I'd like a solo!chris where Justin is looming in the background at the Ball. Maybe if it was told from Justin's point of view he could be comparing it to his own solo career?

This is a little random... but it kind of needed to be.

It was different out here. Out among the screaming crowd, in disguise, to listen to one of your brothers. He didn’t mind getting jostled and stepped on by the women around him. They weren’t here for him. He scanned the crowd. Yes, predominately women. At least it was an over 18 thing. Woman here for Chris. He had to smile really. When he’d been at JC’s concert he’d been jealous as hell. Sure he’d been proud of JC. The music was awesome and so totally JC that it would have been hard to hate. But he and JC were on the same level. The same superstardom shuttle ride. It had been hard to admit that he was jealous. But there it was.

But here. In this small venue. Chris was going to be debuting his band. Justin had heard the songs. Chris was very eager when it came to creating. Proud to show things off. Justin was the same way. He had his music babies and preened like a new daddy as people listened. But he also had a stigma attached to him. The need to be the greatest. But the lights were flashing neon now. Time to listen, time to support.

He couldn’t help smiling. It was hard not to. Chris was so happy and alive and into his music. He enjoyed it. Felt it. Something that Justin had stopped doing because he was being judged and needed to be seen in a positive light. He had sold himself out to the system. He wasn’t strong like Chris, up there on stage singing raunchy lyrics, taking a chance on putting a song out there that had barely been written the night before- let alone rehearsed. Sometimes Justin felt like a singing monkey. Trained to do what people wanted. But there was Chris. On stage. Shining brighter than any star in the universe. Happy.

That’s what Justin missed.

Happy.
