Good Morning, Sunshine

[will kellough]

Whenever Will felt like the world was collapsing around him, he did one of two things - he either secluded himself away with his guitar, or he found a payphone and called his sisters.

He felt like he couldn't handle hearing Carrie and Maggi's voices just now, so he chose to take his acoustic and find somewhere to just sit. He didn't neccisarily play - he just liked to have it with him, just in case. Like a comfort piece.

Will wasn't sure if his friendship with Dante was damaged at all, now that he knew that his best friend since childhood had ben lying to him about his sexual orientation, or his sex life in general. It was kind of heartbreaking, in a modest sort of way. Will thought he could trust Dante with anything - and this new revelation had shaken him a little bit.

After being out for several hours, with a coolata from Dunkin Donuts in hand and his guitar strapped to his back, Will returned to the caravan. With any luck, Dante would be there, and maybe he and Will could go out for dinner, talk, try to set things right.

"Te?" Will called as he stepped inside. "Te, you around?"

[gabe gray´]

Do you know who I am?
Good, neither do I.

Waking up was not one of Gabe’s strengths. It was worse when he was actually having a pleasant dream that didn’t include anything like a car crashing or him getting married with a younger version of his mother. But this time, as he opened his eyes, a pleasant sight made him happy to have woken up. The day before had not been a dream, he was still on Dante’s bed, the younger boy wrapped in his arms. There was no better way to wake up, in his opinion. Sighing contently, Gabe kissed the top of his boyfriend’s forehead, cuddling once again and closing his eyes for a brief moment.

Someone yelling outside the room made him open his eyes once again. He frowned, contemplating whether or not to get up and tell whoever it was to keep quiet. Deciding that it was better for him to walk out than to have someone walk in, Gabe pulled the covers over Dante before getting up from the bed.

He opened the door and saw a rather skinny guy stepping into the caravan, obviously looking for Dante. Yawning, Gabe waved at him and looked back inside the room. “He’s still sleeping, but I can try to wake him up if you want.” He remembered his manners and took a few steps forward, hand outstretched. “I’m Gabe, by the way, Dante’s boyfriend.”

Dante shuffled a bit when he felt his boyfriends kiss on his head. He let out a soft moan before sighing and going back into his sleeping state. Dreaming was one of those strange things that happened to people, he never really had good dreams, last night had been a nice one though. He was with Gabe, on a beach (Yeah a typical dream!), they were laying together on the golden sand, all snuggled togther watching the tide come up the beach slowly.

Dante wiggled a bit more after Gabe got out of bed and moved to wrap his arms around him. After feeling nothing there his eyes opened. He took a glance around the room. Had he left him during the night? Was he Dreaming everything that happened? He got up and straightened his top. He scratched his head and headed towards the door, befor hearing voices. One voice which confirmed that he wasn't dreaming, yes it was Gabes. The other belonged to his best friend Will Kellough. He heard Gabe say that he was still asleep and introducing himself. Te sighed and smiled before opening the door.

He walked out of his room, to see Gabe holding his hand out for Will to shake. "Morning!" He groaned as he walked over and wrapped his arms around Gabe's waist. He smiled at Will. "What's up mate?" He asked looking around the room. He looked up to Gabe and pressed a kiss onto his lips. "Glad to see you've introduced eachother." He said, smiling as he turned to Will. He let go of Gabe and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a can of coke. "Anyone else want one?" He asked looking around.

[will kellough]

The tall, lean young man with the olive skin tone and curly black hair slinked out from the sleeping quarters in a state of undress. Will knew who he was before he opened his mouth - the infamous Gabe Gray, of Sighted South. Of course he knew Gabe. Who didn't? But due to the fact so many people - nine bands, including their roadies and techs and support - were involved in this tour, it was hard to get to intimately know every single person. Will couldn't say he'd actually sat down and had conversations with less than half of the people on Euphoria. But Gabe Gray was amongst the notorious. He heard stories about Gabe Gray, and was wary of him.

