~*~*~*~*~~

Birthdays were supposed to be relaxing and void of stress. People were supposed to do things for YOU, not make you do all the work yet Nick had been running around like crazy trying to get everything in before midnight. Everyone had wanted to see him for at least a few hours on his special day. It had started out that morning, when Brian had phoned, waking him up first thing. Bailey had been fussy and needed to be fed, and seeing it was his turn to get up with him, Brian had decided to use the early quiet hour to wish his friend a happy 24th birthday. As angry as Nick had pretended to be at being woken up at such an ungodly hour of the day, especially on his birthday he'd been just as happy that Brian had not only remembered, but made the effort. It had almost felt like years past when they were closer than close and none of the shit had gone down between them yet.

It was during that conversation that Nick's cell phone rang, a call from AJ telling him that he and Howie were taking him out for breakfast. They'd be by around ten to pick him up and he'd better be ready or else they were going to have to give him his birthday spankings. Nick almost had half a mind to not be ready just to see if they'd actually spank him. Knowing AJ's fetish for pain and torture was the only thing that ensured Nick was actually ready at 9:55, just in case they were early for once in their lives.

They weren't.

Breakfast was great, Nick enjoying the quiet time alone with the two men. There wasn't too much time to doddle because his brother and sisters wanted to see him around noon and then he had lunch with Kevin at two after which he had heard something about Chris and Joey wanting to stop by to drop off a few presents. Briana had gotten Unca Nicky a few birthday gifts so they'd decided to hook up for a bit to exchange presents.

It was on his way back home from Joey's that his phone rang, his caller ID indicating it was the one person he'd been really wanting to hear from but hadn't. "Hey baby, about time you called!"

"I've been holding off. I know you've been a busy beaver today, seeing everyone. Happy Birthday Nicky." Justin's voice was soft and sent chills up Nick's spine almost instantly. "How has your day been?"

"Busy. I've been giving everyone a time span of a few hours with the Birthday boy. So many people, so little time." Nick pulled into his driveway, pleased to have just a few hours alone. They had made plans to have dinner at seven and it was just after five now. "We still having dinner?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you. Rather than go out for dinner, I was thinking we'd have a romantic dinner here. Is that okay?"

A smile creeped up over Nick's face and he felt butterflies in his stomach. He'd been wanting to go out for a romantic meal, but knowing the risk factor it was pretty difficult. They had talked about renting a whole restaurant for the night, but it wasn't the same. "Yeah, that's perfect sweetie. What time do you want me there?"

Justin put his hand over the receiver for a moment before coming back. "Be here at seven thirty. It'll give you a chance to have a nap before we celebrate."

Nick's cock twitched at the thought and he growled seductively. "Okay J. I'll be by then." They hung up the phone and Nick went into his bedroom, knowing that if Justin was suggesting a nap, he should definitely take one. It had been a pretty busy day and would probably be an even busier night.

By seven thirty, Nick was standing on Justin's front porch, waiting for him to answer the door. His breath caught in his throat when the younger man opened the door wearing a pair of black slacks and a fitting white dress shirt, feet bare and wearing glasses instead of his contacts. It was Nick's wet dream and he could feel his erection hardening in his own dress pants. "Fuck, you look good baby."

"I went through my closet and wore exactly what I knew you'd like. After all, it is your birthday." When the door closed behind them, Justin pulled Nick in for a long, passionate kiss, making sure to lick and taste all of Nick's mouth. He coaxed the blonde's tongue out of his own mouth so that he could suck on it, letting his hands wander down to Nick's ass in the meantime. Nick's hands went straight to the back of Justin's head as he tried to deepen the kiss, moving them so that he had Justin pinned against the wall.


"Can we skip dinner?" Nick begged, his appetite for dinner now gone. Right now the only thing on his mind was having Justin stripped naked and on the bed. He looked into Justin's eyes only to see them twinkling.

