Pairing: Gabe/William
Summary: Taken from the fact that William's favourite Fall Out Boy song is "XO."
Warning: William's underage ass. (He's 16 at the time.)
Disclaimer: Not mine, they still belong to Pete. (I haven't obtained them yet. It really sucks.)
Gabe calmed down the crowd, taking a quick look over the big crowd, all there for Midtown. He smiled, motioning for his band mates to start up the next song as he spotted the young boy in the back of the venue. He mouthed something, too fast for it to be recognizable. But the boy got it.

“Hey,” Gabe murmured, slinking up behind the young boy he had seen in the audience earlier that night.
“Hey,” the boy turned, Gabe’s hands on his hips. Gabe raised his eyebrows and the boy nodded. “Yeah, You talk to Pete?” William asked, his young face trusting Gabe.
“Yeah, but it may take a little more convincing,” Gabe replied steadily, keeping an eye on the rest of the fans to make sure that he and the young boy weren’t spotted.
“Whatever it takes,” William agreed automatically, desperate.
“Come on then,” Gabe grabbed the boy’s wrist, pulling him off to the Midtown bus. William followed the older guy onto the bus and to the back lounge. William didn’t see anyone else on the bus, as the band were probably meeting fans and the crew probably loading merch and equipment. Gabe leaned back against the wall, pulling William into a quick kiss before the boy went down on his knees. William licked his lips and unzipped the older man’s washed out jeans, pulling them down to his ankles. William looked up through his hair, meeting Gabe’s eyes just for a second before he licked his lips again and took Gabe’s cock into his mouth. Gabe moaned at the warm wet sensation, his hands finding William’s hair. William tried to open his throat, knowing that in a second Gabe was going to push harder. The first few times they had done this, William had gotten sick when Gabe pushed harder or bucked into his mouth, but he’d been working on getting better at this, and was pretty sure he could take it this time. William tried to swallow, ignoring the sight gag reflex as Gabe went further into his throat.
“Fuck,” Gabe gasped, bucking into the boy’s mouth. William accepted it, moving his tongue along the underside and making Gabe moan again. Gabe tangled his fingers in the boy’s hair, pulling hard as he got a warm feeling in his stomach. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Gabe murmured, panting hard as the feeling took over and he came. William swallowed all of it, moving his tongue around Gabe’s cock through his orgasm. “Fucking hell, you’ve gotten better,” Gabe murmured as he pulled the boy up and kissed him. William looked at Gabe, his eyes questioning.
“I said I’d get you on the tour, right?” Gabe replied. Gabe stood there a few minutes longer, calming himself down and fixing his clothes with William just standing there beside him. “Wanna come to the after party?” Gabe asked, his eyes finally meeting the younger boy’s. William grinned.
“Fuck yeah,” he smiled. This was the first time Gabe had invited him to stay longer, and even if it was just so they could fuck later, William was going to take it. Gabe nodded and stood up fully, no longer leaning against the wall and motioned for William to follow. William followed him off the bus, then around the back of the venue where some of the other band members and crew were.
“Who’s this?” Rob asked, approaching William and Gabe.
“William,” Gabe replied, “he’s coming to the after party,” Gabe stated. William watched as Rob just nodded and walked off. As much as William wanted to tell himself that Gabe didn’t do this to a different person in every city, how the rest of Midtown were just shrugging it off didn’t help him believe that.
“You ready to go, Gabe?” one of the security guys asked and he nodded as he looked at William. Gabe lead William to a SUV that was waiting and they both climbed in. The rest of Midtown soon piled in also and the car started off down the road. Gabe slid his hand in between William’s thighs in the dark car, and William closed his eyes breathing deeply to try to not get hard. The band members laughed and carried on among themselves, leaving William feeling alone, but leaving his mind to focus on not getting too turned on by the hand running up and down his thigh. Soon they pulled up outside of a club and they all got out, walking up to the door. Gabe let all the others go in first, then showed his ID. The bouncer nodded and Gabe pulled a few bills from his wallet out of his pocket, slipping it to the man.
“He’s with me,” Gabe stated, grabbing William’s wrist and walking in. Gabe pulled the boy to the restroom, stopping him once they were inside. “First, don’t leave my side. It’ll be easier to stay out of trouble that way. Second, if you want a drink, tell me, I’ll get it. Third,” Gabe looked up and down the boy, “Just try to look and act older than you are. For my sake, please,” Gabe finished.
“Okay,” William agreed. Gabe smiled then kissed the boy quickly on the lips.
“Come on,” Gabe led the younger boy out of the bathroom then to the bar, ordering two drinks. The bartender handed them over and Gabe thanked him, stepping away from the bar and handing one to William. William took it with a smile, then took a sip of it, trying not to grimace as he swallowed. Gabe laughed as he finished his drink, taking William’s and setting it down on the counter and dragging William out to dance. They stayed at the club for about an hour until Gabe got bored and told his security that they were leaving. He’d had had a few drinks, and William had had only the few sips that he had taken when they first got there. Gabe quickly dragged the young boy out of the club.
