Once the pair got back to the Pierce The Veil bus, Tony had Kate pinned against the bus door. He thanked god that the rest of the band had lunch plans that day, because since he kissed Kate for the first time, his body felt like it was on fire. “Someone’s a little anxious.” Kate laughed as Tony continued his attacking her body, kissing where he could. His hands ran up her sides as he moved on to kissing the spot behind her ear, moving back down her neck. “

“It’s been way too long for me.” Tony mumbled, pulling Kate’s shirt off and above her head. “Three years is too much.”

“It can’t have been that long.” Kate pulled back, shocked. “Girls throw themselves at you wherever you go.”
“I guess I was still stuck on you.” He shrugged as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Well I promise I’ll make it worth the wait.” Kate smirked at him before attaching her lips back to his.

Bunks weren’t the most convenient place to have sex, nor were they built for two people to lay in. But Kate and Tony had managed both in the one day. The pair now lay together, a comfortable silence falling over them. Tony kept Kate has close to him as possible, still questioning if it was real as he played with her long, brunette hair. Kate lay with her head on his bare chest feeling content for the first time in years. Tracing patterns on Tony’s chest, she couldn’t help but smile. “Is this real?” Kate asked, almost dreamily. “Because if not, waking up is going to be a massive let down.”

Tony chuckled, causing Kate’s head to move with his chest. “It better be real or I’ll be fucking pissed off.”

Kate giggled, picking her head up off his chest and looking up at him. She still continued to trace patterns on his chest. “Are you sure Jaxin and Natalie will be okay with me moving in with you?” She asked. “Because with their baby coming it’s going to be crazy already, let alone adding me to the mix.”

“It will be fine.” Tony assured her, brushing the hair from her face. He was treating her as if she were porcelain when he touched her, as if she was going to break or disappear beneath his fingers.

Kate nodded, taking his word for it. Then, knowing the rest of the band and crew would be back soon, she found her clothes and began to put them back on. Tony groaned. “Why are you getting dressed?” He asked, sitting up. “Just stay here with me.”

Smiling, Kate placed a quick kiss on his lips and jumped out of his bunk. “Because the guys will be back soon and we have a show to play tonight.” She told him. “Besides, you’re stuck with me now.”

“But I was content here with you.” Tony whined, letting his head fall back on the pillow. “I was warm.”

Kate chuckled as she placed her shoes back on. “I love you, Turtle but I don’t want to be caught naked by the rest of your band.”

“Say that again.” Hearing those three little words coming from her again meant everything to Tony. As cheesy and corny as it was, it made it all real. Kate made her way back over to the bunk, placing another kiss on Tony’s lips.

“I love you Tony Perry.” She pulled back, a smile playing on her lips. “Always have and always will.”

“And you really expect me to let you leave now?”

Luckily after that, Tony got up and got re-dressed because not even ten minutes later, the band came barging in nosily. “Tony, Kate!” Jaime yelled, embracing the two in a hug. Tony looked down at his fellow band mate, a confused expression on his face.

“What’s gotten into you?” Tony asked, prying himself away from Jaime’s grip. Kate on the other hand was still stuck in Jaime’s arms, not that she minded.

“Nothing.” Jaime replied, pulling away from Kate. “I’m just happy to see you two getting along so well.”

“Uh, Jaime.” Kate laughed. “We have been all tour.”

“Well, I’m just happy okay?”

Kate simply nodded and smiled at the boy. She then turned back to Tony. “I might leave you boys too it?”

Tony nodded, leaning down and placing a kiss on her lips. “I’ll see you later.”

Slightly flushed, Kate nodded and said her goodbyes to the other boys before leaving for her own bus. The rest of the boys looked over at Tony, confusion evident on their faces. He thought they would be happy to see him back with Kate, but they didn’t look it. “Tony. . .” Mike started this time, clearly confused as to what the hell just happened.

“What?!” Tony defended. “Aren’t you happy for me?”

“She’s married!” Vic joined in. “What the hell are you thinking?!”

Then it clicked. No one else knew about Kate getting divorced from Jared. This caused relief to flood through his body and a smile to cross his face. “She got divorced, Vic.”

“She what?” Jaime asked. “It wasn’t because of you, was it?”

Tony shook his head. “Turns out that things weren’t so great behind the scenes and she hadn’t been happy in a long time.”

“And you’re okay with just jumping back into things with her?” Mike asked. All three of the boys were happy for Tony and they knew that Kate was the best person for him, but it didn’t stop them from worrying.

Once again, Tony nodded. “I’ve waited long enough for her.” He explained. “I don’t care what people think or have to say about it. I’m happy and right now that’s all that matters.”

“Well, I’m happy for you man,” Jaime said, placing a hand on Tony’s shoulder. “You guys always were good for each other.”
“Hey, if it means no more mopey Tony I’m stoked.” Mike agreed, congratulating his fellow band member. Vic just smiled at all of them, glad to see the old Tony was back and happy again.
