Love Is Love No Matter the Conditions

I got bored and decided to open one of the curtains and was almost blinded by the camera flashes and a huge amount of people ran to the window I was looking through. I quickly closed it again and ducked down just incase. The boys all looked at me and I told them what had just happened.

"They all ran to the window and were taking pictures of me!" Ben looked at Aaron and Connor and said

"Well. You did leave the arena with Synyster Gates's arm over your shoulders, they're bound to think something of that no?" As I was about to protest Connor piped up

"Yeah, you two seem rather friendly" True, I liked him probably more than I should do especially seeing as he was married but he seemed to like me to.

The door of the bus burst open and the five men ran in, the fans were still shouting goodbyes and the occasional 'I Love You!" could be heard, they all shouted back a goodbye and then the door was closed and the bus began to drive off. The fans still followed the bus until it turned a corner and began to pick up speed. The guys all turned to us and sat down while Johnny went to the fridge and grabbed some beers . I was in my own corner of the makeshift sofa's in the living bit until Syn came and sat rather close to me, gave me a sweet smile and said to Aaron, Connor, Ben and me,

"So, did you enjoy the show?" The boys burst into life and began telling each band member how amazing they were and their favourite song and the best part of the show. I remained silent for the most part, joining in a few of the laughs but I was happy letting them talk. They didn't shut up until Matt asked if they wanted to play COD and they all but ran up the top end of the bus discussing 'prestiges' and types of warfare. I stayed in my seat and suprisingly so did Syn, the rest of the band noticed we were rather cosy and joined Matt and the boys some having to sit on the bunks and lean over so they could see the screen. I turned to look at Syn and he said,

"What I want to know is if you enjoyed the show?" I could feel myself blushing under his gaze as he waited for an answer and replied,

"I loved it, you played amazingly" He grinned and said

"Yeah I was pretty good tonight". I pretended to look shocked and playfully smacked his arm,

"I meant the whole band!" He faked a sad face and I laughed and hugged his arm and said,

"N'aww i'm sorry you were good too" He grinned and returned the hug with one arm but when I went to pull away he pulled me back into a cuddle leaning me onto his side with his left arm over my shoulder and the his right hand found mine and he interlaced his fingers with mine and put our hands on my leg. I turned my head to look at him and he just smiled and said,

"I've wanted to do that all night." All I could do was smile back and lean into his side feeling safe, that's just how I instantly felt about him. He leant his head on mine and said,

"You know, the fans think you're pretty." I turned again to face him and looked shocked.

"They told me" He said.

"What did they say?" He smirked and said

"Well, when I closed the bus door they asked who you were and I told them you were a friend"

"Even though you hardly know me?

"Well I couldn't tell them I brought you backstage because I thought you were gorgeous could I?" He grinned and I just repeated my 'Oh My god" look but leant back down on his side.

"Anyway, they all began telling me they thought you were pretty and then resumed with the general fangirlyness" I giggled at that and I could feel him smiling too.

"So, why didn't you fangirl over us?" I sat up to answer him,

"Mainly because I've always thought that if I was famous then I wouldn't want people screaming at me and just generally having fits when they see me so I decided not to do it if I ever met someone famous" Clearly he wasn't expecting that answer so it was his turn to look shocked. I met his eyes and we just looked at each other for a few seconds until I could see him leaning towards me. I took my hand away from his and put it on his cheek and he leant in further until our lips were millimetres away from eachother. As I closed my eys I could feel his arm over my shouldes sliding down to my waist. As our lips touched I remembered something rather important, I moved my head away and grabbed his left hand to check if he was wearing a wedding ring, thankfully he wasn't. I put his hand back on my waist and moved so I was on his lap straddling his legs and when I turned to look back at him he was smiling

"Well, no-one's ever done that I can promise you" He said still wearing that heart-stopping grin.

"I had to check, i'd feel terrible if I made you cheat on Michelle", I said, with that his face dropped and he looked incredibly sad.

"Well, that's another thing you've said that's shocked me. Incase you're wondering she cheated on me, alot, and I got fed up of it" I wasn't really shocked, it was common knowledge between fans that there was infidelity in their marriage and i'd never understood why he put up with it.

"I don't think i'll ever understand why she would cheat on you, you seem pretty perfect to me" I said, he smiled and said,

"Well thank you, I must say you seem perfect to me" I sighed and replied

"I'm far from perfect" I smiled a little to myself and had a thought "What's my name?"

