THE BANDS WITH ME // nikki sixx - mötley crüe

red and blue

DECEMBER 2nd, 1981

I woke up to the busy sounds of the sunset strip. I opened my eyes to see my melted slushy sat in the cup that remained in my hands, I looked over to see Nikkis spilt on the ground.

I noticed my head was on his shoulder, meaning we had definitely fallen asleep on this bench. I didn't know what time it was.

I sat up and lightly shook Nikki. "Nikki." I said which caused him to swat at me, "What?" He grumbled.

"We fell asleep." I yawned as I stood up and stretched. He opened his eyes to see the busy street. "Hm, I guess we did." He responded as he stood up as well. I picked up both of our cups and through them into the nearby garbage can and made my return to him.

"What time is it?" He asked, I just shrugged my shoulders. "Well, it's still bright out. Let's just stop into a shop and look at the clock." I agreed.

We went into a nearby drugstore and looked at the clock that read 1:45pm. "I was expecting it to be like 4pm." He chuckled. "Yeah, same." I responded as we walked out.

We started making the small walk back to the apartment. "Vince and Tommy are 100% still asleep, do you wanna dye my hair?" I asked, remembering the hair dye. "You're gonna let me now?" He laughed.

"Do you want to or not? I could change my answer quickly." I scolded, to which he put his hands up in defense and nodded yes.

We made our way to the apartment stairs that were now Lita-less and got to our door. We didn't hear Vince and Tommy so they were still asleep.

We walked in and placed the hair dye on the counter, trying to decide how we are going to do this with the least amount of mess possible.

"We could just do it at Heidi's." I shrugged, "I've been wanting to visit her more often than laundry Sunday's so maybe she will let us use her tub."

"More walking?" He groaned as if it was mandatory. "Well- we don't have to, don't groan like it." I chuckled, to which he straightened his shoulders back up.

"If we go you gotta give me a piggyback there." He smiled, "Hell no." I joked back, slightly shoving his shoulder as he laughed.

Once we calmed down, "Here or there?" I asked him. "And risk waking the bears? Let's pay Heidi a visit." He scoffed and grabbed the hair dye, walking towards the door.

We eventually got to Heidi's apartment and opened the door with the spare key hidden under the mat (dumbass).

"Hello?" I heard a man's voice call out. It was Mark, Heidi's boyfriend. "It's
Y/N, is Heidi home?" I asked.

They both emerged from the room and greeted us. "What's up?" Heidi asked as she hugged me. "Ah, just looking to dye my hair." I smiled. She quickly pulled back from the hug and gave me a stare of disapproval. "Just streaks, not my entire head." I winced, hoping her expression would lighten, but it remained the same.

"In my apartment?" She asked, to which I gave a hopeful nod. "Even when your not here, you are." She jokingly sighed as she shoved me the way towards the bathroom. "Nikki, come on!" I told him. He started to follow before Mark stopped him.

"Who are you?" Mark questioned Nikki as if he was my dad. "Uh...Nikki? We've met before I believe..." Nikki nervously responded.

Mark stared at him before laughing and smiling, "I'm just joking around, kid. How could I forget my niece's boyfriend?"

I slightly rolled my eyes knowing that Mark had good intentions, and that he probably will end up being my Uncle, but I cannot stand how happy-go-lucky he is at points about literally anything, nothing can break his stride.

"Come on, let's just go to the bathroom." I sighed and continued walking. As me and Nikki got in there and shut the door Nikki smiled at me.

"...What?" I looked around, looking for what he was smiling at. "Why didn't you tell Mark that I'm not your boyfriend?" He smirked.

I got pale in the face a noticed that I did do that, so I had to make up my second excuse of the day. "Well...I was more focused on the fact that he called me his niece." I smirked back.

He slowly let his drop and he took a box of hair dye out of my hands and looked at the back. "Blue or red first?" He questioned, "does it really matter?" I responded. "I guess not." He shrugged and dropped the red one of the floor.

"I'm covered in dye Nikki!" I gasped looking at my blue and red face in the mirror. He came up and looked from behind me and started cracking up.

"It's not funny!" I choked as I tried to hold back my laughter to prove I was mad. "Really? because I think you make a hot Papa Smurf." He joked as he laughed even harder at his own joke.

I smacked him upside his head and quickly rubbed my head on his white shirt. "Ah! Y/N! Stop, this isn't going to come out!" He gasped.

"Oh well!" I laughed as I took the bowl, scooped some dye up with my hands and flung it at him. "Y/N!" He squealed as he took the red bowl and started flinging it at me.

This started and dye war and by the end I had what felt like a broken toe and he had fallen on his ass twice. Let's not forget that Heidi's bathroom was a mix of red, blue and purple.

"Truce!" Nikki begged from the floor as I held the bowl over his head, slowly tipping it and threatening to color his hair blue. 

"Truce?" I stopped my motion, not wanting to risk dying my entire head red. "Yes! Yes! Put the bowl down!" He pleaded as he dropped his bowl on the ground. I smiled and dropped mine as well.

"Finally." He exhaled and got up to his feet. "I need to rinse this out." I chuckled and shoved him toward the door to leave.

"Why am I leaving?" He whined. "Because I'm about to shower, out!" I commanded as he walked out of the room. I soon heard Heidi's shriek of terror when she saw Nikki covered in the dye.

She came banging on the door. "Y/N L/N! Show me what my bathroom looks like right now!" She angrily expressed.

I shyly opened the door to reveal the blue and red painted bathroom as Heidi's mouth dropped open. "Y/N! NIKKI! YOU TWO WILL CLEAN THIS UP IMMEDIATELY!" She gasped.

"Yes, Mom." Nikki sighed as he walked back into the bathroom.

"Can I shower first?" I winced.
