The venue at night was actually a disgusting place. No one was around and it was normally a large field totally empty with piles of trash everywhere. It always smelled like cigarettes, sweat, and weed. The crowds of teens had left ass sorts of items behind. Not to mention that there was normally populated with merch slaves making their last second sales before security rushed the teen out. Connor, who didn’t like annoying teens avoided this ground like it was hell. He didn’t mind signings, but unlike some of the braver band members, he never wandered around during the day. Connor loved attention, he always had. But there was a difference between attention and being mobbed.

As of now, he was strolling past a few closing merch tents, kicking along a water bottle when he walked. See, Connor could have energy, but after a day with a show, and a meet-and-greet, and a signing, and practice, he was pretty calm. Exhausted was the word. His upper body was screaming at him to stop moving, and his legs kind of felt like jelly. Connor walk got worse when there was a hill. The grass had either been completely worn away, or was matted down so hard against the ground that Connor was slipping with almost every step. He was, thankfully, getting closer to his destination.

Connor doesn’t do this much, so why was he doing it know? Dakota. The two had made a habit of meeting up after Connor got done with practicing every day. Today however, Alli was a little too high to really rehearse much so Connor skipped out early. Ever the romantic he decided to go surprise Koti. An idea he was certainly regretting now. Connor would have turned around if he wasn’t already more than half way. He stumbled up the hill and down to Koti’s row of tents. Connor actually increased his pace knowing that he was closer. He was very excited to see Koti, tonight. Connor thought it was strange to actually miss someone the way he missed Koti. Like yes, he missed his mother and his friends back home. But he hadn’t seen them in a month, plus he could call them whenever he wanted. But with Koti he had this strange need to see him whenever he wasn’t there. Like Koti was the only thing on his mind when he was forced to not be around him. That really did piss Connor off sometimes. He wasn’t used to having that feeling, and it was a little uneasy. Koti had become so important so fast that Connor was pretty much always confused about the feelings he was having.

He turned the corner and saw that thankfully Koti was the only one left at their tent. Standing there all alone, folding shirts. The second he was in his view Connor had a deep sigh of relief. He felt so much better being able to see him. Connor walked over to the table and sat on the edge of the table and slide down over to Koti. Pushing a few t-shirts on to the ground to get right in front of him. “Hey booboo” He said grinning. “How was your day?” Connor was more waiting for a surprised reaction from Koti, so he was trying to play it off all cool.

<sub>Koti was sat on the table of the merch tent, watching as Oli made what Dakota hoped to be one last sale to a small group of squealing teenage girls. Why did they get so excited after seeing the band? It's not like they were that amazing.. honestly, Dakota was a little scared of their music. He didn't know any of the lyrics to any of their songs, because Lucky screamed them, and it was hard to tell what he was actually saying. He didn't doubt that it was better off that way.

Dakota waved to Oliver as he announced that he was leaving, and sighed, jumping off the edge of the table that he was perched on. He'd have to wait a while for Connor to come now, like every night. He hoped that nobody else came and asked to buy something. Koti hated talking to people he didn't know, especially a group of intimidating older girls, which it was likely to be.

Looking around, he saw that the place was looking pretty deserted. Covered in litter and lost items of clothing, it did look disgusting. And Koti probably smelt bad too, after being around so many people that had just spent the day moshing. At least they'd all seemed to have gone now and he could go and take a shower before he and Connor went to sleep.

He frowned at the pile of clothes on the floor. They were all crumpled up, and had obviously been knocked off. He bent down and picked a few up, laying them out on the table in front of him. He never even had to fold clothes at his own home, his Mom did that, so doing it here was really annoying. But he had nothing better to do, and hopefully it was pass the time by more quickly until Connor arrived.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Koti looked up, and grinned as he saw Connor. “Hey booboo. How was your day?”

Coco wrapped his arms around Connor, squeezing him tightly, and climbing onto the table beside him so that he was sat on his knees, facing Connor. "How come you're so early? I dunno what the time is, but you usually take longer than this." He smiled, and then looked down at the pile of shirts on the floor that Connor had just knocked off, and frowned in slightly frustration. "I'd only just folded those!" He didn't really care though, because Connor was there, which definitely made up for it.

