Hold On 'Til May - Fuenciado

Chapter Thirty-One

[Vic]

"Come on Jaime!" I call, sticking my head in the washroom, where Jaime was fixing his hair. "We've gotta go soon!" I walk up behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist and putting my head on his shoulder. "You look fine," I smile up at Jaime, and he lets out an 'mmm', before quickly finishing his hair.

"I can't believe it's already time for another tour!" Jaime turns around and smiles at me, and I pull him close to me, kissing him.

"Yeah, and this time we've got more comfortable beds, since I've got you," I squeeze Jaime's hips, "and Mike's got Tony!" Jaime grabs my hand, leading me out of the washroom and into the bedroom, to grab the last few things we needed before we left.

We stepped on the bus.

"HOME SWEET HOME!" Jaime took a deep breath, spreading his arms as if he was about to hug something. We all laughed at his eagerness to be cramped in this small bus. I understood his excitement for the tour, but I could do without the bus.

“Yep. Now start unpacking,” Mike laughed, passing me Jaime’s suitcase to pass to Jaime. Jaime shoved his suitcase, and soon after mine, under our bed, just to save time, because none of us felt like dealing with that right now. He tossed Mike’s and Tony’s on their bed, letting them decide what they felt like doing. Jaime flopped down on our bed, spreading his arms.

“Viccc?” I look down at Jaime, and he holds out his arms to me. I grin, raising my eyebrows at him, even though I know what he wants. “Come cuddle?” I cross my arms and let out a huff, pretending I don’t want to. Jaime sits up, a pout on his face. “Fine.” He stands up, playfully shoving me before walking past me, and I watch him go sit down on the couch. I follow his lead, sitting down beside him and cuddling up into his side, putting my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arm around me, and I close my eyes, ignoring the movie Tony and Mike have put on.

“Hey, babe, wake up... we’re here.” Jaime presses his lips to my forehead, trying to wake me as gently as possible, and I let out a groan, stretching my arms out above me. I stretched them to the sides and accidentally hit Jaime. He hit me back softly with a grin. “Come on,” he said, pushing himself up off the couch. He offered his hand to me and I took it, following him out into the comfortable mid-March air. Tony and Mike were already up and out, Jaime and I still groggy from our nap.

“You guys ready for this?” Mike asks, unloading some equipment with the crew.

I smile and nod, Jaime cheerfully shouting a “Hell yes!”

“Holy shit, I forgot how much I missed that!” I smiled, catching the towel a crew member tossed at me. Jaime came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and I quickly shrugged him off. “Eww, Jaime, go away, you’re all sweaty and gross!”

“But so are you Vic! He teased, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“Which is why I’m going to shower,” I turn to Jaime to press a kiss to his lips, then head off to shower.

“With me, I presume?” Jaime winks, landing a slap on my arse. He follows close behind me, and I laugh at him.

“Oh, bug off Jaime,” I say, brushing his hand away the next time he tries to touch me.

Some people do their best thinking in the shower or laying in bed before falling asleep. I am one of those people. I spent my whole time showering thinking and smiling to myself. Quite a long time compared to the other boys, if I may add. I could seriously do it... sure, there might be some risks, like rejection, and it might be a little early, but, I’d say it’s worth it.

Once I was back on the bus, I walked to the bunk, well now bed, area, walking past Jaime who was concentrating on his video games. I propped myself up against the wall with pillows, pulling my Mac onto my lap and opening the lid. Was I actually going to look into this? Yes, yes I was, I decided. I opened Google Chrome to a private browser window, just incase, and began on my search.

[Jaime]

When Vic walked on the bus, he ignored me playing on the xBox. Not that I minded, because I could do without the distraction of Vic while playing. My game was always off with him around, and it was kind of embarrassing, especially when the other guys would notice and tease me about it.

After playing for a while, I got bored, and went to ask Vic if he wanted to do something to pass the time, since I was still too pumped from the show to sleep, and I assumed he would be too. We wouldn’t be leaving until tomorrow, so we could still do something if we wanted, even join Mike and Tony for drinks if we were up to it. I walked over to our bed, where Vic was doing god-knows-what on his Mac. I sat down beside him, causing him to tilt the screen away and soon after shut it entirely. I gave him a curious look, but he just smiled.

“Yes?” He questioned, the smile on his face remaining. He put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into his chest, so I smirked and let myself relax into him.

“We should do something,” I mumble, into his chest more than at him. He smelled good, if a little womanly.

“Well then, let’s do something!” Vic pushed me off him, standing up and clasping his hands together. “Come on, you suggested it, let’s go?” I had flopped down on my side when Vic had gotten up, too lazy to get up immediately.

“Okayyy,” I forced myself up, standing beside Vic.
