"Oh my gosh. Bill is actually going to do this." Adley said, surprised.
"I still don't know what's going on…" Seth added.
"Is he going to sing?" Jason asked.
Andy smiled, nodding. "Hell yeah."
"Hey. I'm Kat and this is Bill. Bill's not very happy right now because I decided to say we would perform tonight. But anyway, here we go." Kat began strumming, Bill joining in.
Bill took a deep breath before his mouth made its way to the microphone, his eyes slightly closed. He began to sing the lyrics to a song Andy knew very well, Mr. Brightside. Before Andy knew it the song was already almost over. Bill's voice has clearly shocked Jason and Seth, along with Melissa.
The song ended, loud claps coming after. People wooted and called out. Kat looked ecstatic at the reaction while Bill still looked extremely nervous, turning around for a second before continuing on. Kat cracked a joke, eliciting some laughs in the crowd before she started the strumming again.
This time the song Everything You Want sounded in Andy's ears. A song that Bill and Andy had made promises over that they would find a "He" like in the song. Smiling slowly and contentedly, he inched closer into Jason. Bill's eyes remained looking at the floor the entire song. Andy hummed along as Bill sang.
Then the best part came up that Kat joined in, getting a smile from Bill. "He's everything you want, he's everything you need, he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be, he says all the right things at exactly the right time but he means nothing to you and you don't know why."
Once again, the good song ended soon. Bill stood up as soon as he finished, muttering a 'thank you' into the mic before hurrying off stage. Kat waved, following after him.
Andy clapped too, excited to bring this up to Bill when he got home.

After that he wanted to leave immediately, slightly crabby at Seth and his girlfriend for stopping at Seth's apartment. Seth had come back though, telling Jason that he had to drop the girl off so she could go home.
"I can't believe Bill did that." Seth added, looking out the window.
"Oh, honey. If you can't believe Bill did that then you probably don't even want to know the other things Bill has done." Adley responded, he too looking out the window.
"I'd be very interested in knowing actually." Seth chuckled.
Jason glanced over at Andy and then back at the road, "I'd be interested too. You three seem pretty crazy."
"It wasn't always just us three. There were four." Adley said, sounding dramatic. "It's Andy's sister, Mills. If you're so interested in our stories, Mills-"
"Adley, shut up." Andy said warningly.
Adley frowned, "He'll see them eventually. You know Mills will find a way."
"I'll delete everything before he's able to."
Adley scoffed, "Good luck. I wish I could delete some of that stuff. Mills has a secret stash. I've tried to delete my chicken moment. I destroyed that tape actually and she made a new one."
"There are tapes?" Jason grinned.
Andy was about to say something but stopped himself. "Nope, no tapes."
Adley quickly whispered, "Yes there is."
"Adley." Andy groaned, "Why? Are you trying to make him break up with me?"
"No!" Adley said quickly. "And you won't. I know he wouldn't."
Jason smiled crookedly, "Why, thank you Adley."
"You're welcome. I have faith in this one Andy." Adley added.
Andy's head fell in his hands, "Adley. Sh."
"Whatever you say cousin." Adley giggled under his breath.

The ride was nice and silent after that and Andy eagerly bouncing in his seat to get home. As soon as they entered the apartment Andy had run up the steps as fast as he could. It only took him a few seconds to reach the door but he remembered he had given Jason his keys. It took Jason three minutes; Andy was in fact counting the seconds to get up.
Jason wiggled the keys, making a jiggling noise the entire time he jumped up the steps. "Looking for these?"
Andy raised a cocky eyebrow while cocking his hips to the left, holding his hand out for them. Jason held them back from his reach, puckering his lips out. Smiling, Andy kissed him, grabbing the keys as he did so. Now less eager to see Bill, eager to kiss Jason more, he slowly opened the door.
"Bill?" Andy called into the apartment, throwing the keys across the counter. He walked further into the room, seeing Bill knocked out on the couch, on his stomach. "Huh, I found Bill." He chuckled, hearing Jason and Seth chat in the kitchen. Andy tried shaking him awake but only got a mumbled curse word. "Get up." Andy demanded, shaking him harder.
Bill's head sprung up from the pillow, "Okay, okay. I'm up."
"About time," Andy grumbled, heading back to the kitchen. He passed under the contrast of lights, from the dim living room to the shining kitchen. Most of the appliances gave off an incredible shine because of their steel outsides. Normally, Andy didn't like the kitchen much. It was quite boring, with a white tile pattern behind the stove, the rest painted a dark red on the drywall. But seeing Jason lean over the island, his ass accentuated nicely in his dark jeans, made the kitchen somehow more exciting.
"Andy, where the hell did you go?" Bill grumbled, somewhere down the hallway.
Andy continued further into the room, wrapping his pale arms around Jason's waist and resting his chin on Jason's shoulder. Jason turned slightly to the left, smiling ecstatically at his boyfriend. Andy couldn't help but grin back, quickly sneaking a kiss.
