Josh, the other Josh, stumbled into Oli’s room; their arms wrapped around each other. The older man’s hands untangled himself from Oli as he opened the door to his room, still keeping their lips attached to each other.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Josh asked, stepping inside the room. “Because we can stop if you want to.”
“I already told you that this is what I want.” Oli replied, breathing heavily. “Or is it you that doesn’t want to do this?”
“Trust me, I want to do this more than anything.”
Oli sloppily attached his lips to Josh’s, running his hands through the other’s hair. Josh’s hands wandered down Oli’s back, rubbing it in circles. Soft moans escaped from the younger man’s lips as Josh’s hands found their way down to his bum. It all felt so good, but so wrong.
Were they moving too fast? Or could Oli simply not forget the other Josh?
“Josh…” Oli began, untangling himself from the other’s arm’s. “I-I don’t think I can do this right now. I think we’re moving too fast, I mean, we just met today and I’d really appreciate it if we could get to know each other better first?”
“You’re right.” Josh sighed, straightening himself out. “Perhaps, we can go on a friendly date tomorrow? You know, so we can begin to know each other better?”
“That would be great.”

“Thank you for talking to me tonight, Michael.” Josh slurred, being helped up by Dan. “I’ll be sure to call you tomorrow when I’m better.”
“Don’t worry, you made tonight pleasant for me.” he replied, handing Josh his umber.
“Thanks again for taking care of this knucklehead.” Dan laughed. “Hope he wasn’t too much trouble.”
“It was my pleasure.”
Dan smiled at Michael, waving to him as he carried a half-asleep Josh. He struggled some to help the other outside. Once they were out of the bar, Dan helped the other into the cab.
“What am I going to do with you Joshua?”
“I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“You made another person like you.”
“We just talked.” Josh complained. “Besides, I have a girlfriend. I can’t do anything to hurt her.”
“Well then you better hide this slip of paper.” he replied, making Josh raise an eyebrow.
He handed him the slip, within a few seconds he had opened it. It read:
I know who you are. As much as I’d like for you to call me, I’m afraid that won’t be possible because I know who your girlfriend is. She’s also my sister.
“What in the world?” Josh gasped, sitting up straight. “Alicia has a brother. One that apparently likes me too.”

At dinner the next day, after the bands had finished their set, You Me At Six all sat next to each other; Max at the corner seat of the table, Matt siting to right, Dan sitting next to him, Josh sitting next to him, and Chris sitting on the edge of the other side of the table. Bring Me The Horizon sat in a similar setting to their tourmates; Lee sat next to Max- on the little space between the two facing seats-, with Matt Kean to his left, Jordan to his left, the other Josh next to him, Oli next to the other Josh- and in front of love of his life Josh- and Matt Nicholls at the edge. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their dinner- except for Josh. He kept glancing at Oli, who was laughing and talking to Dan and his brother- the other Josh.