"What he did next was so cute, his mouth formed a little o shape and he said

"I don't know, I feel such a whore. I'm sitting here with you on my lap trying to get the courage to kiss you and I don't even know your name"

I giggle and said

"It's Lucy, do I call you Synyster or Brian?"

"That's a pretty name, you can call me what you like"

"I'll stick to Syn for casual stuff and Brian for serious stuff, how about that?" He smiled and said

"That's fine" I looked into his gorgeous brown eyes and leant forward slightly so our lips were close and I could feel myself blushing but I didn't care. He did the same so our lips were touching and slid his hands down so one was on my waist and the other on my lower back, I moved one of mine to his chest and the other fiddling with a little tuft of hair at the top of his neck and closed my eyes. Now he started the kiss and just pecked my lips a few times until I used my tounge to signify I wanted more. I parted my lips slightly and he did the same and the kiss deepend until a voice behind us said

"Guys! Not on the sofa! We all use those" I turned round to see that Matt had been the one to interrupt and he was on the brink of laughter because I looked so shocked. The rest of the band and Aaron, Connor and Ben came down to our end of the bus to see what was going on and they all gave the same shocked look.

"You know, a picture would last longer" I said, slightly annoyed but more dissapointed and I got off Syn's lap and sat next to him instead. They all tried not to laugh but I could see them snickering until Aaron said

"Well at least you've solved the problem with the lack of bunks" I looked at Syn and he smiled at me. Then my phone rung and I saw it was my mum,

"Hey!" She sounded really tired so I asked her,

"Hey, why you still up it's got to be at least 1am. What time is it?" I could hear her moving and my dad grunting as she moved him so she could see the alarm clock that was by their bed.

"It's half past one, you having a good time?" I smiled, looked at Syn and he took my free hand and laced his fingers with mine again and laid them on his leg, I smiled even more and said,

"I'm having a brilliant time, the guys are really lovely." Syn grinned at me and started talking to the guys quietly,

"Ok, make sure they look after you and ring me when you wake up ok?"

"Yeah, they will. I will but I have no clue when that'll be" I finished with a small laugh and she did the same,

"Don't be a lazy bugger, get up at a decent time"

"I'll try, night mum"

"Goodnight Lucy, love you"

"Love you mother, night" I clicked off the phone call and put my phone on the worktop along with my bag. We all watched television for about a hour until Zacky said,

"We probably should go to bed, we've got a radio show in nine and a half hours and we all know who gets cranky if they don't get enough sleep" He finished looking at Johnny who promptly picked up a cushion and threw it at Zacky who threw it back with amazing speed so it hit Johnny square in the face. Never-the-less we all slowly got up and moved towards the bunks, Matt put the pullout beds up by the door for Aaron and Connor while Syn put the one at the other end of the bus up for Ben while we stood by the worktops I gave each of the guys a hug before standing by the bunks waiting for Syn. It took them all of two minutes and Matt dug into a cupboard and found some pajama bottoms that looked like they would fit,

"Here, they're Vals, she left them here last week. You're a little shorter than her so they may be a bit long but they're gonna be comfortable to sleep in" He said looking at my leggins and smiling. I took the pajama bottoms off Matt and said,

"Thanks" and smiled at him, he returned the smile and before he got into his bunk I added,

"I'm shorter than everyone so I never find trousers the right length anyway" He turned with a laugh and said,

"Hey you can be the new dwarf on the bus then" He gave me a quick wink before clambering up and settling down in his bunk. Syn pointed out the little toilet room thing and got into his bunk, I made sure I knew which one it was before I got into the wrong bunk because that could be rather awkward. As Matt said the trousers were long but much more comfortable than the leggings. I came back and put my trousers at the bottom of Syn's bunk, it was in the middle so I had to step on the bottom one to climb up. Syn was waiting, I hadn't realised just how big they were and found I had to shuffle over to him, I faced him and snuggled into his chest. He took one of my hands in his and put his other arm over my waist and pulled me closer until he had wrapped his entire arm around my back.

"I'm so glad I met you tonight." He whispered into my ear and I felt a shudder go up my spine.

"Me too" I said pushing my face into his chest wanting to be as close as possible and he kissed my forehead and kept his head there so I could feel his lips on the top of my head. I closed my eyes and must have fallen asleep in about five minutes, lying there with him felt brilliant, I felt safe and enjoyed every minute of lying there with him.
