👻 : THIRTY THREE!

"YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE WATCH HORROR MOVIES LATE AT NIGHT."

Michael shrugs and curls up closer to Tyler as he cheers on Zorua, smiling at the tiny animated fox that talks for some reason.

"We have taste." He says with a smile. "And hey, I'm with you, I must have taste."

Tyler rolls his eyes a little at Michael's sheer cheesiness, as he leans down to kiss his boyfriend again. It's kind of amazing for him to sit back and realise that the man who pretty much single-handedly caused Tyler's sexual awakening is now lying next to him, smiling like an idiot because he knows how good he has it.

"Love you. Well, no, actually I hate you and your dumb ass not knowing enough about Pokémon for my liking, but also I love you." Michael says, and Tyler can literally feel himself about to cry.

"I love you too."

The door flies open almost as soon as the words come out of his mouth: Luke looks almost breathless, before he composes himself and smiles at the two of them in turn.

"Luke? What's wrong?" Michael is sat bolt upright now, his hair a tangled mess. It's obvious that Luke jumps to conclusions, but he doesn't say anything.

The younger boy shrugs a little, leaning back against the wall as he runs his hair through his hair. "I- Uh, Ashton said to tell you that we have to go and set up. For the show."

Tyler's mood instantly changes at this - he was sort of looking forwards to cuddling with his boyfriend for a few hours, maybe watching a film, maybe just talking. Michael's always so caught up with touring and band stuff, that it was rare they got to be alone together. Of course, he knew dating a band member would come with all of this, but it still hurts.

"Right, right, I'm coming." Michael says wearily, standing up from the bed. "Sorry, Ty. You, you can come with, if you want? They can't argue with me, since Luke woke me up."

Tyler agrees, following Michael out of the room and through every maze-like corridor out of their hotel and towards the stadium. He feels slightly exposed just tailing him, but keeps his eyes down and eventually laces his hand with Michael's.

"Mikey, I'll be in the audience, OK? I'm Block K, so right in the middle. I hate standing, so... Yeah." At first he isn't sure if the older boy hears him, but he eventually pulls Tyler forwards to walk next to him.

"Of course! See you later." After a slight moment of hesitation, Michael leans in to kiss him lightly. "Love you!"