"It's funny you should suggest that..." Justin licked at Nick's lips as he pulled them both away from the wall and towards the stairs. "Dinner.. well dinner will be here later."

Nick cocked an eyebrow as he allowed himself to be led upstairs towards Justin's bedroom. "Oh really?"

"Well, later meaning when we're done with your presents and we call for it. I was thinking Chinese.. maybe pizza.. whatever you want. But we'll call for that later. Right now..." Justin pushed Nick against the wall outside of his bedroom door and kissed him long and hard, letting his hand wander down to cover Nick's bulge which was painfully hard.

With a whimper, Nick thrust into Justin's hand. At this point he didn't even care that the birthday dinner that Justin had promised to MAKE HIM was going to be take out, somehow Nick figured it was all part of Justin's elaborate plan. "Whatever you want J.. just please... need you.."

"No Nicky, it's whatever YOU want. It's YOUR birthday."

"Right now I wanna fuck you..." Nick's words came out muffled as he spoke against the skin of Justin's throat. He raised his head and put his mouth next to Justin's ear, letting his tongue lap at his lobe playfully. "I wanna fuck you so bad..." Justin only responded with a giggle.

"We'll see how you feel about that in a minute."

Nick stopped moving against Justin and stumbled back a step. "What?"

"Well Nicky, it's your birthday and I have some presents for you. So why don't you wait to see what you want to do before you make any plans." Justin's lips curled into a smirk, causing for Nick to smile shyly. "Don't want you committing yourself to something now and finding out you had other options later."

"Presents?"

"Of course. It's your birthday, of course I got you presents." Justin gave Nick a soft, sweet kiss.

For some reason, Nick hadn't expected Justin to get him anything. They always did exchange presents for their birthdays, but it wasn't something he consciously thought of on Justin's part. Nick thought about the boxes sitting on the floor of his closet at home and felt his cock twitch at the party he would be throwing for Justin in three days. "Okay.."

"Now, cover your eyes," Justin instructed. Nick did so and when Justin was confident that he wasn't peeking, he opened the door and led the blonde into the room. "Can you see anything?"

"My eyes are closed and my hands are over them, what the fuck do you think?" Nick said sarcastically.

Justin laughed, knowing that Nick hadn't peeked because if he had, there would have been more of a reaction. He pinched Nick's nipple roughly. "You're lucky it's your birthday," he laughed when Nick squealed in pain.

"Fuck, that hurt bitch."

Justin spun them around so that Nick was facing the door and he was facing the bed. He grinned ferally, "open your eyes, but don't turn around."

Nick's eyes fluttered open and their gazes locked. He could see how blue Justin's eyes were, noting how turned on the younger man was. "I love you Nick, I love you so much."

"I know J, I love you too baby." Their mouths met and they shared a steamy kiss filled with playful tongues and nibbles and bites.

"So I was wondering what you wanted for your birthday. I wanted it to be something that you want but don't have, and I never realized how hard that was. To find something you don't already

have but would make today special. So I went out for lunch with Lance one day and figured it out. I knew what I wanted to get you for your birthday."

Nick nodded, wondering what it was. His first thought being that it was going to be something electronic. A new gadget or game that no one else had and Lance had first dibs on. He was surprised when Justin turned him around and saw his present on his bed, waiting for him. "What the..." He gasped, jaw dropping open and eyes opening wide.

"Happy birthday baby."


Nick's eyes roamed over Lance's broad chest, muscular thighs and silk covered erection. He was tied by his arms to Justin's bed posts, wearing only a nervous smile and a pair of silk boxer shorts. His legs were slightly bent at the knees, spread enough so that it was seductive and not obscene. Nick's cock twitched at the sight. "What's going on?" When Justin had mentioned talking to Lance about getting him a birthday present, he didn't once figure that Lance would BE the birthday present.