Where are we going?” William asked, stopping Gabe by grabbing his arm.
“Hotel,” Gabe murmured, pressing a kiss to the boy’s mouth before he started walking down the sidewalk. William followed him, and they arrived at the hotel a few minutes later. Gabe decided to use the stairs, stumbling up them as he went. Every time he stumbled and saw William, he’d smile and press a kiss to the boy’s lips. William just smiled, following Gabe to the third floor, where Gabe pulled a keycard from his back pocket. He opened the door after a few tries and pulled William into the room. Gabe pushed William against the wall, kissing him hard and grinding against him.
“Fucking hot,” Gabe murmured against the sixteen-year-olds mouth. Gabe hastily moved the boy over to the bed, pushing him down and crawling on top of him. He pulled off William’s shirt, then his own. Gabe sloppily kissed down the boy’s chest , then got to his pants, unzipping them and fighting the tight material off. Gabe sucked on the boy’s hip, licking the skin before pulling away to remove his own pants. He moved back up, kissing William forcefully and grinding their hips together.
“Fuck,” Gabe moaned, reaching down to his packet’s pocket to find a condom. He rolled it onto his cock before reaching up to stick his fingers in William’s mouth. William ran his tongue around the digits, trying to make sure they were as slick and wet as possible. Gabe pulled his fingers from the boy’s mouth and spread William’s legs. He ran his fingers down and pressed at William’s entrance, making the boy gasp.
“Shit,” William murmured, trying to ignore the sharp burn of two of Gabe’s fingers pressing past the muscle of his entrance. Gabe moved his fingers around, scissoring them inside the young boy. William closed his eyes, biting his lip hard as he pushed back against Gabe’s fingers. William moaned as Gabe’s fingers brushed up against his spot then Gabe pulled his fingers out. “Fuck,” William gasped a the emptiness and panted. Gabe spit in his hand and rubbed it on his cock, then pulled William’s legs up on his hips and pressed in. William gasped again, trying to relax but failing horribly. He opened his eyes to blink away some tears, but closed them a moment later as Gabe thrust in again.
“Fucking hell, you’re hot,” Gabe murmured, kissing the boy’s mouth again. Gabe came a few thrusts later, moaning as he did. He pulled out then laid beside William, running his hand down to grip William’s cock. William thrust into his hand a few times, a moan falling from his lips as he came too. Gabe kissed the boy sloppily then relaxed and passed out a minute later.
-«»-«»-«»-«»-«»-
“Hey, kid, wake up,” Gabe murmured, shaking the boy. William turned over and blinked blurrily up at Gabe. “You need to leave,” Gabe told him, throwing his clothes to him. William sat up, noticing Gabe was already dressed and starting to pull on his own shirt.
“Gabe?” William asked as he stood up to get his pants on. Gabe stopped what he was doing and looked at the boy. “Please,” William begged.
“Don’t worry about it,” Gabe instructed. “Just…write your number down.” William, once he was dressed, found the small pad of paper and pen provided by the hotel and scribbled down his phone number. Gabe took it from him when he was done and tucked it in a side pocket of his suitcase. “I’ll have someone call you to inform you on when tour starts,” Gabe stated. “Now, get out.” I’ve got a bus to catch in ten minutes and this room is supposed to be empty.”
“Thanks,” William murmured, checking himself in the hotel mirror before opening the door and leaving in a hurry to get back home before his parents suspected something.
Gabe took a quick look around the hotel room to make sure he wasn’t forgetting anything,, spotting a condom wrapper on the floor. He briefly wondered what had happened the night before, but shook it off and quickly left the room.
-«»-«»-«»-«»-«»-
William was sitting on the small couch in their dressing room, just thinking about everything that had happened lately. He was on tour with Fall Out Boy and Midtown and it was a dream come true. William smiled, standing from his seat to go see where the rest of his own band were. He opened the door, almost running into the boy who looked to be on his way into the room.
“Congrats, you’re the cockslut of the tour,” Sisky murmured, pushing past William angrily.
“What?” William asked, confused. “What are you talking about?” Sisky glared at him.
“Ask Gabe, you seem to be pretty close to him,” he muttered in reply. William stood there for a moment before leaving the room to find Gabe.
“Why would you tell everyone?!” William yelled, shoving the Midtown singer from behind. Gabe turned around and William shoved him again.
“William!” Gabe yelled back, grabbing the boy’s wrists and pinning him against the wall. “The fuck? Look, you wanna talk? That’s fine. But don’t you dare fucking push me,” Gabe gritted to the boy. William breathed heavily, glaring at Gabe. “Let’s go talk on my bus,” Gabe suggested, pulling the boy’s wrists to lead him. William stopped, jerking his wrist away.
“I’m not going to your bus with you,” William replied, angrily. They stood their ground, both boys measuring up the other.
