A DISCLAIMER IMPORTANT: Beware that this story comes from within the chasms of crap that I call writing. And not only is it just crap it's crap that I'm making up as I go along.
I am starting with nothing so hopefully it doesn't turn out like complete dirt. I just love this pairing and wanted to write something but I have NO inspiration.
We got a gig. A real gig. Gravity 5 finally got a chance to play for an audience that didn't know they were bullied by The Perfs, didn't see them for their odd quirks but for their talent. Everyone was thrilled. Even me, I was so happy that we could finally show the world what Gravity 5 has got. But of course, I have to be at home, while my family goes with my brother to a sports thing, and make sure the cable guy comes over and fixes the loose wires.
"I'm so sorry, but I can't change my parent's minds! I already bargained with them to let me stay home instead of go with my brother to another tournament," I saw the looks of disappointment on four of their faces. Then Kasey's head snapped up and she got that evil gleam in her eye that meant she had an oh-so brilliant idea.
"I can drive!" Kasey proclaimed with her eyes flickering back and forth between all of us.
"And I can play bass, thanks for the help Kay, but you're not being a help." I said patting her on the shoulder.
"Zander can drive, too!" She squealed, thinking I'd make the immediate the connection. "I can drive Tweedledee and Tweedledum over to the hotel, which is only a few hours away, and Zander can drive you tomorrow!" She said clapping her hands.
"Why can't you drive me?" I whined, I mean… I didn't mind Zander, but I would rather be in the car with my best friend for three hours than Zander.
"I would but I have to meet with the guy who got us the job upon arriving to the hotel to talk about the gig."
"Why you?" Nelson asked putting on his 'I'm super offended' attitude and flipped his hair dramatically. "Why not any of us?"
"Because I booked the gig!" Kasey retorted. "And he wanted to talk about posters and advertizing which I probably have the best taste for. You guys will help me with the final decisions." She said smiling.
"I'm fine with it if you are." Zander offered, I responded with a single nod. Kasey called us in for a group hug and even though it was supposed to be a group effort, Zander and I held eye contact the whole time.
After the hug ended, we practiced for a long time. At around 1pm Zander and I said our goodbyes to Kevin, Nelson, and Kasey. When she realized that she was about to spend three hours with both of them her face was priceless. As the car drove away I laughed knowing they would get into some crazy shenanigan. I wouldn't be surprised if I never saw that car again or they all got to the hotel covered in mud.
"Wanna go to my place we could watch a movie or something?" I suggested, "We could order pizzzaaaaaa." I said poking his tummy and smiling.
"Sure, better than being home alone" He said putting his arms up like he was surrendering. He grabbed his keys and as we were walking out, he put his arm around me for a second but immediately flinched back, "Sorry force of habit."
I punched him lightly in the arm, accidentally starting a little slap fight all the way to the car. This was the first time that Zander and I really had some time together. Sure, we had been alone and talked but never actually have we hung out. The other times it was because we were left alone or ran into each other, this was different.
We ordered pizza when we got to my place and watched a few movies. The cable guy came around three.
We stayed up late watching all types of movies from my huge collection of DVD's. My mom always liked to buy the movies at drug stores. They were popular but not that popular and only price ofr about ten bucks. Next thing I know my head is resting on Zander's lap, it's daylight, and the DVD menu for the movie Wayne's World is playing on a loop. I sat up and violently shook the sleeping teenager awake.
Zander jolted awake and our head clonked together. We both leaned forward clutching our foreheads. I blushed when I realized how close my face was to his.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry I feel asleep at your place. And I also apologize for smashing your head," Zander said smiling when he noticed I was rubbing my face on the point of contact. He gently touched the bump on my head and left me speechless.
"No, it's totally okay. I'll go get some ice." Getting up I tripped over the empty pizza box and landed on pillow. We both started laughing hysterically. I turned over onto my back just put my hands over my face and shamefully laughed. "At least it didn't happen on the way back."
"Come here," Zander got up and offered me his hand. I took it and he pulled me up back onto my feet. Except he used a bit too much force and made me trip forward knocking both of us down onto the couch. "You're a mess!" He laughed and I buried my face into his chest to hide my blushing.
"My foot fell asleep!" I defended, blowing a piece of hair out of my face. MY HAIR! It must look awful! I tried to casually pull it back without looking like a maniac who cares about what they look like. "What time is it?" I asked looking around for a device that could tell me what time it was.
"It's almost 7:30." He said looking at his phone. "Kasey texted both of us that we should leave in a half hour about thirty minutes ago."
"I guess that doesn't give us time to shower." I said twirling a piece of my greasy hair. "Text her and say we'll be running late. Do you need anything at your place?" I said getting up and walking over to the table where my phone was.
"No, I thought I was going last night so all my stuff is in the car. I can change while you shower if you want?"
"You shower while I get my things together, then I'll shower and you can pack up the car." I suggested. I have always been good at making game plans.
"I'll go get my stuff."
After Zander and I had both cleaned ourselves, we hit the road.
I didn't plan on making this a two shot but I guess that is just how it turned out… Like I said, no idea where I was going with this.
So please review, I actually really want to hear what you have to say about them. It's a little OOC but they are rarely alone together and maybe this is how they act.
