Def Leppard Short Stories.

Rick Savage: Same Old Lang Syne

Hi! Wow first short story! I'm planning on writing more for different people in rock cause well. I love them. My stories will also be posted to my tumblr @rockandrollandshit. Anyway I'm not much of a writer but there's not a lot of Def Leppard fan fics or even fans on the internet. So for the small fandom we have out there, this is for you! Hope you like it and please feel free to give me kind criticism! I would love to improve my writing!

"Fuck it's cold" Joe breathed out.

"Quit whining ya baby!" Phil teased

"We just need to grab a few things for when we get back on tour." Rick said. "It'll only take a few minutes."

"I'm gonna hold ya to that one." Joe replied rubbing his frozen hands together.

Sav pulled his jacket tighter to himself as a big gust of cold air blew past them. He was exhausted from the tour and was looking forward to catching up on sleep during the break but unfortunately a knock on his door at 10:00 at night told him that would have to wait. The boys of Def Leppard walked towards an old grocery store somewhere in downtown London. On a cold, yet beautiful snowy Christmas eve night. They were in the middle of their Hysteria World Tour but were on a short break for the holidays. Once the boys made it to the store entrance they sighed in relief when they felt the warmth of the store heat as they entered the sliding doors.

"What do we need Rick?" Steve asked.

"Hold on." Rick reached into his back pocket and pulled out a folded sheet of paper. "I have a list."

Groans were passed around the group. "I thought you said this would be quick!" Joe replied.

"It will, if you quit complaining and start looking!" Rick patted Joe on the shoulder. "Let's split up. Phil and Steve, you guys take this half, Sav, Joe, and I will take the other."

"Sounds good to me!" Phil throws his arm over Steve's shoulder. "Let's go Steve boy!" Steve smiles as he throws his arm over his friends shoulder as well as they both walked over to the other side of the store.

"Alright let's get this over with, shall we?" Joe groaned. He wasn't a huge fan of shopping.

Sav silently followed Joe and Rick to grab some tour necessities. As Rick was studying an isle of shampoo's trying to decide which one he wanted. Joe took notice at how quiet his friend was being.

"You alright Sav?" Joe woke his blonde haired mate out of his thoughts.

"Hm? Oh yeah, yeah I'm alright. Just a bit exhausted from touring." Sav replied. "I'm fine really."

The boys continued past the frozen foods when Sav noticed a girl with beautiful y/h/c. Just like hers. When she turned around to put some frozen chicken in the cart he stoped and took a double take. He was shocked at who he was looking at. He hadn't seen her in about 7 years.

"You... you guys carry on. I-I'll catch up with you." Sav said to his two band mates not even removing his gaze from the girl digging in the freezer of the frozen food isle. Puzzled, the boys agreed and continued on while Sav walked closer to the girl.

Y/n was Sav's old lover. They were close friends and grew up together back in Sheffield. They met each other when they were about 4-5 on their kiddie football team and had been best friends since. As they went through high school feelings started to change and y/n and Sav became more than friends. The two were serious for about three years up until Sav left for his first tour with the guys. The break up was painful for the both of them. Words were said out of pain and weren't meant. On top of that, it was always harder when it was your best friend.
