Spencer was sitting in the front end of the tour bus, ear buds stuck in his ears, volume at its strategic level to drown out all the foreign sounds of the bus. The running engine, the bunk curtains swishing slightly, and of course, the sounds of the ever loving couple doing their business in the back. It was nothing serious at this point, just a lot of giggling. But Spencer knew, having spent most of his life with those two, that it wouldn't take Ryan and Brendon long to start up something noisy. So he just kept himself busy with his music and air drumming.
It was about an hour later when Jon came out of his bunk and sat on the couch opposite Spencer. He was looking particulary traumatized this time, still not used to the antics of their bandmates. Spencer took an ear bud out to see how bad it was, but heard nothing. Jon noticed his confused look and found some voice to say something.
"They're done, don't worry."
Spencer turned off the music and set down the headphones and drumsticks, as he now had a person to talk to. Which was more fun than another hour of air drumming.
"You're looking a little shaken up there, Jon."
He nodded a little in agreeance, obviously not having the intention of telling Spencer why.
"Any particular reason tonight got to you?" Spencer prodded. Jon wasn't used to the two, but he knew what went on and usually dealt with it fine.
"W-well, you know that bumpy patch of construction we went through about ten minutes ago?"
Spencer raided his mind for a memory of bumpy. He drew a blank until he remembered getting really pissed at the bus bumping around and making his music fall off his lap, ripping the headphones out of his ears. Of course, in his hurried panic getting the earpieces back in, he didn't notice much.
"Yeah, sorta."
"Well, uh, the bumping kinda.." He was starting to turn red and he put a hand behind his head, rubbing it in an almost comical anime-style way.
"Unlatched the back door and it swung open."
He said the words so fast that it took Spencer a bit to process it. But once he got it, he fell of his chair laughing. Jon crossed his arms and pouted, mumbling "It's not funny." Spencer just crawled over to his friend and put his arm around his shoulder, trying to apologize.
"I-I-I'M SO SORRYYYY. THAT, THAT M-M-MUST HAVE BEEN T-T-T-TERRIBLE!" Spencer said between giggles and uproars of laughter. Jon continued to pout.
"You know, if they would just wait until we were in a hotel, this wouldn't happen."
Spencer just giggled.
"Maybe we'll just have to give them a taste of their own medicine sometime."
It wasn't until after the words came out that Spencer realized what he had just suggested. He hoped Jon didn't think it was too weird. I mean, they weren't life long friends like Spencer was with the other two. But Jon just chuckled.
"Alright. But I call dibs on top. I'm not taking the beating if we go over a rouch patch of road."
He smiled and elbowed Spencer, who was sitting up after calming down from his laughing fit. There was a short awkward silence when Spencer just sorta looked at Jon, trying to think of something to say that wouldn't freak him out. Because sometime in the few minutes that the two friends had been sitting in the front of the bus, Spencer realized something. He really liked Jon. More than he probably should. When he came out there looking so distressed, Spencer just wanted to hug him and make it all better. But before he could continue his train of thought, it was interrupted by a soft pair of lips pressing aginst his own. It took a second to register in his mind that they belonged to Jon, who was in fact kissing Spencer. He pulled away with a smile on his face.
"Now you don't have to think of something to say to break the awkward silence."
Spencer was completely dumbfounded.
"Jon, can you read minds?"
Jon took Spencer by the chin, pulling his closer.
"Nah, you're just completely obvious," He whispered before pressing his lips back to Spencer's.
Spencer kissed back, allowing himself to be pushed back onto the couch, Jon now over him. He wasn't sure where it was going until he heard loud "OOOHHHHHHHHHH's" coming from his right. Jon didn't appear to be stopping, so Spencer pushed him off gently, sitting up as much as Jon would allow.
"Um, hey guys" He managed to say to the couple standing there with smirks on their faces. Brendon was shirtless and Ryan has incredibly messy hair. Brendon was tapping his foot with hia arms crossed.
"So, what brings this about, eh?"
Ryan stifled a laugh.
"Well, uh, we..." Spencer was a loss for words, his face turning bright red. He kept stumbling over words until Jon put a finger to his lips, shutting him up.
"If you guys get the back bedroom, then we're laying claim of the living area. Now, if you'll excuse us, we're having a bandmate bonding experience."
Ryan pulled a dumbfounded Brendon to the back of the bus as Jon turned his attention back to Spencer.
"I don't think that was so hard, do you?"
Spencer sighed and wrapped his arms around Jon's waist.
"Just shut up and kiss me before I decide to kill you."
