My Fairy King

I'm Busting You Out of Here

September 5th 1971
*Freddie's POV"

I am getting old...I'm the oldest in the band and much older than Cadence...damn. I walked back to my flat to change into some different clothes. "Happy Birthday Fred...did you get laid last night?" Oh shit now he's not going to leave me alone because I didn't come home.  "No...the date went terribly." I tried to just walk to my room so there wouldn't be anymore questions.

"Then where were you?" I swear to god can the mosquito just shut the fuck up and mind his business.  "I snuck into Cadences house through the window...nothing inappropriate happened." I heard him start to say something but I had already shut my door.  I got dressed to go see my parents and sister.  Later on tonight I was going to the bar with my friends.

I let my hair be curly and I didn't do any makeup because my parents were-let's just say they didn't approve of it.  My mum used to make me come in the back after shows when I still lived there.  I got on a pair of jeans a black shirt and jacket.  I went to my parents house I missed my sister Kashmira I wondered how she was doing.

I knocked on the door once I got there and my mum answered it "Hello son! How are you?" I smiled oh I love my mum but I'm also terrified of her!  She once threw a shoe at me for cursing!  "I'm good mum how are all of you?" I stepped in and she gave me a little hug.  "Oh we're quite well Furrokh." I bit my tongue I didn't go by that name anymore but I hadn't yet gotten it legally changed.

My mum and sister made an effort to call be Freddie but still slipped up which I was okay with since they at least tried.  But my papa didn't care and continued to call me Furrokh no matter what.  I said hello to everyone and wow I couldn't believe how big Kash had gotten!  She was already 19 which was slightly strange considering Cadence was 3 years younger. 

It smelled absolutely amazing and just as I thought my mum had cooked all my favorite foods.  Ohh I was very excited and I sat down with my family.  Originally the boys were coming too but then we had the bar plans and all that.  We ate and talked I found out that my sister had gotten a boyfriend.  All my protective older brother instincts came out and I asked a bunch of questions about him.

"Speaking of relationships have you met anyone?" My fathers stern voice asked.  "Well I'm talking to a girl and planning on asking her on a date papa." I smiled slightly thinking about Cadence.  "Good because you need to settle down and give us grandchildren soon son." I sighed rubbing my temples.  I fucking knew that was coming.

Both of my parents expected me to be married with kids at this age like they were.  We had lunch and my mum and sister had made me a cake.  No matter how unbearable they could be sometimes especially my papa I loved them.  He's said the most horrendous things to me over the years but I know he loves me-at least I hope he does.

I stayed for a while because we were having a conversation.  Sometimes we would speak in Parsi my parents knew both languages and up until I went to boarding school and learned English I only spoke Parsi.  Kash didn't know it as well but could still have a conversation.

Afterwards on my way back I stopped to see a few other people who asked me to come over.  By the time I was done running around I had arm full of presents that I had to drop off at my flat.  The only present I'd opened was one from Cadence and it shocked me because the first time we got tea I complained about not having sunglasses.  She'd gotten me aviators with a silver rim they looked expensive.

Then I got an idea one that could go over very badly or very good.  I told Roger I'd meet him at the bar and went back out for the millionth time that day.  I fiddled with all the rings on my fingers and walked to Cadences house.  I saw there were no cars so I decided to just knock on the door.  After a moment someone opened the door and I felt like I got a heart attack because it was her brother.

"Why are you back here?" He seemed a lot more calm and wait what?  "How did you know I was here?" I got nervous again.  "I walked in to wake up Cadence and saw you...she explained everything." I sighed in relief and nodded.  "Well it's my Birthday and I wanted to take her to uh...dinner." IM A TERRIBLE FUCKING LIAR.

"Alright where are you actually taking her?" Her brother seemed to be my age and could see right through everything.  "A bar" I cringed slightly preparing to get hit or something.  "You know...if there wasn't the whole thing with her vision I'd beat your ass...but she needs to get out of this damn house." I sighed and promised that I'd keep her safe especially with her ankle.

I could tell that her brother had a similar opinion on her parents at the moment as I did.  "Just have her back before 7 am." I still could see the protectiveness in him but he was trying.  "Can I go get her?" I got all happy and he nodded.  I went inside and after some searching found her room.

The door was open and she was sitting on her bed  and it seemed like she wasn't really doing anything.  She jumped and I laughed a bit.  "Freddie why are you back?" She put her hand on her chest still seeming a bit scared.  "Because were going out with some of my friends kitten!" That seemed to get her all excited as well.
