Dallon's POV

This was it. The end of an era.

For a month, at least.

August 6th, 2016. Irvine Meadows Ampitheatre.

This was it.

No more touring with Weezer, and it was a bummer. This also meant that my time with Kenny would be coming to an end. I was filled with an overwhelming sadness. But I had to treasure every last waking moment I spent with Kenny. It was three hours before our meet and greets. We were all sitting together in a dressing room, talking about random crap, as per usual.

"I don't know... Dallon tell us a joke!" Dan said mid-laugh.

I grinned, "Well, the twelve inch pianist-"

"OKAY NEVERMIND! Note to self, never let Dallon talk," Zack laughed.

"I mean, I don't know sometimes he can be funny," Kenny shrugged. My heart began to race.

He thinks I'm funny?

My face grew warm, and I used my hands to nonchalantly cover my rosy cheeks, "Thanks man, it means a lot."

"[cough] gAy [cough]," Brendon groaned. Kenny rolled his eyes and I followed suit, not wanting to make my crush obvious.

"Yeah alright, says the one who's shipped with literally every single one of his friends... Brallon..." Kenny mumbled, loud enough to be heard by every person on the room, but no others.

A wave of sorrow [rushed through my body] melted my loins.

(A/N): I don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean. But let's keep it. -DADDY SATAN

I shifted in my seat. He...

There's no way he likes me back...

The room fell to an uncomfortable silence.

Zack sighed, "So who's coming to the show tonight? Anyone we know?"

"I know Sarah is gonna be there. And Spencer," Brendon spoke up.

"Isn't Pete going?" Kenny asked.

"Breezy's going. I believe Linda is as well," I added.

Silence once more consumed the room, as well as boredom.

Brendon let out a childish groan, "GuUuUyyYyySSssss!! I'm boreeed!" Brendon began to flail in his chair, leading to him collapsing on the floor. Kenny giggled (making me slightly jealous) and Dan pulled one of his iconic 'i-want-to-kill-myself' smirks.

"Alright, then what should we do?" Dan asked.

Brendon's lips contorted to a devilish smirk, "How about some truth or dare?"

Within minutes, the five of us, meaning Brendon, Kenny, Dan, Zack, and, of course, myself were gathered in a circle on the floor with an empty bottle in the center. Brendon reached out and spun it, and we all watched the neck of the bottle spin. It landed on Zack.

"Alright, truth or dare?" Brendon asked eyeing his friend.

"Dare, obviously," Zack said.

"Okay, I dare you to take off your shirt and run down the hallway!"

Zack rolled his eyes, "Seriously?"

Brendon grinned, "It's a dareeee you have to. Do it. Do it. Do it. dO IT. DO IT! DO IT!" We all started to chant until Zack quickly flung his shirt to the ground and sprinted to the door. He jiggled the doorknob and threw it open. That was the last thing we saw of Zack. However, we did hear his incessant high-pitched screaming as he ran to the end of the hallway and back. Brendon and Kenny were doubled over with laughter, while Dan and I both struggled to take out our phones and record the disaster that was taking place before our very eyes. Zack rushed back into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Never. Again," he breathed. The most I got was him barging into the room. He pulled his shirt back on and sat with us in the circle. I had my legs crossed, and my left foot had fallen asleep. I moved them in front of me and bent them so I could place my chin on my knee. Zack spun the bottle. It landed on Kenny. I glanced to my right to meet Kenny's profile as he looked at Zack.

"Truth or dare, Kennyboy?" Zack asked, rubbing his hands together mischievously.

Kenny smiled, his lips curling into what I can only describe as perfection, "Dare!"

"Alright, I dare you to..." Zack shot a small glance at me before stifling a laugh, "I DARE YOU TO KISS DALLON ON THE LIPS!"  

At that moment I asked myself, 'Can I die away from you?'

And by 'you' I meant the entirety of the planet.