"B-boyfriend?!" Will sputtered, backing away slowly. "I--wait--what?!" When did this happen? What the hell is going on? And how long has this been going on? He did not shake Gabe's hand, nor did he want to. As soon as Dante meandered into the room, Will had to shove his hands in his pockets to keep from punching one of them in the face. "What's up mate? Glad to see you've introduced eachother." How could he be so damned casual? Will atched the scene unfold before his eyes - Te and Gabe sharing a kiss, then Te strolling over to the fridge...it was too much.

"What the HELL is going on here?!" Will blurted.

[gabe gray´]

Got nothing to say
but if you pay me I can play the fool.

Uh, oh…

Just when Gabe thought that nothing bad was going to happen again, one of Dante’s band members seemed to not like him that much. It was obvious when Will took a few steps backwards, sputtering things that Gabe was almost sure were not words to congratulate Dante and him for their relationship. His worries disappeared, for a brief moment, as his boyfriend appeared, wrapping his arms around Gabe’s waist and kissing him softly. Now that’s the kind of thing he liked. Smiling, he turned back to look at Will, only to realize he wasn’t going to shake his hand.

He was feeling like an idiot, more when Will questioned them with a not so pleasant voice. Gabe squirmed, taking a few steps back to avoid saying anything wrong. It wasn’t his band’s caravan meaning he had no right to say anything to Will. It was more Will’s caravan than his so whatever the guy said had to be done. His eyes moved from the skinny boy to his boyfriend, not knowing exactly what to say. Dante knew Will, he was supposed to be the one put on the spot, not Gabe.

“I guess this means I should go, right? Right.” Not waiting for anyone to kick him out or tell him to stay, Gabe walked back into Dante’s room to retrieve his shoes. It wasn’t surprising that Will wasn’t too happy to meet him. Who could blame him? Almost half of the people on the festival thought that Gabe was a bastard, why even give him a chance to prove that label had been wrongly given to him?

[joanna]

Jayson slumped back against the wall just a small way from the bands caravan. He had pretty much stayed out all night wandering like a lost sheep. In one hand, he held a bottle of water and the other hand was resting neatly in his jacket pocket. He glanced around while sipping his drink, seeing nobody around, he sighed to himself and closed his eyes for a moment. He was completely bored and he had no idea where anyone else was and he refused to go back to an empty caravan. Or was it empty? He wondered to himself, shifting his eyes to and from the still caravan.

Jay kicked the floor below him boredly. Hearing a sudden commotion from the bands caravan, his attention was caught and he pushed himself up from the wall. Arching an eyebrow, he headed on over, still drinking from the bottle of water. He didn’t enter right away and instead pressed his ear again the door. He heard nothing for a moment and once he heard shuffling, he opened the door and entered. Taking a large gulp of the water as he entered and saw Will, his eyes finally set on Te and someone from another band. The water went down the wrong whole and he choked as the unknown guy disappeared into Dante’s bedroom.

Still spluttering from choking, Jayson finally managed to breathe again. He looked at each person, a look of horror in his eyes and finally he spoke, quite loudly. ‘What.. on earth is going on?’ He set his drink down and awaited a reply, just like Will seemed to be. But rather than waiting patiently, he turned to Will and nodded. ‘Isn’t this a lovely surprise?’ he asked sarcastically.

Dante left his room and saw Will standing there with a look of utter horror on his face. Dante didn't really care, he still showed the same affection for Gabe as he would if they weren't around. He looked at Will, what was his problem? He already knew what was going on. "You know exactly what's going on Will! I told you the other day, like you asked me to, what's your problem!" He yelled back.

Soon after that Jayson walked in, he hadn't been in all night either, he walked in taking a huge gulp of water. "Gabe, is my boyfriend and that is that, if you don't like it then it's your problem not mine!" He growled looking at both Will and Jay now. "And yes, I thought it was a lovely surprise myself." He added. “I guess this means I should go, right? Right.”

