The Georgian singer heard his question, then
shook his head.
“Not at all. I can tell you’re serious about
this camera stuff, so I’d like you to be a
part of the crew.”
He smiled reassuringly at him.
gavin couldn’t help the grin that spread across his face at the words the other male spoke. he really wasn’t joking with gav…he was telling the truth. that was..bloody amazing.
“ woah..just damn, this is top, thank you so much..i came in here, and i thought you would be a tosser..most people in your position are, you know…i just didn’t expect this, it’s really awesome, thank you.. ”
he scratched the back of his head, not really knowing what to do with his arms, he also couldn’t stop his mouth from moving..he knew it would drop him into trouble eventually but his rambling continued. honestly, he just wanted to tell ryan how thankful he was for the opportunity..but he wasn’t able to put it into words.
Ryan sat back as he listened to Gavin talk, not at all offended,
then he chuckled when Gavin finished.
“Yeah, I know what you mean. It kind of bothers me that
the cameramen don’t know what they’re doing. I mean,
one of them is pretty good, but they never use his video.”
He said, then he smiled at Gavin’s words.
“Well, I’m glad me achieving my dreams helped you want
to achieve yours.”
He said, then he hummed as he tapped his fingers on his thigh, an
idea forming in his mind.
“If… If you’re really interested in the camera work, I can
give you a position in working a camera. You and this
other guy can work together and show off your talents.”
He offered.
gavin swore at that moment, his brain stopped. the whole world froze. okay that was dramatic..but this man infront of him, the man who had made him finally realise what he wanted from life,,was offering him the chance to do what he wanted?…it wasn’t that dramatic when you put it into perspective.
gav opened his mouth to reply but it just came out like a babble. he coughed a little to hide it.
“ are..are you just pulling my leg?..”
The singer looked over at Gavin, then
smiled, nodding.
“I guess it is ‘top’.”
He said, then he settled back a bit.
“So, what is it that I inspired you to do?”
He asked curiously, clearly interested in what Gavin had
to say. He was a curious person, he liked learning things
about new people he met.
he let out a small laugh, before a grin settling on his face.
“ it wasn’t so much as what you did, more of what your stage crew didn’t do..”
gavin stopped himself, scratching the side of his larger then normal nose.
that really made his crew sound bad…but it was true. they weren’t doing their
jobs right..
“ er, me and my mate, meg went to a gig of yours a while ago..and they were showing a live
video of you, while you were performing on stage, you know, for the people who couldn’t see,
and it just looked..wrong..the angles were off, the way you look at your audience, anyone that
relied on the screen, was buggered, honestly..it was just a video, yeah, but like that’s the only
way some people can see you, and if that’s wrong, then they’re not gonna get the right idea about
you..all because of that video…i guess it was from then, you kinda made me want to show that
audience the real person singing, not just rushed frames to the beat of the music..”
gavin looked away again. that sounded stupid, and weird. god he sounded so weird. why?…
why did he come here, to embarrass himself..
“ and then i remembered you made your dreams happen, with all this…and it just made me believe i could make my own dream, of showing other people, that there is another person on the otherside of that camera, it’s not just an image..”
Ryan smiled as he listened to Gavin speak, then he
brightened visibly.
“Wow, that’s amazing to hear. I’m glad I inspired you,
that means a lot to me. It makes me proud of what I
do whenever I hear someone tell me things like that.”
He responded, his heart fluttering happily. It always took his
breath away and made him feel good whenever he heard such
things from fans.
gav couldn’t help but stare. ryan just looked relaxed, like he didn’t have a care, and honestly, gavin didn’t think he did. he looked like a man who had got where he wanted to.
he chewed his lip a little, before looking away. gav knew he did more then admire this man, but he couldn’t feel attraction. he was straight. gavin breathed in deeply, before grinning at ryan again, putting the thoughts into the back of his head.
“ that’s top..”
The blond singer headed over to the thinner male, holding
his hand out for him to shake.
“It’s nice to meet you. I see you’re the
lucky fan that got the backstage pass.”
He smiled, blue eyes twinkling. Many people loved when he smiled,
especially when they got his eyes to crinkle at the corners. The
Georgian moved to sit on the couch, spotting the space beside him.
“So, tell me about yourself.”
gav’s grin never left his face, as he shook the hand of his influence. he wasn’t the most eloquent at times, but when he was nervous..it was the worst.
he lifted up his hand, to the back of his head, scratching a little. about himself?
“ m’gavin..uh, bollocks..i guess i just wanted to say, thanks. i mean, you’re absolutely top, and it helped me to see what i wanted from life…just, thanks..”
it was a big thing for gavin, and honestly, he couldn’t get out the words he wanted to say. the man infront of him achieved his dreams, and gavin admired him so much for it.

Ryan Haywood loved what he did. He loved singing; he
loved the rush he got when he sang; he loved the feel of
the spotlight on him and the screaming of the fans; he
loved making them scream, what with the way he gyrated
his hips on stage as he sang, he had everyone swooning
for him. He cherished every single second and he still
couldn’t believe he was living his dream.
The blond finished his set and was now heading backstage,
grabbing the water bottle from his best friend and stage
manager, Ray.
“You did awesome, dude.”
The Puerto Rican commented with a smile, walking with
Ryan back to the dressing room.
“Oh! You have a fan waiting for you, by the way.
He had a backstage pass.”
Ryan smiled at the shorter male when he heard the
comment.
“Thanks.”
He answered, then his smile turned into a smirk when he heard
about the fan. It was a rare chance for fans to get backstage passes
to see Ryan, so he was going to make sure this person got the best
out of the experience.
Ray waved, then left, heading to the staff bus. Ryan smiled,
then he opened the door to his dressing room, finding a thin
male with tousled light brown hair, practically bouncing in
his seat.
“Hey.”
Ryan greeted with a smile, laying on his charm, but also keeping the
atmosphere comforting so the younger male wouldn’t feel uncomfortable
or nervous.
if you told gavin a few years ago, that he would be sitting in the dressing room of a famous singer, like a giddy schoolgirl, he would have laughed in your face, and told you to jog on…but here he was. gav owed this man, a lot..he helped him to finally realize what his dream was, and believe that he could achieve it, the man himself, ryan haywood, had already shown that you can achieve your dreams..
it wasn’t until his best friend meg, had dragged him to one of ryan’s concerts that he realized. up until that point, gavin either played video games or messed around with a camera. but as gav stood there, watching him on stage…he just completely captivated both gav and the audience. gavin’s eyes then flickered to the screen, where they were filming ryan, for the people who couldn’t see, and it was wrong. they either went too fast or slow, they never got the right angle to show him off…so gav saw what he wanted to do. he wanted to be up there, filming them, making them look their best for their fans. and this was all thanks to ryan haywood.
as the door opened, gav shot up from the seat. he only wanted to tell the man who had influence his ambitions, thanks..but god he was nervous. gavin swiped his sweaty palms on his jeans, before grinning at ryan.
“ hey…”
