A small crowd of fans shuffled into Three Days Grace's dressing room, their VIP passes hanging around their necks. They greeted the band and introduced themselves, before asking the band to sign a various assortment of items.
One shy fan called Matt over, clutching something to his chest.
"Umm, hi..." he said quietly, practically whispering, and then forced himself to speak up and look into Matt's eyes, shaking his light brown hair out of his eyes. "I made this little puppet of you." He held out the object he was holding for Matt to see.
"Aww, that's awesome! It looks just like me!" Matt said excitedly, taking the puppet.
"I want you to keep it," the shy fan said.
"Really? Thank you! What's your name?" Matt asked.
"Jimmy," he replied.
"I'll name him Jimmy, after you," Matt smiled before adding, "Hey, everyone! Look at what Jimmy made!" He held up the puppet. Jimmy flushed a deep crimson as everyone looked at him and the puppet.
After everyone's stuff had been signed and pictures were taken, the fans slowly left the room. Matt cast one more glance at Jimmy as he left, then down at the puppet he was holding.
He had only ever seen one person look at him with so much love and adoration before.
Or at Neil with so much hate.
......
"Thank you!" Matt shouted to the crowd as the band gathered together for a bow. They put their arms around each other and bowed, before throwing a few more guitar picks into the pit and exiting the stage.
"Great show baby," Neil complimented Matt once everything was cleaned up, put away, and they were backstage as he kissed him on the cheek. There it was- in Neil's eyes, the same look Jimmy had given Matt.
"Thank you." Matt blushed. "Your drum solo was great as usual," he added.
Neil eyed Matt seductively. "Drums aren't the only thing I'll bang tonight." He winked before crashing into a trash can from not looking where he was going.
Dani ran as fast as he could ahead of the group as soon as Neil finished his sentence.
"Neil, we're staying in the bus tonight. So you two will MOST DEFINITELY not be screwing tonight," Barry reminded the pair.
"Aww," the two groaned.
"I question your taste in men, little brother," Brad teased.
"As do I," Matt replied and nudged him with his elbow.
"I'm straight!" Brad protested.
"Sure," Matt said sarcastically as they reached the bus.
"Anyone want to watch a movie with me?" Barry asked, clearly uncomfortable with the topic of conversation.
"I'm actually kinda tired," Matt yawned as he stepped into the bus.
"I wouldn't be surprised, you put even more energy than usual into that show," Neil commented.
"I'm going off to bed. Love you." Matt kissed Neil.
"I love you too," Neil replied.
......
Matt lay awake for a couple hours after going to bed, unable to sleep. He looked up at Jimmy, who he had placed on the shelf in his bunk, before grabbing the puppet, holding him close to his chest, and finally drifted into sleep.
