One hell of a story (Queen fanfic)

Part 2

Flashback-

I sat anxiously, my back against the wall. I couldn't get my head around these new feelings I had. These new feelings I had for the flamboyant front man who was currently practicing for tonight's show. Every time he was near my heart would beat that little bit faster, my body would heat up and I would blush nonstop. It was as though he had me under some sort of spell, everything he said, every word he spoke I would listen too... I would laugh at his jokes and do anything he said, simply because I care for him... I love him.

I sat back and watched as he pranced across the stage, microphone in hand and singing his heart out. My eyes were glued to him as I watched him perform. I wouldn't get the opportunity to watch him tonight since I would be concentrated on playing the drums and that's something I was disappointed about.

As I watched the front man I realised that these feeling weren't just going to disappear. As each day goes past I see Freddie in a different way, who once used to be my best friend...the person I shared an apartment with and have worked with for years, is the person I have fallen in love with. But maybe in a way that's why I have fallen in love with him. Those cold nights in that lonely flat turned into the both of us cuddled together to keep each other warm. Sharing that flat and working together for those many years meant we got to know each other...see each other's true colours.

I never once imagined I would fall in love with the front man, but life has its surprises. I have never loved anyone as much as I love Freddie and inside that scares me. But I see why I do, I have seen every side that Freddie has and it doesn't make me feel any different about him...I still love him. I have seen the Freddie not many people have, the Freddie behind the scenes if you will...I have seen him at his most vulnerable...worried...angry...caring and it doesn't make me love him any less.

I find myself staring and admiring the flamboyant front man. I am oblivious to everything else happening around me, the only thing I am focused on is Freddie. But as I watch every move Freddie makes I begin to worry, he stops and turns to me...his eyes catching mine. I froze, not knowing what to do.

"Rog dear, are you okay?" he said being to approach me. Inside I was mentally arguing with myself. One part of me wanted to tell Freddie the truth...blurt out an I love you and get it over and done with, whilst another part of me was telling me it was a bad idea.

"I'm fine..." I sigh, my head lowering to look at my lap. My heart began beating faster and I could feel myself getting hotter.

"you don't seem okay...what's wrong?" he asked as he took a seat next to me, our legs touching.

"It's nothing..." I was now mumbling...I felt extremely embarrassed I had been caught staring.

"Rog, you can talk to me ya' know"

"I know...it's just...it's not easy to say, but I'll give it a go" I took a deep breath. The mental argument was now over and I had just enough courage to tell him the truth.

"I...umm...okay here goes, recently I have been having these strange feeling towards a guy...but I don't know how to tell him. Every time I am near him my heart speeds up, I get all hot and I seem to blush non-stop. But I have known this guy for a long time and we have been through soo much together. I'm scared that if I tell him the truth he will laugh then run away even after everything we have been through together."

"who is the guy?" I took a deep breath, my hands were shaking and I felt as though any moment I would burst out in tears.

"umm...okay...Freddie, the guy is you.... over the years our friendship has grown stronger and stronger. We have taken care of each other and always been there for one another. But as each day goes past its becoming harder and harder to ignore these feelings I have for you. I would never have thought I would fall in love with you, let alone love you as much as I do....and I truly mean that. You don't realise how hard it is to confess all of this too you....especially since it has been bottled up and kept a secret for so long. When we first met...I was depressed, I believed I wouldn't get anywhere in life and would crash and burn. But you encouraged me to carry on and try...you made me a better person and helped me recover from the sour person I was. Freddie there are no words to express how much I love you....but the next three words I feel as though I should say....

I love you" as each word was spoke I seemed to gain more confidence. I stared right into Freddie's eyes, trying to communicate through them and say that every word I had spoken is true.

I watched as a tear slid down Freddie's cheek and a wide smile spread across his face. I wiped the tear away with my thumb, not breaking eye contact. Before another word was said his lips were on mine, to perfect to describe. As the kiss deepened you could feel the electricity running through our bodies.

Soon I pulled away, taking a well needed breath and staring into Freddie eyes. His hands on my cheeks.

"I love you too Rog"

Flashback over-

I smiled remembering the day that started it all. The tears were now flowing down my face and I was no longer keeping it together. That memory was the first of many; it was also the one that started them all. It was the beginning of our story and as I said.....we have one hell of a story.
