Jin closed her eyes and snuggled closer to her boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around his waist, clinging lightly, just enjoying the moment. They were alone now from what she could tell. Everybody else seemed to be crowded downstairs. The only sounds that filled the area were the quiet hushed sound of their breathing.

"Whatever you want to do, love," the quiet girl finally replied, giving a small smile.

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.
I’ve been losing so much time.
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know, I can’t keep my eyes off you.”

Dominique smiled and wrapped his own arms around Jin lightly. He didn't pull her any closer than she was, merely rested his arms around her. One of his hands idly stroked her hair. "I would not mind merely sitting like this for a while." He smiled down at her and pressed a kiss against the top of her head, closing his eyes. Yes, he could sit like this for a while. Holding her was the best he could ask for right now, and it was far better than kissing her. He savored the moment, locking it away in the back of his mind with the other new memories of Jin. Perhaps in a little while they could do something else. Right now he was perfectly content as it was.


These words will be here
To ease every fear and dry up every tear
And make it very clear, I kiss you and I know
It is love from the first
Time I pressed my lips against yours
Thinking, 'Oh, is it love?'

Jin wiggled her way out of Dominique's grasp. "Hang on a second," she mumbled, reaching into a messenger back and pulling out a small set of speakers. She plugged the speakers into her iPod. The click noise echoed through the speakers as she tried to choose a song. Finally, the clicking stopped. If The Moon Fell Down Tonight began playing softly through the speakers. The sound of the acoustic guitar filled the area.

The Korean sat back down, snuggled against Dominique once more and closed her eyes. "That's better."

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.
I’ve been losing so much time.
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people
And I don’t know, I can’t keep my eyes off you.”

Kyoshi saluted the guy who now stood by the sink. He gave him a once-over quickly, and mentally nodded his approval. The kid was rather good looking, with brilliant blue eyes. Kyoshi approved, really he did. A chunk of his own black hair decided to distract him by falling before his eyes. He casually brushed it aside. "My name's Kyoshi, but everyone calls me Kyo. I'm Ian's friend. You?" He reached over and slipped the guitar strap over his head and off, setting the guitar next to his old duffel bag. His hand went to his head to scratch it, and he felt that the parts of hair he'd tousled with mousse earlier that day were starting to lose their 'umph.' Kyoshi's black, straight hair was cut in an interesting cross between a half-shave and a mowhawk. Kyoshi always had strange hair. Once, he'd dyed it rainbow. Right now, he stuck with plain natural black. He liked it that way. For now, anyway.

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' about choices
That I've made
Cause I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can do now is change the way
That I use to be

Niko looked the other male once over, sipping his soda yet again. The other male was foreign, Japanese Niko assumed. It was no surprise. After all, this was Ian's road trip. But there was something else about this male. This male was gorgeous. Gorgeous in a rock-star kind of way, and the guitar on his back didn't make the mental image in Niko's mind any less gorgeous. Shaking his head, he decided not to think thoughts like that so soon. He knew nothing about this guy except his name. That was when Niko realized that he hadn't introduced himself either.

"The name is Niko," he said, extending his hand, "Ian's friend since kindergarten. Nice to meet you."

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies.
It’s compromise.
My heart is full, and my door is always open.
You come anytime you want.

Kyoshi nodded and shook Niko's hand. Ian's friend. That made sense. Damn near all of Ian's friends were gorgeous anyway. No reason for this new guy to be any different. Since kindergarten? No wonder Niko had been invited along. Glancing at the stairs, Kyoshi gestured at them with his head. "Beds and such upstairs?" He didn't particularly want to keep his bags downstairs, but he didn't really feel like lugging them upstairs right now. That is, if upstairs was indeed where the beds and living spaces were. He'd take them up later. Kyoshi lifted his arms above his head and leaned back, stretching. Yawning slightly, an effect that for Kyoshi came along with stretching, he looked at Niko again. "Any idea how many people are gonna be on this bus?"

"Upstairs is everybody except Ian's and Sam's sleeping area. Not sure how, but they got the only downstairs bed," replied Niko, gesturing towards the bed in the far back corner. It was still unmade as well. Ian hated making beds. "And I have no idea how many people are coming. I wasn't honestly expecting this many. It's pretty mad here."

The boy placed the cap on the Vault and hit it once more in the far corner of the refrigerator. He closed the fridge and glanced at Kyo's belongings. "You can put them upstairs or wherever, I guess."

Swimming is a confusing sport.
Because sometimes you do it for fun
And other times you do it to not die.
And sometimes, I don’t know which one it is.
I got to go by the outfit,
Pants? Uh-oh.
Bathing suit? Okay.
Naked? We’ll see.

