Once Bitten Twice Shy
1/10/21 19:39Nexus Prompt: 2. You've been robbed! What was stolen and how does your character deal? Whether the guilty party is known or not is up to you.
Gilly and Hunter were out in Los Angeles shopping because today was a day off from the stage performances from all three bands. The drummer and his taller Swedish boyfriend getting certain looks given to them by passers by since they were holding hands and obviously a couple. Hunter just shot these people glares whilst Gilly shot them a tarty expression. As they turned the corner down the street to purchase some new clothes the drummer felt something touch his back. Or rather his back pocket of his jeans. He stopped in his tracks and Hunter shot his lover a confused look.
"I think someone touched my back--"
The drummer felt his back pocket and realised his wallet wasn't there anymore. Oh god. He'd been robbed! Gilly felt tears well at the corner of his eyes because all his money and belongings were in that wallet. Not only that but photos of Hunter that were special to him. Gone. Some bastard had robbed him.
"My wallet---it's gone! Some bastard has robbed me...what am I going to do? Oh no..."
Hunter was furious. His head snapped around to see if he could spot the thief through the crowds of people now milling around the pair. Damn it. The Swede then spotted someone running away down one of the side alleys close by. Was that him? Grabbing onto Gilly's hand, the singer began running full pelt down the street chasing after the thief. How dare he rob his boyfriend! Turning the street the thief halted because he was now facing a brick wall. Shit. He'd planned it wrong obviously because he'd wanted to rob the blond drummer and make a quick getaway. Not now though. Hunter storming up to the guy, not afraid at all, as he quickly slapped the thief across the face.
What was he? Fifteen? A child. A street kid who thought it funny to rob an innocent man out for a walk. The thief clapped a hand to his face and gasped. This...man? At least the thief assumed it was a man had just smacked him in the face. He tried to duck away, still clutching Gilly's wallet in his hand but failed, since Hunter had blocked his path. Gilly standing back a little afraid because the kid might pull a knife or something.
"I believe that wallet belongs to Gilly here. Give it back, blomma. Or you will have a nasty bruise on that thick heads of yours in the morning."
The thief looked perplexed as he just laughed, sticking up a middle finger at the pair and trying to escape once more with the wallet. Hunter scowled, pulling off his heeled boot in a flash and hurled it at the thief. It hit him square on the forehead, causing him to let go of the wallet so he could nurse his cracked head. That would teach him. Hunter quickly snatching up the wallet and handing it back to Gilly, who took it quickly, stuffing it inside his jacket this time. The Swede was not dealing with this kind of crap whilst they were staying in LA with the rest of the bands. At least Ziggy wasn't here to have a tantrum and get even more angrier than Hunter because that would be bad indeed.
"That will teach you."
Gilly sticking his tongue out at the thief who was now trying to scrabble up the nearest brick wall with a huge bump on his head. Idiot. Hunter hugged his drummer who was visibly shaken up. At least it had all been sorted out.

Pets:
A cat back home called Fluffy.
Abilities/talents:
A keen percussion artist, Gilly has always been one for the drums since he was very young. He can also sing a little but not very well.

Personality:
Gilly can come off as a bratty tart first off but underneath all the bitchy exterior is a kind-hearted, shy and often sweet man. He is very sensitive and often hides secrets and problems, not wanting to share most of the time. He is quick to aggravate and often retaliates with tarty remarks and sass or slapping with his hand. His brother often pokes fun at his baby brother and Gilly can't help but fall for Billy's taunts every time. Gilly is fiercely loyal to his family and friends and wouldn't hesitate to defend them if the time came. Gilly still struggles with his sexuality and who he is right up to this present day but Hunter, his boyfriend, has helped him fight off his demons.

Growing up with his older brother, Billy, Gilly has had a relatively stable childhood whilst growing up with his mother and father in their council house. The family aren't that well off but Gilly's parents managed to get by doing their job of working for a local council doing gardening and manual jobs around the streets. It was all the work most could get coming from a working class background in the North of England.
Gilly got his first drumkit when he was around 5 and it was a child's sized one. He loved it and never stopped drumming throughout school. At 16 Gilly went to music college to learn percussion on a more professional level. He became interested in the glam rock scene which was becoming ever more popular among young musicians. At 21 he left music college and started scouting around local music halls and gigs to offer up his skills as a drummer.
Then, when he was 22 he met Ziggy and auditioned in becoming a Spider From Mars. Ziggy's band.

It had been a few days since Gilly and Ziggy had discussed going on a girly shopping trip together. The discussion back at the pub after the audition had really opened up the young drummer's mind to their singer and he realised that Ziggy was more similar to him in many ways. Back in the hotel now, Gilly had just come out of the bathroom after getting changed as he nearly bumped into Mick, who had been drinking heavily with Weird. Both men were drunk and it showed.
"Here's Gilly! Putting your dress on for going out are we, tarty?"
That earned the guitarist a slap to the chest from the drummer as Weird pulled Mick away from Gilly and shoved a full glass of gin in his hand. Sitting down next to their bassist, Mick winked at the drummer and was well and truly drunk. Gilly stuck a middle finger up at Mick and then stuck his tongue out after. It was all fun and games really. The band had bonded well over the past week and now it was Gilly's turn to spend some time with their singer. Where was Ziggy?
"Look after him won't you, Weird. Ronno is so fucking drunk he might piss his pants."
Mick looked up and laughed at that, shaking his head and drinking some gin. Gilly couldn't help but glance over at Mick and sigh inwardly. The man was very handsome but he could be such a stupid idiot at times. Such an oafish man. Yet, the drummer liked hot boys and Mick was one of them. It was his little secret crush.

Weird had decided to take up Aarne's advice and surprise Gloria in the hotel room with a bottle of sparkling wine. Nothing else though---no perfume or anything that would suggest he wanted to bribe her for sex. That wasn't what this was about. He was in love and he decided he wanted to take the next step in their relationship. That's if Gloria felt comfortable with it. He wasn't the kind of man to push a lady into anything and Gloria wasn't the type of woman to let a man do that.
Adjusting his tie on his shirt, he held the bottle of sparkling wine in his right arm as he knocked the hotel room. Just in case she wasn't decent. Weird was a gentleman after all and some things would never change. Out of all the band members in the whole hotel Weird seemed to be the most prude and proper. Even Mick would think this true.
"Gloria? Are you decent?"
Ok, time for the second date.