Dakota ran his fingers through Connor's hair. It felt so soft, like always. It was sort of messed up at that moment in time, making him look really hot. He smiled, and leaned quickly forward to peck Connor on the lips, only moving slightly away afterward so that they were mere inches apart. "You look really sexy right now. I mean, you look really sexy all the time, but now even more so." He giggled, and then moved so that he was sitting on top of Connor, one leg on either side of his body, and then kissed him again, this time with a little more force.

"I'm so glad you could get here earlier than usual. I was so bored.. And I missed you! I don't like it when you're not around. I had to put up with the stupid fan girls all day and the sound of Lucky screaming.. I'm sure you have more fan girls around you, but at least Alicat doesn't scream.." He sighed, sort of wishing that he could be a part of Connor's band, even though that would mean he'd have to leave Carver. Dakota would definitely choose Connor over Carver any day, as bad as that might sound. Carver didn't really love him very much; he was too caught up in love with Chelsea to care about his younger brother..</sub>

Connor couldn’t help but smile when Koti say him, hell he couldn’t but smile around Koti. He hugged him back tightly just feeling a lot more relaxed now that Koti was around him. Connor knew that his feelings for Koti were strange, and rash. He didn’t really have feelings like this for other people. Connor was always laid back and let people do their own thing, and just sort of took what was given to him. But with Koti, Connor cared. Connor wanted to make sure that Koti was doing smart things, and wasn’t making awful life decisions. Although, running away on a tour when you’re sixteen isn’t the best Connor wasn’t going to complain about that since that is how they met. But also, Connor just wanted more of Koti. Like nothing he got was enough. Whenever they hung out Connor just wanted to hang out more. Every kiss made him want another. Sex just made him want more sex. Soon there wouldn’t be enough time in the day to do everything that Connor wanted.

“ I got finished all early so I came over here to see you.” No, he wasn’t gonna give any details about Alli. Connor was trying to keep his band together and putting Alli’s problem out there didn’t help. Plus on some level Connor was protective and Koti and didn’t want him to ever look down on Connor. Connor was trying very to put forward this perfect like and claim it was his, he knew it was wrong but he desperately needed to be perfect to somebody. That’s why he tried so hard, and kisses him a lot, and surprised him by coming here all early. A choice that Connor was now strongly regretting because he now realized that he hadn’t showered since his show. His show where he got all sweaty and gross. He cursed at himself for hugging Koti since he probably thought he was nasty right now.

Connor laughed at the shirts “Yeah, well if they had my bands name on them I’d help you fix them” Connor was dropping more and more hints that Koti should sell for his band instead. Yes, Koti had his brother but as far as Connor could see the two didn’t even spend that much time together. He had the girl always hanging on him, and Koti had Connor. It seemed natural that they would kind of grow apart, but Connor didn’t have a brother, and probably didn’t understand.

Connor’s eyes closed when Koto ran his fingers through his hair, it always feel amazing when he touched him. But he did get a little nervous with how close he was scared that he might get a nose full of that stench probably coming off him at the moment. Connor wanted to scoot away but at the same time, really wanted to be closer. He bit his lip a little when Koti was talking and chuckled. “I don’t smell to sexy right now” Connor said trying to be as honest. He smiled sheepishly and didn’t object at all when Koti straddled him. His arms snaked their way around his waist holding Koti against his chest.

Connor was still grinning, not that he really stopped when Koti was near him. “Fan girls? Me?” Connor laughed. It was no secret that he was gay. Most of the little girls would say hi but pretty much kissed the ground Alli walked on. Connor did however have a rather large amount of male fans, but he didn’t know if Koti was the jealous type and didn’t want to bring it up. He knew that Koti knew since he’d seen a show or two, but he had made no comment so Connor didn’t either. “Any bitches try and steal my man?” Connor said jokingly, kissing at his collar bone. “Alli is to pretty to scream.”

<sub>“Yeah, well if they had my bands name on them I’d help you fix them”

Koti sighed. He knew that Connor wanted him to join his band. Maybe he would some time.. but he couldn't bring himself to leave Carver right now, as much as he wanted to. He liked being around Carver, and being able to talk to him a lot. But now that he thought about it, he didn't actually see Carver all that often anyway. Koti was always sleeping with Connor on his bus, and Carver was always on Chelsea's bus so that he could escape Lucky and Venom. So the one reason he'd been giving Connor that meant he couldn't switch bands wasn't actually a valid reason. He wanted to switch bands so bad.. He was sort of torn.