[/color] Gabe said as he walked into Dante's room to collect his shoes. Dante merely gasped, he couldn't leave him now, he needed him there.

"How could you two be so selfish! Why can't you be happy for me!" He cried, a few tears formed in his eyes. How could his friends do that to him, he had finally found someone he loved with all of his heart and the two had already said they didn't mind and now they were treating them both like shit.

He followed Gabe back into his room. "Don't leave..." He trailed off looking into his eyes. He felt so sorry for him, he had done nothing but love Dante and he was already being treated like shit. "You didn't deserve that! Please don't leave.." He begged as he walked up and hugged him, a tear ran freely down his face now, why should he hide his emotions at that moment, his best friends had just ruined the best day and a bit of his life. He took a deep breath, wiped away the tears and kissed Gabe before dragging him back out of the room.

He stood with him in front of Will and Jay. "You see this man here!" He spoke sternly pointing to Gabe. He turned back to the two. "He is not leaving! So either you two stop being such pricks or fuck off 'cause we were here first!" He hissed as he turned back to hug Gabe. He didn't want him to feel like he was an outcast in his caravan, although he probably was because he was from a different band but Dante refused to let people put him down. He looked back at the two. "So what's it going to be? And choose wisely 'cause I will leave too." He growled.

[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[will kellough]

"Lovely suprise? Yeah you're telling me!" Will snapped angrily towards Dante. He felt like his heart was breaking. He felt so betrayed. It was just one thing after another and he felt a surge of hatred flow through his body towards Dante and Gabe - which, in all honesty, wasn't even fair; he didn't even know Gabe. But the fact that he was there, in his caravan, half-dressed and possibly did something with Dante ... Will wanted to punch and kick and scream and throw a tantrum. He wanted to scream, TE IS MY BEST FRIEND! MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!

Will heard Gabe saying, “I guess this means I should go, right? Right.” As soon as he heard that, Will could not control his mouth.

"Yeah, that's EXACTLY what it means!" Will shouted in Gabe's direction. "You SHOULD go!"

He whirled around on Te and began to spout, "How could you do this?! I'm not being selfish - I don't know about Jay, but I'm DEFINITELY not being selfish. I'm being reasonable. How can you fuck someone in another band?! What the hell is that all about?! You couldn't find an eager and willing fan to use as a dick pump?!"

[gabe gray´]

If you need me I’m your man.
But you don’t wanna see me mad.

Dante didn’t deserve the problems Gabe was causing. He had known that the other band members were not going to accept the relationship. After everything that had been said about Gabe, he really couldn’t blame the people that didn’t want him in their lives. But he couldn’t do anything now. There was no turning back. There was no time machine that could take him back and prevent himself from falling in love with Dante. Even if he had a time machine he wouldn’t have stopped what was inevitable. They were meant to love each other and no one, especially other band members, was going to stop them.

He snaked an arm around Dante’s shoulders, squeezing him lightly. Shaking his head, Gabe glared at Will. “You’re right, you’re not being selfish, but you’re not being reasonable either. What you’re being is stupid. We didn’t do anything wrong. And I can assure you that Dante didn’t use me as a dick pump. So shut the fuck up.” There went the promise he had done to himself of making a good first impression. It was Will’s fault, who could say so many stupid things together? His eyes turned to Jay and he suddenly felt guilty. “Sorry.” The other guy hadn’t said or done anything wrong. He had all the right to ask what Gabe was doing there.

“I’m not leaving, not until Dante kicks me out of here.” Gabe looked down at Dante and smiled. It was hard for him to stay since he didn’t want any problems with any other bands. There were enough problems with Scheduled Nurse to keep him worried for the rest of the festival. But if Will wanted a problem, Gabe could easily have a problem with just one band member. That is, if that didn’t make Dante’s life more complicated.

