OINK (Yuma drabbler)

The best day of my life! My first Big Time Rush meet and greet – full access backstage pass, baby!

I had decided to go last in the hopes that, maybe, I'd get a little more time with the boys. My biggest dream – to hug Carlos, James, Logan and Kendall – now within my reach – it was worth waiting for just a few minutes longer. But it was hard. Waiting these last few minutes was literally killing me.

The hallway was almost empty. Just me and a bodyguard there, both of us waiting anxiously for me to meet Big Time Rush, for different reasons, but, the end result was just the same.

I was looking down at my feet, kicking an imaginary pebble with my purple Vans when I heard a scream come out of nowhere…well, actually, coming from around the corner.

- YUMA!

I literally jumped on the spot.

- OIIIINNNK!

Came the answer. A smile crept up on me.

- YUMA, GET BACK HERE! NOW!

That sounded like Kevin. My heart stopped. Would I really be THAT lucky as to meet one of the family members as well as Big Time Rush? My head snapped up on its own accord as I heard another desperate OINK. This one seamed closer to me than the previous one.

The clear sound of hooves padding on the concrete pavement came from the end of the hallway I was standing in. Then the sound of someone running mixed up with the little hooves.

- OIIIINK!

- Yuma! Yuma! Stop running and get back here – NOW!

Yeah! That, definitely was Kevin! 100%! I started to fangirl as Yuma came around the corner running as fast as her little hooves would carry her. On instinct I bet down on my knees and opened my arms wide. Yuma ran straight into my hug, jumped up in my lap and snuggled into the crook of my neck. She was tickling me with her wet snout so I began to giggle as Kevin finally caught up with his naughty "daughter", panting like hell. He bent down, placed his hands on his knees and took a couple of deep breaths as if he were greedy for air.

- H-h-how did yo-you…? He heaved.

I hugged Yuma closer as I tried to get over a serious case of star-struck-ness. Does that word even exist? Cause it sure does now!

- How did you do that? Kevin asked me again, now breathing normally. – I've been chasing her around for the better part of an hour! He added on an angry tone of voice, glaring at the sweet creature cuddling close into my chest.

- Just opened my arms? I looked up into Kevin mesmerizing eyes.

He seemed intrigued by my answer as he reached down to put Yuma's leash on. She saw the piece of pink leather, began to squeal again and tried to hide in between my arms. I gently stroked her back, trying to calm her, but she just wouldn't quiet down.

- I don't think she wants the leash… I told Kevin, still trying to calm my own heart down.

- She's been doing this all day. Kevin told me with resignation.

- Miss! Time to go in. The bodyguard told me. I had forgotten he was even there.

I looked down at the little… well… no so little… medium sized piggy in my arms.

- Yuma… I have to go now… I told the pig as if she could understand me, while gently caressing her back and looking up at Kevin. He smiled at me. My heart skipped a beat. Yuma squealed and pushed her snout into my neck, making me giggle again.

- I don't think she's ready to let you go yet. Kevin informed me with a little crooked smile that literally took my breath away. All I could do was nod.

- What will I do? Yuma squealed. I moved Yuma a bit so she was now resting her front hooves on my left shoulder, her belly on completely squished against my chest. She felt so warm! I smiled at the closeness. She almost felt like a child. Kevin's eyes widened.

- Yuma… What the…? He mumbled. – She never, as in NEVER, allows anyone to pick her up like that anymore… not me… not even mom! Kevin told me on a really high pitched voice.

- Em… I… "What do I answer to THAT?"

- Miss? The bodyguard prompted me.

- I have to… I signaled Kevin with my head to the room where Big Time Rush were waiting for me. "Wait! What? Big Time Rush waiting for ME? How? WHAT!?"

- Yeah…. Think I'll come with… Kevin said pointing at his pig in my arms. "Ok! That sounds odd when you say it out loud!".

I just nodded and entered the room with a huge smile on my face, Yuma in my arms and Kevin on my footsteps. Yeah! Totally normal fan! Picture of! That's me!

The boys' looks as I entered the room were something you'd pay actual money to see for yourself. Wait! I did that already! Oops!

Carlos was on his phone, most likely instagraming something, so his fingers froze mid-air, mid-word while typing something, his jaw hanging just a bit lower than normal. Logan's eyes were twice their normal size, caught up in the middle of a sentence he was clearly addressing to Kendall who's back was turned to the door. James gasped out loud, smiled and slapped a hand over his mouth, pocking Kendall's right shoulder with the other one. Seeing his band-mates' reactions, Kendall turned slowly – like in slow motion – and saw me… or Yuma… or both – I don't really know, but his face fell.

- Hey bro! Kevin said stepping from behind me, high-five-ing the boys.

- Who… Kendall mumbled to his older brother.

- Emm…

- Brianna. I offered.

- Hi! A chorus of voice replied. I smiled on the spot.

- You're so in sync! I answered to the looks they were giving me.

- We spend a lot of time together. Logan shrugged.

- How's Yuma in your arms… and so calm? Kendall asked me keeping his voice low, almost whispering.

- She wanted a hug. I had one to spare. I guess…

- Yuma's been acting weird all day. Kevin informed his brother.

- She just wants love… I told them cuddling my cheek against the happily sighing Yuma.

- Guess she monopolized you. James told me pretending to feel neglected. "Typically James!".

Carlos threw his head back and laughed.

- No luck for you today, JD! He teased. – Even pigs beat you to the punch! He kept laughing.

I understood nothing, but James fake-pouted in such an adorable way that I forgot my own thoughts.

- Wanna get a pic? The photographer asked. I swear I did not even see him standing there!

I nodded and stepped forward. Kendall put his arm around my neck, caressing Yuma a bit. She turned her snout forward, looking at the camera, as if she would have known there was a photo op. Kevin stepped by my other side, next to his "daughter". The other guys made a funny pose and the moment was forever immortalized on the camera's memory card.

Once the picture was done Yuma started squealing again and squirming in my arms. I gently put her down. She went to Kevin, poking him with her snout, making the cutest noises. Kevin bent down and put her leash on. Yuma allowed it, this time.

- Could I also get a hug? Kendall asked me, catching me completely by surprise, as I was lost watching Kevin's arms and the way his muscles were moving under his shirt while he stroked Yuma's head.

- Yeah… I agreed and reached up to give Kendall a quick hug. The other boys followed his example. My heart was pounding as if it wanted to get out of my chest!

Once that was done and over with Ranel came to me and pulled me out.

- Brianna! I heard Kevin's voice as I was almost out the door.

- Yes?

- Listen… umm… since… umm… Yuma likes you so much… umm… do you think… you'd like to… umm… maybe see her… and me… again?

My heart stopped. My eyes widened. I had no words so a just barely nodded.

- Yeah?! Kevin prompted, his eyes sparkling.

- Yeah. I finally replied.

He asked for and I gave him my phone number right before gaining a sweet kiss on the cheek from him. I walked away and into the Big Time Rush concert venue, taking my seat in a very much to-be-envied second row.

As the opening act began to strum away at their instruments I could not help but think of Kevin.

I was lost.

"What is it about the Schmidt boys that draws me in so much?"
