To Keep From Getting Burned [RickyxChris] (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

Chris' POV

Me and Ricky were sat in the seating area of our bus, the rest of the guys had just gone to bed. We sat there in silence for a few minutes. He was sat there staring into space and I watched him closely. Another moment passed and I decided to get up and sit next to him, I felt him shift next to me as I spoke "So you'd fuck me, eh?"

He didn't look at me. I raised an eyebrow as I noticed his cheeks turn a slight shade of pink, was Ricky blushing?

"Well... Um..."

I grinned as I put my arm around his shoulders. He slowly turned towards me a blush clear on his face, I laughed as I squeezed his shoulder softly and stood up "I'm kidding short-arse. I'm going to bed" I said with a smile as I stood up and stetched.

Ricky quickly put his can of Rockstar on the table as he stood up and walked past me. I watched him go as I dropped my arms to my sides.

I honestly do not understand that boy sometimes.. I'm just kidding around, it's what best friends do, right? So why does he always take things so seriously? I sighed in confusion as I went to the bunk area, everyone was already in bed by the looks of things, even Ricky.. I quickly crawled into mine and undressed down to my boxers pulling the blankets over me as I quickly fell asleep.

Ricky's POV

I woke up to the feeling of the bus moving, I guess we must be heading to the next venue already, I heard the guys talking out in the seating area and I grabbed my phone to check the time. 10.42. I got out of my bunk in only my boxers as I made my way to the bathroom, locking the door and getting into the shower, I stood under the steaming water as I closed my eyes and relaxed, clearing my mind.

Am I gay? I haven't had a girlfriend since High School and even that didn't last long.. I've never felt attracted to girls.. But I've never felt overly-attracted to guys either, other than Chris..

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist. I walked back out to my bunk and grabbed some clean clothes, I shut the door that connected the bunk area to the seating area and put my boxers on, taking the towel off I put on a pair of black skinnies, a black ripped tshirt with mesh sleeves and a black jacket on over the top. I rubbed my hair dry with the towel and went back to the bathroom to brush my teeth and put on my make-up. I finally walked out into the seating area, grabbing my cigarettes as I did and said hey to the guys as I sat down and put my black vans on. I guess you could say I like black.

Josh was driving and after a few hours we stopped at the venue, I stood outside and lit a cigarette as the guys slowly walked out, we talked for a while. You may be wondering why we don't have any other bands touring with us, perhaps I should have told you earlier but I've had other things on mind. The reason being is that at each show we get local bands to be our support acts. It's good for us and good for them as they get the acknowledgment they deserve.

Chris was talking to Devin as I smoked my cigarette and I found myself staring at him involuntarily, noticing just how tall he is.. How skinny he is, how his hair falls down his face and how his smile is beyond gorgeous. I rolled my eyes at myself as I stubbed my cigarette out and threw it on the floor. Ricky fucking stop this, it's pathetic.

We headed to the nearest café and got some coffee as we had time to kill, we walked around aimlessly afterwards, chatting and looking around, we got a few odd stares here and there but you get used to it pretty quickly. After a while we headed back to our bus to put our paint on. It took a while.. With six of us and one bathroom.. I took my beanie off and grabbed a can of Rockstar from the fridge as I waited for the rest of the guys. Balz came out and sat next to me as the others got ready.
