Warnings: Mention of one particularly annoying dude

Word Count: 1618

"Are you ready for another amazing day on tour?" was the first thing that you heard when you woke up that morning. Tyler was the one who had said it, as he had a habit of doing when you slept in late.

"No," you mumbled as you clambered out of your bunk.

"Hey, we are not going to tolerate that attitude on this tour bus," Tyler said, pointing a finger at you.

"What are you going to do, throw me off?" you laughed.

"He'll do it," Josh said as he took a bite of his cereal.

"I will!"

You shook your head as you grabbed your change of clothes and slid into the bathroom. Getting dressed in the bathroom was a pain, but it was better than changing in front of everyone on the tour bus, even if you did have a bad habit of bumping your elbows into the walls.

"Shoot," you muttered as you did it yet again while pulling on your sweatshirt.

"You ok in there?" Josh called.

"Funny bone!" you answered.

You walked out of the bathroom and tossed your pajamas into your bunk. Tyler and Josh were at the table, eating their breakfasts and looking over their phones.

"Hey, Y/N/N," Tyler said. "Come check this out."

"What?"

Tyler held out his phone for you to look at. It was a tweet that he had made earlier that morning with some of the photos you had taken at last night's show. The tweet had hit nearly five thousand likes already, which seemed crazy to you.

"No way," you smiled, grabbing his phone. "Five thousand likes in two hours?"

"People really like your photos."

You shook your head, "I'll never get used to that."

Just seeing your twitter handle on a tweet with that many likes was amazing to you. It was nice to know that people were loving what you were doing just as much as you were.

"What are you doing?" Josh asked as you opened up the breakfast cupboard.

"Making myself breakfast?"

"No, wait!" he said, temporarily abandoning his cereal.

"What?"

He walked off towards the back of the bus. You looked at Tyler, who only smiled at you. Josh returned a few moments later, carrying a white box in his hands.

"What is that?" you asked.

He set the box down on the table near Tyler. You walked over just as he opened the top of it. Inside was a cake that said "Happy One Month of Tour!"

"Happy first month of touring!" Tyler and Josh said together.

You couldn't help the smile on your face, "For me?"

"Who else?" Tyler laughed.

"We wanted to celebrate you surviving your first month on tour with us. It's not an easy task," Josh added.

"Thank you," you smiled, giving each of them a hug.

"Aren't you going to eat your cake?" Tyler asked as you walked back over to the breakfast cupboard.

"I can't have cake for breakfast!" you laughed.

"Sure you can!" he said. "We're on tour."

You shook your head, "I'm going to have some cereal, and then we can all share my celebratory cake."

"Fine," Tyler sighed. "But only because that means I get to have cake too."

You were hard at working editing photos at the table. The boys were on the other side of the room, quietly doing their own thing. Tyler appeared to be working on lyrics and Josh was on his phone, although he looked pretty close to falling asleep.

Since it had grown so quiet, you decided to listen to some music while you worked. You grabbed your bag from beside your feet and began to fish around at the bottom of your bag for your headphones. Instead, your hand came into contact with a piece of paper. Curious as to what it was, you pulled it out and unfolded it.

Y/N,

You recognized Matthew's handwriting immediately. The letter was from a year or two ago; it had been one that you used to read when you were worried that Matthew didn't love you. Knowing what you knew now, the concept made you laugh.

You know that I'm not very good with words, but I wanted to write you this letter to celebrate our third anniversary. In the time that we've been together, you have made me the happiest guy in the world. I look forward to every minute that I get to spend with you, even if it's something as simple as doing homework together in the library.

Before I met you, I felt like there was nobody in this world that really understood me. Then you came along and took the time to learn all of my weird habits and quirks. What's even crazier to me is that you love me because of them, not in spite of them. If you ask me, that's pretty special.

I don't think words will ever be able to describe the way that you make me feel, although I'll try. Your smile is infectious. Your laugh is contagious. I could stare at you for hours and never get bored. I love that we can talk for hours about the simplest and weirdest things. That's something that's rare nowadays. You never fail to make me laugh, and that's something that I will be endlessly thankful for.

You are the stars in my sky, the sun to my moon, and the reason I wake up in the morning. I'm so happy that I get to call you mine, and it's a concept that I'm not sure that I will ever get used to. I hope that I'm never dumb enough to let you go.

Ok, that's enough of me being cheesy. But really, I love you so much, Y/N. I can't wait for what the future has in store for us.

Much love,

Matthew

You crumpled up the paper and tossed it across the room into the trash can, hoping that you never had to look at it again. Knowing him, he had probably pulled that off of some website and passed it off as his own. He had never been the romantic type.

"What was that?" Josh asked.

"A letter from my ex."

"From recently?"

"No. I used to keep it in my bag to read when I was feeling down. I had forgotten about it until just now."

He nodded and went back to looking at his phone. You remembered what you had originally set out to do and went back to digging around in your bag for headphones.

"Wait, that was a letter from your ex?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah. It was weird to read again. I realized how much better I'm doing now," you explained.

"Good," he smiled. "I'm glad. Hey, Josh, what do you think of this?"

You continued to edit photos as you half listened to the poetry that Tyler was performing for Josh. Your hand was beginning to cramp up from editing photos for so long, so you decided to take a break and make yourself some lunch.

"You guys want anything?" you asked as you grabbed ingredients.

"I'm good," Josh said.

"Me too."

"Ok."

You made yourself a sandwich and then walked over to the couch. Josh moved his legs so that you had room to sit, but was quick to put them right back over you when you made yourself comfortable. He smiled innocently at you when you gave him a look.

"Are you guys excited for the show tonight?"

"Yeah, but I'm even more excited for our day off tomorrow," Josh answered.

"I thought we had Tuesday off?"

"Nope, tomorrow," Tyler answered.

You nodded and took a bite of your sandwich.

"Hey, look at this," Josh said, passing his phone to you.

You grabbed his phone and watched the video. It was a fan edit made using your photos from the concert.

"That's really cool," you smiled. "I'm so glad that your fans are liking the pictures that I'm taking."

Josh nodded and took his phone back from you.

"Ok, guys, listen to this," Tyler said.

You and Josh both listened as Tyler recited what he had written. Moments like this had grown to be your favorite, when it was just you and the boys relaxing on the bus or after a show. It was almost like being young again, hanging out with your best friends and not having a care in the world.

"That's really good, Ty," you said.

"You think so?"

"I agree," Josh chimed in. "We should try to get that on the next album."

Tyler nodded and made a little mark in his notebook before flipping through the pages. You finished your sandwich and got back up to wash your plate.

"How are the photos coming?" Josh asked.

"I'm almost done with last night's," you said, taking a seat at your computer once again.

Josh got up and walked over to where you were sitting, leaning over your shoulder so that he could see.

"These are looking really good, although I guess that shouldn't really come as a surprise," he smiled.

"Thanks," you said, trying your hardest not to blush.

"Y/N/N, do you mind sending me some of your favorites when you're done? I'm going to try and get another tweet out tonight."

"Yeah, no problem, Ty."

Josh went back to laying on the couch and you plugged in your headphones so that you could start focusing. You were getting closer to the next venue, meaning that you would have to pack up and help out the rest of the crew. It was a routine that you had quickly gotten used to.

One month of tour down, two to go.
