“It’s too hot!” Alex whined as he flopped down into the seat next to Matt, his eyes trained on the crowds of people wandering past their tent. “Why is summer so fucking hot?” In front of him, Vinny merely flipped him off and then proceeded to step out into the partial sunlight to take care of one of the girls who had come up to buy a shirt…and then squeal about Alex hiding in the tent.
“Because it’s summer and that’s what summer does. That’s what it’s good at anyway.” Matt didn’t look up from where he was hurriedly typing out a message on his phone. “Just down a bottle of water and call it a day.”
“I’d rather douse myself in a bottle of water,” Alex replied, shrugging a little as he reached into the cooler, fishing around for a bottle of water. “It’d be so much more convenient than drinking it, and it’d cool me down better.”
“Actually, not true,” Matt muttered as he punched the send button and leaned back in his chair a little bit. “Did you know that if you hydrate your body, then you’ll cool yourself down better than if you douse yourself in water?”
Alex looked over at Matt and he laughed a little bit. “Dude, you’re such a geek for knowing that,” he declared before flipping open the cap to his water bottle. Within seconds, he was pouring the icy cold liquid into his mouth, gulping it down as quickly as possible.
“I know,” Matt replied with a hint of a smile. “But it’s one of the reasons that you love having me around as your tour manager. So that I can spout random facts at you and Jack and get you two so confused. Sometimes you two are just that brainless.”
“Sassy.” Alex realized that he was having trouble forming the words that he was attempting to say because of the fact that the cold had taken over his mouth. “Damn, Flyzik. The heat must be affecting you or something because you’re never this sassy when you’re around us.”
Matt shrugged a little bit, ignoring Vinny’s stare from across the tent. “I suppose,” he mumbled as he pulled his phone back out, a small smile on his face as he opened the text.
Alex noticed the distraction and he instantly paused from inhaling the water in his water bottle to lean over the seat. “Who’s that? A girl of yours or something?” he asked in a teasing voice as he tried to read the text message. Matt let out a little laugh and he flipped the phone so that Alex could read it.
“Yeah, a girl who just booked you guys on Saturday Night Live,” Matt replied with a small laugh, showing Alex that the text message was from the assistant producer of the show and that it was legitimate.
Alex’s eyes widened slightly as he read the tiny words. “No, shit! Really!?” He couldn’t believe it. All Time Low had been wanting to be on that stage for ages now, and Flyzik making it come true. That was just…fuck yeah! “Flyzik, you rock!” he exclaimed as he jumped out of his seat and pumped his fist into the air.
Behind him, Matt laughed a little bit before he reached into the cooler and pulled out a handful of ice, dumping some of it onto his head to chill himself off before popping a piece or two into his mouth. “Happy, Gaskarth?”
“Fuck yes!” Alex exclaimed as he turned around, staring at Matt with a grin on his face. “God, I’m so happy that I could…kiss you!” Before Matt even had the chance to comment on that one, Alex moved forward and he pressed his lips to the man’s, catching him in an intense, happy and passionate kiss.
Matt froze for a moment before he began to slowly kiss back, his lips parting almost instantly beneath Alex’s. It was strange, how much the singer could manage to get him to react with just a simple pressing of lips together. He parted his lips just a little bit more as he felt Alex’s tongue slide against his lower lip, begging for entrance, so he allowed it to enter.
It was almost at the point where Matt had forgotten that he had had those ice cubes in his mouth until Alex’s tongue wrapped around one and sucked it out of his mouth, pulling it into the singer’s instead. With that, Alex pulled back, a triumphant grin on his face.
“Got it!” he exclaimed before he crunched down on the ice, letting the cold liquid drip down the back of his throat. “Damn, we’re going to be on SNL and I got to kiss you? This is turning out to be a very great day.” From somewhere behind him, Vinny snickered, but Alex didn’t even give a fuck at this point. Flyzik was grinning, Alex was happy and All Time Low was going to be on SNL. That really was all that mattered to him.
Alex was so damn happy that he hadn’t even realized that a group of fangirls had appeared in front of the tent and had been snapping pictures of him kissing Matt. Luckily for the singer, he wasn’t the type to regret things, so when that picture showed up online the next day with rumors of Alex Gaskarth having a new boyfriend, he just laughed it off.
After all, he got to kiss Flyzik. Wasn’t that really all that mattered?
