Never Knew,I Needed A Hero

Somewhere Back In Time

*1991*

       I sat in back waiting for the guys to finish an interview. I was actually kind of enjoying myself. They were quite entertaining. I chuckled a few times when they made jokes that went straight over the interviewer's head.

     "So Claire how did we do?" Kurt asked as he walked out with rest of the guys.

     "You killed it and confused the poor interviewer." I said laughing really hard by that point.

      "Thought you'd say that." Kurt said with crooked grin.

      "So what are we doing now?" I asked as we were leaving.

      "Don't know how about we go to the bar." Krist said with enthusiasm.

      "I don't really feel like getting drunk." I said.

     "Kurt why don't you go to the bar with Krist and I'll take her back." Dave said with a smile.

      "You sure?" Kurt asked looking at Dave.

       "Yeah it's not a problem go get drunk." Dave said with a smile. Krist grabbed Kurt's arm and drug him towards the bar.

      "So when we get back wanna watch a movie?" Dave asked.

      "Sure I'd like that." I said smiling a little.

      "Great maybe even have couple drinks ourselves but not get trashed." Dave stated.

       "We can do that, I just didn't wanna go to a bar and risk getting completely loaded." I said with a smile.

       When we got back to hotel we turned on some random movie and got a couple of glasses for some whiskey. I couldn't have been more content to do anything else other than sit there with him and drink and watch some random movie on a hotel television.

        "Claire can you promise me something?" Dave asked out of the blue breaking the silence.

        "Anything Dave, what is it?" I asked growing confused and worried.

        "Promise me, that no matter what life throws at us we'll still be friends." Dave said no completely looking at me.

        "I promise Dave, but can I ask what brought all of this on?" I said because I wanted to know why he'd randomly ask that.

        "I just feel like something is going to happen, it feels so far off yet so close and I just don't know what I'd do without my best friend." Dave said as he curled into my side.

       "Dave no matter what happens I will always be here for you." I said softly as I put an arm around him.

     We sat there once more in silence watching the movie and drinking our whiskey. The bottle of whiskey was gone after about three movies. Kurt and Krist showed up tanked. Dave and I told them they were on their own again because we weren't going to deal with it.

    Kurt and Krist were loud enough to wake the damn dead and Dave and I were just drunk enough that we could fall asleep with those two being bumbling idiots.

     Dave put his arm around me and sank into his hold. Kurt and Krist didn't care. It was normal that Dave and I cuddled when we had to share the same bed. It was kinda nice because he was always so warm. It was peaceful despite everything crazy and chaotic going on.
