Pitch Perfect Harmony

Why Did You Do This?

SNL was a whole bunch of fun. Taylor announced Ice Spice who was really happy to see her too. Travis got to play a little role in a sketch and met many of these people for the first time but Taylor found that he was great at meeting new people. She was more anxious sometimes while he seemed to always find the right words without even thinking about it. It wasn't that she couldn't have a normal conversation, there were just some fears in the back of her mind every now and then. Tonight, she just leaned on Travis talking to a few people with a drink in her hand. It felt great to be able to rely on him and not have to hold up a conversation alone.

They made their way out holding hands again and at this point, it almost felt a little normal. Taylor leaned on Travis' shoulder in the backseat of the car smiling softly. He gave her a kiss on the head still holding her hand. "I love you", he whispered making her smile even more. Taylor turned her head to kiss him. "I love you too", she said continuing to make their lips meet. Her driver had to interrupt them when they entered the parking garage. They both blushed, said thank you, and made their way into her apartment again. After a short sidestep to the bathroom, they went to bed. Travis didn't waste any time pulling her close to his chest again. "We shouldn't get used to this too much. I have to go on tour again soon", she mumbled holding onto him. "I think it's too late for that anyway. I'll miss you", he answered jokingly pressing her against his chest. Taylor giggled pretending to try to get out of his arms. She wouldn't have had a chance even if she had actually been trying. "I'll miss you too", she finally said. "So so much", she added.

They fell asleep eventually but woke up still cuddling. "Wanna make some waffles for breakfast?", Taylor suggested. "I don't think I ever had self-made waffles for breakfast", he admitted already getting up and pulling her up with him. It didn't take Taylor long to get the first waffle going. Travis tried to actively remember the recipe even if he didn't have a waffle maker. He was already planning on getting some baking supplies for his new kitchen when he would move soon. Since he had talked with Taylor about it, a realtor was looking for houses that would be similar to the ones they liked. Hopefully, she would stop thinking that he was only moving because of her.

As if he had called it, his realtor texted him a few hours later. He had some new suggestions for him. "Tay, would you want to look at some houses together? Or should I just do that alone?", he asked her. She looked up from her MacBook hesitantly. "It's yours, you should look alone. You could show me later?", she suggested. "Okay", he agreed not leaving her office without kissing her. Taylor instantly smiled holding him back from leaving only to give him another kiss. "I love you", he mumbled finally and left before she could answer. Travis sat down with his laptop to look through the links he got. He was looking for something bright but not too modern. It had to be safe and he needed space for a little gym area. A pool would be a great addition but not mandatory. One more thing was there though. He wanted to hold an eye out for potentially getting a piano sometime. It probably wouldn't be a grand piano like hers but when she would feel comfortable in his new home, he wanted to get a space for her to write. The guitar he borrowed from a teammate couldn't be the solution.

"Found something?", Taylor entered the living room later. "I'd say so. Do you wanna see? There are two I might wanna check out soon", he explained. "Yeah", Taylor agreed, so he made some space for her on the couch only for her to take his laptop, sit down in his lap, and place the laptop in her own lap. Travis laughed a little putting his arms around her to show her the two houses. Taylor still wasn't sure about the whole thing. She didn't want to be a problem but his home truly wasn't the safest place for her right now and maybe it would be okay for him to move because of that. He did make it feel a little bit like he wanted her to move in though and it scared her to a degree. Wasn't it way too early for that?
