"Anything you're willing to tell. And might I say, you're pretty good looking to be someone who is friends with a ghost. Most time you suspect it's some kind of creepy goth person.", Michael said, shuddering a bit as he remembered a bit of his past. He then focused back on the subject and smiled, blushing slightly as he looked at William. He couldn't help but scoot a little bit closer to the boy, taking the lovely Persian cat with him.
As Andy and his band, Black Veil Brides approached the tour bus, he smiled and flicked off the ashes from his cigarette. "Well, someone is feeling nice today.", Andy teased. "How are you Ronnie?", he then asked as he placed his cigarette back into his mouth, holding it with his lips. He stuck his hand out and gave Ronnie's a nice friendly shake before standing by his side and leaning back against the tour bus.
The rest of the band had already walked off to go converse with the other band to pass the time away, knowing that this was already going it be a long process. Andy sighed and threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stepping on the end with his old classic black Converse. He sighed and the turned to Ronnie, smiling once again. "So is all of your equipment packed and loaded? I think our guys still need to get everything together. And sorry for being late. Hair issues.", he teased once again.
Deep in his bones and in the depths of his mind, Andy had been thinking. He had really been thinking, unable to focus on his work or even daily life. But that's what it all added up to, being something in daily life. His eyes were shadowed with tiredness and his whole body ached. God, did it ache. But he forced a smile and a positive attitude. He would want nothing more than to just sleep for days, but with both band's busy schedules, Andy couldn't see that happening.
Andy nodded and glanced around boredly, watching as his crew packed up all of the instruments and needed electrical audio devices. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Nothing better to do at the moment. His blue eyes glanced from here to there, studying and taking everything in quietly. He looked over to Ronnie, studying the other male. His tattoos were outrageously awesome. And then looked down to some of his own, tilting his head as he looked at them. Of course, there was the Batman logo, always a favorite. Then there was the upside down cross, Misfits logo, his own band's logo, and many more.
He put his arms back to his sides and sighed, reaching down to his loose and ripped tank top. He clutched his hands into the bottom of it, still silently looking around and thinking to himself still. His thinking time always interrupted everything but of course, it was a necessity. He then looked down at his shoes and his black ripped jeans. The summer heat never really bothered him in his black apparel. He liked it. It was his style and he was sticking to it. It was quite flattering on the heavy set people, but it made him look even skinnier. He was already as thin as a sheet of paper as it was.
Once again he looked over to the other male, looking him form head to toe. Truth be told, Andy had once before secretly fancied him. But that was all in the past and besides, Andy had just broken up with his girlfriend. He sighed and let go of his shirt. "So any specific songs you had in mind for the bands to be singing?", he finally asked after what seemed to be hours of silence. He smiled and looked into the male's brown orbs, almost getting lost in them.
"An acoustic song as the finale would be pretty good.", Andy said, nodding to himself in agreement at the thought. "What do you think?", he asked. Soon, Black Veil Brides were all ready to go. Everything was packed onto the tours bus and the band was ready to go. "Come on guys, everyone is ready to go.", one of the managers said, motioning for the two males to get onto the bus. Andy followed quickly and hurried up the steps to the bus. Once he was on, he looked around in amazement. Sure, it was a tour bus, but it was a pimped one. He smiled and sat down onto the leather seats that lined each of the sides of the bus, patting a space behind him for Ronnie so they could continue talking. He continued to look around, seeing that the rest of the band had headed off to the back lounge area, past the sleeping quarters.
Michael nodded and looked around. "Yeah, blue is pretty cool.", he said as he once again ran his fingers through his blue locks. He smiled and laid down on his back, looking up to the ceiling that once was his. "I remember looking up here all the time when things got me down.", he mumbled and sighed. His eyes turned a burning, blazing red as he stared. "But that was the past.", he said angrily and sat up. He sucked in a deep breath and looked up at William, giving a small smile. "But onto the present, huh? What do you want to know about me?", he asked as he sat beside the boy and studied him.
