"Wake up Mike, we've got to get ready to go on tour! Tony and Jaime will be here in 5 hours." My brother, Vic, yelled from downstairs.
"I'm coming." I managed to say. I was exhausted from last night's party. I strolled over to my wardrobe and picked out a pair of skinny jeans, a black tank and underwear. "Give me 10 minutes to shower and I'll be right down." I shouted before I shut the door to the bathroom which was linked to my room. Quickly, I undressed and stepped under the scorching hot water, letting it run down my bare limbs. While thoroughly washing my body and hair, I though about what this year's tour would be like and how Tony and Jaime were doing over these past few months. We haven't seen them since Christmas, and it was June, time for Warped Tour already. I'll miss spending time alone with Vic. Don't get me wrong, I've missed Jaime, Tony and the crew, but... Vic's special. He's.. He's my brother. Huh. It seems stupid to miss him even though I've just spent lots of time LIVING with him. I turned the water off, dried myself and got dressed, walking out of the bathroom while still towel-drying my hair. Vic was singing.
"And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake..."
"I brought a gun in as the preacher tried to stop me, hold my heart, it's beating for you anyway.." I sang along and smiled at him when he spun around, clearly shocked to see me there. I guess he didn't hear me come down then. I chuckled and grabbed a taco off the counter. "How's it going, Vic?" I asked.
"Fine, fine, thanks. Now hurry up and eat, you still need to pack!" He grinned as he rushed me. I shoved the remains of the food in my mouth and got up. "Alright, will it be cold or warm?"
"Mike, it's Warped Tour. Obviously it will be boiling hot!"
"Oh. Yeah, sorry, I think my hangover's just getting to me now." I laughed and ran upstairs, picking out some tank tops, shorts and underwear, and basically all of the usual shit that we might need on tour.
~A few hours later~
"Jaime! Tony! How are you?" I heard Vic say downstairs. I was watching a movie upstairs in my bedroom. There was a muffled reply, and then Tony yelled up the stairs.
"Mike! Come down! We have to get going soon!"
"Coming." I grabbed my suitcase and ran down the stairs, falling into Tony and hugging him.
"Hi there! Missed me?" Tony said and we both chuckled. I nodded, pretending to pout, so he playfully kissed my cheek. I chuckled and turned to Jaime.
"Hey man, how's everything?"
"Good thanks, how have you been?"
"Great! Me and Vic have missed you both, haven't we Vic?" I smiled and gently wrapped my arms around my brother's neck. He nodded. We set out for Warped.
~About 3 hours later~
When we got on to our bus we unpacked and sat down in the main area. Vic was hungry so he and Jaime decided to go and get something for us all. Me and Tony stayed.
"So... What's up?" Tony said cheerfully.
"Chillin' with the Turtle." I winked and we both chuckled.
"I've missed you Mike." He said quietly. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him, bringing him into a tight hug.
"I've missed you too Tone." He grinned like a small child on Christmas.
Jaime and Vic came in with tacos.
"We have food!" Jaime yelled. Tony jumped off the couch on which we were previously sitting and bounced over to Jaime and Vic. Soon, I joined them and we started eating. We discussed our experiences over the past few months and then settled down to watch a movie. We decided to watch a horror. When a scary scene came on, Tony would hug my arm and squeeze his eyes shut. I found that so adorable! But I wished that it was Vic who did that... What am I thinking? Vic's my brother, that wouldn't be right. Anyway, he was cuddled up to Jaime. I don't like that. I'm sitting next to him too. He could just cuddle me instead.
I'm not jealous of Jaime. That's stupid. I sighed. Tony looked up at me with a shy (or embarrassed) look on his face. He moved away from me and I felt bad. If Vic is cuddling Jaime, I will cuddle Tony. And that's exactly what I did. We all sat cuddled against each other for the next few hours and I think everyone fell asleep but me. Carefully, I studied everyone's faces. Vic looked peaceful and content in Jaime's arms. Jaime looked... Happy? Or he found something funny. And Tony, Tony just looked pleased and also content, like Vic. I guess he liked me hugging him. I smiled at the thought and soon fell asleep.
