Another You - Austin Carlile, Tony Perry, Chris Motionless

I'm Under Your Spell, And I Don't Regret It

Pearce's POV: 

"Great set," I cheered as the guys rushed off stage. They all gave me thumbs up and Chris kissed my cheek making my blush. "You guys have a signing in like 45 minutes, so be quick," I reminded them before heading to the press area to find out when their interview was. "Excuse me," I mumbled as I pushed past a few people. 

"Watch it," a voice warned. I stopped and looked up into Tony's eyes. They went wide and he immediately pulled me into his arms. "I've been so worried about you, Rory. Where the Hell were you?" 

"I've been here for awhile," I growled. "You know, after you left me in my drive way?" 

He groaned and finally let go of me. "I'm sorry, I just go so mad." 

"Yeah, I noticed," I hissed back. 

"Is everything okay here," I heard a voice warn before two long arms wrapped around my waist. 

I sighed and look up to see Chris, freshly changed and make up on point, standing there giving Tony a cold glare. "Everything's fine, Chris." 

"What's it to you," Tony challenged. I wish he hadn't. 

I felt Chris stiffen and release me. I winced at the loss of contact. "Well to be honest, I don't like the tone you're using with my tour manager."

"She's a big girl, she can handle herself. So back off." Tony shoved Chris and continued to stand his ground. 

Before Chris could retaliate I got in the middle of them and placed my hands on his chest. "Chris, just let it go. I'm fine. Everything's fine. Go to your signing, I'll be there in a few minutes." 

He nodded and I watched a devilish smirk spread across his face. His arms snake back around me and his lips crashed against mine. I instantly kissed back, out of habit before Chris pulled away. "I'll see you in a few minutes. Don't get lost. Remember our little arrangement," he purred, winking at me and walking away.

"What the Hell was that," Tony demanded as soon as Chris was out of sight. 

I hit my forehead against the closest wall and looked back at a very angry Tony. "Well, I'm going back on tour with them and uh... I think Chris and I are back together but I'm not quite sure."

"Are you kidding me?!" 

I shook my head and just looked down at my feet. "I'm sorry, Tone. I told you how I felt about you. You're my best friend and I don't even want to think about hurting you," I muttered. "Please, try and understand." 

He sighed and hugged me tightly. "I do understand. I'm sorry, Rory. It's just, you and him are already together, it's just hard." 

"I know Tony. But please, I don't want this to come between us," I begged. "I can't lose you, you're my best friend." 

He sighed and let me go, continuing to look down at his feet. "And you're mine. I never meant to hurt you, Rory."

"I know. You can't help who you start falling for," I muttered as I gazed at Chris already sat down at their signing. A giant smile was on his face as he joked with a few fans that got there early. 

"Clearly," Tony mumbled. I looked up at him and noticed that his eyes were on Chris too. He sighed and nodded for me to go over to the signing. "Come on, you're their manager. You've got crowd and bitch control." 

I laughed and walked over with Tony. "Thank you for not getting upset again." 

"It was stupid and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you there and I shouldn't have forced you to try and give us a chance," he breathed out. "You've always had a way of driving me crazy."
