Why No Answer? *ᴬˡᵉˣ ᵀᵘʳⁿᵉʳ*

Part 8

The next morning, both of you venture downstairs to have breakfast with the others and find that they're all there waiting for with knowing looks. You and Alex can't stop the grins on your faces from showing as you both clearly know Matt will have gone around and told them all before you even got the chance.

They're all  happy for you, but of course you get some jokes and some questions. Jamie had slowly adjusted himself to you new dynamic, and you're already used to the jokes he started in private with you and Alex now. But when you sit down at breakfast today, he asks the both of you so everyone at the table hears, "Suck his dick last night?"

"Wow, you've been waiting for that one, haven't you?" You laugh, sitting yourself down next to him, immediately reaching for the menu so you can see what's on offer for breakfast.

The table obviously all laugh, and it's all fun and playful as you imagined it would be. You're glad Matt isn't cringing at all the details that you're giving out, as people wanted to know things like how far back moments happened, like when Alex asked you out officially and stuff like that.

All of the lads seem really happy for you and even some of your other friends that are a part of the crew are shocked but buzzing for you. Alex gets loads of people saying, 'You better treat her right' throughout the day which makes you laugh a lot.

But thankfully it's business as usual, just with the addition of getting to hold your boyfriend's hand and kiss him the odd time when you want to. You'd rather most of your affection be in private though, so not much really changes on the social front.

Even when you're trying to be discrete about it, you don't find it too hard because you're still just the same Y/N and Alex. You've been friends for years, so the dynamic shift isn't all that drastic.

You're both just the same friends that you can walk next to each other and it just be normal. You don't have to be touching each other all the time, you could happily go and walk beside Miles or Nick and just go spend time with Alex every now and then.

You're truly glad that things never feel too different. It's comfortable and normal, and that's makes you so happy that nothing had changed with any of the others despite your new relationship status.

You guess the only thing that's marginally different is the first night back on the bus after you'd all been staying in the hotel. 

You're all heading to bed about 2 hours after their latest gig finishes, and the bus is already on the move again. When you come out of the bathroom, after changing, you head to your own bunk, but you then realise you don't actually need to.

Alex's bunk is the top one in the middle, so you walk right past your own and straight to his. When you get to him, you see that he's just in his boxers like most of the lads usually are when they sleep on this bus.

"Hey." You say with a big smile.

Alex grins, "Hey." as his messy hair almost falls into his eyes. He makes you smile when he says, "Was just about to come kiss you."

"Vile." You hear Miles gag from the bunk directly below and you look down at him and frown.

"Miles, he kisses you... What are you on about?" You question, not understanding.

They're literally always touchy feely with each other which you think is so cute and adorable. They've always been great mates and you think it's a testament to their close friendship even when they're performing together on stage and only use one microphone.

So it makes you laugh when Alex leans down over his bunk to say, "Little offended there mate." to his friend.

Nick bursts out laughing at your backchat and Alex's hurt reaction and you chuckle along before you glance back to your boyfriend. Once his head is the right way up again, you smile at him.
