Kellin's POV:
I was in complete awe at how amazing the guy -Vic's- band was. He only told me they were alright. Honest Quinn right now? They were incredible. Way better than Vic made them out to be. I could tell he was nervous about it. The crowd loved Pierce The Veil though. The lyrics to the song, what was it, Bulletproof Love? Were really something else. You can tell he puts thoughts into what he writes.
I was smiling a huge ear-to-ear smile but that soon dropped as I saw Vic practically bolt off stage once the song was over. He looked really..upset? Oh no. It can't be because he thinks the crowd doesn't like it. They loved it! What if I pushed him too far? Jesus Christ Kellin! You only just met the guy! Now he probably doesn't even want to talk with you anymore. Good going.
I rushed through the large -well, for a bar- crowd to try and follow the short Mexican dude. Man, he moves fast.
"Vic!" I shouted over the other, now chatting, people's voices. I got no response.
While weaving through the crowd I didn't see the bathroom door open. That place has seen more man tears than anywhere else, I swear. I myself have even cried in there. We won't talk about it though because we must find Vic. He's more important than my past stupid feelings. Straight men, eh?
Thinking back, I do think I recall the bar door opening from the inside, indicating someone left. Might as well try. I'd feel awful if something happened to him.
I rushed out the door and onto the side walk of the busy street.
"Vic?" I tried again. This time I was rewarded with a sniffling sound coming from the little allyway next to Decode.
Moving closer towards the sniffling sound, I noticed it was Vic and he was curled up in a tiny little ball. If we were in a different situation I could call him cute.
I sat down beside him and hugged him close. "What's wrong? Tell Dr. Quinn what's wrong." I said in a some-what joking matter.
"Fuck off." He muttered, pushing me off him. Um, no.
"Ha," I started. "Not until you tell me what's bothering you." I generally do care for people. Unless they're jerks. They can fend for themselves.
I feel like with Vic though, I care a little more than I should. At least right now. I mean, I only just met the guy and here I am, outside, in an allyway after inviting him and his band on stage to preform a song. I normally only just let people sit at the bar and cry to me about how awful their breakup or some shit was. I rarely follow them outside.
"Seriously, Kellin. Go away." He said, a bit more agitated this time. I just rolled my eyes. I am going to find out what was wrong whether this kid likes it or not.
"I'm not a kid. Stop calling me that." He grumbled. I blushed. Wait what? I'm blushing? Ugh.
"Did I say that outloud?" I asked, trying to maybe lighten the mood.
"Yes, you did. Now go away." Okay, not so much.
Vic'sPOV:
I cannot believe him. He forced me into performing in front of a semi-large crowd without knowing a thing about me, then he comes looking for me like he actually cares! Ha! Yeah, right. I wish he'd just leave me alone.
"Listen Vic, I'm sorry for whatever I did", Kellin said to me.
I whip my head around to face him, "You don't even know what you did?!"
"Not really, would you tell me?"
This is ridiculous.
"You forced me into a position I didn't want to be in. Ever. You forced me onto the stage where I had no choice but to perform! You didn't bother warning me or even asking me! What the hell?! Then you follow me out here to be the "nice guy" like you actually care! Fuck. Off." I was pretty much screaming at this point.
"I do care! More than I probably should...", he trailed off.
"What?", I didn't know what to say, or how to respond to that.
He looks down and blushes, "I think I like you, Vic."
He actually likes me?! Well, what am I supposed to do now? Ugh. Boys!
"I.. I think I like you too."
Kellin looks up at me and smiles brightly. I can't help but smile back. His smile.. It's infectious. Oh who am I kidding, I can't stay mad at him.
He quickly stands up, grabs my arms and pulls me to my feet.
"Now what?", I ask
"We go back inside, I guess."
"Okay..", I hesitated
Kellin gives me a questioning look but I just ignore him and walk over to the door. He opens it for me and we walk in together. Mike walks up to me with his face lighting up like a Christmas tree.
"We did great!!", he exclaimed, "we should do more gigs like this!"
"Uh..", but I once again got interrupted.
"I'll talk to my boss about maybe some more shows... I mean, if you're up for it Vic", Kellin said.
To be totally honest I sort of liked the feeling I had up there and now that I see that the crowd didn't totally reject us, maybe.
I nod my head slightly, smile and say
"Yeah, maybe"
