"I want to apologize to you, JC," Lance said, his hands behind his
back.  "I'm sorry I got mad at you for having sex with Justin.  You
were right -- he's a big boy who makes his own decisions.  If you
could get him to sleep with you, it obviously wasn't meant to be
between us, and I shouldn't have gotten jealous."

JC crinkled up his eyebrows.  "I said that?"

"Well, no.  But that's what you would say, isn't it?"

"I guess..."

"So, obviously I overreacted when I said you were a... well, the
important thing is that I overreacted, and I was in the wrong, so
I brought you a present to make things right."

JC blinked.  "Um.  Okay.  That's.  Really nice of you."

Lance brought his hands out from behind his back, cradling a potted
cactus.  He handed it to JC.  "Like I said, I'm sorry.  I hope
you'll forgive me."

JC, who had put out his hands automatically, stared at the plant
Lance had placed in them.  The rounded green surface glinted with
scores of sharp needles.  He swallowed.  "Um.  Yeah.  Of course. 
Thank you."

Lance smiled.  "Hey, after what went on, it was the least I could
do."
