Tea Boy (A Deacury Fic)

Chapter 14: None of Your Monkey Business

-Freddie's POV-

We finally arrived at the studio prepared to rehearse for our next local gig  on Saturday. John and I walked in ready as ever,  but as we walked down the hallways, we heard muffled angry noises coming from another room. It seemed like the other two are engaged into another argument. It's sad to me that they argue almost often, and I can't blame either of them, except maybe Roger just for having anger issues. "Oh geez.", I sighed. "What is it?", John asked. "Those two, they're at each other's throats again, it's ridiculous and kinda depressing.", I sadly replied. "I wonder why they argue so much.", he pondered. "Well, it's always a lover's quarrel between them...more like a lover's war to be completely honest with you, Deaky.", I explained, "And besides, whatever they're arguing over is none of our business, I mean yes we can help, but let's not get too involved in their situation."

John frowned at me. He seemed desperate to help them and I completely understand his kindness. "We shouldn't worry, love.", I said, sneakily holding his hand in comfort. Soon after we entered the other room with our setup together, the argument died down, because all that was left was cold, dead silence. We waited about fifteen minutes for them to come in, but it advanced to thirty minutes, then fourth five. Until, after an hour, they came inside, probably still fuming inside, bit calm on the outside. "We apologize for the delay.", Brian simply told me. "No worries, we were patient enough to get started, as long as the both of you are ready.", I replied smiling. I could tell that he was still upset, because he faked a smile at me, fake as ever I tell you.

"Why don't we start with one of the cover songs I listed.", I suggested trying to enlighten the mood. "Yeah sure, whatever you want to start with, Fred.", Roger complained twirling his drumsticks. "Look, we might've had...a rocky rough start to our day, but let's try to cheer up by rocking out today! How does that sound?", I said. I heard John utter an, "Okay." He knows that I don't want him to invade their privacy, and he seemed to understand it.

-After Rehearsal (Time Skip, Still Freddie's POV)

John and I were walking back to my apartment. I tried talking to him about how rehearsal went, however, he barely responded. I understand that he wants to help, but that's how pathetic drama starts. "John, I understand your concerns for those two, but don't worry about what's going on....", I spoke. No reply. "John, dear, don't worry about them. I'd rather stay out of it then get dramatic.", I said. Again, he didn't say a word. I sighed with worry for him. "I just wanted to help...", he suddenly uttered. "I understand dear, but leave it to them to work it out in their own. It's something all couples go through, so allow them to take their time.", I explained, he slightly frowned at me. "Cheer up, darling, just hope that we don't have any arguments like them.", I said to him. By then, we finally made it back to the building. Luckily, the receptionist was sleeping on the job so I snuck John up to my apartment with me. He sat on the couch pouting as soon as we entered. " C'mon love, don't worry yourself about them. Besides, I do have a little surprise for the both of us.", I elaborated. "Wh-what do you mean?", he asked looking up. I pecked his lips and told him that I'd be back.
