Pitch Perfect Harmony

Big Game Preps

Travis was the first one to wake up the next day. He had to leave pretty soon and he also wouldn't be around till the next day because the next day was a game day and he was supposed to be with his team, not his girlfriend. But they could have breakfast together, so he carefully woke her up. "Mhh...", she mumbled not willing to open her eyes already. "Good morning, Allie", he smiled making her grin and blush immediately. She wasn't awake enough to think of that but now that he had said it, she remembered the new nickname he had come up with. "It feels like you're talking to someone else but also like you're talking to... like private me, you know?", she mumbled tiredly cuddling up to him closer. Travis chuckled letting himself fall on his back and pulling her on top of himself. She rested her head on her hands looking at him with a smile. "Do you still wanna come to the game tomorrow? You've had a lot going on the past few days", he asked stroking up and down her back. "Of course, I'll come! I'm not gonna watch you play from the living room when I have plenty of time scheduled to be there", Taylor immediately said squishing his cheeks playfully making him laugh. "Let's go eat something and check in with Tree before I leave, hm? I wanna know what she could do", he suggested watching her smile fade at the thought of these AI pictures. But she agreed rolling off of him and going to the bathroom.

They sat down with breakfast soon and Travis was very relieved when she just ate as if nothing ever happened. Maybe it hasn't been a return of her eating disorder the day before and just the general situation. He decided to not comment on that and just enjoy his food too. "Do you think Tree could do anything?", Taylor asked doubtfully looking up from her now empty plate. "If someone is able to work something out then it's Tree", he said. So they called Taylor's publicist after breakfast and she told them what she had worked out with Twitter. The pictures would be online forever. That was just the nature of the internet but at least noone could find them on Twitter that easily anymore.

"Can I leave and you'll be okay?", Travis asked after the call. "You don't even have a choice", she noted with a small smile. She liked that he still asked. "If you really need me here, I'll stay by your side. I've told you that before. No game is important enough to justify not being there for you", he made it clear once more. "But I'll be okay", she said. "Good. Don't hesitate to call me whenever you need to okay? If I don't pick up, I'll call you back as soon as I can", he tried to plan a little. "Trav, we've been apart for longer than a day before. Don't worry about me, just focus and win the game tomorrow to get the title again this year. I'll be there to celebrate", she assured him again. "Okay", he sighed pulling her into a hug. "I miss you already", he whispered making her smile again. He always was kinda clingy before one of them had to leave and she loved it because otherwise, she would be the one wanting to cuddle all the time.

They ended up leaving around the same time because Taylor had to leave for the gym. Her trainer had arrived yesterday. They would have a three-and-a-half-hour session today, the next day, Taylor would have one on her own before leaving for the game in Maryland, and from that day on, she'd have either long training sessions or actual practices for the whole show until she would leave for the Asian and Australian leg of the tour soon. She knew she had to work hard to get back in top form, so she could still mess around and have fun on stage from the first show on but it was okay. The rest had been necessary too and it wasn't like she hadn't been working out at all. Working out at home or the gym was just different than practicing the actual show.

There was something else she was worried about more. If the Cheifs would play the Super Bowl this year, she'd probably not be able to get there and watch it. Her show in Japan ended not long before the game would start. And it was a long way to go from Tokyo to Las Vegas. She didn't care about jet lag or any of that but it would be the most important game for Travis since she was with him. Of course, she'd want to be there. To celebrate or to console. So when Taylor came back from her training today, she had a call with Tree and some others from her business team to try and plan how she could get to the Super Bowl in time. Taylor had thought, some of her people would be annoyed having to plan such a stressful thing just so she could be with her lover but everyone was supportive and tried to work it out. In the end, they had a plan. Nothing was booked yet but Tree would only have to make one call if the Chiefs would win the next game.

"You need to win tomorrow! We figured out how to get me to the Super Bowl!", Taylor texted Travis in the evening. He had just entered his hotel room, so he called her. "You said you couldn't make it", he said confused. "Well, I can. It's gonna be close but not impossible. So you have to win tomorrow! I wanna see you play the big game! Actually, I wanna see you win that too!", Taylor told him excitedly. "No pressure", he joked chuckling a little. "Trav, you know it ultimately doesn't matter but don't you see this perfect little fantasy?", she asked. "Of course I do. You wanna show the school that you got the coolest and best football boy", he joked making her blush. He caught her there a little bit. "I'll win for you, baby", he continued grinning widely. He was fairly confident that they could really do it again this year. "I love you", she just answered imagining his face right now. "I love you too", he answered before they continued to talk for a while until they had to go to bed.
