Fall Out Boy saved me

Love Is Such A Silly Game We Play

FOB's POV:
"I can't believe you're going back already! You barely got here!" Patrick whines. The four band members are driving Eli to the airport after three fun filled days of sight seeing, eating at local favorites, and meeting their families.

"Don't worry I'm pretty sure I'll visit soon, just make sure you keep my boyfriend out of trouble," Eli winks.

"Woah three days and you're already saying the B-word," Pete laughs.

"It takes me less than a minute to call you the other B-word ya bitch," Joe retorts. He smirks cockily at Pete who just laughs and rolls his eyes.

"Hey being sassy is my job! I'm Sasstrick remember?" Patrick puts one hand on his hip and raises the other with his palm facing outwards even puckering his lips for emphasis. All he needs is a tiara to be sass royalty. The backseat erupts with giggles similar to those of high school girls when their crush passes by.

"Calm down boys, you're all petty divas." Andy knows just when to stop all the drama between the three and quiet them down. It makes him feel like he has 3 grown adopted sons.

It had't even been 20 minutes when Pete speaks up again. "Dad I wanna stop for a pee break!" He hold the middle of his jeans and crosses his legs even rocking back and forth bumping Joe and Patrick in the process.

Andy sighs and looks at the sunroof for some kind of divine intervention. Eli takes notice of his expression and decides to join the fun.

"Now now son, we're almost there when your Daddy parks the car your brothers can help you to the potty alright sweetheart? Eli replies to him in a motherly voice which makes the entire car burst into laughter.

"Daddy?!" Pete repeats leaning on Joe who was covering his face to stop himself from snorting when he laughed.

"Daddy?!" Patrick repeats for emphasis as he wipes tears out of his eyes. Everybody in car is red faced from all the excitement, but eventually calm down. They take deep breaths to cool down and compose themselves again.

"DADDY!" Joe suddenly shouts which breaks the silence in the car and causes them to become hysterical for the second time in an hour.

When the airport comes into view Andy grips his hand tighter around Eli's as his other hand turns the steering wheel.

"Andy you act like I'm never going to see you again," he chuckles. He looks over at Andy whose face is expressionless and still as a statue. Andy stops the car at the yellow loading part of the sidewalk while the backseat empties out to help Eli with his luggage.

"Okay that's everything, have a safe flight okay Marvel?" Patrick says putting his arms around Eli. Joe rests his hand on his shoulder and Pete messes up his hair before darting to the nearest bathroom inside the airport.

"I guess he had to go for real huh?" Joe shrugs.

"Well we get to be parked here for 15 minutes so let's hurry up and use it too!" Patrick takes off after Pete and Joe follows his smaller band member in a slow jog.

Eli's POV:
"Why so quiet And?" I rub his back and try to look past his sunglasses into his eyes but all I see is my reflection in them.

Finally he sighs and takes off his sunglasses revealing his glassy eyes. "Come on And don't cry, you're gonna make me start too."

He hugs me closer to him and rests his chin on my head just like when we first kissed. "I don't wanna let you go now that I have you," he mumbles.

I feel my stomach do summersaults when I hear him talk about me like I'm the most important person in the universe. It actually makes me feel loved.

I look back up at him and press my lips against his in a gentle kiss. "I have to go now okay babe?" I can't miss my flight." I put on my backpack and wheel my suitcase around while my other hand holds onto Andy's. We cling to each other until I release my grip as I walk further away from him back to my life in California.

Andy's POV:
"I just feel like a dick guys, I honestly love Eli, but I don't know if he's ready to commit to dating a man who travels most of the year. I think I moved too fast when I asked him to be my boyfriend." We're on the road again inside of the tour bus playing video games and goofing off before our next show which is in 12 hours. Well, the rest of the band is. I'm laying on a beanbag chair staring up at the roof of the bus feeling sorry for myself and missing Eli even though it's only been 2 weeks.

"And I don't want to make him feel like he has to choose between me and his dreams," I say before falling back in the couch with my hands over my face feeling defeated. Love is one of the strongest and shittiest feeling in the world.

"You're so cute when you're frustrated," Joe comments. I move my hands and scowl at him. In return he blows a kiss then goes back to putting new strings on his guitar.

"Joe be sensitive!" Patrick scolds. "Being in a relationship is hard work, but it takes effort from the both of you to make it work. Have you guys been vocal about what you want out of the other?"

"Not really, I guess we're still in the honeymoon stage and not confirming anything on social media." I can't believe what a therapist Patrick is. He actually made me realize that I can't just tell Eli I love him and everything will be dandy. I actually need to learn more about him. I'm such a jerk! It's almost like I've been thinking with the head between my legs rather than the one on my shoulders.

Pete looks up from the rerun of the fashion show we went to that's playing on his laptop. "You guys should make it official on Twitter already. I bet you can do it in less than 20 characters."

"Out of the question, I don't want to force the stress of being a famous drummer's boyfriend on him." My phone beeps in my back pocket with it's familiar tone. I read the message and text back immediately.

E: Hey! add me on Skype @Marvel>DC25
A: Okay! Let me just go into another room ❤️

"Tell Eli we said hi," Joe calls out after me as I make my way to the back of the bus towards the bunks.

Probably gonna update again tonight because I got major writer's block all of a sudden.
