"Billa, please." Tom pleaded, grabbing his hand.

"No, Tom, I'm sorry, but no." Bill said, a hint of genuine regret in his tone. He sighed and removed his hand from his twin's. "I think you should leave."

Tom just stood there, dumbstruck. "Bill-"
"No, Tom, don't even start." Bill said, feeling a twinge of guilt at the heartbroken expression on his brother's face. "Just leave, Tom. Please." He said.

Tom remained frozen for another moment before slowly coming back to life. He sent a last pleading look at the other male, hoping he would change his mind. Bill shook his head, refusing to meet his eyes. Tom's gaze fell to the floor and he turned around, walking out without another word.

Bill sighed, running a hand through his dreadlocks. He walked back over to the couch and picked up his cell phone, searching through his list of contacts before finding the person he wanted to talk to. He held the phone up to his ear, waiting for the person to answer.

"Hallo?" A familiar voice greeted him.

"Hey Gustav, I need to talk to you. . ."

-

"How'd it go?" Georg asked Tom as he walked into the living room.

"He's engaged." Tom mumbled dejectedly, sitting in a chair and holding his head in his hands.

"To who?" Georg asked with a frown, setting down the bass he was playing.

"Adam Lambert."

"That one gay singer?"

Tom nodded. Georg patted his shoulder sympathetically, not really knowing what to say.

The two of them stayed silent until Gustav walked in, breaking the awkward silence. "Bill wants us to meet him and Adam tomorrow for lunch." He said.

-

"Are you sure they're going to come?" Tom asked, anxiously looking out the window of the restaurant they were waiting in.

"Who's coming?" A woman, whom Georg had brought along, asked.

"Just some friends, Lily." Georg explained.

"Bill said they'll be here any minute." Gustav said.

A couple minutes later, an Audi R8 pulled into the parking lot, Bill and Adam walking out. Adam reached over and grabbed Bill's hand. Bill smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

Tom growled, glaring at Adam. Georg patted his shoulder comfortingly.

Bill and Adam made their way inside and spotted the others. Tom smiled at Bill and his twin couldn't help but return the action. Bill sat across from Tom, Adam sitting next to him. Lily stared at Adam, smiling. Adam smiled in return, though keeping his main focus on Bill.

"Hi." Lily greeted Adam with a smile.

"Hi." Adam replied, wrapping his arm around Bill's waist as he turned to her.

"This is Lily." Georg introduced the girl sitting next to him.

"So hobbits can get girlfriends, too?" Bill teased with a smile.

"Oh ha, ha." Georg said, rolling his eyes.

Lily continued to stare at Adam, smiling dazedly. Georg looked from Lily to Adam, confused.

"Do I have something on my face?" Adam asked Lily, noticing that she was staring at him.

"No, but you should." Lily said, the lazy smile still on her lips.

"Like what?" Adam asked confusedly.

"Me."

Bill glared daggers at her from his place next to Adam but she didn't seem to notice. Georg looked over at Gustav.

"Did she just say that?"

Gustav nodded.

"But she's my date." Georg pouted.

"Apparently she doesn't like hobbits." Tom butted in.

"I'm flattered, but I'm with Bill." Adam dismissed Lily with a nervous laugh.

"Hm?" Lily asked, not even sparing a glance at Bill.

"I'm gay, honey." Adam deadpanned.

Bill smirked triumphantly, leaning against his side.

"You just haven't met the right woman yet." Lily argued.

"I'm gay." Adam repeated.

"I can still try." Lily said.

"Oh really? Then, I guess you happen to have a strap-on or something of the like?" Bill said, glaring at the girl.

"No."

"Then you aren't the right person." Bill said with a smirk.

Lily grew quiet and everyone looked at Bill, shocked. Adam smiled, finding Bill's jealousy cute.

"What? I'm just stating the truth." Bill defended himself, pouting a little bit.

