"This is weird," Ronnie says.
They're sitting shoulder to shoulder on the tour bus.
"In a good way?" Brandon asks. He's scratching at a scuff on his jeans.
"In a good way."
"Yeah, it is strange. I'm used to us being friends."
"We're still gonna be friends," Ronnie says. He's certain he said it earlier too.
"And more than that. I think."
"I'd like that."
Brandon's breath hitches. "Just never figured..." He turns to face Ronnie. "Is it okay if I kiss you? Or is it too soon? Too–"
Ronnie finishes Brandon's thought by leaning in and kissing him first.
