The Way It Is (A Pierce the Veil Fanfic) *EDITING*

Chapter 5 - Touchy Subject

~~Jaime's POV~~

I wake up to find an arm draped lazily over my chest. I turn my head to the left slightly to see a sleeping Mike, his lips parted the tiniest bit and his breathing even. I smile to myself and slowly bring a hand up to move his arm from me, careful as to not wake him.

I climb out of the bed and throw on my.... Wait...

Are these Tony's? Ha! That's hilarious.

I wonder if he's wearing some of mine. Can't say this doesn't happen a lot. It's like a whole other level of wearing your boyfriend's clothes. I shrug and put them on anyway and grab a big t-shirt from my closet.

Pants suck. They're a pain and I'm just not feeling it.

I leave my room and before heading downstairs, I stop, hearing someone singing in the shower. I stride over to the bathroom door and listen, expecting to hear Vic's voice but... It's Tony's! Oh my god, that's fucking adorable.

I mean, yeah, he sings with the radio in the car and like randomly around the house sometimes but we all know that shower singing is a different thing. It's like you're performing for yourself. And Tony is getting it. I bet he's dancing too. Cute little turtle.

I stand there for a minute before I pick up that he's singing 'Basket Case' by Green Day. I nod at his song choice and he sounds pretty damn good. He's so shy though, he probably would never sing like that on stage. Bummer. I frown a little but revel in the moment and continue to make my way downstairs, knowing Vic isn't awake yet.

Those damn Fuentes boys would sleep all fucking day if Tone and I let them.

As I reach the kitchen, it dawns on me that it's been a hot minute since Hime-Time has made breakfast for his men. With a determined look slapped across my face, I get to work making the greatest breakfast that would ever grace the mouths of my little Sexican potatoes.

Well, since I'm making the breakfast of the year, my brain has some free time to do some talking to you lovely things. What does she call you? Chodies? That's cute, I like that. (A/N: thanks bebe <3)

I'm assuming you've caught on by now what we have going on here. Yes, Pierce the Veil is in love. But hopefully I can shed a little light on things you don't know yet.

Let's talk about who knows. So, pretty much all of our home boys are aware. Kellin, Austin, Ronnie, Oliver, Andy, Craig, Jalex and their bandmates all know. Our tour manager knows, bus drivers we've had in the past know, lots of people know. We keep it on the down low because well, no offense guys, but you are all crazy. I mean that in the most loving way. We love the crazy. We're just not ready to tell the whole world about it.

That brings me to my next point though, our families... This has always been kind of a touchy subject in the house. Mama and Papa Fuentes both know. They were, actually, first to know considering this started with Fuencest.

Oh yeah, Fuencest was real way before PTV happened. Put that in your juice box. They're totally cool with it. I personally think Mama Fuentes ships it harder than anyone else that knows. Well, besides one little chodie, so I've heard. *winks*

Tone's dad isn't in the picture, but his mom knows and she's supportive. It's amazing to see how much she loves Tony. It's probably the best mother-son relationship I've ever witnessed, come to think of it.

So, at this point you might be thinking, "Well shit Hime, why would this be a touchy subject? Everyone seems to be down with the love. What's the problem?"

The problem, that's me. Well, not so much me... Partly me.

My dad isn't in the picture either. Much like Tony's, he left when I was young. My mom however... Though I love her to bits, is a narrow minded woman. To her, I've always been straight and to her, I'm still straight. I had every intention of telling her... Ya know, at some point.
