Disclaimer: ngl the amount of research this took is both embarrassing and amusing, I swear I'm not completely unhinged, just a tiny bit. This is all facts™️ and follows the real timeline of events of what we know of Kellin and Vic from when they met and towards a certain point in time (2017) mixed with the right amount of personal delusion and imagination. I mean no disrespect to these guys and their personal lives, but like, come on. You'd be surprised at what the research points to. Aaanyways. Hope you enjoy!! And also hope you don't think I'm insane, but if you do I'll take it as a compliment.
Warnings: real life!Kellic, nostalgia if you were there, pining, language, cheating, heartbreak, mentions of alcohol, angst, also visuals all along the story! look at me making these interactive now. Sad stuff, happy stuff, all the fluff, me pulling up all the agendas about their songs being about each other. And another long af one-shot.
✨Special shout-out to our very own Kellic connoisseur Nicole KellicsPotato for fact checking this and for always being so supportive and a wonderful friend ilyyy go give her love too✨

April 2017
Some people say that when you meet the person you're supposed to end up with something deep inside you tells you that's it. That when they stand right in front of you, you already know that's your person, even if it is subconsciously. Call it gut feeling, destiny, fate or whatever.
I always thought that was a load of crap, to be honest. How could you know from the get go? Without knowing said person at all?
When I met Vic Fuentes I didn't think much of it at all. I had no idea he would become my universe. Which only proves my theory further. The first time I saw him I only thought he seemed like a nice dude and that we'd get along just fine. We were set to record a song together. It was only supposed to be a song.
The whole world knows exactly how we met. The fans wanted us to collaborate and of course we had to comply. It's funny to put it that way. If it weren't for them, my life probably wouldn't be how it is right now. I wouldn't change it for anything though.
It was around the early months of 2012 when I received a Twitter message from the Pierce The Veil front man. I remember being nervous because I already knew of his band and they were already big in the scene. My band was also sort of out there, but these dudes were their own breed. Everything started with a simple message.
We started talking about the song and what it meant, we discussed lyrics and advised ourselves with techniques to make our voices sound exactly how we wanted it on the song. Eventually Twitter DMs turned into texts, texts turned into emails, emails turned into phone calls, phone calls turned into FaceTime sessions that would go on for hours. We ended up getting along extremely well.
I was so anxious when I finally sent him my part of the track. I thought it wasn't good enough and that it sucked. I had to record it with this neighborhood kid that knew a bit of production, I didn't have the fancy equipment yet at all and he did. I thought Vic wouldn't like it, with all the experience he already had at the time. However, when I got his reply that he had loved it I was so relieved and happy. We really poured it all out onto that song. Once he sent me the final file I knew we had created something very special. Something that would make us proud for the rest of our lives.
We finally met in person the weekend before Warped Tour 2012 started, to rehearse our song for the first time with the whole band. The first time I saw him it was as if we'd already known each other for years. Our friendship was really that easy. Vic had this way about him that made anyone around him drawn to him. He was magnetic and I was being pulled into his world without even knowing. I got along pretty well with Jaime, Tony and Mike too. The guys were all so fun and welcomed me into their little crew with open arms, which I really appreciated since I was always weary of meeting new people.
