Band One-Shots (Open!)

You... You Like Me? (Angelo Parente)

  I sat inside the venue with my best friend Valetta as we unpacked a few boxes of merch and organized it for sale.

  Valetta and I were merch girls for my big brother Chris's band Motionless In White, which is surprising since Chris is very protective of me.

  I cut open a box and started pulling out a few shirts, placing them on the table neatly, as Valetta asked, "Are you ever gonna tell him?"

  I cringed, knowing exactly what she meant by the question. "I... I don't think so." I answered sadly, tying my dark hair in a ponytail.

  "Uh, yeah you are." she retorted, "Or I'm doing it for you." I shot up like an arrow. "Val you can't! He'll tell Chris, and Chris'll kill me!" I protested.

  If Chris had any idea that I had a major crush on Angelo, my ass would SO be grass!

  Valetta rolled her eyes, brushing back a piece of her bright red hair. "If you tell Ang you like him, then I'll confess to TJ that I like him. Deal?"

  I bit my lip hesitantly, thinking it over, and shook my head. "I can't risk Chris getting mad at me, Val. Besides, how would I even tell him?

  "And he'll probably think I'm pathetic for it anyways..." Valetta smacked my arm. "Oh shut the fuck up, you are not pathetic, nor is he the type of guy to think that!" she argued.

  "Angelo is a sweet guy, and I don't see why he wouldn't have mutual feelings for you, but even if he didn't, I know he'd be really nice about it."

  I sighed and continued unpacking silently; arguing with Valetta is pointless. "Seriously Jenna, will you at least consider it?" she tried again.

  "Alright, I'll think about it, okay?" I snapped at her, and a huge grin appeared on her face. "Good."

*After the show*

  "Great job tonight girls, let's start packing up!" Josh said tiredly. The show had been super hectic, so now that the venue had been cleared of fans, we wanted to get our shit and go.

  "Fucking finally!!!" Valetta exclaimed, jumping out of her chair to grab a box. I laughed at her as Angelo came over, making my heart beat faster.

  "Hey Ang." Valetta greeted him, giving me a sly smile. "Hey Val!" he smiled, "Hey Jenna." he added, smiling warmly as he gave me a hug. I love his hugs so much; it's like being hugged by a teddy bear.

  "Can I talk to you?" Angelo asked nervously, "Alone?" I looked at Valetta helplessly, and she pushed me towards him. "Go on ya pussy, I can pack up!" she giggled.

  I sighed and allowed Angelo to lead me outside, away from everyone. He seemed kinda awkward, but like he was trying to appear confident. "What's up?" I asked curiously.

  He looked at the ground and shuffled his feet as he quietly said, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you...."

  I tensed immediately. He probably figured out I like him, and doesn't want anything to do with me! Fuckity fuck Mcfuck fuck! "What is it?" I asked fearfully in a low voice.

  He mumbled something unintelligible, still looking at the ground, so I asked him to repeat it. "I really like you..." he murmured, finally giving me a shy smile.

  My jaw dropped through the ground to the Earth's core. Angelo motherfucking Parente, has a crush on ME? Oh my fucking God. "You... You like me?" I questioned in disbelief.

  He nodded, looking at the ground again. "Yeah, a lot, actually... I've just been scared to tell you, since you're Chris's little sister.. Besides, you probably don't see me as more than a friend... Fuck I'm an idiot."

  Angelo tried to walk back inside, past me, but I stopped him. "Ang, wait!" I cried, pulling on his arm. "What?" he asked sadly, turning to face me.

  In a sudden moment of braveness, I lightly pressed my lips to his. "I like you too, Angelo." I smiled at him,leaning my forehead against his. He smiled back, wrapping his arms around my waist.

  I wrapped my arms around his neck happily as he gave me a quick kiss, smiling into it. "Jenna?" he whispered. "Mhmm?"

  Angelo pulled away slightly to look me in the eyes so he could say, "May I please be your boyfriend?" I got a smile so big I'm amazed my face could hold it as I answered, "Yes, of course you can!"

  Angelo grinned largely and peppered my cheeks with kisses, making me giggle and blush. "Come on beautiful, let's head back inside." he suggested.

  I smiled and laced my fingers with his after giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, then we walked inside.

  We were greeted instantly by the sight of TJ pinning Valletta to the wall while they sucked face. Guess she told him after all. Chris walked into the room a moment later.

  "Get a room." he chuckled at the two of them, then noticed Angelo and I holding hands. "That had better not be what I think it is." he snarled.

  "And if it is?" I shot back. He growled, balling his hands into fists. "Parente, I will fucking KILL you, if you EVER defile my little sister. Do you understand?"

  Angelo smirked and broke away from me to whisper something to Chris, who growled and stomped away. "What did you say?" I questioned.

  Angelo wrapped his arms around my waist as he said, "I told him he won't be able to stop me from making love to you for the first time on our wedding night."
