Weird Trip In Cuba

A.N/ I had the idea for the story when I was in Cuba. Happy Easter by the way! Enjoy!

Characters: Tom Keifer, Eric Brittigham
Cuba, 1989
Tom and Eric were in Cuba since few days. They were on stop for their tour and their two other band member decided to go back in L.A. leaving Tom and Eric alone. They were having diner at a restaurant and Eric realized that Tom was watching him with a flirty look.
"Eum Tom you've been watching me with a weird look for a long time. Is there something wrong?" Asked Eric with an unsure voice. He wasn't sure of how Tom will react and what he will say to him.
"There nothing wrong my dear Eric. I was just staring at you." Tom wanted to add that it was because Eric looked so good but he kept it to himself not sure if it was a good thing to say. Eric nodded and their food arrived. Just at the good time, it started to be a little awkward, thought Eric. They both ate their meals in silence scared to say something wrong. When they were finished they walked to the bar of their hotel and drank few drinks. After their drink, Tom decided to go at the karaoke of the hotel but Eric wasn't sure about the idea.
"C'mon Eric it will be fun!" Said Tom elbowing him. Eric laughed a bit and accepted. They walked to another bar where the karaoke was and they saw a lot of people in the room. They sat at a table and ordered few drinks before the karaoke started. The singer and the bassist laughed and sang along with the people around them. After a while and more drinks, Tom proposed to Eric to go and sing a song together.
"Yes we should do that!!" Said Eric with a drunk voice. They got up from their seat and walked to go ask the barman to play the song they wanted.
"We want to play Nobody's Fool by Cinderella!" Yelled Tom. The barman who didn't recognize the member of Cinderella put the song and both men started to song with their drunk voice. As Tom sang, he looked at Eric and put his arm around Eric's neck. Eric was too concentrate in singing the song and staying up correctly that he didn't notice that Tom put his arms around his neck. Both men were applauded when they finished their song. They were really drunk and decided to go back at the room. The two members of Cinderella decided to walk close to the beach to go at their room, they couldn't walk correctly and Tom fell on Eric. Both of them fell of the sand and busted into laughter.
"I'm so hot Tom!" Yelled Eric rolling on his back.
"You have too much hair Eric that why you're hot!! Go and refresh yourself in the sea!" Yelled back Tom. They got undressed and jumped in the sea. They swam in the sea and Tom thought that Eric was so hot with only boxers on and wet hair. Everything was awesome, the boys were laughing and enjoying the moment but the fun stopped when they were interrupted by a security guard telling them that they were not allowed to be here. The guys walked out of the water and got dressed. The security guard walked away when he saw that Eric and Tom were going away from the sea. Tom and Eric walked back to their hotel room and when they arrived in front of the door, Tom pushed Eric who was trying to find the room key on the wall.
"What the fuck are you doing Tom?" Asked Eric surprised by what Tom just did.
"I want to kiss you so badly!" Replied Tom with a drunk voice. While Tom got closer and closer to Eric, Eric managed to open the door. When Eric opened the door, he fell on the floor with Tom on top of him. Eric was stressed of what would happen, he tried to push Tom away but he was too heavy. Eric tried to push the man away from him one last time but didn't succeed and the next thing he knew was that Tom's lips were pressed on his. At first Eric didn't know what to do and how to react, he was confused, he never kissed a man before. Tom stopped the kiss and rolled off Eric, he turned his head to face Eric and smiled at him.
Eric had no idea if Tom really meant what he just did or he was too drunk to even know what he was doing. Eric got up to sit on the floor and he touched his lips with his fingertips, he didn't know what to think of that kiss.
"I want to sleep with you Eric." Said Tom between few hiccups.
"No Tom! You don't know what you're doing and you probably don't even mean what you said." Said Eric getting up from the floor.
Eric took Tom by the arms and made him get up. He sat Tom on the bed and took off Tom's shirt.
"You want to fuck me Eric?" Asked Tom trying to take Eric's hands on his.
"No I don't want to Tom! I'm just undressing you to sleep!" Yelled Eric angrily. Tom looked down and fell on the bed before passing out. Eric sighed and finished to undressed Tom before putting him in bed. Eric walked in the bathroom to brush his teeth and after that he undressed himself to go to bed. He laid in the bed that was beside Tom's one and thought about all the things that Tom said to him earlier and the glances he gave him. No it can't be true, Tom doesn't love me. Maybe he thought that I was a girl, but he did say my name which made the situation pretty weird, he thought before falling asleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
Tom woke up with a huge headache, he stood up in the bed and groaned while rubbing his forehead. He got up from the bed and realized that he was only in his boxers. He looked around and saw that Eric wax in his underpants too. He took two aspirins and a glass of water before preparing two aspirins and water for Eric. He put them on the bedside table and wrote a note to Eric that said that he was out for breakfast. Tom walked out of the room and tried to remember what happened last night with him and Eric, he remembered the part where they were singing at the karaoke but after that he remembers nothing. Eric woke up few minutes later, he rolled over in bed and saw the water with the aspirins. He took them before getting up from bed. He took a quick shower and got dressed. Eric saw the note left by Tom and left the room. At the lobby, he saw Tom sat close to a table while drinking coffee. Eric smiled and walked close to the table. He put his hands on Tom's shoulders and he turned around to face the blonde guy.
"Hey Eric, how are you? Take a seat!" Said Tom with s smile on his face. The blonde bassist sat down beside Tom and ordered a coffee.
He didn't know if he should talk to the singer about what happened last night. Maybe he just don't remember anything and he could leave it dead.
"Eric what are you thinking about?" Asked Tom.
"Well I was wondering, last night you looked at me with a weird glance and you tried to kiss me." Said Eric and Tom's eyes grew wide. Tom couldn't believe that he did this, what will I say to Eric? Thought Tom.
"Eric, it's not easy to say, started Tom scratching the back of his head. I like you Eric but more than in a friendly way. I know this sound weird and everything but it's true." Said Tom. Eric couldn't believe it, Tom was in love with him, that couldn't be happening. He wasn't gay, he never really thought about loving a guy. Shocked by Tom's speech, he got up and ran back to his hotel room. Tom was screaming his lover's name by he was too concentrate into getting away from him to stop for him. In the room, Eric sat on the floor and Tom's speech was running in his mind. Can he be in love with Tom too? If he was, is he ready to face the paparazzi?
"Eric! Please listen to me!" Said Tom entering in the room. Eric didn't look at him when he heard Tom coming in the room. Tom walked close to him and sat beside him, he pulled some hair away from Eric's face and made him look at him gently.
Eric, please listen to me. I know all this sounds weird but I love you. I will understand you choice of you reject me but you needed to know how I felt." Said Tom with a small smile. Eric looked down and thought about it.
Maybe I can give it a try, but I'm not gay, thought Eric. He looked up at Tom and he was smiling a little.
"Oh Hell!" Whispered Eric before leaning closer to kiss him. Tom smiled when his lips touched Eric's one. When they pulled appart, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Maybe we can give it a try." Whispered Tom. Eric nodded and thought that after all this was a weird trip in Cuba in which he found love.
