"Happy birthday Rem!" the crowed shouted as I enter the stage. Screaming was filling my surroundings everything saw me. I decided to wear a skirt and a mesh cropped top on stage with my boots and my brothers made me wear one of those cone party hats little kids wear at parties.

"Thank you everyone!" I smiled as I look around. I felt a hand on my shoulder and see Sebastian.

"Let's get this show on the road birthday man."

I laughed and looked at Emerson to start playing. That's how the show went for the next hour and a half but then, in the middle of me hanging upside down while singing Showbiz, the crowed starts screaming louder than before and the music stop. I stop singing and look around but I couldn't really see much behind me since the pole I was hanging on didn't give me that much visibility.

I climb down and see my brothers start to play happy birthday. I smile and notice Andy and everyone else on the stage with a cake. 

"What is this..?" I laugh softly and look at Andy. He smiled and shrugged while holding out the cake.

"I mean, it is your birthday..." Andy spoke as he walked closer to me and sifting the cake to one hand as he hugs me and kissed my cheek without anyone noticing. "And I love you."

He backed up and held the cake out while Jake lit the candles.

"Happy birthday to you!" Everyone started singing and the crowed joined in.

I smiled as a single tear dropped while I listened to everyone. I pulled out my phone as the song ended and held up the mic to my lips.

"Okay, say hi everyone." I say as I record a video of me in front of the crowed. They yelled another happy birthday before I turn the camera to Andy and everyone else as I blow out the candles. "Best fucking birthday ever." I speak into the mic before ending the video and posting it on my story. 

"Now! Lets finish the set so we can go on, yeah?" Andy laughed.

"Anything for the golden boy." I rolled my eyes and we continue to finish Showbiz from somewhere in the middle of the song. 

I end up throwing the party hat into the crow of people before we finished and let Andy go on. It was hectic but fun to watch everyone. Once the show was done, we went to the VIP area and waited for everyone to get in line so we could get photos taken and sign everything. We ended up cutting the cake for the people who got VIP and let them have some if they wanted any. It was Nutella flavored which I loved, even thought I only got a very small part of it.

"I'm taking Remington on a date but we can go out for dinner tonight together before we have to go home and pack for the morning."

We left and I smile when I see a crowed of people screaming our names. I wanted to hold Andy's hand but no one can know about us so I had to suck it up. The crowd ran over to us and I ended up losing Andy.

"Omg! Hi! I'm a huge fan! I saw the show! It was so cool!" I smiled softly and chuckle. 

"Thank you...do you want a photo?"

"YES! PLEASE!"

I chuckled again and take a photo with the girl and other people before Andy showed up again.

"Hey, we have to go now. Sorry guys." Andy spoke softly while smiling at me.

"No! Okay...I loved meeting you Remington!" A few people tried to keep me there but Andy put his hand on my back as we go to the car.

Andy pulls out of the parking spot and drove around everyone, careful not to hit anyone or anything as he left the venue. I looked out the window and sighed before hooking my phone to the Bluetooth in the car and playing some music. Andy placed his hand on my thigh and then removed it quickly and put it on my knee. I chuckled softly and smiled.

"What's wrong with my thigh that you don't want to touch it?"

"I forgot you had a skirt on. I don't like that I can't hold your thigh and that my hand just sits there because of the skirt."

"Oh shit...I forgot about what I'm wearing...should we go home before-"

"No! It's okay, I don't mind. I like being able to walk around with you dressed in what you like. If you want to keep that on, you can...if not, then you can change into the pants I packed for you."

I looked in the back seat to see a bag of clothes. I pulled it to the front and checked the clothes. I saw a pair of short and a pair or black jeans. I smiled and looked at my outfit.

"Should I change my shirt too? if I cant my pants."

"I think it should be okay. It's not like we're going somewhere where kids are going to be staring at you."

"What do you mean? Are we going to a sex bar!? Andy please-"

"No, unless you want to? But no, we're not going there. It's a surprise."

I nod and pull my skirt down and off my legs. My thighs get goosebumps as the cool air hits them. I start pulling the jeans and then feel Andy break and turn somewhere. I almost hit my head against the glove compartment but Andy quickly put his hand there and my head hit his hand.

