Edit: IT'S HERE AND YOU CAN READ IT NOW
Hi if your going to write long stories and use popular tags can you PLEASE use the ‘read more’ function. I have to use tumblr mobile and for me it glitches when I try to scroll past something that long - thanks :)
I thought I added it when I posted it on my PC last night, and I must have backspaced it. I am so sorry! I will fix that as soon as I can!
A/N: I am really going HAM on this series, guys. I love it so much tbh. the amount of traffic I’ve accumulated the last few days on my blog has me SHOOK. I’m so glad I’m bringing entertainment to well-deserved people! Love y’all!
Summary: It’s Friday. You just need to survive one whole work day before the night is all yours and Roger’s.
(Again, BoRhap or real Roger, whatever tickles your peaches)
WARNINGS: Swearing, Vaguely Mature Subject Matter
I’d rate this big boy a T.
It was definitely Friday.
And it was definitely seven o'clock.
A.M.
You watched as the red numbers on your alarm clock changed every infinity.
Twelve hours until dinner.
Two hours until work.
You felt as if you’d been lying awake in your bed for years. You barely had any sleep the night before, taking to the alarm clock as a distraction from your thoughts.
7:02, and your mind still raced with your heart.
It had only been two days since the situation regarding you, a lift, and a certain blond beauty occurred. Despite this, those days dragged on almost as if each day were a lifetime.
You’d had those days off, and you only did what you were doing now; staring at that damned alarm clock.
You didn’t know if you were excited or scared of this dinner with Roger. On one hand, you didn’t know how well the night would go considering your relationship with him had been transparent for a whole two years…
But you couldn’t help but think back to his confession in the lift. One you’d forgotten about until just this morning.
“My Doll, I have been in love with you since the moment I set eyes on you, and I never stopped.”
You shut your eyes and sighed. You remembered his voice being so gentle, and how the pause after his confession hung in the air in a very pleasant way.
You remembered how his bright blue eyes carved effortlessly into your heart and soul, and how his soft listings of the little domestic and romantic things he wanted to do with you had your chest nearly bursting with every butterfly that could have coexisted in your being at once.
You opened your eyes and frowned.
7:04.
You wished you’d responded to what Roger had said.
You could think of a million and one things to tell him if you were back in that situation.
In the lift.
7:05.
And a million and two things to tell him.
"Higher.“
"Fred, if this is gonna be like Bohemian Rhapsody, I may just have to leave–"
"Roger, Darling, you’re doing great here. Your falsetto is fantastic, but it just doesn’t seem to want to match tones.”
Roger sighed, pressing the palm of his right hand against his headphones. With his other hand, he spun his finger in a counter clockwise motion.
"Replay,“ he requested with a yawn. Roger really needed his morning coffee.
Freddie replayed the audio, and Roger waited for his falsetto.
In that moment, you ran through the doors of the console room the band was in, five cups of coffee and tea hot and ready for your coworkers and yourself.
"Sorry, the lineup was long, and they kept screwing up Roger’s order. As always.”
John leaned back in his swivel chair so he could see you past Freddie.
"You… seriously made sure they got his order right? That’s not… usual for you.“
You shrugged, setting the trays of coffee on the side table before removing your raincoat. "Figured I’d be nice today.”
You heard the famous Roger Taylor Falsetto from the studio.
"Still trying to perfect that part?“ You asked, taking Brian’s chair next to Freddie since he moved to retrieve his tea.
"Yeah. He insisted this song needed this one falsetto, but it’s not looking too good.”
You nodded at Brian’s response, and glanced down at the empty case the song’s tape was in. It was labelled “Somebody To Love.”
You pursed your lips, and looked up at Roger through the last window, only to see him looking back at you. You smiled the tiniest bit, and he returned it…
That is… until his attention was brought back to Freddie, who was scolding him for completely missing his time to hit his notes.
A break for Roger was called, and he left the studio. He knelt down next to your seat to talk to you, but he could see John glaring at him in harsh suspicion from over your shoulder.
