The Unlikely Couple, chapter 1

Unlikely? Unforeseen? Unheard of. People always suspected it, but they didn't take it too seriously. But what was really going on between them? Anything? You bet there was.

Brendon turned over in his bed and looked at the alarm clock on his bedside table; 7.00 a.m. He sighed and turned over to face the ceiling. Thoughts flooded his head, thoughts of the new album, thoughts of the upcoming concert and thoughts of... Ryan.

Ryan was asleep in the next room. They were staying in some fancy hotel in London while they waited for their next concert. A tour bus is okay to live on, but only for a little while, whenever they got a chance to stay in a hotel they'd grab the oppurtunity. But these things didn't come up too often. The manager just happened to like their band and give them some rooms for free. Brilliant!

Brendon sighed again and got up. He dressed into the usual: Black shirt and black skinny jeans. He glanced at the pictures of him and Ryan together thought longingly of the other day.

CRASH!

What the...?

About five minutes later Ryan staggered into his room, by the looks of it still asleep.

"What was that noise?" asked Brendon inquiringly.

"Er..." Ryan looked down embarrassed, "I fell out of my bed...again," he mumbled.
Brendon laughed.

"Oh shut up Bren!" Ryan yelled and stormed out of the bedroom.
Not in a good mood I take it then Brendon thought to himself. He laugh sighed and turned to the mirror to sort his hair out.

Half an hour later Brendon, Ryan, Spencer and Jon were gathered around a table eating breakfast and discussing the plans for the concert that evening.

"So we're having the dancers like normal?" asked Jon.

"Mmhm," mumbled Brendon, "and can we do a cover of 'Another Girl Another Planet' please?"

"Yeah sure," they all agreed.

So it was all set up for tonight. Everything. Brendon couldn't wait to unleash his surprise to the audience...
