'THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!' Dan shouted down the microphone. 'This has been incredible, Thankyou all for coming. We're Bastille and we'll see you guys soon!' Dan waved and Kyle put his arm round him as the boys walked off the stage.

'That was amazing guys! Great, great show!' Dick came over, smiling.
Hearing this really made Dan feel really good. He was quite nervous about tonight's show, after what his Father said. He just wanted to put on a good show.

As soon as they had a little privacy backstage, Kyle walked over and kissed Dan, pulling him close.

'Dan I'm so proud of you, that was wicked.'

Dan blushed, 'Thank you Kyle. I couldn't have done it without you guys though, obviously.'

'You smashed it babe. Now come on, let's get back to the bus.'

The met with some fans on the way. The usual, sign a few things, take a few photos, answer a few questions. Until someone asked a question that made Dan a little uncomfortable.

'Why have you and Kyle decided to live together?'

Dan froze for a few seconds. It felt like he was standing there in silence for minutes.
'Umm...Well I lived alone and when he split up with Janna we just spoke about it for a while until he really moved in..'

They all muttered things like 'aww' and 'cute' before Kyle himself joined them.
'Hey guys!' He wrapped his arm around Dan's shoulder.

They all looked at each other and smirked. Dan now felt a little flustered; what if they are suspecting things...?

'Guys I hate to say it but we have to leave, I'll see you guys soon.' Dan quickly said as he saw Dick walking over.
They swiftly walked away from the crowd and then towards Dick and the bus.

Dan walked straight to the lounge and sat down awkwardly. Obviously overthinking things again.

'You alright Danny?' Woody now walked in front of Will, Dick, Kyle and some of the other crew. As soon as everyone boarded the two buses, they could leave.
'Yeah, yeah I'm good.'

Kyle say next to Dan and put his arm round Dan's waist, letting his head rest on his shoulder.
'It'll be alright babe, I'm sure it's nothing.' Kyle whispered. He knew what was going on in Dan's mind.

Dan pulled out his phone to look at twitter. A way of distraction.
A few videos of the gig.
Few positive feedback comments.
A few articles.
A few memes.
Until he came across one article. The link picture was a really old photo of him and Kyle wearing those shirts with each other's face's on.
But the title is what made Dan freak out.
'Fans suspect Dan Smith and Kyle Simmons of Bastille to be in some sort of relationship (photo evidence included)'

Kyle now lifted his head up to get a better view as Dan clicked on the link with shaky hands.

There was a paragraph about them moving in together and people always shipping them. But Dan only wanted to see this 'photo evidence'

He then scrolled down to a paragraph about them going off tour for personal matters.
And there it was.
A photo of Dan and Kyle at the hospital.
Dan crying in Kyle's arms.
Kyle comforting him, his arms wrapped tightly around his boyfriend.
I mean, this article was not wrong.
But it just means another thing to deal with.

'What the fuck.' Dan stood up, shaking. He dropped his phone and rushed into the kitchen area, slamming the door on the way.
Kyle got up after him, he shouted Dan's name before following him.

The crew looked at each other as if someone had just got shot before their eyes.
Woody hesitantly picked up the phone that was sitting beside his foot.
He scanned through whatever was on the screen, Will looking over his shoulder.
Everyone was silent. Woody and Will looked at each other in some sort of shock.
'Well?' Dick asked, concern plastered on his face.
Woody just handed over the phone and sat quietly while Dick read it.
'Shit. Well this is fucking great.' He put a hand on his head and looked towards the kitchen.
'We need to go check on them. Dan doesn't take these things lightly and he's already going through a hard time.' Will spoke, he looked so worried.

'I'll go.' Dick already started walking into the kitchen, closing the door behind him.

The rest of the crew sat their in shock...
They all knew how much more this is gonna mess up Dan.
Maybe more than they think.
