A/N: Dedicated to my girl, Stephanie! (Georg!)

Dreams

"Oh my god!" I held up some slinky pj's. "Uh, thanks Tom." I laughed.

"Figured you'd put them to good use." He winked, making both his brother and I blush. Neither of us were wanting that quite yet.

Next was a gift from Danny. I opened it and tried not to cry. I looked up and saw that Dan had tears in his eyes too. I gently opened the book to the first page. "Oh Danny." The tears started to fall. "Thank you so much." I stood and embraced him. He had made a scrapbook with our childhood memories.

"You're welcome. I hope you like it." He swiped a thumb over my cheeks, brushing away the tears.

"Of course I do, you dummy." I giggled through my tears. Slowly my attention returned to the presents still waiting. I saw Bill's descriptive handwriting on the only present left besides the one from my mom. I pulled it towards me and the paper rustled. I slowly opened it and before anyone else could see what the present was, I flung myself at Bill. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I pressed my lips to his quickly before sitting back down. I looked over and he had a goofy grin on his face.

"What is it April?" Mom asked in confusion.

I held it up, "It's the new Ipod, fully equipped with my favorite music! God, thank you so much Bill!"

"I hoped you'd like it." We kissed once again. "Love you."

"Man, I'm tired." Bill complained as he tried to stifle a yawn.

"Join the club." I rolled my eyes as I threw away the paper plate I was holding. "That's the last thing."

"Thanks so much for helping clean up April. Seriously, you shouldn't have had to. It was your surprise party."

"It's no problem. Besides, with me helping, it gets done faster."

"It sure does hon." I hope you enjoyed yourself." Mom smiled as she walked in.

"I did. Thanks for that beautiful necklace by the way." I yawned. "I think I need to go catch some shut eye."

"Goodnight darling. I love you."

"Love you too mom." I quickly pecked her cheek and kissed Bill. "Goodnight."

"April?" Bill mumbled sleepily, trying to see in the darkness.

"Bill," I sobbed.

"What's wrong love?" He got up and tried walking to me. "Ouch! Stupid suitcase!" He swore under his breath. "Could you turn on the light please?" I obeyed with a shaking hand. "Man, that's bright." He took a few seconds to adjust to the sudden brightness. "What's wrong?" He embraced me in his long, slender arms.

"It was so real." I muttered. "It was so damn real, I had to make sure you were still here." Sobs wracked my body.

"Shh, I'm right here." He rubbed small circles on my back. "It was just a dream." He kissed my cheek. "Would you like to stay with me for the rest of the night?"

I hesitated slightly before answering, "You wouldn't mind?"

"Of course not." He helped me into the huge bed. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna get the lights."

I nodded. As he shut the door and got the lights it dawned on me that he was only wearing his boxers. "Thanks Bill. It was just so real."

I sighed when I felt the bed sink slightly and his arm rested on my waist. "Would you mind telling me?"

"Ok. I was at my old place in L.A. I ran to open the door and Tony was standing there with a knife. I slammed the door in his face and ran to see you, only to find a note saying you didn't love me, that you'd run off with Jess. Tony got in and was chasing me, that's when I woke up." I shuddered slightly.

"Oh baby. You know I won't leave you. And I'll protect you from Tony, I promise." He pulled me closer into his arms, still rubbing small circles on my back. "Try to sleep April."

"That feels so good." I murmured into his bare chest, fighting to keep my eyes from drifting shut. "I love you Bill."

I woke up to complete warmth around me. My eyes fluttered open and I saw Bill. Lying there, breathing slowly, looking beautiful and peaceful. I slowly traced the lines and angles of his face. His eyes fluttered briefly and he fell asleep again. I brushed some of the black hair away from where it had fallen in front of his face while we slept. "You're gorgeous." I murmured, still tracing his face.

"You're gorgeous too." He smiled. I jumped at his voice.

"I didn't think you were awake." I squeaked.

"Sorry I scared you."

"Sorry I woke you up."

He shook his head. "No, you never. I actually really like the feel of your fingers tracing my face. It's almost soothing."

"Just like those circles you rubbed on my back last night." I snuggled closer to him. "It's too bright in here and it's too early to wake up."

He looked at his phone on the bedside table. "I agree." He reluctantly pulled away and got up to shut the blind. "There, want to go back to sleep?"

"Of course." I yawned and giggled slightly when he pulled me closer. I carefully wrapped my body around his lanky frame. "Night Bill."

"Bill, it's three in the afternoon!" Tom barged into the dark room. "Wake up!" He exclaimed as he pulled up the blind.

"Holy fuck, let us sleep!" The dark-haired boy shouted, burying his face into his pillow.

"Wow." Tom laughed as I tried to hide my face from the bright in Bill's neck hallow. "Get up you two." He jumped on top of us.

"Tom, get the fuck off!" Bill growled.

"Oooh, someone's grouchy! Jost isn't gonna like that." He pretended to scold his younger brother.

"Maybe if you'd helped clean up, instead of sauntering up to you own room, we might have gotten to bed earlier." Bill argued back.

