Now that they had taken the final step in their relationship, Brian and AJ were the perfect example of a happy couple. They spent all of their free time in one another’s company. Half the time they were all hanging out as a group again, reconnecting with one another. There were movie nights, and game nights. Each member respected the fact that AJ no longer drank and kept the parties alcohol free.
Two months after the first time they made love, they decided to come out to the press about their relationship. With the others behind them for support, they told the media.
For a short while there was a plummet in sales. People talked about them all over the television and in the news. They were a hot item and a big scandal. But, as they had predicted would happen, the ruckus died down in a very short time. There was always something new to look at. Someone else who was shocking the world.
They finished out their tour with a bang, all of them happy with the time they had together and the way that they had grown in their friendships. But they also agreed that it was time for the bands to take a break. They would not be touring again for a while.
Brian and AJ moved in to a house together, content to spend their free time at home. Neither of them had ever been happier and it was obvious to anyone who saw them together that they were meant to be together.
Each night before going to bed, AJ said a prayer, thanking God for bringing this man in to his life. Sometimes the greatest things can come out of the biggest mistakes.