"Well, I realized you don't have your very own Lance. It's something I know you want but would never get for yourself, so I had a chat with him and we both agreed it was perfect." Justin led Nick to the bed. They stopped at the foot of the bed and Justin wrapped his arms around Nick's waist from behind. "He wants you to have him. I want you to have him... don't you want him?" Justin's voice was soft, breath hot on the back of his neck.


"Fuck.. yeah..."

"I'm yours Nicky. For tonight, I'm yours. Happy birthday." Lance's voice was pure sex and with Justin's hand that had once again resumed stroking his cock through his pants, Nick felt his body shake and erupt, his orgasm consuming him.

Nick trembled as he rested his head back on Justin's shoulder. It would take a few minutes for his breathing to return to normal.


"That was flattering," Lance said from the bed. He wanted nothing more than for his arms to be free so he could remove Nick's pants and taste his climax on his skin as he got him hard again, but they weren't. He would just have to wait patiently. "But I know you're not done for the night..."

Justin winked at Lance and began to undress Nick, stopping only when the blonde was naked. Lance's eyes were wide, hungry and he licked his lips ferally. "You are so fucking beautiful Nick."

Nick looked at Justin one last time for reassurance, relieved when he saw his lover smile and nod. "You want me to leave?" Justin asked. He was more than willing to leave his lover and his best friend alone. When Nick didn't answer right away he nodded. "Let me know when you..." Justin found himself being kissed thoroughly by Nick. He whimpered as he sagged against his lover's strong body.

"Stay. I want you to stay here with us. Please. I can't do this without you here."

Justin looked down at Lance who nodded. "Okay."

"Get undressed." Nick waited until Justin was naked as well and pointed to the bed beside Lance. Justin did as he was instructed, flashing Lance a wide smile. When he was sitting on the bed, Nick gave his next command. "Kiss him J. Kiss him for me."

Justin hadn't been expecting this, and judging from Lance's reaction, he hadn't been expecting it either. When neither man moved Nick repeated himself.

"It's my birthday, I want you to kiss him. Don't tell me that you haven't before.. I know you have."

Justin licked his lips nervously and chuckled. "This is supposed to be about you Nicky...."

"I know, and this is what I want right now. Please.." Nick climbed onto the bed, crawling up Lance's body. "I want to watch you two kiss..."

Justin nodded and laid down on his side so that he was face to face with Lance. It had been a long time since they had been sexually active with one another, the last time long before he had gotten together with Nick, and that had been two years prior. "Hey," he whispered to Lance, pleased to see his skin tinge slightly pink.

"Hey."

The kiss started off light and tentative, neither wanting to move too far too fast, but Nick leaned in so that he was directly next to them. "Use your tongue baby... open up for Lance.. open up for me."

Lance let out a half whimper, half moan and Justin took that opportunity to slide his tongue past the older man's lips and into his mouth. Lance tasted exactly how he remembered, and Justin felt himself slipping deeper and deeper into the kiss. Nick could feel Lance's erection against his own and he began to grind down on him, adding to the moment. He could tell Lance wanted to free his arms, with each pull and tug on the restraints he would growl in frustration, but it was only hotter for Nick to watch, making it that much more fun.

It was a decision of whether to break up the kiss and join in, or move his attention to Lance's broad chest and muscular stomach. Watching his nipples harden into tight peaks was all Nick needed to make up his mind and without thinking, he covered one nub with his mouth, flicking it playfully with his tongue. Lance in turn, bit down on Justin's tongue causing for him to yelp out in pain.

Nick's mouth made it's way down Lance's stomach to the elastic of his boxers. He let his tongue dip underneath and giggled at the low, tortured moan that escaped. "Please Nicky..." Nick looked up to see that they'd broken the kiss and were watching his every move.

