"Now or Never" & "Black[Green]"

[turlough]

My prompt table/list.

Claim: Nsync: Lance Bass
Title: Now or Never
Author: Augustus, at res gestae and augustuscaesar
Characters: Lance, Nick Carter, the other Syncers and Boys
Prompt: 07 Love
Rating: M
Length: medium/long
Brief summary: This is the story of the evolution of Lance and Nick's relationship, told in seeminly unrelated vignettes that together creates a story that is more than the sum of its parts. Traditional as I am I might have preferred a little less jumping backwards and forwards in time, but it's still a wonderful story and the love that Lance and Nick build together, without really being aware of it, suffuses the story and makes it a joy to read.

Nick can't remember when it was that he began to rely on Lance so much. He thinks that it must have been quite some time ago for it to feel so natural now. He misses him. There's something in the way that Lance looks at him that somehow makes things seem okay. The world stops spinning out of control and Nick can breathe again without imagining the air as a jagged coil of wire within his lungs. He guesses that's what love is: green eyes and a few moments of calm within the storm.

London is coldly anonymous. Nick stands in a telephone booth in Covent Garden and smiles as tourists mill around him, taking photos of the bright red phone box, but steadfastly ignoring him. "They have no idea who I am," he whispers and, at the other end of the line, Lance's laugh is soft and low. "I do," is his reply and Nick realises, deep down, that everything is going to be okay.
