The Strays

Chapter 5: Kick Me

                   (Vic's POV)

Kellin is the most perfect person in this planet, even if he doesn't know it. I woke up and looked at the beautiful man that is next to me. He's been through so much and deserves to be happy.

"Are you happy?" I whisper to him.

He slowly opens his eyes. "Yes I am very happy. As I should be. Thanks to you."

I smirk. "Wonderful. It's such a lovely feeling to have."

"I do need to get ready for class. Even though you are adorable and I don't want to leave you." He whines.

"I don't want you to either. You do owe me a kiss before you go." I smirk again.

"How about no?" He kids.

"Kiss me. I don't want you to be late because of me." I tell him.

He gets up and gets dressed, I don't watch him though. I hear him walking towards me and I look at him.

I pull him close to me and connect my lips to his. The feeling of his lips on mine is amazing and wonderful. The way our lips move together perfectly. I pull back. "Go to your class."

He sighs and leaves the dorm room. I look around the room. It is so lonely now that Kellin is at class. Everything that has happened with us happened so fast. I get up and grab my guitar and song journal and start writing.

"Sunshine, there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night.
The dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy.
Licking your fingers like you're done and you've decided there is so much more than me.
And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake." I sing as I write down the lyrics.

I hear the door open and relax when I see Kellin. "You lied to me." He states.

"About?" I ask innocently.

"Your singing. It's amazing and so are the lyrics." He states like it's obvious. "Well then. I think it is. You're going on warped tour. One of the biggest tours there is. That's the reason." He tells me.

I don't believe him but he might not be wrong. I've known him for such a short while but I'm falling on love with him.

"Vic, are we officially a couple?" He asks me.

I smirk. "Do you want us to be a couple?"

He smiles. "Yes but do you?"

I kiss him on the cheek. "Yes. I've wanted this for a long time."

His cheeks flush and he laughs. "Figures as much."

"You knew this the whole time, didn't you? About my crush on you." I ask, accusingly.

"I knew that. You made it very obvious. Especially when you kissed me the way you did." He states.

"Well, did you at least enjoy it?" I smirk even though I already know the answer.

"Of course I did, baby." He grabs my hand.

"You just called me baby." I state and pull him closer to me.

"And if I didn't?"

"You're so lucky."

"Why is that?"

"Cause you have me."

"True."

My phone goes off. I read the text and it says that it's time to go to rehearsal with the band.

"I have to go to practice with the band." I sigh.

"So..." he kisses me.

"I want you to come with me to rehearsal. It would mean so much to me."

                      (Kellin's POV)
He wants me to go to rehearsal with him. I'm really happy with the fact that he's even inviting me to go. "Of course I'm going to come. I love hearing you sing" I state.

"Let's go then, sexy." He smirks and we leave the room.

I lock the door and follow Vic to their studio or wherever they practice at. When we get there I follow Vic inside and holy shit. It's huge, like insanely huge.

There's three couches, two lazy-boys, and five basses, and a full recording studio.

"How do you have the money for all of this?" I ask trying not to be rude.

Mike speaks up. "All of our parents contributed to this. And some we paid for ourselves. Hard work does pay off."

Jaime smiles. "It really does pay off knowing that we're going to Warped Tour."

Tony laughs. "To the point where we need to practice."

Vic kisses me and then grabs one of the guitars. "I cannot spend another night in this home.
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow.
The consequences is if I leave I'm alone.
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
As I run through glass in the street kerosene hearts carry the name that my father gave me.
And took the face of the wolf." He sings and I listen intently. His voice is so beautiful and soothing. He's amazing at it and loves it.

Mike's drumming is insane, Tony's guitar is amazing, and Jaime's bass playing is incredible. I see why they got invited to play warped tour.

After a while they take a break and Vic tries to hug me but I shove him away from me. "You're all sweaty, it's gross."

Jaime brings me over a beer. "Want one?"

I take it. "Sure."

Mike sits on one of the couches. "You realize that we have three weeks until tour starts."

Jaime sighs. "It's already close to summer for other schools. This is insane that we get to do this."

Vic grabs my hand and takes a sip of his beer. "We haven't even finished our album yet."

Tony drinks some of his water. "We only get a six song set."

Vic smiles a little bit. "So our set is going to be Hell Above, Caraphanalia, Bulletproof Love, Bulls In The Bronx, Kissing in Cars, I want to do King For A Day but we don't have someone who will sing it with me."

I look at them. "I'll do it. I'll sing it with you."

Jaime smiles. "I thought you weren't going?" I realize that Vic is the only one who knows about my band, whose also going on Warped. I clear my throat. "You know how the list of bands says Sleeping With Sirens? That's my band. I'm going on Warped too. I'll do it."

Vic kisses my cheek. "Perfect. So we'll end our set with King For A Day. Kells, you have to learn it."

I nod. "How about we practice it right now?"

Vic smirks. "Alright."

Mike goes to his drum set, Jaime grabs his bass, and Vic grabs his guitar. I stand next to Vic. Both of us start to sing.

"Dare me to jump off this Jersey bridge? I bet you never had a Friday night like this!!" We stop after the song ends and go back to our dorm.
