"This long ass bus ride is so fucking boring." Nick whined.
"Nick, stop whining. You're giving me a headache." Kevin said annoyed.
The guys of backstreet boys were riding on their tour bus for a 12 hour drive to the next city. They were all sitting in various spots of the entertainment room of the bus.
"I've got an idea of a fun game we can do." AJ said.
"What is it, Alex?" Brian asked his friend.
"Let's all sit on the floor in a circle and play the truth game. Each one of us takes a turn and asks someone a question and the person that is asked has to answer truthfully." AJ suggested.
"I'm in." Nick said.
"Okay. If it'll get nick to stop whining." Kevin said.
Nick stuck his tongue out at Kevin.
AJ looked at Howie and Brian.
"So, you guys game?" AJ asked them.
"Sure." Howie said.
AJ looked at Brian.
Brian looked into AJ’s eyes.
"How bout it, rok?" AJ asked softly.
"Why not?" Brian answered.
The five members sat down on the floor in a circle.
"So, who wants to go first?" AJ asked.
"I'll go." Brian said.
Brian sat there looking at each guy. His gaze landed on the person sitting on his left.
"Alex, what's your idea of a romantic date?" Brian asked.
"My idea of a romantic date......" AJ sat there thinking for a moment. "A walk on the beach at sunset and a dinner underneath the stars." AJ said.
AJ looked around.
"Kevin, why are you so protective over Brian, besides the fact that he's your cousin and all." AJ asked.
"Because Brian has the biggest heart out of all of us. It is so good. And I'm afraid that someone might use his heart and hurt him." Kevin explained.
"That is a great answer. And it’s so true. Brian does have the biggest heart." AJ said.
Nick felt his anger build as he watched as Brian and AJ shared a look.
"Howie, I am wondering about something. Are you gay?" Kevin asked.
"I'm bisexual. Why? Do you have a problem with gay people?" Howie asked.
Brian held his breath as he looked at Kevin. So many things depended on this one answer.
AJ felt shocked at the turn the questions took. He kept his face composed so his shock wouldn't show. He felt Brian tense beside him.
"I'm not very fond of gay people. It makes me sick to see two gay men. I would be happy if I never had to cross paths with gay men." Kevin said.
AJ stole a glance out of the corner of his eye at Brian. He saw Brian looking down at his hands. He knew what Kevin said hurt Brian. Hell it hurt him too. But he was more concerned about Brian. It pained him to see the man he has secretly been in love with in pain and hurting.
Brian looked down at his hands as tears filled his eyes. 'Kevin will hate me if he ever found out I was gay.' Brian thought sadly. He blinked the tears back. 'I can't ever let Kevin know I'm gay.' Brian thought. He didn't hear the question Kevin asked, but he sure as hell wasn't prepared for the question nick asked Kevin.
"So, Kevin, did you know I've been fucking your cousin for the past 3 months?" Nick asked.
