Alan's POV

"Austin actually kissed you?" Frank said in disbelief and I nodded my head once again.
"I can't believe it." He chuckled. "Go Alan, but remember if he hurts yo-"
"I know you guys will hurt him. Vic's already gave me the whole speech." I said and looked to Vic who smiled around the bite of sandwich he had in his mouth and nodded his head.
"I told you all." Kellin said from beside of me happily. "Speaking of him anyway. Alan give me his number so I can invite him over."
"No." I shook my head. "Nope. It's too early for me to talk to him again."
"Nonsense! Alan please." Kellin whined.
"Nope."
"Fine you leave me no choice." He sighed. I looked at him confused and he sat there a moment before pouncing on me.

He fought with me momentarily, the struggle being almost equally matched since we both were skinny and had no muscle at all. Eventually thought Kellin got my arms pinned down and reached in my pocket for my phone. He jumped up and ran to the other side of the room with it victoriously. He straightened out his dress and sent me a big smile.

"Alan you just got beat by a guy in a dress." Frank chuckled. I threw a nearby shoe at him and Kellin also slapped the back of his head.
"Shush." Kellin and I both said at the same time.
"I told you all they were like twins." Vic said and the others nodded. 
"Now I'm gonna call Austin." Kellin said and pranced from the room.

I just accepted defeat and sunk my face into the couch. I felt someone rub my shoulder and then heard Vic's voice. "Don't worry its for your own good."
"Oh shut up." I mumbled into the fabric of the pillow. I heard Vic chuckle and I just groaned. This was going to be so awkward. What would I even say to him? How do I even act?

"He's on his way." I heard Kellin say.
"You're the worst." I said.
"Don't say that. You know you love me right?" He asked starting to sound unsure. I raised up from my pillow and smiled at him.
"Of course I love you Kellin and you are the best. Even out of all of these dimwits." That comment got me a round of 'heys!' From the other three in the room. I just shrugged and smiled at them all, causing Kellin to giggle and me to give a laugh of my own.

It wasn't long, was not long at all, until the doorbell rang. I stayed frozen in my spot and Kellin jumped up, along with Frank and Vic. They all went to the door and I gave Gerard a hopeless look.
"It'll be okay." He laughed. "They're just gonna talk to him. Kellin won't let them harm him, too much." I covered my face in my hands and then sank them back down in a pillow. It was about ten minutes before I heard Austin's nasally laugh behind me.
"You know I can't see your pretty face with it covered." I felt myself blush and slowly pulled my face away from the pillow and looked up at him sheepishly.

"So you told them?" He asked and my heart stopped.
"By accident." I said quickly. "I'm sorry Austin, I didn't me-"
"Alan calm down." He said and put a hand on my shoulder. "It's fine. I didn't really expect you to keep the fact that I kissed you a secret from them. Just please don't tell anyone else, okay? I'm not ready for that."
"Of course Austin." He nodded his head and I scooted over so he could sit down beside of me. 

"What did they say to you?" I asked him.
"That if I broke your heart I was be a dead man. But just between me and you Frank and Vic are like this," he pinched two fingers together." Tall so I think I'll be okay."
"If you'll remember I beat your ass not too long ago so I wouldn't be saying that." Vic said from the other end of the couch. Austin just sighed and nodded his head muttering. "Forgot that."

"But no hard feelings right Vic?" Kellin said giving Vic a glare. "We're all going to give Austin a chance."
"Yea I know."
"Austin that means you're also going to give us a chance too. Right?" Kellin said, giving Austin a soft smile.
"Yeah." He smiled.
"Perfect." Kellin clapped his hands together. "And Austin?" Austin looked back to him. "Don't be afraid to be your self around us. I can tell you're nervous. You've stopped your hand about three times from grabbing Alan's and you're also trying to keep your gaze on anyone but him." Kellin linked his hand with Vic's and held them up. "We don't care."

I felt Austin release a breath from beside me and then grabbed my hand, linking our fingers together. Kellin sent him a happy smile and then turned to Vic, starting a conversation with him. I glanced at Gerard and Frank and saw them walking into the kitchen so I turned to Austin who was already looking at me.
"Hi." I basically whispered.
"Hey." He whispered back.
"Wanna know something?" He said and started moving his thumb back and forth across the back of my hand.
"What?"
"I was dying to see you."

"Really?" I said surprised.
"Yes really." He laughed. "I can't get you out of my head."
