“yeah, nothing was ever serious. we knew things were going to end once high school ended and college started. and i don’t think i’ve ever been in love. my mom jokes that i might be one of those people who can’t feel anything, especially love.” he said with a small laugh. he licked his lips and looked at kenny. “i kinda want to agree with her, but what if i actually been in love but never knew it? how is love supposed to feel?” he asked with a small frown. he looked back up as he felt the squeeze on his hand. “yeah! i think it’ll fit perfectly.”

“hey, don’t say that. i mean i can’t be certain i’ve fallen in love either. does anyone really know what love is?” he shrugged, “i don’t know, it always sucks because i always feel like i care more about them then they do about me.” that was something that always hurt him the most, kenny bit his lip nervously. he rubbed his hands on his thighs as they started sweating in the slightest. his fingers found the frets and played the chord progression as he sang the prechorus they’s just written together. “i think that works” he said with a nod. “d’you wanna write that for me”

anakin looked at kenny as he talked about his last relationship. “i’m sorry to hear that.” he said softly and reached over to squeeze his hand. “hey, it’s not lame. some people fall for someone at different time lengths. not just because it didn’t last long does it mean that you were stupid for falling for him.” he said and bit down on his lip. “but whoever that person was, is stupid.” he said with a small smile. “i’ve only been on a few relationships, but they’ve never been anything serious. it was just stupid little things.” he said with a shrug.

kenny shrugged, “it’s whatever i guess? i mean i’m sort of over it, but it still hurts to think about it.” he smiled at their hands touching. and squeezed back, showing that he appreciated it. “thanks, anakin. -- only stupid little things? do you think you’ve ever been in love he asked?” kenny still hadn’t let go of his hand, almost as if he’d forgotten he was holding it. he stayed silent for a moment thinking over what they were just talking about. “that’s it” he said squeezing the other’s hand, “i don’t know how to say goodbye. that would go good next, no?” 

[html-sky-deactivated20160226]

“i don’t know.” anakin said with a smile. “i guess we are.” he said with a grin and bit down on his lip as he went over the small part he had written down. “what mood do we want this song to have? I think that by the lyrics we’ve written so far, it needs to be like kinda heavy…but sad.” anakin said and looked at kenny. “does that make any sense?” he said before scribbling down the small lyrics they already had. “you were mine for a night, i was out of mind, you were mine for a night…i don’t know how to add something with goodbye there.” he said with a hum as he furrow his eyebrows as he thought about it. he repeated the lyrics over and over in his brain. “ugh, i don’t know. wait, that’s it! i don’t know how to say goodbye.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“yeah i was thinking heavy and emotional, myself. like feeling like a mess after a break up.” he nodded. “i soft of just went through this breakup. like we fell so hard and fast and we were planning our futures with each other and i was so wrapped up in this person. i almost forgot who i was” he tried explaining the situation. “when we were in california we even stared at the stars and just made plans to move in together and everything, he had me wrapped around his finger.” kenny sat on the bed, resting the guitar on his thigh so he was comfortable. “it’s pretty lame, because we weren’t together for long, but it just felt so real. and just like that it was over.”

[html-sky-deactivated20160226]

“alright, i’ll try to get used to it, but i won’t have a problem really if it’s coming from you.” anakin said softly before blushing at his words. “oh, yeah. i prefer writing it down on paper. then after i finish it, i transfer it to my laptop. i love writing my ideas down because maybe later on in the writing progress i can use a lyric i had scratched out.” he said with a shrug. “you were mine, for a night…” anakin whispered. he closed his eyes and tried to think of some lyrics. “i was so far out?” he said questionably. “you were mine, for a night. i was so far ou- nope. that doesn’t work.” anakin said with a sigh as he licked his lips. he looked at kenny as he kept playing the little riff. “i was out of my mind…” he sand and smiled as he felt comfortable with them. “i think that sounds quite good, don’t you think?”

[kennystfu-blog]

“why’s that” he asked with a flirty tone. “i guess we’re more alike than i thought we were going to be.” kenny smiled widely. he watched as anakin tried to figure out a line, repeating the chord progression. ken smiled as he listened to him sing, “yeah that sounds good. let’s sing it together, you were mine for  a night, i was out of my mind” the bleached blonde nodded, it went prefect. “would you mind writing that down, yeah? and then maybe write that first line again. we could put something about not wanting to say goodbye?”

[kennystfu-blog]

“well that’s good to know.” anakin said with a smile and rolled his eyes. “wow and you’re very modest as well.” he joked and bit down on his lip. “i guess you can. i’m just not used to it.” he said with a shrug as he turned back to look at kenny as he went to grab his guitar. he licked his lips as he thought back to the little melody the male had been humming. “lyrics are always a butt to come up with.” he said with a small groan and closed his eyes as he listened to the tune. “wait, do you have any paper?” he asked as he looked around. anakin saw a small notepad at the bedside table with a pen, he reached over and grabbed it before leaning against kenny as he watched the male play. “play it again…please.”

