*Chris*
Finally, another day off.
It felt like we've been on stage for more than a week straight. I swear, I'm still even seeing black spots from the stage lights last night blinding me!
Something I'd think I would be used to it already, but even after many years it can still be a pain.
Briar has been back on stage performing, and better than ever.
I guess the humidity back in Florida just got to her after being away from so long.
Luckily though she was good as new and the crowd was loving her more and more as she performed.
She even considered since she took gymnastics once that she can practice again so that one day she can do so some aerials or hoops for when we perform AMERICA on stage. I told her I would definitely keep it in mind.
Tour ends in 2 weeks, so we're looking forward to being home for a while before we finally start preparing for the European leg of the tour.
It was early in the morning and right now we were all relaxing in our hotel rooms, plans of either sleeping in or going around town.
We were in Denver at the moment since we flew in from Dallas late last night since the flight got moved up to nearly 4 hours after our show due to complications, cutting the meet and greet a little short.
We all got some serious jet lag from the plane and landed in Dallas completely drained.
Luckily, Briar and I managed to sleep off our jet lag and went to the gym early to work out a little before heading back to our room to wash up for a breakfast date.
She showered first while I went second and she started to get ready, music playing outside.
I soon finished showering and wiped the water off my face as I climbed out, grabbing a towel and drying off.
I towel dried my hair and then heard something outside and suddenly got curious.
"Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again...."
I finished drying my hair before wrapping my towel around my waist and stepping outside.
I peered over and noticed Briar by the bedroom mirror, her hair and make up stuff spread out before her. She one of my tanks and booty shorts, and was swaying to the music as she curled her hair with my hair iron.
Bluebell was asleep on the nearby armchair, indulging in the new traveling and hotel life she's been spoiled with lately.
That's when I realized Briar was singing along to the song, which is what I heard.
(Video: The Cure "Love Song")
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
I couldn't help but smile as I watched her dance and sing along, at times using the hair iron as a microphone.
Wow.... Her voice is so.... I never heard anything like that....
She was in her own little world as she danced around, singing happily to herself.
God, how is she so fucking cute!?
I leaned against the edge of the door as I watched her.
"However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you."
"Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again..."
I smirked and slowly walking over.
"You're really good," I said.
She suddenly screamed and jumped in surprise, dropping the curling iron on her foot and making her yelp and fall to the ground, a sleeping Bluebell jumping in surprise and I even jumped, too, as Briar held her foot.
"Fuck, sorry, I'm sorry!!" I said, rushing over to her.
"I'm okay, I'm okay," she said, hissing as she looking at the small red spot on her foot.
"Shit, I'll get you some ice, here," I said, quickly unplugging the curling iron and then scooping her up and carrying her to the bed.
Her eyes then widen and she looked up. "Chris.... Look down...."
I furrowed my brows and looked down, and froze.
My towel fell....
"Shit!" I exclaimed and quickly grabbed a pillow and covered myself.
"I am so, so sorry," I said, and quickly went to the freezer, pillow over my crotch.
All of a sudden, Briar burst out laughing, making me stop and look to see her covering her mouth and laughing.
I scoffed with furrowed brows. "What's so funny?"
She just giggled. "Just the whole situation, " she giggled. "Its pretty funny!"
I thought about it and couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah," I laughed. "Though a girl giggling after seeing a guy's junk hurts a bit, you know."
She laughed again as I quickly got my towel and wrapped it around my waist again. "Sorry," she laughed. "If its any consolation, you've got a great package."
I laughed. "Thanks," I laughed. "So I've been told."
She giggled softly as I then went to grab some ice for her foot, wrapping it in a nearby paper towel before bringing it back to her.
"How's your foot?" I asked, sitting next to her.
"Its fine. Just stings a tiny bit, that's all," She said.
"Here," I said, putting ice over the pink spot. "You should be fine."
"Thanks," she smiled.
I smiled as I pressed the ice carefully over her foot, Bluebell then approaching us, looking displeased.