Neither he, Freddie, nor Brian were aware of what happened the few nights before.
You found the silence the smallest bit awkward, so after clearing your throat, you smiled a little. “So I uh… I got you your coffee. For real this time. One and a half milk, one and a half sugar.”
"… Really?“ Roger got to his feet, and moved to the coffee table to grab his drink.
"Thought I should. You’re all working very hard. You deserve it.”
Roger took a sip of his coffee and hummed gently. “T'is a shame. I was just starting to enjoy the sweetness of two milk and two sugar.”
You just rolled your eyes in response, a smile at your lips. "You’re welcome, Blondie.”
From the other side of the room, Brian watched closely at the unusual encounter. Seeing a dinosaur in the middle of London in this time period would have been more believable to see than you and Roger…
"Are they flirting?“ John asked Brian in a hushed tone. He’d read his mind, but the lanky guitarist only answered with a shrug of his shoulders.
Freddie was more amused by yours and Roger’s engagement, mindfully leaning against the console board with his arms crossed over his chest, and a smirk on his lips.
Despite his desperate want to call you both out for your strange behaviour, he’d much prefer watching John and Brian go mad trying to figure the situation out.
"If I may,” John cleared his throat apprehensively, eyes narrowed.
“But Roger, you haven’t made one snide remark to y/n, and she’s already been here for a whole three minutes."
He paused. "Not that I’m wanting you both to fight.”
Roger just shrugged, and proceeded to hand you your order. This was the first time he didn’t try to purposely spill a hot drink on you in two years, and it was a very relieving feeling.
"Change of heart ‘suppose.“
After the boys’ coffee break, they found themselves back in the recording studio. You sat in the console room, and gave little suggestions to them every once in a while on how to improve the song.
Despite this, you knew that Somebody To Love was already a masterpiece.
"Can we start just before that falsetto, y/n?” Roger asked over the mic. You just nodded, and rewound the tape.
"Got no feel, I got no rhythm,“ you nodded your head along to Freddie’s vocals, and the already recorded instruments blasting through the speakers of both rooms.
You weren’t prepared to hear a wail of a falsetto coming from Roger. You snapped your head up to look at the band in the recording studio, Roger beaming at you in success.
You rose to your feet and cheered for the blond as the song continued on.
You knew for certain this take really counted.
The long repetition of the band members pleading the listeners to "find me somebody to love” eventually arrived in the song.
Whether this was purely a coincidence or not, Roger held eye contact with you the entire time he sang, a smile never able to leave his mouth every time he said that “L” word.
And you just found that fact utterly adorable and innocent.
It was true, then.
He really did forgive you.
And he really did love you.
"Lunch time!“ Brian announced with an excited clap of his hands. "Roger, it’s your turn to choose.”
Roger was sitting at the console board, staring at his reflection in the window separating the room you five were in, and the studio.
"I may have to skip out on lunch today, lads. I really need to practice some other songs for this album.“
While Freddie was obliged to leave, Brian and John found this really doubtful. You were staying behind to pack up the instruments the band weren’t going to use for the rest of the recording that day.
Why would someone insist on staying behind to be near an enemy? None of it was making sense.
Brian knew you. He’d known you since university. He just didn’t understand why you weren’t mouthing Roger off, or making an excuse to leave him behind.
Despite this, Freddie found himself out, and Brian and John followed.
You were lying on the couch behind Roger, reading a book. You weren’t really paying attention to it, though.
Especially not when you heard Roger’s swivel chair squeak. "Hey, Doll,” Roger greeted as he sat on the armrest of the couch by your feet.
You glanced up over the pages of your book, bending your legs so Roger could slip into the now vacant seat. You stretched your legs back out, and Roger rested his hand on one of your kneecaps.
"Hi, Loverboy,“ you acknowledged back, dipping your head back behind the book.
"Whatcha readin’?”
You shook your head. “Nothin’ interesting.”