"I didn't expect you to change now. Just wait a little bit."

"I've done it before. I just didn't expect you to break and turn so quickly like that."

"Sorry...I didn't mean to. I just needed to get out of the way."

"Of? You turned into a McDonalds...don't tell me we're eating here. You said-"

"We aren't. Relax. Someone just wasn't paying attention and braked really hard in front of me so I moved so I wouldn't get hit. Sorry love."

I shook my head and quickly pulled up the jeans and smiled at him. "See. Done."

He laughed and pulled me into a kiss. I smiled and kissed him back but he pushed me away before I got too carried away.

"I need you to stay seated now. I'm going to start driving again. We're almost there."

I nod smile as he moved his hand to my thigh and starts driving to wherever we were going. We ended up in front of the theater and we went inside. I smiled as Andy showed the guy his phone and then took my hand. We got our drinks and a small thing of popcorn before going to the theater and sitting in our seat. No one else was there, it was just us. I felt slightly weird about it but Andy seemed happy.

Ads started to play before the movie and I went onto my phone. I took a photo of Andy while he was on his phone and saved the photo. I then saw him look up at me and kiss me softly.

"I hope you like the movie." And just like that, the movie started. I smiled softly and leaned into Andy's arm as Joker started to play. I squealed and looked at Andy.

"Really?" I mumbled. "I thought we were going to watch it when it came out on like, the internet or whatever so we could watch it with everyone else."

"Well yes, but I knew that you wanted to watch it...and, I rented the whole theater for you so you wouldn't have any distractions so shut up...I love you."

I giggled and cuddled with Andy as we watched the movie. I didn't let a single thing distract me which was new but I wanted to make this memory last. I wanted to be happy and I was, knowing that my boyfriend, the person I care about, was with me, watching a movie in a empty theater because he knew I would get distracted if other people were here. He knew me more than I even knew myself.

Once the movie ended, we left and got food before going back home. I was happy. It was the happiest I've been in a long time and it was all because of the guy next to me.

"Andy."

Andy smiled and looked at me before looking back at the road. "Yes?"

"You know...You've made this birthday one of the best ones I've had since my mom passed...a-and...I want you to know that I'm really grateful to have you in my life. Without you, I'd probably be a sad and lonely old man."

Andy laughed softly and ruffled my hair. "I'm glad I could keep a smile on that face. I love seeing you happy and I'd do anything to keep it that way. Also, don't forget, we're going to eat with everyone for dinner so make sure to put an actual shirt on. As much as I love seeing your skin and tattoos, I don't think anyone else wants to."

"Okay okay."

Once we got to the house, Andy took the trash from the food and threw it away before we went to our room. I then saw my stuff all over the floor. I scrunched my face and quickly picked it up before Andy came in.

"I think Juliana took something from the room.."

He looked at me and then the slight mess behind me and frowned. "I put your pills in that bag."

I tilt my head. "I haven't taken my pills this whole time...I didn't even know that I brought them."

He shrugged and looked through the bag but couldn't find anything and then noticed something before throwing the bag on the floor, causing me to jump and flinch when he pushed passed me and walked downstairs. I followed slowly and stood awkwardly when Andy threw something tiny that hit Emerson in the face.

"What the fuck dude! What the hell-" He picked up the thing and then I could tell it was my anxiety meds. The one pill I did take every day. I packed those but they weren't put with my clothes, they were on my bedside table.

"Why did you throw his pills at me?"

"Where the fuck in your girlfriend?"

"She's out with Sebastian getting something from the store...Why?"

"I'm not going through her shit because I don't fucking know her but she took Remington's pills. Both of them."

"She doesn't do drugs Andy. I think I know her enough and I know she wouldn't take his meds. Especially when he needs them."

Andy scoffed and pointed upstairs. "Go check the fucking room them and see what she did. I swear to god, if he has an anxiety attack or some shit because he doesn't take his meds because your girlfriend took them..."

"What? What are you going to do?"

"It's what I'm not going to do that should scare you. Just because Remington is your brother and he cares about you doesn't mean I'll stop once I get started."

I frown and put my hand on his arm. "Andy...calm down please."

He sighed and kissed my head. I look at Emerson and look at him with pleading eyes. He sighed and threw his hands up before grabbing Juliana's bag and going threw it. He looked threw a few things and then pulled out my lipstick. 

