, you probably need to go. Lance is on his way over, and I don't want you provoking him."

Josh rolled his eyes, but he got to his feet. "Alright, I know when I'm not wanted. Brunch on Sunday, Ty, don't forget. Bring Justin with you. I'd like to get to know him better." He smiled at Justin, and bent down to rub his leg before he left. "Bye, Nick. Bye, Justin."

After he left, Nick turned to Justin. "Well, I guess we know who Josh has in mind for this year's seduction. Watch out, Timberlake. Few have been able to resist the pull of Joshua Chasez. If you don't be careful, you'll find yourself on your knees and your mouth full, if you know what I mean."

Justin rolled his eyes. "Oh, no, I mean how could I understand such a vague description?"

Tyler shuddered. "Eww. Mental picture of Timberlake sucking my brother's dick. I really could've lived without that one."

Nick thought about it and then smiled. "Actually, man, I think that it's pretty hot, if you ask me."

Justin rolled his eyes. "You would. Well, Nick you seemed pretty friendly to someone that you're supposed to hate. And what's this about you and Richardson?"

Nick shrugged. "I never said I hated Josh. I'm wary of him, yes, but he's always been cool to me. Chris actually hangs with his friend Joey sometimes. Only Lance hates him. And Lance is our friend. So, we stay away because of that. It's very easy to get along with him when he's not bending you over the organ. As for Richardson, hell, I'm young and blonde and cute. He's a sexual predator. Why wouldn't he want me?" Just then Lance came in and the subject was quickly changed.

Josh walked into his room to see his friend Joey on his bed playing his PlayStation2. "You know," Josh began, taking off his uniform jacket, "I could've sworn that I lived in here alone."

Joey rolled his eyes and went back to the game. "I heard from Littrell that you've got your eye on a sexy young thing. I thought you were done with that?"

"Don't start," warned Josh. He sighed and plopped into a chair. "You should see this guy, Joe. He's gorgeous. I saw him and I had to have him. Plus, he's Tyler's roommate. It's falling in my lap. Who am I to say no?"

Joey paused the game and turned to his friend. "It's not worth it. Especially after that Bass kid started badmouthing you to his friends last year."

Josh laughed. "It's always worth it, Joe. Especially when you see this kid. He's perfect."

Joey turned back to the game. "You know, Josh," he started, "One of these days, your actions are gonna come back on you. You take these young boys and make them think that they're in love with you, and then make them do things that would traumatize even me. But one day, you're gonna fall in love, and someone's gonna have that type of power over you."

"Love? Not me, Joey. I'm in control at all times." Josh swore.

Joey shook his head like a parent at a misbehaving child. His voice was soft when he replied, "It's gonna happen. Trust me. And when it does, in control is the last thing you're gonna be."