“Then what do you want to do, ‘cause I’m not fighting you. Fucking say what the problem is,” Gabe stated.
“Why did you tell everybody,” William asked, his voice quieting more and evening out.
“Tell everyone what?”
“How I got on this tour.”
“I didn’t,” Gabe replied.
“Then how does everyone know?”
“I don’t know,” Gabe replied.
“Sure you don’t,” William scoffed, turning sharp and stalking away from him. Gabe turned around and stood there confused.
-«»-«»-«»-«»-«»-
William kept his distance the next few days, staying away from everyone except his band. And even they weren’t happy with him. He spent these days trying to apologize to his band. Sisky was angry though. He really expected William to be better than that- to let them get into this business on their own, not by sucking the right dicks.
A few states later, William was again sitting on a couch in their dressing room, alone, when there was a slight knock on the door before it opened slowly. Gabe walked in, closing the door behind him. William glanced up, but sighed and looked back down to his notebook when he saw who it was.
“We need to talk,” Gabe stated, taking a very close seat next to William. William huffed but didn’t stop writing. “William,” Gabe called, throwing his arm around the boy’s shoulder and resting his chin on the boy’s shoulder also. “Put it down. Let’s talk,” Gabe murmured softly into his ear. William reluctantly put the notebook aside and looked at Gabe, a hurt look in his eyes. “I found out how everyone heard,” Gabe offered. “Pete Wentz has a big mouth,” Gabe murmured. “I told Pete because Pete and I tell each other everything. We’re really close. And he accidentally said it out loud, because it’s not a big deal to him. A lot of people sleep with people to get big. Especially to get to Pete. It’s not anything big to him, but a lot of them still don’t get anywhere,” Gabe explained. “But William, you have so much potential. You’re gonna make it somewhere if you don’t give it all up now I promise.”
“But everyone already knows now. What’s the point?” William looked at Gabe, defeated.
“Everyone doesn’t know. The fans don’t know. Only the people on this tour know, and we’re good at forgetting,” Gabe smirked. They were quiet for a moment before Gabe spoke up again, this time more serious, and quieter.
“Were you a virgin?” he asked. William bit his lip and he nodded a ‘yes.’
“Do you remember it?” William asked, but very quietly, afraid of the answer. Gabe’s eyes darkened as he shook his head ‘no.’
“But I wish I did,” Gabe added when he saw the disappointment in William’s gaze. “I’m sure you were beautiful,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to William’s cheek.
“Were you sore?” Gabe asked, smirking fondly as he played in the boy’s hair.
“For days,” William replied, a slight laugh at the cocky arrogance in Gabe’s posture.
“Don’t regret it. You got what you wanted, right?”
“Yeah, but I’m not sure it was worth it now,” the eighteen-year-old murmured.
“William, I didn’t pick you because I pitied you. At first, yeah, I did it because you were pretty. William, my god, you’re fucking gorgeous,” Gabe laughed, shaking his head. “But you had so much determination and you wanted it. And…” Gabe paused, the look on his face showing that he was battling on what to say. “And, I like you. Like, everything about you confuses me, but I love it. I found myself looking forward to Chicago shows, just because I knew you would be there. Damn, I like you, William, like, really like you. Not just your body, but everything. I want from you than just a casual fuck,” Gabe laughed quietly, trying to lighten the mood. “Fuck, I talk too much,” he murmured when William didn’t speak.
“So, like…a real relationship?” William questioned, unsure and quiet, afraid he’d jinx it or something.
“Do you know anything about me?” Gabe asked sarcastically. William showed a slight smirk, a look of ‘oh, you definitely don’t want to know how much I know about you’ but somehow still looked worried. “I sleep with a different guy every night. I enjoy having fun and not being tied down. I can’t handle someone expecting me to miss them or wanting me to call them every night before they go to sleep. Half the time I pass out drunk before I even realize that the night is over. I kiss random people that just so happen to look pretty in the light they’re standing in. And I don’t want to hurt you like that. Like it or not, Midtown is ending. And I have no fucking clue what I’m going to do. But your band can go so far. I don’t want to hold you down either. Love doesn’t want me, but I’ll take a chance if you want to….Say something before I keep talking nonsense shit,” Gabe pleaded, trying to shut himself up.
“W-who wouldn’t want to be with you?” William murmured. “You’re Gabe Saporta.”
“Is that a yes to a relationship?” Gabe laughed, quietly.
“Um…maybe,” William scrunched up his face.
“Let’s give it a try for this tour, and just see where we go,” Gabe smiled. William met his eyes, the younger’s eyes trusting. “But you can’t hate me when I fuck something up,” Gabe quickly threw in, smiling. “Good?”
“Good,” William smiled, his eyes shining brightly.
“Alright,” Gabe grinned. William blushed over, realizing how stupid he must look with such a big grin on his face. But Gabe didn’t care. Just made him blush harder by pressing a kiss to his cheek.
Choose love or sympathy, but never both.