The shock soon wore off and Lily continued to flirt with Adam. Bill glared and wrapped an arm around his fiancé's waist, resting his head on his shoulder. Adam smiled and kissed his cheek. Tom glared at Adam, hating that he was getting all of Bill's attention, and began flirting with Lily, hoping that she would stop paying so much attention to Adam so that Bill wouldn't pay as much attention to him because of jealousy. Georg just looked at all of them, confused about what was going on. Gustav leaned back in his chair, watching everything, amused. Noting that Tom was flirting with Lily, Bill felt a surge of jealousy and tried to kick him under the table.

"Ow!" Georg squeaked, jumping.

Bill fought the urge to laugh and tried to kick Tom again.

"Shit!" Tom said, bending over to hold the leg that Bill had kicked while glaring up at him.

"Muscle spasm." Bill deadpanned with a shrug.

Soon a waiter came to take their order, narrowly missing the chaos that had erupted earlier. Once everyone had stated what they wanted, he went back to the kitchen.

"So. . .How've you guys been?" Bill asked nonchalantly.

"Good." The other three said in variation of tone.

"What about you guys?" Gustav asked, looking from Bill to Adam and back again.

"We've been good." Adam replied with a smile, squeezing Bill's hand lightly.

Bill smiled and nodded.

The five of them continued to talk, the waiter returning with their food a few minutes later. Lily was back to flirting with Adam while Adam kept trying to tell her that he was with Bill. Lily blinked when a piece of food made contact with her cheek. Bill quickly hid the fork in his hand, feigning innocence. Adam reached over and plucked the fork out of his hands, putting it back on the table. Tom bit back a laugh, sharing a look with his twin as Bill reached over and grabbed his fork. A cherry tomato flew through the air and lightly hit Lily right under her eye. Tom and Gustav burst into laughter while Bill smirked.

"Okay, that's enough." Adam said and tried to look professional though failing to hide the amused smile on his face, taking the fork out of Bill's hand and putting it on the table before dragging him out.

Tom's laughter came to a stop and he looked at them in confusion. "Where're you taking him?" He asked.

"Just outside." Adam replied, taking Bill out of the building. Once Bill had calmed down, they walked back inside and took their seats at the table again.

They all continued to talk for around an hour before Adam said that he and Bill should leave.

"Why don't you guys come with us?" He asked the others as they began to exit the restaurant. He noticed Bill glaring at Lily and looked back at the girl. "Can you get her a ride?" He asked Georg, motioning to Lily.

Georg nodded and took Lily off to the side, calling a taxi. A taxi soon pulled up and Georg pushed Lily inside, handing the driver as much as he was willing to give. "Take her as far away as this'll get her." He said.

The driver just nodded and took the money before driving off.

A half hour later they were all at Bill and Adam's house.

"We've been busy in the studio most of the time." Bill said after a while of random chatter, leaning against Adam's side, all of them sitting in the living room.

"Studio?" Georg and Gustav asked at the same time, both suddenly interested.

"Down the hall, third door on the left." Bill said and watched as the other two stood and walked to the studio.

"I'll be right back." Adam said and kissed Bill lightly before standing and walking to the kitchen.

"Still been writing music?" Tom asked as he moved over to sit next to his twin.

"Mhm." Bill hummed.

"What's this?" Tom asked curiously as he bent over and picked up a little leather jacket discarded on the floor.

"I bought it for Twinky." Bill replied.

"'Twinky'?"

"Our cat. I bought it for her but she won't let me put it on her." Bill explained with a pout.

"You haven't changed at all." Tom laughed softly, smiling as his twin leaned against his side.

"I've missed this." Bill said softly, cuddling into his twin's side and nuzzling his neck.

"I've missed you." Tom replied quietly, running a hand along his twin's spine.

"I've missed you, too, Tomi." Bill said and snuggled closer. "Love you."

Tom smiled and kissed the top of his head, playing with his dreadlocks. "I love you, too, Maüschen."
