To Write Love On His Arms

o19

The happy couple were walking around, greeting all the fans and watching the bands. Matty had promised Josh that he would watch You Me at Six’s set and so that’s where they were heading off to. After stopping to take photos and Austin signing stuff for the fans, they were now watching the British men step on stage.

“What’s up, Ohio?!” Josh said, flashing a charming smile. “Before we start our set, I would like to say happy birthday to a new friend of mine, Matty Carlile, who’s watching us right now!”

Matty blushed. ‘Can this day get any better?’

A couple of songs later, here Matty and Austin were, Matty swaying to Always Attract with Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirens singing with Josh and Austin’s arms holding him from behind, his chin resting on Matty’s shoulder. Austin thought the next thing on the list after singing with Austin would be hard (it was “Do something interesting at Warped Tour that has never happened before.”), but after reaching out to Josh, he had to rely on the British man to help do so.

“Our next song is dedicated to our friends, Austin and Matty. It’s not a song by either Kellin or I, but we wanted to surprise them with this next song. This is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.”

“The song we danced to on our wedding?” Matty asked, more to himself than to the tattooed man.

“I didn’t think they’d play this song, but,” Austin started off, standing in front of his husband and letting a hand out. “Will you have this dance with me?”

“Yes,” Matty answered with a giggle.

Matty put his arms around his husband’s neck, Austin’s hands resting on Matty’s hips. They moved slowly, Matty’s head on Austin’s chest, humming along to Kellin and Josh’s singing.

“And I'd give up forever to touch you, ‘cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't wanna go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment. And all I can breathe is your life. When sooner or later it's over, I just don't wanna miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me, ‘cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.”

The audience made a huge circle around them, watching them in awe. Truly this was something that has never happened at Warped Tour.
