"F-O-B, F-O-B!" the crowd chants. Backstage, Pete has Patrick cornered for a good luck kiss before the show. He manages to steal the kiss, but not before the both of them can hear Joe and Andy coming out of their dressing rooms.

"You're going to get us caught one of these days!" Patrick hisses at Pete.

Pete just grins and shrugs. "Maybe we should just tell them already."

"Tell who what?" Joe asks, he and Andy rounding the corner just in time to make the four of them feel very awkward. Pete and Patrick are still standing just a little too close.

Pete looks at Patrick, who has a pained look on his face. Pete is about to tell the other two men to just forget it - they have a show to do, they don’t need to get into this now, anyway - but then Patrick just sighs.

“Tell them.”

Pete raises an eyebrow as if to say “Really?” and gives Patrick a second to back out. When nothing comes, Pete looks over at Andy and Joe.

He only has one chance to make this a Moment. And what better way.

“Best friends, ex-friends ‘till the end …. Better off as lovers…”

“And not the other way around,” Patrick finishes, the sounds coming mostly out of habit.

“I don’t get it,” Andy says slowly, but the look of realization is already dawning on his face.

“Oh man, that song is about you guys? I’m never going to be able to play it now!” Joe exclaims, though he knows there’s no choice. They’ll have to talk about this later. Or maybe never. Never sounds good right now.

And outside, the crowd cheers on.