You closed the book and dropped it on the floor, resting your arms over your stomach. “Whatcha practicin’?” You nodded your head towards the recording studio.
Roger gave you the same answer you did.
"Nothin’ interesting.“
Your lips twitched into a smile, and you closed your eyes.
Roger just watched you, his thumb rubbing circles over your kneecap in a slow, repetitive pattern.
"It’s so weird… being like this with you again.”
"Tell me about it, Doll.“
The only thing that really could be heard was the analog clock on the wall. You opened your eyes and examined the time.
1:34.
Five hours and twenty six minutes until dinner.
Three hours and twenty six minutes until the end of the work day.
"Why don’t I teach you some drumming?”
You moved your gaze from the second hand on the clock to Roger, whose eyes were wide and hopeful.
"What is this, 1974?“
"It just may be. For this lunch. If you want.”
You turned to face the live room’s tempting door handle.
"… only for a few minutes. I still need to pack up for everyone else.“
Roger beamed, and you lifted your legs to set him free. He immediately grabbed your hand, and pulled you into the studio, shutting the door behind you rather quickly.
"Okay okay,” Roger took a seat in his drumming stool, and turned to you, patting his thigh innocently with his hand.
"A special seat for a special lady.“
"In your lap? You call that special?”
"Well, not me, but some women might.“
You smiled, and shook your head. "Gross.”
Despite this, you seated yourself in Roger’s lap, and he spun the both of you around so you were behind the drums.
"Here,“ he gave you his drumsticks from his back pocket, and put them in your hands.
He went to cup his larger hands over yours, and you teasingly mumbled "gee, at least take me to dinner first.”
Roger shifted over so he could look at your face. “You mean to tell me I have to buy you dinner to hold your hand, but lap-sitting is completely fine?”
You shrugged, your uncontrollable grin resulting in a smile from Roger.
You both turned back to the drums, and Roger started naming the different types of drums on the kit.
Of course, you knew everything he told you. He’d told you before. You’d dealt with his drums and put them away for the longest time. Before…
"–And here’s the snare. T’s my favourite because its name is fun to say.“
You just let Roger talk. You missed hearing his voice speak with such passion.
You missed doing things like this with him.
You missed him.
How blind were you in the past not to catch on to how into you Roger was?
How into you he is now.
You opened your mouth to speak, but Roger was still going on about the drum kit.
You didn’t cut him off.
But you let him help you play.
He helped you play both simple and complicated songs, his arms guiding yours to the correct drums and cymbals at the right time.
At one point, Roger let go of your arms, and you kept to the notes he’d taught you moments before.
"You’re doin’ well, Doll.” He watched the drumsticks tap the cymbals over your shoulder, his hands innocently resting at your waist.
You repeated the same notes for a minute or so before you felt Roger’s arms slide around your body into a gentle embrace.
"… Rog?“
"I’m sorry, y/n. About the last few years. How I’ve treated you…”
He rested his head on your shoulder, and you reached up to comb his hair with your fingers.
"Hey, hey now. It’s okay. I’m okay. We’re okay.“
Although Roger found some relief in your words, he tightened his arms around you. You just sighed, and leaned back, turning your head to kiss his temple.
"It was justified, and all is forgiven, Hun. Let’s put these last two years behind us. Start over, yeah?”
Roger turned his head to face you, and after looking at you for a moment or so, he nodded his head.
"Thank you, Doll.“ One of his arms unravelled from around your waist, and he let his own fingers glide through your hair.
You shut your eyes, and basked in the short amount of time Roger gave you this attention.
When you opened your eyes, Roger’s gaze was obviously fixated on your lips. You lifted your head up a little, and his eyes flicked up to meet yours, gently, and kindly smiling.
"Y'know… you have nice lips.”
Your cheeks glowed, and you shyly looked away. Roger laughed– a short exhale out his nostrils.
"Don’t make me kiss you, y/n.“ You turned back to him, and the both of you’d found yourselves moving ever so slightly closer to each other.
