Queen One Shots

Goodnight - Roger and John

This wasn't requested but I've had this idea in my head for a little while and I thought it was about time I'd write it.

Thursday

Queen's tour of Japan, 1981. 5 shows in Tokyo, starting tonight. They were all excited to be touring in Japan again, the fans out here were incredible.

"Darlings we need to pick our hotel rooms" Freddie announced

"I've just been told they've only got 3 rooms" Brian confessed

"Sorry guys but I don't want to share, I intend to party tonight and maybe every night so I won't want to disturb you" Freddie admitted freely

"I don't mind sharing as long as it's not with Brian. He hogs the duvet" Roger complained

"How the hell would you know that?" Brian asked

"We shared when we were on tour with Mott The Hoople, I was so cold" Roger whined again

"Fine. Roger and John share then. Is that ok Deaky?" Freddie asked

"Uh- yeah sure" John nodded. If the others were happy, then so was he. He didn't mind sharing. Roger ignored him most of the time anyway so it wasn't going to be too noisy for the quiet bass player.

"Great! Let's unpack and then go to the venue" Freddie ordered

After the show, 3 tired men stumbled into the hotel. Freddie had gone to spend a night on the town with a few of the roadies.

"What side do you want?" Roger asked John when they were getting ready for bed

"Uh, left side" John replied

"Oh good, I wanted right side" Roger chuckled

John hummed a laugh too before getting into bed. Roger got in too. They both slept right on the edge of the bed, as far away from each other as possible without falling out.

Friday

The two men found themselves cuddled up the next morning, despite the distance they tried to make. Both scrambled out of bed when they realised.

"S-sorry" John apologised

"Yeah, me too" Roger had a confused expression on his face as he went off to get dressed for the day

After the show that night, they all went back to the hotel after saying their goodnights to one another. This was the usual tour routine if they weren't traveling around every night.

"The crowd were louder than last night" John stated

"Yeah, it was good" Roger reflected on the night they just had

"I'm going to bed now, goodnight" John smiled briefly

"Night night, I won't be long until I do too, I'm just going to put some plasters on my hands" Roger looked at his scratched up palms

True to his word, Roger didn't take long to join John in bed. Tonight, however, he built a wall of pillows between them so they wouldn't wake up like they did this morning.

Saturday

There wasn't any show for Queen tonight so they had the opportunity to sleep in for most of the morning. That was Roger and John's plan anyway. Well, until they realised they were in each others arms again. Neither could sleep after that. Roger's plan to have a pillow wall failed. Why were they subconsciously clinging on to each other?
