This was supposed to be apart of the last chapter but it was getting too long so I split it in two. Please don't be mad about it. So... yeah. Enjoy


"Well, that certainly was something." Fangs said, slamming his body down onto the ground of the stage. It was the only flat surface that was cleaner than the ground below the auditorium seats. He was pulling at the clear buttons on his flannel.

"Tell me about it." Kevin said back to him, taking a seat next him cross legged. He had the folder filled with the audition papers in his hands and he opening it. "Shall we start?"

"Before we do that... how's your headache?" Fangs asked, taking a thick pile from the folder and leaving the thinner one to Kevin.

"It's gone now." Kevin said. "Don't worry about it. Now, shall we start with the ensemble?"

Fangs nodded, taking out a smile pile from his own and placing it down in front of Kevin. Kevin did the same and they patted the stack. "Guess that's our ensemble. Now, should we move on to the main roles?"

"I was thinking about who might play Sue. I mean, I was looking at that girl Mindy... but she said that she's only available on Mondays for rehearsal. Plus her voice is way too deep for the role." Kevin said, putting a paper down and looking at another. "Cheryl's voice was pretty high for the role. And she is... sweet when she wants to be."

"Put her in the callback pile for Sue." Fangs said, looking at another paper. "Because I'm looking at Midge's paper. She seems like the type of person to play Sue."

"Yeah, but Midge's voice isn't as low. She has a more high tone. And she can hold a high note pretty well and for a pretty long time." Kevin said. "I was think of her for more for Carrie."

"Sweet Midge Klump playing Carrie?" Fangs repeated. "Sounds interesting. Okay. She'll go in the Carrie callback pile."

"And if you have Ethel's, put her in there too. She and Midge seem to have the same vocal range." Kevin added, putting a paper in the rejected pile.

"Speaking of Ethel... I heard you humming along to her audition song." Fangs said, adding one of the duet singers paper into the ensemble pile.

Kevin grinned, picking up Veronica's paper. "Yeah so? And I'm putting Veronica's paper in the Chris pile."

"Fine by and me." Fangs said. "And I didn't know that you sung."

"I don't really." Kevin said, taking a paper from Fangs and adding it into the Chris pile. "I only sing in the shower and when I think that my dad isn't home." Fangs nodded and placed a paper down into the Carrie pile and a new pile for Tommy. "Do you sing Fangs?"

"What? Me. No..." Fangs said with a head shake. He grabbed Chuck's paper and put it into the Tommy pile. "And don't try to change the subject and bring it to me. I asked you if you sing. Sing for me Keller come on."

"No, no, no! Absolutely not." Kevin said with a laugh as the pile got bigger they were done in under a minute. "No. no. I'm not a great singer. And I need to get my notebook so we can make the callback list."

As Kevin stood up, Fangs stood up with him. He ran over to Kevin as he stood up to get to the chairs and pulled him up over his shoulder. Kevin screamed out in shock as Fangs swung him around and around and around. "FANGS!" he cried. "Put me down!"

"Not until you sing for me Keller!" Fangs said, walking around in a circle and swinging Kevin around and around and around.

"I'm not a radio and I can't sing!" Kevin said in the middle of a laugh.

"Sure you can everyone can! I heard you so don't lie." Fangs said. "So if you sing for me, I'll put you down."

Kevin groaned in annoyance. "Fine, fine, fine! Just put me down."

Fangs chuckled and brought Kevin down. He landed right in front of him. Their heads were close and Fangs could feel Kevin's breath on his. Kevin looked down, trying to hide his blush and opened his mouth. She opened his mouth and started to sing a slow version of Lauv's Paranoid. Fangs instantly recognized the song, because he had rewritten the lyrics to make the song his own. As Kevin sang the song, Fangs found his hands lingering and taking one of Kevin's hands in his and his other hand going to the back of Kevin's waist. As Kevin kept singing, they started to sway and move around. Even thought there was no music being played, the two felt in in their hearts and heard it in their ears. Kevin kept singing the song as he and Fangs were spinning around in a circle, slow dancing to nothing but his shitty A Capella. At least that what's Kevin thought. He thought that singing was bad, but Fangs thought that it was like a siren singing him a song to lure him to his death. And if he got to continue listening, he would gladly accept death.

