Pairing: Frank (My Chemical Romance) / Daryl (GlassJAw/Head Automatica)
Disclaimer: We don't own them, but we wish we did. This never happened, apart from in our dreams.
Summary: Tequila. Dancing. Crying.
The music changes suddenly, and the bass of the
new song seems louder than all the songs that previously spurted out from the
jukebox in the corner of the bar. You know the song, but you can’t remember it
properly, like a hazy dream you can’t quite recall when you wake from it. You
watch as ripples swim across the surface of the water, in the dirty glass in
front of you, like tiny invisible rocks are being thrown in causing the
miniscule shockwaves.
Your head hurts and your eyes are stinging from
all the smoke. And god you’re so tired. The past few shows have taken it out of
you, and not one to hold back on anything, you’ve been giving it your all,
every night ending up a screaming, sweaty heap on the stage floor. Tonight Bob
had to pick you up and carry you off the stage you were that exhausted.
Mikey appears at the side of your table, clumsily
slamming two tiny shot glasses onto the wood in front of you.
“Tequila!” Mikey yells at you.
“No, thank you…” You look up at him, and see his
huge grin turn into a frown. He looks upset. And he’s wasted, great.
“Pleaaaaaase, Frankie!” He pleads, tugging gently
on the corner of your sleeve. You can’t resist his big, sad eyes so you grab
the glass, tip your head back and drain the glass of its contents.
It tastes sweet, but once you swallow it burns and
stings your throat so much that you grab the other dirty glass and down the
rippling water that was in it.
“Yay!” Mikey exclaims, before turning on his heel
and bounding back onto the dance floor where everyone is rocking out like
there’s no tomorrow. They all do this every night onstage, then we come to a
bar after and they do the same thing. I have no energy for this.
Baby is this love for reeeeeeeeeeeeeal…
You finally recognise the song, and you look
across and spot Gerard, singing along to every word, then you spot Daryl, arms
around Gerard’s neck dancing close to him. Very close to him. This upsets you,
and you don’t know why.
Mikey runs back over and grabs your arm, and
you’re too tired to fight him as he pulls you up and drags you across the room
to join in. Gerard sees you and grins as he pulls away from Daryl, wrapping his
arms around your waist. Daryl’s grin is even wider as his arms wrap around your
neck, his eyes staring intently into your own…and holy fuck he’s grinding
against your leg.
“This is my song you know,” he says proudly.
“Umm, yeah I know.” You reply, trying not to think
about the fact that you’re sandwiched between two beautiful men, one of who is
humping your leg.
The song draws to a close, and Gerard releases his
grip on your waist. Suddenly, Daryl collapses to the floor and just sits there,
legs crossed, laughing and giggling to himself.
“He’s really drunk.” Gerard states,
matter-of-factly, before shrugging his shoulders and bounding off to dance with
Bert and the rest of the guys.
Daryl is still sitting in the middle of the dance
floor, but his tears seem to have turned to quiet, gentle sobs. He’s fucked.
“Come on D, I’ll take you home, OK?” You smile
sweetly, reaching down to help him up.
He throws his arms around your neck again, and
nods gently, allowing you to reach under his arms and pull him off the dirty
floor. You reach round and brush him off, and he giggles when your hand hits
his ass.
Sighing, you turn to look back at your friends, dancing
and laughing, as you make your way across the floor to the door of the bar.
Okay, you
think to yourself. So maybe this wasn't the best idea in the world.
You really should've obtained some help from one of
your stronger, albeit, drunker friends. Helping a drunk Daryl
walk Dragging Daryl back to his room on your own is not an easy task.
His arm is draped over your shoulder and his head is
rolling around on your shoulder. You've got both your arms securely around his
waist, trying desperately to keep him from falling and you think that it really
would be a shame if he were to fall and mess up his pretty face.
Your right shoulder lost all feeling about fifteen
minutes ago, as you struggled across the barren parking lot into the hotel
lobby, so it really is a weight off your shoulders when you finally prop Daryl
up against the wall so you can open the door.
You lift his chin slightly so he's facing you, and
you speak softly, like you would to a small child
"D? Daryl? Do you know where you key is?"
He raises his hand as if to impart some words of
great importance to you, before he slumps forward against your body.
The force of his body nearly causes your own to
fall, but you steady yourself in time to stop you both from going down. Daryl's
head has found what seems to be a comfy spot between your neck and shoulder
blade, and is now mumbling incoherently to you? To himself? Whatever, you can't
understand a word. You'll just have to find the key yourself. You really hope
he didn't leave it behind, you don't exactly think it would be the brightest of
ideas to leave him alone right now if you had to go back for it, you’re
exhausted anyway and there’s no way your dragging his drunk ass back to get it.
Holding one arm tightly round his waist you start to
feel through the pockets of his dark blue hoodie. No luck. You pad the pockets
of his jeans. You can feel something in his back pocket and attempt to pull it
out. It’s just your luck that Daryl’s decided to wear jeans that could almost
rival Mikey's in the skintight department. The fabric is burning your skin as
it rubs against the fingers you are trying to get into the incredibly tight
pocket. And Daryl pushing him self against you is not making things any easier.
"Mmmm Frank..."
"D, I need to get your key outta your pocket.
Do you want to sleep in the hallway?"
"Mmmm, you’re so sweet"
You manage to slide the key out of his back pocket
"And you’re so drunk.” You sigh, softly. “Come
on lets get you in to bed"
You slide the electronic key through the reader and
the door pops open.
"Hmm bed’s good"
"Yes bed’s good. You can sleep it off and have
a killer hangover to remember it by in the morning"
"Hmm sleep's good"
You pull him over to the bed and his tiny frame
collapses on in immediately. He's laying flat on his back with his arms
outstretched, and it occurs to you just how fragile he looks.
You lift his legs off the ground and swing them
round so his whole body is in bed. Reaching over him you pull the blankets over
his tired body and kneel down beside the bed
"D, do you want anything before I go? You gonna
be ok"
He rolls to face you with his eyes still closed,
wrapping a limp arm around your shoulder he presses his lips to yours. He's all
smoke and whiskey, and you are frozen in shock. It takes you a moment to
register, and then he's pulling his lips away, and you really wish he'd just
put them back; you kinda like them, they’re so soft.
He lays his head back down on the pillow
"Mmm, night Frankie"
You pull the door shut gently behind you, and make
your way down the empty hallway to your own room.
