Rob's POV:

Mike and Chester were snuggling in the corner of the couch engrossed in a rather amusing conversation. God, how he loved the way Chester laughed and Mike's ear-to-ear smile. Truth be told, he was jealous of their relationship. He wished he had someone, or someones, like that. He had to focus on what he was doing, instead of his Mike and Chester. He was supposed to be helping Brad work on new material. Focus was essential.

"So, what do you think?" Brad asked, smiling proudly

"Dude, it's awesome! Keep rollin' with it. I'm gonna get something to drink. You want something?" I asked, trying not to look back at the happy couple.

Brad shook his head no and I got up. We hit a bump, and I almost fell into Mike's lap. Oh My God would that have been embarrassing? He would have only laughed heartily and made some jokes. I corrected myself and made a slow walk to our little "kitchen". Joe was snoozing in his bunk and Phoenix was reading a book on the couch in the front lounge. I grabbed myself a coke and shut the fridge door. When I stood up, Chester was standing there looking at me.

"You know it's rude to offer one person in the room and not everyone else." Chester said, a smile playing upon his beautiful lips.

"Oh. I'm sorry. It's just you and Mike were deep in conversation. I didn't want to bother you guys." I lied.

He just looked at me. A devious smile. He was taunting me. Then I saw Mike approach and whisper something into Chester's ear and they both began to giggle. Mike was looking at me as he nibbled on Chaz's ear. Maybe I was seeing things. Or it was just wishful thinking. I smiled meekly at the pair and went to finish working with Brad.

Eventually Chester made his way back to where we were working. I tried not to notice, but how can you not notice Chester Bennington? With that milky white skin, tantalizing tattoos, pierced lip, mischievious eyes, wild hair, great ass. I could feel his eyes upon me. But maybe it was just my very vivid imagination. Soon, I heard Bob's voice.

"Hey guys, there's a little town coming up. Does anyone have any preferences?" His voice rang throughout our tour bus.

"Chester" I thought to myself, and smiled.

"How about Mexican food?" Brad suggested

"I'd like burgers." Phoenix said

"Any other suggestions? We've got Mexican or burgers. Votes, guys, votes." said Bob, trying to be diplomatic

Everyone agreed to burgers. About 10 minutes later, I could feel the bus slowing down. We were stopping. I was the last to leave the bus, hoping everyone would leave me alone. I wasn't really in the mood to be social this evening. There was just way too much on my mind.

Chester's POV:

Mike was the one to originally notice Rob's behavior. He figured Rob was jealous since he hadn't dated anyone since the breakup with his long-term girlfriend over a year ago. The more I observed, the more I disagreed. I thought he was... intrigued. Or wanting one or both of us. I couldn't decide. I would notice him staring at us or lost in thought. Neither was like him. So, Mike and I decided to test our theories. Tease him, taunt him, see if he bites the bait.

We agreed to start tonight. So far, it seemed to be working. He was doing his best to avoid us. When Bob said we were stopping for dinner, we thought it would be a good idea to observe how he behaved. Rob was usually a very sociable person, talking to everyone, joking. He was one of those people who always did his best to cheer people up. It was unusual, but very sexy to see him lost in thought and almost pouting. That bottom lip........

Mike and I were the first to leave the bus when we stopped. We didn't usually hold hands in public. It wasn't a good idea. Since it wasn't unusual to see us together, it didn't occur to anyone that we were together. As we were walking, a stroke of genius hit me. Rob could be our little....playmate. I knew he had never been with another man, but he wanted me and my beloved. Maybe it would be fun to have Mike AND Rob.

"Sweetie, what do you want to eat?" Mike whispered into my ear.

"You", I whispered back, seeing the grin that made it's way to his lips.

He ordered our food as I found us a table. Phoenix sat across from me. Joe was bringing his and Phoenix's food. I could tell there was something he wanted to talk about, but didn't want everyone to hear.

"Chaz, have you noticed anything different about Rob?" Phe asked in a concerned voice

"What do you mean?" I replied, suppressing a smile.

"Well, he's not himself. He's really quiet, keeping to himself. He's spending more and more time in la-la land. I'm worried about him." He said with a frown

"Hey, take your food, you lazy bum!" Joe said, laughing

As Phoenix took his food, Mike made his way to the table. Brad, Joe, and Bob were at the table behind us. Rob was all the way across the restaurant. We ate and talked and joked. All the while, I was keeping a close eye on Rob. He wasn't eating. Just sitting there with his food, staring out the window. By the time everyone was ready to leave, he hadn't eaten a bite. Mike went over to him to shake him from his daydream so we could leave.