Before he got too close, you pressed the tips of your fingers to his mouth, and smiled innocently.
"Whatever you say, Blondie.”
Roger’s mouth fell open in shock after you pulled your hand away.
"I wasn’t being serious!“
"No, Meddows. I’m doing what you asked,” you’d never looked so smug in your life, or sounded so proud.
You believe this was the first time you’d put the Roger Taylor in his place.
You glanced up at the clock, and proceeded to do a double take. “Shit!”
You jumped out of Roger’s lap, and started running around the studio, gathering cords, and wrapping them up frantically.
"What?!“
"We spent that whole hour drumming and talking! The boys will be back any moment!”
Roger wordlessly got to his feet and helped you clean up. You were thankful for that. You just never verbally expressed it.
When Freddie, John, and Brian all returned from lunch, not only was the studio empty of any unnecessary instruments, but your relationship with Roger, if you could even believe it, had been strengthened even further after the confession on the lift.
As much as it bummed you out, you and Roger didn’t kiss in the studio.
Were you close when Roger was apologizing?
Absolutely.
It was something that plagued your mind for the rest of the day.
The clock in the console room struck five, and you took a deep breath.
Two hours until dinner.
Brian entered the console room from the studio, his Red Special in hand. He was spending the last few hours practicing his solos for other songs on the album they were working on, and John was also in there with him at some point.
"That was a great practice, everyone!“ Freddie announced, a painfully wide grin on his face.
"Why don’t we all go for drinks tonight? My treat.”
You looked over at Roger with mild worry, shrugging on your raincoat slowly.
"I can’t tonight, Fred,“ Roger said apologetically. "I’ve plans I can’t cancel.” Freddie nodded in understanding.
"What about you, y/n?“ John asked.
"I have a date, actually.” At that, the room went quiet.
This was new.
Brian raised an eyebrow. “You… you’ve met someone?”
You swallowed. You didn’t think this was going to be such a big deal. You’ve dated around after your breakup with Steven. Why is it different now?
"Old friend,“ you explained. "Our friendship’s been kinda vacant. We wanted to reconnect. See what’d happen, you know?”
You swear on your life that you saw a hint of jealousy in Roger’s eyes, but it soon faded away when he realized the mistake he made.
Fucking dumbass, I was talking about you!
You shook your head a little in mild frustration, but smiled once more.
"Best be going, actually. Date’s at seven. Have a good night everyone!“
You heard a collective "good bye"s from Fred, Brian, and John, but an isolated "have fun tonight, y/n,” from Roger.
You shut the door to the studio, and made your way to the lift. As soon as the doors of the lift closed, you audibly groaned.
"Fucking moron.“
This little shit really just got jealous over himself.
Maybe all those months of faking hatred towards one another was really getting to him.
The lift, since it was broken, was very slow going down the elevator shaft. It gave you time to think.
After this date, you hoped to come clean with Freddie, Brian, and John about the state of your relationship with Roger.
Messages wouldn’t be underlying, nor would your unusual behaviour towards the drummer.
This situation was very complicated the more you thought about it, but you really hoped a fun night out with Roger would be enough to solve everything.
And it would.
A/A/N: This was very long so I apologize for the wait. I also wanna thank y’all for being patient. As always, comments, and feedback are always welcome!
@radiob-l-a-hblah @bohemiansweede @demo-wise @culturefiendtrashqueen @luvborhap
A/N: I am so sorry I couldn’t get this out on Valentine’s Day like I promised. I wanted to have a wonderful day with my boyfriend, and we ended up falling asleep and I found no time to post. I really am sorry.
But anyways, I’m not sure how well this chapter is gonna go because the last one was kinda slept on :/ BUT, to be fair, the previous one had no reader, and it was literally just dialogue, so I get it. I just really hope this one does better.
Summary: Roger goes home with a proposal to change his deal with Y/n.
(Real or Borhap! Roger. Whatever seasons your chicken.)
