Toxic Valentine. (Fransykes)

What was beautiful about Warped tour, was the intense unity everyone felt whilst they were touring together. Many other bands joined them in the early morning sunrise; some whilst the land was still bathed in the crimson of the first rise of a dangerous sun. Kellin was sipping a Monster, whilst chatting animatedly to a small Mexican man, of who was barely listening to a word of the animated ebony haired other. Across from where they stood, two tall Baltimore born lads were discussing in a similar style, only they were both engaged in the conversation.

“I don’t think so Jack…no there’s no way…you remember what he was like the first time,” Snippets were caught by passer-byes, and none of them would be able to decipher a word the two were saying in the slightest. But Vic could, because instead of listening to his good friend talk about his wife and child as if they were the Sun and Earth and moon all in one, he was listening to Jack and Alex’s conversation from across the way.

“There’s no way they’re going to work out again, Josh was…he couldn’t even move Jack,” The older Fuentes furrowed his eyebrows, interested in the conversation almost immediately; watching the Essex-born man and his best friend talk about their other best friend’s love life as if it were the most precious thing in the world. “I’m aware he still loves him, but he doesn’t,” The two discussed seriously, with Jack running a hand through his dark brown and bright blonde hair, shaking his head before looking over at his best friend.

“Maybe we should just not get involved?” The other tried to reason, leaning against a crate before digging through his pockets for a packet of cigarettes. It was here however, that Vic had to stop listening as Kellin became aware that he was chatting to the air and redirected his best friend’s gaze to him. When he looked up again, the two were making tracks with lit cigarettes dangling between their fingers.

So Josh had a thing for someone, whether it was Oli… however, it made sense, when the two had fallen out there were periods of time where neither of them spoke to anyone, he had heard briefly (So whether it was true or not…is different) that Josh hadn’t eaten for nearly a month, before Alex had to trek back down to him and force-feed him. That was dangerous, that was far too dangerous to repeat again, if Josh had been dependant enough on Oli that he couldn’t even eat properly, then there was something wrong.

Vic coughed softly and turned to his close friend “Hey Kellin…what do you know about Oli and Josh?” It was sudden and out of place, taking the American boy by surprise as he paused mid-rant about why Katelynn and Copeland couldn’t tour with him (Obviously because there’s no room and it’s too dangerous for a young child to be on a tour bus with him).

“Sykes and Franceschi?” As if clarifying the two names, even though there wasn’t an another Josh and Oli that actually knew each other. The young Mexican nodded in reply anyway, waiting impatiently “There’s not a lot to tell, as far as I knew, they were best friends, and then they weren’t, something happened and the two didn’t speak to anyone for a long time, it was like a bad breakup,” Exactly like a bad breakup.

It wasn’t until later, that Vic admitted he might have a bit of curiosity of the two, of whom he’d only ever really exchanged brief conversations with. He was talking to Mike, the younger Fuentes was intrigued as his older-smaller brother spoke about it, and his interest in it as he talked with the other. “It’s just strange we don’t have many couples…like that, around,” He was trying to be delicate, it was written all over his face, but this just made the younger roll his eyes.

“Just say gay Vic, it won’t bite you,” Said boy knew this of course, he was not Homophobic and never had been before looking at the other with a raised eyebrow. Shaking his head with a small chuckle, he continued his words.

“I’ve never met someone who was actually gay before, I mean I’ve spoken to Brendon Urie, and Tyler Carter, but not someone who was 100% flaming homosexual,” Vic tucked his hair behind his ears, looking up “It sounds awful to think I think they’re any different, I just…I wanna know what it’s like, being attracted to other men,” Mike laughed at his older brother, finding his reasoning somewhat hurtful, and he hoped he never repeated it to any lesbian or gay man.

“The same as liking girls bro,”

“Oh...well yeah," There was a silence between them, "It's just strange, the whole sex thing, it's kinda gross," Tony walked in from the bathroom at this point, and raised an eyebrow at the brothers. As someone who would usually identify as Hetero(Flexible- "I'm straight but shit happens") he found it funny how the two spoke as if they needed to be delicate with the situation, as if it were a bad word.

"They probably think your sex thing is kinda gross too," The newcomer replied with a laugh, shaking his head. "What lead to this discussion?" Silence once more, and the two Fuentes brothers exchanged a look, Vic looking guilty at the thought of discussing his two possibly gay friends as if they were from a completely different planet. "Oh, I see, well I'll see you guys later, I'm gonna go see some guys play,"

Notes

Ok, so I want to do some research on BDSM and stuff before I properly write this.-CJ