"Why does she have yours?"

"I lent it to her for the day...I need it back now so.." I took it from him and he went through the bag again and then pulled out an orange pill container and then frowned when he pulled out a second one. Both were mine.

"What the fuck..?" He handed them to Andy and then looked through it more and found another bottle but before he could read it, Andy took it and walked upstairs. I frown and look at Emerson. "What was that for.."

"I don't know...I'm going to get dressed. If you find anything else, just put it aside."

He nods and I go upstairs to go back into the room. Andy was in the bathroom so I decided to get dressed. I put on baggy blue jeans and a crop top with a kiss on the front. I smile and knock on the door to the bathroom. Andy didn't open it so I tried and it opened.

"You didn't lock the door so I'm coming in."

Andy was sitting on the floor and smiled softly at me. I smiled and then tilted my head at him. "What are you doing?"

"Just sitting. It's nice in here. Cold."

I nod slowly and lightly kick his side. "Get dressed and then come back and give me a hug." I say smiling.

He got up and kissed my cheek before getting dressed. I watched from the mirror as I got fixed my makeup. Andy was changing his shirt from a tank top to a normal tee-shirt and left his jeans alone. He put on a few bracelets and then a necklace before going through his bag and coming back to me. He put his arms around me while I cleaned off the makeup on my neck, revealing my bruised neck.

"Shit...I did that?"

I looked at him and then my neck before nodding. "But it's okay. It's not too bad."

He frowned and kissed my back, between my shoulder blades. He then got his phone out and took a photo of my neck and then both of us in the mirror. I laughed softly as he changed his lock screen to his phone. I shook my head leaned back against him. I got my phone out and kissed his cheek and then his lips while taking a photo. I put it as my lock screen and smiled.

"I think we should get going before people get mad that we're up here for so long."

"I thought Sebastian and Juliana were gone?"

"I heard the door open when I was changing. I think they're back already."

He nods and we leave the bathroom. We walk downstairs and everyone is already waiting for us. Emerson looked pissed off and Juliana was gone. I sighed and held Andy's hand. He smiled and we all walked to the van and got in. We went to IHOP which made my day all the better.

"Yes! Thank fuck it's not a fancy place!" I laughed as we walked out of the van and into the restaurant. We sat down and ordered our food before Emerson noticed my neck and threw a salt packet at me and Andy.

"Seriously? You were upstairs for 10 fucking minutes and he manages to look like his neck was molded by a fucking bear."

"Chill, it wasn't from today."

Emerson was about to speak but Sebastian spoke before he could. "SO- How was the date with Andy? Good?"

I nod and smile at Andy. "It was great."

Sebastian smiled and changed the topic. Everyone started joining in until the food got here. Once we finished eating, it was around 8pm. We got back into the van and everyone was pretty quiet which was weird for our group.

"What's going on? Why is everyone so quiet?"

No one said anything. I look at Andy and lay against his side as his arm wraps around me. "I'm sure everyone in tired...just relax."

I didn't realize I've fallen asleep until I was woken by Andy and screaming. I look around and rub my eyes to see colorful lights everywhere. Sebastian was parking the car before everyone got out and it took me a few seconds to realize we were at a fair.

"I thought you said everyone-"

"That was the point. So you could sleep for a little while we got here. Anyway, happy birthday love, lets go have fun for a bit."

I smile and take Andy's hand as we all go to the entrance of the fair. Andy got us these wrist bands that let us get on as many rides as we wanted and then we went inside. Everyone went on their own while I went with Andy. We went on different rides and even got to do the games. Andy even gotten me a few plushies from the games.

"Okay, well, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back." I mumble as we pass the bathroom.

"Okay." Andy took my stuff and I went into the bathroom. While I was washing my hands once I finished, I saw a person I thought I knew. I turn around and see my childhood friend from school. 

"Sam?"

He turned around and looked at me before smiling. "Oh shit...Remington? Hey! What are you doing here?"

"Tour...I'm in a band with my brothers now...we leave tonight to Spain."

"Oh shit, yeah! I heard you were doing some music but like, I didn't think about it when you left."

