Who: Vincenzo and Matteo Lorenzi
What: Family Business
Where: Matty's apartment
When: Monday morning

It was after 11am and Vincenzo was still in bed. He didn't have a whole lot of intentions of getting up, either. Things with New York had been okay at first. Then they got awesome. Then the brakes were slammed on when Harry got sick, and it felt awful. Vince had already been struggling not being able to play piano, but homesickness began to set in. Other things snowballed, and it was hard to keep his spirits up. His dad had been going to come over from Italy as soon as the news broke that Harry had been diagnosed with Type I Diabetes, just like Nick. Because that's what their family did. They rallied around and supported everyone when something happened with one of their own. It's what they did after Vince's accident. He had come-to in hospital to a roomful of Italians wanting to take care of him and feed him.

But his dad got held up with his work and hadn't been able to fly out yet. Soon, but not yet. Harry was feeling a little better, but Vince didn't want to visit him. All he wanted to do was lie in bed and wallow. Sleep and wallow. Then sleep some more. He had gotten up the day before, but all he did was sit on the couch and binge-watch Netflix. He had VIP tickets so see some Broadway show, he didn't want to do that. He checked his phone, cleared some notifs and messages from Brody, and rolled back over in bed to stare at the wall.

Who: Oakley Vance and Matteo Lorenzi
What: Good things comes to those who wait
Where: Las Vegas, Nevada
When: Sunday night

Luck had definitely been on Oakley's side when he had a booked photoshoot in Chicago with The Matteo Lorenzi. Of course he knew who Matteo was. Everyone in the fashion world worth their pennies knew who he was. In fact, in the fashion world, he was way more popular for being an incredibly hot style icon than he was known for being a singer. The photoshoot was for a magazine doing an interview with Matteo, and in this particular shoot, they wanted Matteo flanked by half naked male models, much like you would find a guy flanked by half-naked female models in a 'perfect' straight world. The cool thing was, Matteo was very out, and very proud. He wasn't just a style icon, he was a gay icon, so the shoot was bloody awesome for Oakley to have been part of.

It just so happened that Matteo had zeroed him out after the shoot. By, what Oakley could only describe as, the hottest eye sex he had ever been on the receiving end of. Those fucking eyes. They were sex. The Italian Stallion look was irresistible. Was Oakley going to politely turn Matteo down when he was outright seduced in Matteo's dressing room? Hell to the no. In fact, he pretty much got on his knees ASAP in a completely shameless way too. It had been a pleasant surprise to learn that his deep throating skills were a prized asset. Not many dudes would be able to deep throat what Matteo was packing. It was great. It was steaming hot. They had a lot of fun.

But Oakley wasn't always the sort to fuck and run. Sometimes, he enjoyed getting to know the people he slept with. He and Matteo actually had a nice conversation after they fucked each other on multiple surfaces in Oakley's hotel room. The Italian singer intrigued Oakley a lot. He ended up spending way too many hours on Google the following night reading about Matteo and his life. What an incredibly fascinating guy. That all meant that Oakley wanted to hear him sing live, so with no commitments until he was scheduled on a job with FABULOUS the following week, he bought a ticket to Matteo's Vegas show and flew down to see him perform. It was unbelievable. Oakley was gobsmacked, and not a lot in this world rendered him speechless. Matteo's voice was literally out of this world.

It paid to have connections. Oakley called in a favour and managed to score himself a backstage pass with VIP access. By the time Matteo's show was over and he was coming off stage, Oakley was ready to pounce. Though, not in a skeevy way. Not really. Maybe a little, because Matteo was gorgeous. More in a joking prankster way. He intercepted Matteo's path once he headed back stage, pretty much ignoring Matteo's scary looking Mafia-like bodyguards. "I wonder how many people out there know that the real reason they called you a 'Tenor' is because you're ten out of ten in more ways than one," he mused, giving Matteo a wicked smirk.

Hey... I was just thinking about you and wondering how your tour is going. What city are you in tonight?

