Now….

Chicago

SHANE FUCKING hated Chicago. Hated everything about it. Too many bad memories, too much shit with his father, too many places that he could look around the corner and swear he saw Jesse. Jesse. Shit. He hadn’t really thought about Jesse in months, not since the enigmatic Berlin had come into his life. Things had been almost great in Rome… and then in Barcelona. Barcelona. He’d had three very long weeks to think about that night in Barcelona. Shane had wanted to kiss Kayden so damn bad that night. Almost happened.

Shane was nervous, though. It had been three weeks, after all, since the almost kiss, since they kinda sorta made a connection. He’d felt it at least. But he was afraid he was going to get the same cold, distant Kayden he had for most of the European tour. He really hoped not.

He was waiting for Kayden in the limo outside the Peninsula Hotel. A place he’d have been kicked out of without a second’s thought if he ever tried to walk in as a kid. They had an interview in an hour with Rolling Stone and were combining it with a radio appearance at the big alternative station in Chicago. Shane was far beyond caring about shit like promo interviews. He’d done so many that he could easily do them with his mind churning a mile a minute, thinking about something else. Which was good. Because he’d have to.

The car door opened, letting in a wave of Chicago summer air that made Shane want to vomit. It wasn’t really the air, though. It was Kayden. His hair was all soft and spiky, his skin fresh. Shane could never get over how young he looked without all that hard stage makeup. Especially when he was smiling… smiling. Holy shit.

“Hey, Shane.”

Shane wondered if he was hallucinating. He’d gotten a polite greeting and that smile, like Kayden was actually happy to see him.

“Hi, Kayden. Good vacation?”

“Yeah. Stopped off to see my parents. Took care of my usual stuff, you know.”

“Yeah, uh, me too.”

Kayden settled in, and the driver eased the car into traffic. Barcelona was hanging, heavy and somewhat awkward, between them. Shane didn’t know if he should bring it up or ignore it and focus on the good fortune of Kayden seeming to finally want to be friends.

“So, have you been to Chicago before?”

Kayden let out a muffled snorting laugh and covered his mouth with his hand. “Yeah, I have.”

“Why’s that funny?”

“Oh, uh, I guess I’ve been practically everywhere by now. Seemed like an odd question.”

“Oh.”

Kayden gave Shane another one of those sunshiny and disarming smiles that caught him totally off guard. What was up with him? Shane watched as he slumped back against the seat and closed his eyes, pressing gently on his eyelids.

“Jetlag is a killer,” Kayden grumbled.

“Headache?”

“The worst.”

“You want some ice? There’s a bucket right here. We’ll be there in a few minutes. Someone’s bound to have an ibuprofen or two.”

“Ice would be amazing, thanks—hey, why aren’t we
