Standing By (Avi Kaplan fan fic)

Nineteen

Avi chuckled after Kevin comment. Him not really knowing what actually happened against the kitchen counter has giving Avi the advantage of amusement. I hid own my blush as I scooped up the now cooked food and placed it on the counter. Kevin's eyes lit up as a large smile spread across his face, just as Avi himself. "Food glorious food." Avi sand. His deep voice a soothing contrast with song, Kevin even dropped a simple beat to the short sentence as if they had done it before. They both snickered like it was an inside joke and quickly sat down. I even did myself.

After we finished we began a civil conversation that involved the tour. I thanked Mitch, Scott, and Kirstie silently in my head for getting all those clothes for me. I felt very guilty after it and all. I don't want them to have to spend all there hard earned money on me. But they insisted. "I tie you t a rack if you don't let us." Is what Scott insisted after I began to silently mumble to myself. I turned my gaze to Avi in Kevin. There speaking had suddenly turned to whispers and small smirks. I cleared my throats at them and raised a pointed eyebrow. Avi smiled along with Kevin and he removed three objects from his pocket. "Speaking of the tour." He began. My eyes fell over the tickets on his hands and a small yelp of excitement fell from my mouth as I jumped from my chair and began to dance. But that was cut short. I ran over and began to clean up the food and dirty dishes. Trying not to move my hips in complete and utter excitement. "My hips don't lie..." Avi sang. I laughed at his comment. The sound of footsteps perked up my ears and I turned to see Avi was stalking behind me. His knees bent and hands out stretched to my side in order to try and tackle me. "How did you hear me?" I asked. I didn't smile at this. For over the years it had become my specialty to listen and hear John's footsteps. So I could prepare for my next beating. "I just listen really well." I finished soothingly.
