    Summary

    He glances at Brian, then turns back out the window again aimlessly; a few dozen hay bales lay scattered across an enormous lawn, wrapped in white waterproofing plastic. Roger can just make out a barn in stark red far in the distance. Acoustics fade out and The Beatles’ ‘Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?’ fades in; Roger quirks a grin. Eyes still fixed out the window he quips, “Not a bad idea, that.”

    A beat passes. Then, without looking at him, Brian says, “You serious?”

    Summary

    The emptiness had never spilled over. Brian had been keeping it in check, keeping himself busy by volunteering at the animal shelter or studying physics way above of his level or playing the guitar until his fingers looked like a mess of bruises and torn cuticles. Sometimes, he would keep himself busy watching Roger bring home girl after girl while he himself sat on the sofa, bitterly drinking a beer and listening to Jimi Hendrix in an attempt to drown out the moans and the bang of the headboard against the wall. He had been keeping the emptiness in check. It had never spilled over. Not until this day.

    In which Brian is sad and Roger is frustrated.

    Summary

    But it's been a while since they've had some time to themselves, since Roger's just let himself fall into Brian's arms to be held for minutes on minutes, and the swaying is nice, a soothing kind of side to side motion in time with the acoustic guitar of the song. Brian's voice is quiet and gentle, his chest rumbling a little with the sounds, and Roger never wants to move.

    Summary

    “John? You find something?”

    More silence.

    Brian put down his book and made to stand up when John suddenly reappeared. Any words died in Brian’s throat when he saw what John was holding; namely a velvet skirt and a cheap-looking make-up set. There was a flimsy bra hanging from his finger and a laddered pair of tights over his arm. Brian blinked slowly a few times before his brow furrowed.

    “What–”

    “They were in Roger’s room,” John said, quietly, slowly. “Down the side of his bed. I’m so sorry, Brian.”

    /

    Roger has been keeping his darkest desire a secret for a very long time. He wasn't anticipating anyone ever finding out.
