Haunted

Come On

"Is this really all the stuff you brought?" Brent asked as he and Maddox carried Maddox's bags onto the tour bus. Brent's band had started their tour a week earlier and Maddox had just flown out to meet him after his photoshoot.

"Yes, I only get to stay two weeks," Maddox sighed, looking around the bus. "So where do you want me to put it?"

"Anywhere you want," Brent grinned and leaned in to kiss him.

"I meant my stuff," Maddox laughed.

"Right," Brent kissed him again. "Well, we have a hotel room tonight so it doesn't really matter. Will you please just drop your bags and kiss me already?"

"I've been kissing you since I got off the plane," Maddox pointed out but he put his bags down so he could put his arms around Brent. "It's going to be so nice to sleep tonight."

"Who's planning to sleep?" Brent raised his eyebrows. "Where's my real husband?"

"Shh, you know what I meant," Maddox couldn't stop smiling even though he was trying to hush Brent. He kissed Brent, feeling Brent's hands slip under his shirt right away.

"Okay, you've been here like 5 minutes and I'm already tired of this," Zack interrupted. Maddox realized the rest of the boys were getting on the bus.

"You're just jealous," Brent accused, not moving his hands.

"It would only be fair if you share," Adam told him, walking right up behind Maddox. He kissed his cheek and then moved like he was going to kiss Maddox's neck.

"Get away," Brent laughed as Maddox dodged Adam's lips.

"I'm glad you're here," Adam gave Maddox a quick hug.

"I'm glad I'm here too," Maddox kissed Brent one more time, sad to have to let go of him even if it was just for the drive to the hotel.

Being on tour with Complexx again was entirely different from the last time Maddox had traveled with them. While the boys were still on a strict schedule, the managers were finally letting them do whatever they want when they weren't working. It also made a big difference that Maddox had his own work to do while they were touring. Time passed much faster when he wasn't just sitting around and the days seemed to fly by.

"I thought you were never coming back," Zack almost fell into Maddox when Maddox got back to the hotel after his interview that night. His book was released before Christmas and was, not shockingly, a huge success but he was still out doing TV interviews and other promo work for it.

"Are you drunk?" Maddox laughed.

"Day off tomorrow," Zack waved his hand. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Uh, okay."

"Hey, you're back!" Brent appeared just then. "I got to watch the whole thing, you did great."

"Thanks," Maddox smiled as Brent kissed him.

"Anyway," Zack sounded annoyed that Brent had interrupted.

"Sorry, were you in the middle of something?" Brent looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"I don't think so," Maddox shook his head. "Are you drinking?"

"No, but you can if you want," Brent offered. "I'll get you whatever you want."

"Good," Maddox smirked. "I know exactly what I want."

"Ugh," Zack huffed.

"Goodnight, Zack," Brent grabbed Maddox's wrist and pulled him out of the room. "His girlfriend broke up with him. You know things are bad when even your contract girlfriend breaks up with you."
