The Show Must Go On (Jaythan)

Breaking the News

Jay's POV

We had decided to tell the boys. It was probably confusing for them, what with knowing Nathan was gay but wondering about me.

So we were all gathered backstage waiting anyway. It gave us something to do.

"Hey boys?" I said, calling them over. Nathan shot me a look of fear. I looked at him reassuringly.

"What's up, Bird?" Max asked.

"Nath and I have an announcement to make."

"Let me guess," Tom said. "You finally hooked up after all these years and are now a couple."

Nathan's jaw visibly dropped. I would have laughed if I wasn't surprised at how correct he was.

Tom just patted Nath on the back. "Great to know you got your feelings sorted out, mate."

"You aren't angry?" I asked.

"Not at all!" Siva replied, smiling. "I'm happy for you!"

Max hugged us as well. "I am fully supportive of you two. Just no night action; I'd rather not imagine what noises you guys make."

I laughed. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Nathan chimed in, grinning. "Well it goes a little something like this." He started moaning and groaning quite rudely.

Siva covered his ears. "I DID NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT!"

We all burst out into laughter.

Onstage, we all had more energy than ever. The fans were absolutely hyped as well. The performance was amazing.

Afterwards, we went to a bar. Nathan sat at the booth with a coke, dejected. "I can't drink in America. It sucks."

"Well at least someone will be able to carry us home!" Max remarked, already laughing.

Nathan made the best of the joke. "We don't do threesomes, sorry mate."

"Ohh!" Tom, Seev and I chorused. We high fives the young member while Max scowled.

Nathan grinned, pleased with himself. "Yeah. Yeah that's right, Max, you got no comeback!"

Max sighed. "I fell into that one, didn't I?"

We all had a great time. I didn't get drunk, but Tom and Max did. We had to drop them off responsibly.

Siva was about to leave us for his room. He was about to go in when he turned around and hugged us both.

"Congratulations, guys," he said. "I'm really happy you found each other."

Nath and I smiled at each other. "Thanks, Seev," I replied.

He clapped me on the back and went to his room.

At our room, Nathan collapsed onto the bed. He was already snoring when I settled in.
