~Mad World~ (Tears For Fears Curt x Roland)

America

January 21st 1983 9:56 am
Curt and Roland were sitting at the table that was in there studio. They were looking into each other's eyes and while holding hands that were resting on the table. They weren't talking at all just admiring each others look's and how beautiful they thought each other looked.
Being so lost in each other's eyes, They didn't even notice Ian And Manny walk in to the studio.
"Aww you guy's are so cute" Ian yelled trying to let Curt and Roland know about their relationship.
Manny just started laughing quietly. Curt and Roland immediately stopped doing what they were doing and pretend that they were just sitting there.
"Guy's it's ok, Ian knows now and he's ok with it"
Roland put his arm around Curt. "That's good it was hard hiding it."
Curt was relieved. However, He was kinda mad at Manny for not keeping his promise.
Roland could notice Curt was angry so he started to tickle his arm which made Curt laugh.
"Don't be all pissed Curt, We can be affectionate more often now."

Curt smiled "I like the sound of that."
The landline rung from the other side of the room. Manny ran over to the phone and picked it up. It was Chris, The band's manager.
"Hello? It's Manny."
"Hey Manny, we got exciting new's.
"What is it?"
"Pale shelter is going to get a music video!"
Manny mouthed the words "oh my god"excitingly.
"Oh my god really!"
"Yes! And here's another thing, All 4 of you are leaving for Los Angeles tonight!"
Manny couldn't believe what he hearing he had to tell the other's.
"That sound's unreal! I'll tell the other's."
Manny turned around, And Curt, Roland and Ian were all standing behind him, Looking very eager to find out what was going on.
"So Manny what's the big news?" Curt asked while squeezing Roland's arm.
"Well boy's, We are flying out to America to film a music video for Pale Shelter!"
All three of the men immediately got excited about especially Roland.
"Oh my god oh my god that's absolutely wonderful! Right Curt? Roland yelled happily.
Curt smiled at his fiancé. "Of Course Ro! I'm glad that a song you wrote will get more popular! Maybe when this music video gets released it'll promote the release of our album!"
Roland put his arm around Curt and pushed Curt's body to his body. "Thank you Curty you're so sweet on me."
"No shit" Manny and Ian say at the same time.
Curt rolled his eyes but then laughed.
"So, when do we leave for America?" Ian asked.

"Tonight."

---------------------

Curt and Roland were back at their house packing for New York and Roland was super excited. Meanwhile Curt was all pissy because they'd just got home the day before. And he wanted to just be alone with Roland for a few days.
"I'm so excited to go to America I've never been." Roland exclaimed.
Roland looked over at Curt, He was pouting while packing his suitcase.
"Curt, What's wrong? We're going to America!"
Curt sighed and looked over at Roland. "What's wrong is that we just got back from London and we're already flying again and all the way out to America."
Roland frowned, he went over to Curt and tried to comfort him.
"I get what you mean. But Curt we are Musicians now and we got busy schedules." Roland explained
Curt finished packing his stuff. He grabbed his suitcase off his and Roland's bed. "Roland I just wanted to spend more casual time with you. I'll be in the car. Lock the house when you leave."
Roland sat on the bed and thought to himself. He knew how to make it up to Curt.

After 10 minutes of thinking to himself, Roland got up and finished packing. He grabbed his suitcase and left his house. He then threw his suitcase in the backseat of the car. And got into the car.
Curt started the car and drove off.
About halfway to the airport, Curt put his hand on top of Roland's which was sitting on his lap. When Curt touched his hand, he turned the interaction into a hand hold. Curt smiled at him and then put his eyes back on the road.

10 minutes later, The two arrived at the the airport. They parked the car and grabbed their bags and walked over to the airstrip. They couldn't find Manny or Ian, So they assumed that they were already on their private jet.
"Seems like we were just here right Curt?" Roland joked while elbowing his fiancé"
"Cause we just were!" Curt responded tensely.
The two entered the plane and the second they walked in the plane door shut and lifted off the ground.
The two looked around the plane again, they saw Manny and Ian were sitting at that bar talking about Manny's son. Roland and Curt put their bags in their room and went back out to the main room.
Roland sat down on one of the couches and pulled out his notepad that was in his pocket. Curt sat on his knees next to him on the couch, He put his hand's on Rolands shoulder and then put his chin on thtop of his hand's.
Roland looked at Curt on his shoulder, He smiled and chuckled for a second which made Curt laugh as well. Roland turned back around and continued to write potential song lyrics on the notepad.
Curt, still having his hands and chin still on Roland's shoulder, tried looking at the notes on Roland's note pad. "Something happens and I'm head over heels huh" Curt commented on Roland's notes.
"Yeah I was thinking of you when I wrote it." Roland responded while scribbling more lyrics on the note.
"Hmm, That part seems like it would be a nice start to a chorus."
Roland thought about it for a few seconds and decided to go with Curt's idea.
"Ok that sounds like a good idea Curt. You got anything mind on a way we could start the song?"
Curt thought of things he felt when he was with Roland. Love is all he could think of, But then he remembered something in his life that has been on his mind a lot lately.
"I feel like the first lyric in the song should be "I wanted to be with you alone. Because that how I'm feeling right now."
Hearing that Made Roland feel guilty. He wanted to make all this up to Curt so bad. So he let that be the first line of the song.
"That sounds like a good idea Curt I'll write that down."
-----------------------
After a long plane ride the plane finally arrived in Los Angeles. No one knew what time it was because they were in a different time zone. The 4 men left the plane with their belongings, and found a taxi. Then they got driven to their hotel Chris already made reservations for.
"Hello we already made reservations for a hotel room" Roland told the clerk.
"Name?" The clerk asked
"Hughes?"
Ah yes, your room number is 149.".
Roland said thank you and grabbed the key. Roland started to find the room, It was on the first floor and he couldn't find it. Curt discovered that the group had passed their room 3 times.
When the band eventually discovered their room, They realized something there were only two beds and a couch.
"Ok we can all agree that Curt and Roland are sharing a bed." Manny joked
Nobody laughed.
Curt and Roland went to their bed and Roland flopped on too it and fell asleep immediately. Curt smiled and got on the bed with him he curled up next to him and fell asleep.
Meanwhile Manny and Ian were deciding on sleeping situation.
"I'll sleep on the couch" Manny declared.
