Vic's POV

"Is he okay? What's happening?" I hear Kellin asks frantically as I see a bright light and feel someone lifting up my eyelids.

I groan and rub my eyes before rolling over. I'm so tired.

"He's very deprived of sleep. His body has shut down. I suggest you find him somewhere comfortable and let him sleep for a few hours. Whatever you do, don't let him operate a vehicle." I hear someone else say.

"Thank you." Kellin says and someone walks away.

"Oh Baby, c'mon. Can you stand up for me?" Kellin asks softly and I just whimper in response.

"It's alright, I've got him." I hear Jesse says as I feel myself being lifted into the air.

"We'll take him to his car." Kellin says as we start walking and that's the last thing I remember before I black out again.

-----

I wake and open my eyes. It's dark and Kellin's back is pressed against my chest. I sit up a little and look around, noticing that we're in my car. Kellin rolls over and looks up at me. He looks tired like he hasn't slept at all.

"You gave me a heart attack." He murmurs and I try to remember back to what happened.

It all comes back to me and I give him an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, that's been happening a lot lately." I murmur.

"I called an ambulance and the paramedic said that you're really sleep deprived. When was the last time you slept?" Kellin asks softly.

"Last week." I admit and he sighs.

"Vic, that's not healthy." He murmurs.

"I know. I just can't sleep without you." I explain and he nods.

"Well, you have me back now so you're going to be sleeping every night from now on, okay? And if you can't sleep then we'll go get you some medication. I thought I was going to lose you tonight." He explains.

"Have you slept tonight?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"No, I was too worried about you." he admits.

"We should go home and get some sleep, yeah?" I say and he smiles.

"I'll drive." Kellin says holding out his hand for the keys.

"No, I'll drive." I protest. "I just slept a little and you haven't slept in days. It'll be a whole lot more safe if I drive."

He nods seeming to agree and I pull my keys out of my pocket. We climb into the front of the car and I start the ignition before driving off. Kellin looks out the window, staring adoringly at something.

"What?" I ask curiously.

"The moon." He sighs softly. "It brought us back together. I always knew it would."

I smile at his cute little comment.

"I wondered why it was so bright tonight." I smile and he gives me a surprised look.

"I'm not the only one who noticed? I know something special was going to happen."

"Me too Kells." I murmur and he smiles at me before looking back out of the window.

I drive us home and pull up the front yard. We get out, feeling beyond tired. It's around four in the morning so Mike's not up when we enter the house. We go straight for my room and don't do anything but get undressed and get into bed.

"I wish I could just stay up all night and talk to you. I want to make up for lost time but we both really need sleep." I murmur, my eyes already closed because I'm unable to keep them open.

"It's okay. I'm tired. We'll talk in the morning and we'll talk all day tomorrow then every day after that." Kellin mumbles before I feel his lips peck mine softly.

I smile at the feeling. I've really missed that.

"I love you Kell. Goodnight." I murmur. "And I know it's not technically Valentine's Day anymore but happy Valentine's Day."

"I love you too Vic and happy Valentine's Day to you too. Goodnight." He mumbles, moving into my arms more before we both quickly fall asleep.

Kellin's POV

I wake up in the morning and I forget that everything happened. I forget that I have Vic back and I forget that I'm at his house so I get a huge shock when I sit up to discover I'm in his bed. Everything comes back to me and I almost want to cry of happiness. I have him back. I didn't think he was going to come back to me but he did and now I'm the happiest man in the world. I notice that he's not next to me anymore. Where is he? I look around and see a note sitting on Vic's pillow along with a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolate. I smile and pick up the note.

'Happy late Valentine's Day. Come downstairs and we'll go out to lunch.

Lots of love, Vic <3'

I smile adoringly at the note before sitting it down on the nightstand and then moving the rose and chocolate there. He's so sweet. I get out of bed and quickly get ready for the day before leaving the room and jogging through the house and downstairs. I find him on the phone in the living room.

"Of course, I forgave him. How could I not? I love him. Yes, I know he loves me. Of course we're going to have more problems, that just happens in relationships but I'll never let it be unsolvable. I love him too much to let that happen again. He's my forever." I smile as I listen in on the conversation. I wonder who he's talking to. "Alright, I'll see you at lunch. Bye Ms. Bostwick."

He puts his phone away and looks up noticing that I'm here.

"You're up." He says almost dreamily before standing up and walking over to me.