"Sorry for the scare, Bluebell," I said.
"Meow....." she grumbled, trotting off from the bedroom.
Briar giggled. "How long did you stand there?" she asked curiously.
"O-Ohh, umm.... A while....." I chuckled shyly. "I heard you after my shower."
She blushed furiously and looked away.
"Briar, you have an amazing voice," I said. "Where did you learn how to sing like that?"
"I-I don't really know, it... It just comes to me," she shrugged shyly.
"Well, you sounds amazing," I said, then had an idea. "Hey, how would you feel about a singing a song on stage with me?"
Her eyes widen in surprise and she quickly shakes her head. "No, no way, I.... Chris, its not my show, its Motionless's show."
"Babe, its fine, it'll still be an MIW show," I said. "Just with something new."
She seemed hesitant. "I-I don't know..." She said. "I-I mean... I get nervous enough having to dance on stage.... Singing is something completely different.... Plus, people would think I'm trying to make a career for myself out of your own, which isn't true..."
"Maybe they will, but who cares? It'll be fun. You can sing duets with me, like Contemptress or Wasp, or any other song!" I encouraged. "One song, and if it doesn't work out than we don't do it again."
"You already sing duets with Ricky," She said, then sighed. "I-I don't know, Chris...."
"Bri, come on, you really are an amazing singer," he said. "I would be at your side throughout the entire time."
She sighed, trying to think as she moved the ice pack aside. "Its a lot to think about, Chris....."
I sighed softly as I tried to think of something.
"Should I tickle you into saying yes?" I smirked playfully.
She looked over and narrowed her eyes at me. "You wouldn't...."
I laughed. "I would.... Anything to persuade...." I said, smirking at her as I moved a little closer.
She looked up, then her eyes widen in realization. "So.... You plan to flirt and seduce me in order to convince me to join you on stage for a duet?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and tilting a head.
I thought about it. ".... Well, when you put it that way, it sounds wrong...."
She giggled and then smirked over at me, a playful glint in her.
"Some persuasion does sound like something I could use...." she said cheekily.
My eyes widen at her response.
Okay, sort of wasn't expecting that.....
"I mean, do you need some persuasion?" I asked her.
She smirked and moved over, her face closer to mine. "Depends..... Whatcha got to offer me?"
I chuckled and smirked down at her, seeing she's chosen to be playful. "I-I can think of a few ideas...."
She looked up at me playfully before climbing up on my lap, straddling my waist as she brushed her fingers through her hair.
"Then surprise me " she challenged.
"Sure you wanna go down that road?" I asked.
"Don't you?" she smiled, then looked at me mischievously with a pout. "Or... Are you suddenly too scared?"
My eyes widen in surprise.
Oh... So that's how its going to be...
I then snickered and grabbed her waist, tossing her onto the bed before climbing over her as she laughed, our faces closer to each other as I stared into her bright blue eyes.
"Go ahead.... Convince me," she smirked playfully.
"Bri, you playing with fire," I warned.
"You did start it...." she smiled. "So finish it."
I smirked as I then pressed my lips against her's.
She wrapped her arms around my neck as I crawled over on top of her, laying her on the bed as we continued to make out.
I then slowly started trailing my lips down her neck, making her moan out and her nails dig hard into my back.
Ouch....
I groaned into her neck as I continued to trail my lips down her body, my hands slipping down her body.
"You sure?" I mumbled as I continued.
"Yeah," she moaned, then pulled the towel off me.
I smirked and then started to pull her clothes off, tossing them aside.
She was a little shy, but seemed to ease up and pull me into a kiss.
I slowly trailed a hand down and the gently slipped a finger inside her.
"O-Ohh...." She moaned softly, adding a few more scratches to my back.
I continued kissing and nipping down her neck as I thrusted my finger in and out of her, adding another one.
"G-God, Chris....." she groaned. "D-Don't stop...."
I smirked and kept going, soon getting three fingers in, her moans getting louder.
