Queen One Shots

🌈Cookies - Brian and Roger

A/N: I got some messages wanting a Maylor pride chapter soooo here we go!

BRIAN'S POV

John and Freddie have just left the studio so is was just me and Rog here right now. He looked distressed, panicked even. I've never seen him like this before.

I decided to confront him about it, "What's up?"

"The sky" he quickly came back with a jokey remark. I knew he did that as a defence thing, I wasn't going to let this slide

"Something is clearly wrong Rog" I stated

"Ok. I have something really important to say and it scares me to admit it and I'm scared how you will react, how everyone else will react but I've kept it a secret for so long but recently it's all I can think about and it's killing me inside and I need to admit it" Roger rambled quickly

"Go on then" I encouraged him softly. We were stood at either end of the studio, facing each other.

"I'm gay, Bri" he spoke in the smallest voice I've ever heard him speak in. Of course I accept him for who he is, I'm gay too but I've not told anyone. I only realised about a year ago but I've just haven't found the right way to come out.

"So? It doesn't change what I think of you Rog. I still love you the same" I went over and hugged him. Yes, I also secretly love Roger in more than just a friendly way. I never thought he'd be gay so I got over my feelings for him a while ago but they've suddenly come creeping back. Maybe I do finally have a chance with him.

"Thanks Bri" he sniffled

"Hey, don't cry. Come on! We'll have a coming out party if you'd like? If you don't feel up to telling Deaky and Freddie just yet then it can be just the two of us" I suggested

"That would be nice. What time?" Roger asked

"8pm, at my house" I replied. That would give me enough time to plan and execute something special for the drummer

"Alright. Thanks again Bri" Roger wiped his face with the palms of his hands before giving me a quick smile and leaving the studio

On the way home I passed a shop and decided to get some stuff for tonight. I got some drinks and snacks and suddenly had an idea as I passed the bakery isle. I got the supplies and quickly headed home so I can get this plan into action.

I was going to make Roger some cookies, 'gay' cookies. I know he'll find it funny at first but this is how I'm going to come out to him so I'm praying this goes well. Lots of things can go wrong from now until then. What if I burn the cookies? What if they taste bad? What if I wuss out? What if he freaks out?

I got dressed as the oven was baking the cookies. I settled on wearing some black jeans with a white button up shirt with a few buttons undone near the top. As I got downstairs and checked the cookies, I found that they were perfect. I took them out of the oven and started decorating them, writing 'GAY' on each one with big letters. They looked good, I was pretty proud of my creation.

Just as I was going to take a minute to relax, the doorbell went. I was surprised how quickly the time had gone. As I approached the door a wave of nervousness washed over me. Was I really ready to come out to Roger? Should I just hide the cookies and forget all about it?

No. I've got to do this.

I put on a brave and happy face as I opened the door to welcome Roger.

"You alright Bri? Have you been cooking?" Roger sniffed the air

"Yes and yes. Come on in, I've made you cookies" I smiled nervously

"I couldn't tell the others. I got scared. Anyway, I thought a night with just you would be pretty nice anyway" Roger said as we walked into my living room. I had the cookies displayed on the coffee table between my two sofas.

"That's fine" I nodded reassuringly

"Are these... gay cookies?" Roger laughed

I picked one up, "Yeah, you are what you eat" I said and I took a bite out of it

Roger stood there, jaw dropped to the ground.

"Are you trying to say something Brian?" He asked

"Yeah" I nodded, "I'm gay too"

"I won't let you be the only gay eating cookies. Gimme one!" Roger made grabby hands at me

I went to feed him one. Just as he went to take a bite, I pulled the cookie away and replaced it with my lips. Roger froze for a second and in that second I regretted doing all of this. However, when he kissed me back, relief hit me like a truck.

"Jesus shit Brian" Roger laughed after we pulled away

"Yeah, my thoughts exactly" I laughed too. Not really believing my own actions

"So I'm guessing my feelings towards you are mutual?" Roger smirked

"If those feelings are absolutely in love, then yes" I put my hand up to his face and lightly stroked his cheek with my thumb. He pushed his face more into my hand and smiled happily

"I need to eat one of those cookies to see if you'd make a good husband" Roger teased

"Here" I actually gave him the cookie this time, silently hoping he would love it

"Mmm fucking marry me now!" Roger's face showed pure content

"Do I pass?" I quizzed with raised eyebrows

"A* my friend" Roger patted his stomach

"Can we make that... boyfriend?" I asked timidly

"Absolutely!" Roger shouted out, "Brian May is my boyfriend!"

"You're so strange, I love it" I grinned, hugging Roger and pulling him on top of me

"I love you, boooyfriend" Roger dragged out the word before kissing me on the cheek

"I love you too, boooyfriend" I mimicked him, pulling a face for added emphasis.

"Also, I'm jealous of how you came out" Roger laughed

I laughed too, "We can come out to Freddie and John like that if you want? I can save a few cookies and we can give each other one and say you are what you eat' in front of them" I suggested

"You might need to make new cookies because I plan to eat all of these within the next 10 seconds" Roger then took the whole plate off of the coffee table and tucked into the cookies

I shook my head at him and laughed. This is exactly why I love him.