Kevin moved forward and rested his head against Fangs' chest. His necklaces were cold against his skin, but comforting for some reason. Fangs leaned forward and rested his chin on Kevin's head. They two continued swaying as the next few lyrics came.

Crazy

But baby I love you

But baby I'd too... not be

The swaying seemed to cease and the two were just standing there in a dancing position. Kevin leaned up and met eyes with Fangs. All he saw was lust and care in that look. The song was long forgotten and the two were just standing there on stage in silence. "Keller..." Fangs breathed out, his eyes still on Kevin.

"Y-Yes?..." Kevin said back, the same lustful look in his eyes. Fangs wanted to never let go of the hold that he was in. He never wanted to let Kevin go. Fangs licked his lips not caring what he happening around him, leaned forward. Kevin's heart fluttered and he leaned up as well. Their eyes closed as they moved to make their lips meet. Just as they were close enough to feel their breath, they both stopped. They just stood there. Not moving. Not touching. Not doing anything. They were just... close.

Kevin and Fangs both opened their eyes and met one another's lustful gazes. Kevin let out a small chuckle and moved his hands out of Fangs. Fangs let him go and looked over at him. His hand went to his hair and he started to rub it uncontrollably. Kevin licked his lips, wiping off all of the lip balm that he had applied and he found himself just staring up Fangs. His usually caramel colored skin was blushing a peachy color. It made Kevin blush. His hands went behind his back and he held his left wrist in his right hand, rubbing the skin underneath his fingernails and on the back of palm. Fangs looked away from Kevin for bit and then just looked down at the ground.

"I um... I should um... I should really go." Kevin said, sniffing in some of the mucus in his nose. He went down and went to grab some of the papers. "I can write out the callback sheet and put it on the drama board."

"Okay." Fangs said with a nod. "I should um... get going too."

Kevin nodded and picked up the papers, adding colorful paper clips to the one in character piles. He put the papers inside his folder and walked off the stage. He grabbed his bag and jacket from the ground. "I'll see you tomorrow Fangs."

"Yeah um... bye Keller."

Fangs watched as Kevin walked out of the auditorium. Fangs groaned loudly when the door left. Why hadn't he kissed Kevin?! Why hadn't he?! He wanted to imagine what happened if he had? Would Kevin had kissed him back? Would Kevin had pushed away? Would they me making out in that exact spot right there on the stage? Fangs wanted to kiss him. He wanted to. But why had he stopped? Fangs rubbed his own lips together and sighed. What in the world had he done? Fangs shook his head, anger at himself.

"Why didn't you kiss him?" Fangs looked around and saw Midge standing by one of the doors of the auditorium. Fangs looked over at her. How long had she been standing there. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I came because I left my makeup bag in here."

"It's... It's no problem." Fangs said, shaking her head and sitting down on the stage with his head in his hands.

Midge walked over and picked up said makeup bag. She walked over to the end of the stage and looked over at stage. "Why didn't you kiss him?"

"I... I honestly don't know." Fangs said. "I wanted to... I wanted to so badly. But... I don't know why I didn't."

"You know that Kevin likes you right?" Midge said. "I can see it in his eyes."

"I like him too! God, I like him so so much. But I... I don't know what to do."

"Well... you should do what you do best. Do what makes you... you."

Fangs thought about that. She was right. He stood up and jumped off the stage, grabbing his own stuff. "Thank you so much Midge!" he said, patting her shoulder as he ran out of the auditorium. Midge watched him leave and smiled.


Kevin drove home with the brightest blush. He and Fangs were so closed to each other. They were so close to each other. So close to kissing. Kevin wanted to kiss him. He wanted to kiss him so so bad. But he had to stop. Because what if he was reading the moment wrong? What if what he was the one feeling the lust and romance in that moment and Fangs was just being friendly? He stopped. He had to. What if something happened that Fangs would regret it or tell him that he's not attracted to men. What if that happened? What if he had just been left there, still having feelings for Fangs.