Who: Nick Matheson and Matteo Lorenzi
What: Family matters
Where: Toronto, Canada
When: After THIS

Nick hadn't hesitated in booking flights to join Matteo on his tour for a week. The week would end with Matteo's show in Miami, so they would have a couple of days in Florida with the family next weekend. The arrangement now was that Cheyne would fly down with Harry, because Nick really wanted his boyfriend to meet his parents and sisters. It was perfect timing, and a reason to set things in stone or life could just keep getting in the way.

Harry was happy spending the week with Dani and Benny, and they loved having him. Nick didn't need to worry about that, and Dani was glad Nick was going to spend some one-on-one boy bonding time with Matteo. Matteo had admitted - after some nudging - that he wasn't feeling in top form emotionally. He could put up a good front for his work and behind incredible amounts of expensive fashion, but behind all that, Matteo needed his family and it was their job to be there for him to support him. They were all he had now his mother wasn't with them anymore.

Matteo had a suite in the hotel, so Nick was staying there with him as it had two rooms. He was tired after the flight and they were waiting on room service to arrive so Nick could eat and take his insulin. "Okay, so I need to know," he began from where he was lounging on the chaise lounge in the suite. "Would you ever consider dating and not just flings? Maybe that's why the loneliness is so amplified. You don't have someone to connect with more intimately. It's nice. When you get it right, it's really nice. You said yourself you liked Luka and had a connection to him, so you're not incapable. Is it something you would want?"

Who: Justin Campbell, Kyan Wilson and everyone else at the Dirty Dancing opening night party
What: PARTY HARD
Where: Broadway, NYC
When: Saturday night

It was all about the understudies tonight with Caden arranging for the entire Footloose main cast to be able to be there for the opening night of Dirty Dancing. There was no doubt about it that they all had to be there to support Kyan, and wouldn't have missed it for the world. They were over the moon for him, and so proud. It went without saying - Kyan nailed the role of Johnny Castle. It had been a sell-out audience, and the standing ovation was totally deserved. Justin was bursting with pride. Kyan used to be his understudy, and despite a blip in the system with them in the early days, Justin couldn't be more proud of his friend now. It was clear why Caden 100% wanted Kyan for the role. He was the new Johnny Castle.

Needless to say, the after party was buzzing with excited guests before any of the actors and actresses from Caden's shows arrived. They had media and press obligations to see to before they could make it to the party, but they did eventually get there. The understudies from Footloose, Cinderella, and Grease would be able to come to the party once their own shows were done for the night. When Kyan and Louise arrived, with their supporting cast (including Skylar) arrived, it was time to really get the party started. Justin had ditched his expensive designer suit he had worn to the theatre for something more comfortable, and he came out to kick off the main party by getting everyone pumped singing Love Shack with Reecy and demanding everyone get up to dance.

Who: Matteo and Dani Lorenzi
What: Trying to fit
Where: Dani's apartment, NYC
When: Wednesday night

Matteo was exhausted. He had spent the last two days doing media and PR, which meant being 100% on the ball and immaculate at all times. It wasn't often people would see him anything but fashionable, but that night he was lying on Dani's sofa in a pair of sweats, a Cars t-shirt Benny had given him for Christmas, his hair flopping all over the place because he hadn't bothered to style it after his shower and he was staring aimlessly at the TV flicking through the Netflix options. His tired brain just wasn't really finding anything he wanted to watch. It all felt like too much effort.

Dani had been pleased to hear he was now taking a few days off to rest in the lead up to his tour. At this moment, all he could think about was getting plenty of sleep. He would just likely end up bored not even half a day into his days off like he always did. He would end up at the gym, or shopping on Fifth Avenue. He hadn't done any sightseeing this trip because he was trying to convince him every other hour that he wasn't a tourist. He had plenty to keep him busy, but he had let himself fall into a bit of a funk. Could he make New York home? He still didn't know.

