Alans POV

It had been almost two weeks since Austin left on his trip to Costa Rica to get away from it all. I didn’t blame him though, things lately were crazy since Warped ended. Things with Shayley and the press was getting worse each day. Lost in his own thoughts Alan waited outside of terminal A-B in his black Toyota looking for his best friend. After what felt like forever he finally saw him. He jumped out of the car and walked over to him smiling. 

“Hey there, long time no see” he teased hugging Austin tightly. Austin looked wrecked, you could tell he was away. His hair was grown out a bit longer and his face was covered with little black stubbly hair. 

That’s kinda cute, I like when he doesn’t shave for a while and he grows his hair out. What?! What the hell Alan this is your best friend.

“So you miss me?” Austin asked, interrupting Alan from arguing with himself.

“Nope!” He said with a teasing smile “Of course I did! Youre my best friend, how could I not miss you?” 

“Damn right you better have missed me!” Austin exclaimed “Now take me the fuck home so I can see my hot wife” he smirked then walked over to Alans car.

Alan felt his heart drop slightly at Austin talking about Gielle, why though? Did I actually feel something more than just a friend for Austin? I mean I knew I was never completely straight but Austin was just a friend and he needed to stay that way.

Alan walked over and unlocked the trunk for Austin and put his bags in for him

“Jesus what did you pack a fucking house?!” He asked struggling slightly as he put the bag in 

“Mayyybbeee” Austin said smiling and helped him with the bag. They walked around to either side of the car and got in, Alan of course being the one to drive

“So what did you miss the most? Me or me?” he asked putting on his seat belt and began to drive out of the chaotic airport

“Well I missed being in America overall, but I did miss you of course and Gielle and Tino and Phil and just everything! It was nice to get away but Im ready to get back to work on music” Austin said but Alan wasn’t really paying any attention. He was lost in his own thoughts again.

He says that he misses me, does he just miss me as a friend? Or does he feel something too? What am I kidding. For one Hes married Alan, to a beautiful woman. And two even if he did like guys why would he fall for someone like you?

“Uh, Alan?” Austin asked staring over at him

“Hmm?” He mumbled shaking his thoughts away quickly. 

“You ok?” Austin asked, you could hear how concerned he was in his voice 

“Yeah man, just zoning out I guess” He smiled over at Austin before paying back attention to the road. Austin turned on the radio and Yellowcard started playing. Austin hummed along to the song and Alan rested his left arm on the edge of the window and extended his right arm in order to drive. Austin glanced over to see several bruises and small cuts on Alans arm

“Oh my god Alan, what the hell happened to you?!” Austin asked with wide eyes

“Uh nothing” He responded with pink cheeks, he quickly pulled down his sleeves

“Alan, youre seriously just gonna sit there and lie to me?” 

“I got into a bar fight! You know how I am when I get drunk” he admitted, but it wasn’t the truth and he was hoping Austin didn’t catch on to that.

“Well. Yeahh” Austin said in a relieved tone, he leaned his head against the window and began to drift off to sleep.

Alan let out a sigh and continued driving with the faint sound of the radio playing. He looked over at Austin 

Damn he looked so precious when he slept, the way his face twitched every so often and how long his eye lashes were when his eyes were closed. Alan sighed knowing he’d never have a chance.

He pulled up to Austins house where he saw Gielles car but another one that he didn’t recognize, he shrugged it off and gently began to shake Austin up

“Huh what I didn’t do it” Austin mumbled sleepily

Alan laughed “We’re at your house now get the fuck outta my car” He teased

“Dick head” Austin mumbled getting out of the car. 

Alan laughed and helped get Austins bags out of the trunk and walked him to the door

“Text me later if you wanna hang” Alan said with a smile

“Why would I want to hang out with you?” Austin asked with a  digusted look

“Oh ow Im so hurt” Alan responded grabbing at his chest where his heart is.

They both laughed and gave each other a tight hug 

“Ill probably call you later man”

“Alrighty Ill be home looking at pictures of cats on the internet” Alan said as he began to walk away. Austin just shook his head as he searched for his keys in his pocket. He found them and unlocked the door. He walked inside and took in a deep breath “Good to be home” He said to himself. He saw a shirt on the ground in front of him but thought nothing of it “Gielle? Baby Im home” He called out walking towards the kitchen, not in there. He continued walking and found more articles of clothing. Some being guys clothes and he didn’t recognize them to be his 

“Baby?” He called out again 

He heard the faint sounds of moaning coming from their bedroom. Austin swallowed hard before slowly opening the bedroom door “What the fuck are you doing?!” He shouted