[joanna]

Jay arched an eyebrow at Dante who was super angry. All Jay had asked was what was going on. He had heard the commotion from outside and came to find out what was happening. And then ends up shouted at. He honestly wished he had stayed out now, perhaps he could have gone to see his own girlfriend rather than sorting out the arguments happening. Jayson’s eyes widened and he laughed sarcastically. ‘Me? selfish? I only came in to ask what was happening so don’t get all big-headed about it, thinking that you’re right while everyone is wrong.’

Jay took another gulp of his water, sighing slightly at Te. He said nothing while they discussed who was leaving and who was staying. He stood there, humming to himself. How Jay sometimes hated arguing, but it was quite amusing. But the fact he was being dragged into something he didn’t do or take part in, pissed him off completely. And he was sure to set things straight with Dante whether he liked it or not.

Hearing a sorry from Gabe, he nodded, before listening to Will. A few things he said, were humorous but Jay held back a laugh. In fact, he was quite close to choking on his drink if he wasn’t careful. ‘Well, isn’t this a fun little gathering? I’d love to have another one sometime. Play a little chess and argue y’know.’ Jay rolled his eyes at his probably crap joke. But he didn’t know what else to say. He couldn’t exactly have a go at Te just at that minute for calling him selfish. No matter how much he wanted to shout at the guy. He had to control himself.

Dante's eyes widened in anger. What the fuck was Will doing telling him what to do with his sex life. "Oh yeah! Coming from someone who's scared to even talk to them!" He hissed back at him, he hated this argumet there was no point in it, they already knew he was dating Gabe what was the big deal with it. "And I didn't fuck him at all, we got into bed and watched TV." He spoke sternly, correcting Will. It was one thing to be annoyed at him, but telling him what he was doing, that was just a bit too much for him. He really wanted to go and punch him straight in the face, but at the same he didn't because he was his best friend. Or supposed to be.

Dante looked down to the floor when Gabe told Will what he thought. He really didn't want them to fight, he loved Gabe as his lover and Will as his brother, but what Will was doing now was just completely out of order. "There, now you heard it from both of us! he didn't fuck me, I didn't fuck him so just back off!" He growled as a tear ran down his face. He felt safe under Gabes arm, like he would always be protected if he was there with him. He closed his eyes, and just blocked everyone out for a few seconds before looking back. Gabe was apologizing to Jay, this caused Te to smile, at least Gabe did apologize.

Gabe told the other two that he would not leave until Dante had kicked him out. He smiled slightly. Dante took hold of his hand and looked at Will. "So unless you want me out aswell, he's not leaving!" He said smiling a sarcastic smile, whilst rubbing the top of Gabe's hand with his thumb. "Y'know Will why couldn't you have done this to me when I told you I was dating Gabe. You already knew and yet now you're acting like you've just found out again. You're meant to be my best friend and you're treating me like dirt. I'll date who I like and if you don't like it then tough!" He spoke, firmly looking into his eyes. "I Love you Gabe." He said smiling as he looked up to him and rested his head on his shoulder for a minute.

Jay laughed sarcastically when he had said they were both being selfish. Dante looked over to him when he spoke. "I never said everyone was wrong.... I just think Will's being out of order. And I didn't mean you, so I'm sorry." He explained to Jay as he looked away. It was true, Jay had done nothing wrong and Dante was swearing at him and being really nasty. He looked around the caravan for a while, viewing all the pictures on the walls and other such items. He went to the fridge and grabbed another Coke, drinking it rather quickly, he placed the can on the side next to him and then interlocked His and Gabe's hands.

Jay obviously had acknowledged Gabe's apology to him. It seems like both Dante and Gabe knew he had noting to do with it. Dante watched Will furiously before Jay started being sarcastic with more jokes. "Seriously Jay, stop acting like nothing's wrong, I know you might be trying to help... or not I don't know but stop, this is serious to me!" He cried as he turned away and headed back into his room to get dressed. He pulled out a tight black top, which was stretchy so it fit him quite nicely and a pair of black skinny Jeans. He threw them on along with his Trainers and just sat on the bed for a few moments, rubbing a few tears away from his eyes and holding back the rest.

