...how the fuck do we solve this?... To say everyone was shocked was an understatement. But
no one was more shocked than Alexander James McLean And
he wasn't shocked that Nick kissed a man. He had known for quite some
time that Nick was gay. Had known since Nick was 17, Nick talked on his sleep. That's how AJ found out. No. Nick kissing a man didn't shook AJ. What was shocking, earth shattering even, was that Nick was kissing HIM. Because AJ knew that Nick knew that AJ was straight. And AJ also knew that Nick's type leaned more to the curly blonde, tall type. And the kiss was literally coming out from nowhere. And Chris Kirkpatrick looked as if he could kill Nick on the spot. Shocked wouldn't describe how AJ felt when he realized that. "Chris
Kirkpatrick is gay and he wants me?!" He thought,
as * * * Justin was shocked. Much more than shocked. Nick Carter was kissing AJ McLean in front of witness. Of cameras. Of fucking MTV! He was being out, and proud and… Kissing AJ McLean. Nick Carter was kissing AJ McLean. Justin growled under his breath, not liking at all the picture in front of him, not liking to see how Nick pressed himself closer to AJ, or how he entwined his fingers through AJ's hair. Trying to look away, he saw Chris' eyes slit and grow darker. That made Justin feel some relief. At least, he wasn't the only one angered by the display. He knew Chris like a brother, so he knew they were angry for different reasons. And that made things a little more confusing. Because Justin knew Chris was gay. Hard not to know while sharing a bus. And even when Chris thought no one knew, Justin knew that the older man had a crush on one Backstreet Boy. He just never expected him to be AJ. * * * As shocked as Justin and AJ were, they weren't as shocked as the fans. No one expected neither Nick nor AJ to be gay, much less a couple. PR teams from both groups dropped dead from shock, and tried to spin-doctor the situation, but 'Nick' had other plans. If someone had listened to Howie or Joey, things would have been better to all involved. * * * "Look, let me talk to Nick. I'm sure it was all a…" "Forget
it, Joey." Jhonny shook his head, visibly upset. "I don't want
to "But…" Joey tried again, this time to be interrupted by 'Chris'. "Jive should lock him up or something." Chris growled. "Until he promises to behave." Jhonny shook his head and turned on the T.V. to see what Nick was going to say for himself. * * * "We need to talk, 'Nick'." Howie walked towards Chris, thunder looming on his face. "I got
to get ready for the press conference, Howie." Chris answerd, "Look, I don't know what you're planning but…" "It's
not his fault, Howie. " Brian interrupted before Howie could finish.
"Hey!"
AJ came through the door, dressed in a formal suit. "I didn't
"Yes,
you did." Brian turned to meet AJ's glasses, fury shinning on his
"No, he didn't." 'Nick' interrupted and smiled under the glares of Howie, Brian and the shocked look of AJ. "I kissed him. Like this." And he promptly illustrated his words stealing a deep kiss from Brian's lips. Then, before anyone could react, he entered the room where the press conference was being held. * * * "First, I want to apologize to everyone involved for my reckless actions at the VMA's." Nick Carter was saying on the tv, and Lance sighed. "At least he admits he was reckless." JC said, his eyes glued to the screen. "He is an idiot." Chris growled, and Lance looked at him with sympathy. He supposed it was hard to his older friend to see his not so secret crush being seduced by Nick Carter. "But
what I regret the most…" Nick Carter continued while the others
"I don't
like the sound of that." Lance murmured, just as Nick smiled at "Which
is to say," Nick finished."That I'm the only gay member of the
* * * There was a lot more spin doctoring involved after Nick Carter's little confession. Teenybloopers all over switched allegiances. Nick was no longer the 'hottest' Backstreet Boy, loosing his spot to the quiet Howie D. On the other hand, he was voted 'hottest star' in the 'Out' magazine and all 'lifestyle' mags were fighting for the right to interview him. Sales for concerts went uphill. Everyone wanted to see the gay boyband member. "Your
little plan backfired, Chris." Howie glared at his old friend, who
"No, it didn't. " Chris answered. "I just want him to pay for cutting my braids. You guys ain't to blame." * * * "How do you put up with him?!" Howie and Joey asked each other when they meet at a very hidden coffee shop in Albany. Then they shared a tired look and started to laugh. "Nick is having 'mood swings'." Joey explained, when the laugh subdued. "Jhonny is afraid of letting him do interviews." "Chris
is 'exploring'." Howie complained. "He has insinuated himself
to "Surgery
is still out of the question?" Joey joked, then pushed a paper "Wishes made with one heart, true love shall find. Only selfless acts will prevail, and true happiness will arrive." Howie read, then frowned." Why does it rhyme?" "Mom did the translation." Joey explained. "Keep reading." "Two souls, mixed vessels. One the other's steps shall walk. When love finds their true half, regardless of mask, song and change, their true body will regain." "What do you make of it?" Joey asked, when Howie stopped reading. "Minus
fancy wording?" Howie said, and Joey nodded. "The two idiots
"You made all that out of this?" The Italian whistled. "Can't believe it." "I wrote How did I fall in Love with You?." Howie shrugged, smiling. "I'm good with corny metaphors." "How did I' is not that corny." Joey objected, but Howie shook his head. "It is." Then, the half Puertoriccean smiled again. "If I tell Chris to seduce Nick's love, he's not going to listen." "Then I'll tell him." Joey offered, then frowned. "But I don't know who is Nick's love." "I'll tell you." Howie offered, finishing his coffee. "And since I know who Chris' secret love is, I'll talk to Nick." |