Dominique smiled as Jin put on the music. It was a nice, romantic touch. One he himself might have done, given time. Holding up a finger to signal her to wait for a moment, he pulled away and walked over to the curtains around the bed, drawing them closed around the bed. The only light came from the small overhead light. It was rather dim. Dominique smiled and sat once again next to Jin. He didn't stay still, however. He pulled her close to him by the chin and kissed her gently, holding the kiss longer than he normally would have. Pulling away at last, he smiled."We could do that instead of merely sit." Before waiting for an answer, he kissed her again, a little less gentle than before, still holding it longer than he normally would have.

Kyoshi nodded. Of course Ian and his boyfriend would have their own area. He shrugged at Niko's telling him to put his bags wherever. "Ehh, I'll take them up later. Right now, I like having feeling in my arms. You wouldn't believe how heavy a small amp is." He grinned to show the humor in what he'd said. It was true though. Kyoshi really couldn't believe how heavy the tiny amp he'd packed to bring along was. It was like someone had stuck a cinderblock in his duffel bag. Rolling his shoulder a bit, he pulled himself a chair up at the table, and sat down, his knees slightly apart, resting his elbows on them. "So what kind of person is this Samson I keep hearing about? I never really got the privilege of getting to know him at all. I only know his name, really." He glanced up at Niko to show that he was only really trying to make conversation. Breaking the ice in a conversation was not Kyoshi's strong point.

Jin's eyes widened at Dominique's sudden forwards. But both times, she kissed back. It was by far better than merely sitting as he had put it. Closing her eyes, she wrapped her arms around Dominique's neck and kissed him back, meeting his force with an equal one. It was something she had never imagined herself doing. Of course, she hadn't imagined dating Dominique either. Today was full of surprises. Pulling away, she grinned at the boy, "You're a great kisser." With that, she pressed her lips against his once more.

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.
I’ve been losing so much time.
Cause it’s you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it’s you and me and all of the people

Niko sat at the table in a chair next to Kyo. "I haven't really gotten to know Sam very well myself. But from what Ian tells me and seeing those two together, he's got to be something amazing. I don't think I've seen Ian care so much for one person. It's really sick, in a cute 'I want to be like that' kind of way." He shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in the chair, balancing it on its back two legs.

He thought about Kyo's name for a moment. That name seemed familiar. Then it struck him. Kyo had been Ian's band lover, even though that seemed like the completely wrong term. Of course, it didn't matter. The first band was at least four years ago. He decided not to say anything about the matter.

Dominique smiled lightly at the compliment. He debated some snide remark about being French, and decided against it. Now was not the time for such things. Smiling, he pressed his lips against hers again, but this time he sneaked his tongue in, briefly exploring Jin's mouth with it before breaking the kiss and grinning. "You are an amazing kisser yourself, Miss Jinny." He slid a hand down her face tenderly and pressed his lips against hers again, kissing her harder than before. His other hand lay limp on the bed. He may or may not use it later. Not now.

Jin's eyes were held shut, and she slid one hand down his arm, placing it on top of Dominique's spare hand. Her other arm was still wrapped around his neck, holding their lips together. She kissed him as though she had no intentions of ever stopping, occasionally sliding her tongue into his mouth, feeling the metal of his tongue ring. It was an odd feeling, although she wasn't one to complain. A few moments later, she pulled away from his lips, leaving her arm still around his neck only much looser. "I love you, Dominique."

Jin wanted to press her lips back against his, but she feared doing so. All that kissing could only lead to other things, and she wasn't quite ready for things of that nature. Especially on a bus.

”I can’t keep up.
And I can’t back down.

Kyoshi laughed. "Yeah? In all honesty I can't understand how you don't have someone like that." He grinned over at Niko. Yes, he realized he was hitting on the kid, but he didn't particularly care. Kyoshi was kind of tired himself, and when he got tired he did tend to get flirty. It didn't bother him at all, he was used to it. Kyoshi was rarely slapped though, he had tact. Yawning slightly again, Kyoshi stretched his arms up and locked his fingers behind his head. Lounging was something he hadn't done for a few days. "Forgive me for being forward, but you're pretty good looking." Kyoshi sent a friendly smile at Niko.

Dominique smiled and rested a hand on Jin's cheek, gently rubbing her face with his thumb. "Je t'aime aussi, Madamoiselle Jinny." He moved his other hand from under hers and laced his fingers with it. Sliding the hand on her face back, he slid his fingers through the loose parts of her hair, smiling and leaning forward, pressing his lips to hers again. It wasn't that he was totally obsessed with kissing, it was that her lips were so soft. And he really did enjoy kissing her. After what might have seemed like a lifetime, he broke the kiss. "Do not worry, Miss Jinny. I would never do anything without your consent first. Alright?" He smiled at her, looking her dead in the eyes as he said what he did to show that he was serious with it. Dominique wouldn't dare mistreat her. Not after waiting for this for so long. The last thing he wanted to do was ruin it. He waited for her response patiently.
