Hearts & Stars (A Paul Stanley X Tommy Thayer Rock & Roll Love Story)

Chapter 3-So obvious, views of the Cat (Eric Singer POV)

Some things are blatantly obvious, like for instance that Tommy was going to be the new spaceman. Technically he's a much better player than Ace, easier to get along with...you know that kind of thing. Plus, Tommy is a quiet shy guy...till he gets to know you, but once he opens, up to you... he's kind of a live wire. He's also my best friend, one of my best friends. Anyway, I digress.

The other blatantly obvious thing is: Tommy's feelings for the Starchild himself, Paul Stanley and vice versa. Obvious to everyone, but those two. I don't get it, well I don't get how neither one doesn't see it...They've been in love with each other since they meet in 1995, it was love at first sight kind of thing.... something you usually see only in movies.

Then again, I suppose it all goes back to Ace...the now former spaceman. Everyone knows how they've been in a relationship, or rather had been for years at one point and then the fiasco resumed in 96', but didn't last every long. Paul had, had enough, finally. It was enough though to break Tommy's heart, Tommy had told me he didn't think he could compete. I had scoffed and told him, its not a competition...that he's an amazing guy, sweet...perfect for Paul I thought. I suppose really Tommy didn't think he could compete with the memory and was jealous. Jealous of Paul and Ace having been for lack of a better term: Fuck buddies? Jealous because it wasn't HIM Paul was with.

Now, that Tommy was officially going to be apart of Kiss...I just hope that it will FINALLY lead to him & Paul telling each other that they love each other. But those two, stubborn and oblivious as hell...it's unreal. Anyway, as for myself? That too is an interesting tale. For I am married to the demon himself: Gene Simmons. We've been married since 1993 and have two kids and both are girls. Yes, you heard that right...Gene Simmons man of 5000 conquests married ME. Gene had totally been against marriage...and I had never wanted to force him into anything when we fell in love upon meeting in 1992.

I had initially found Gene to be a self-centered asshole, super attractive...but still an asshole. What I didn't know is that he'd felt the same way about me and how I found out is he got jealous of seeing me with Tommy. Now, Tommy and I were simply good friends, still are as a matter of fact. He's like a brother to me...Anyway, one day Tommy had dropped by during practice, and we were laughing and joking like normal, and Gene apparently was fuming and what happened that shocked not only me, but everyone well.... Gene grabbed me by the arm, spun me around and kissed me...HARD. He'd told me...that no one had ever captured his heart the way I had, which is why he'd slept with so many...he slept with them to fill the void. He confessed he loved me, and I found that I loved him and so today we are married, still very much in love and have two of the sweetest daughters in the world. And if you are wondering where Paul was during the day Gene confessed to me and kissed me, Paul had missed practice...shocking I know, but he'd missed it because he'd had a bad case of the stomach flu and therefore avoided meeting Tommy.

"Babe! Where are you?", my husband shouts.

"In the bedroom my lovely Demon!", I shout back. Currently, I am fixing to take a shower and am stripping off my clothes. The kids, our daughters Erica and Helena are having a sleep over at a friend's house, so its just my husband & I.

"You wouldn't be trying to take a shower with out me, would you Eric?", Gene stands in the doorway with his arms crossed, smirk plastered on his face.

"No, my demon I wouldn't dare...", My tone sweet and low...it's what gets him every time. I shimmy out of my boxers and let them pool at my feet, now I am completely bare before his heated gaze. "If you want to join me, Gene...I suggest you lose the clothes." I turned to walk away when suddenly I find myself scooped up into his arms.

"Eric...naughty kitty...", and with that he kisses me and that famous and infamous tongue of his doing wicked, wicked things to me. I blink and now BOTH of us are naked and under the spray of the shower & then he takes me against the shower wall....and then again. Somehow, we do manage to get clean at some point....

Later, that night...

"Gene, so do you think Tommy now being apart of the band...well that it will get him & Paul together? Like together, together? I don't know how the hell that neither of them can see that they have feelings for one another.", I sigh as Gene's arms wrap around me and pull me closer to him.

"It will at some point I think...there will be no place that either of them can hide now. Then again, I don't know...don't know what it will take. I think Tommy believes somehow deep down that Ace will try & take Paul again...that he can't compete with their history even though Tommy knows good and well that shipped sailed and sank for good in 96'." Gene sighs.

"They're really a perfect match for one another.... if only they would see. You & I know better than anyone, how that goes my love.", Gene tilts my face up and we kiss slow & sweet.

Only time will tell, only time will tell if Paul & Tommy at long last quit dancing around the fact that they love each other...For I honestly believe that there will indeed come a day, that it will come to pass. I have that feeling...

A/N: Lol, I know I've been on a Journey kick song wise in my stories, but I believe they are a good fit....and Steve Perry's solo song is perfect for Paul & Tommy! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter & stay tuned! Much love!
