"Break a leg, baby!"

Scott turns around and smiles at Mark. He walks back towards him and gives him a quick kiss, and a "Thank you, babe," before walking onstage with the rest of the group.

Mark likes to stand in the wings while Scott performs on tour. Doesn't like to eat up a seat in the audience that someone is paying for, except for maybe once per tour, when his family gets tickets.

Today, Leigh is there with him, and they chat quietly while the concert is going on.

"Oh my god, this is my favorite," Mark says, "Shh."

Leigh laughs, but watches the band perform. She sees why it's Mark's favorite when he smiles.

"Oh my god, Mark!"

"Shhhhh!!"

"Mark, you're with Scott every night of tour. You will hear them sing it on Tuesday." Leigh says.

Mark gives Leigh a look. "What?"

Leigh smiles. "You totally think it's hot when Scott takes over Matt's part."

Mark shrugs. "Not really," he says. "I just like the song."

"Yes you do," Leigh says, "Don't lie to me, Mark. I like it when Kevin gets to sing instead of beatbox," she explains. "But you totally think it's hot when Scott sings bass!"

Mark smiles. "Okay, you got me."

Leigh laughs. "That's actually so cute, Mark! Does he know?"

"No," Mark says. "Why? I guess I never thought to tell him."

Leigh laughs again. "I think you should tell him. It could be to your advantage," she winks.

"Leigh, you dirty girl!"

"What's this?" A voice asks. Mark turns his head to see Scott, sipping from a water bottle. "Why is Leigh...a dirty girl?"

Mark and Leigh laugh.

"Mark will tell you after the show." Leigh says.

"How long do you have?" Mark grabs Scott's free hand, ignoring Leigh's comment.

"Kevin's about halfway through his cello solo," Scott says. "Which you would know about if you were listening," Scott teases.

"Just c'mere," Mark says, giving Scott a quick kiss. "That's all I wanted."

"Hate to break it up, lovebirds, but we're on in a few seconds, Scott," Matt says.

"Love you, babe," Scott waves, and then they're back on stare.

"You have to tell him," Leigh says.

"I will when I want to," Mark says.

"I'll get you to tell him," Leigh teases. "Oh look, Sound of Silence is next," she fake gasps.

Mark elbows her, but listens intently.

About 30 minutes later, the concert is over, and the band is coming offstage.

"Hi, sweetheart," Scott smiles, wrapping his arms around Mark's waist.

"Hi, angel," Mark says, smiling. "You sounded amazing tonight," he continues.

"Thanks, sweetheart," Scott bends down to steal a kiss. "Now, what was this about Leigh being a dirty girl....?"

Mark rolls his eyes. "I was hoping you'd forget about that."

Scott chuckles. "It almost made me laugh during the set."

Mark sighs. "I told Leigh that I think it's really hot when you sing bass," Mark says. "Like when Matt has a solo, or in Sound of Silence."

"Oh?" Scott asks. "Hmm. I'll note that. File it away for...important things." He winks.

Mark laughs. "That's basically what Leigh said."

It's Scott's turn to laugh now. "So, singing bass, huh?" He asks.

Mark blushes. "Scotty," he whines, burying his face into Scott's chest.

Scott kisses Mark's hair and grabs his chin. "Come on, let's get back to the hotel."
