Roger sighed as he sat down at the back of the bus.

"Good show." Brian said, also tired, as he came onto the bus, followed by the rest of the band.

Hyacinth rushed over to the seats at the back of the bus and sat next to Roger, taking his cig and throwing her leg over his.

He lit another cigarette, patted her thigh, and passed her w can of coke.

"I'm so tired." she groaned, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Well i would be too if i were jumping around as much as you and Freddie." He chuckled.

"Well, it was fun."

He hume's in response and played with the band of her thigh highs.

"These are cute."

"I know, right! I love them."

"You should wear them to more shows." He mumbled, and she looked up at him, though his gaze was fixed on her legs.

"Maybe i will."

He hummed again and nodded before looking back at her eyes.

"No random girls today?"

"Nah, we're straight back on the road, no time."

"Ah." She nodded and pursed her lips. "That's why, no time."

"Yeah." He mumbled, and pinched her thigh.

"Hey!" She hit him and got up.

"Where you going?"

"I'm gonna change, i wanna sleep."

"It's early!"

"It's like 1am?" she gestured out the window to the pitch black sky and he nodded, watching as she grabbed a tshirt and shorts from the floor, before making her way into the tiny bathroom on the bus to change.

When she came out she came back over to roger and lay over the seats with her head on his lap.

Soon enough she fell asleep with his hand playing with her hair, the other hand holding a cigarette, as always.

At that point Roger and Brian were the only two left awake on the bus.

"When is it gonna happen?" Brian sighed.

"What?"

"You and Cynth?"

"What about me and Cynth? We stopped fighting all the time, that's what everyone wanted."

"Are you joking?"

"What?" Roger laughed, pretending to have no idea what Brian was talking about.

"Just kiss her already." He sighed, and finally decided to go to sleep.

From then on until Roger finally fell asleep, he only thought about one thing.

Hyacinth.

That was pretty obvious, but she was the only thing on his mind.

He considered all his options, there weren't many: kiss Hyacinth, ask her out, or do nothing.

He decided that if the opportunity arose then he would do one of the first two options, but if not, then nothing.
