[A/N: That's a cute little sketch I did of all of them (Michael, Gavin, Lindsay, and Jeremy) laying down in the last chapter before Michael took the picture of them.]

It was now seven twenty-five. Gavin and I were supposed to go on in five minutes. A volunteer was putting wireless microphones on us so the whole crowd could hear us. Three-thousand people were going to be there, cheering us on. "We need you guys out on stage now," Geoff said saluting us off. We nodded and headed for the door. Gavin slipped his hand into mine as we walked out. We ran out, holding up our intertwined hands. People screamed, cheering us on. "Hey guys!" Gavin smiled, waving at the crowd. "How are you all doing?" I greeted. I heard lots of goods and greats. "So before we get on with all the game playing Geoff wrote us out for a little Q and A," I explained. Gavin nodded and smiled. "So uh yeah. Let's get on with it! I'll have some of the volunteers run out with mics." The volunteers nodded at me and started running around. A little girl, red hair wearing a tower of pimps shirt waved at us and got handed the microphone, "Hey guys! I'm Kali. I uh- I wanted to ask you a question about um- About the depression, Michael. If that's alright. Like how're doing?" She smiled a very comforting smile. I smiled back, "Yeah, I'm doing fine. A lot better actually. Um I stopped the cutting and the uh- the attempts. Thanks to Gavin, though." Gavin squeezed my hand. The girl smiled again and the volunteer moved on.

"Hi! I'm Marie! Do you guys have any cute nicknames for each other that we don't hear on camera?" A girl from way in the back asked. Gavin answered this one, "We do! I call Micoo my love, of course, and h-" "I call him hubby," I interrupted. The entire audience awwwed at my answer. Another person was moved on to. "Hey, my name's Jake. I was just wandering what happens after the cameras are turned off. Like what happened when y'all go home. Do you still play video games and hang out with family, like your brothers and stuff?" When he mentioned brothers, I froze. Anthony was in the hospital near Austin by now and I was halfway across the country. Gavin put his hand over his microphone and leaned over to me, "Are you okay?" I couldn't really answer him. Gavin turned back to the audience and took his hand off his microphone, "Yeah, we still play video games all the time and watch movies and stuff. Sometimes we'll all go out for lunch. And whenever our families are in town, which isn't a lot, we hang out with them." They moved on to another person, "Hey, Michael. I just wanted to point out we're name twins before I get to my question. What's your favorite Achievement Hunter to play GTA with?" Gavin had to flick me in the arm so I would focus again. "Uh, probably Jeremy." Gavin whined. I chuckled, "Jeremy doesn't whine all the time and get me killed." I heard a few laughs from the crowd.

We finished doing that segment after a couple more questions and went in to do a heist with the rest of the Achievement Hunters. The rest of the day was pretty much a blur. I kept thinking about Anthony. Gavin would plant a kiss on my cheek every now and then to bring me back into focus. It was fun to get out of the office and see all these amazing fans. We all ended the show by stepping in front of the desk and bowed. The people in the audience cheered and clapped for us. After we cleared out the theatre, we packed up everything and went back to our hotels. I immediately fell down on the bed when we got back. Gavin, who carried the jackets and my backpack back here, tossed them aside and sat down on the bed next to me. He patted his legs and I crawled over and curled up in his lap. He pet my hair and intertwined our hands, "I'm proud of you, love." I squeezed his hand. "Do you want to go home early?" Gavin asked, playing with my curls. I didn't answer because he pretty much knew my answer already. "I'll tell the guys and get us a flight back for tomorrow," Gavin squeezed my hand and snatched his phone off the bed next to him. I maneuvered myself so I could pull the blankets over us. I heard that little noise iPhones make when some one is typing on them. I guessed Gavin was looking up fights. I took my phone out of my pocket and decided to post that picture I took this morning to Twitter. 

Gavin set his phone down and I handed him mine to set down as well. I got off him and put on some pajamas. Gavin put on his as well. Gavin pressed his lips against mine for a second. I growled at him and did the same and somehow it became a competition. We were trying to see who could kiss better without knowing that's what we were doing. Somehow we ended up on our bed, shirts off, me on top of Gavin. Then we heard a shuffle in the next room and stopped. "Oh shit I totally forgot Jeremy was over there," Gavin chuckled. "Yeah, we probably shouldn't just for his sake," I kiss him and rolled over so I was laying on his right side. Gavin got up and turned off the lights before coming over and cuddling up next to me. "Hey what time even is it?" I asked, flipping my pillow over to the cold side. "Uhh," Gavin reached over to the nightstand and checked his phone, "One in the morning." I yawned, "Oh man I'm so fucking tired." Gavin kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Go to sleep, love. We can go home tomorrow," Gavin cooed. I smiled, "Goodnight, hubby. I love you so much." "I love you so much more."

[A/N: While writing this, I jokingly wrote about the TND shirts. Then Gus tweeted a Behind the Scenes picture and Michael and Gavin are actually wearing their TND shirts! Hope you guys liked this chapter! Sorry it was a little late. And no, I didn't actually go to Let's Play Live and the part where Gav and Michael go up together was just fictional. If any of you did go, tell me how it went in the comments!]