"Will you two shut up? I'm trying to sleep." My voice came out muffled and Bill shivered as my warm breath hit his sensitive skin.

"No, you two need to get up. Cynthia insisted on it. Besides, April, your friends wanted to hang out with you today."

"Fine, I'm up. Now leave." I ordered the guitarist and Bill looked at me with a crazy smile. "Sorry, this is your room. I'll let you do the honors."

Bill stood and dragged his brother to the door. "Leave us alone and don't come back until later!"

I giggled, "I guess we should wake up." He groaned. "Come on Bill." I kissed him and that seemed to help. "Morning." I smiled into the next kiss.

"This is where we grew up." Tom smiled proudly as we drove by Simone's place.

"That's so neat." Karin gave a huge smile and leaned in to listen to Tom explain some key points in their life. It was so obvious she liked him and Tom liked the thought of that.

I rolled my eyes. "Can we go shopping yet?"

"I thought you were tired of shopping." Andreas laughed as I rolled my eyes yet again.

"That was yesterday, besides, we had been shopping for four hours!"

"True, true." He punched Bill's shoulder lightly. "I bet you want to go shopping, don't ya?"

"You know I do." Everyone laughed at this. We all knew he was a huge shop-a-holic.

"And here is where Gustav grew up. And there's the man of the hour!" We heard Tom exclaim and looked out the window. Sure enough, there stood Gustav, playing fetch with a puppy.

"Hey guys, what you up too?" The blond man asked.

"Nothing, taking Bill and April shopping." Tom answered, earning rolled eyes from the drummer.

"Have fun." He waved as we drove away.

"Well he seems friendly." Karin spoke sarcastically.

"He's just shy around new people." Both Bill and I spoke at the same time, defending our friend.

"Yeah, he's really opened up towards us." Jess blushed slightly, not that anyone noticed.

"Bill, you already have two pairs of silver cowboy boots." Tom rolled his eyes. "Can we go to the music store?"

"No, why don't you go look at hats or something?" He asked, intensely interested in the boots he was wearing.

"I've already looked through them twice!" Tom's face turned slightly red. He couldn't stand it when his brother would dawdle for as long as possible.

"Come here Tomi," Karin called. "This hat would look great on you." She pulled out a hat that Tom hadn't seen.

"This is so hot!" His eyes lit up. "I'm gonna get it. Thanks Karin!" He embraced her in a friendly hug, but she still blushed.

"No problem, I guess I just have great taste." She tried to play cool.

"I'd say. Now do you want to help April and I try to drag Bill out of here?"

"Sure thing." We finally got him out of the store.

"Come on, we got to look at your stores, can we please go into the music store?" Tom whined.

"Fine." I laughed. "I'll help you drag Bill." Surprisingly he didn't put up much of a fight.

"What, I got to do my shopping, I figure it's your guy's turn!" He laughed at my gob-smacked expression. "Come on, April, they're waiting."

I quickly followed. I was amazed by the quality of the instruments in the store. There was a range from guitars, to pianos, to xylophones. "This is amazing." I spoke breathlessly.

"I know," Tom stood, drooling over a Gibson that he already had.

"See, this is why I don't often agree with Tomi." Bill sighed, grabbing my hand.

"You like the store?" Andreas asked, sneaking up behind us.

I jumped but Bill just turned around with a smile. "How did you know he was behind us?" I asked in confusion.

"It's just something we developed over the years." The bleached-blond boy told me, and Bill agreed with a nod.

"You two are so weird." I shook my head.

Just then Tom walked up. "I thought Andreas might have walked into the store after some bribing."

"Oh no, not you too." I complained.

"What? What did I do?" He asked, looking at his brother and best friend in confusion.

"Nothing, she's just jealous that we have this connection thing between us." Bill filled him in and Tom smirked.

"I am not!" They all looked at me. "Fine, maybe I am." We all laughed.

"What's so funny?" Sammy asked.

"Oh nothing. April's just jealous of our friendship." Andreas joked.

"Shut up Andi!" I basically screamed at him, causing people to turn and look at us.

"Are you guys done drooling over the instruments yet?" Jess asked with a lazy smirk. "Can we go now?"

"I think that would be a good idea." I agreed with her as I saw a look of recognition in a fan's eyes. "Let's go."

"Tokio Hotel!" The girl screamed as we quickly exited the store.

"Goodbye Sammy." I hugged my best friend. "It sucks that you're leaving."

"I know. But I'm sure Bill and Tom will take good care of you." He hugged me back. "I'll call you when we land."

"Yes you will, and don't worry about what time it would be, I just want to know you land safely."

"Sure thing. Goodbye."

"I'll miss you Jess." I murmured, turning to my other friend.

"I'll miss you too Hon." We swayed through our hug. "You take care, you hear?"

"You too."

"Bye Danny." I couldn't look at him, I simply buried my face into his t-shirt.

"Goodbye April." He murmured into my hair. "We'll talk all the time, I promise."

"Ok." I finally looked at him and I started to cry.

Just then their plane was called. They all looked back regretfully. "It'll be alright April." Bill told me, gently hugging me. "You'll see each other again soon." I only nodded and hugged him back.
