Description
This was why Gabe Saporta hated falling in love. The heartbreak.

Having a broken heart was a feeling that he hated, just like everyone else. But Gabe, being the intense being he was, felt even worse.

He hated crying. Honestly, you'd barely ever, ever, ever see him cry, because most of the time, he was pretty happy. Or at least that's what he told himself.

He was a tough man to everyone else. But when he was alone, well that was a different story.

What he hated more than the heartbreak was how much he had managed to love William.

He loved everything about the boy; from his long, girly hair, his bony hips, his never ending legs, his slightly-bent-to-the-right teeth, his butt chin, to his lanky arms. And of course, that voice, that could put angels' to shame. When he said he loved everything about him, it literally meant everything.

But now, now William was completely out of reach for him. Or so he thought, three days ago when he had seen William very lovey-dovey with some stupid tech guy, and later, taking him to his bunk.

How could William be so… heartless?

He had dared to fall in love, and had been all walked over.

--

This was why William Beckett hated being in love, the heartbreak.

He had been head over heels for Gabe for so long he couldn't even remember anymore.

But all of his very subtle hints had been totally ignored by Gabe.

And the worst part was that Gabe would hug him, hold him; hell, he would even kiss him, and it would give William a warm feeling inside; but as soon as he turned his head around, Gabe would go make-out with Alex [Gaskarth] or whoever he had near him, too.

Which obviously told him that Gabe was nothing but a good time. And he decided to try and meet some people, get over his little silly crush on Gabe.

Then he met Kevin, All Time Low's tech guy. He was smoking hot, nice, caring. He would have to do.

--

Gabe hadn't left his bus in four days now, not even when Suarez told him that he'd take him out to a strip club for the night, where he'd be able to drink until he fucking puked his lungs out.

No, no. He was depressed. He had Googled it, so he knew that was it.

He didn't understand why, all of a sudden, William had turned his back on him; he would never do that to William, ever. He randomly stopped answering his texts, and didn't let him put his arm over his shoulders when both bands were watching a movie together. He was depressed, AND confused.

--

William was laying on his bunk after a, ahem, 'busy' night with Kevin, when all of a sudden he found himself accompanied.

Victoria randomly appeared out of nowhere. "Hey, William. Can I speak to you for a second?"

"Y-yeah, sure. How'd you get in here?" He asked, confused, as he scratched his head and pushed himself up on a sitting position.

"Oh, Sisky let me in," She shrugged it off, and he mentally cursed Adam. "But, the thing is. We need to talk. About Gabriel,"

"… Uh, what's there to talk about him?" He rolled his eyes, obviously annoyed.

"Well, okay, I don't know what the hell happened between you guys, but you're his best friend, or were, I don't know. The thing is, he's really upset and won't talk to any of us. So I thought…"

"Well you thought wrong, Vicky," She frowned at the nickname. "There's nothing I can do for him, and I wouldn't even try if I could,"

"But William, he refused to go to a strip club! This is bad, and very, very serious!" She whined.

"I don't care,"

"I'll make an anon post on Fueled By Gossip and tell them that you've being seeing Mr. Kevin out there," She threatened.

"…You wouldn't!" He yelled alarmed.

"I SO WOULD! Or even better, I won't even make it anon!" She yelled back.

"Ugh," He sighed. "Fine, fine. Jesus fucking Christ, let's go see the asshole."

--

Victoria softly knocked the door to their bunks and Gabe growled.

"Dejenme en paz! I told you guys I don't wanna see anyone. I WANT YOU ALL OUT!" He yelled.

Victoria shook his head. "He's so stubborn. Do you know what the Spanish bit was?"

William nodded. "Sadly. It means leave me alone,"

"Well, we're coming in anyway!" She grinned and pulled William in by his skinny wrist.

"Puta! I told you to stay out, God fucking damnit!" Gabe yelled from his bunk, and then he saw William standing there awkwardly. "What the fuck is he doing here?"