Dani had been getting Benny bathed and ready for bed. When she came back into the living room, she had a cuppa for both of them. He had to get himself sitting up more to be able to accept it. "Grazie, sorella. You didn't have to do this. You've had a busy day too and you already cooked dinner."

• Glad You Came, The Wanted


Luka knew Valentine's Day was what you made it. You didn't have to be in a relationship to recognise it as special. Luka was the sort who got Valentine's cards and gifts for his moms, and also his best friends. Why the hell not? It was your life. You made your own rules. As miserable, cynical and bitter some people could be about the day, bottom line was, they were miserable, cynical and bitter, and Luka would rather be content and happy than any of those. If that meant making his moms smile because he sent them roses and cute Valentine's cards for for the day, and if it meant it made them laugh when he sent them one from 'The dog', their beloved pet, even better.

He did recognise that it had the ability to make some people feel lonely. If you took it for the bare bones black and white meaning, that is... )

Who? Matteo Lorenzi and Jeff Hinton
What? A cup of coffee
When? Thursday afternoon
Where? The theater where Matteo's practicing

Working on Broadway did have its perks, including the fact that, when you showed up at a theater where there wasn't an open show, you could often find someone you knew who would let you in. That was how Jeff scored his way into the theater where Matteo was practicing to prepare for his tour, with two hot, steamy cups in hand... Jeff's was a mint tea with steamed milk, Matteo's his requested caffe d'orzo, which Jeff had only just heard of and learned wasn't actually coffee at all, but a barley drink that was brewed like coffee. He'd have to keep it in mind, since coffee beyond a single cup most days was an absolute no-go if he didn't want his migraines to knock him on his ass.

He made his way into the theater and took a seat, placing the cups in the tray he'd been provided at the cafe into the seat next to him while he sat there listening to Matteo rehearse. There was no doubt, the guy had an absolutely stunning voice, and while opera wasn't usually Jeff's favorite type of music, Matteo's voice had him listening with the rapt attention that he'd give to his favorite songs. He'd seated himself close enough that Matteo would be able to see him, but was careful not to interrupt. He knew how important rehearsals were, and that interrupting them was a sure fire way to piss a driven performer off. So he waited, watching patiently and soaking in the sheer beauty of Matteo's voice.

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." - Berthold Auerbach

Matteo would never admit he was feeling uncertain and troubled about his decision to move to New York. He almost always put up a very confident façade, and this time was no different. Being away from home was impacting on him, however. New York was very different to Milan, and even though he was working just about every waking moment each day to rehearse for his tour, there was a lot troubling his mind behind the façade.

He wouldn't let it disrupt his work. Music and singing was part of his soul; he lived and breathed it unconditionally... )

Valentine's Day:

1) A time you wish you had $1 for every time some twat says "It's just another day" or "It's a Hallmark money making scheme" like a dull judgemental beigeist does so well;
2) A great excuse for sweet couples to pause and have some fun with a day to honour romance and throw around some cute love tokens for the hell of it because love is sweet and deserves a fun side;
3) An epic reminder of what a workaholic sacrifices to be a workaholic.

Who: Luka Zanardi and Matteo Lorenzi
What: Long time, no see
Where: Nick's Gallery, Soho
When: Sunday morning

After everything that happened with Cole, Luka didn't know what way was up right now. His book was set to be released in just a couple of weeks and all the signings had been set with various book stores around America. He had every intention of holding up his end of the bargain with Nick, and letting Harry come along to the New York signing in advance to meet him. Luka had always been a guy of his word and he had enjoyed meeting Nick and chatting to him. He just wasn't on his usual game after what happened. He came into the city to catch up on some business and hopefully try to clear his head a little.

He finished a meeting with his agent and publisher, and then headed straight over to Soho. He wasn't sure if Nick was going to be there, but he had the details to pass on via one of his staff if he wasn't. It was amazing how something could happen like a bolt out of the blue in your life, and suddenly it felt like it changed so much. Cole was still a stranger, but at the same time, what happened had been very sobering to Luka, bringing him back to reality with a very hard thump. He couldn't stop thinking about it. He couldn't stop thinking about the fact if he had been a few minutes later out on his balcony, Cole would've died.

