General

They both sat opposite each other on the floor. Hands out in front of them. Ross had his palms up, while Lacey had hers hovering a over his. The sun has set, leaving the one light in their hotel room the only source of illumination in the room.

"It's pretty intense." Lacey pointed out.

With a quick motion, Ross flipped his hands up, causing Lacey to instinctively move hers out of his reach. She gave a smirk, her eyes meeting his. His focus was on their hands, but a hint of a smirk dressed his lips.

"It's better when it's a small venue and a full house."

She moved hers hands again as her friend attempted to hit them again. He let out a sigh at his failure.

Just 32 minutes ago, the R5 band was on stage, a screaming crowd in front of them. Lacey was back stage with, Savannah, Vanni, Ryland, and Mark and Stormie.

"Well I'm glad I came." She smiled, her focus now mimicking Ross'.

"I'm glad you came. It sucks when you're not there."

"Why? Can't live without me?" She joked with a smile.

Ross gave a little shrug,"I miss you too much." He let the words come out with his normal nonchalant tone. He looked up at her. Upon feeling his eyes on her she looked up.

"How could be expected to go around the world without my beautiful best friend? I'd die from missing you so much." He said with so much sincereness and geniality. Lacey smiled, touched. Suddenly she felt a smack at her hands.

"I win." Ross laughed.

Unable to control herself from joining him she sighed,"You suck."

"Hey it's not like I didn't mean what I said." He smiled.

They both stood up,"Uh huh and why should I believe you?" She challenged.

"Cause I love you." He kissed her head and gave her hand a squeeze. Just as he did, the door opened to the room.

"AWWWW! That was cute."

"Shut up, Rocky." Lacey rolled her eyes at her other friend.

"Squirt's getting feisty huh?" He teased, ruffling her hair.

She could help but smile lightly at the 15 year old gesture she's always received from him, and him alone.

"First day of your first tour. Feel special yet?" Rocky asked, sitting down on the bed.

Lacey sat down on the other bed beside Ross,"I feel super special." She said playing along.

"Everyone's heading out for the night." Rocky informed the two as he slipped on a new pair of converse,"You two love birds comin'?"

"Nope. We're a lazy couple." Ross played along with his older brothers teases. Lacey laughed, laying back on the bed.

"Yeah, we're gonna stay in." She agreed.

"Suit yourself. Use protection." He called out before exiting the room. Once again leaving them alone.

Ross leaned back and propped himself up on his elbow beside Lacey, who stared up at the ceiling.

"Does it bother you when people say we're a couple?" He asked.

She shrugged,"No, it doesn't. I mean we've always heard it. I'm use to it by now."

"I know. I just mean when they say we're cute together or when people comment #Racey on all of our pictures. Do you find it weird?"

She shook her head and turned to her friend,"No. I mean it's not a lie. We would do act like a couple." She laughed, lifting a finger and moving a long strand of his blonde locks from his face.

He smiled down at her,"We would be a cute couple."

She continued to use her finger to casually play with his hair,"We would." She agreed.

Ross looked at her for a few short moments, observing her expressions. She seemed deep in thought as she played with his hair. The only person he ever liked touching his hair.

"Let's go out." He finally said getting up. "Just us."

"Wait." Lacey stopped him. She grabbed his hand just as he was sitting on the edge of the bed,"Does it bother you?" She asked hesitantly.

He offered a genuine smile as he stood up and took her other hand to pull her up off the bed. He pulled her over to him and kissed her head,"This is how we've always works. I love it."

She smiled contently,"So you're not gonna ditch me for another girl?" She smirked.

"Well..." He said, pretending to think.

"Ouch." She gave him a playful hit in the shoulder before starting to walk away.

"Hey come on I was kidding." He laughed going after her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back,"You're my favorite."

She smiled in his grasp and shook her head laughing,"Come on let's go." She said pulling him along.

I hope you enjoyed! In case you didn't pick up on it, or if you didn't read it, this is a remake of the other story I had up called Taking Chances. I really wanted to put more into it and change things up a bit. So this is the new version of it. Again, hope you enjoyed. Leave a comment with your thoughts or suggestions!
