Ch. 13: Go For It

Brian's P.O.V.

It's been five years since I fell for the most unexpected person of all: Roger Taylor, my best friend.

How does that sound?

I know, it sounds odd, and maybe, normal.

But what can I do?

Roger is the only man I've fell for, ever. He is the only one who makes me feel save and sound, and special. I really want to tell him that I love him, but I'm afraid he'll never accept me, or hate me, or break our friendship.

I feel scared.

No! I just can't keep silent just like that! I need to tell him! Now! Maybe he likes me! I don't know!

Then, I had an idea.

Dinner night.

Not really a date, just dinner, going somewhere to eat, nothing fancy. Of course, during the conversation I might have to mention it, in a way or the other. But how do I invite him?

Meanwhile in John's apartment...

John's P.O.V.

Today was a cloudy day. The sun hasn't shown itself all day long and the wind was forceful. We still had to record our songs, but since we were done with the album, we finished earlier today.

As I was reading a book in bed, I heard a slight knock on the door. I got up from the sofa and opened the door, revealing Roger.

"Oh hi Rog. What brings you here?"

Roger's P.O.V.

"Oh hi Rog. What brings you here?" John was standing in the doorway, leaning against it.

"Hi deaks," I said, "Can I come in, I need to tell you something."

"Sure, come in! Make yourself at home." I entered the small apartment and sat down in the couch. Deaks then came back with some biscuits in a bowl and set them on the small counter in the centre of the room.

"Thanks Deaks," I thanked him, taking a biscuit. They tasted like honey and were so good, and sticky.

"So what is it that you want to tell me Rog?" he asked.

"Well...here is the thing, Iaminlovewithbrianfuckingmaysofuckingmuchandidon'tknowhowtotellhim!" I said it so fast that John just looked at me with a puzzled face, not understanding a shit about what I said.

"Say that again?"

I took a big breath and tried to control my blushing from just mentioning Brian's name. "I said, I am in love with Brian fucking May so, SO much, and I don't know how to tell him." John's eyes looked like they were going to pop anytime and he almost chocked on his biscuit.

"WHAT?! OH MY GOD ROGER THAT IS WONDERFUL!"

"Really?...I thought you weren't going to accept it."

"Don't be ridiculous Rog! That's wonderful! I can help you!" I still had no clue why Deaky was so kind, so pure. He was such an amazing friend. I don't know what would I do without him.

"Thanks John. Anyway..." I began telling him about how I started liking Brian. He just listened quietly and payed close attention to what I was saying. In between lines, I would blush a little bit.

John's P.O.V.

Roger began telling me the entire story on how he started to like Brian. It was such an interesting and cute story. After he was done, he looked red as a cherry, which was hilarious.

Little did Roger know that Brian told me the same thing about him.

Of course, I couldn't say anything, or make it obvious. But now that I knew, I wanted to blurt out Brian loves him, but that wouldn't work. It could mess things up, so I tried to stay calm and tried not to fangirl.

"I really want to invite Brian to a dinner, and tell him my feelings for him," he said, "But I'm scared Deaky! What should I do?"

"I'd say go for it!" I exclaimed. Ok John, don't make it obvious. It's Bri's secret, I can't screw it up.

"Why?"

"It'll be fine Rog. Even if he hurts you, I'll help you."

"What would I do without you John! Thank you so much! But when should I invite him?"

"Today. Go to a restaurant or something. I'm sure it'll be fine."

"Ok, I will Deaks!" he exclaimed, "I need to go now, I can't miss this chance! Bye!" he left met apartment and rushed quickly downstairs.