"I just want to unwrap my present," Nick informed them as he slowly peeled Lance's shorts from his body and threw them on the floor. His mouth watered at the sight of Lance's erection resting against his thigh, hard and weeping at the tip. "Your cock is so fucking sweet Lance.." Nick mumbled, pressing his face to the juncture of Lance's leg. He could feel the heat emanating from the older man's body and his own cock reacted at the sensation. Without giving him a chance to prepare himself, Nick swallowed as much of Lance as he could, stopping only when he had slid down his throat.

Lance's scream sounded throughout the bedroom, Nick's moan although not as loud, followed suit. "Holy fuck," Justin whispered, his fingers threading through Nick's blonde hair as he bobbed his head up and down on Lance's erection. Lance was writhing beneath him, unable to handle the pressure of Nick's mouth sucking him forcefully as his hands fondled his balls. Lance's own hands were balled into fists as he fought to maintain a decent level of composure. When Nick began to swallow around him, putting pressure on his already sensitive cock head, Lance moaned torturously. It was Justin's whimper that caused for Nick to pull off for a moment, gasping to catch his breath.

"What do you want me to do Lance?" Nick asked, flicking his tongue against Lance's stomach. He smirked when he received no response. The skin on Lance's chest and stomach was salty from the layer of sweat, a taste that Nick couldn't get enough of. There was something sweet at the same time that only encouraged him to taste more, making Lance tremble with anticipation and Justin hungry with desire.

Justin was unable to help himself and so his tongue joined Nick on Lance's body. "Fuck J, yeah." Lance growled, catching Nick's attention. When he looked up, his eyes met his lover's and both men grinned, dragging their tongues until they were mouth to mouth, hovering over Lance's body.

"This has got to be the best present ever!" Nick admitted, kissing Justin.

"It gets better baby, what do you want to do next?"

Nick wanted to kiss Lance. He hadn't gotten a chance to do so yet, and at Justin's question, he decided to lean down and remedy that. "I want to kiss you, is that okay Lance?"

Lance nodded his head as he stretched his neck as an offering. The kiss could be felt from the tips of their toes to the ends of their fingers. Nick's mouth moved in a lazy, confident motion over Lance's, giving him more than enough time to aquaint himself with the inside of Lance's mouth. His tongue darted into every crevice, lapped playfully against Lance's tongue and outlined his lips, showing him exactly how thankful he was for this wonderful present. By the time Nick had finished what he was doing, Lance's toes were curled up and his body was aching painfully. "I want to be inside you Lance," Nick admitted as he nuzzled the older man's throat. His voice was low and seductive causing for both of the men on the bed with him to tremble.

"Please... untie my arms Nick," Lance pleaded, his voice hoarse. He licked his lips of their dryness and managed a weak smile. "I want to be able to touch you."

Nick's eyes moved from where they were locked with Lance's to his wrists which he had to admit looked red and raw. As fun as it was being able to touch him and not have Lance move, he wanted to feel the older man touching him. Wordlessly, he shifted up higher on the bed so that he was straddling Lance's body, gently untying his wrists. Nick jumped when he felt the barest hint of a tongue on his erection. He looked down between his legs and saw Lance stretching, trying to get closer. "Yes?"

"It was just so close and I couldn't help it." Lance wasn't apologizing and didn't look sorry. There was a hunger in his eyes and Nick couldn't help but shiver. As he released the first hand, he brought it to his mouth and kissed it gently, letting his tongue lap at the irritated skin. He continued with the second, doing the same until both of Lance's hands were released. Before he could move, Nick felt Lance pull him closer, using one of his newly freed hands to guide his erection to his mouth. The suction was fast and hard, making Nick's mind swirl and his body shudder. Lance was twirling his tongue around his shaft, taking him deep into his throat and then releasing him to focus on the head. It was Justin who put a stop to things.

"If you're going to want him to fuck you, I suggest you stop before he cums." Both Lance and Nick turned to look at Justin, desperation clear in their eyes. "Or you can cum and then have to wait a while to get it back up.. I'm just sayin'". Justin shrugged as if it didn't affect him. He felt the bed shift as Nick climbed off of Lance's chest and back down between his legs.

