1. Nervously awaiting the stage manager's call for his first solo performance, Nick's breath stopped when he saw Kevin walking toward him through the crowd and suddenly he knew everything would be all right.
2. "What the fuck Nick, if you think you can waltz right in here like nothing has happened between us and kiss me as if things were just like they used to be then dammit you're right."
3. If wishes came true, if he had a magic wand, then Kevin would be his right now; Kevin would be kissing him instead of declaring his neverending devotion to a sweet woman that Nick couldn't hate no matter how hard he tried.
4. Nick looked up with wonder at his friend, his bandmate, and now his soon-to-be lover as once more Kevin bent his head and their lips met in a soft, sweet, promise-filled kiss.
5. "Kev, don't worry", Nick soothed with a hint of panic in his voice, "I swear I can remember where I put the keys for the handcuffs, they have to be around here somewhere!"
6. Nick loved to watch Kevin sleep, and as he sketched his lover he added a bit of whimsy to the drawing, adding on hooves and long ears until Kevin resembled a character straight out of Narnia.
7. Never one to let fine champagne go to waste, Kevin methodically dribbled the remainder of the bottle over Nick's chest and abdomen, then licked at the bubbly liquid that pooled in his navel and ran down into the springy nest of curls below.
8. The morning-after scent of stale whiskey and rum was overpowering, and there hadn't been enough of either in the world to drown out Kevin's memories of Nick's betrayal.
9. It was well past midnight when Kevin stumbled to the living room and bellowed, "Knock it off Nick, that damned video game sounds like fucking World War Three has broken out in here!"
10. "I can't stand weddings Kevin," Nick complained as he watched yet another friend tie the knot with all the accompanying fluff and fanfare, "it just reminds me of what we'll never be able to have."
11. "Happy birthday Kevin," Nick whispered with a smile as he stripped slowly, "I wore my Birthday Suit just for you."
12. Kevin smiled, watching as the wind blew Nick's hair across his eyes and the sunset turned the sky to a deep orange, and decided that Aj was right: the private beach to the west of Malibu was indeed the best possible place for the blessing of their union.
13. Kevin smiled, thinking that Nick had to be the most beautiful, sexual thing he'd ever had the pleasure of well, 'having', but then again it might just have been his own personal bias.
14. When Kevin pulled up and saw smoke pouring out of the kitchen window, he was convinced that his multimillion dollar home was burning down, but he should have known that it was just Nick cooking dinner.
15. Three o'clock in the morning had become one of Kevin's favorite times of day, because in the darkness of their room the sound of Nick's breathing let him know that no matter what became of the group as a whole in the months to come, he and Nick were going to be all right and ultimately that was all that mattered.
16. Watching Nick with the blonde heirhead was breaking his heart, and Kevin realized that this must have been how Nick felt when he'd married Kris.
17. Nick faced the cheering crowd alone for the first time, and he suddenly realized what he'd suspected all along: it was Kevin's unwavering belief in him that had brought him to this moment.
18. Nick stumbled blindfolded through the open field, and as Kevin untied the cloth from over his eyes he heard him whisper, "Ever made love in a hot air balloon Nick?"
19. Kevin wrapped himself around Nick from behind and murmured, "If this balcony wasn't overlooking Times Square I'd be inside you so hard and fast your head would spin."
20. Nick's mother had been the bane of Kevin's existence for years, and right now he can't wait to see her face when he tells her that he's in love with her son; for once he hopes there's a photographer around to immportalize the moment.
21. "Shh, be quiet Nick, I'll never leave you again," Kevin whispered as he held his young lover in his arms, still shaking from the force of their argument, "I promise."
22. Nick watched as Kevin sorted his socks (by color, fabric and style) and decided that this time he'd taken his anal quirks a bit too far.
23. Nick and Kevin had been expecting the question for years, and when it finally came, 'Are you and Kevin lovers?', they simply smiled and joined hands; it was answer enough.
24. Kevin smirked as he slammed the door and went looking for Nick, because if there was one thing he'd learned in all his years as Nick's lover, it was that there was only one sure fire way to end a quarrel.
