Reach For The Stars (Dallas Liu & Ian Ousley)

Star's POV

Dallas, Ian, and I were back at the hotel showered and in our pj's trying to choose what movie to watch as we did face masks.

"Dallas! Oh my god, we can always count on you to say something wild." I laugh.

"What, what do you mean?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend seriously." I respond as I apply a face mask on Ian.

"Hey! I was just trying to save Ian because he didn't even respond."

"I was just taken back because how does a nice gesture resort to romance?!" Ian defends himself.

"I still think my answer was better than no answer." Dallas smirks.

"Wipe that smirk off your face." I lightly shove him.

"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. So what movie should we watch?"

"Any suggestions?" I look over to Ian.

"Let's watch a scary movie!"

"Do you want me to have nightmares?" I ask

"Yes." Dallas bluntly says.

"Bitch." I say. "Go get us some popcorn." I start shoving him out of the bed.

We take the face masks off and I climb back into the massive bed that both Ian and Dallas were sharing.

"Fine we'll watch a scary movie. But I have to be in the middle." I tell them.

"You're such a scaredy cat." Dallas says booping my nose.

Ian requested the movie Tusk because he's never seen it before and I should've known when I heard Dallas laugh about it that I was going to be horrified.

"What is this. I hate it." I say covering my face with the blanket.

"This is fucked up." Ian says.

I put the blanket over me and even if I wasn't watching the screen the audio was scaring me.

"What are you doing?" Dallas joins me under the blanket.

"You are so mean for not giving us a warning."

"Hussssh please." Ian whines.

"Are you really that scared?" He asks me and I nod my head in response. "Do you want to sleep with us tonight?"

"Yes." I continue to shake my head.

"Well that's too bad."

"Dallas! This is literally all on you."

"Technically, it's on Ian."

"You guys are we watching a movie or chit chatting?" Ian sasses us.

"You know what you're right." I agree with Dallas. I take the blanket over us and turn to Ian.

I observe of how concentrated he is over the movie. I can't even tell if he's intrigued or disgusted.

"Now that I'm thinking about it Ian, you would be good in a horror movie." I say.

"What?" He turns to me.

"You have such a good horror movie face."

"What does that mean Star." He laughs.

"I mean this in the best way possible but your face sometimes gives evil."

"Are you insulting him?" Dallas joins in.

"No! Ian I swear! It's a good thing, your agent needs to get you booked in a horror movie just trust me." I laugh.

We all burst in laughter.

"I don't want this to end." Ian sighs.

"Me neither, I missed you guys." I frown. "Tour sometimes feel lonely."

"Hey, I promise we will be there in L.A" Dallas assures me. "Once we're both done with our stuff we will plan a trip together."

Although we are all very good at taking care of each other, Dallas always felt like our protector. He's very good at making sure we are okay. If there is anything we need no matter how little or small we know we can count on him. He makes me feel heard.

"That sounds good." Both Ian and I agree.

"We should probably get some sleep." Ian suggests causing me to yawn.

"Okay the bed is big enough for the three of us I better not feel anyone kicking." Dallas says.

"Kick hard as I can? Okay got it." I say as I get comfortable.

"haha very funny."

I woke up to the smell of food and coffee. Ian was no where to be found but Dallas was still in bed.

"Hey sleepy head." I shake him.

"mmm, is it time?" His croaky morning voice escapes his lips.

"Unfortunately." I yawned.

"Is that food I smell?"

"Yeah, Ian."

"What a babe." He softly chuckles.

After brushing our teeth we make our way to the living room.

"Good morning Ian."

"Good morning cuties." He says. "I woke up and went out to get us some breakfast."

"That's so kind of you thank you." I say taking a seat.

We have our breakfast and I change to go to the airport.

I insisted that they didn't have to take me to the airport, they could use some rest but they weren't changing their minds.

We were in the car heading towards the airport and I sat between the boys. Ian laid his head on me while Dallas softly ran his fingers through my hair. I was soaking in these last couple of minutes.

As we arrived to the airport Dallas opened the door and let me out. Whispers and stares started to form.

"Ian, why don't you walk in with Star while I grab her bag? I'll be in shortly." Dallas says.

Slowly a crowd began to follow us. I hope Dallas is able to find us.

A fan came up to us and asked for a picture and as much as I wanted to say yes, once I agree to one person then everyone will expect one too. I offered a hug instead and hoped they understood.

At this point we were surrounded by fans and I began to get anxious as the space around me began to feel small. I held onto Ian and tried to slow my breathing down. Luckily security reached us and asked us to follow them.

"What about Dallas?" I ask Ian.

"Your friend is waiting for you already." The officer tells us. "Because of safety risks we can't have you guys freely roaming around we will be providing a private lounge for you guys before your flight boards." One of them explains.

"Oh it seems like you guys can wait with me if you want." I tell Ian and he smiles.

We get brought into the lounge and I see Dallas there with three bags.

"Wait a minute, three bags?" I'm confused.

"We're going to New York with you." Dallas says.

"Surprise!" Ian grins.
