Story:
Boys Sensation (this piece is called "Backstage Pranks")
Timeline: Summer 2027
Summary: It has been established: little!Hunter is a right little jerk. This further proves it.
Notes: I feel like I'm not taking these prompts seriously.
This one area off to the corner in the backstage area was perfect for hiding. Hunter and David had discovered it last tour and high fived each other when they learned their dads were going to be playing this venue again.
It had become a tradition where Hunter and David spent the tour pulling pranks on Aimee and Melody. Sure, it meant they were in trouble quite a bit, but to them it was worth it. Every time out they received was worth the rush they got when they poked their heads from the shadows and made the girls scream.

Story:
Boys Sensation (this piece is called "Ryder")
Timeline: 1996
Summary: Almost all kids love Great Danes.
Notes: Well I just wrote myself a plot hole I need to fix, so to speak. Apparently Dylan's parents just told me they decided to divorce before his dad died (he's 3½ here - and his mom's dating other men, but my piece "Daddy," which is at his dad's funeral, has him at 4.) Or I just failed to check my previous works before recording this. Nah, going with the former.

Story:
Boys Sensation (this piece is called "Girls, Girls, Girls (Except When It's Boys)")
Timeline: Summer 2009
Summary: Aidan just doesn't get it.
Notes: So, it looks like I'm going into vague, throwaway references to the prompt as part of the bigger story, at least for the first two. You know, I never really went into Aidan's and Luke's questioning of their sexuality because I knew what it was going to be, so there. But now I feel it needs to be explored. So, here we go. Also, damn it Aidan. What is this? I never planned for this. I guess it makes sense though, at this point in time.
Aidan was too scared to admit he wasn't really feeling all the attention from their female fan base. Nic and Dylan ate it up, however.
Dylan looked out his hotel room window. "Holy hell! Look at all of them!" he leaned out the window and waved, soaking up all the screams. "I love it."
Nic soon followed. "I know, bro, I know." He leaned out the window next, blowing kisses to entice more screams. "It doesn't help that some of them are hot as hell."
That was what Aidan didn't understand, he thought as he went over to the window and let out a shy wave as soon as Nic and Dylan left. He sat there, looking at the the gaggle of girls crowded around their hotel, wondering where he went wrong. This had been what he wanted. He had wanted it more than anything he had ever wanted before. And now that he had it, he didn't want it?
Well, okay. He wanted it, but not in the same way Nic and Dylan wanted it.
He knew the look, the one Nic got when he looked out the window. What the swallow meant. What the slight shift of his pants meant. Aidan got that look, that swallow, made that same shift. But not from looking at the fans.
No, Aidan got it from looking at Nic. And Dylan. And even Luke.
He sat straight up as he realized what was going on. He was gay. Aidan was gay. He couldn't even try to pull off the "I'm bisexual" excuse. Because he wasn't. Girls did nothing for him.
He left the window to lay on his bed. He knew he couldn't tell a single soul, cause it would break Boys Sensation, and that was something he couldn't bear to do.
