"Sky! Wait!" Ben huffed as he ran after his boyfriend, whether or not they were still together was a mystery.

"No, Ben, I won't wait! How could you do this to me!" Sky shouted back at him, turning around slightly as he stormed down the Los Angeles street, away from the bar. His thoughts were racing at a million miles per hour right now as he tried to figure out what had just happened and the alcohol wasn't helping either.

Ben sighed as he eventually caught up with Sky and he needed to explain himself before things got too out of hand, and before Sky worried himself to death. "Please... it didn't mean anything. I don't like him, I love you." he said softly as he took hold of his hand. He sounded doubtful though, like he wasn't sure what he wanted right now, and that was true, he didn't know what he wanted.

"Oh quit it with the bullshit for once in your life ben! I know you like him so just tell me straight, I don't want to be taken on this wild goose chase any more. I'm sick of it, sick of it always being you and him. It's always 'Ben and Josh' and never 'Ben and Sky', even though we are the ones that are dating, not you and Josh!" Sky turned to him and had the most desperate look in his eyes as he tried to find answers from Ben. It was all that he wanted, the truth.

"It was just a kiss!" Ben half-yelled as his eyes met with Sky's. "I didn't mean anything and it won't ever mean anything. Like I told you before, I don't like josh. I love you." he said with the same tone as before, but less volume because he didn't want to scream at him to try and show that he loved him.

Sky just shook his head and walked away from him, he couldn't believe this right now. Sure, he liked Josh and he loved Ben but the fact that they had just kissed each other, that was too far. It made him wonder that if they had kissed in public, albeit a very drunk kiss, if they had done anything else in private behind his back. He couldn't stand this anymore, all of these thoughts and the wondering. He just wanted to know and he, unintentionally, blurted it out. "Have you been cheating on me?!" he snapped, pulling his hand away and out of Ben's grip.

Ben was taken back a little, and honestly he didn't know how to respond. "I-I..." he stuttered.

~Two Weeks Earlier~

"Oh come onnnnnn, Sky!" Ben whined as he pulled at his boyfriends hoodie sleeve. "We have to go now otherwise we will be late and Jeff will have our heads in, again".

Sky finally lifted his head off the pillow and his dark ginger hair fell against his forehead, the light sweat causing it to stick to it a little. "Ben if you don't shush and let me sleep then I will slap you silly" he teased as he flopped back onto the pillow. He pulled the duvet up even further and snuggled into it even more to try and get the most warmth out of it as possible. But as soon as he did that, Ben had the smart idea to pull it completely off the bed, leaving a half-naked Sky on the bed, curling into himself to try and keep himself as warm as possible. He then opened the hotel curtains, revealing the bright, beautiful city of Los Angeles to them both.

"God I love California" Ben smiled as he admired the view. He turned back around and saw that Sky was drifting back asleep and he just couldn't help himself. He climbed onto the double bed and curled himself around his boyfriend and kissed his forehead. "Come on Sky, you know I hate being the bad guy but you really have to get up now before we are late for rehearsals." he said softly as he pulled both of them up into a sitting position. He got back off the bed and dragged Sky with him. "Now get changed, lazy pants" he joked, walking over to the dressed and pulling out some clothes for himself.

Sky groaned slightly but followed suit, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He yawned and pulled out some black shorts and a grey tank top and got ready for rehearsals. Today was going to be a long one. They had to be at the theatre for 9am to run over some scenes that weren't too great in the last performance, do the matinee and then the evening show as well, stage dooring included with both performances. It wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that the Fansies are incredibly draining. They're very obsessive and expect a lot, so whenever someone isn't at stage door, they go crazy online bombarding them with instagram dm's and trying to contact them in anyway possible. It all seemed a bit crazy to him, why would they be so obsessed with a group of teenage actors anyway? That was besides the point though because they had half an hour before they were needed at the theatre. He looked over at Ben with that usual puppy dog eyes expression that he had plastered on his face when he wanted something.
