Band One-Shots (Open!)

Protect Your Kingdom (Josh Balz and Devin 'Ghost' Sola)

"Will you four give it a rest!" Ryan groaned. I felt myself blush as I buried my face into Balz's neck.

Balz and I were being "cute" and "cuddly," as were Chris and Ricky, since we were about to go on stage and play a show.

Yes, Balz and I are a couple, as are Chris and Ricky. Congratulations shippers and psychotic fangirls, you've won.

"You're just jealous that we have our significant others and Allie is at home." Balz smirked before kissing the top of my head.

"Am not!" Ryan whined. "Are too!" Chris argued. He was about to protest further when our tour manager, Josh, told us to get our "gay and straight asses on the stage."

We went and played through our show, opening with Reincarnate and closing with Immaculate Misconception.

After the show, I got an unfortunate surprise as I made my way back to the car with Balz, since it was a local show while we're getting ready for tour.

My ex girlfriend Kylie was there, looking pissed off. I left her to be with Balz, and she hadn't taken it well.

"Hello Devin." She gave a wicked smile as she spoke, her voice dripping with anger. "Hey Kylie." I mumbled, looking at the ground as Balz wrapped a protective arm around me.

"I see you're still with fag-boy over here. When are you gonna wise up and get back with ME?" Kylie scowled.

"Excuse me?!" Balz exclaimed as I murmured, "I'm not, Kylie... You and I are done..."

She laughed bitterly and opened her mouth to speak, but Balz interrupted her.

"Look here bitch. I never liked you from the start cuz let's face it, you're a fucking whore.

"Devin does not want you anymore, and I doubt he ever will again, especially with how you're acting right now.

"The fact is, I'm with Devin now, and I plan on keeping things that way for as long as possible. You will NOT get in my fucking way!"

Her eyes were wide and she nodded slowly. "Alright then, have it your fucking way." she muttered, lowering her gaze.

Kylie started to walk away, but stopped to look at me. "There's really no hope for me anymore?" she whimpered.

I shook my head nervously as Balz answered, "NO, Kylie!" She bit her lip and walked away from us.

"I'm sorry baby.." Balz sighed, hugging me tightly to his chest. I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his shoulder.

"Hey guys!" Ricky called. I stayed as I was while Balz greeted him and Chris. "Everything okay?" Ricky asked, and I felt his hand on my shoulder.

I shrugged while Balz explained what had happened, and I felt my eyes well with tears.

I should've been the one to tell her off, Balz shouldn't have had to do it. That's not fair to him. She's my ex, not his.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered to Balz, hugging him tighter as one tear fell. "What'd he say?" I heard Chris mumble to Balz.

Balz didn't answer him, at least not directly. "Baby why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong." he asked, rocking me from side to side.

"I should've stood up to her, not made you do it." I sniffled. "Devin it's okay, he did it cuz he wanted to, right?" Ricky said soothingly.

"Do I ever do anything I don't want to?" Balz laughed, making me giggle. I lifted my head to smile at him, so he wiped my tear away before kissing my forehead.

"Don't worry about it baby." he told me, and I nodded. "So what are your plans for tonight?" Chris asked us.

I looked to Balz for an answer. "Us four are heading to my place for movies." he answered.

"Oh are we?" Chris laughed, "Cuz I was hoping for me and Ricky to-" "Christopher!" Ricky interrupted, embarrassed.

Balz and I both laughed, and Balz whispered, "Wanna talk them into a four-way?"

My eyes widened as my cheeks went red. "Do I even wanna know?" Ricky questioned, and I shook my head, both at him and Balz.

"So my place, let's go!" Balz chirped. Balz and I got into his car, since we drove together, and Ricky and Chris drove in Chris's car to Balz's place.

We all headed inside and took turns in the bathroom quickly washing off our body paint, then grabbed food from the kitchen before settling in the living room.

"What movie?" Balz asked, pulling me onto his lap so he was holding me like a massive baby on the loveseat.

"I'm in a Nightmare Before Christmas mood." Ricky spoke. "Uh hello, Lost Boys!" Chris scoffed at him.

"I was actually asking as a courtesy." Balz smirked, "We're watching Beetlejuice for my baby."

He already had the movie in the DVD player, so he hit play, and we all cuddled with our boyfriends till we all eventually fell asleep.
