Hubbell's Girl
---
A Joshtin - At some point, Justin says to JC "Your girl is lovely, Hubbell" and everything is different.

This references a few things Iâve mentioned in one of my previous Joshtin âLance Watchedâ but it's not required reading to be able to enjoy this. Sorry, this is late. Life has been life-ing. I started this on May 13th if you can understand how much life has be life-ing. I know Justin wasnât there (or at least not photographed or mentioned as far as I know) but my brain thought a little while ago that JCâs girlfriend looks so nice that Justin might like her unlike how it seemed that he hadnât liked any of his past girlfriend while JC was dating them. Iâm also not assuming that JC doesnât like Jessica. Iâve just never seen the two of them in the same place for the entirety of Justinâs relationship soooooooâŚ.that feels like something. Anyway, only JC could be with someone who makes me stop being distracted by how handsome he is. She looks like sheâs really, really sweet. And sheâs sooooo pretty. I love, love everything that she wears to appearances with JC. She and Michael are my favorite. I clearly have a type. I might have a small crush on her. Her smile! Okay, Iâm gonna stop. Enjoy.

âThatâs fucking unbelievable,â Lance says to JC as he takes a seat next to him across from the rest of the group. Itâs the first official day of his Vegas birthday weekend. Lance has gotten very lucky to have almost all of his brothers here with him. Justin was on tour but he had three full nights in Las Vegas. Heâd be tired and tight for time but heâd promised to drop in for a drink no matter what time it was. Among an entire hoard of his closest friends, Lance was also lucky enough to have Joey and JC in town to celebrate with him.
âThe sign?â JC asks, referring to the nearly six hundred-foot electric billboards on the side of the Hilton across from where they are celebrating his 45th birthday. There is nothing like seeing your twenty-something-year-old face in an astronaut suit on the side of a building to remind you how much youâve done in your life.
âIâm sure one of your friends, if not MichaelâŚâJC starts but Lance interrupts him, once again amazed at how obtuse JC can be. âNo JC. Them. Look at them,â Lance says gesturing at Jenn and Justin chatting away like they are old friends on a sofa the short distance across the Ayu dayclub from them. Lance looks back at JC, watching him look at Jenn and Justin. There is something about the way JC is looking at them. Heâs not at all tense while heâs watching them the way that Lance expected. Lance thought for sure JC would want to split them up. Heâs observed over the years that JC can be a protective boyfriend in the best way. Walking on the outside of the street. Keeping an eye on his girlfriends at parties to make sure they are okay. You know the cute, nice guy stuff that most men donât seem to do anymore without begging. But this, whatever this is, feels like the opposite of what JC would want to see.Â
Since Justin arrived, he and Jenn have been inseparable. The minute Jenn spotted Justin, she practically ran and flung herself into Justinâs embrace. It was almost like a scene out of a rom-com. Where the male interest comes back after years of separation when truthfully Justin and Jenn had last seen each other a few months ago at the LA performance at The Wiltern. Watching them greet each other, Lance half expected them to start kissing but Justin hoisted her up, carefully avoiding planting his face in her bust, and swung them around before putting Jenn back on her high healed feet.Â
Something about Jenn and Justin together was captivating. Lance wanted to stop looking but he couldnât take his eyes off of them. They complemented each other nicely. Although not entirely his style, Lance has been finding himself a little jealous of Justinâs latest wardrobe. Heâd arrived in another subtly sexy, light-colored match-set linin outfit with a deep collar showing off just a hint of his buzzed, tanned chest. The outfit Jenn had on was sexy, full stop. A tight, colorful, and strappy dress with equally just enough skin showing to get your attention. Lance didnât know how JC managed to not wisk her back up to their hotel room with her dressed like that. Their body language with each other screamed of their familiarity. The way they seem to be melting into each other due to something other than the desert heat, their bodies seemingly one despite not being each other's partner was enough to gravitate the gaze of anyone around them.
âThat's real, isnât it?â Lance asked JC. âThey like each other?â
âWhen did that happen?â Lance asks again after JC doesnât react to his previous question. JC shrugs and takes a sip of his drink leaving Lance to interpret the casual gesture as his response to Lanceâs latest question. Justin and Jenn laugh loudly suddenly, Jenn falling backward into Justin, the back of her hand cascading across his chest while Justinâs arms flow around her both keeping her upright and emphasizing the surely hilarious story he is telling...