"He's right. I can cum in your mouth.. or inside you when I'm fucking you," Nick spread Lance's legs wider, enjoying the sight of him spread out before him. He palmed Lance's erection for a few minutes, as if contemplating what he would rather do. "And as much as I'd like you to suck me off some more, I'd rather..." With his free hand, Nick gently rimmed Lance's pucker. It was beautiful to watch the other man react to his ministrations. Wordlessly, Justin handed Nick a condom and a bottle of lubrication.

"Are you okay with this baby?" Nick had to ask one more time. It didn't matter how much he wanted Lance, it had to be okay with Justin to proceed. Justin leaned forward and pressed their lips together in a kiss that was meant to be reassuring and tender.

"Thank you for asking again, but if it wasn't okay with me I wouldn't have asked him in the first place. If you don't want to do this you know you can stop it. He won't mind and I won't mind." A chuckle from Lance interrupted them.

"What?" Nick asked.

"Umm, he wouldn't have minded when he was still dressed at least a little. But he's aching hard, ready to explode and spread out like a wanton slut and he does mind. So someone better be fucking him before he has to fuck himself."

Nick and Justin exchanged glances before sitting back. "Well if you put it THAT way, maybe that would be more fun. Watching Lance fuck himself." Nick cocked his head to the side waiting. When Lance didn't move he nodded his head. "Go to it, I wanna see you do it."

Justin held back his giggle at the look of frustration on the older man's face. Lance only groaned and pulled Nick down. "Of course it's okay if you want to end it here. I'll be telling everyone what a cock tease you are, but I'll understand." He grinned up at Nick who was slightly blushing.

"I don't want to stop, but thank you anyways. I just wanted to be sure this wasn't going to backfire."

"Not going to happen. I love you both, you know that but not that way. Not in a domestic-have to look at you every day for the rest of my life when I wake up in the morning- kind of way. I'd kill either and both of you too quickly for that."

They each shared kisses, the last being Justin and Lance, which gave Nick ample time to sheathe himself with a condom and lubricate himself sufficiently. With two slick fingers, he stretched Lance adequately. When he was writhing and whimpering, working himself furiously on Nick's fingers did he withdraw them and replace them at Lance's opening with his erection. "What about you J?" Lance asked, wincing as Nick began to push into him.

Both Justin and Nick's eyes were focused on the exact spot that the two men were joined, enjoying the sight of Nick sliding effortlessly into Lance's body. "Fuck.." Justin breathed before turning to reply to Lance's question. "I'll be celebrating with the birthday boy next. Don't worry about me."

Lance's laugh turned into a moan as Nick slid his entire length inside of him, brushing against his prostate in the process. Lance's legs tightened around Nick's back, pulling him in just a little deeper. They both took a moment to catch their breath before Nick pulled back, sliding almost the entire way out. When just the head of his cock was still inside of Lance, he held the older man's hips tightly and slammed back in, repeating the motion with a rapid pace. The sound of their bodies slapping together mixed with Nick's grunts and Lance's whimpers echoed in Justin's bedroom until Nick stopped suddenly. He froze completely inside of Lance, realizing that they were both at the breaking point.

"Nick..." Lance screamed with frustration. "I was ... fucking gonna cum."

"I know... don't want it so soon.." Nick held Lance still, knowing how much he wanted his orgasm. He was shaking with the need and as desperate he was as well, it would be better if they didn't rush into it. With each passing minute that they didn't move, Nick could feel himself relaxing enough to start again, this time shifting Lance's legs so that they were over his shoulder, opening him up wider for deeper penetration. Nick slid in teasingly slow, lowering his face down to Lance's so that he could kiss his mouth. He felt a jolt of pain when Lance sucked his tongue into his lip and bit down.

"You're such a fucking tease Nick." Lance growled. His green eyes were blazing and his face and hair soaked with sweat.

