Here Today (Teric)

~ANOTHER SAD ONE I'M SORRY~

~Tom Keifer POV~

"You ready Tom?" The guy asked as I gave a thumbs up, I'm recording a song today because I heard the news of Jeff passing, it's a cover song but it's going on my album. "1...2....3...4.." The guy counted in as I started to play. 

"And if I said I really knew you well
What would your answer be?
If you were here today
Ooh, here today

Well, knowing you, you'd probably laugh 
And say that we were worlds apart
If you were here today, ooh
Here today

But as for me
I still remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more
(Ooh, I love you, ooh)"

Marilyn sang backup and sang that specific part because he was truly in love with Jeff and is heartbroken about his passing, they were still married and living together. He blames himself.

"What about the time we met? (What about the time we met?)
Well, I suppose that you could say that we were playing hard to get
Didn't understand a thing
But we could always play~

What about the night we cried? (What about the night we cried)
Because there wasn't any reason left to keep it all inside?
Never understood a word
But you were always there with a smile" 

I sang looking at Marilyn as he nodded, knowing he was singing the last part.

"And if I say I really loved you
And was glad you came along
Then you were here today, oooh
For you were in our song, oooh

Here today"

We sang the last 3 lines together as we gave the producer a thumbs up as he stopped the recording. I noticed he shed a tear, "That was beautiful guys. I really think Jeff would've loved it." He said as I smiled. "I think so too" I said taking off the headphones and my guitar as some guy walked in. I barely recognized it was Eric, beard, black hair, short hair.

"Excuse me" I said pushing past as he grabbed my arm as I looked confused. "Who are you?" I said as he looked hurt. "Tom- it's me- Eric?" He said as I shook my head. "Sorry you're not Eric." I said scooting past him and left. "Who was that?" Marilyn asked as I shrugged. "Ready to get Fred and head to the river?" I said as he nodded, sighing. "Yeah it's time" He said as I nodded.

Jeff's final wish was to be cremated and dumped into the river we always went to as a band to get away from everything and write songs together. 

~Once at the river~

"Thanks Jim!" I said waving to the ranger, the park had agreed to let us do this because no one is allowed to go swimming in it anymore. "Anyone want to say some last words?" I asked looking at them. "I think I'm good, Tom. It's time" Marilyn said putting a hand on my shoulder as I sighed. "I wish Eric was here" I said as they frowned. "He's moved on, Tom" Fred said as I sighed. 

"Rest well Jeff" I said as we dumped his ashes into the water together as I sighed. 

~6 months later~

"Ugh~" I said getting up from the piano as Tuna was following me, she's my cat. I looked through the peephole as I gasped, Eric! I flung the door open as I smiled. "Eric! It's you! It's really you!" I said throwing my arms around him as he smiled and immediately hugged back. "I thought you moved on..." I said as he shook his head.

"I tried to talk to you at the studio but you refused to believe it was me. I guess it was the black hair, I've since redyed it and shaved my beard. And got rid of that god awful piercing" He said as my jaw dropped. "That was you!" I said as he nodded. "Come in" I said as he did so. "Eric- God I've missed you-" I said throwing my arms around him as he sighed. 

"I have too Tom" He said pulling me in for a kiss as I immediately kissed back, wanting more of him. "Take me back to the time we met~" I sang as he chuckled and carried me to the bedroom as I blushed. I threw off my clothes as I immediately got onto all fours, "Mmm~ still beautiful as ever~" He said slapping my ass as I gasped. 

"I've been waiting for you~" I said looking back as he blushed and threw his clothes off, immediately slamming into me as I screamed, "ERIC! Ahh! God yes yes yes!" "Fuck Tom~" He growled as I gasped. "Fuck! So good! SO good! AHHH SHIT!" I moaned loudly as he growled, leaning his head in the crook of my neck as I gasped, entangling my fingers in his hair. 

"ERIC!" I screamed as I came all over the sheets as he gasped, coming deep inside me as I screamed. "Fuck~ Eric~" I said as he slowly pulled out and pulled me to his chest. "I love you..." He said as I smiled. "I love you too~"
