I woke up the next morning, and was immediately confused by my surroundings. This was not my hotel room! Did I get drunk last night? I didn't remember going out... I remembered my argument with Andy about Kier, and then I ended up at Kier's and - yes! I stayed over. Fuck, why did it take me so long to remember that? Tiredness? Speaking of, what was the time? I turned over to see that Kier was no longer next to me, and that it was 10:28 am. Okay, not too bad. I grabbed my phone to see I had a text from Andy. Andy... I 'forgot' to tell him I was staying here, despite Luke's reminders, but surely he'd have guessed? He'd only be mad if I rang him anyway, so better to let him make his own assumptions. I did have to go back there today though, I needed new clothes. Sighing, I hauled myself out of bed and, after party taming the wild mane that had formed overnight on my head, I walked into the kitchen to see Kier sitting at the breakfast bar. "Morning." I yawned.

"Hey, you want coffee?" Kier asked as I sat next to him. I shook my head.

"No thanks, don't like it." I replied.

"How do you stay awake?!" He asked incredulously.

"Energy drinks, Kemp. Monster, Rockstar and Relentless are my life. I will take you up on some tea though, if you don't mind?" I asked.

"Sure thing, darling. Milk, sugar?"

"Milk and two sugars please."

After the Timids and, eventually, Luke were up, we talked for a while before Kier turned to me. "Hey, I'm gonna go get ready. Don't let Drew burn the place down." He winked, disappearing back into his room.

"Offended!" Drew called after him, pouting. Shane kissed his cheek though, making him smile again. I tried hard not to squeal. The feels.

"Okay, so are you two finally together?" Luke asked once Kier had shut the door. I blushed.

"W-what?! No, what makes you think that?!" I spluttered.

"From the way you look at each other. The Timids here were doing it for weeks before they got together! Plus, all Kier fucking talks about is you. He obviously likes you, I have no idea why he's taken this long to tell you." He stated matter-of-factly, only making me blush more.

"Seriously? And it's probably because my brother would castrate him." I rolled my eyes.

"Yep! And from what you told us last night, you don't seem to care if Andy doesn't want you with him." Drew commented.

"I don't. But maybe Kier does. Plus, I promised Andy I wouldn't go there with him, and I'd never break a promise to my brother, no matter how much of a dick he's being."

"Okay... But he does like you, and if you like him, why should your brother's opinion matter?" Shane said, as Kier came back.

"What opinion?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Shane's delusional one that Thor is better than Spiderman, let's go!" I made an excuse, saying goodbye to the others as we went. Damn, that was close.

Going back to the hotel with Kier was going to be awkward, to say the least. I hadn't read the text Andy'd sent, I was too scared of what it would say. I considered telling Kier to wait in the lobby, but then Shane's words came back to me. "But he does like you, and if you like him, why should your brother's opinion matter?" So, I guess I was finally admitting to myself that I really did like Kier in a romantic way, and knowing he liked me back only made it feel better. And maybe Andy wouldn't like it, but he was going to have to suck it up or drag me back to America. Fuck... I wouldn't put it past him to do that. Maybe, if something did happen with me and Kier, I'd have to keep it on the down-low. It wasn't honest, and I would have to break my promise, it wouldn't be fair to Andy. But, in his own words... Love isn't always fair. "Sapph, you okay?" Kier asked, squeezing my hand reassuringly, which only solidified my feeling even more and sent a spark up my arm. I nodded.

"Yeah, just a tad nervous... Let's get this over with." I sighed, unlocking the door. He sent me a reassuring smile and pushed it open, revealing Andy on the sofa, in a sort of daze. He looked up at us, the noise breaking him out of his train of thought, and immediately rushed up to hug me.

"Sapphie I'm so, so, so sorry! I overreacted big time, I've just had Ash and Jinxx telling me how fucking stupid I was. I didn't mean it, I'm sorry!" He cried into my shoulder, and for a moment I thought there might actually be tears. I sighed and hugged him back just as tight.

"Hey, hey. It's okay. I forgive you, bro. It was partly my fault too anyway." I replied as we pulled away, our identically blue eyes meeting. He grinned and kissed my cheek.

"Thanks. I'm guessing you're here for clean clothes?" He smirked. I nodded. "Okay, but don't be out too late, we have a Skype date with the guys at 9."

"Got it." I laughed, then went to get ready (A/N: Outfit on the side).

 "KIER! SLOW DOWN!" I screamed, holding onto the metal mesh of the trolley for dear life. While we were out, Kier also remembered he had to go food shopping, and so that's how I ended up being pushed around in a trolley in the middle of a supermarket getting death glares from other people as Kier raced down the aisle. Kier had gotten his presents for people earlier in the day, and I had Andy's birthday present too, so we were free to do what we liked for a few hours, it was only half 2.

"But that's no fun!" He replied, grinning wickedly as he turned a sharp corner and grabbed some bread. He threw it in, so it landed with a thud by my feet, and carried on zooming down to the next aisle. This carried on for a further twenty minutes, before we got to the check out.

"Uh... Kee, slight problem here." I laughed, looking down at the mountain of food I was buried under.

"Oh... Oops. Kee?" He smirked.

"Help me out, you dick! And yeah... I wanted a nickname for you." I blushed.

"Just wait till I load it on the conveyor belt and then you can get out. And that's cool with me... Phire. Hey, it matches your cheeks!"

"I hate you, Kemp." I pouted, at both my trolley situation and his comment on my blush.

"Nah, you love me really." He winked, lifting the food off of me and onto the scanner. Oh, if only you knew.

Once we'd got all the shopping back to the FVK place and unloaded, it was 4 pm. Collapsing on the sofa next to Kier, I yawned. "Well, that was tiring."

"Aw, is somebody sleepy?" Kier asked, putting an arm around my shoulders.

"Well yeah, we did stay up watching American Horror Story till like 4 am." I pointed out, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"And I bet it was so strenuous being pushed around in that trolley for half an hour."

"You read my mind." I giggled.

"I have been told I'm psychic before." He laughed.

"By who?!"

"Drew. I'd seen this film before him and he thought I was psychic for days when I predicted the plot-twist ending... Until Shane told him." He smirked, and we both starting laughing.

"That's mean." I breathed out, looking up to see Kier's face not an inch away from mine. All traces of laughter left our faces as his hazel eyes looked deep into my blue ones.

"If this is too far, tell me, and I promise I'll stop," Kier whispered. I nodded, watching as he got closer and closer, giving me plenty of time to back out. He stopped so our noses were touching, and our lips were only a millimetre apart. Any move forward from either of us would send them crashing together. And once they, did, I don't think we'd be able to stop ourselves. Andy briefly flashed in my head, a trace of guilt along with him, but then I opened my eyes to see Kier, right there, and any feeling I'd ever felt against doing this vanished. Ah, fuck it. I thought, and pushed forward so our lips  touched. Finally.
