Austin's POV
Eric and I walk to the backstage area and change. I just don't care and he doesn't either. Vince says "so, do you think I need to do anything different?" I say "I think you did great. We can always go out on the stage on our own. We can watch each other if you want? We can just wear socks." Vince says "it would be good if we did a walk through." We put on our normal street clothes and we go back out.

I go out onto the auditorium floor and I say "Jacklyn, can we use the stage for a second?" She says "yeah, sure" and I say "alright, let's go." Vince says "socks make me nervous." I say "the floor is covered in chalk from ballet, you'll be fine." He says "now my socks will be covered in chalk though." I say "good, you can clean up the chalk for me." Vince says "you have a horrible superiority complex."

I say "only for you. Ok, you ready?" I play the song and he says "I didn't consent" going full out for the dance and pausing for my freestyle. I say "this part needs to be sharper. Just isolate a bit more. I know your style is flowy but keep it tight." We keep going and I say "that's a bit too jazzy, we gotta fix that" pausing the song. Vince says "I was thinking the same thing. We don't get jazzier than boy band but that's way past boy band." I chuckle saying "I like boy band. What if we do one of these?"

I show him a whole body movement and he says "wait, what's that afrobeat move you were trying to show me the other day?" I say "you're so smart. It's one two then you bring it around town." Vince chuckles saying "I'm gonna kill you" and I say "shush you love SpongeBob." He says "what did those hot guys on Instagram do? From Space Studios?" I say "they were fine though. Anyway, they had the body roll thing, right?" I do the hand motions with the body roll and he says "that's good. Put me back ten seconds and I'll try both."

I start the song from ten seconds before we were at and he does the move that would go into the moves in question. I say "that could work" then I go back again and he tries the other one. I say "yes! That's the one!" Vince keeps going through the dance and I say "lines there! Be conscious of them!" He gets to the end and the parents are still waiting for their kids, so they clap. Vince says "your turn." I get up there and he hops down saying "ready? Remember the body roll" and he starts the song, me going full out.

He says "hit! Hit! Hit! One! Two! Three! Yes!" I keep going and he says "stomp harder! I wanna hear it next time! Body roll! That's hot! The ladies love it! Dollars will be on the stage floor pretty soon!" I hit every move a bit harder and it's over and Vince says "where's your bounce? Your style changed a bit for this dance than the other one." I say "there's no bounce to be had and the bounce gets the shakes out, you know this. Im also wearing socks, I stayed in place much more than I usually do."

I jump off the stage and we put our shoes on on the auditorium floor. We go over to Eric and Vince's mom who's too busy just flirting with my man. I mean, I get it out of boredom to a certain degree. Vince's mom says "where's your mother, Austin?" I say "she's at home, she'll be here tomorrow." Vince's mom says "will you be here tomorrow, Eric?" Vince says "remember, you're married to my father." She jokingly says "yeah, but I like this one." I giggle saying "this one's mine."

Eric says "my brother will be here tomorrow. You can have fun with him" chuckling and he says "we're bringing Sarah and Emily too. They wanted to see you." I smile saying "ok. I'm ready to go. I'm hungry" and Eric says "let's go then." I say "want to third wheel and go get food with us?" Vince says "sure" chuckling and Eric rubs the back of my neck saying "we can come back for your car later."

Vince and I leave all our stuff here for the actual performance tomorrow. Vince says "we should get McDonald's." I say "nothing like McDonald's after a good sweat" and we get in Eric's car, him opening the door for me. He starts driving and I say "you look tired, baby, what's wrong?" Eric says "Angela is staying at my house and her mom won't stop bugging me and my mother. When my mom is stressed I'm stressed. Then when I'm already stressed on top of the stress by proxy, or whatever, I'm just tired. I can't even think of a word to describe my moms stress makes me stressed."

I say "I can tell based on your limited vocabulary how tired you are, my love." I rub his thigh and I say "my mom doesn't like last minute arrangements but I can arrange for you to stay at my house?" Eric mumbles "I sleep best with you" shifting gears and he yawns. Vince says "I love you two but you make me want to barf." I giggle saying "sorry." He says "it's fine I guess." We go to McDonald's, eat a lot of their supply, then we bring Vince home. Eric and I get to my house and I say "go to my room, babe. I'm talking to my mom."

Eric nods and goes to my room. My mom says "you're asking if he can stay aren't you?" I say "yeah, homes overwhelming him. He's overtired and he needs me" quietly and mom says "I can't say no to him, of course he can stay. He's also staying tomorrow night?" I nod saying "yeah" and I go to my room. I sit against the head board on my side of the bed and Eric moves his head to my lap. He sighs shakily and I rub my fingers through his hair. 

I mumble "I love you, baby." Eric mumbles "I love you too" burying his face in between my thighs. I rub his back and his neck gently until I feel his breathing on my thighs even out. I carry on massaging his neck and his back, occasionally brushing my fingers through his hair. I quietly say "my baby's had a long week, huh?" Eric shifts in his sleep making me smile and I just make him feel comfortable.
