Grateful they were doing a promotion week, JC woke up late. He didn't know what time it was but the room was quiet if it wasn't for the faint sound of Lance typing on his computer. The young man was staring at the screen in concentration. JC sat on the bed and observed him. He had to admit Lance was beautiful when he thought no one was watching. His features would relax and he would simply be himself. Someone they didn't see very often.

The phone rang and JC jumped in surprise, interrupting his observation. Lance didn't even blink, still keeping his attention on his computer. JC picked the phone and was greeted by Justin's cheerful voice.

" What are you doing?"
JC yawned and closed his eyes for a second. " I just woke up. It's been a long night." Insisting on the long part. Justin laughed nervously and cleared his throat.
" Hum…me, Chris and Joey are going to a club tonight and we wanted to know if you guys would come too."
" Let me ask Lance." JC said as he turned to Lance. He purposely-talked louder knowing Justin was listening.
" Baby, you want to go out tonight?"
Lance raised and eyebrow and let his eyes leave the screen to settle on JC. " Yeah sure."
JC went back to the phone and heard Justin whispering ' He called him baby.'
" Justin? We'll go. I'll see you later." He then hung up the phone.
" Baby?" Lance asked, still surprised. JC shrugged and smiled shyly.
" It just seemed to fit."

" I really think they are together." Justin stated as he sat on the table with Chris and Joey.
" Does it bother you?" Joey asked, suddenly fearing they wouldn't be okay with it.
" No. I guess not. I just wish they'd tell us."
" Chris?" Joey asked his older friend.
" As long as I don't have to hear them have sex again, I'm fine." Chris said honestly, frowning at the images playing in his mind.
" But what about Bobbie? I thought they were together." Justin said thoughtfully.
" Nah. I talked with Bobbie. She told me how JC has never been interested in her. After a long talk, we came to the conclusion that maybe he's never been interested in girls at all. It just took him a while to understand I guess." Joey said.
" Okay." Justin said, letting out a long breath. He still couldn't imagine Lance and JC together.

Chris shrugged as if he didn't care and went to the TV, taking a controller and starting a game. By the time Lance and JC walked in the room, Chris was the one playing for his turn to play. The older man observed his two friends and immediately images of them being freaky together came into his mind. He shook his head and started mumbling.

" What's wrong Chris?" Lance asked, concerned by his friend's strange behaviour.
" Bad, bad, bad…think about something else…bad…" he kept mumbling until he gave up and stood up. " Damn you!" He said exasperatedly to Lance and JC before storming out of the room.

JC and Lance looked at each other, confusion written all over their face. They shrugged it off and started talking quietly while Justin and Joey were still playing their video game. When Chris walked back in the room, one hour later, he was holding a bag. He threw it on the bed and sat.

" What did you get?" Justin asked, bouncing happily on the bed, ignoring the game and reaching for the bad. Three sets of eyes watched him while Chris was simply ignoring them.
" Oh my god my virgin eyes!" Justin cried as he tossed a copy of Hustler on the floor. Joey snorted and Lance and JC rolled their eyes. Chris glared at him and picked it up.
" Don't bullshit me Curly. Let me quote your girlfriend. You're not that innocent so cut the crap." He said as Justin put on his best pout. He started looking through the magazine. " And when you'll hear what I hear yesterday, you'll need that. Trust me."

Lance, smiling, took a sip in his water bottle as JC leaned close to him and whispered seductively. " And they think I thrust into you." Lance choked and started coughing desperately.
" Are you okay Lance?" Chris asked, forgetting his magazine and standing up to help him. JC was only standing there, giggling.
" I'm fine." Lance replied weakly, his voice higher than usual.

When Lance started breathing normally again, he threw a dirty look at JC. The brunette smiled innocently and left the room. It wasn't long before Lance followed him.

They made their way into the club, grooving to the music. Everyone went their separate way. Chris headed for the bar, Justin quickly found the dance floor and Joey was already flirting with a girl. Lance and JC stayed on the side of the dance floor. They scanned the crowd and realised there was no risk for them to be recognised. They relaxed and enjoyed the time. But JC got bored and grabbed Lance's hand, dragging him on the dance floor.

" What are you doing?" Lance yelled over the music, not in the mood to dance.
" I want to dance." JC stated simply. They reached the middle of the dance floor and Lance had no other choices. He danced.

Lost in the music and the mood, Lance ended dancing with his back against JC. The older man didn't seem to mind so Lance kept it up. He started moving with the music and JC's body started to warm up. Lance was moving seductively, sending chills through JC's body. He didn't know the young blond could dance like that. JC let his hand slid on the other's waist, trailing there softly. Lance's head leaned against JC's shoulder and he closed his eyes, welcoming the closeness. He felt JC's hot breath on his neck and couldn't bring himself to move away. Hands reached his stomach, pulling him closer to the adorable brunette. The blond put his hands over the ones covering his stomach and grinned against the other man. JC moaned and pulled away. He grabbed Lance's hand tightly and led him to the bathroom, leaving the dance floor.

Once in the quiet bathroom, JC pushed his friend into one of the stall and kissed him. He attacked the young lips with passion, his hands travelling all over Lance's body. Lance eagerly returned the kiss, letting his own hands explore. But JC broke away and stared at Lance, his eyes blank. Lance looked at him, confused. Everything was going fine until then. Realisation hit JC and he slowly took a step backward. Lance try to reach for him but JC avoided the touch. He looked around nervously and darted out of the bathroom.

" Okay, what the heck just happened?" Lance asked to the empty bathroom. He didn't get an answer. He slowly walked out, thinking about the last few days. He kept repeating himself that it wasn't his fault. He did nothing wrong. He convinced himself until it was a fact and joined Joey at the bar. He looked around the club and saw JC talking nervously with Justin. He knew the next day would be hell. He could feel it.
