Christmas with Queen 2019

Advent Day 15

Mistletoe - Brian

Everyone in the room was cheering us on. And when I say everyone, I mean, EVERYONE. I ended up at Freddie's Christmas party but I don't really know how I ended up in this exact spot with Brian.

~Flashback~

"Y/n darling!" Freddie's voice bellowed through the studio. The band were currently recording One Vision and I was here to film them for the music video. I had done all of their music videos and had the immense pleasure of calling each member my best friends.

"I'm out here Fred!" I called from their lounge room

Freddie waltzed in, making a grand entrance as usual.

"I'm having a party" he said smugly

"Oh dear" I mumbled so only I could hear. Freddie's parties have only ever lead me to embarrass myself in front of hundreds of celebrities

"It's going to be a Christmas party. It's just an excuse for everyone to see my new decorations...and get completely drunk" Freddie clapped his hands as he spoke

"I can't wait Fred" I said joyously

"You have been invited my dear, it's going to be extraordinary" Freddie left the room as Brian came in. I saw them give each other a look, then a pat on the shoulder but I brushed it off.

"Hey Brian" I greeted him. I faced away from him as I was fiddling with the settings on my film camera.

"Hi. I see you've just been given an invite" Brian said

"Yeah" I raised an eyebrow

"Are you going?" Brian asked

"I'm not sure, partied aren't really my scene and you know what happened last time. The least said about that, the better" I said as I flung my film camera on to my shoulder

"I don't do partying either but I'll go if you go" Brian looked at me dead in the eye

"Fine. Can we just get back to work now?" I quizzed

"Sure" Brian grinned

About a week or so later, I arrived at the party. I walked into Freddie's house and immediately saw John.

"Hey John! How's it going?" I greeted him

"It's great! I think the others are dancing, I was just grabbing a drink" John embraced me

"Alright, I'll meet you on the dance floor"  I smiled

"You bet" he winked before going off to get a drink

I made my way to the dance floor and found the other lads. Freddie was the first to see me.

"My darlings! The Queen of Queen has arrived" he spun me around before wrapping me up in a tight cuddle

"Good evening Freddie, come on let's dance!" I shouted over the music

"Of course dear" Freddie beamed

I turned around to see Brian and Roger coming over to us. We immediately started dancing in our own circle and it wasn't long before John came back too. I had Brian and Roger on either side of me, then John was next to Roger, and Freddie was next to Brian. We were all dancing carelessly and I was having the time of my life.

In the corner of my eye I saw Brian get closer and closer to me. In my, now drunk state thanks to Freddie who was always getting people to come over with drinks, I just let him. We were dancing pretty close to each other. Brian then went off to get another drink and my contact with him was gone.

"Hey y/n" I heard Roger shout from next to me

"Yeah?" I shouted back

"I think you should know that Brian has a really big crush on you" Roger said and I stopped dancing in shock, "he doesn't stop talking about you. He was so worried that you wouldn't come to the party as well"

"Thanks Rog, thanks for telling me" I nodded before quickly getting back to my dancing just in time because Brian came back

I'll admit. Roger's words did shock me but everything now made sense. He came to see if I was going to the party. He's always following me around to see if he can be of any assistance. The quiet words he has with the boys whilst I'm around.

I had been dancing with Brian for a while now. I didn't realise that Freddie, John, and Roger had left the dance floor.

Suddenly the music stopped and our dancing stopped. Me and Brian were facing each other and looking around to see any clue of why the music stopped. When we looked, however, we saw everyone was gathered around watching us.

We then heard Freddie's voice on the microphone, "look up lovebirds"

~End of flashback~

So here I am. Stood with Brian in front of hundreds of people - most of which are strangers to me. Brian looked up, like Freddie instructed, and turned bright red when he looked back at me. I decided to look up too, what could possibly cause Brian to turn into a tomato?

There it was. Hanging from the middle of Freddie's ceiling. Mistletoe.

"It's tradition" Freddie teased over the microphone

Roger then began chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" And soon enough, everyone watching was chanting too

"I'm going to kill them all later" Brian muttered

"Just do it Brian, it's tradition" I grinned

"R-really?" Brian hiccuped

I nodded.

Brian placed two caring hands on either side of my face and leaned down to kiss me. As soon as he was low enough for me to reach, I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. Brian seemed to relax when he realised I was kissing him back, and passionately. The crowed erupted into cheers and applause.

"My god, finally" Freddie's voice on the mic spoke again

"Where is he?" Brian asked as we pulled apart

"Over there" I giggled

"Look, y/n. I love you oh so very much but I have a Mercury to sort out" he smirked

"I love you too Bri. Go get him" I winked

Brian gave me another peck on the lips before running into the crowd shouting, "get your leather clothed butt here Freddie Mercury!"