Andy nodded quietly and sighed. Sure, at times he could be an upbeat person and very talkative but it changed drastically sometimes. "Yeah. I guess I'm trying to hurry things along. I just need to slow down and savor.", he said as he tapped his foot against the carpeted tour bus floor. The place looked a lot better than their own tours bus. Plus, it was old, needed tuning up here and there. "Man, you should get some shut up. I'll leave you be. I need to get some sleep myself.", he said as he got up from the leather seats and looked at Ronnie. He smiled and then trudged off to a bunk so he could at least get a good 10 minute nap in before they stopped at some kind of hotel or something.
As he entered the area where all the bunks were kept, he sighed and leaned against a wall of them, rubbing his eyes and taking a deep breathe. "I just need someone. Anyone.", he whispered to himself as he climbed up into a top bunk and kicked his shoes off of his feet, hearing them thump against the floor. With no blanket, he curled up, facing the wall and slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
OOC.}} Should we time skip?
Michael sucked in a deep breath before exhaling and folding his hands in his lap. "Born and raised in this fine state. Moved around a lot until the age of 13. This was the only permanent place that my family ever had. When I was 14, my parents divorced and my sister got into a terrible car accident with her boyfriend. He made it but she didn't. My parents always looked to me as being the cause of it, saying things like 'If you two got along more often, she wouldn't always be wanting to go out.' That's when I started cutting. From 14 to before I died, I cut everyday. One day I just went too far and had to be taken to the hospital from blood loss. I spent two months there on suicide watch and mental rehab. Once I got released I then came home and committed suicide in my attic.", he said, a grim face painted upon him.
Michael then began to flicker, tears about to spill from his eyes. He had never shared his sorry with anyone. It felt so good to get the pain out, but he just had too many tears to let go of. It's like they were all being held back with and iron wall. He sniffled and covered his face as he disappeared, immediately going into the attic and curling into a tight ball. He lay there for several minutes, balling his eyes out and soaking the sleeves to his hoodie.
"Yeah, maybe so, but they're complete douchebags. You're not. I know you're not. If you were, you wouldn't be this shy or blushing this much.", Angel said, giggling and poking Jayson's cheek. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "You're just so sweet and adorable!", she said happily. Once they got going again, she back up in her seat, looking down at her dress. She played with the sheer pink layer over the black puffy ruffles and smiled, looking down to her shoes as well. They were solid black 6 inch platform heels. They were to die for.
Andy groaned in his sleep, already having gotten up in the middle of the night to go through his luggage. Luckily, he had found his headphones so that he could block out the dreadful sound of the others snoring. Blaring through the headphones was Don't You Dare Forget The Sun by Get Scared. He groaned once more as he felt the fingers of someone else. He pulled back one side of his headphones and sighed. "Five more minutes, please.", he begged as he put the headphones back over his ears and curled back up into the bunk, still no blanket.
A chill passed through the whole bus, making him shiver. He rolled onto his other side and batted his eyes open, seeing Ronnie standing there, smiling. For a second, Andy was startled. He jumped and pulled his headphones off. "What's going on?", he asked quickly, a bit of surprise in his voice. His voice was groggy and worn, of course, the typical morning voice. He looked around, everything a bit blurry since he had just opened his eyes.
Andy sighed and jumped down from the bunk, unplugging his headphones from his phone. Everyone else was already dressed and leaving the bus. He groaned and walked into the bathroom, studying his complexion and giving a shrug. Handsome as ever. He smiled to himself and began stripping down out of his dirty clothes and hopped into the shower. He began scrubbing away at his body with the bar of soap that was in there and hummed to himself quietly as the hot water cascaded down his chest. He then gave a loud sigh of relief, enjoying the hot water.
As soon as he was finished, he got out and grabbed the nearest towel, not caring who used it last since he was in a hurry. He wrapped the towel around his waist as he searched through his bags, finding a nice plain white tee, some black jeans and ankle boots to wear. He then threw his towel onto the ground and go dressed as quickly as he could. Andy honestly wasn't that shy. He didn't care if people saw him in his birthday suit. Hey, we all had one, why not be proud of it?