"well get used to it because i like complimenting people so its going to be happening often” he said smiling widely at the other male. kenny nodded when anakin grabbed the notepad, “wow not a lot of people still write things down. a lot of people i know use their laptops or phones. but i love writing things down because not only does it help you express what youre trying to say better, but it also makes it easier for you to remember things.” he rambled on a bit while he played the four bar riff over and over. his fingers glided across the strings so effortlessly. he stopped playing briefly. “for some reason all i can think of is you were mine, for a night.” he sang what he had just thought up. he repeated it this with the chord progression he’d been playing accompanying him.

“hey i’m a hopeless romantic.” anakin said with a grin. “lamest person to have ever lamed? wow that’s quite impressive if you think about it long enough.” he said with a laugh as he played with the key chain. “i do! i don’t want to seem like a crazy fan for actually crying and acting like a 12 year old with boy bands. i’m a grown man.” anakin said as he puffed out his chest jokingly. he blushed softly as kenny called him cute. he turned around to hide it from him. he must already think he’s some sort of creep. “woah, are you serious?” anakin asked with wide eyes. writing with him seemed so freaking cool. “yeah! i’ll love to! holy shit.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“i would consider myself to be one too, don’t worry.” he smiled walking over to the bed. he sat on the edge and leaned against anakin “i’m full of impressive qualities, at least i would hope so. even if i am the lamest person.” he pulled off of anakin’s shoulder when the male looked the other way, “what’s the matter, an? i can’t compliment you” he teased nudging him a bit with his arm. kenny stood up and grabbed his guitar out of his gig bag. it was in tune for the most part, but kenny still tuned it to double check and make sure it was perfect. “so what i was humming is kind of what i’ve been thinking about but i can’t think of any lyrics to go wth it” he said as he began playing the tune he had just hummed while putting his clothes away on the instrument.

[html-sky-deactivated20160226]

“i guess that’s what everyone hopes for, right?“ anakin said with a small smile. "someone to confide in with all your deepest darkest secrets and know they won’t love you or see you any different from before.” he said and looked at kenny. “i’m sure you’ll find someone like that. you’re a pretty awesome dude.” he said with a grin and groaned at the mention of his audition tapes. “the ones of me singing were recorded behind my back. my friends set up this entire thing. they took some videos i had recorded on my laptop and sent them in. after I found out about it, i had to do the rest of the things to get here.” anakin said with a sigh. “but i’m kind of glad that they forced me to do this.” he said with a grin. “it would’ve been pretty awkward. you should ask anyone that saw me when i heard it was you mentoring me. my eyes were watery, but i swear it was because I was standing next to some onions.” he said jokingly as he sat on the male’s bed and listened to him hum a random tune he hadn’t heard before. “oh, all the time. i hate it so much. it gets to a point were i just try to forget it and hope that it will come back to me eventually.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“only the hopeless romantics, my friend” he said with a smirk. “i’m not that awesome, i am actually probably the lamest person to ever lame, but i’m glad you think otherwise.” kenny thought it was cute the way anakin groaned and seemed to be getting embarrassed. “don’t blame the onions, i bet you were just so overwhelmed. and that’s okay. honestly, it’s pretty cute.” kenny picked up the last shirt and folded it and put it in the drawer closing it shut after. “i’m having that problem right now. do you wanna have a writing session really quick? because i think it might help.”

“the places we went were almost as stunning as him”

“I mean, isn’t that how life works? It doesn’t matter what profession you start in, you’re always replaceable.” Anakin said with a shrug. “I feel that’s where my fears come from. Everything that I’ve worked on so far can be taken away from me easily.” He said but looked at Kenny. “But I think I got an awesome mentor. I’m a fan of your work. When I saw we got paired up together I had a little fangirl moment.” Anakin said with a laugh. “Hm…alright. Then I guess we’ll see what we learn from each other. It’ll be pretty interesting to say the least. And I know we we’re going to win.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“unfortunately its like that, yeah.” kenny shrugged, “but sometimes if youre lucky you find one person in your life that would trade you for anything. i hope to have that one day. i want to feel that way about someone else too.” he looked over at anakin, “no way, i won’t let anyone take this away from you. you deserve all of this. and they showed me your audition tapes, you’ve got talent and you’re going to make it.” kenny was flattered with what he heard next smiling widely, “are you? that’s really awesome. i’m glad you don’t hate my music, because that would be super awkward.” as kenny put away the rest of his clothes he started humming a new melody he had been thinking of. it had been stuck in his head for the past few days, but he couldn’t develop the thought of it anymore, almost as if it were stuck in his brain and wouldn’t work its way out into a song. “hey,” kenny started interrupting his own hums, “do you ever get these ideas in your head, but can’t articulate them right? and nothing you do helps?”