Kevin pulled his truck into his house's parking lot and he grabbed his items and he hopped out of the car. As he was about to walk up to his porch, he noticed brand new sunflowers resting in teal pots. His father never put flowers in pots unless there was something that was going on. Kevin walked up to his house and opened the door. He heard chatter, which meant that someone was here. Maybe his dad was having a dinner with a new deputy or a brand new detective. It happened all the time. Kevin was planning on making his way up to his room so that no one would know that he was here. But of course, nothing gets past his father.

"Kev! Hey, wait!"

Kevin stopped in the middle of the stairway. He sighed loudly. He hadn't spoke with his father since he had found him with Sierra McCoy. Kevin turned over and met his father's eyes. He was dressed nicely, which meant that he was having a dinner. "I'm tired dad, okay? I've had a long day."

"Just change and come down for me." Tom said to his son. "Please?"

Kevin rolled his eyes and walked up the steps. He was raised to always respect his father, no matter how mad he was at him. He put the folder down on his bedside table and his bag inside of his closet. He changed from his clothing and put on one of his nice sweaters. A black cable knit sweater that his mother had bought him for his sixteenth birthday. He walked back down the steps and walked down to the dining room. And to his surprise, he saw his father. And Sierra and Josie.

What in the name of hell were they doing here?

Kevin swallowed some of his saliva and walked over to the table. Sierra was sitting with her hands folded in front of her and she silently on looked at the younger Keller. Josie looked just as confused and upset as Kevin was. Tom walked over to the oven and pulled out a pork roast, which smelled amazing. Kevin didn't take a seat and he just stood there looking at the two in confusion and honestly utter disgust. "Take a seat Kev." Tom said to him, motioning over to the seat right next to Josie's. Kevin stayed standing. Tom sighed and set the roast in front of the table.

"Kevin... me and Tom were talking and... we're sorry." Sierra said. "We didn't mean for you to find out this way and especially like the way that you did on that night."

"And then you didn't come home. I was worried sick about you sport." Tom added. "It's just... I know that this is a lot for you to take in. Especially with your mother. But me and Sierra... we're-"

"They're in love Kev." Josie said, not caring that she was cutting off Sheriff Keller.

Tom nodded with Josie. "We are. I really do love Sierra. And as for your mother-"

"You're getting a divorce with her aren't you?" Kevin asked.

Tom nodded. "Yes. I am. I already called her and sent papers to her base."

Kevin smiled and nodded, hiding his annoyance and anger. First the almost kiss with Fangs and now this. "Right." he said.

"Look, we're not here to attack you or corner you, both you and Josie." Sierra said.

"It sure seems like it, considering you picked me up from school out of nowhere and forced me to come to this dinner." Josie said, picking at her nails.

"I'm with Josie on this." Kevin said with a head shake and shrug.

"Well it's not our intention. It's never our intention, we're you're parents and we really really care about you." Tom said, looking over at Sierra who was nodding with him. "It's just, we know that it's going to take awhile for you to get used to this. Used to us. But we want you both to get along and not hate us for this choice that we picked."

"We love each other, very very much." Sierra said, reaching forward and taking Tom's hand in hers. "And we love you. We love you more than anything else in the world. And we don't want to hurt you. Which is exactly why we are telling you about this the way that it was supposed to."

Josie and Kevin looked over and met eyes. They shrugged at one another and then looked back at their parents, still not saying a word to their parents. Tom sighed and shook his head. "Listen... I know that this is going to be a long road. So... all of us, should get started."

"Starting with the fact that we'll be... moving in together." Sierra said. "And that you two will be living under the same roof."

Josie and Kevin met eyes again. "Okay mom." Josie said. "I'm willing... to make this work."

Tom looked over at Kevin, but he didn't say a thing. Kevin leaned and took a seat in the dining room. Now he had more than one thing to worry about.

His feelings for Fangs and a possible new stepsister and mother.