"Well.. well. Maybe. I mean, it's not like I don't want to.. but, but, but. Erm.. maybe I'll talk to Carver about it." He could talk to Carver and see what his opinion was.. he could already predict it though. Carver wouldn't give a shit, and would tell Koti to do whatever he wanted..

“I don’t smell to sexy right now”

Koti chuckled, and leaned in closer to Connor to kiss his neck. Connor didn't smell bad to him at all. He just smelt.. like Connor. Koti always liked the way he smelt, even if he'd just played in a show and got all sweaty. He found it kinda sexy when he'd gotten all sweaty. Koti could tell that Connor was feeling insecure and probably thinking he smelt bad, but he was wrong.

"You smell nom," he said, nuzzling Connor a little, and shuffling closer to Connor so that he was pressed right against him. Connor felt warm. He always felt quite warm, but right now even more so. It was weird the way heat seemed to radiate from his body. There weren't many people that could warm Koti up so much. Maybe it was just in his head.. he doubted that Connor was like one of those werewolves in Twilight and had a body temperature of 135 degrees or anything. Hopefully not, anyway.. Koti was scared of that sort of thing. Even something as small as a puppy had the ability to scare him.

“Fan girls? Me?”

Koti nodded quickly, then kisses Connor on the forehead. "Yuh huh. I bet they're all like 'oooh Connor you're so sexy, i wish you were straight, why don't you just get in my pants? it won't mean anything.'" He stuck his tongue out at Connor, then leaned forward to lick his nose. "And fanboys too, riiiight? All totally more hot that me?" Koti did sometimes worry that maybe Connor would find somebody better than him, or find a really hot older guy that he'd want to have sex with. But he didn't really mind the fans.. it was part of the job, and he hoped that Connor wouldn't do that to him anyway.

“Any bitches try and steal my man?

"Not a chance. Nobody knows my name."

“Alli is to pretty to scream.”

"Yeah, she is pretty. Your band's so much nicer than mine. None of you are creepy. Everyone in my band except my brother is. And there's no screaming. Anddd I'm pretty sure we're the only ones that have sex on the bus all the time. I'm not sure though.." Dakota realized that he'd just listed a load of reasons why he should join their band and leave Go No Stop. Every moment he seemed to be convincing himself more and more to join it..</sub>

[CONNOR LIAM QUINN,]

Connor mostly didn’t understand why Koti didn’t want to be with his band because he was hardly with his own band anyways. As far as he could tell everyone in Connor’s band was nice to Koti, and if he joined they would completely accept him and all. They didn’t have any scary members, and weren’t as mean. Connor also really hated Go. No. Stop!’s music, and hated going to see Koti at work, where that was all he could hear.

Hearing Koti’s answer made Connor do a little happy dance on the inside. Connor hardly knew Koti’s family but he knew that Carver didn’t really give a shit about anything. He was a very laid back guys, and just kind of rolled with whatever happened. If their moving in together was up to Carver who would probably say something like ‘Yeah, whatever, I don’t care’ then of course Koti was going to come. A part of Connor probably should feel bad for talking a sixteen year old boy away from him only family member, but Connor felt like he could take care of Koti pretty well. He felt like he could actually do a lot more then Carver did. He already helped him through what is normally a really hard thing for most kids, and Koti seemed perfectly happy being gay now. Connor actually listened to Koti, and from what he knew of Carver, he did not.

Connor felt gross when Koti kissed his neck, he almost pushed him away. “No, don’t lie, I smell like fat old redneck.” Connor said, not exactly to happy that Koti was all up on him right now. Connor loved having Koti touch him and all, but he really did just feel gross. He didn’t stop him because well, Koti was just too darn cute for Connor to tell him too. He instead slipped his arms around Koti and pulled him in even closer, and kissed his lips a few times. Whenever Connor saw Koti all he really wanted to do was kiss him for awhile. Koti, had really soft lips that had pretty much become Connor’s favorite pass time. He never really got enough of them.

