Live It Up (c)

[Specs]

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't," he laughed, setting her down and moving aside to let the rush of people go through. Backstage was always crowded and messy, which was exactly why he avoided it. Except this time.

"Thanks for reminding me to keep my head up," he teased, pinching her cheek.

[Tag Along]

"Anytime." She replied, rubbing her cheek before poking his ribs.

"Come on." She said, grabbing his wrist and leading him back to her dressing room. She was starving, and she'd heard a rumor there would be sandwiches for her after the concert.

[Specs]

"Ow! H-hey, where we going?" he stammered, amazed that Tag was able to still drag him around like that. He noticed a couple looks from his co-workers and managers. Ryan couldn't help but give them an uneasy smile as if to say I don't know what's going on either.

Lillian pushed open the door to her dressing room and let out a sigh.

"Thank goodness that rumor was true." Sitting on the coffee table was a huge platter of turkey sandwiches along with baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and M&M's. She took a sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Please, help yourself." She said, her mouth full.

[Specs]

"Calm down now, you don't wanna choke," said Ryan, smirking as he looked through the food that was placed in her dressing room. He grabbed a bag of M&M's and started popping them in his mouth. "It's good to know we're feeding you correctly," he chuckled, watching her eat.

[Tag Along]

"Mmmm." Lillian replied as she eat more sandwich while also searching for her comfy clothes. She stepped behind a solid divider and began to change into a t-shirt and sweatpants.

[Specs]

Ryan almost choked on his M&M's once he noticed Lillian changing. He definitely was not expecting that at all. As close as they were, she was a grown woman and he was... well, him.

"You doin' alright there?" he shouted, trying his best to keep his eyes occupied with something else. Ooh, carrots!

[Tag Along]

Lillian quickly emerged from behind the divider, feeling better now that she was out of her sparkly get-up.

"I'm quite all right. Are...you?" She asked, noticing he was looking anywhere but her.

[Specs]

"Yeah, I'm super," he said, eyes focused on the carrots in front of him, his hands full of M&M's. This is crazy, he thought.

"So, uh, what do you usually do after your concerts?" he asked after a couple moments, finally looking over at her and glad to see that she was fully dressed.

[Tag Along]

She sat down next to him on the couch, grabbing another sandwich and a Diet Coke.

"Well, it depends. We usually pack everything up right away and leave for the next stop. But since we have another show here in two day's time, I'm basically free to do whatever I want." This prospect was far too exciting for Lillian.

[Specs]

"Basically?" asked Ryan, raising his eyebrow at her. "Your manager or publicist or whoever it is that tracks you down won't be after your tail tonight?"

[Tag Along]

"Not tonight." She replied, shaking her head. "Basically because of photographers. Unless they decided to lay off so I can have a proper holiday."

((last post! going to bed ))

[Specs]

"Or we can just hide in here as long as we want," he smirked, laying down on the couch.

((alrighty! gnight!))

[Tag Along]

Lillian shot him a look that said Yeah, good idea. Because I escaped this morning for no reason.

She took a cherry tomato from the platter and pelted it at him, smirking over at him.

[Specs]

"Hey!" yelled Ryan as the cherry tomato hit him promptly on the forehead. His eyes searched for the bag of M&M's, which he quickly grabbed in one swoop and threw a handful right at Lillian.