Nick simply grinned back, flicking his tongue playfully against Lance's lips. "Yeah, but I'm going to make you cum so goddamned hard you'll be worshiping me forever."

Lance cocked his head to the side to look at Justin, surprised when he simply nodded his head. "He's right. He will and you will." Justin leaned in to lick a path down Nick's jaw ending at his mouth. "Fuck him baby.. ream him out good." Nick engaged Justin in another kiss, this one deeper and harder as he started to move his hips again, thrusting in and out of Lance powerfully. It was a slightly painful position for Lance to be practically bent in half, but with the jolts of extreme pleasure flowing through his body from where Nick was punching his prostate repeatedly, he couldn't bring himself to complain. Lance was taken off guard when Nick moved his face down beside his own, whispering into his ear.

"You feel so good inside Lance. Tighter than I thought you'd be..."

Lance could only whimper in response. He brought his hand in between them and blindly grasped for his erection which had been trapped between their bodies.

"No.. no hands. Trust me baby, you're not gonna need it. Hold onto me.." Nick felt Lance's hands on his ass, pulling him in deeper and harder. He pulled him in for a messy kiss, licking anywhere his tongue could reach. With a few rolls of his hips, Nick could feel Lance's cock explode between them, coating his chest and stomach with a sticky warmth that only added to the mess on their skin. He held on for a few more minutes, working Lance as hard and fast as he could. It was at the feel of Justin's hand on his lower back, his voice in his ear that Nick allowed himself to cum as well.

"Come on baby.. let it go. Cum so I can fuck you."

Justin waited until Nick had rode out most of his orgasm, his body was still shaking from the sensations. Moments earlier he'd warned Lance that he might want to move out of the way soon after Nick slid out of him. When they were once again separate, Lance gently rolled out from underneath Nick, taking the place that Justin had vacated to slide in behind his boyfriend. He needed to take a shower, but that would have to wait. He wasn't sure if he would ever get this chance again, so he was going to take full advantage of what he'd been offered that night.

Justin skipped past the condoms and only grabbed the lube, coating himself generously. He felt Nick's entrance, pleased at how pliant his lover was. With his body as relaxed as it was after cumming, he would not have to prepare him as much as normal. Justin kissed the blonde's shoulder before starting to push, sheathing himself with him.

Nick's back arched like a cat, his mouth opened in a silent scream of pleasure. Justin was stroking his back gently as he waited for Nick to fully gain conscious thought. He knew how sensitive Nick was after an intense orgasm like that and so he would be feeling things at a maximum capacity. "Fuck J..."

"Yeah baby... You okay?" Justin slid out just a little, causing for him to shake with anticipation. He locked gazes with Lance who was watching in awe, body still glowing and covered with sweat and cum.

"No.. need you to move. Start moving please..."

Justin pulled on Nick's hips so that he was just slightly on his knees, which would give him easier access to move in and out of his body with. When both men were comfortable, Justin started to move, slowly at first and then with increased speed and power. He rested his forehead on Nick's back, holding onto his hips for leverage. Justin vaguely heard Lance gasp so he turned his head to see what had happened. Lance looked up from where he'd been staring and their eyes met. "He just came again," Lance breathed.

"Kiss him Lance." Justin watched as Lance leaned in and lifted Nick's face to press their mouths together. As their lips met, Justin felt Nick start to shake and began to focus on his own orgasm. His first priority had been for Nick to cum a third time, now that he had he could work on himself.


Lance was shocked at the intensity of Nick's kiss. The blonde looked exhausted and almost in pain, but he had one hand firmly locked behind Lance's head, the other barely keeping him up on the bed. "Hurts Lance.. fuck it hurts so much.."

Lance broke the kiss, slightly worried. "Are you okay?" He wondered if he should tell Justin, warn him that he was hurting Nick. He paused at the grin covering Nick's lips.

"Fuck yeah... so damn good. Tell him.. harder.. want it harder."

