Axel Chains and Benatar Cale were the happiest martians on the tour bus together (never mind that there was only four of them total) They completed each other, and they could tell with every passing glance, every kiss, every time they touched. It was just so.... Obvious. To them at least, and the other two unfortunate martians who lived with them who were forced to bear witness to all of this gay shit twenty-four seven.
"Oh my god! Make it stop!" Puff shouted in disgust and despair when he came into the kitchen and saw the two of them making out against the fridge. They ignored him. Deejay came into the kitchen and just gave them a look.
"Can you guys at least move so I can get some food?" He asked, but he was also ignored, sighing he fished through the cupboards and settled for a box cheez-it's.
Puff went over to the sink and washed his eyes. With liquid dish soap. He dried his eyes with a towel and announced "Okay for those of you who are actually listening," he glared at the couple "YFM is going out of town for a big bash thrown in our honor!"
Benatar finally pulled away for air when he asked "What do you mean?"
"You see, my hometown finally see's how amazing and sexy I - I mean YFM - is, and the mayor is throwing this huge party in our honor! It's a fancy one too, black tie and champagne kind of fancy." Puff enthusiastically explained.
"When are... we leaving?" Axel asked nervously, his due date was on Sunday.... It was Thursday right now. "Because like, your hometown is pretty far away."
"We're leaving tomorrow, we'll be back on Monday." Puff explained, still proud and enthusiastic "We won't be taking the bus though, we'll be taking a super-special and awesome LIMO that the mayor sent for us." If pride could physically manifest itself, it would probably be oozing from every individual pore on Puff's body.
Axel mentally sighed in relief. "I can't go." He said.
"What? Why not, this is a proper do." Benatar questioned. Of course he still didn't know about the tiny truth that Axel was literally carrying inside.
"That bug I shook off two weeks ago, I think it came back, I'm really not feeling up to it." Axel made up an excuse.
Puff frowned "Whatever, if you don't want to bask in the awesome like the rest of us because you want to curl up in a ball and wallow in misery, that's your choice."
The next night Puff, Deejay and Benatar were loading into the special limo, each having a small bag where they were keeping their tuxedos. Benatar returned to Axel who was lying on his side on the bed, and gave him a peck on the cheek. "A whole weekend to yourself? Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" Benatar asked.
"Dude just go, I don't want to get you sick anyways." Axel waved him off grumpily. "Have fun."
"I won't be having much of an ace time without you there but I'll try." Benatar said, giving Axel a kiss before leaving.
Unknowingly leaving Axel alone to bear their child.
On Saturday Axel calmed his nerves by drinking tea and halfheartedly playing his drums, but he could feel inside that the baby was sliding lower, getting ready to be born the very next day.
He wondered if it would look like him or Benatar, would it be a girl or a boy? Would it be a good musician too? Would Benatar like it?
Benatar....
Maybe he should have told him, maybe he would even help Axel... Axel was just so chickenshit, afraid that Benatar would freak the fuck out and leave him (because face it, finding out you impregnated your boyfriend before you were together, in a pregnancy that only lasted a little over three weeks, is too weird even on YFM standards).
