Love And Other Drugs

They were thousands of feet in the air, flying over an ocean and going to a country that some of them had never been to. Luxe was trying to keep occupied-laughing at a joke that Lulu just said, but she couldn't shake her fear. Andy and the rest of Black Veil were on the same flight-most of the plane was filled with their tour group-but they were sitting ten rows up, while the girls were near the very back of the plane.

Char was sitting in the same row as Luxe, along with Mads who was snoozing with her headphones on. Pixie and Lulu were in the row in front of them, but the two feisty girls were sitting on their knees and looking at their bandmates from over the seats.

It had been almost a week since Luxe and Andy had been with his parents and the two of them had been near inseparable. The bands didn't know, but Luxe had been spending most nights at Andy's after practice and whenever the girls invited her out, Luxe faked sick or said she had something else going on.

Instead she was with Andy, both of them curled up on opposite ends of his couch, under the same blanket, and usually watching a movie while eating take out. He had done the same thing and for a while they had lulled themselves in to a comfortable thing, but they knew it wouldn't last forever. They had been getting ready for their UK and European Tour and now here they were-flying to London England.


"So where were you last night?" Char asked, smirking at the blonde haired girl sitting beside her. Luxe was currently staring towards the front of the plane and with a quick look Char could see why. Andy was sitting up and his head and shoulders were just visible over the top of his seat.

"At home." Luxe said, bringing her attention back to the group and she noticed that they were all staring at her. Did she have something on her face?

"Oh come on Luxe...don't lie!" Pixie shrieked and all of the girls laughed at her. They had all been out the night before at Crow, celebrating the start of the second leg of their tour.

"I'm not lying! After practice I went home, checked my bags in online and watched a movie." Luxe said, trying to keep her tone even keeled. She had been checking in her bags-as that was what Andy was also doing-and then she ordered take out from her favorite Chinese place and watched two and a half movies before passing out.

"Then why did no one answer when I called your house phone?" Pixie smirked at her, her light eyes filled with mischief as she looked at her bandmate. Play it cool Luxe...play it cool.

"I was probably in the bathroom." Luxe said and Char only rolled her eyes. They all knew where Luxe was-where she always was these days...with Andy. It was cute to see the once complete enemies smirk at one another, but it was getting almost annoying that they wouldn't admit their true feelings for one another.

"I called more than once Luxe." The girls all shared in a laugh and Luxe tried to hide her blush.


It wasn't that big of a deal, but Luxe knew that it was pretty obvious to everyone around them that she and Andy had feelings for one another. They were just friends-really good friends-but that was it. Outside of their small group of friends they were a couple to the world-the perfect rockstar couple who would one day get married to the tunes of KISS and have little rocker babies.

At least that was what Luxe had read in the latest fanfiction she had found about her and Andy online.

The truth was that a small part of her wanted to marry Andy-have little rocker babies with blue eyes and blonde hair and just be happy. But there was more of Luxe that never wanted to be involved with someone like Andy. He was nice, but he was wild and didn't seem like he would ever want to settle down.

They spent hours together every day, but most of those hours were talking about the business-his plans, her plans...their bands records. She had learned a lot, especially about song writing, but Luxe wanted more. She wanted someone who was going to romance her...treat her like she was more than just a lead singer in an all girl band.


"I mean I was home...for a few minutes at least." Luxe said, smirking slyly and all of the girls giggled.

"Come on! Where were you?" Char asked, elbowing Luxe slightly and the blonde only shook her head and tucked her hair behind her ear. She needed to get it cut, but not as badly as Andy needed to cut his. It was clumping and falling out-he needed a change and Luxe was hoping she could get him to let Pixie give him a trim.

"I was...I was at Andy's." She finally said and all of the girls just sat there silently. At some point Mads had woken from her nap and now the red and black haired girl was squinting at the singer.

"But you hate him..." The drummer said and Luxe sighed. Mads still hated Andy for the things he had said and Luxe could understand it, but she had chosen to let it go.

"I-not anymore. He's actually not that bad...you guys have all noticed that we're all getting along." Luxe said and all of the girls just laughed. Luxe was clearly smitten and it was pretty adorable.

"You've slept with him haven't you..." Lulu accused her and Luxe gasped, a little overdramatically but it got them all to laugh.

"I have not! Any time I stay at his place I sleep in the guest room." Luxe said and then clapped her hand over her mouth. She had never meant for them to know that she was actually staying at Andy's condo instead of her own...just that she hung out there occasionally.