WARNINGS: Swearing, sLoW bUrN, EXTREME Mentions of sex, but again, No SmUt, mature romantic subject matter, I think that’s it. This one was a lil sad too.
Hun, this is about to be steamy, so this IS rated M. Read at your own risk, peeps, and if you’re under 18, maybe skip the ending of this one.
Roger pulled into his driveway, and after he took his key out of the ignition, rather than going inside immediately, he sat in the driver’s seat listening to the loud taps of raindrops hitting his windshield.
He rubbed his face stressfully, glancing over to the rather expensive bouquet of flowers along with the stupid, cliché heart shaped box which only contained the most expensive chocolate Roger could find in any London supermarket.
"If this is too much, she’ll kill me,“ he mumbled to himself before reaching for the purchases and pushing the door open.
And out into the rain he went.
He unlocked the front door after being completely annihilated with the heavy, stinging rain falling fast and largely from the stormclouds above.
He was able to make it into the house before the lightning began to strike, and as he toed off his shoes in the front hallway, his hair dripping with water, the low rumble of thunder vibrating the floorboards below his socks.
No matter, he was safe, and at home, and… something smelled really good.
Roger removed his soaked jacket and hung it up on a hook in the hallway behind the front door before moving deeper into the dark house. The only light that could be seen on was in the kitchen, at the end of the hall.
He turned into the room and stopped in the threshold, taking in your lovely appearance as you wordlessly chopped up carrots, turned away and unaware of the visitor behind you.
Roger quietly set the flowers and chocolates on the counter before moving behind you, and after you put the knife down, he rested his freezing, wet hands on the back of your neck.
Almost immediately, your shoulders rose to your ears, and you let out a loud squeal, turning on your heel and shoving Roger backward, to which he laughed hysterically as he backed into the counters on the other side of the room.
"You scared me!” You groaned before turning back to dinner stubbornly.
"Ah, Love, I’m sorry. The look on your face was priceless.“ He softly combed his fingers through your hair, pushing it to the side to leave a soft, warm, innocent kiss on the back of your neck, where he’d just placed his hands.
At the contact, you shut your heavy eyes and hummed gently in appreciation.
"Make that noise again, and we may end up having a late dinner,” Roger mumbled hotly, and deeply. Your face burned when you felt the drummer’s lips curl into a devilish smile against your skin.
"Y’know, I bought you something today,“ he continued on, and you swallowed nervously.
"Yeah?” You squeaked, to which Roger hummed in return, his hands planting on your hips over your clothes to not disturb the warmth of your body with his freezing fingers. He gave your hips a little squeeze, and let another hum reverberate in the back of his throat.
Your cheeks glowed pink, and you wordlessly brought your thighs closer to one another.
Make that noise again, and we may end up having a late dinner, you thought to yourself.
"Oh yes. Because you’re such a good girlfriend to me.“ And like that, his touch was gone.
You opened your eyes, and looked over your shoulder, where you found Roger cutting the stems off the bouquet of flowers one-at-a-time. Your eyes fell to the heart-shaped-box, and Roger put the knife in his hand down to move the box closer to you.
”’S’ll be our dessert,“ he smiled kindly. You offered a friendly smile back, your cheeks still warm from earlier, as you turned your attention back to dinner.
"Y'know… if we even get there,” Roger finished. Your eyes widened and you turned your gaze back to him. The little bugger was back to cutting the stems off the flowers he bought you, his lips gently upturned in an innocent grin.
"… Are you okay?“
"Hm?” Roger opened up one of the cupboards to retrieve a flower vase. He moved to the sink, ran the faucet, and began filling it with water.
"What are you talking about? I feel great.“
"You’re just…” You squinted your eyes. “You’re acting really weird."
Roger shut off the faucet, and leaned back against the counter to look at you.
He was giving you this look… it was like how he looked at you at the Garrison’s the week before. But there was something off about it.
His gaze seemed… Darker.
