Ross's POV:
"Hey Ross! Hey Dustin! So great that you could come with us! Did Ross show you your bed?" Rocky asked, before looking at my bed cubby and INSTANTLY understanding what had just happened.
We both smiled and blushed.
"Well I guess so. Did you have time to tour the whole bus? Or did it just stop at the bed?" Rydel asked, smirking at us.
Oh my god she was embarrassing sometimes.
"Uh, yeah he hasn't been here long, I'm gonna show him around now!" I said, grabbing Dustin's hand and dragging him around the large bus interior.
While we were touring the bus, Ratliff came in, looking depressed beyond belief.
"Hey..Ross. Hey Dustin. Uhm. Hey Ross, can I talk to you outside for a minute?"
"Sure buddy"
We made our way out of the bus door.
"What's up Ratliff?" I asked, genuinely concerned.
"Well Ross..the reason I've been acting so funny lately..Uhm..I'm gay.."
"Awe! Well thanks for telling me first buddy!" I said, hugging my friend.
"Well. That's not why I've been acting weird. See..I've always known I was gay..but I've also..always..had a crush on you. Like..nobody else. Just Ross Lynch..."
"Oh..Uhm..well. Thank you Ratliff! I'm just sorry you have to see me with Dustin. I know that must hurt a lot. I'm sorry" I said giving him a hug.
"It's okay. Just as long as you're happy, then I'm happy".
He feigned a smile. It was so obviously fake. But I felt bad for him so I didn't dare call him out on it.
"Well thanks Ratliff. I'll try and keep the PDA at a minimum around you k? I want you to be comfortable too!"
"Too late" he muttered out.
I frowned and gave him a hug, and we went back into the bus.
"Everything okay Rossy?" I heard Dustin's angelic voice ask as he was sitting with my other band members talking. I'm glad they got along too.
"Yeah! Everything's fine. Are we ready to hit the road?" I asked our bus driver.
"Yes sir Mr. Lynch!" He replied. The bus jerked into motion.
I sat on Dustin's lap in a large chair, and when Ratliff went to lay down in his bed, I kissed Dustin passionately again. I could still taste myself on him from earlier. My other band members were fine with our PDA, which made me happy.
I grabbed Dustin's hand and snuggled into his chest.
"Where are we going now?" He whispered to me.
"Now? Atlanta. Then Miami"
"To Atlanta it is then!" he said, kissing me on my cheek. We kissed passionately one more time before falling asleep in each other's arms in the chair.
