Jayy’s POV
We'll make it through to the other side
As we sang the last line to rise and shine I looked over towards Dahvie, behind his vampire red contacts I could see the usual glint he got in his eyes whilst performing on stage. I’m sure there was no one as dedicated to his fans as Dahvie, except Andy Biersack, I heard he broke three ribs when he fell during a performance once but just got back up and finished the show. Dahvie was just like that, the only reason he would stop performing is when he was physically and mentally unable to, and even then I’m sure he’d find a way.
“Thanks for coming we love you all, Stay strong!” he shouted to the crowd of screaming fans, as we waved and ran off stage. God I needed a shower, I loved performing just like Dahvie but all that running, jumping and god knows what else under those red hot stage lights, let’s just say it got really hot and sweaty on stage. We walked back to the bus in silence as we were to out of breath to even speak. The doors of the bus slowly opened and before my brain had time to register Dahvie leapt on to the bus in front of me, ‘bagsy the shower’, he shouted sticking his tongue out at me just before he disappeared into the bus. I didn’t mind it just meant I had more time to relax, I mean it would take me a while to get actually on the bus as my legs felt as though they were gonna drop off if I lifted them just a centimetre off the ground never mind the 3 inches to the first step onto the bus.
When I was finally on the bus I allowed my body to just collapse onto the sofa and closed my eyes, I knew Dahvie was gonna be a while he always was, it made me wonder what he did in there, oh no bad images, urgh. Ok so maybe they weren’t bad images, I mean I am gay after all and have seen naked men before but Dahvie was my best friend, no, he was more than that, way more, he was family. We were so close, we were inseparable, and everyone was always saying we’d make a cute couple but that would never be the case for multiple reasons but mainly because Dahvie was straight and even if he wasn’t he wouldn’t go for someone like me, that broke my heart a little, I don’t know why.
Dahvie’s POV
I stood in the shower and just let the hot water hit my aching body, still coming down from the high of performing. Smirking slightly to myself at the fact that I beat Jayy to the shower, not that it would of mattered, by the time I’d have got all my things ready and sorted he would have been out the shower anyway, he must literally get in wash and get out. I prefer to relax in there, the silence and the warmth allows me to think about things, from my family to my fans, from my troubles to the things that were perfect in my life. One of these things was Jayy, in a weird way I felt myself attracted to him, not in a sexual way but not exactly in just a brotherly best friend way. Though to me that was exactly what we were, yet I couldn’t shake the feeling.
When we first met we hit it off straight away, we had lots in common and really enjoyed each other’s company, ever since we have been really close. We were always together having a laugh, the only times we weren’t together was when I was performing, he even came along to our band practise. Though when I was performing I would miss him . . . a lot. Again I didn’t know why but now he was the other half of the band it felt right, like this was exactly how it should be, it was perfect.
I moved slightly in the shower almost slipping on its wet floor, this brought me to my senses and I realised I’d been stood in the shower for a good half an hour now and all I’d done is think about Jayy, god he must be getting impatient now wanting to get cleaned up. I quickly washed myself down and jumped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist as I went. I opened the door to the bathroom and shouted to Jayy that the shower was free before walking to my bunk and getting dried and dressed.
Once I was dressed I realised I hadn’t heard Jayy go into the bathroom, so I went to check to see if he’d not heard me. As I walked into the large spacious area of the bus we used as a sort of living room I could see Jayy was fast asleep on the sofa, he looked so peaceful and kinda cute. Why on earth did I just think that I asked myself, not that I hadn’t thought it before, it was just the way that thought seemed to sound in my head, like a little girl with her first crush.
I was soon snapped out of my thoughts when somehow I went from standing still to tripping backwards, I knocked a dish off the edge of the table that was behind me which smashed on the floor loudly. The noise woke Jayy from his sleep. “Sorry”, I apologised as he rubbed his eyes, “I just came to tell you the shower’s free”. “It’s okay, I only dozed off for like a sec cause you were taking forever as per”, he laughed as he stood up and stretched before making his way to the shower.
