Lovin' You Again

Unexpected

Kirstie's POV

Wow, I actually just did that. I don't know why I did. I feel like I was being too harsh on Avi these past few years. I was too caught up in Jeremy to realize what a great friend he was. I'm pretty sure Jeremy was right about Avi having a crush on me but I never minded. Maybe we can start over? 

"Y-yeah that sounds cool, rock and roll." I laugh. He's always said Rock and Roll whenever he was happy. 

Good to know Avi hasn't changed much in the last year. I think he could use a beard trim though. It's really long. He's still a good looking man, and he has such a pretty face but it's being hidden by all that beard.Then again, he's not the pop-culture Avi Kaplan anymore. He's folk-culture Avriel Kaplan. The beard fits Avriel. 

This isn't the same man who has a passion for bass singing. He obviously has a passion for folk music lead singing. We never had him do leads in Pentatonix except for an occasional one. He has a beautiful voice, I don't know why we never did. 

I listened to his "Sage and Stone" EP and it was beautiful. Every second of it was amazing. His voice was able to calm you if you're stressed. Every one of his songs had meaning to it and it was great. I know Avi has always been a genuine man but I've never really bothered to actually take that in until now. 

I tell Avi that I'm going to go buy my groceries and that I'll meet him at a diner just up the street. I also tell him that I'm going to go change and put on some makeup. 

I have to look presentable, after all. Though we've spent time on tour buses before. He knows what I look like in the morning. But still, I have a sudden need to look decent for him right now and I don't know why. 

"No Kirst, that's not necessary you look fine. Please just meet me at the diner the way you are right now." 

Wow, that was genuine. He looked like he legitimately didn't want me to change. 

"Are you sure Av? It won't take me long." Avi, I really need to put on makeup. Please stop being a gentleman. 

"I'm sure Kirst." Dammit. 

"Okay." We split ways and I get in line to buy my groceries. I guess I'll just leave them in the car while me and Avi catch up.

I still can't believe that I saw him in the grocery store, what a small world. It was kind of good to see Avi again though, and hearing his deep, mesmerizing voice again. I think having breakfast with him is going to be nice too. This would be the first time we've ever hung out together, alone that is, in a few years. 

I remember he took me to a concert in 2013. That was fun.

~Flashback~

The lights around us flashed as the people jumped and screamed at the singer. I didn't know them, I only came because Avi invited me and truth me told, I kind of wanted to hang out with him. I know he's the bass in our band but he's really sweet. I believe we're both single too. 

I giggle as I hear Avi belt the words to the song out loud in his voice.

"Isn't this awesome Dirst!?" 

Dirst. I don't know why but he started calling me that. Most people use 'Kirst' but Avi uses 'Dirst'. I'm not complaining it's a cute nickname. 

I give him a thumbs-up and I laugh at him, dancing stupidly (yet hilariously). He gives me a superfrown and then pulls my arm, urging me to dance with him. 
This isn't really my go-to choice of music, but this is a fun concert and it's not bad music either. I go along with dancing with Avi. 

He twirls me as much as he can to the song. We always find some weird dance move to do to each song that is sung. I'm really enjoying myself, and Avi's company. 

Before I know it I'm grinding on him by intermission. 
The lights flicker on and I get off of him, blushing madly along with the bass. His hair is soaked in sweat along with his bangs that are hanging infront of his eyes. I giggle and push them out of the way. 

"Hey, I'm going to go get a drink, want anything?" He asks me. I tell him a water and he walks off. I watch him go, a sudden butterfly feeling in my stomach emits. 

It doesn't last long though as I'm interrupted by a very tall, good looking man. 

"Hey, what's a pretty lady like you doing at a concert like this?" He asks me.

"I'm waiting for my friend, he went to get refreshments." I reply.

"I see. My name is Jeremy by the way." 

"Kirstie."

~End of Flashback~

I remember how mad Avi was when he got back and saw me conversing with Jeremy. I do feel bad about that, I kind of feel like something would've happened between us if I had either A. Went with Avi to get us drinks or B. never gave Jeremy my number. Avi definitely liked me back then though. 

But I met Jeremy and he made me happy for the next 6 years. Until now. 
Maybe Avi and I can start over.

YES I LOVE THIS SO FAR.

Honestly I just remembered that Avi did take Kirstie to a concert at some point. At least I'm pretty sure. I do remember seeing a tweet somewhere that he took her to a concert. DONT QUOTE ME ON IT THOUGH XD I can't remember if it was 2013 or earlier, I just used 2013 because I knew they were still close then. Kirstie didn't actually meet Jeremy there but I just thought that'd be a cool little plot twist.

Hope you enjoyed! XOXO
