Jim sighs as he warmed his hands around the mug of his hot cup of tea. A days work at the barbers had been completed. Tiddles, his grey cat climbs onto his lap and curls herself up into a ball.

"Did you miss me? I was at work all day, long days at this time of year. I missed your cuddles," Jim says, stroking the silky smooth fur on his cat. That's how it was for Jim most nights; finish work, come home, drink tea and talk to his cat with the TV on as background noise. He enjoyed the peace, he enjoyed the freedom. His cat purrs as she enjoys the massage given by Jim.

"I guess I have to bring you some friends soon," Jim suggests, somewhat expecting an answer from Tiddles. He sips the last of his now lukewarm tea and pats the seat as a signal to say he was going to bed. His cat meows and runs to her bed by the fire. Jim on the otherhand, climbs into his king size bed, not feeling lonely but only feeling grateful for finally breaking up with his boyfriend. With that, he fell softly asleep.

"Goodnight, Dear Brian," Freddie says, giving Brian a hug. They had just finished recording some songs for their next album. John and Roger had already left and Brian and Freddie carried on recording vocals and guitars.

"Goodnight, Fred. Early night?" Brian asks, running a hand through his hair like he usually does when he is ready for bed.

"Definitely, Bri, see you," Freddie replies, adjusting his cap. He lights a cigarette and walks to Garden Lodge; a five minute walk from the studio.

Freddie collapses on his messy bed after stripping and curls into a ball. He imagines what it would be like to have someone to warm him up in bed, someone to love and spoil with love and kisses. Someone to sleep with and feel safe. A tear fills his right eyelid as the thought made his heart warm. He just wanted a man who made him feel secure and loved; the basic needs in life. A furry companion, Delilah, carefully climbs into the bed and greets Freddie with a kiss.

"Delilah, you upset too? Let's cuddle and sleep," Freddie yawns, snuggling into her soft fur. He closes his eyes, still not letting the tear drop.

Meanwhile, Jim tossed and turned in his deep sleep, furrowing his eyebrows. His reoccurring nightmare; his lover beating him up. Beads of sweat forms on his creased forehead, something that a boyfriend should kiss to make it smooth.

"Jim, you're worthless, you mean nothing to me. You're the misfit, the unlovable. And I hate you," With those words circulating around Jim's head, he quickly sat up and took a deep breath. He holds his quilt close to his bare chest.

"All I want is to be happy," Jim whispers, as he proceeds to cry himself to sleep.
