The Inconsistency of Nothingness

"And here we are with the fastest rising band in America, The Dream Team! Thank you so much for joining us today," the interviewer smiled into the camera.

Dream smiled back. "Thank you so much for having us!"

They spent the next ten minutes or so answering the basic questions. So how did you come up with your band name? How did you all meet? Tell me about your next album. They were all questions that they expected going into it; it was obvious from the moment walking in that no one in the interview room actually knew or cared about who they were. They probably looked up all their names ten minutes before they walked in, and were only interviewing them because they were starting to show up in the charts. It wasn't until the interviewer decided to prod them about their love lives that the interview took a sour turn.

"So are all you bachelors single," the blonde woman asked as she leaned forward. It was a standard question with bands, and they all knew that it was coming.

"I'm currently seeing someone," Nick answered.

"Dream and I are single," George smiled.

"Really? Because there's rumors going around that Dream is known to be the playboy of the group." Nick looked over to Clay and could see that he was getting visibly uncomfortable for a split second, but he quickly recovered and put on his mask.

"Haha, well I don't know about that," Clay answered as he composed himself. He knew getting into this business that it wasn't going to be easy, and he needed to keep up his image for the cameras. He needed to do well in this interview for the group.

"I mean, there's thousands of girls who throw themselves at you guys in a heartbeat, surely you're not completely off the market."

There was a pause as the band thought of how to respond. Nick decided to jump in, "well, we're really busy making music so we don't have too much time for relationships. Even with my girlfriend it's difficult to keep a steady relationship with her due to how busy I am."

The interviewer kept pressing. "So does that mean you guys would be open to date fans? The people want to know!"

"I mean there's always the possibility..." Dream trailed off. "I must say that we have a lot of beautiful fans," Dream winked at the camera. He knew how to play the cards in his favor. This business depended on fan service, and he knew how to deliver.

George winced at Clay's response. "I don't think I would ever date a fan."

"Oh? Why not?" the interviewer asked as she acted dramatically surprised.

"It's just that it's a little odd since it's not an even playing ground. There's a power imbalance," George said, jabbing at Clay's response a bit.

"Oh, that's too bad! I'm sure there are girls lining up outside the studio to get with you! Anyways, there's kind of a joke amongst your fans that Clay and George have a lot of chemistry together. How do you two feel about Gream?"

Clay laughed, "we're just really good friends. We don't mind that fans ship us together, but we're both straight."

"What about you, George? Have you ever had any feelings for Clay?"

George blushed. He couldn't deny that his best friend was very attractive, but Clay has been his best friend since they were kids. There was no way he felt anything towards him. "No, we're just friends."

"Let's go into our next segment, the most retweeted tweet under out post asking for questions was by user greamlover. They asked if George could kiss Dream on the cheek." George's face heated up, "umm, I don't know if I can do that."