25. It was a stunned Nick who opened his mouth one time too many and then found himself pinned to the wall of the dressing room, because quitting just wasn't an option, not as long as Kevin had anything to say about it.
26. It never failed, watching Kevin being emotional and angsty in a video shoot made Nick want to drag him aside and jump his bones.
27. Nick learned to play the jester at an early age when he found it helped make things better; now he does it for the attention... Kevin's.
28. Nick sat astride a snow white horse and glared at Kevin through the slits on his suit of armor as he said, "Jousting has to be the stupidest idea you've ever had for a video, Kevin, you officially suck."
29. Nick stared in a drunken brokenhearted haze at the jewel in the stripper's navel, and all he could think was how it was the same color as Kevin's eyes the last time they'd made love.
30. "Relax Nick, I just meant we had to cool it in front of the fans, not for good," Kevin promised as he licked a slow line up Nick's throat and felt him do just that: relax.
31. Kevin looked down into the eyes of his lover, and it was the beautiful blonde's smirk that sent him spinning right over the edge into mindless bliss.
32. They sang about sorrow and were so convincing that no one knew the sheer joy that awaited them behind closed doors.
33. It was Nick's own stupidity and sense of being above it all that managed to out them to the entire fandom and he'd never forgive himself for that, never.
34. The best way to finally tell Kevin how he felt seemed to be to serenade him, and as he sat waiting in Kevin's bus he tuned his guitar and began to strum softly.
35. Nick's mother's voice dripped with sarcasm and Kevin was glad they were a continent apart, otherwise he'd have been hard pressed to keep his hands off her throat.
36. "I want to be with you Kevin, there's nothing sordid about the way I feel for you," Nick insisted, "and since when did you listen to my mother anyway?"
37. Nick watched Kevin and had to force back a laugh, because every time Kevin went on a ranting tangent like this he half expected him to break out into Hamlet's soliloquy, or something equally snooty.
38. On bended knee Nick placed his hand over his heart and said, "Forsooth, kind sir, might I sojourn in your place ... castle ... umm ..." but he dissolved into laughter as Kevin pressed him to the floor and kissed him into silence.
39. Nick was secretly pleased when Kevin's wife refused to share him, he was even more pleased when she upped and left him; now he wouldn't have to share either.
40. Kevin was tired of his solitary existence, so tired that he'd driven over seven hundred miles to look for Nick's boat slip all the while praying that he wasn't too late.
41. Nick kicked the tires as Kevin paced angrily; his lack of responsibility had gotten them stranded in the middle of nowhere with an overheated car and Kevin was never going to forgive him.
42. Nick watched with shaking hands as the reporters grilled Kevin about his pending divorce, because knowing that he was the cause made it awfully difficult to remain neutral.
43. No one had ever suspected that Nick and Kevin were lovers, not until that fateful day when Kevin spoke of Nick with a more-than-usual reverent nuance to his words.
44. It didn't matter that Kevin didn't realize Nick was even alive, it was enough for the teenager to simply be near his idol.
45. The progression from bandmates to friends to lovers seemed a natural progression for Kevin and Nick, and one their friends felt was long overdue.
46.The boat rocked as the waves lapped at the hull, and as Nick stared off toward the horizon he felt Kevin's breath on his neck and his strong arms around his waist; this was heaven on earth.
47. Kevin made a valiant effort to hold his tongue, but eventually Paris messed up one time too many and (to the cheering of Nick's fans) he made it perfectly clear what he thought of her.
48. Nick smiled as he faced the reporter and said quietly, "Kevin is the most virtuous man I've ever known; I'm not nearly good enough for him and I'm blessed that he doesn't see it that way."
49. "Hahahaha, victory is mine!" Nick crowed, dribbling the ball past Kevin yet again and adding, "Stick to chess, old man!"
50. Nick stood in the drizzle of a Kentucky afternoon, watching in defeat as the only man he'd ever love married his sweetheart, destroying any little bit of hope that might have remained.
