When The Two Men Meet Again

Andy takes a sip and looks up at the three Kropp brothers. He smiles and raises his glass to them. "Haven't seen you three in quite awhile. Are you doing anything? New album? Laying low?" 

Sebastian is the first to talk. "Yeah man we are writing a new album. It's almost done! If only we can keep Remington out of the house long enough to finish the fucking vocals." Remington looks down nervously. His heart has been racing since he saw the tall dark haired man. They went on a tour together a few years back and Remington is currently doing the vocals for his new movie American Satan. Andy always seemed nice and for some reason Remington always felt nervous around him. 

"Hey...Rem. You okay?" Andy asks the blonde haired man. Remington blinks out of his day dream again and takes a sip of his drink. "Yeah, I'm good. Just haven't been in a crowd in a while." His faces blushes a barely noticeable pink. Emerson chuckles and Sebastian winks at him. "We are going to get another drink. You two enjoy yourselves."

Remington panics internally. Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit what do I say?! 

Sebastian and Emerson quickly leave the two men. "Hey...Sebby, was Remi blushing when he was talking to Andy? Do you think....maybe..."

"That  he might have feelings? I don't know bud. He sure did get a little awkward huh. I never even thought about if he isn't straight. Maybe he will find someone else than Josie tonight," Sebastian chuckles. Hopefully Josie stays on the other side of the mansion.

"So," Andy says, "how've you been? Your music for the movie has been amazing. I can't wait for you to see it all on the big screen."

Remington smiles, "Thanks man. I'm still shocked that y'all asked me to record for it. It's definitely a new experience." He hears a glass break and looks over. Josie dropped a wine glass and is looking sloppy. Remington hides his face by the side of his hand so she doesn't see him.

"Isn't that your girl?" Remington grabs Andy by the arm and goes into another room. "Not for much longer," he whispers. "I can't keep putting up with her. She is trying to change who I am. She hates that I wear makeup. She hates the clothes I wear. Hell she even hates some of the songs I sing. She wants me to be some pop icon and help her get to the top. It's just not me."

Andy looks at the brown eyed boy and sees his sadness. When they first met he was so spunky and outgoing even if he clammed up around him. But now...he looks defeated. 

"Sweetheart, don't even worry about her anymore," Andy says. "She is making herself look bad all on her own. Don't put your reputation on the line for that."

Remington blushes at the pet name. Then he hears the familiar heels clinking closer.
