JC/Lance/Justin

[pensnest]

Having plummeted in with a couple of fics, I'm hoping there isn't a protocol I've missed before presenting a request.

Here goes. It's something that I *know* has a story in it, but I can't figure it out for myself, and I'd love to read it.

"It's the wrong song, in the wrong style,
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile."

This involves JC, Lance and Justin, in whatever arrangement you find most convincing.

Excuses, Excuses

Well, I wrote this a while ago (dec 2004) and in my mind it seemed to fit your request. It was an outline that I hoped a friend would write as a long story, but that didn't happen.

"Excuses, Excuses"

Justin said he wasn't gay, and that the sex he had with Lance for years had reasons.

At first they had sex because, hey, they were two hormonally charged, teenaged boys left alone all night with nothing else to do... but each other. They had more because that's what boys do, they experiment. After they had tried every position, -except Lance didn't bottom, that experience was suppose to be special and not just sex... well to Lance anyway, to Justin it didn't matter because it didn't count with a guy- they had to practice, right?

Justin was full of excused... He was drunk, he wasn't drunk enough, he had a new beer, it was Saint Patrick's Day and the beer was green, it was Justin's birthday, it was Lance's birthday, it was Josh's birthday... just not his gift.

You name it, they had sex because of it. Except Justin wasn't gay. They even had sex because Lance was gay. Lance couldn't just go out and find a boyfriend, because that would be bad for the group, and because Lance had needs too and it wasn't fair for him to go without, according to Justin.

Then it just stopped, Justin ran out of excuses. Lance was left alone. Since Justin "wasn't gay," he could just move on and be with Brittney.

Then Lance started making excuses. He wasn't unhappy, really, he had a lot of work to do and work makes him happy... right? Then the movie flopped and the whole space thing flopped, and his world came crumbling down around him. But Justin wasn't gay and wasn't there for Lance. Josh was there for Lance.

Lance and Josh weren't in love. They were friends who needed each other. Josh gave Lance real reasons for their casual sex... they were fuck buddies now. No excuses for their sex, none were needed.

Then Justin found out and was back again with his excuses... It had been too long since Justin was with Lance, Justin had to make sure he still knew how to do it. But that wasn't good enough anymore for Lance. Lance wanted reasons, not excuses.

I hope this was a fit for your request. Sorry, this did not have a happy ending. One didn't really fit.

Oh, how cool is it to have a story written for *me*! *smile* I like this - the contrast of excuses and reasons definitely works. I like the ending, in fact, it'd be - well, not impossible, but difficult, to make a really happy ending. This one is nice.
Thank you!

lol. I'm glad you liked it. I thought that the concept of excuses instead of reasons fit your lyrics. Everything Justin gave Lance was wrong... I was thinking of making Josh the right reasons for Lance, but I couldn't get it to work with the feel of the story.
