The (Shipped) Gold Standard

Chapter 6: Saturday

(The chapter titles have nothing to do with the chapter. And check out my other fics. Thanks.)

(Pete's POV)

Today tour starts and we are running around heading to the bus. Not only does tour start today but its my birthday. Patrick was making sure I felt special. The wedding is after the tour ends and tour is going to be amazing.

This year its all guys on the tour. I miss Lillian already but I have to refrain from calling Bren.

"Babe, relax. She's fine. Just focus on tour and your special day." Patrick tries to reassure me but I still felt weird.

"I can't help it. We're in Chicago. When does soundcheck start?"

Joe seems worried also but it didn't really bother me. "In half an hour and guys tour is going to be amazing and fun."

He's right. Tour is always a blast and its been crazy. We have always been really close friends since the band started. Its been fourteen years since we started recording music and ten years since we made it big.

Ever since From Under the Cork Tree came out, I've had feelings for Patrick. Its a lot easier for him to know that now that we've been engaged for a while.

(Brendon's POV)

"Guys its tour day!" I smile at my closest friends before I realising that I have to be careful of Lilly.

"Thank you so much for doing this!" Patrick tells me, handing me a list of Lilly's habits.

"You're welcome." I shout as Patrick leaves.

I look at Ryan and smile. "Our test run to see if we'll be great dads."

He smiles and takes Lilly carefully holding her. "I know you want to adopt and I do too. I told you that when they get back from tour we'll tell them."

I smile and wrap my arms around my boyfriend. "Yay! Do you want to watch a movie?"

"Usually when you suggest that we always end up doing something else."

I whisper in his ear. "That may be but you love it."

He blushes and I know the look he is giving me. "We have Lilly to take care of."

"Don't give me that look. I was joking."

"Didn't sound like it."

"I love you Ryan Ross."

"I love you too, Brendon Urie."

I look at Lilly and realize that she is asleep.

(Gerard's POV)

So while Andy, Joe, Pete, and Patrick are on tour, Brendon is taking care of Lilly, me and Frank are spending time together. I just am so glad that everyone is happy.

"Babe, did you check your messages?" Frank asked me.

"Yeah. They left a few hours ago. Pete says to check in on Bren and Ry a couple times a day."

"They're that worried he's going to do something stupid?"

"Frank, this is Bren we're talking about. Oh, Mikey texted me and said we should meet him and Ray for lunch today."

"Yeah you're right. And yeah we should."

"Is it weird that Ray is going to be related to me?"

"This will be an interesting day. We should check in on Bren before we go."

"Yeah we should." I go to get changed.

(Andy's POV)

First day of tour and everything has been insane. Pete and Patrick never leave each other's side. Ever since Pete proposed to Patrick they've always been together. They were like that even when they were just best friends.

"Would you two knock it off." I tell them because I'm sick of them always making out.

"You and Joe aren't any better." Pete says before tackling me.

"Pete get off of me." I say trying to push him off me.

Pete gets off of me. "I missed this."

I get up off the floor. "Of course you did. Asshole."

Patrick looks at me. "He's my asshole."

"Of course he is." I say sitting next to Joe.

Joe sighs. "Really you two?"

"That's typical us. I missed this though. Its nice that its just the four of us." Patrick says.

"I did too." Pete says with Patrick sitting on top of him.

"So, the wedding is when we get back?" Joe asks.

Pete smiles. "Yes it is."

Patrick looks at his ring. "Its too long of a wait but yeah."

I sigh and look at Joe. "I can't believe that the four of us got lucky to be friends. And not just friends but like brothers."

(Joe's POV)

"Brothers at least Pete and Patrick are like that to us." I say.

Andy smiles. "Yeah. And you're my husband."

I smile and kiss him. "Yes I am."

Pete looks at us and sighs. "And me and Patrick are engaged."

Patrick smiles. "Yes. And I'm so happy that we are."

We get off the bus and go to the venue for soundcheck. It was a very weird soundcheck.

(Patrick's POV)

First day of tour and its in Chicago. The concert will be me and Pete's first concert where we can flirt with each other without getting caught. I'm a little too excited. At soundcheck I kept winking at Pete which made him a little too excited, and not for the concert.

"Babe, you are so mean." He tells me after soundcheck.

"If you thought that was mean, then just wait for the concert." I wink at him.

"I love you." He tells me before kissing me.

We kissed until someone cleared his throat.

"I would appreciate if you guys didn't do that in front of us." Andy says.

"Sorry, Andy. But you guys do that to us all the time." Pete states.

"Just get ready for our show." Joe says before taking Andy's hand and walking towards the bus.

"Its going to be a long tour." I say before kissing Pete and then dragging him to one of our dressing rooms. Which is basically where we had a long make-out session.

"You keep being amazing." Pete whispers to me.
