You watched as yellow confetti floated down from the ceiling, momentarily forgetting that you were supposed to be photographing the end of the show. Thousands of fans dressed in yellow watched it fall down around them with huge smiles on their faces. It was a stark contrast to the sea of red and black that you had grown so accustomed to seeing on the last tour.
"We're Twenty One Pilots and so are you!"
Tyler and Josh took a bow before walking off stage. You took a few more shots of the crowd and the stage before heading backstage yourself. The first show of the Bandito Tour had undoubtedly been a success.
You found the boys together in Tyler's dressing room. Each of them turned as they heard you enter the room, smiling widely as they did so.
"That was amazing!" you said, rushing into Josh's arms. "Phenomenal. I just... I have no words."
"We really did it," Tyler smiled.
"You did," you said, now pulling him into a hug.
"I can't wait to see those pictures," Josh beamed.
"I think I have some really good ones."
Josh pulled you into his side and pressed a kiss to your temple.
"We can talk more later," Tyler said. "Let's focus on getting our stuff together."
"I'll see you on the bus," you smiled.
You walked out of the venue and into the cool night air. It had been a long time since you had last photographed a show--mostly because of the boys deciding to go on hiatus--and now that you were back on the road, it felt like a piece of you had fallen back into place.
You grabbed your equipment and took a seat on the couch, already knowing that the boys would want to sit with you while you sorted through the night's photos. Sure enough, as soon as they got on the bus they rushed over to sit on either side of you.
"That ended up looking so nice," Tyler said, pointing to a picture you had taken while they were on B stage.
"Yeah, it did," Josh chimed in. "I really like that visual."
"You guys really outdid yourselves on this tour," you smiled as you clicked through photos.
"Yeah, but not everyone would be able to see it if it weren't for you," Josh said, putting an arm around your shoulder and pulling you slightly into him.
"Isn't it weird to think of where we started?" Tyler asked, looking to Josh.
"Crazy," he said, shaking his head.
"I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be here after all the work you put in," you added. "Just thinking about the first concert I photographed for you guys on the Blurryface tour versus now is mindblowing to me."
Tyler patted your shoulder, "I'm so glad that you get to be on this adventure with us, Y/N/N."
You smiled, "Me too."
Your laptop screen shined light onto your face as you sat on the dark tour bus. Both of the boys had passed out next to you, even after a brave effort by both of them to keep you company as long as possible. You didn't mind the quiet, though, and you were glad that they were getting some rest for tomorrow's show.
Josh shifted a little bit on the couch. He had insisted that he rest his head on your leg, even though you said you might accidentally bump his head while you were editing. After some back and forth, you gave in and let him snuggle up next to you. It hadn't taken him long after that to fall asleep.
All of this still felt surreal to you. A few years ago, you never could have imagined that you would be given the opportunity to travel the world with your best friends doing what you loved almost every night. Thinking about the life you got to live never failed to make you smile.
Tyler's head bobbed forward dangerously, so you lightly tapped him on the shoulder to wake him up.
"Huh?" he said suddenly, shaking his head.
"You should go to bed, Ty."
He nodded and rubbed at one of his eyes, "You're right. Goodnight, Y/N/N."
"Goodnight. Get some rest."
Once you heard Tyler safely get into his bunk--a task he sometimes struggled with when especially tired--you tapped Josh.
"What?" he mumbled.
"You should go to bed."
"Are you done editing photos?"
"Not quite yet."
"Then I'm not going anywhere."
You laughed a little and gave his shoulder a light pat. Nothing had changed since the last tour, it seemed.
Your eyelids were near impossible to keep open by the time that you finished editing the last photo. You shut your laptop and leaned back into the couch for a moment, taking a moment to relax before you got up and got ready for bed.
"Are you done?" Josh asked.
"Yeah, I am."
"Alright, let's get some sleep then."
Josh slowly got up and helped you up from the couch. You allowed him to lead you back towards your bunk.
"Goodnight," he said, giving you a quick kiss.
"Goodnight."
You hopped into your bunk, unfortunately no longer covered in the same pictures as the last tour, and got comfortable.
"Hey, Y/N/N," Josh whispered.
"What?"
"Nice job today."
You laughed a little as Josh's hand appeared inside the curtain of your bunk. With the last bit of energy that you had in you, you reached over and gave him a quick fist bump.
"You too."
Your life had changed drastically in the last few years, but you wouldn't change it for the world. For what felt like the first time, you had taken control and done something for yourself. As a result, you were happier than you had ever been and you knew no matter what happened, Josh and Tyler would always be there for you to fall back on.
All because of one trip to the grocery store.