"Just getting my mind off things,” was all he had to say before picking the vase up from inside the sink and returning to the flowers on the counter.
You tried your best to return your focus back onto dinner, reaching for another carrot to cut up. Meanwhile, Roger was dissolving the plant nutrients in the water.
By the time you reached the final carrot, the room was still quiet, and Roger, moving to pick up the bouquet and redirect them into the vase, paused his movements to look over his shoulder at you.
Roger watched intensely as you moved around the little area you were working in. His eyes were fixed on the back of your head, but as time progressed, he began to find it difficult to keep his eyes from viewing lower, and lower…
"… Y/n, have I ever told you how pretty you are?“ Roger asked suddenly. You turned to him in startled confusion, and Roger made a face of regret. He mentally chastised himself for saying that.
This was how he picked up women. You were not just a woman. You were much, much more than that.
You laughed nervously, and awkwardly turned back to the carrot that had nearly been forgotten on the cutting board. You tried distracting yourself from Roger’s strange behaviour by dicing each carrot slice you prepared.
"You do realize you’re not in public, right, Rogie? You don’t have to be that nice to me."
"But I’m being serious.” The sound of the knife hitting the cutting board ceased again, and you finally dropped the knife to properly approach Roger.
You crossed your arms over your chest and sighed in pretend annoyance, though the charade didn’t last long.
“Alright. You got me. What do you want?"
"A favour."
"What kind of favour?” you challenged with a smile, one you’d tried to suppress, but gave in to.
Classic Roger, you thought, King of bribery AND flirting.
Roger opened his mouth to speak again, but the words were caught in his throat.
He suddenly went pale, and your smile contorted into one of worry. “… Roger?”
"O-um… well Y/n, y-you see, uh…“ Roger’s gaze fell helplessly to the floor as he stumbled over his words nervously, his cheeks growing hotter with every try. This especially worried you.
Roger was the most confident man you knew, and watching him be this hesitant about something really bothered you. In a case like this, you would have probably made fun of him, but you could see how stressed he must have felt, so you rested a comforting hand on his shoulder.
It was as if your touch was magic. Roger’s stuttering ceased, and he looked at you with big round eyes.
Then he took a deep breath.
"Y/n, I talked to the guys today.”
"… About?“
"Us. This…” Roger gestured to the house. “… Situation we’re in.” You both knew he was stalling from asking what he needed to, but you tried to keep patient.
“Look, Y/n, I feel awful, and I know I made a promise to you about no groupies…"
”… This is what this is about?” you asked dryly. “You not being able to have women over?“
"What?! No! Well– yes, but–” you removed your hand from Roger’s shoulder and went back to cutting vegetables, the sound of the blade hitting the wooden cutting board getting louder and louder as time ticked on.
All of that stuttering just for him to tell you he needed sex. Of course you were pissed off, and Roger knew that. You had a deal. In fact, he was horrified with himself. And now that you were angry, he was certain you would say no to the burning question he needed to ask.
"Then go.“ You told him sharply. "Go find someone to sleep with. Just don’t bring her back here. If you’re ever caught, we are done for."
Roger’s heart ached at your words. He tried to speak, but, like before, he couldn’t get the words out.
He didn’t care if it was too late, he had to tell you he wanted you; that he needed you.
"Y/n,"
"I said go!” You turned to him angrily as you shouted, and Roger could swear your eyes were glassy with fresh, unfallen tears, though you blinked them back stubbornly.
He breathlessly apologized, and rushed out of the house as fast as possible, leaving you alone in the kitchen, homemade pizza in the oven almost ready to come out, and a half prepared garden salad that would never be eaten.
_________________________________
Roger stood in the candy section of the supermarket for a second time that day, red eyes scanning the shelves for something you liked.
Rather than listening to you and getting laid, he was more focused on rebuilding the relationship he was unintentionally tearing down.
He needed to apologize to you as soon as possible, and going empty handed, Roger decided, was not a good idea.
