The Mansion { A Banana Bus Squad Story }

Chapter Five

Evan's POV

I wake up to find Jon lying next to me. He's hugging his pillow and snoring softly, his blue shirt has ridden up his torso sometime through the night, giving me a delicious eye fill. Frankly, it's adorable yet hot.

I get up, grab my clothes, and head to the bathroom for a shower. I jump back as cold water comes pouring out of the taps. Once the water heats up, I get in and have a quick shower, letting my mind wander. A couple of minutes after I get out of the shower and get ready for the day, I hear noise coming from the room. I peer out of the door, to see Jon's suitcase contents flung out across the room. His shirts are spread across the bed in an untidy manner, with the rest of his belongings dumped on the floor in a heap. His face is twisted with confusion and annoyance. I lean against the bathroom door frame.

"Looking for something?" I ask, amused. He scoffs at me.

"Funnily enough, I am." He replies, I chuckle a bit before he continues. "I'm looking for my t-shirt,"

I see a small blue thing in the corner, it must be his shirt. I walk over and pick it up to display it to him.

"Is it this one?" He blushes, then nods. Typical Jonathan. 

"Where did you find it?" He asks, cocking his head slightly. I point to the corner. I go downstairs, not before knocking on everyone's door. Everyone eventually gets up, although we had to drag some people out of their beds *cough* Tyler *cough*, but never mind that.

*

We travel to the fan meet up, and everyone splits into little groups. I go off with Tyler. We have lots of people come up to us, asking for autographs and photos. One of them asked Tyler to a 'puncake'. Tyler sounds tired throughout the whole meet. I was confused at first, but then I saw him sneaking glances at Craig and Brian. 

"Tyler, are you ok? Be honest." I ask him once all of the fans left, putting a hand on his shoulder. He sighs and slouches over.

"N-no, I'm just- I can't, it's hard to explain." He says after a few seconds. I pull a sad smile, unsure of what to do or say.

"If it helps, I don't think they will last long, they have no chemistry."

Brian's POV

After the fan meet up we head out for lunch at a small restaurant and we all sit around and talk. 

"Hey guys, you know that travelling fair that's just down the road? Why don't we go there for the rest of the day?" Marcel suggests. Everyone agrees, so before I know it, we're pulling into the fair's parking lot. 

We all go on a roller coaster Lui picked out called "Nightmare". Craig and I sit together at the second row, with Nogla and Lui in front of us. The ride lasted about one minute because it was moving so slow. We get off the ride, unimpressed.

"That wasn't even scary." Craig says, rolling his eyes. I sling an arm over his shoulder.

"Yes it was!" Lui screams in his squeaker voice.

"Aw, who needs a hug?" Nogla coos. 

"Shut up Nogla!" Lui shouts, but after he gives himself into Nogla's arms.

We mess around for the rest of the day, until sunset.

"You know what we haven't checked out yet? The ferris wheel! Let's go!" Jon suggests.

We go to the base of the ferris wheel. It's a huge one, standing at roughly 100 meters tall. We all get separate compartments. Jon and Evan, Lui and Nogla, Craig and I, then Tyler, Brock and Marcel.

Brock's POV

"Hey can I tell you two something?" I ask, my hands are shaking from the nerves. We are already 20 or so meters in the air, but I'm not nervous about that. They both nod, their attention is now focused on me, not on Nogla and Lui cooing and kissing above us.

"Ok," I take a breath, "I like Brian but he's going out with Craig and I don't know what to do!" I rush out. 

"Ok, well, I'm into Craig, so what if we work together so they aren't into each other anymore?" Tyler replies. 

"I don't know, I don't want to split up our group for my own selfish reasons." I reply.

"Why don't you make them jealous? I've seen how they act around each other. This sort of relationship burns hard and fast. It never lasts." Marcel suggests, it's the first thing he's said since we got on the ferris wheel. Tyler and I think about that.

"Do we have to act like a couple?" Tyler asks.

"No, just create sexual tension between the two of you. You know, thigh touches, eye contact. And make it obvious! Also, Brock can talk Tyler up to Craig and vice versa! It's mostly foolproof! " Marcel says, flinging his hands around for effect. I smile.

"That's a...great idea!" I say, my smile widening. Now our plan is underway.

Evan's POV

Jon has his back facing me, he's looking out to the horizon, the vast, blue sea. His fluffy brown hair sways in the gentle breeze. I really want to say something to him, we've been in a peaceful silence this whole ride. Without knowing in, my hand reaches out to touch his shoulder, I quickly pull it back. Should I ask him if he wants to do something later?

I tap his shoulder.

No!

He turns around, a soft smile on his face.

"Enjoying the view?" He says, gesturing to the horizon with the setting sun. Pinks and purples and oranges blend together to make a glorious sight, but nothing is more glorious than the way Jonathan looks right now. He is pure. He is the sun.

"Yeah, it's stunning." I say, breathless. He turns to face me. We stare at each other, and then I realise I haven't taken my hand from his shoulder. I squeeze his shoulder, before taking it away.

"You shouldn't cover your face, you are radiant." I say, gazing at him. He smiles at me, and puts his hand in mine. We enter that comfortable silence again, and I don't care this time. We're in bliss.