[eli-coleman-blog]

“Exactly so don’t go messing with me. Just talk to me. I rather face to face than texting, but I can settle for it.” Eli said as he put Kenny’s number under his name. “Besides we’re only friend, yeah?” he smiled.

[kennystfu-blog]

“would i mess with you, eli?” he asked raising his eyebrows, “c’mon that’s not something i would ever do to anyone.” kenny’s mouth opened in shock, “ooooof friendzoned”

[kennystfu-blog]

Anakin listened to his mentor’s words carefully. He wanted to believe the words, and knew that maybe this experience would make him more confident. “Thank you. Really. I couldn’t ask for a better mentor.” Anakin said and rolled is eyes as Kenny tried to change the situation. “No, I brought enough clothes to last me a while. You brought a whole three story closet worth or clothes.” He said with a smirk. “What can you possibly learn from me? I have lots of things to learn from you, but I still don’t think you can learn anything form me.”

“you’re welcome, dude” kenny always loved helping people out and he’d practically put himself out to make someone feel better. “you could’ve gotten a better mentor, i’m replaceable. unfortunately, we all are.” he said drifting off. ken started folding some of the clothes and setting them in the drawers of his new dresser. “i don’t know, but i have this feeling in my gut. we’re going to learn from each other, and that’s why we’re going to win. because we’re both doing this together and we’re both improving on things.”

[html-sky-deactivated20160226]

Anakin looked at his mentor with a pout. “But I’m cute, I should get away with everything.” He said with a laugh afterwards. He sighed and looked down at the floor. “I know I shouldn’t let that make feel that way, but it’s kind of scary. I feel like everyone in the world will be watching my every move and judge me.” He said softly, he wasn’t usually very vocal about his fears, but for some reason he felt comfortable enough to share them with Kenny. “Okay.” He said softly smiling back at him. “You have way too many clothes.” Anakin said with a laugh as he put some of the shirts back on the bed. “I don’t know. I would say I’m the lucky one…but that’s questionable.” He said jokingly.

[kennystfu-blog]

“they don’t matter, anakin. they can’t judge you if you don’t let them.” he smiled trying to give the best advice, “you just need to believe in yourself.” he placed his hand on the taller’s chest, “in here.” normally kenny wasn’t this cheesy or sentimental, but something told him that anakin needed to hear it. when he went to pick up his clothes he shrugged, “you could say that, or maybe other people just don’t have enough clothes” he said turning the situation around. “i guess we’re both pretty lucky to have each other. something tells me i could learn a thing or two from you.”

[eli-coleman-blog]

“Eh, Mr. Smooth?” Eli snickered as he took Kenny’s phone and put in his number. “Don’t do that stupid two day rule.” he murmured. “I hate that.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“smooth as porcelain” he wiggled his eyebrows as he handed over his phone. “i don’t fuck with that two day rule. bullshit. if you want to talk to someone you talk to them” when he got his phone back he opened up the messages app and typed out a simple hi with a smiley emoji and sent it to eli. “don’t worry i wouldn’t do that to you anyways.”

[html-sky-deactivated20160226]

“Well I am technically Darth Vader, so I can get away with anything.” Anakin said teasingly as he chuckled. “Well the cameras being on us at all times will probably make me a bit nervous…” He said as he bit down on his lip. He didn’t think being watched at all times was going to make him grow more in his music. He didn’t want people to judge him. He looked around the room to see the mess Kenny had done and laughed. “I can help you if you want. That way you won’t end up living in this mess for so long.” He said with a grin as he picked up a couple of shirts that had landed close to him.

[kennystfu-blog]

“Not anything.” he said a bit sternly even though he was joking. Kenny shook his head and stood up walking over to him, “No. no. Don’t let that make you nervous. Besides they’re not on you constantly” He ran his hand down Anakin’s arm trying to be comforting, “Don’t worry I’m gonna be here to help you with everything, okay?” he smiled warmly at him. “Would you!?” his face lit up, “You’re the best An” Kenny said as he started gathering the things that were flung in the far corners of the room, “How did I get so lucky?”

[rxbbieee-blog]

“You can always count on me. You know that.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“That Bruno Mars song was literally made for you!” Kenny laughed, “Do you know where the bedrooms are? Because I’d like to put my bags down” he said looking at his hands that were full of luggage.

[vinnie-williams]

“Duh, im always right” Vinnie says laughing not really meaning it. Vinnie hated that they didn’t make it together, but he has art now even if he has no muse and dignity left. “Maybe, maybe not. Who knows.”

[kennystfu-blog]

“yeah okay vinnie, keep thinking that. the older twin is always right.” he teased back and laughed shaking his head. “you will v. you’re so talented you can’t think that way.”
