"Did you see the crowd?" Calvin wondered in ecstasy. "There are so many people that came to actually listen to us."
Mike stood up quickly, and ran into the stage; he sneaked his head out of the big black curtains and widened his eyes.
That was a lot of people, that was for sure.
"Holy shit," he screamed as he put his head back inside. He ran again, back where the guys were.
"I don't think I can get through this." he announced to his bandmates.
"You'll be fine babe." Ashton said to comfort him.
Mike just smiled softly to him, even though he noticed his hands were a little shaky.
"Hey, are you okay Ash?" he asked while going closer to him.
"Sure," he started. "Just a bit of nervous. That's all." Ashton replied, with his cheeks turning red from his anxiety.
"You'll be amazing, I know that." Mike told him with a big smile, making Ashton chuckle.
"We'll be amazing." Ashton corrected him.
They both took advantage of that moment, to kiss each other's lips. Ashton took Mike's hands, and intertwined his finger with his, while they were still kissing.
"Hey there lovebirds," Calvin's voice made the boys stop suddenly and look at him, both blushing.
Calvin couldn't hold back a giggle. "We play in five, just saying." he informed them.
Mike nodded at him, while Ashton curled his head next to Mike's neck as if he was trying to hide.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Mike asked Ashton with a smile.
"Do we make them feel uncomfortable?" Ashton whispered so only Mike would hear him.
Mike gave him a serious look, "Of course not, Ash. Don't worry. You know they support us." he reassured him.
Ashton just nodded because he didn't know what else to say.
"Look, I'd love to stay more minutes alone with you, but we gotta get out and own that stage." Mike said decisively.
Ashton chuckled to his boyfriend and followed him to the stage with his other bandmates.
Thoughts couldn't get out of his head, though.
Did they really support his relationship with Mike?
He had that feeling that Lucas didn't really like him. Even though he always seemed to be friendly with him, it was like Ashton's mind was telling him the opposite. Like they would always judge him.
He tried to let these thoughts go away. But, he couldn't. They would always come back.
Ashton tried to remind himself that they were good guys, and as Mike had told him, they supported them.
And who knows? Maybe someday, they would be really good friends. They would play their music all around the world, and never have doubts about himself ever again.
And he would still love Mike more than anything.
