In February Popslash finally got a flashfic community-![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
popslash_flash. I'm hoping it picks up speed, but there are already a bunch of nice short stories to wet your whistle. This entry to the first challenge is a short, sharp ouch of a story that takes place back in the halcyon days of NSYNC when Justin and Britney first started dating and making appearances together. It opens with JC observing his oblivious boyfriend Justin stepping out with a cunning and arrogant Britney for publicity and him finally seeing how it is going to play out. The beginning is my favorite part, but the ending is no slouch either. It is forceful and emotionally true throughout and for such a short story, it really packs a punch. This is that perfect type of story that takes just a couple minutes to read but then sticks with you for days afterward.
It’s the first time he’s chosen her over you. Her smile is sweet as she looks up at him adoringly, and he basks in it, America’s pop princess smiling just for him. He didn’t see the triumph in the smile she flashed at you when he wasn’t looking.
She’s not the little girl you met on the Mickey Mouse Club all those years ago, but you don’t think she ever really was.
It’s only a matter of time now before they publicly acknowledge that they’re together. You have to admit it’s a brilliant strategy, all the off-hand denials from Justin and the coy ones from her serving to whip the fans and the media into an even bigger frenzy. Me and Justin are not boyfriend and girlfriend. You wonder if she knows how true that is, or if she really thinks she can turn it into the lie it’s supposed to be. By the time they admit to it, the resulting press will be everything Jive wants it to be. You wonder if Justin knows what a whore that makes him.