Sighing he layed back and fiddled with his hair for a few more moments before getting back up, straightening the bed and heading back outside to stand with Gabe. "Now. Are you done? Because if you are. We're going back into my room to watch TV, away from you." He hissed.

[will kellough]

Will was pretty pissed as words were slung back and forth between Jay and Dante and Gabe and himself. He felt so completely and utterly betrayed by his best friend; and Gabe's appearence wasn't helping much, all smug and cocky.

Oh yeah! Coming from someone who's scared to even talk to them! Now that had hurt the most. So Will was shy - big fucking deal. Will had been shy since he was four years old. Why the fuck was Dante throwing that in his face? It wasn't fair, damn it, it wasn't fair! He felt a horrible pressure in his chest, like he was about to cry, and his cheeks burned hot. But he'd be damned if the other guys were going to see him cry.

"I don't give a fuck who you date!" Will shouted. "You could be dating Marilyn Manson for all I care - I just would like a little head's up! You think I LIKED coming in here and finding Gabe half dressed? It's not fucking fair to me! I live here too, you selfish fuck, I deserve a little respect, too!"

[gabe gray´]

Prostitution is revolution.
You can hate me, after you pay me.

Before meeting Dante, Gabe had been almost certain the caravan his band occupied was the craziest one on the festival. Now, the shake it ups members were proving him wrong. Everyone there had problems and needed serious help, especially Jayson. Gabe blinked a few times, looking at the other guy with disbelief. Was he seriously trying to make a joke out of the situation at hand? Sure, he had heard of it working and being one of the safest ways to solve problems but, seriously, they were already pretty fucked up with two screaming guys. Surely joking about playing chess was not going to help the situation. He wasn’t the only one not believing Jayson’s technique, Dante wasn’t too happy of his friend joking either.

For what seemed like hours, Gabe was left alone with Dante’s friends that were strangers to him. Never before had he felt more awkward. It was one of those bad awkward moments that couldn’t be remedied with one of his old jokes or comments. He studied Will, the guy seemed like he was going to explode. Could that really happen? It seemed Gabe’s question was going to be answered pretty soon. Seeing a head exploding was about the last thing he needed to see in order to die happy, that and seeing someone win against a chicken on tic tac toe. Fortunately, Dante was back. They were both going to see Will’s head explode. That was, if Gabe’s didn’t explode first.

“What the fuck is your problem!? Don’t call Dante a selfish fuck!” He pushed the other guy as hard as he could, forgetting about trying to be friends with his boyfriend’s friends. Will was going to get a big ‘fuck you’ from Gabe. If he wanted to act like an idiot, he was free to do it. It was a free country, as far as Gabe was concern being stupid wasn’t against the constitution. “You don’t deserve respect asshole. Earn it first before asking for it.” Oh great, he was now sounding just like his father. What was going to happen next? Gabe was probably going to start wearing suits and hiring bodyguards to beat people up. That last thing wasn’t such a bad idea. Maybe he could just get his father’s bodyguards to show Will how to give other people respect. Nah, he wasn’t that mean.

[joanna]

It was just Jay’s luck to come back to the caravan and end up arguing with his band mate over his lover. Why on earth did he bother to come back? He should have remained outside where he was at least happy. In fact, he blamed Dante and Dante alone for not bothering to tell them that he was seeing someone. It was a bit of a shock walking in on them let alone knowing he had turned bisexual. Jayson left the room while the others argued amongst one another. He went into his own room and slumped down onto the bed, covering his whole body with the covers.

He attempted to block out all the arguing but he could hear it very clearly. He took his phone from his pocket and looked at the time, before sliding it away again and shifting his eyes towards the door. He groaned under his breath and pushed himself up from the bed, still listening to the shouting of Will and Te. Jayson removed his jacket and slid open his cupboard door. He took a hanger out and put the jacket on it before taking out another jacket and putting it on.