He entered the gallery, looking around. He couldn't help a faint smile seeing that Nick had, indeed, left the painting of Cheyne up on the wall and it now had a ticket in the corner that said not for sale. He went up to the counter and rang the little bell there. The gallery had a few patrons looking around, so staff were probably tied up anyway.

"We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes—understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success." - Arianna Huffington

Fashion wasn’t really Jeff’s thing per se. He enjoyed it, and it was a part of being in the public eye, but he was mostly just grateful that he had people around him who would give him a smack in the head if he wore something that looked awful. Tonight, he was dressed extra nicely, though, joining Justin at a VIP event put on by FABULOUS, the magazine that his mother and uncle ran together. Jeff was in a suit that he probably wouldn’t have been able to afford when he was working at the veterinarian’s office, but even as an understudy, Caden ensured his cast and crew were always paid quite well, and Jeff had splurged on the black tailored suit with one of his first paychecks. Will would be there already, considering that he worked as an intern to Harley Rayner, a model and journalist for the magazine, so Jeff got to be Justin’s Plus One, much to the joking of Jeff, Justin, and Will that this would probably cause a tabloid hysteria. There were entire Tumblrs devoted to shipping Willstin, and Jeff would probably be the subject of major fangirl hate.

As they arrived in a limo, every step of this done with absolute class and style, Jeff’s eyes went wide... )

Who: Matteo Lorenzi and Curtis Harvey
What: When you meet the sassy gay bitch brother
Where: Dani's apartment
When: Late Monday afternoon

Because Matteo had surprised Dani, and she had 100%, and then some, insisted that Matteo stay with her for his break. He hadn't assumed he could do that, but he was excited when she asked because on top of his to-do list in New York was spend time with his family, closely followed by relaxing. What that meant was Dani needed to get some extra things with an extra mouth to feed. Matteo offered to go to the store for her if she gave him directions because he wasn't very familiar with the City. He had already been tired and she told him not to be stupid. Benny needed a nap, so she suggested they take one together while she did the shopping. Sounded like an awesome plan to Matteo with the jetlag kicking in.

Dani did tell him that Benny's father would be by after work to pick Benny up to have the evening with him and that he could come when she was out. Matteo logged the information away before he and Benny crashed out on the sofa together five minutes into Disney's Fantasia. The apartment buzzer woke Matteo because he was a bit of a light sleeper in an unfamiliar environment. Benny was still snoozing hugging his teddy bear, so Matteo got up to get the door.

He raked his fingers through his hair to smooth it down and then answered the door. What Curtis received immediately before any words were said was a pointed up and down looked before Matteo's dark eyes landed on his face with an accompanying smirk. "Well, I hope you're skills in bed are better than your dress sense."

Who? Luci, Dani and Matteo Lorenzi
What? Sibling reunion
When? Later Monday morning
Where? Dani's apartment, NYC

Dani had assured Luci that nothing was wrong, and even her twin sense was telling her there was nothing to worry about, but there was a part of Luci that always worried, even when she knew she had no reason. That wasn't how she had always been. It had started when they lost their big sister, and extended to her entire family, from her twin to her nephew to her cousins. So when Dani wanted to see her, Luci would be on her way quick. There were some things in life that could wait. As far as Luci was concerned, family wasn't one of them. They didn't wait. She'd chosen work over family once or twice in the past, and it always ended up a shitty situation that she regretted. She didn't run that risk anymore.

She arrived at Dani's place, and though she had a key, it was only used in emergencies. Instead, she rang the buzzer and waited until Dani came to the door. "Hey, sis," she said, wrapping her up in a hug as Benny came to see who was at the door, immediately squishing his way into the hug, too, with a happy cry of, "Auntie Luci!" Once the hug was broken, Luci scooped Benny up into her arms for a cuddle, and met his mom's gaze. "What's going on?" she asked her.