Soon I pulled out and was about to lean down to finish, but she stopped me.
"N-No teasing," she moaned into the kiss as our bodies grinded against each other.
I smirked as I then reached over to my bag on the floor, rummaging around before I found a condom.
"You ready?" I asked her.
She smiled and nodded as I rolled the condom on....
*Ricky*
My eyes opened as I heard something coming from the wall near my bed.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
I groaned as I sat up on my bed. "What the....?" I mumbled.
"What the fuck is that, dude?" AJ groaned, covering his head with his pillow.
"That's from Chris's room," I said, now confused.
Then I heard it.
Screaming and moaning.
"Oh my fucking god...." I said in realization.
"Are those two seriously fucking at 7 in fucking the morning," Shane snarled.
"Why, just.... Why.....?" Vinny whined sleepily.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
They continued screaming and moaning, causing Shane to throw a shoe at the wall.
"Chris is an animal, no matter how much he denies it," I groaned, moving away from the wall with my pillow and blanket.
"Well it sounds like that animal is about to have poor Briar limping on stage tomorrow night," AJ grumbled sleepily.
I groaned and buried my head under my pillow as I tried to go back to sleep.
Uuuuuuuugggghhhhhh........
*Briar*
For sure the guys next door are not gonna be happy about that wake up they got..... Hehe.....
I rested my head against Chris's chest as I curled up next to him, his arms holding me close while he stroked my hair.
"So much for breakfast, I guess," I chuckled, pulling the sheet closer over my chest.
He chuckled softly, looking down at me. "I'm sure we can make it later."
I chuckled and curled up closer to him.
"So, was I able to convince you?" Chris asked me with a playful smirk, tracing circles on my hip.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Maybe a little...."
He chuckled. "You really do have an beautiful voice, Bri," He murmured.
"I don't really think so, honestly," I sighed, tracing the tattoos of the haunted house on his chest before leaning up and kissing his jawline.
He raised an eyebrow in disbelief at me. "You kidding? I've worked with Maria Brink before, and even she would agree that your voice is really something else."
I looked down shyly, blush creeping across my cheeks.
"I'm serious, babe, you are an awesome singer," he encouraged.
I looked up at him. "You really do think so?" I asked.
"Absolutely...." he said. "Of course, I understand if it makes you nervous.... I actually wouldn't obligate you.... Despite the persuasion we just had..."
I couldn't help but giggle, then smiled.
"Okay.... I'll sing on stage with you.... But if it doesn't work out, I stay dancing at your side," I said.
He chuckled and leaned down, kissing my forehead.
I smiled and looked up at him, then relaxed into his arms.
"I, uhhh.... This may be random, but...... I know you've been a little on edge lately since you found out about my identity being stolen years ago," I said.
He furrowed his brows and and sighed, softly reaching over and tucking a strand of my hair behind his ear.
"I-I just want to know if you're safe...." He said. "I mean, of course I will protect you always, but.... I want to also make sure you're never in danger...."
"Babe," I said, holding his hand close to my chest as I took it in mine. "I promise, nothing is gonna happen. I'm safe, especially with you...."
He smiled as we leaned in and kissed me passionately.
"I love you," I smiled at him.
"I love you, too..." He smiled.
I smiled as I curled up, resting my head on his shoulder.
"We can get up in an hour for breakfast," Chris chuckled as he wrapped his arms around me.
"That's a good idea.... Means more cuddles with you," I smiled, nuzzling his neck.
He laughed softly and kissed my head, stroking my hair softly as he held me close, and soon we both drifted to sleep for a little bit.
I'm safe with him.... I know I am....

I figured some slight smut, mostly because I've had a bit of writer's block, but this also helped add some humor, and helped me a little with my writer's block.
Meaning I should be updating more regularly soon, so fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
I do feel this chapter is a little bit skipped in some parts, and more of a filler, so if anything I'll probably be fix it from time to time. 🤷🏻♀️
Sorry if it turned out a bit disorganized, and I hope you all still like it. 🌻
