Team Starkid broke up a little over 5 months ago . After a rather nasty fight, the members rarely speak to each other. After living with his parents the past few months, Brian Holden learns something about his mom- she's dying. He's suddenly afraid he won't be able to give her the one thing she always looked forward to- his wedding. This is what happens when an old friend volunteers to help solve his problem, and how they fall in love on the journey while trying to bring the group back together 3 (Completely AU after Starship)I have never met Team Starkid. I love them all and this is just fiction, none of it is true.

Lauren's POV

So about two weeks later, Brian and I moved into our own place. Yeah, we were supposed to live with Donnie but let's speak the truth here- who really wants to live with that crazy man? That, plus their place was small as it is and Brian's friend Ember was moving out of her apartment, so she just handed to lease over to us.

The weirdest part about living with Brian was sharing a bed with him. Our apartment only had one bedroom, and it would look weird if someone came over and saw us sleeping in two different beds. He liked to kick a lot. A lot. Last night he smacked me so hard in the face my nose started bleeding. But I try to look on the bright side- he doesn't snore!

The thing is, when you live with someone you tend to get to know them very well and very quickly. Like, you may think you know someone, but you don't actually know them until you live with them. A few days after our "engagement", Brian went back to Michigan to see his mom. When he came back something seemed off about him. Now, after living with him, I know what it is. He's not as carefree as he used to be. I think it's my duty as his fiancé to get that carefree-ness back.

Another thing I learned from living with him is how sweet he actually is. He can be really nice. When he wants to.

"Are you naked?!" Brian shouted through the closed bathroom door.

I stopped straightening my hair long enough to glare at the door and reply, "No! Why?"

The door now opened and Brian came in. "Because I've needed a band-aid for the past ten minutes!" After getting the band-aid from under the sink, he stopped at the door and turned back to face me. "Why do you always spend so long in the bathroom in the morning?"

"So I don't look fugly." I said entirely truthful, now turning off my straightener.

"I've seen you without make-up before." The short male leaned against the doorframe.

"Just because you've seen me at my worst doesn't mean I want the rest of the world to." I was now staring at the mirror while plucking my eyebrows.

"No, I mean you aren't ugly." Brian said sincerely. Before I could reply, he left the bathroom.

The next morning I went into the bathroom as usual, ready to begin my get-ready-for-the-day routine. Only to find something missing.

Where the mirror usually is was a message:

You

Look

Fine

I didn't know when Brian actually did this. All I knew is that I was touched. Nobody had ever done anything like this for me before.

"You do." A deep voice behind me said, and I turned around to see Brian leaning on the doorframe like yesterday. I felt tears prick the back of my eyes as I went to hug him.

"Thank you." I whispered to him. That was the first day in a long time that I didn't were any makeup at all.

The next morning, I woke up to find myself cuddling with Brian, his arms hugging me. I felt more well rested than I had in months, and I suddenly realized that I didn't get kicked or hit the past night. Tilting my head up to see the sleeping man, I couldn't help but smile. He looked cute in his sleep. It all felt so right.

Sorry it's a really short chapter! I'm tired and I only wrote this little thing because I promised a new one today :) I really don't think this is my best work right now. I'll try to get another full chapter in before I start school (Thursday!), since after I'll be really busy with school, homework, and my dance schedule. And you know that "You look Fine" thing? Got the idea from a post on tumblr! (Sorry, I tried to post the link but ff won't let me post anything that looks remotely like a link)
