The tour went better than anyone had thought and suddenly it was the last show. I stood behind stage and prepared myself when Alex told me it was time. I smiled and nodded, and walked up on stage. The crowd cheered and I smiled even wider. It felt good and I took the microphone. “HELLO MIAMI” I called out.

We were celebrating on the bus. Everybody was happy that the first tour was over.
“Next tour will be with Of Mice and Men again” Spot said and held up his can of beer. The others cheered.
“What will you do now Rin?” Ian asked and everyone looked at me.
“So far I have no idea” I laughed and shrugged. They nodded and I could feel Ian’s eyes on me. I glanced up and yes… He looked at me. He didn’t look away and I swallowed. He made me a little bit nervous.
“So Rin, how does it feel to go back home and meet that boyfriend of yours?” Spot teased. I smiled and looked at him.
“I think he’s in Australia right now” I said and shrugged. Alex looked at me and I knew that he just realized who my boyfriend was. I glared at him with a “don’t you dare say anything”-look. Alex got a grin on his lips. Ian looked at us and looked confused.
"Who is your boyfriend anyway?" Spot asked.
"I can’t tell you, not yet" I said and looked at him.
"Why not?" Ian asked, and narrowed his eyes. I had the feeling he already knew but who knew?
"I don’t want people to judge me" I said and looked at him.

"You’re going on tour with El Rey, Of Mice and Men and Black Scarlet Skies" Kim said and looked at me. I choked on my own saliva and stared at him. BSS was a poprock band, El Rey was metalcore and Mice was… Well hardcore. I didn’t belong with them.
"I can’t go on tour with them, my musicstyle is nothing like theirs" I gasped.
"You will have your own room and won’t play as many shows as them, and it’s because you appear on El Rey’s album that we decided that you should go as well" Kim said.
"My own room? What’s that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"While the other play on the stage you will only play in smaller rooms where it will be cozy and nice for a guitar and acoustic style" Kim said and looked at me. Now I understood what he meant. And that was the reason why I would only play on some dates and not all. Because every venue didn’t have the "extra" room. I swallowed and nodded. Better than nothing.

I got to Austin’s place and he had Tino and Aaron there as well. They all greeted me and Austin gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Glad to have you back" he said and pulled me down on his lap, and wrapped his arms around me. I smiled.
"What’s with this?" I asked and poked his arms around me.
"We’re going on tour next week, I want to have you as close as I can for the next few days" he said with a sad smile. I looked at him.
"By the way, do you guys have some spare room for two more guys on your bus?" I asked and looked at them.
"Yeah, why?" Tino asked.
"Nah, it’s just me and Alex" I shrugged. They all looked at me.
"You’re inviting yourself, and Alex?" Tino asked, a little bit amused.
"I can always stay with El Rey and the smelly bus we had on the tour now, but I rather stay in yours for the tour" I said.
"You’re going to stay the whole tour?" Austin asked, a bit confused.
"Yeah, Kim told me I have to tour with you guys… I hope Black Scarlet Skies are nice" I said and grinned at him. He looked shocked and then he got a huge grin on his face as well.
"You’re touring with us?" he asked.
"I thought it was weird as well but it’s all because I’m on El Rey’s album and they want me close. I will not play on the same stage as you guys and I will only play for a few dates… So I’ll have lots of free time" I said and shrugged.
"Not the same stage?" Aaron asked and I explained.
"But that’s bullshit, you’re just as good as we are" Austin said.
"Austin it’s okay, at least I can be with you guys and I get to perform" I said.
"Still" he muttered and kissed my shoulder.

Austin hovered over me and I smiled, and his soft lips touched mine.
"I’m glad you’re back and I’m glad you’re coming on tour" he whispered and kissed my collarbones. I let out a small moan and felt his smile against my skin.
"The others will find out about us though" I said and looked at him.
"Who cares?" he said and kissed my belly.
"Well I do… I don’t want people to judge me" I said.
"Let them judge you then, only you know the truth and that’s what matter" Austin said and pulled down my panties. I giggled and moved my hands and combed my fingers through his hair.
"Do you know how much I like you?" I said.
"Like? Dear Rin, I know it’s more than just like" he said and kissed over my core. I let out a moan and gasped a little when he found my clit. I grasped the sheets under me and I felt Austin chuckle a little.
"You’re right" I whispered and this time I just felt a big smile on his lips.
