I'll Follow You Through the Dark (Roger Taylor Fan Fic)

It's a Metaphor

I opened my eyes and sprawled out on my bed, realising that Roger was no longer with me. I rubbed the sleepies out of my eyes, and pushed the covers off of me. My pillows still had the scent of Roger's cologne on them. 

"I put my heart and soul into this song and you don't like it because you want your songs on the album instead," I heard Roger yelling in the kitchen. 

"Maybe the song isn't strong enough? If I'm on my own here then-" a voice that sounded like Brian could be heard.

"How does your song go then Brian? You call me sweet like I'm some kind of cheese, wow!" Roger rambled on.

Great. The boys are all in the flat again, arguing over song lyrics.

"Hand on your grease gun-" I heard one of the boys say but was quickly cut off by Roger again,

"IT'S A METAPHOR BRIAN!" 

 "No Rog, it's just what exactly are you doing with that car?" Deaky argued back.

I threw on my robe and trudged into the kitchen, throwing my hands on my hips, "Blimey! Can't you let a lady get a little bit of extra sleep around here?"

Next thing I knew, the sausage in the frying pan was being tossed by Roger in the kitchen at John and Brian sitting at the kitchen table. 

"ROGER! What in the bloody hell is going on in here?" My eyes slightly twitched, and I leaned up against the kitchen counter. 

"Y/N, our apologies. It's just that Roger's car song is... well. We don't want to put it on the album," Brian couldn't even look me in the eyes I was so angry. 

"So, you boys- actually, children is a better word for it.. Woke me up over a song for the album? And Roger, you're throwing perfectly good food to waste? Ridiculous. Well. If you'll excuse me, I have a busy day ahead of me. Ya know, School and work and all." I crossed my arms and stormed off. 

"Baby wait-" Roger followed me.

"No, not now Rog, I have to get ready," I scowled. 

Roger pushed me up against my bedroom wall, and planted a harsh but passionate kiss right on my lips. I couldn't help but melt.

"You- You're lucky I love you, you're lucky it worked this time," my face turned a bright pink, as I wiped my lips across my robe.

He smiled, knowing he had just won our little tiff, "'m sorry love, I'll clean the kitchen up, but I'm not apologizing to those arses out there."

"Fine. But if you'll excuse me, I really must get ready for the day. And where is Freddie? Isn't he the one that usually pulls you children apart when things go awry?"

"He's late as usual. But you at least have to eat something, I'll leave a plate for you," he said kissing my cheek. 

"Make it to go, Roger." I said, making my way into the bathroom. I made sure Roger was watching, as I dropped my robe and took my clothes off slowly.

"Tease." He mumbled under his breath when he turned to walk into the bathroom, but I quickly closed the door, giggling.

I had just bussed my last table, when a very handsome blonde and a tall curly headed fellow walked into the diner. I hid in the back, watching them look around aimlessly to find me. 

"Can we help you boys?" My friend Whitney smiled. She knew who they were, but played along with me.

"Uh- yeah, we are looking for Y/F/N, is she here?" Roger looked over the top of Whitney's head.

"Who? Oh- yeah, she left 10 minutes ago." Whitney said, trying not to laugh.

"What? She was supposed to be here till 6, where could she have gone?" Roger asked Brian, as if he was going to have an answer.

I crouched down behind the counter as they turned around to scan the diner some more, and then I ran and hugged Roger from behind, covering his eyes with my hands, "Guess who!"

"Y/N, you sneaky little minx, you." He turned around and picked me up, spinning me in a twirl.

"Minx? I'm in a work uniform, Rog." I giggled.

"And you look beautiful Darling," He leaned in, kissing me.

"I'm standing right here," Brian said as he tapped his foot. 

Roger placed me down gently, and took my hand as we headed for the door of the diner.

Brian dropped Rog and I off at my flat, "Rog, I'll be here at 10 to get you, better be ready or I'll leave your arse here."

"That's not the worst thing that could happen Bri." Roger said as he waved goodbye.

I rushed into the flat, and sat on my kitchen counter. 

"So, Rog. What do you want to do?" I leaned my head against the cabinet. 

"Dunno. Movie? You hungry?" He situated himself in between my legs, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"A little.. I think there is some left over spaghetti in the fridge-" 

"We could always go to your bedroom, love" he cut me off with a cheeky smile.

"Rog, I'm tired. I think I just wanna snuggle up and watch a movie. Sound good?" I rubbed my nose against his, like an eskimo kiss. 

"Okay darling, that's what we shall do then." 

He backed away and I leaped down off of the counter.

The movie had just ended, and I could tell Roger was getting tired. He's had a long busy few days in the studio. 

"Hey Roger, with this new album, are you going to do anymore pub gigs?" I asked.

"I think we are going to do a Uni tour. Also, if the record label likes the album, we will do a press tour in Japan." He trailed off.

"You sleepy, Mr. Taylor?" I poked his nose, making him smile.

"hm, yeah a bit. I can't stay though, Brian and I have to work on some things for the studio tomorrow." He sighed. 

"I understand, It'll be weird not sleeping next to you, since you've been here most nights," I frowned. 

I heard the car pull up to the curb and a honk a couple times outside. 

"Must be Bri," I sighed and hung my arms around Roger's neck, not wanting him to get up.

"Love you, Y/N. See you tomorrow at the studio?" He broke the hold I had on him, and stood up from the couch.

" 'm not really sure Rog, my boss asked me to pick up a shift at the diner tomorrow. Extra cash isn't a bad thing." I murmured, as I rested my head on the couch pillow.

"Aw come on love, I want to see you." He said displeased with my answer.

"I'll see what I can do, just sleep over tomorrow night. But you better get going, somebody is impatient" I said as Brian honked again, this time longer than the others. 

"Goodnight love," he leaned over and gave me a sweet kiss goodbye.

Well, this was not my best work, but hope you're enjoying the story so far.. I want to do a couple time jumps, just don't know when yet.
