Dark inside (Solby)

True fans

Colby's POV

When we finished the show and we headed in the back and our security started setting up for the meet and greet. Colby hugged me tightly after we took our mics off and I sighed with a smile.

"We did it baby. We told them everything"

"We did. And they support us completely" I said as he kissed the side of my head before we walked over to the stuff that was set up for the meet and greet. We met so many people, some had amazing art, others and cute little stuffed animals which Sam loved very much. Then there was this one really cool fan. She had purple and blue hair with sharp green eyes. She was super sweet and we were signing stuff for her when she reached over and handed us a few things. One of them was bejeweled cat ears which made my eyes light up as I smiled. Then she put two sweatshirts on the table and Sam and I stared at them in awe. One was a pastel blue and the other was a pastel pink, and they had an amazing drawing of the two of us on it.

"Holy crap. Did you draw that?"

"Yea. It's kinda crappy but it's my favorite drawing"

"It's an amazing drawing" Sam said with a smile before taking off the hoodie he was wearing, either forgetting or not caring that he didn't have a shirt underneath and she handed him the sweatshirt that was his as she looked at him in slight shock as she looked along his chest. He slipped the sweatshirt on while others were squealing and he smile throwing the hood up. "This is actually my new favorite sweatshirt." We watched the girl blush as she smiled.

"That honestly means a lot to me. Thank you."

"Thank you. This is honestly so amazing." She blushed and smiled as he hugged her tightly and I smiled slipping the other hoodie on. It was actually super comfortable and I smiled happily. She then walked over to me and hugged me and we all took a picture for her streaks before she hugged us again. She then walked off and I checked my phone to find all kinds of videos and pictures of Sam changing the hoodies. I laughed lightly and shook my head, and Sam looked over my shoulder.

"They saw mr chest in person oh my god" he joked quietly as we laughed before taking more pictures and meeting more fans. Then we got time to walk around, and I decided to wear the bejeweled ears. Sam had his fingers laced with mine as we walked around and bumped into fans who hadn't made it to the show but saw everyone else's, and our, posts.

"Aww you guys are so cute. Were honestly so happy you guys felt comfortable enough to tell all of us the truth. About everything." One girl said with a smile. I watched Sam blush and smile as I wrapped an arm around him.

"That honestly means a lot to us. It was really hard to come out but I think we feel better now that it's out."

"So we have furry and princess fuck boy. Lovely to know that our competition has only gotten worse. Too bad that kills brolby" I whirled around in shock to see Brice and Mikey. I took my ears off and handed them to Sam as I growled.

"Really? Do you two assholes have nothing better to do?" I hissed as I glared at them.

"Uh oh the claws are out. Be careful"
Bryce teased with a smirk as they laughed. "Come on kitty lets play a game"

"Oh we can play a game. You just don't like how it'll end." Bryce growled and jumped at me    But I stepped out of the way and grabbed him and put him in a head lock and slowly started to get him to pass out. "Easy east Bryce. We don't want problems, we're just gonna take a nice nap, that's it go to sleep there you go" soon he was out and people were watching as I stepped back but thankfully not a single phone was out. Sam walked over to me and placed the ears on my head before he pet my head.

"Let's just go back kitten." I nodded and picked him up, carrying him back to the hotel as fans watched us go. Someone must have posted about it because I saw fans that waved and walked past us, didn't even try to stop us. That's when you know you have a true fandom right there. When they know something was off, they knew to back off which meant the world to me.

    When we got back to the hotel I set sam down on the bed and then walked to the bathroom to shower. I sat there for a good fourth five minutes as I sighed trying to clear my head. What if that's how people's really viewed us? What if we had fans who really thought we were just doing this for fame? That none of it was real and we were faking it? How many fans would be left now that everything was out? Five thousand? Three thousand?
One thousand? I acted so calm And confident so sam wouldn't freak out but I was scared. I was fearing the fact that very few people would actually like us now and I couldn't live with the thought of failing Sam like that. I couldn't think about ruining everything we had worked so hard for, everything that we built to help others just crumble all because of who we really are. I've seen so many people torn down for coming out, and some of it wasn't even about sexuality, it was about beliefs and religion and illnesses. I could only imagine what they do to closets. I somehow was able to push my thoughts to the side for now to finish my shower and get dressed. I slipped into comfy shorts and dried my hair before sighing and opening the door to the bathroom. When I walked back over to our bed I never expected to see what I did in that moment
