The Reckless and the Brave

Backseat Serenade

*Kayak's POV*

I listened for the door, waiting for Zack, Rian and Lyla to come in. Thoughts from the day poured in, all leading me back to the gorgeous face of my best friends brother. Alex. I sighed out loud thinking of his smiling eyes. Why did he have to be so cute? I just wanted to crawl into his bunk and cuddle him and kiss him and touch him and- my thoughts were interrupted by Rian's muffled 'goodnights'.

The door finally closed and I heard his footsteps shuffling to his bunk. It was silent again in a matter of minutes. Turning on my side, I tried to fall asleep. Oh Alex, you're keeping me from closing my sleepy eyes. When I could bear it no longer, I grabbed my phone and sent him a text: can't sleep :~( up for a walk?

He replied within seconds: of course :* meet me outside of the bus in 5?

I smiled and typed in a quick 'see ya soon:*' and tried my best to silently find my belongings, as well as my courage. As my Chelsea Grin sweater found its way over my head, my feet slipped into a pair of black Vans and I clambered out of my bunk. On the way out, I saw my beanie on the table and pulled it over my ears, vaguely wondering how it got there, considering I hadn't worn it yet.

Alex waited outside of the bus and smiled as I walked out. He wore a glamour kills jacket and a pair of Pokemon PJ bottoms, complete with a beanie. Ugh he was so cute. He took my hand and began to walk with me down a pathway that veered off to our right. "You look good" I could practically hear Alex grinning and I vaguely wondered if I should have changed out of my black booty shorts.

"Ditto" I giggled. "So have you seen Zack and Lyla? I didn't hear them come in" I asked, making small talk. Alex thought about it for a moment when he suddenly pulled me closer. "What are-" Alex shushed me. And looked directly ahead. Following his gaze I saw a man carrying someone princess style. It looked a little scary at first, but then it hit me.

"Zack?" I called out quietly. His face came into view. "What's up?" He whispered.

"Is Lyla okay?" I questioned him, looking at her limp body in his arms. "She's fine, she just passed out" he whispered back.

"Aw dude! Did you get some?" Alex asked enthusiastically. I already knew Zack was blushing and weather he did or not, I felt his awkwardness. "Alex!" I hit his arm and turned back to Zack.

"We're going for a little walk. We'll be back soon" I told Zack. He informed us that there was a little pond and a gazebo near by and walked back to the bus. I hoped in my head that Lyla and Zack would date, just because they would be such a cute couple. Alex and I continued walking in silence until we found the little pond Zack had mentioned.

The area was breathtakingly beautiful, making me gasp in awe. Alex wrapped his arms around my waist and began rocking us slowly back and forth, humming a familiar melody. It was I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Deathcab For Cutie.

"How did you know this is my favorite song?" I whispered in his ear. He kissed me on the cheek. "Remember when Jack and my sister went to the store and it was just us?" He asked. I blushed at the memory and nodded. "I remember you said that was your favorite song" Alex twirled me around and pulled me into his chest.

I inhaled his scent, savoring every second. We remained like that for a while. Finally, I looked up at him. His eyes were dancing and he looked magnificent. I kisses him passionately and realized something: I think I've fallen in love with Alex Gaskarth.

*Jack's POV*

The next day we had was a day off, which was fortunate because Lyla had to go home and pack. Zack went with her which left me and Kodes, Kayak, Alex and Rian. Then Rian decided he wanted to go get some breakfast, which apparently sounded good to Alex and Kayak because they followed him, leaving only me and Dekoda. I sat down on the couch and she sat down on my lap and nuzzled against my chest.

"You having fun so far, Kodes?" I asked, rubbing her back. "More fun than before" she replied with a smile.

"Why?" I turned on the TV and lazily flipped through the channels.

"Because all the other times I wasn't dating you" she kissed me lightly and started to get up. I pulled her back down and kissed her again. "Where do you think you're going?" I asked her through kisses. "I was um, going to get dressed" she murmured. "Do you need any help?" I asked, making a trail of kisses down her neck. "Jack" she groaned, digging her nails into my shoulders.

"Hmm?" I kissed and nibbled at her collar bone. She grabbed my face and kissed me hungrily, grabbing my shirt and forcing me to get up off the couch. "Back room" she breathed, wrapping her legs around me. I sat down on the edge of the mattress and began to undress Dekoda.

I pulled her ATL tank top off to reveal her black bra. My shirt was next and then she pushed me onto my back, crawling over me slowly. Her pajama shorts had disappeared, leaving her only in her undergarments. Her light ivory skin was smooth and her tattoos just made her even hotter. She kisses me and one thing briefly flashed through my head: I'd better hope to god Alex doesn't find out.