Connor laughed, he had heard that line once or twice. “Only the tramps give me that line, and I normally ignore them” Connor thought it was a little dumb that Koti was asking him about girls. Connor hadn’t been interested in girls since he was sixteen. And even when he was they just got dull very fast. He would sleep with them, and then never want to see them again. Connor then would hook up with girls but only date guys. When he became a senior he just had no interest in girls, ever. Now the idea of him dating or fucking a girl was just very strange to him. He couldn’t picture it as hard as he tried. Connor smiled when Koti licked his nose, he always thought that was pretty adorable. “No boys.” That was a lie. Connor had plenty of men hitting on him, Koti had seen it once or twice, but Connor didn’t normally respond. He didn’t want a boy like them. He wanted someone special, and different, who really stood out. Like Koti. Koti was only sixteen and he was already more attractive, and friendly, and better at head then pretty much any boy Connor knew. “Besides, unless it’s a clone of you, you don’t have to worry.” Connor kissed his lips again.

Connor couldn’t lie and say that he wasn’t concerned about Koti getting picked up at work. There were so many guys and girls that would sleep with merch kids just to see the bands bus. Koti, as mature as he could act, didn’t really know relationships that well and could get played pretty easy. “People know your name” Connor said blankly, rather unhappy about the fact. Teenage girls were stalkers and plenty of people already knew that Connor was all over this little merch kid, Koti. Connor hated that fact, since he was very selfish and wanted to keep Koti his. Just his.

Connor smiled because Koti was clearly seeing more pros in joining him then cons. “She is pretty.” Although the talk of Alli made Connor a little scared to have Koti in the band. Alli was also like Connor’s secret. He didn’t want anyone to know what she was going through. He tried to seem like the band was perfect to fans, and to see that he was perfect to Koti. If Koti saw that Connor couldn’t take care of Alli right then maybe he would want to go back. Connor tried to push that thought to the back of his head. “Rae has a lot of sex” Connor nodded. “But they are quiet for the most part.”

[DAKOTA CAIUS PAYNE,]

<sub>Koti could tell Connor didn't actually want him to kiss him right now that much, but Koti really wanted to. He loved kissing Connor, and didn't understand why he was so conscious of himself right now when Koti could really see no problem. He half expected Connor to pull away, but thankfully he didn't.

“No, don’t lie, I smell like fat old redneck.”

Koti popped up from Connor's neck and leaned his forehead against Connor's. "Stop being a douuuche, you smell fine! You smell like Connor, and I like the smell of Connor. It's my favourite smell." He giggled, and then pressed his lips softly against Connor's, and closed his eyes, hugging him a little tighter.

“No boys. Besides, unless it’s a clone of you, you don’t have to worry.”

No boys? Koti could tell that wasn't true. He'd seen guys going up to Connor and talking to him. He started to feel slightly paranoid. Why would Connor feel the need to lie about that? A whole bunch of assumptions ran through Koti's head, and he frowned thinking about them, despite the fact that Connor had reassured him that he only wanted him.

"You do have boys around you. All the time. I've seen them, so why say you don't? Because you don't want me to get suspicious? Because you come back from 'band rehearsals' all sweaty and tell me it's from playing the drums, but actually it's because you've been fucking other men when I'm not around." So Koti's tone was joking, and he knew that it wasn't true, but he was still sort of scared. Because maybe there were other people in his life that Connor liked more. Koti had no idea, and he never would. He was just so scared that Connor would leave him. Koti needed him.

“People know your name”

He shook his head. "Don't think so." He paused to think. "Some girls sometimes know my name. But I like boys, and they don't give a shit about anything but Lucky's scary screaming.. Nobody ever talks to me much anyway, usually they talk to Oli, because he's older than me and cuter than me and.. yeah. He's not as shy as me." He didn't mind much, but sometimes Koti did sort of wish that somebody would pay him a little attention. Even a hello would be nice. But nobody wanted to talk to the boy that looked young enough to be somebody's kid.

“Rae has a lot of sex. But they are quiet for the most part.”

"Well yeah, exactly. That's not as bad because.. she has sex with girls and.. yeah. Anything's better than Venom and Lucky.. they just do it anywhere and everywhere.. all the time. This is why your bus is better. And the fact that you're on there." He began to fiddle with Connor's hair; It was so soft, Koti loved it.</sub>
