I sat in the Waterparks bus scrolling through my phone on my secret fan account. Awsten plopped down on the couch next to me, just as I scrolled past a picture edit of myself.

"Stalking fan accounts?" He asked.

"Yep. Incognito." I showed him my fan account profile.

"I'm your profile picture."

"Yeah, because you're pretty," I said as Geoff walked in.

"Stop being cute you're making me miss my girlfriend." He said, not looking up from his phone.

"Are you playing Pokèmon Go?" Awsten asked. Geoff smiled.

"Maybe," He replied. "There's a Charmander somewhere around here and I really wanna catch it,"

"Oh Charmander's cool. I remember when I was like 13 I played Pokemon all the time and Charmander was one of my first Pokemon. It evolved into a Charizard. I named it Flameo."

"You named it Flame-o?" Awsten laughed.

"No, Flameo. Flay-me-oh." I pronounced it slowly for him.

"I didn't know you were such a Pokemon nerd," He smiled.

"I played it a lot when I was younger. And watched all the shows. And the movies. And had posters. I still do have posters actually. But they're framed now, because I'm an adult."

"Because adults have framed Pokèmon posters," Awsten laughed. I faked being offended.

"Yeah, obviously. I frame my posters and say they're collectibles. Which they are."

"How are they collectibles? Are collectible posters even a thing?"

"They're all special edition bullshit from like 2003 or something. And they're probably way more valuable now because they're vintage."

"You mean they're old?"

"No. They're vintage." I looked up at Awsten.

"2003 isn't vintage." He rolled his eyes.

"It is though."

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"That's not how this works."

"It is now."

"But it's not."

"But it is."

"Will you stop arguing please?" Otto walked in.

"Tell him my special edition Pokémon posters from 2003 are vintage and then I'll stop arguing." Otto sighed.

"Hey Alex, don't you have an album coming out tomorrow?" Geoff changed the subject.

"Oh yeah. I forgot. We do have an album coming out tomorrow."

"What's your favorite song on it?" Awsten asked, hugging my waist.

"Probably either Run and Hide or Top of the World."

"Which do you think is the saddest?"

"Oh damn. They're all pretty sad. Probably either The A Team or For the Love of a Daughter."

"CAN YOU GIVE US SPECIAL EARLY ACCESS?" Awsten yelled.

"I don't have them all, but I could show you Run and Hide, because I wrote it and I've been working on it for a while." I pulled out my phone.

"YAY!" Awsten yelled again. He got up and got a speaker. I pulled out my phone and played them the song.

(The song I'm using is Run and Hide by Sabrina Carpenter but I can't get the YouTube video to load so if you want to listen to it you have to look it up on your own)

After the song finished, I looked at Awsten, searching for an opinion.

"I love it!" He exclaimed.

"Really?" I asked, skeptical.

He looked at me, impressed. "Yeah! You wrote that?" I nodded, smiling.

"I'm very proud of it."

"You should be," He pulled me closer and kissed my cheek.

"Stop being cute. It's disgusting." I laughed at Awsten.