"You what?!"

"You've been sleeping at his place?!"

"You dirty, dirty, girl!" They were all teasing her and Luxe only shrunk down in her seat, her pale skin flaming red.

"Guys! Shh...it's not that big a deal." Luxe said and all of the girls continued to giggle at her. Luxe crossed her arms over her chest and noticed that Andy was looking back towards them.


Andy's blue eyes were tired-like he was ready for a nap and Luxe only wished that their seats were beside one another. His black hair would mix with her blonde as she rested her head on his shoulder and they shared a blanket while the stupid inflight movie played.

Instead he was just smirking at her, waving his hand back and forth and Luxe only returned his smile. Char was waving her hand in front of Luxe's face, but there was no breaking the couples gaze. It was pretty obvious to everyone but them-they were crazy about one another.


"So are you and Andy...a thing now?" Char asked and Luxe snapped her head to face the group that were staring at her. What was with the third degree?

"You guys know that he and I are just friends except in front of most people." She said and even to Luxe it sounded kind of sad. Why did they have to go along with this charade? It was so stupid and was only going to end badly.

"You love him!" Pixie shouted at her and Luxe just stared. What?!

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Luxe laughed and the girls all stared at her. Did the singer actually not realize her own feelings for her male counterpart?

"Andy-you love him." Char said and Mads only nodded her head. They were crazy...all of them were absolutely insane.

"I do not! We're just friends..." Luxe said and Mads only stared at her, shaking her red and black head back and forth.

"Yeah, but I can see the way you look at him...it's love my friend." Mads said and Luxe only sat there silently a she stared off towards where Andy was sitting.


No longer looking at her, Andy had his head thrown back in laughter at something that Ashley was saying to him. As she looked at him, Luxe could feel her heart begin to pitter patter in a familiar rhythm that she only felt when he was around. Her palms were growing sweaty, her teeth were biting down on her lip and she could feel something within her stir.

The mere thought of Andy was making Luxe hot and bothered and this was nothing she had ever felt about someone before. Did she really have feelings for Andy?

Luxe thought this over as she sat there and the girls continued to tease her-she really did love Andy. He made her smile-even when she was stressed or pissed off and he made her want to do her best, even when she was exhausted or feeling like shit. They laughed together, about the dumbest things and yet each conversation with him meant something to the female singer.

Their chemistry on stage had grown-now they kissed several times throughout their duet and Luxe couldn't wait to perform it with him again once their European tour started up. She missed him-even sitting a few rows apart and Luxe felt like something was missing.


"Oh. Fuck." She groaned and Char only laughed before patting the top of her head. They all knew it and now it seemed like Luxe had finally realized it herself.

"Yep." Mads said, smiling as she pulled her sleep mask back over her eyes-her work here was done.

"Told you!" Pixie said a she sipped her water and Luxe only groaned louder.

"Aww, but it's so cute!" Lulu gushed and Char only smiled as she looked towards Andy. The male singer was looking towards them and as his eyes lingered over Luxe, Char could see that his feelings for her matched her bandmates.

"What am I going to do?" Luxe groaned through her hands as she had covered her face in embarrassment. Char thought for a moment-this was a tough one. They were a couple to their fans, but how could they take things to the next level without it being too obvious?

"Just be yourself...Andy likes you for you." Char suggested and the singer only groaned. She was being herself, but how was she supposed to make Andy feel any differently about her than he currently did?

"Yeah...he loves you." Pixie said and Luxe only looked around her. These girls were completely crazy-Andy didn't love her...she probably would love him for a long time and then die an old and bitter cat lady.

"I seriously doubt that."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah-really."

"Then why is he looking at you like you're the only girl on this plane?" Luxe turned from Char and looked out over the aisle towards Andy.


He was looking at her, his blue eyes filled with something she had only seen one other time-the time she had been in the hospital after her episode on stage. There was love in those blues eyes of his and Luxe knew then and there that she shared that look in her own grey orbs...but what were they supposed to do about it?

Notes

Finally!

So I had an awesome time last night at the BVB show-got barricade and some attention from almost all of the guys in the bad. It was even more fun because my coauthor and fanfiction partner in crime ItsAllDoneForYou was there with me. Afterwards I got to meet Andy, Jake and CC and even though I froze my ass off waiting, it was well worth it.