Lance groaned as he kissed Nick again, thrusting his tongue forcefully in Nick's mouth. With regret he pulled away to speak to Justin. "Harder J, he wants it harder."

Justin nodded, using the last reserve of strength he had in him to slam as forcefully as he could into Nick's body. It took a few more strokes and Justin couldn't hold on any longer, cumming violently deep inside of Nick.

The two men collapsed on the bed exhausted and sated, neither able to do more than basic breathing. It was Lance who spoke first. "Holy shit guys, that was incredible."

Nick managed a smile while Justin chuckled. "It's always like that. Well, except for the part where you're here."

"Well fucking damn. Happy birthday Nicky." Lance leaned over and placed a kiss on both of their foreheads before standing up and stretching.

"Thanks Lance." Nick raised his head to see what he was going to do. "Where are you going?"

"Gonna shower. I need to clean up."

"Use the master bath. We'll use the one in the guest room Lance."

Nick noticed that Justin hadn't offered Lance to join them in a shower indicating that the evening was concluded. At least the sexual part of the evening. The offer had been for Nick's birthday and that was finished, now that the celebratory part had come to an end, their relationship had gone back to the way it was.

Justin watched Nick's eyes follow Lance to the bathroom, he waited until the door closed before speaking. "Unless you wanted him to join us." His voice was not accusing or angry, it was neutral.

"No. Not at all." Nick stood up and held his hand out for Justin to take. When he helped his boyfriend to his feet, Nick pulled him into his arms. "I love you."

Justin blushed as he relaxed into Nick's embrace. "I love you too baby."

By the time the two lovers headed downstairs, they found Lance already there, lounging on the couch with a bottle of water in hand flipping through channels. "You staying for dinner Bass? We're ordering in Chinese." Justin grabbed the cordless phone and menu from the fridge, ready to order their usual.

Lance checked the clock noticing it was after ten. "Nah, by the time it gets here I'll have to be leaving anyways. I'm meeting Joe and Chris at eleven."

Justin and Nick raised an eyebrow, smiles on their faces. Lance rolled his eyes and laughed.

"It is his birthday too you know."

"They know where you are now?" Nick asked. Justin was ordering and he turned to his boyfriend to add, "I want an extra egg roll. And some wonton soup."

Justin nodded. "Can you add on another egg roll and a wonton soup? Yes. Thank you."

Lance shook his head and shrugged. "Kinda. I mean, I told them I was having dinner with you guys so I'd be late. They were cool with it."

"Good." Justin joined the conversation, turning to Nick. "Forty five minutes."

"Awesome, I'm starved."

The silence between them was comfortable, the events of the evening sinking in. It was Lance's cell phone that broke the silence. "Hello? ... Yeah, you're where?" Lance nodded while Nick and Justin watched on quietly. "Actually, I'm just finishing here so I'll be leaving in a few. Yeah, I'll meet you upstairs. See you then." When he disconnected the call he smiled. "Chris. They're at the club now so I'm just gonna head out."

All three men got to their feet and headed towards the door. "Well Nicky, happy birthday."

Nick grinned and pulled Lance in for a tight hug. "Thank you so much Lance." Nick stroked Lance's cheek with the tips of his fingers. Their lips came together in the briefest of kisses before Nick stepped back.

"No Nick, thank you." Lance turned to Justin shyly. "And thank you Jup."

Nick watched as they too shared a brief kiss. Good byes were said and Lance was soon in his car, heading towards downtown to meet up with Chris and Joey. It was when they were alone that Nick and Justin could fully relax. They both went immediately to the couch and curled up together.

"Wow." Justin said, settled against Nick's chest.

"I know. Who would have thought." Nick was silent for a few seconds before continuing. "Thank you baby, I never expected that."

"That's why I did it."

"Well J, I'm just going to have to find some way to make it up to you."

Justin grinned, kissing the tip of Nick's nose. "I'm counting on it."
