Work Text:
Glam:’tuning his guitar, he plays it a bit and nods at the tune, then he puts it down and quickly stretches’that should do it, now-
Chive: glam.
Glam: oh, hi chive!
Chive: are you ok?
Glam: huh?
Chive: Well, we’ve been doing a lot of performing lately, and I'm worried that you’re starting to get tired and exhausted, and I remember the last time you were tired, you were starting to go crazy and it scared everyone.
Glam: it wasn’t that bad.
Chive: you passed out!
Glam: right, but i’ll be ok, i’ve just been tuning my guitar to make sure it has sounded just right, i want to make sure it goes well.
Chive: Are you sure you can handle it?
Glam: yes, don’t worry chive, i have it all under control, but thank you for looking out for me, i appreciate it.
Then he hugs Chive, who hugs back, but frowns when he notices that glam’s fingers had a few blisters on them.
Chive: glam, your fingers……….
Glam: oh, i should probably treat those soon, but it’s due to me playing the guitar so much that i’m getting blisters, but don’t worry, i’m sure i have something here that will treat it, i think it’s in the cabinet.
Chive: ok, i’ll get it.
Then he opens it and gets a container out of it.
Chive: is this the container?
Glam: yes, thank you, chive.
Then he opens the container and gently applies it to his fingers, he winces a bit, but he finishes applying it.
Chive: Are you sure you can play with blisters?
Glam: yes, it’s not the first time i’ve had blisters on my fingers, so i should be able to handle it, don’t worry.
Chive: glam, that’s concerning.
Glam: I promise that I'm able to handle it though, i'll just take some energy drinks and I'll be all good, this isn't the first time I've had to do something while tired, it was the reason why I was able to even do this stuff in the first place when I was younger, before I eventually left home, and I had a very nice nap.
Chive: maybe you should take a nap.
Glam: do I even have time for one? I still need to make sure we have everything we need for our performance.
Chive: I'm sure I can handle it.
Glam: chive, the last time you did laundry, you mixed the colors with the whites and bob almost snapped your neck in half.
Chive: I'm sure he wouldn’t have done that.
Glam: he had his hands on your throat, The only reason why you're still alive is because I stepped in because I had bought extra clothing just in case something like this happened, and all of you said I was too paranoid.
Chive: I guess being paranoid does pay off.
Glam: well-
Man:’walks in’you’ll all be up in 30 minutes.
Chive: I thought it was supposed to be in an hour?
Man: Well, things changed, we got more people coming and starting to become a bit restless so we need to push the performance forward, so all of you need to start getting ready as soon as possible, this is big money we're talking about, and who knows if someone important is in the audience.
Chive: but we had a scheduled time.
Man: when it comes to the entertainment business, barely anything is scheduled to be on time anymore.
Chive growls as the manager walks out of the room.
Glam:’looks at him’
Chive: fucking asshole.
Glam: chive…………
Chive: looks like we need to get ready, glam, and here I thought you would get the chance to take a nap………..
Glam: i’ll be ok, chive, don’t worry.
Later……………..
Chive: ready?
Bob: ya, me and lordi are ready, but man, I wish we had more time, we barely got ready in time, stupid manager…………..
Lordi:’pats his back’
Chive:’takes a deep breath and walks to the microphone, he grins’thank you for coming to our performance today! I hope you enjoy it!
The crowd cheers as the band starts.
Chive:
Mmm, yeah
Ha.
Glam:
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Chive:’smirks at the crowd’
Tonight
I wanna give it all to you
In the darkness.
Then he adjusts his coat a bit, making himself look hot.
Chive:
There's so much I wanna do
And tonight
I wanna lay it at your feet.
Then he holds his hand out to the crowd, which makes them cheer even louder, glam winced a bit at the noise, but shakes his head.
Glam:’thinks’i guess it’s due to how tired I am that my hearing is a bit more sensitive, i can handle it, though, we need the money………
Chive:
'Cause, girl, I was made for you
And, girl, you were made for me.
Chive:
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me.
Glam:
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
The crowd cheers as the manager smirks.
Chive:
Tonight
I wanna see it in your eyes
Feel the magic
There's something that drives me wild.
Then he grins and moves a bit of his skin to show off one of his sharp teeth, a few girls squeal, one even fainted.
Glam:’thinks’is she ok?
Chive:
And tonight
We're gonna make it all come true
'Cause, girl, you were made for me
And, girl, I was made for you.
Glam:’thinks’is it just me or is everything getting darker? I thought for sure things were going to get brighter…………
Chive:
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can give it all to you, baby
Can you give it all to me?
Bob and lordi:
Oh, woah, can't get enough
Oh, woah, I can't get enough
Oh, woah, I can't get enough.
They all play their instruments for a small break, and then the guitar solo, glam takes a deep breath and starts playing with all the energy he had left, the crowd cheers, lordi and bob smile at glam, while he is trying to keep his eyes open.
Glam:
Ha.
Bob and lordi:
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Chive:
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
Glam:’thinks’i think the lights are getting darker………..i feel so tired right now, i don’t know how much longer i can take it………..
Chive:
Oh, I was made
You were made
I can't get enough
No, I can't get enough.
Glam:’winced as the lights get brighter’
Chive:
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me?
I was made for lovin' you, baby
You were made for lovin' me
And I can't get enough.
Then they stop playing, and it’s when glam collapses, chive gasps and quickly runs towards glam.
Chive: glam? Glam?!
Man:’runs over’what the hell is going on?! You still got a few more songs to play! Just throw some water on him!
Chive:’picks up glam and walks off the stage’
Man: Hey, get back here! Right now!
Chive ignores him and continues walking, and after a while, they go to another room and he puts glam on the couch.
Glam:’stirs a bit’
Chive: glam?
Glam: this isn't how i thought tonight would go………..
Chive: it’s ok, glam, just red, you collapsed on stage, don’t worry, just rest, you’ll need it, i’ll handle the manager.
Glam: ok…………’slowly closes his eyes’
Man:’opens the door’OUTSIDE. NOW.
Chive:’sighs and walks towards him’
Then the door closes, glam sleeping blissfully.
