Traded In His Misery {Brusnop Remake}

To The Stage

Ben's POV

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Its been a pleasure to play for you all, bur that's all the time we have so goodnight." Danny finished and we walked off the stage. We all stood and cheered for ourselves before going to the tour bus. Danny sat next to me with a beer in his hand and smiled.

" Hello, Ben." He looked cheery as he sipped the beer.

"Hello." I smiled back. 

" I don't know about you, but I think we played a fucking amazing show." He mused.

"One of our best." Cameron cheered. I leaned my head on Sam and looked up at him.

"What did you think about it?" I asked. He yawned in reply.

" I'm tired now." He laughed.

"Just think though... We just finished our fifth tour, and our third album." James smiled at us all looking amazed.

"I think we're getting old." I stated. Danny laughed at me.

"We're not old." He said. "We have many years to go."

"And I can't fucking wait to see them." I stood up and walked to the kitchen and came back with a beer. I sat next to Danny again and sighed happily.

"I'm gonna go to bed." James stated and stood up.

"Hey, James. Remember when you hated me?" I looked at him. He laughed.

"Some things never change." He teased and walked off. I laughed at him. A while later, everyone had gone to bed, and I was laying in my bunk thinking.

Dammit, Danny, why do you still have to be so damn cute.

Dammit, Ben, why don't you just tell him how you feel?

Yeah, that would work. 'Hey, Danny. I think you're fucking sexy. Please fuck me.' That would work so well...

Why is this so hard?!

"Fuck my life." Someone grumbled.

"...Sam?" I asked.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I need some advice. But like... out of the bunk room." I told him.

"Okay. Go to the front room. I'll be there in a minute." He mumbled. I crawled from my bunk and walked to the front room and sat down. He walked in a few moment later. "What's on your mind?"

"I have an issue..." I told him.

"Does it involve a hairy ginger?" He smirked. I sighed.

"...Maybe." I looked down.

"Ben, the only person who doesn't see the way you look at him, is him. And the only reason he doesn't notice is because he is looking at you." He stated like it was the most obvious thing ever. "And that's why you don't notice him looking at you either."

"...Oh." I looked at him. He laughed.

"Is that all?" He asked. I thought for a moment.

"How do I talk to him?"

Danny's POV

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"How do I talk to him?" I kept listening to them talk.

"I don't know, actually. How did you two talk when you were staying with him years ago?" Sam asked.

"It was easier then..." Ben sighed quietly.

"How?" Sam asked.

"Because I was afraid... and he was one of the only people I felt safe around. I confided in him. But now I'm more open with people and... I don't know." Ben grumbled and trailed off.

"No, I understand actually. Maybe what you need is to talk to him." Sam told him.

"I just said-"

"I know but-"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Talk to him"

"How?"

"With words, Ben."

"Thank you, captain obvious."

" Ben, listen. Tomorrow when we all get home, go to his house. Sit down and tell him everything on your mind. Tell him it's just you venting, but in the mix, tell him how you feel." He explained.

"Yep, totally. That'll go over great. 'Oh by the way danny, you're sexy as hell and the best dude I fuckin know. Now put your tongue down my throat.' It doesn't work that say, Sam." Ben sighed angrily.

"It does though. And knowing Danny, if you said those words to him, you'd be on the next train to pound town." Sam told him.

"You're a moron.... a smart moron, but still a moron." Ben replied.

"Go to sleep, Ben. Think about it. It'll make more sence then." A few seconds later, the curtain to the bunk below me opened and I heard Ben awkwardly toss and turn before falling asleep, snoring.

"Sam?" I spoke quietly.

"I swear to god... what?" He replied.

"...I heard all of it." I told him.

"Good. Maybe you can talk to him then. Poor kid is a damn wreck." Sam told me. "Now go the fuck to sleep."

"Okay." I replied and shut up for a few seconds. "Hey, Sam?"

"Danny, if it isn't life or death, fuck off." He stated.

"Fine..." I rolled over and closed my eyes.
