So what does everyone think so far? What about?

Joe of course. J.ohnny O.liver E.nrique = J.O.E

Well, things start to sizzle as Joe start to realize their true feelings.

Which pair will succeed? Well, that's where all you people come in. Help me decide! But, I will only take your opinions in the last chapter.

For now, let's just enjoy the view... well... enjoy!

Oh yeah, I kinda had the, "Disable anonymous reviews" thing on.. so... if you were trying to review... sorry! I have to thank klyukaizer for that. THANK YOU!

---------------Stepping Stones Chapter 2--------------

Oliver's POV

"Ok... was that Johnny just there?" I asked Enrique.

"Well, if it was, it would be oddly uncanny." He said and smiled.

"I mean... maybe he took it the wrong way... it was just a friendship hug..." I turned to see Enrique bright red.

"So... what're you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Me? I um... well, you see... I... uh... I... don't know."

"What?"

"I don't even know why I'm here..."

Weird. He goes redder and redder every sentence. I wish I had his brain to find out what he was thinking...

Oh...! He's making me nervous! Hurry... say something Oliver!

"So... Enrique... wanna come in?" I asked and patted him on the back.

Yeah, I know... pathetic. Well, it was the best I could think of! I waited for an answer... but he just stood there.

"Enrique?" I asked again.

"No thanks, Oliver. I'd better go."

"Are you busy?"

"Sorta. Bye."

"Bye."

Okay... what just happened there? He came to my house, gave me a hug... acted all weirdly and left...

Something's wrong... and heck, what happened to Johnny?

--------------------------------------

Johnny's POV

Shit! Shit! Shit! Ok... here I am, running to nowhere... with a horrible thought in my head... WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY?? OUT LOUD???

Okay... I'm beginning to question myself... but... no! It's just impossible!! It's just too impossible! I'm a McGregor! I'm not a weakling!

(splash. splash.)

Oh, great... rain... just my luck... well, since I'm here, I'd better go rest over to that roof over there. Sigh But why are Enrique and Oliver stuck in my head?

(Johnny sits down)

Oh... great... my butt's cold and wet. Typical. But... what the hell was I thinking?

Was I jealous or something?

Whoa... I'm starting to freak myself out...just because I saw Oliver and Enrique have a friendly not-on-purpose to upset Johnny hug.

...

This is just unacceptable...

Calm down Jonathan... Nothing's wrong... You're just being a little bit too exaggerating... that's all.

Once the rain stops, you are going back home, sleep and forget any of this happened.

Ok... hey... wait... did I just call myself Jonathan? Now I KNOW something's wrong...

--------------------------------------------------

Back to Normal POV

Enrique wasn't having much of a good time himself. His legs felt heavy and for some reason... they just stopped and wouldn't budge.

He had lied to Oliver... and what did he get? A soaking wet body.

He just fell on his knees... looking down... watching the rain drops make little patterns on the floor. Appear. Disappear. Appear. Disappear.

He apparently found this rather amusing.

Then, a big rain drop falls and fell onto a puddle... making everything splash on Enrique's eyes...

And as the water droplets fall on the floor... he saw one... with Johnny in it.

"JOHNNY??" He screamed.

"What?" And from behind him was... yup... Jonathan himself.

Apparently, it was a reflection.

He stood up and tried to run... but Johnny held on to his hand... making him squeal...

Johnny pulled him closer and Enrique closed his eyes.

"Enrique..." Johnny almost begged. He had Enrique wrapped around him now.

"Let go of me!" Enrique struggled.

"Enrique, please!" Johnny's eyes were ready to burst.

Enrique felt angry... annoyed even. But when he opened his eyes... and looked into Johnny's eyes... he just felt stupid.

Both just looked at each other... their faces getting nearer... and nearer... and nearer...

---------------------------------------------------

Ok... so we have a confused Oliver, a worried Enrique and an overly exaggerated Johnny...

It's beginning to sound like a perfect love story.

Well, see you in the next Chapter! I hoped you enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed writing it! It's my best fic yet! R&R!