He left his bedroom and quietly wandered past the arguing group and grabbed his bottle of water. Slumping down onto a chair and putting one leg over the other, he took another gulp of the cold liquid. Much better than drinking alcohol he must admit. The situation was getting tenser by the minute and the clocks were sure ticking fast. He remained quiet while Will and Te finished off their little argument before he noticed that Te was looking towards him. He blinked slightly and removed the bottle from his lips just as the guy spoke.

Jay’s eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth together; standing up onto his two feet and throwing the bottle of water onto the chair. It was obvious that Te wasn’t pleased with his attempt to cheer up the mood and it was now clear that he too wasn’t impressed by his band mate’s response. He clenched his fist as well as his teeth and he glared at Te as he left the room. Soon, one of them was going to burst Jay’s bubble and he was going to end up hurting someone. It was just his and their luck right now. As Te entered the room again, Jay glanced at him.

‘You seriously have issues, Pal. You say this is serious, yet, you never bothered to let your “friends” know that you were dating someone. We probably would have made a bit more of an effort to get along but right now, I’m seriously not going to. I was attempting to cheer up the atmosphere but you’re too fucked up in your head to bother to encourage it.’ he replied to Te’s comment, but not as loudly. His voice was more of an angry voice than anything. Rather than carrying on, he awaited Te’s reply as well as listened to the argument carry on. Then Gabe started and Jay’s eyes darted towards him. He watched closely as Gabe pushed Will but he refrained from saying anything and turned back to Te.

’Go watch fucking tele then. You always like to run away from arguments don’t you?’ He kept his fist and teeth clenched, watching for any sudden movements from either of the pair. In fact, Jay was half expecting Te to whack him one or something. But, he’d just get one in return.

I just dont know why do I need you? [/b][/center]

Dante's eyes shot up as Will told him that he deserved respect as well. "Oh, well I'm terribly sorry that no one was in last night so I took the chance to have my boyfriend over, and then you walk in and wake us up!" He shouted, not knowing if what he was saying was making any sense anymore. He felt as if he wanted to cry. He couldn't though, not then, he couldn't show any weakness. " Besides, if you ever brought someone back would you see me complain? I'd be happy for you. But I guess that's asking too much from you isn't it?" He asked as he laughed visciously.

Dante gasped as Gabe lashed out at Will. "Gabe..." He squealed, looking away. He thought Will was in for it now. He turned around as Gabe was telling Will that he didn't deserve any respect because he didn't give any to anyone else. Dante's eyes were beginning to tear up. He could not allow that to happen. He took a deep breath and pretended his eyes were itching to wipe away the tears. "Don't worry. Gabe just leave it, if he wants to continue let him, it will only show how much of a friend he really is." He said glaring at Will once more.

Jay then butted in after Dante had a go at him. Could this get any worse. "Well yes it is serious actually you arse hole! How am I meant to tell you when we've been together a day!? Excuse me for not disturbing your night out just to ring you up and say 'oh look I have a boyfriend' that's just stupid!" He hissed at him, glaring at him whilst doing so. What the hell was the problem here. Yeah, Gabe was topless, but to be honest it didn't matter, he looked hot anyway! But nonetheless, if either Will or Jay had brought a lover home he wouldn't have minded.

As he went to walk away Jay started again saying that he always ran from fights. He wasn't running, he was just leaving it because they were his friends, but now he had gone a bit to far. He turned around, not caring about the tears in his eyes anymore. He walked over to him quickly and sent a fist into his jaw. "Well I'm trying to fucking keep our friendships here by leaving the fight but there you go Jay I'm so glad you said that! I need someone to hit at the moment!" He bellowed as tears ran down his fave. Obviously their friendship wasn't going to last much longer. It was so stupid, all over his Boyfriend. He shook the thoughts from his mind as he knew Jay would get back up and hit him soon, he got into a fighting position ready to defend himself.
