Calmly↛Roger Taylor

♡stupid drummer♡

John sat on Aura's bed, playing simple bass chords as she sat on the floor, drawing him calmly with music playing in the background. It was later that same day and she had just finished her shift. John dropped by her place and decided to stay for the night. He looked up from his bass and saw her focused on her drawing. He sighed and her head shot up.

"What is it?" She mumbled, putting her pencils down. John laughed quietly and put his bass to the side.

"Brian talked to me today." He said and her eyes grew slightly wider.

"And uh. What did he say?" She asked, avoiding eye contact. John smiled and shook his head.

"Just that he fancies you." He said, totally not caring that his friend will be mad at him for telling her. She blushed and looked at the ground.

"Oh." She simply said. She thought about that night with Roger for a moment. He didn't care about her. He didn't like her. He just wanted sex and so did she. There was nothing bound to happen between those two, so why was she tempted to go out with Brian? She couldn't get to listen to John's question as the phone in her house started ringing. John smiled and her eyes widened as she picked herself up and ran to the kitchen. She bumped into a couple of chairs and slid across the floor, grabbing a hold of the phone.

"Hello?" She nearly panted. She heard the person on the other side and she smiled.

"Aura." She heard Brian mumble and could basically see the smile on his face.

"Dear, I have a question for you if you don't mind." He asked and she nodded. Soon rolled her eyes when she realized he couldn't see her. She responded with a yes. Her hands shook slightly and she noticed John walking into the kitchen.

"Are you busy tomorrow night?" She held her breath for a second and looked at John who just smiled simply at her.

"No why?" She said, playing dumb but obviously knowing what he was going to ask her.

"How about you and I have dinner?" He asked like it was no big deal. Her heart raced and she smiled.

"Sure!"

"Great! How about I pick you up at around seven?" He asked. She answered saying okay and he hung up the phone. She turned around and John was sitting at the bar stool next to her counter. She made her way to him and sat down. Immediately he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and brought her closer to him.

"Did I do the right thing?" She asked, putting her head on his shoulder. He sighed and looked down at her.

"I don't know. Were you planning on starting something with Roger?" He asked, knowing she didn't know that he knew. She rose from her position and gasped.

"How the hell did you know!?" She nearly yelled and he laughed lightly.

"Roger and you were both Gina after the show without telling us and let's just say that he talks a lot and I'm smart unlike you." He said with a huff and grabbing a fruit from the fruit bowl. She sighed and sat back down, putting her head back down on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I'm sorry about that." She said honestly and he looked at her.

"It's okay,love. Just pick one and I'll fully support you."he kissed the top of her head. She smiled and nodded.

"I love you, John. Don't forget that."

"I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out! I'm freaking out!" Aura yelled and Stella covered her ears and hissed while Freddie looked at himself in the mirror and observed his new jacket.

"Don't worry my darling! You could literally wear garbage and Brian would still be drooling over you." He said while adjusting his collar. He smiled proudly and turned around, observing Aura.

"I'm not freaking out about that. I just... i haven't been on a date in a year and I feel like shit." She said and sat down next to Stella who rubbed her arms in a comforting matter.

"Don't worry it's gonna go great! Just try and create a lot of conversations with him." Stella started and Freddie cut her off at the end.

"And drink lots of wine!" Aura laughed and got up, looking at the dress hanging on her door and smiled lightly.

"Women don't waste twenty minutes of our lives waiting for you to put on a dress and go change." Stella barked with a smile. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her dress, changing in the bathroom and adjusted her hair. She could hear Freddie and Stella laughing in the back and she sighed, looking in the mirror at her reflection.

Why are you doing this? She asked herself but couldn't answer as she heard the door bell ring. Her eyes widened and she ran downstairs, the other two following her closely behind. Her shaking hand grabbed the doorknob and opened it, revealing none other than Roger Taylor standing there with a smug smile. She turned white and swallowed hard. Roger looked at her up and down and raised a brow before inviting himself in.

"Aura you look absolutely ravishing." He whispered in her ear and she smacked his arm, making him laugh.

"Only joking, my dear." He said and walked away, leaving an angry Aura behind. He joined the other two and introduced himself to Stella while the other woman walked to her kitchen, grabbing herself a beer to calm down. Roger's eyes followed her and she tried to shrug it off but it kept bothering her. She sent him a glare while taking a swig of her drink and he smiled.

"Can I ask you why you decided to invite yourself over to my place and then start to eye fuck me?" She said and he looked slightly shocked. He went to answer but there was a knock on the door, making her turn her attention elsewhere. Freddie rushed to the door and opened it before she could and Brian walked in with the brightest smile on his face. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and she smiled timidly at him.

"You look beautiful." He said and she blushed. She ran a hand in her hair and looked at the ground.

"Thank you." She smiled and walked towards him, grabbing the bouquet he offered her. She handed them to Stella who quickly went to the kitchen to put them in water. Brian looked down at her and grabbed her hand.

"Shall we get going?" He asked and she nodded. He smiled once again and walked outside of the house with her and closed the door behind them.

While Freddie was ranting about how cute they were with Stella, Roger was looking at the ground with his eyebrows furrowed and with a frown stuck to his lips.