Victoria opened her mouth to speak, but William cut her off. "Hey, Gabe, it's nice to see you too," He rolled his eyes. "Vic, can I please leave?"

"No! You are going to talk this out, and I expect you to be fine by tomorrow, Good bye!" She left the bus and locked them in.

Both of them sighed with annoyed looks.

"So, you got a new boyfriend," Gabe spat.

"Mhm, we could say so. He's great,"

"So I've heard," Gabe mumbled and walked out of his bunk, only then noticing that he had been sleeping naked. "Uh,"

And William heart started racing faster, and his cheeks colored into a bright shade of red.

Gabe grabbed a sheet from his bunk to cover himself up.

"W-why do you care about me and Kevin?" William spoke, his words cutting through the tension like sharp knives.

"Hell, why wouldn't I care William? You're- were, I don't even fucking know anymore, my best friend, shit, we could share everything. What happened?"

"You betrayed me,"

"What? What did I do? All I know is, that out of the blue, you wouldn't text me back, wouldn't hang out with me, then, out of no-fucking-where," His voice getting higher and higher every time, "This bitch, Kevin, had his fucking tongue down your throat, and I just-" His hands clenched into fists and his bed sheet fell around his ankles, and in a fit of manly manliness, he hit the wall beside him.

"You what, Gabe? You what?!" William yelled, tears starting to run down his cheeks.

"I just wanted to fucking kill him, alright? It made me sick, seeing his hands all over you,"

"…Are you jealous Gabe?"

"Me, jealous? Ha!" He scoffed.

"You are! Gabe, there's no reason for you to threaten to kill Kev, or yell at me, or hit the bus!"

"I thought- didn't we- weren't we like, a thing?"

"A thing?" He laughed mockingly. "No, Gabe. No. A thing is not good enough for me. Fuck, I've been head-over-heels over you for so fucking long, and it's like you didn't even notice, how did you think it'd make me feel to see you kissing Gaskarth, or Barakat, the whole fucking band?!"

"I was drunk, it's not the same!" He defended himself.

"Gabe, of all I said, all you heard was the bit about kissing other people?!"

"… What else did you even say? I thought you were just bitching about me being promiscuous or something,"

"Oh fuck you, Gabe! Fuck this, fuck you, and fuck your face!" He yelled, and repeatedly hit Gabe's chest with both hands.

And strangely, Gabe didn't even try to stop him.

His punches slowly started to become lazier and exhausted, like himself.

"You done with that?" Gabe asked and circled William's wrists with his own hands.

William nodded slightly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Fuck Gabe, fuck! How could you not realize that I am in love with you!?" William screamed as Gabe wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly, hearing him sob slightly.

"You're what, Bilvy?" Gabe asked, quite skeptical as to what he had just heard.

"I said that," William stopped for a second, taking a deep breath, trying not to sob too much. "I-in love," He tried, and failed. "With you,"He finally finished and bit his lip, staring at Gabe expectantly.

"Hell Bilvy, I've been meaning to tell you the same for a while now. I thought it was just me,"

And William cried again. Not because he was sad, angry or frustrated. No, he was happy. He cried because he couldn't believe it. He was happy and unbelieving.

"Gabe. Show me that you're being real with me right now,"

"I'd be pleased to," Gabe smirked and reached to press their lips together.

And they were kissing. They were really kissing, and it wasn't meaningless, drunk making out. They were kissing and it felt awesome, it felt like magic and fireworks and butterflies and fire and fluff and all of the good things in the world mixed together in the form of a kiss.

It felt so different from kissing Kevin, kissing him was just hot and fire and passion and lust, but no love. He could feel love pouring out of Gabe's lips.

They reluctantly broke apart, and William spoke. "Gabe,"

"Yeah?"

"You're still naked," He smiled.

"I know, cariño, I know," He chuckled.

--

That night, Gabe did go out and played a show, and when they performed the last song, Snakes On A Plane, and William came onstage, there was that spark between them, that perfect synchrony that made them Gabe and William.

And they hoped they would be Gabe and William forever.
