one shots / Slaxl

The Apartment

    The nights in LA are something different. The life starts for everyone when the night comes. Every street is full with teens and people, some of them are going to concerts, other to clubs, other to do smack, you name it.

  I usually go out too but now I don't have the energy for all the people so I'm just walking down the streets.

  The stars on the sky are so beautiful and the moon is fantastic like always. I look on the other side of the road and I see three young boys laughing. One of them is so tall I think he can touch the stars, the other one in the middle looks like a lion with all that hair and the last one is like their child, so cute and probably innocent. I look at them for another minute and then I hear

  " Where are you looking, princess?" I turn my back and I see Izzy with a cigarette in his hand

  " At people "

  " Come here, I have something to show you " said him taking my hand

  " Where the fuck are we going ?"

   " You will see "

  Finally when we stop walking I look in front of me and I don't know what I am supposed to see

  " What do I need to see?"

  " We finally have are own apartment, idiot "

  " Wait, what?" I said now smiling and freaking out a little
  " How did you get it? We don't have money"

   " Don't worry, I talked with three guys today and they said that we can share the apartment with them. They are playing instruments , we want a band, it's great"

   " So.. Am I supposed to sleep in the same apartment with three strangers? No, no, no this looks like a nightmare"

  " They won't do anything to you, they are nice guys, now let's go inside, I have a key"

  Izzy opens the door and I see a little living room full with posters and a bass, two guitars and some little drums, a couch in the middle and a little tv in front of the couch. I take my shoes off and I go to explore more. The kitchen was in the living room. I open a door and there I see a king size bed, a window, another guitar and drawings on the walls, this boy has talent. I go in other room and I see 2 beds and sex pistols posters everywhere, oh and some female posters. In the last room in a small bed with a big window from where you can see the city. I go back to Izzy after a few minutes

  " Looks great"

   " Told yea, now go and rest, you look like shit "

  I go in the room with the king sized bed and when I touch the bed I feel asleep like a baby. I'm so tired, I haven't been able to sleep in a while, Izzy said that I'm depressed but I don't think so.

" Hey, angel, wake up " said Izzy gently moving me . I open my eyes and it wasn't Izzy, it was that boy I saw when I was out. The boy with the big hair. I freak out a little and I stand up in a fucking second

" Did I scared you? I'm sorry I didn't wanted to, I talked with Izzy and he said that you were here, sleeping. I thought that maybe you would like to talk with us, we are in the living room."
  " Oh.. Yeah let's go"

  We go in the living room where were Izzy and those two blondes

  " Hi !" I said still sleepy
 
  " Hey ! I'm Steven and he is Duff " said excited one of the blondes

  " Axl " I said standing on the couch next to Izzy

  " So yeah we and Izzy talked about the band and the rent, we wanted to talk to you too" said Duff, I think

  " What do you wanna talk about?" I asked trying to keep my eyes open

  " What bands are you into?" said the boy with big hair

  " Queen, The rolling stones, Elton John"

  " Can you tell us something about you ?" asked Steven

  " I'm so fucking tired I don't even know my name. I haven't slept in four days, I'm hungry and I really wanna kill myself, now can I go back to sleep?"

   " You can go back in my room" said the guy with the curly hair

  " I'm sorry guys, I can tell you things about Axl if you want, he is really tired" I heard Izzy saying

   I go back in his room and I'm looking through the window

  " It's a beautiful city in the night, isn't it?"

  " Yeah.. It is" I said lighting a cigarette
  " Do you mind if I smoke?"

  " Go ahead , I smoke too"

  " What's your name?"

  " Saul but everyone calls me Slash"

  " Ok Saul " I said now smiling

  " So I was right when I called you an angel. Your skin in the light of the moon looks extraordinary"

  " Thanks dude, this is the nicest compliment I've had in a long time"

  " I wanna know something.. are you always this sarcastic, mad person or...?"

  " Call it character "

   After another minutes I look at Saul and I see him taking a guitar from the ground

  " Do you want to sing something with me?"

  " I-.. well if you want "

   " Love of my life, Queen, can you sing it?"

  " Let's see " I smiled again

  After we sang Saul looked at me and said

  " Wow Axl, you sing amazing"

  " I don't know, I can do better than this"

  " I'm sure you can, don't be so hard on yourself "

  " I hate myself so much and now I can't fall asleep again, fuck!"

  " Do you want me to help you?"

  " How can you help me? I have insomnia"

  " Well I don't want this to sound gay but I can hold you if you want "

  " That's gay and I don't even know you, what if you want to fuck me because I look like a girl ?"

  " Hmm.. You do look like a girl but I won't fuck you  "

  I throw myself in bed putting myself on one side of the bed. Slash got on the other side

  " You're sure you don't want me to hold you? "
 
" Yes I am  " I said closing my eyes

   After a while I started to feel cold so I got closer to him

" I'm not touching you "

  " Yeah I know" laughed him

  " I'm a man of word"

  " Sure, sure"

   " Don't laugh at me ". I said hitting him slowly with a pillow

  " Now look who is laughing "

  After a few seconds we stopped laughing and an awkward silence was between us

  " Can I hug you? I'm cold"

  " Come here big guy "

  " Good-night Saul !"

   " I hope you will sleep Axl, good night !"
