| Ricky's POV |

Shortly after falling asleep, I woke back up, but it wasn't from a nightmare or anything. I don't know why I woke up. Then it took a moment to sink in, the position I was in.

My back faced Ghost, and his arm was over my waist. Bear in mind, both of us slept in our boxers. I did, he wore tight underwear. I can't say it was briefs, I'm pretty sure they were booty shorts. Like chicks wear! But, Ghost does some odd shit that I don't question. One of those moments being now, however this I couldn't let slide.

He was asleep. I knew that, I could just tell, but in his sleep, he was nipping at my neck. I stayed completely still, with my breath caught in my throat. Why? I didn't know how I should feel about it. He was one of my best friends, so I shouldn't be sexually attracted to him, but this was turning me on.

I ran my hand over his after I heard him moan once. That was enough to make me want to stop this. Not that I didn't like it, but getting a hard on with the guys literally a few feet away, and Ghost was the one making me hard, was not going to be a pretty situation.

"Ghost." I whispered, trying to get him to wake up. "Devin." I snapped.

He groaned a bit, moving back. I glanced back at him in the almost pitch black bunk, but I could at least see the outline of his face.

"Everything okay?" He grumbled sleepily.

"Y-yeah, you were just... um... t-talking in your sleep." I muttered.

Ghost paused for a second. Did he fall back asleep, or was he thinking?

"Oh... oh. I'm so sorry Ricky, I don't mean to. Old habits die hard." He chuckled. "It won't happen again."

"It's okay. It's just, it kept me from sleeping. Any other time I wouldn't mind." I mumbled. Should I have said that? I think he knew what I meant by 'talking'.

"I... see." He whispered. Surprisingly, it was somewhat sheepish. Was he shy about this? "Just, um, go back to sleep. I'm sorry."

I smiled to myself. Why was I happy about that? I have a boyfriend! I shouldn't like the fact that another man was kissing and biting at my neck, even if it was in his sleep. Still, I shouldn't have been turned on by another man! Especially one of my best friends!

| Chris' POV |

After Balz came up to drive, I decided to get a little sleep before the show. A few hours later, I woke and walked into the living room area of the bus. We had finally been parked at the venue. Peering outside, I saw the line starting for the show. As I took a better look inside, however, I realized two people were missing.

"Where's Ghost and Ricky?" I asked aloud.

"Uhhh, still sleeping, I think." Ryan replied.

"You should go wake them." Balz added.

Yeah, I should. We needed to start getting ready soon. It was two-ish, and they'd still have to eat first. Then, it takes Ghost forever to get ready.

I came back to the bunks. First I opened Ghost's, and I was a little taken back by what I found. Even more, I was kind of hurt... and jealous, to see him asleep with Ricky. Why did I care? I've never seen Ricky as more than my best friend. Seeing him with another man though... it was... an indescribably feeling of betrayal.

Maybe it made it worse knowing Ghost fucks anything with a hole. If he was straight, I wouldn't give a shit. I've seen him with guys though! And he was really close with Ricky. Ghost had his arm over Ricky's waist, as they laid there spooning.

"Ricky." I said softly as I ran my hand over his arm. "Rick, wake up."

He slowly blinked himself awake. "What time is it?"

"2:30. You both should get up." I replied.

Ricky glanced behind himself. He reached back to Ghost and woke him gently. They both started to come around. I didn't stay though, I wasn't in the best mood. Why, I really wasn't sure. I was kind of over love, after my ex broke my heart. Now, I think I'm actually jealous that Ricky was in bed with someone else! Ghost, at that!

I fell into the cough with a sigh. The other two came walking in, and I asked the obvious question. "Why were you guys sleeping together?"

Balz looked up at me, puzzled. "What?"

"Ricky was sleeping in Ghost's bunk, with him." I explained.

"Well, it was cold last night." Vinny laughed.

Ghost sighed. "Ricky had one of his night terrors again. I told him to come lay with me, so he could sleep. That's all."

Yeah, I bet that's all. Give me a break! You don't wrap your arm around someone like that if you don't have at least a little something going on. Were they together? Maybe that's why Jani was so pissed about that picture a few weeks ago. It would explain why they were sleeping with each other too! And, why Kylie didn't want to have their child. She knew Ghost was cheating on her. That's all theory though.

I don't know. Looking at the facts, it seems clear cut, but nothing is as it seems here. Nothing.