"Pissed off your girlfriend too, mate?“ Roger looked to his right to see another man his age, looking at the wide selection of romantically-wrapped sweets before him.
”… Yeah, you could say that.“
"Figured. See, in times like this,” the stranger began as he slowly walked down the aisle before reaching out and grabbing a cheap candy bar from off the shelf.
“The best thing you can do is buy her her favourite candy bar, give her a kiss, and tell her how much you appreciate and love her.”
Roger silently thought this to himself, and although he wanted to somehow thank the guy for his advice, he was already giving Roger an encouraging slap on the shoulder and exiting the aisle to pay for his girlfriend’s gift.
______________________________
When Roger got home it was just before midnight. He made sure to enter the house and close the door as quietly as he could in case you were sleeping.
After toeing his shoes off and hanging up his once again wet jacket, he went to the kitchen. There, he set a large bag of your favourite candy bars down on the counter so the rustling of the plastic bag didn’t wake you up.
He pulled a carton of cigarettes out of his back pocket, and opened it to retrieve a new one. He mumbled a curse when he realized he only had two left, and he hadn’t bothered to pick any more up when he was in town more than once that day.
He just tossed the nearly empty carton on the table, and that’s when he saw the vase of flowers he neglected to finish preparing.
They were placed and displayed beautifully and intricately; the definite works of a woman. Roger couldn’t pull off making such a display if he tried to do it on his own.
He guessed that was one reason to appreciate you: your creativity.
But he appreciated you for many other things. The list was just so long; if Roger had to name everything he appreciated about you, he wouldn’t even know where to start, and his rambles would surely never end.
He placed the cigarette between his lips, and wandered to the back door. He took his time getting there.
There was no need to hurry.
He slid the door open a crack, and lit his cigarette with a lighter he’d left on the counter.
After the first inhale, and watching as he blew the smoke out into the wet, miserable night, Roger already began to feel a little better.
He still felt guilty about his earlier conflict with you, but he planned out and repeated what he wanted to say to you to and from the supermarket.
"I don’t want just anyone. I want you.“
Like his journey home, Roger began mumbling the statement like a mantra between his draws of smoke.
After getting to the filter of the cancer stick, Roger flicked it outside before sliding the patio door shut and locking it. Afterwards, he went upstairs, prepared for bed, and went to his room.
There, he turned his bedside lamp on and retrieved a notebook, his book of lyrics and brainstorm ideas for songs, from under his pillow. He opened it up and began writing in it.
Hearing a knock on his door was the last thing Roger expected that night, but when you slowly walked in, and stared at him from your place at the door, he put the book down and gave you his full attention.
"Rog… Look,"
"Y/n, it’s okay, it’s okay.” You pursed your lips, and Roger beckoned you over with his finger.
You slipped into the room completely, and shut the door behind you.
When Roger felt the dip in the mattress, he reached out to touch you. He didn’t have an exact plan on what he was doing, so his hand fell to your back, and he decided to rub slow, soothing circles around your shoulder blades.
"… Y/n, I don’t want just anyone,“ he finally blurted out after a while of silence.
You looked at him in confusion, and Roger’s hand stopped rubbing your back. The silence in the air was thick, and Roger tried his best not to start panicking again.
"I uh…” He removed his hand from your back and awkwardly shifted in his spot.
“I wanted to explain earlier that… that I wanted to um… maybe… talk to you about uh… adding onto this… this agreement."
The look you gave him was devastating. Big, sad eyes, and downturned lips. You felt guiltier than ever. You wanted to apologize for what you’d said, and how you acted earlier, but you didn’t even bother.
Roger wouldn’t have allowed it, anyways.
"Yes…?"
You asked gently, reaching your own hand out and placing it reassuringly on his thigh. Roger stared down at your hand for a moment, taking a shaky, deep breath.
”… Don’t you think it’d… y'know… be easier if… we were friends but… helped each other uh…“ he couldn’t continue further than that. He tried, but he physically couldn’t say any more.
