The band was traveling home on their private plane after the Japan tour and they were all clearly exhausted. Roger, Brian, Freddie and John all had their own area on the plane and were all doing their own thing.
John sat in his seat and took out the latest newspaper and started to read before slowing falling asleep, newspaper falling to the floor. Freddie was drinking some beer out of a small plastic cup and staring out of the small plane window. Brian had taken out his astronomy books and had been reading through them for most of the journey so far. But Roger couldn't relax. He hadn't been able to relax the whole tour really. There was this feeling inside of him whenever he was around Brian but he couldn't quite work out what it was. Whenever Brian would talk, play the guitar, turn the page of a book or newspaper. It was as if a spark would go off inside of Roger leaving him with a sensation he had never experienced before.
Roger looked towards Brian's area on the plane, contemplating whether he should go over there to try and work out what this feeling he was experiencing was. As he looked at Brian for longer and longer he began to worry that he might notice he was staring but he carried on anyway. Then after a good 15 minutes of Roger just watching Brian, something clicked. Roger didn't just think of Brian as his best friend anymore. He realised he'd fallen for him.
"Fuck" Roger thought to himself.
"I can't be in love with my best friend! It would never end well."
For a while Roger was just left with his thoughts until he finally managed to go up and sit by Brian. But, what he didn't know is that Brian had actually began to feel the same way about Roger. Ever since Roger did that amazing drum solo at the end of their last concert in Japan, Brian hadn't been able to get Roger out of his mind. Not a day went by where Brian didn't think about him. He wanted to tell him how he felt so badly but he couldn't. They were best friends for goodness sake.
"It would never work" he thought to himself.
As Roger started to approach Brian, he couldn't help but smile. He sat down next to the tall man waiting for him to finish the part he was reading.
"Hey Rog!" said Brian cheerfully.
"Hi Bri!" Roger replied quite nervously which Brian picked up on but decided to ignore.
The two men started having a normal conversation but when Brian was speaking, Roger couldn't help but look at his gorgeous hazel coloured eyes. They truly were breathtaking. As Roger was speaking Brian couldn't help but look at his soft lips thinking about the many times he's wanted to kiss him. Suddenly, they both stopped talking and just looked at each other. Then, Roger's hand slowly but surely began to make its way to Brian's knee. Brian gasped quietly but didn't make the effort to move it. Instead he took the hand that was placed on his knee and intertwined his fingers with Roger's. They looked at each other once again staring into one another's beautiful eyes. Roger leant forward and placed his lips onto Brian's softly kissing him before quickly pulling away.
"Uh, i-i'm sorry Bri, i didn't know what came over me" Roger stated.
But Brian said nothing. What he did do was smile and then leant forward to reach Roger pressing his lips against the younger mans. The kiss slowly becoming more passionate. Their linked hands parted and made their way onto the others neck and back. Brian then backed away slowly before grabbing Rogers hand and placing him onto his lap. Roger responded to this with a huge smile and wrapped his legs round Brian. They began to kiss again but they remembered Freddie and John were still on the plane. Their lips unwilling parted and Roger buried his head into Brian's soft curls. He then got up of Brian's lap and sat on the seat next to him yet again, hands joining like before.
"Ive been wanting to do that for weeks " Brian whispered, loud enough for Roger to hear.
"Me too Bri" Roger replied.
Roger then rested his head on Brian's shoulder, still holding hands, and Roger slowly began to drift off to sleep. Brian rested his head atop of Rogers and softly kissed his temple before closing his eyes also.
