After a day of promo the girls were finally back at their hotel in London dressed down in lounging clothes rather than their heels and makeup that they wore all day.
The girls and Andy sat on (y/n)'s bed with ice cream and the tv on ready to watch the boys play live in Sheffield.
"You excited to see your boy (y/n/n)?" Megan sang shaking your arm.
"Maybee." You sang back.
"I'm excited to see them play!" Andy spoke with a smile on his face.
"I still can't believe you've never heard of Def Leppard..." said CeeCee.
"I'm not much of a metal fan." Andy replied.
"Well they're not really metal, love." CeeCee added.
"Shh! It's on!!" Megan jumped.
You saw on the screen Joe Elliot walking out to the stage then to Phil and Sav behind him.
Everyone quickly turned their heads to you causing you to blush.
"Wait is that him??" Andy asked.
"The one with the big fluffy hair" Megan said to him.
"Oh wow." Andy replied.
The screen then zoomed into Sav causing you to smile more. Oh how you missed him.
Once the boys made it to the stage they started off with Let's Get Rocked.
"Look at (y/n) she's fallen all over again." Ashley smiled.
"She always looks like that when she watches him perform." Megan laughs.
"Shut up you two." You said. Hiding your face in your sleeve.
You watched Sav play along and run around on stage. He was wearing ripped jeans and a purple shirt unbuttoned open revealing his whole chest. To say he looked good would be an understatement.
Next the went into Another Hit and Run. The boys playing the intro while Joe ran across the front of the stage getting the crowd pumped.
Later the boys went into an instrumental moment with Phil and Viv trading off rhythm and solo.
"Viv's doing great!" You said to the girls.
"Yeah it looks like things are really working out with him. They sound and look great together." Ash replied her focus glued to the tv.
Sav jumped over to synth as the band started Too Late For Love.
Ashley and Megan sang along in goofy accents as the boys performed.
You watched Sav brush his bangs out of his eyes to look into the crowd. He looked beautiful. He always did when he was up there performing and doing his thing.
He ran up to the front of the stage and pointed out to the crowd as Phil banged his head around and went crazy on the guitar.
Next they went into Hysteria with Sav starting out on the bass line.
"Oooh it's (y/n)'s man killin it up there!!" Ashley yelled out.
"Would you knock it off." You blushed again giving her a shove.
"Look how red she is!" CeeCee said to the group pointing at your cheeks.
"Stop it! I can't help it!" You crumbled in embarrassment.
"Of course you can't it's your song." CeeCee smirked.
"Uhggg" you threw your head in your hands.
"They really sound great!" Andy said in amazement. "I like this song!"
"Hysteria when your near!!" Ashley yelled leaning into Andy. "When are we going to a Def Leppard show (y/n)?"
"I wish, our busy schedules make that a bit difficult. They should be done soon. I believe they have like a month left." You replied.
"Then (y/n) can see her boy toy again!" Ashley squealed.
"I'm about to kick you out." You replied.
Next the boys went into Make Love Like a Man. Sav and Joe singing back to back in the middle of the stage. You and the girls laughed at Viv plucking a note on Sav's bass. At the end of the song.
Next was Foolin' then Rocket.
Sav's vocals were very easy to hear in this song.
"Oh my gosh is that Sav singin?" Ashley asked.
"Ha, yes it is." You laughed.
"Sing it boy!" She yelled at the tv.
"His bass is so pretty!" Megan said.
The boys went into another instrumental solo transition. Phil was soloing while Viv had his arms around him from behind pretending to play the solo and messing with the camera. Everyone laughed at that.
"Viv's funny! I can't wait to meet him!" Ashley said.
"Yeah me too." CeeCee replied. "Did you meet him yet (y/n/n)?"
You giggled thinking back to Phil yelling to you from the plane.
"We had a brief meeting, yes."
Next the boys went into their new song Two Steps Behind
Sav sat on a stool playing acoustic. His long curly hair in his eyes. You noticed it was much longer than when you last saw him.
"This songs about (y/n)." Ashley whispered to Andy.
"Says who? Joe literally just said it was for a movie." You replied.
"Yeah but it's totally about you." She winked.
You rolled your eyes at that.
They went into Have You Ever Needed Someone so Bad.
"This is about her too." She whispered again.
"Jesus." You groaned.
Next was your favorite Armageddon It.
Joe ran across the stage again getting the crowd pumped.
"Give it all of your lovin!" You and the girls sang. "Give it all that you got!"
"Ooh this is a good one too." Andy commented.
"Every bit of your loving!" You and the girls continued. "Never want it to stop!"
Next was Pour Some Sugar on Me.
Halfway through the song Viv ran across the stage and slid over to Sav's feet jamming out with him. Next Sav did the same to Phil, plucking one of his strings while he was at it. You all giggled at that.
"Look at those boys having fun up there. I can't wait for tour." Ashley said to you and the girls.
Tour.
Sav would be back soon but you'd only be together for a few months until you would have to leave for your own tour.
Next was Rock of Ages.
"This is Rick Allen." Joe yelled out to the crowd.
Rick jumped up and threw his fist in the air as the crowd went wild.
"He's going to introduce a song to you!"
Rick sat back down and did an evil laugh into the mic.
"Gunter Gleiben Glauchen Globen"
They eventually ended the song with a bang and said good night.
Until Rick walked back on stage followed by Phil, Viv, Sav, and Joe for an encore. Sav was wearing his Sheffield Wednesday jersey and Joe was wearing his Sheffield United jersey. Joe walked over to Sav flipping him off wile Sav smiled at him, giving him a big hug.
"I thought he might so I did." Joe said into the mic as the band started Love Bites.
"Oh those boys and their damn soccer." You laughed.
"Personally I'm more of a Liverpool girl." Ashley spoke.
"That's cause your boyfriend plays for the team." Megan teased.
"Oh piss off!" Ashley gave her a light push.
You hummed along to Love Bites, another one of your favorites.
They then went into Photograph to finish off the show.

Once the show was long over and the girls and Andy were all in their rooms you laid in bed reading To Kill a Mockingbird when the phone rang.
"Hello?" You said with a slight smile knowing who was on the other line.
"Hello, love." Spoke the sweet voice of Rick Savage on the other line. "How'd we do?"
"It was incredible! You guys were amazing!" Sav laughed at your excitement. "It was really nice to see you, even if it was just through a screen. I can't wait for you to come home."
There was a pause on the other side of the phone.
"Sweetheart, Theres something I need to tell you."
Something was wrong. He only called you that when something was wrong.
"Sav, what is it?" You asked carefully.
"They've released 60 more dates."
You sat there silent as Sav anxiously waited for your response. 60 more dates? Who knows how much longer that would actually end up being.
"How many months."
"4."
"Sav..."
"I swear I had no idea. I wouldn't have agreed to it. I miss you like crazy and I need to see you." Sav begged for you to understand.
You were quiet again. This time thinking. You couldn't go through another 4 months without him.
"Where are you off to next?" You asked.
"We've been visiting our families for a bit in Sheffield then we're leaving for Japan tomorrow."
"I'll meet you at the airport."
Sav was caught by surprise. "Really? What about promo?"
"Most of the big stuff is done. Just some interviews which the girls can cover for me and say I'm sick."
"Ar-are you sure?"
"Yes, I need to see you."
"Alright then." Sav smiled. "I can't wait."
"I'll see you then."
"(Y/n)?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you so much."
You smiled. "I love you too. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, love."
You hung up the phone and laid back down in bed. The excitement keeping you up from sleeping.