"Are you… suggesting what I think you are?"
"If what you’re thinking is that we can sleep with one another with no strings attached then yes.” His words rushed out of his mouth like a flood, and Roger felt as if he was overheating.
He wouldn’t dare to speak, or move until you did.
And he was glad to have made that decision.
You, after recovering from the shock of Roger’s confession, wasted no time in gripping Roger by the hips, and pulling yourself up into his lap.
Roger exclaimed in surprise when you did this, and after wrapping your legs around his hips, your fingers slid back into his blond hair, and you kissed him with a hunger neither of you expected you to possess.
Kissing you, Roger decided, was better than he ever dreamed it could be. Your lips were soft; your kiss was forceful and controlling, only making this more enjoyable for him; and the way you were touching him– pulling his hair and tightening your legs around him– teased the absolute hell out of him.
And he loved every single passing second of it.
Roger’s hesitation melted away quicker than he expected, and in no time one of his hands was gripping your thigh while the other held the back of your head.
You pulled at Roger’s hair harder, and a smirk played at your lips as he let a deep growl elicit from the back of his throat.
You let your tongue slide past Roger’s lips and into his mouth, to which he made another, pleased noise. Both of his hands grabbed your hips, his fingers absentmindedly toying with the waistband of both your pyjama bottoms and your underwear beneath as he forced his tongue into your own mouth.
You encouraged him to continue when you whined rather loudly, practically begging him to kiss you like that again.
His confidence and ego only inflated from there.
He moved the both of you around so you were lying beneath him, his hands on either side of your head. He dipped down to kiss and suck your neck like it was the only thing he knew how to do.
His hips lowered down onto yours, and you, without thinking, whined again and slammed your hips up to excitedly grind against Roger’s, who let out another deep, guttural moan.
His hands tightened into fists as grasped his bedsheets beneath you and pulled at them tightly to restrain himself from either being too rough with you, or taking you right then and there.
In fact, he had to eventually force himself to pull back, but just enough to get a good look at you. He noticed your beautiful, untouched hair just waiting to be pulled; your hot, red face; your parted lips swollen from the assault of his own; and your quick, heaving chest.
His eyelids lowered and he licked his lips.
You were the most beautiful thing he had ever set eyes on.
He shifted his hips around once or twice more, and when he watched you shut your eyes and bite your lip, he decided he couldn’t handle your erotic behaviour any longer.
"Fuck,“ he huffed deeply, hands releasing the blankets beneath you to grip your ass. You opened your eyes slowly, and smirked.
You, of all people, had Roger Taylor hot, bothered, and completely at your mercy.
Roger reached over without breaking eye contact with you to retrieve a condom and a bottle of lube from the dresser in his bedside table, meanwhile, you clicked the lamp on the very same table off.
It was time to get to work, and see how beneficial this new addition to the deal would be for the both of you.

247.“Tell me a secret.”
248.“That came out wrong.”
249.“That guy at the bar keeps staring at you.”
250.“The way you flirt is shameful.”
251.“There are plenty of people out there who love you.” “Yeah, like who?” “Like me.”
252.“There’s something I need to tell you.”
253.“Things don’t always turn out how they should.”
254.“Those things you said yesterday… Did you mean them?”

256.“Wake up! Please, please wake up!”
257.“Wanna dance?”
258.“We could be amazing!”
259.“Well, don’t keep me waiting!”
260.“Well, this is awkward…”
261.“Well, this is where I live.”
262.“We finish it the same way we started… together.”
263.“What are you afraid of?”
264.“What were you thinking? Were you trying to get yourself killed?”

278.“You don’t have to stay.”
279.“You don’t know you the way I do.”
280.“You don’t need to protect me.”

282.“You have the most amazing eyes.”
283.“You have to make a choice.”
284.“You have to remember!”

307.“Wanna bet?”
308.“Teach me how to play?”
309.“Looks like we’ll be trapped for a while…”