"Yeah...I'm actually here with my-" I stop and think. Should I say boyfriend? Or should I say with the band I'm managing? 

"Your..?"

"My boyfriend..."

He smiled and nods. "Sick. What other shows are you doing? I might stop by."

"We have like, 3 or 4 in Spain in the next two weeks...Oh, but if you go on Instagram, you can check our schedule."

"Okay, sick. uh, what's your Instagram? I'll follow you."

"Yeah, it's my name...and you'll be able to find the band account from my bio."

"Remington....Leith...do I add Kr- oh its here. There, followed you, and...the band account. I'll see if we can go to a concert soon! We're only here in Berlin for the night and tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Yeah, I can't wait to see you there- wait, we? Are you seeing someone...or is it a friend?"

"Oh yeah...my friend...you remember Colby right? We all were in band together."

"Oh! Yeah, him! How is he doing?"

"Good. We're both pretty good. We moved in together and film videos now!"

"Oh, that's amazing! I'm sorry though, I have to go back now, my boyfriend will be worried if I don't leave soon."

"Oh right! I'm sorry. Let's meet up soon, I'd love to meet the guy. And I'm sure Colby would love to see you again."

I nod and smile. "Great. Bye!"

I walked out and bump into someone as I check my phone for anything from Andy but I got nothing so I bumped into the person for no reason.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry- Colby! Speak of the devil." I laughed.

"Oh...you were just talking about me..?"

"Yeah! Sam was in the...bathroom? Hold on, do you not remember me? I mean, you are shorter than me now but I'm not that much different."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's Remington. You know, the weird new student who showed up out of nowhere and then left out of nowhere."

"Remington...Oh Shit! I haven't seen you in years! What are you doing here?"

"I'm with-" I was then cut off by Andy jogging to me. "Remington! Where did you go? You were gone for like, 20 minutes." I smile softly and look at him. "I'm with my boyfriend."

"Oh cool! Sam and I are-"

"Colby! Oh, you bumped into him too!"

I smile softly when I see Colby tense a little and then relax when he feels Sam put his arm around him in a bro hug way but also in a calming way. 

"Right, Sam, Colby, this is my boyfriend, Andy. Andy, this is Sam and Colby. My friends from high school when I first moved to California before I went to a fool time music artist."

"Nice to meet you." Andy spoke softly and smiled at them. He then turned to me and sighed. "Your brother is looking for us."

"Right, sorry guys. I hope I see you guys soon!"

They smiled and waved as I started to walk away but then I heard Sam shout for me. "Hey Remington! Happy birthday!"

I smiled and wave at them again and then I walk with Andy to find my brothers. They were standing at the Farris wheel.

"Andy wanted us to get you ice cream, something about a promise. Anyway, take this and hurry up and get on the fucking wheel before they close." Sebastian laughed and shoved the ice cream to me. 

"Okay, okay!"

I quickly get seated and Andy sits down next to me. He smiled as he watched me eat my ice cream in the light casted by the moon.

"God, I love you so much."

I smile and kiss his cheek. "I love you just as much, if not more."

Andy stared at me and then pulled out his phone. He opened up Instagram and then took a video of me. I thought it was just going to be a fun video but then he started speaking. 

"And now you guys know how much of a sappy romantic I am...say hi to this beautiful man." I blushed and roll my eyes. but then he spoke again. "I love him so much...and I hope you guys will be able to see that and not hate us for hiding this."

He stopped the video and then re-watched it. I stared at him and then grabbed his phone. "No. You cant." He looked at me a little hurt and confused. "I-I'm sorry. I just, you cant. Not yet. Let me talk to the label before you post something like this."

He sighed and nods before taking his phone back from me and saving the video and then discarding the post. I felt like shit because he seemed so happy to take the video but the contract strictly said I couldn't have a sexual relationship with my bands when I sighed for the job.

"I'll talk tonight...I don't want anything to happen to you're chance with the label...If they don't want to accept it, I'll leave. You would have a different manager but the label is a good one and you deserve it."

Andy laughed softly and kissed my head. "You're not going to leave. We can talk to them together. I'm sure they will be okay with it. I mean, they aren't like, homophobic...right?"

"I hope not."

