Soon after that, it just became habit for Logan to crawl into bed with Lewis and Alex. Neither of them really cared, because hey, it was easier for Lewis to keep an eye on his drunk best friend and boyfriend if they were close.

The first time anything really happened was when Logan and Alex were coming back from a party. One minute, they're stumbling into the elevator, then as soon as the doors closed, Alex's lips were on Logan's.

The kiss was brief, and left Logan a bit stunned, obviously. Alex had a little crooked smile on his face as the elevator doors opened, and the two of them headed towards their room.

Before Alex could swipe his keycard, Logan found it in himself to say, "Don't do anything to hurt him. And don't drag me into it."

"I won't. It'll be fine," Alex slurred, unlocking the door.

Unlike normal, Lewis was awake, staring at the muted television as he chewed on the cuff of his hoodie sleeve. He didn't say anything at first, but he did let Alex give him a kiss on his way to his suitcase.

As soon as Logan sat down on the other bed, Lewis climbed over and leaned against his friend. "Nightmares suck," he mumbled, closing his eyes.

Logan made a sympathetic noise, wrapping his arm around his bandmate. "You coulda called one of us."

"You were having fun. I'm fine. A little shook up, but fine." Lewis allowed himself another moment or two before he stood up and cleared his throat. "Both of you need to sleep, though. Get in bed."

"Look at 'em, dude." Alex fell heavily onto the bed next to Logan, nudging the singer with his elbow, pajama pants in hand. "He thinks he can boss us around. What the shit."

Logan had to suppress a laugh at that, ignoring Lewis' glare. "He's like a pissed off puppy or somethin'."

Alex broke into a fit of full-on giggles, not even calming down when his boyfriend shoved his shoulder, knocking him into Logan. It wasn't even enough to hurt, but that was still out of character for Lewis.

"Either get ready for bed, or I'll go sleep in Jon and Spencer's room for the rest of the tour. Don't fuckin' try me."

[ yeah uh this kinda sucked but words are hard please excuse my ineptitude

anyway- preview.

it's for 'if this tour doesn't kill you...' aka an au where after the breakup, lewis refuses to leave the band, so he and logan have to at least pretend to tolerate each other.

Really, in a long line of bad decisions, staying in a band with your ex had to take the cake.

Lewis couldn't give this up, and neither could Logan. This was a dream they'd both had, and now they refused to give it up, even if it meant dealing with each other.

It was a shock for everyone on the crew, even if they didn't know what had happened between the singer and the guitarist. Close best friends who were practically inseparable, now seemed unable to be within five feet of each other. Lewis clung to Jon on the rare occasion he seemed to need someone, and Logan spent most of his free time with Spencer, alone, or off partying.

Their onstage chemistry was off as well. During the first album cycle, they were energetic teens, feeding off of each other's energy and invading each other's space. Then, during the second, distance was kept, but the smiles sent in stolen glances were genuine.

other various stuff i have ideas for:

an au where chase decides that, after seeing how happy having a kid makes ronnie, she wants to try and have a baby (...again). ft chase with anxiety and awkwardness

more stuff with bailey and babysitting

an au where lewis and logan meet when they're both around fifteen (so like... in the height of lewis' 'i'm a horrible junkie' phase)
