Ike POV|

We all walked to the main convention room. There were a BUNCH of people waiting at our table. Y/n stood at his table, chatting with the people buying stuff from him. I looked at my long line. 

the first person came up, shaking in her boots. "Hi, Mr Ike.. uhm.. we studied your book for English class! my peers are behind me. Can I have your autograph?" she asked me. I gave her a smile and a nod. She gave me her book. I signed it. 

After a while, we all got through the long lines of our readers. 

It was the end of the day too! We will be back tomorrow to sell more. The agents took us to the backstage area again. Mandy got our attention. "Good job today, guys!" she gave us a gentle smile. Cally and Rinn nodded too. "We will be bringing you, boys, for drinks! I know Kenny and Y/n don't drink but I feel we should celebrate!" Mandy spoke again. 

"We want to celebrate with just you guys, but if your friends or family have something planned for you, we can celebrate tomorrow!" Rinn added. I could tell Y/n didn't know if Mysta had anything planned. we were all in a foreign country so it is possible that Mysta or Vox had something planned. We looked over at our friends. 

Rinn, Cally and Mandy were talking to Kenny, Matt and their families. 

We walked over to the boys. Luca and Shu were smiling. Mysta and Vox had a hyper feel to them. "We have an idea. We can go for food now then you two can go drinking with your agents" Vox smiled. We nodded. "We can have a party in one of our rooms!" Mysta piped up. Shu rubbed the back of his head. "a... quiet party..." he said, wanting to keep the peace for the other people in the hotel. 

We nodded again. Cally came over. "So, the verdict?" she said with a grin. Y/n repeated what Vox said. Cally nodded. "Rinn, Mandy and I will let you know what time you guys should be in the hotel lobby, okay?" we nodded, AGAIN. Cally waved. We waved back. 
Subconsciously, I took y/n's hand and squeezed it to get his attention. He looked up at me.
He had this glint in his eyes that made him look innocent, and a slight blush that was covering his face because of the heat on stage and in the convention room made him look like he had been in the sun for a little too long. 

The dimmed light of the backstage room gave it a vintage feel. I felt my heart pounding very hard. My face was burning from the bridge of my nose to my ears. "Let's go, ikey~!" His cheerful voice filled my ears. I nodded and allowed him to pull me along. His hands were very soft. His face was filled with a deeper blush than before. We followed the rest of luxiem. Once outside, Vox and Luca called two taxis. Y/n, Vox and Mysta in one. Me, Luca and Shu in the other. I had to drop his hand, making it feel heavy and empty. 

Vox glanced over at me and smirked. I gave him a look. I read Vox like a book. Vox could tell I was falling for y/n after 3 weeks of knowing them. He gave me a knowing look. I gave him a look of "Shut up, please and thank you" He gave a slight nod. I looked at y/n again. His hair fell in front of his face cutely. The outside light of the summer evening gave him a golden look. I couldn't stop admiring him. I didn't stare directly. It was out of the corner of my eye. 

His clothes fitted him well. He had a naturally small stature, unlike his brother. The way his belt hung around his waist carefully. I looked up and there were the taxis. we got in Luca was talking to the driver excitedly. Shu, who was sitting between me and Luca, looked over at me. "Are you okay, Ike?" he asked quietly. I looked at him. "Yeah, I'm fine" Was I fine? 

My heart would beat so fast when I thought about Y/n. "Are you? You can be very obvious sometimes." He was right. Damn. "C-Can we talk about this later, at the 'party'? I trust you, so don't tell anyone" I looked at him. Shu nodded. I went onto Twitter. Y/n's most recent post came up.

I had a great time on stage at The Writers Lounge. Here is a new good post from me!
Book 2 is in the works >;)

He attached a picture of him facing the convention. My heart skipped a beat. Do I like Y/n? He seems nice but... what if he is... no... I doubt it, He is so similar to Mysta. I came off Twitter for a bit and watched the building zoom past. When we got to the place, I got out first. Luca and Shu had a mini-argument over who would pay. Shu paid and I sent him the money for my part of the ride. We arrived first. 

I noticed the scenic view. I took a picture of it. We waited outside. I heard two familiar voices. Mysta was talking so quickly that it was a blur what he said. Y/n was silently watching them as if he was watching his parents argue. My heart started beating quickly again. I got butterflies. He noticed me and smiled. We all went in and were shown to a table. Due to Luca and Shu working closely with this place, we got a VIP table. 

They sat in pairs. Shu beside Luca, Mysta across from Vox. I sat beside Vox and Y/n, across from Luca. Mysta and Y/n immediately got awkward. Luca, Shu and Vox tried to engage us all in a conversation. I glanced at Mysta and Y/n. I realized that they were both extremely introverted. Mysta had always been shy but Y/n seemed confident to me. The way he was able to speak on stage told me that he was extroverted. 

The waiter came and gave us menus. I knew I would feel slightly awkward. I noticed that the menu had options for everyone! I decided on something basic. Mysta told Vox his order. Y/n didn't know what to do. I tapped his arm gently. "I can swap seats with you if you would like" 

He immediately started stumbling on his words in an attempt to get me to stay where I was, that it was okay. Mysta noticed. "Ike, I'm sorry about this, do you mind telling the waiter his order? He feels bad asking you to swap seats and he has a hard time making his voice heard by the waiter" Mysta asked gently. I nodded. "Of course, I don't mind!" I replied. "Thank you, Ike!" Mysta exclaimed. 

Y/n glanced at me. I smiled gently. I leaned over and whispered "I don't bite, you can talk to me." I gave him a gentle pat on the arm. He had blush covering his face again. This is the quietest he's ever been. He whispered his order to me. The waiter came and we ordered and ate our food.

It was great! We split the bill 6 ways and went back to the hotel.