"In here," he finally called back to his friend.
Bill groaned loudly, still lost somewhere down the hallway. Padding was heard as Bill neared the kitchen. He finally made it, his hands covering his eyes as he stretched. The blue shirt rode up, revealing his pale stomach and the rim of his plaid boxers. Sighing, he removed his hands, squinting.
"Why is it so bright in here?" Bill grumbled, walking pass Seth to the fridge. Then, as if he saw something speed by his face, he spun back around. "Oh,"
Andy scrunched his face up in confusion to his friend's reaction to whatever the hell he saw. He laughed slightly, asking, "What was that about?"
Bill shivered from the cold air seeping from the fridge. Pulling out a carton of orange juice, he shrugged. "I realized there were people in the room. My eyes were still adjusting." After he poured the juice into a glass, Bill took a large gulp from the liquid, sighing once more. "I'll be back." After that he quickly exited, going back down the hallway.
Andy, now on Jason's left (he had moved sometime during the conversation), spread his hands out on the counter.
"Are you bored?" Jason asked, poking the boy's hand.
Andy nodded, pouting slightly. "Kind of. But once Bill wakes up a bit more I'm sure he'll find something for us to do. Most likely we'll end up playing a board game. We might watch a movie. I don't know."
Jason's eyes roamed the kitchen wondering how to respond to that. He then watched Seth, who was busy texting away on his phone.
"So how did you and Bill's night go?" Jason found himself asking.
Seth's head snapped up, a blush spreading across the bridge of his nose. "Huh?" His eyes were wide but Jason couldn't tell if it was because he was hiding something and it surprised him or if the question had sincerely confused him and there was nothing to tell Jason.
"This morning we called Bill and he said you spent the night. You told me you were going over to Melissa's. Why did you stay?" Jason continued, earning a chuckle from Andy.
Seth cleared his throat, rolling his eyes. "Nothing. Are you trying to say we did something?"
Jason shrugged, smirking slightly. His friend was certainly hiding something. He could tell by the way he cleared his throat, flushed the slightest more red, switched to lean on his left side. "I know you Seth. There's always something."
"Nope, not that time." Seth added, almost trying to convince himself of that statement.
Jason rolled his eyes, "Just tell me."
"I am! We didn't do anything." Seth added a chuckle at the end of his statement, once again situating himself on the gray counter.
"Okay, then what did you do then?" Jason asked, just as Bill rounded the corner.
Bill entered the kitchen, situating his blue button-down. Even though he had been laying on the couch, doing whatever else he had down, his shirt was not wrinkled the slightest bit. "What are you talking about?"
Seth quickly responded with, "He wants to know what we did last night."
"Oh, they asked me that too." Bill eyed Andy. "I told Andy that I had gone to bed. I don't know what he did..." Bill's eyes scanned over Seth's face, no emotion showed what-so-ever.
At that moment the phone rang, quickly taking away the awkwardness that was building. It was Andy's cell phone. Jason picked up the slender phone, his eyes trailing down to the caller ID, it was just something he had to do because he couldn't go the night without knowing who it was. It read Millie. Jason gasped, pulling the phone back to himself before Andy could even reach for it. He answered the phone, smiling at his boyfriends reaction.
"Hi, this is Jason." Jason answered, walking slowly away from Andy who was advancing on him.
"Hi Jason. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Mills, Andy's sister." The girl replied calmly.
"I've heard quite a bit about you too. I heard you have some tapes that I might want to see." Jason wiggled his eyebrows at Andy. Jason was now backed up in the corner, turned towards the wall so Andy couldn't touch the phone, even though he did have his height on his side.
Mills chuckled, "I do. I'll bring them with me when I come tomorrow. You can't tell Andy though, he despises these tapes."
"Of course. Would you like to talk to him?" Jason was still grinning.
Mills seemed to ponder this but it didn't take long for her to respond. "Nah. Now that I think about it I want my arrival to be a surprise. So if you don't mind I'd appreciate it if Andy remained in the dark about our conversation."
"Of course," Jason pursed his lips, trying not to laugh as Andy tickled his sides. With the phone in his right hand, he grabbed Andy's left wrist with his left hand. "Nice talking to you Mills."
"Nice talking to you too, Jason." There was an evil tone that only sisters could ever carry. "I'll see you tomorrow. Tell Bill and Andy I say hello."
"I will do that good bye." Jason took the phone out from his ear, hanging up the phone. He let go of Andy's hand, turning around and giving the phone to the boy.
"Mills says hello to Andy and Bill." Jason chuckled.
Bill snorted slightly, "Gotta love Mills. Who told you about the tapes?"
"Adley did." Jason responded, pulling up the sides of Andy's face. The boy had been frowning which Jason hates when he does that.
"I must destroy Adley," Andy growled.
Bill burst out laughing, "I'll destroy the tapes in the meantime."
"I have to see these tapes," Seth added, "I can only imagine what's on them. You two seem to hate them enough."