He scrambled out of the bus, almost tripping on his way out as he then noticed everyone starring at him. He gave a nervous laugh and quickly combed through his hair, trying to make it as decent as possible as he looked at his reflection in the bus.
"Okay, okay.", he mumbled after combing it out a few more times and the crossing his arms over his chest. And sighed and motioned for them to go on. Of course, he would be following behind both of the bands, taking in the sights of their stop and enjoying a little bit of time off. He did not have plans to ride any roller coasters or rides seeings how his body ached enough as it was. 'Maybe two or three..', he thought as he looked up at the sky, wincing as the sun got into his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and blinked several times before looking back at Ronnie.
Andy shrugged and sighed. "I've just been a little off lately. And I'm real sore. I don't mean to rain on the parade or anything but I would really just like to sleep. But I guess while we are out, I could ride a couple of rides.", he said, smiling. He then frowned, his thoughts consuming him once more. 'You are gay. Admit it. I mean come on, you can't really hide it anymore.', he thought as he walked quietly, studying the ground in thought. He shoved his hands into his pockets and looked back over to Ronnie.
Michael looked up at William, sniffling silently. "I.. I'm sorry. I had never told my story to anyone else and... It felt so good to let it all out, but at the same time it pains me to remember it all...", he whimpered and covered his face, sniffling and crying a bit more. He wiped his eyes several times and then looked back at William, his lip quivering. He leaned into William, hugging him tightly and resting his head on the boy's shoulder.
"Oh, cool. I wish my parents would let me live by myself.", Angel said, sighing as she stepped out of the car and smiled over to Jayson. "Such a gentleman.", she said as she walked beside him, leaning close to him to keep warm. Angel's pink hair shined beautifully in the moonlight as she walked with him to his apartment door. Her heels clicked in time against the concrete.
"No, it's fine. I need time off and I don't really need to stay in the routine of staying in bed all day.", he said, blushing a bit and heading to the entrance of the amusement park. He stood by Ronnie, the man in charge of it all and smiled, waiting for further instructions on what was to be done. He forced himself to be more perkier, never wanting to disappoint. "So what ride are you going to ride first, Ronnie?", he asked the dark haired man.
Michael slowly lifted his head and stared into the gorgeous eyes of the other boy, getting lost in them. He smiled softly and blushed just a tad, finding comfort in him. He bit his lip and began to lean a little closer, still looking into the eyes of the other. He batted his eyes lashes as if asking for the boy to come closer. He began to blush more and his crying and sniffling slowly deceased.
"Well, I don't like to make others feel bad. I like to make people feel better. It's my job and I love doing it.", he said, smiling genuinely. As soon as they all had tickets and were admitted into the amusement park, Andy couldn't help but grab Ronnie by the arm and rush them both over to a towering roller coaster. He smirked over to him and then looked back at the ride. "How about this one? Seems like it's gonna be awesome.", he said, almost trying not to jump with excitement. To be honest, Andy was excited about the whole thing, but with his thoughts and his body getting the best of him, he really didn't show it.
Michael leaned in more, getting as close as he could before slowly closing his eyes as latching his lips onto the other boys, kissing gently. He then pulled away and looked at William, his own arms laced around his neck. He blushed wildly and then began to regret what he had done, awkwardly removing his arms and scooting back. "I'm sorry. I just...", he muttered nervously before getting up from the floor and beginning to walk off.
Andy laughed and jumped in beside him, already strapping himself inside and ready for the ride to begin. He smiled over to Ronnie. "Thanks for this. I needed it.", he said, almost wanting to hug the other man. As soon as Andy had gotten his seat belt on, the instructor came around and began checking seats, pulling down the safety bars over everyone in the individual seat of the roller coaster. Andy began smile and looked ahead only glances maybe a few times over to Ronnie.
Michael stopped in his path and turned back around to William, blushing even more. He flickered slightly and smiled softly. He dropped to his knees and sat back beside the boy, kissing him once more. Could it be? Had he found his savior? Could this be the one the others have told him about? Michael pushed all his thoughts away and solely focused on the boy, caressing his cheek as he kissed him passionately.
