Toxic Valentine [All Time Low fic]

Teasing and Tacos

“Inquisitive and thoughtful,
she was the challenge he'd been waiting for;
a reminder that creativity runs deep like secrets.
Dark eyed dreamers; they were a dangerous pair,
Q next to U scribbled out on paper...
They stop
They go
They're done.

Go back to the place we knew before
retrace our steps to the basement door,
I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile,
Like so much time that we spent in the fall
it put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold,
Preceding what became our bitter end.

Round in circles -- lets start over,
Round in circles -- lets start over.”

Alex’s voice echoed throughout the basement and the rest of the house he took a few glances over at Roo smiling as he sung some lyrics, Jack well was just being Jack, jumping around as he strummed the guitar he would also glance at Shay a few times nearly messing up his tune but laughs it off each time it happens Roo continued to stare at Alex watching and listening.

“Unanswered questions would be the only thing to stop them now...
He was the poet while she wasthe muse,
but she had a pen that she knew how to use,
with a touch of redemption, a hint of elation;
a recipe for disaster.

Go back to the place we knew before
retrace our steps to thebasement door,
I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile,
Like so much time that we spent in the fall
it put color in our cheeks while the air turned cold,
Preceding what became our bitter end.

Let this be a lesson to us all..”

The music stopped Jack grinned putting his guitar down leaning down pecking Shay’s lips softly his forehead against her own smiling as he looked into her bluish green eyes.

“Alright lover boy, we have to get back to practice”

Jack groaned pecking Shay’s lips quickly before grabbing his guitar again he looked over smiling as the lyrics

“Safe little house, safe little friends,
Safe little thoughts to keep you safe
From all those big bad wolves that eat you up.
(oh shit)
Safe in your room,
Safe as a tomb,
Sleep in a coffin made of glass.
It takes a big facade to hide your cries?”

The practice went on for a good two hours once over everyone gathered in the kitchen, Jack had his arms around Shay from behind his chin resting on top of her head, Alex was leaning against the counter next to Roo sipping A Rock star energy drink.

“I say we both gather up in both cars and either gets pizza or Taco Bell or we split up in both cars.” Alex announced.

Jack smirked, “Taco Bell!”

Everyone else agreed Zack and Rian went in one car with their girlfriends, Roo, Alex Shay and Jack went into Roo’s car, Roo smirked staring in the rearview mirror back at Shay and Jack, “Now no making out in my car, I think you two had enough for one day.” Jack stuck out his tongue.

Everyone arrived at taco bell 30 minutes later they all met up at the door laughing and joking around, as they walked inside they stood in line trying to figure out what they wanted to eat this time.

“Jacky don’t you work tomorrow?”

Jack grunted, “Fuck yeah I do.” he whimpered wrapping his arms around Shay’s waist from behind, a smile on her face.
