popslash_lollipopsWould somebody write my a fic with a weak AJ (in any sense)? You can pair him with Lance, Brian or Kevin.
Thank you so much in advance!

Date: 2005-03-23 10:34 pm (UTC)Fifty-three days. It's been fifty-three days. And AJ still feels like he has something to prove every time he walks into one of these parties.
Kevin briefed him on this, though, they all did, so he listens and tries to focus on the ridiculous bunny costumes the waitresses are wearing when they offer him his one way ticket to self-destructing hell. “Want some wine, honey?”
God, AJ is tempted. The girl smiles at him, and AJ knows he must have been Adam in some previous, fucked up life. He feels raw, like he’s scratching at a wound where the skin’s only just healed; he needs to get away.
But Howie is there, suddenly, and shoos her away with a polite smile and a clever side-step that blocks temptation from AJ’s view. Kevin joins him, his mouth drawn, body pulled taut, and AJ doesn’t need to look at any faces to know that Kevin is intimidating everyone within a twenty-meter radius.
Then Nick intercedes, puppy-dog charm and all, winking at her as he smoothly leads her elsewhere with a, “I don’t suppose you watch Oprah, do you, baby?” No one but the Boys hear the scathing sarcasm that lies beneath.
“It’s okay,” Brian says, as he slips in and takes AJ’s elbow inconspicuously. “You’re okay, Aje. Breathe.”
AJ relaxes, marginally, and Brian laughs when he hears a muffled exhale.
“Why am I here?” AJ mutters, as they force cordial smiles at the foreign faces around them. This used to be his scene; Playboy mansion, booze and schmooze—heck, half the people here are dressed as fucking *bunnies*. Now he’s so paranoid about the alcohol that Brian can feel the tension quivering in AJ’s stiff shoulders.
“Because you can, and you have four bodyguards at your service, man,” Brian tells him, and AJ hears the unspoken ‘we love you’ that Brian doesn’t voice.
AJ swallows, tightly, as Brian smoothly waves off another waitress with four full glasses of sherry on her tray. He can’t even face champagne anymore, and his hands itch where they’re clenched in his pockets.
“How long before we can leave?” he growls, his voice a bare rasp from the need to escape.
“Not yet,” Brian replies, but his tone holds a promise when he says, “but I’ll make it up to you.”
Nick glances over at them just then, grinning from where he’s flirting with the waitress, and silently flashes them a thumbs-up sign. Brian grins back. “Even better than Nicky’s going to make it for that girl.”
Distracted momentarily, AJ looks over. His mouth curves involuntarily—they all know how good Nick gives. “That’s what you said last week, too.”
Brian raises an eyebrow and looks up at AJ’s tone. “Are you mocking me, Bone?”
“No?”
“Oh, the sincerity,” Brian shakes his head. “That’s not what you were saying last night.”
AJ grins, and loosens up slightly. “No, but if I recall right, that’s because we weren’t doing much talking last night.”
“That’s right!” Brian mock exclaims, and somehow he’s managed to guide AJ across the room to the refreshments, without getting stopped by some fool who wants to know how the other N’sync band members are doing. “You were just worshipping me.”
“Worshipping?” AJ asks, wryly.
Brian’s grin is a mile wide, and he takes on a hushed falsetto. “Oh, god! God, Brian, god!”
AJ’s gaping; he can’t help it. Brian hides a chuckle as he thrusts a cup of punch into AJ’s hands. “Tonight you better blow my fucking mind, Littrell,” AJ warns, downing half the cup in one swallow, “because there’s no other way I’ll forgive that.”
Gratified, Brian turns to give AJ a wink before pulling him off to somewhere the liquor won’t follow. It doesn’t occur to AJ, till then, that he hasn’t thought about drinking in the last ten minutes. He smiles, and slides his hand into Brian’s for two seconds before letting go.
He’s going to be okay.
