By the time we watched about three episodes, Dan had fallen asleep on my lap and I didn't have the heart to wake him up so he could go home. He could just stay with me, I mean, it's not like he hasn't done that before. Plus, who knows how much alone time I'll get to spend with him over the next two or so months. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone vibrating so I grabbed it and quickly answered the call once I saw it was Will. "Hello?"

"Kyle, why are you talking so quietly?" Will practically whispered back, mocking me. "You and Dan need to get ready. The tour manager messed up and it looks like we're going to have to leave tonight if you don't want to be super rushed tomorrow. Woody and the members of Grizfolk are with me now but I can't get ahold of Dan. We were going to meet up for some drinks at my place before we left, if that's alright with you."

Damn it, I just now got Dan to sleep. "I was talking quietly because Dan's on my lap asleep." I rolled my eyes once hearing Will make oooing noises. "Shut up. I'll wake him up and then we'll be over there. We'll probably have to run to his house to get the clothes that he's packed too so just give us a bit."

"Alright," Will responded then laughed at something one of the other boys with him said. "Have fun with your lover boy. We can't wait to laugh everytime you blush when he walks into the room for the next two months. Then Dan will be looking around confused and asking everyone what was so funny."

"Will, I don't like him in that way. He's just-" I was cut off by the sound of the call ending. Damn them. I didn't even tell them how I felt and they thought they knew. Was it really that obvious? I looked down to see Dan looking up at me, looking a tad bit confused. "Will called. We're going to have to leave for the tour tonight which means we better get going. I can drive you to your house to get your stuff."

Dan nodded while yawning and rubbing his eyes to help wake himself up. I stuffed by phone back into my pocket and he stood up, allowing me to do the same. "So you were talking to Will on the phone?" He mumbled sleepily and I nodded in response. "Who do you not like?"

"I.. Um.. Nobody. It was nothing, he was just joking around with me." I gave him a small smile then walked over to the coat hanger to grab a hoodie in case it was chilly outside. "Do you want to borrow a hoodie or something?"

He nodded and I handed him another one of my hoodies, smiling to myself as I watched him put it on. He looked good in everything, even clothes that were too big for him. "Hey, Ky?" He asked with a small smirk on his face, I knew he must've had some idea and part of me was scared to figure out what it was. He always had the most random thoughts. I stared at him, waiting for him to finish. "Well, you know how you said I should rest up? Walking is sooo much effort. You should carry me to the car."

"Dan, I'm not going to carry you to the car. You have legs-" I stopped once I saw him giving me puppy dog eyes. "Fine. Come here." He grinned and practically ran over to me, almost tripping over the suitcase I had laying on the floor.

-----------------------------------------

By the time we got everything loaded up on the tour bus, it was almost midnight. Dan and I didn't arrive at the house until later so we didn't drink anything, we were practically rushed onto the bus. Adam, Brendan, Billy, Sebastian, and Frederik, otherwise known as the members of Grizfolk, all greeted us with excited hugs. They didn't seem to be nervous at all.

Since it was the first night of being on the bus for this tour, everyone decided to either go to bed early and rest up or have quiet discussions with each other in another room while the others went to sleep. Dan attempted to stay up, saying he was 'too excited' to sleep but everyone knew that he needed sleep more than all of us. He was the one who always pulls a bunch of all nighters during the tour because he's nervous.

"Fine, I'll go to bed early tonight but I'm staying up tomorrow. I don't care if any of you guys disagree." He started to walk out of the room then stopped and turned back around. "Oh, and Kyle, if I'm going to bed, so are you."

The other members of the bands began to making oooing noises while laughing loudly at each other, causing me to shoot them a glare at them that basically said that if they didn't shut the fuck up, I was going to kill all of them in their sleep. "Wait, what's so funny?"

"It's nothing, let's just go to bed now, okay?" I took off my hoodie and tossed it onto one of the couches then turned back to Dan who still looked somewhat confused.

Once the others stopped laughing, he reached over to take my hand so he could lead me to his bed. "We're cuddling. You pretty much promised me back at your house."

"Alright, we'll cuddle." I followed him but stopped as soon as I heard the familiar noises coming from the other room again. "Shut up, Will."