He wraps his arms around my waist and I notice that he's wearing my beanie, the one I gave him for Christmas.

"I'm sorry I missed your birthday, Vic." I mumble. Happy birthday by the way." I say regretfully.

"It's okay. We've got plenty more to come." He smiles and I smile at that.

"Did you like my presents?" I ask nervously. I mean, he must right? He's wearing my beanie and he had the guitar I bought him.

"I loved them Kell. I've been wearing this beanie nearly every day. And for the record, I think it looks better on you." He explains with a smile.

I go to argue but I stop myself before I start. I don't think I ever want to have another fight with him again, no matter how small it is.

"How did you like your Christmas present? I know I didn't exactly give it to you in the happiest fashion. Do you still have it? It's okay if you don't." He rambles but I shush him.

"Of course I still have it. I love it. I use it every day." I admit. "It gives me inspiration and helps me write.

He grins at that and presses his lips to mine.

"I'm glad you do. I was considering buying you a helicopter but I settled for the book." He jokes.

"I think I still would have loved the book more." I grin and Vic kisses my nose.

He stares adoringly at me for a few minutes, seeming to get lost in my eyes as a smile stays plastered on my face.

"We're having lunch today." He says dreamily, snapping himself out of his trance. "Me, you, Mike and your mom."

I nod and wrap my arms around his middle, just feeling the sudden urge.

"I love you." I whisper and Vic hugs me back tightly.

"I love you too." Vic murmurs, kissing my forehead softly. "Come cuddle with me while we're still alone?"

I nod and Vic drags me over to the couch. He pulls me onto his lap as he sits down.

"Where's Mike?" I ask.

"Still asleep. He has no idea that I'm even home." Vic says with a chuckle.

"Why wouldn't you be home?" I ask confused. Is he not usually home?

"I've been at college for the past few weeks." He smiles and I give him a surprised look.

"Really? Why aren't you there now?" I ask surprised, proud, shocked and confused all in one.

A saddened look falls onto his face.

"I couldn't do it. It's alright though. I'll try again in a few years if I still want to." He smiles half-heartedly.

"Why couldn't you do it?" I sure ask a lot of questions but I really want to know.

"Because I missed you." Vic sighs and I start to feel guilty.

He places a kiss on my temple and takes my hand in his as he starts playing with my fingers.

"I'm sorry." I mumble. It's probably the thousandth time I've apologized since I got him back but I truly am sorry.

"No, it's not your fault. Besides, if I hadn't dropped out then I would never have come to the show last night and we wouldn't be together right now." Vic explains and I shudder at the thought of not having him here with me right now.

"I guess you have a point." I smile softly.

He returns the smile and kisses my cheek again. A thought comes into mind and I'm hesitant about bringing it up but I feel like I need to.

"How did the trial go?" I ask softly.

Vic swallows hard and gives me a weak smile.

"It was hard. Especially without you there. But I made it through. They found him guilty so my father's in jail for a few years. I have a restraining order against him so he won't be a bother when he gets out and overall things went okay. Like I said, it was hard. But you were in my mind the entire day, so I knew I could get through it." He explains, giving me a loving smile.

"I knew you'd get through it. You've always been so strong." I murmur and he grins before kissing my cheek.

"You give me strength Darling." He murmurs and my heart swells.

"Vic, is that you?" I hear Mike ask walking into the room. He sees Vic and I and his jaw drops open.

"Holy shit. You guys are back together. Holy shit. Oh my gosh." Mike gushes as he sits on the sofa next to us.

Vic hums in response before kissing my cheek once again.

"I knew it would happen. I just knew it. You guys are just meant for each‒Wait! Vic, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in college?" Mike asks.

"Yeah...about that." Vic chuckles nervously. "I dropped out."

"Vic, why?" Mike sighs.

"I needed to get Kellin back." Vic smiles lightly.

Mike sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Okay. As long as you're happy." He smiles lightly and Vic nods before kissing the top of my head.

"Of course I am. I've got everything I've ever wanted." He breathes and my heart swells. "A perfect boyfriend, an amazing brother. What more do I need?" Vic grins.

I can't help but to pull him into a kiss.

"I can't believe you're still here." Vic whispers, pulling away.

"I told you I would never leave you." I smile and he grins.

"You have such a beautiful smile."

"Not as beautiful as yours Vic." I reply.
