you had been dating tom for over 6 years now, meeting him and bill in 2nd grade, and being friends ever since. he confessed in 1999, but you didnt start dating him until a year later, him being your first boyfriend, and more. your first kiss, your first fuck..you knew you'd be with him forever, and you've kept that in your mind ever since. even through all the fame, the tours, the interviews and tv shows, all the hate and bullying.. you were there. he made sure of it.

the schrei tour of 2006 had just kicked off, and you had come with them, per usual. they had stopped in aurich, germany, for a small break before finishing the rest of the shows. you had a shared hotel room with tom, which was nice, because it was cheaper. tom had gone out with the guys, but you stayed behind, you didnt like being out much.

it was like 1am, and you were half asleep, curled up in bed as the tv played some random Adult swin cartoon in the background. you hear the door unlock, and someone walk in, you didnt move, the smell of cologne already told you it was tom.

"schatz? im back.." he mutters, kicking off his shoes, and climbing into bed next to you, sighing as he rests his chin on your shoulder "i know you're not asleep, leibe..." he mumbles, his voice tired and soft, his hand drifting down to rub your hip through your shirt