The ride ended and we got off. It was a pretty quiet ride home but that was because almost everyone was passed out or completely out of it. It was a long day. When we got home, we all went into the house, some quicker than others but Andy and I just went straight to our room. I sighed and got changed into a pair of shorts and cleaned off my make up before calling my boss.

"Remington? What's going on? Is everything okay? You have a flight in the morning don't you? You should be sleeping."

"Oh yes, I just wanted to talk to you about something and just get an opinion on this matter."

"Oh, okay. What is it?"

"So, I was wondering...the contract I signed when I started working for the record label started I cant have any relations with the people I manage but the contract I signed before I started working for you, the one I signed for being signed to the label didn't say anything about not having relations, it just said we can't sabotage the other persons career if it ended poorly and-"

"You're wondering how I feel on the matter? Who is it that you want to be in relations with? Or is this hypothetical?" My boss sighed softly.

I look up at Andy and shake my head. "I don't think this is going to end well for us." I mouth and then looked down at my phone.

"Well...I was just asking for the matter...and I don't know if it's going to be anything anyway, I was just wondering if it would be an issue or if I would get in trouble if it became public...But there isn't anything going on, it-" I started rambling.

"Me...sir. It's Andy...from Black-" Andy cut me off but then was cut off before he could speak.

"I know who you are Andy. I remember my singers voices. What kind of person would I be if I couldn't do that but I put you guys on stages?" He laughed.

Andy and I both laughed awkwardly as he sat down on the bed and put his hand on my thigh and gave it a light squeeze for reassurance but it didn't help much when my boss just sighed on the other end of the phone, thinking about something.

"You want this relationship to be public?" He asked quietly.

I couldn't speak so Andy spoke up. "Yes..."

"And how long has this...thing, how long has it been going on?"

"Start of the tour but it wasn't as strong or serious as it is now." Andy spoke with more confidence.

I felt like shit because I couldn't even say anything. I was so scared of losing my job or worse, my label for something as shitty as this and I didn't even do anything wrong. If anything, my boss would have just been cancelled for being homophobic or something because quite literally, every single person knows I'm gay.

"And you didn't say anything until now?" 

I knew for a fact, that one was more directed to me. "I...I was going to but I wasn't sure it was going to go anywhere. I thought it was just a small thing to happen but I really think I could have a future with him...but I know the contract strictly stated that I can't so I understand if you want to fire me or kick me from the label or-"

"You really got an overthinker here, Andy. Are you sure you want this one? We have many other guys who wouldn't be this scared for being who they are and liking who they like." 

I could tell he was trying to be funny to lighten the mood but it sounded slightly homophobic, which I know he isn't. Andy laughed softly and stared at me.

"Yes, I'm sure I want him."

I smile softly and lean into his arm.

"Okay, well, there is no reason for me to go all strict on one of my best workers. Just have a good time on tour, make a lot of memories and have fun. We can talk a little more in depth when you guys get back but don't worry about it too much right now. You can make it public whenever you feel like it but all I ask is that you don't be petty and post arguments and act childish about each other. I don't care if its within the band but bands crossing each other isn't a good look for the label."

"Thank you, yes sir." Andy spoke. 

"Thank you very much. I hope you have a good day sir." I speak softly and calmly, which was a totally different approach from how I was being a couple seconds ago.

"Oh, and Remington. Happy birthday bud. Hope it was a good day."

"Thank you, good bye."

I hung up and smiled so wide that my cheeks started to hurt. "Holy fuck. That just happened!" Andy kissed me and pulled me into a tight hug. I lean into his touch and then pull away. "God, this is the best day. I...I just wish my mom was here. She would have loved you y'know. She never really liked Josh, always told me he was no good and that she didn't like him very much."

He laughed and kissed my cheek. "We can visit her when we get back if you'd like."

I looked up at him and smiled softly. "Please, that would be lovely."

"Lets go to bed okay? We've had a long day and you need to rest for the plane. I'll get everything packed while you sleep."

"Are you sure? I can help."

"It's your birthday. No."

I laughed and kicked him softly before lying on the bed and going to sleep which wasn't hard because, as he said before, I needed it. I was so tired, I could have fallen asleep standing if I had to.

That night, everything felt just right, nothing felt off. It was exactly how it needed to be. I was happy.
