Shopping Trip with Ziggy [for ziggyplaysguitar]

[wherewere_thespiders]

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.

Ziggy had finally made it over after fretting over an outfit. Part of him wanted to wear something feminine to allow Gilly to feel more masculine but then they risked more harassment. Eventually he went with a suit; slim fitting black pants which did have embroidered and sequined patterns but they were understated, black silk shirt and a black and white striped blazer. Even the shoes were understated black and white heeled loafers. It was still a slim cut, feminine enough for Ziggy but probably masculine enough to save them from harassment.

"Or fall down and tear them. You might want to keep some pins on hand." Ziggy giggles as he steps into the room, teasing the two drunks a little more while he was able. He noticed the look at Mick and had the same kind of feelings. Ziggy's heart skipped when he saw Mick but the guitarist just keep pushing him away so Ziggy had given up.

[wherewere_thespiders]

Gilly liked what Ziggy was wearing and thought it very suitable for their shopping trip together. It was masculine but feminine at the same time. Perfect for a walk down the street next to the drummer who was dressed in a white jacket with matching pants and a dusky pink shirt. He also wore white loafers too.

"Did you hear that, Ronno? Ziggy says you might fall over and bust your pants again. Silly boy."

The tarty drummer giggled and offered Mick's fluffy hair a ruffle which caused the guitarist to slap Gilly's hand away. He was drunk and went to get up to slap the drummer's shoulder but instead near fell into Weird, who grabbed Mick and placed him back down into his seat.

"You can hardly stand. Weird, has he drunk all the fucking gin yet? Greedy pig."

Gilly was enjoying this but secretly he liked having Mick punch and poke him. The man was hot but totally oafish at times. Ziggy must have realised that too. Mick just offering both drummer and singer drunken smiles. He sat back in the chair and kept his eyes on Ziggy, loving what he was wearing. He looked so hot and he couldn't even think straight right now.

"You look sexy, Ziggy. That jacket suit---it's nice on you. Gilly is a fucking tart."

Mick then hiccupped and giggled drunkenly. Weird would have his work cut out it seemed.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

Ziggy was getting overrun by emotions. The flutter of jealousy when Gilly touched Mick without a bad reaction and then the even deeper flutter of his heart when Mick sad he was sexy. His cheeks pinked as he smiled.

He took a chance and leaned down to give Mick a playful kiss on the cheek l, trying to pass it off as platonic despite his emotions.

"You will make sure my sexy guitarist doesn't hurt himself?" Ziggy asked Weird before turning to Gilly. "You can be a tart. I don't mind."

[wherewere_thespiders]

Mick jumped a little when Ziggy kissed him since he was drunk and not expected but oh---it felt good, so good. The blond wanted to say something but closed his mouth and just drank some more gin. What could he say? The singer was about to leave with the drummer on a shopping trip. Mick and Weird would spend the evening with one another and this was fine with the guitarist.

"I'll look after drunk Ronno here."

Weird nodded and smiled knowingly, shooting Mick a grin and knocking his shoulder playfully. They'd probably end up talking about girls or instruments or something. Gilly was giggling softly at the tart comment.

"Alright, shall we go then? Leave the drunken boys here to read dirty magazines or something."

Mick balling up some paper and chucking it at Gilly's head playfully.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"Thanks." Ziggy patted the bassist's cheek in thanks, flirting with him a little but this is playful and not at all serious.

Then Ziggy is laughing. "They'll pass out before then. I don't think Mick could even get up to get a magazine."

Still laughing Ziggy slipped his arm through Gilly's arm. "Come shopping with me cute little drummer boy."

He's teasing, half flirting with all of them. Well Mick wasn't playful that was dead serious.

[wherewere_thespiders]

"Ronno is fucking drunk. He'll probably pass out before Weird and end up snoring like a train."

Gilly giggled and then looked down at Ziggy's arm slipped through his own. That caused the drummer to blush and look down at his feet a little. The singer was much like a girlfriend to Gilly in the way that another girl would have a female friend. Girly shopping trips and things. As they both left the room and walked down the hotel corridor, Gilly glanced behind at their room and smiled to himself.

"That Ronno---do you think he's really sexy? I mean---he's a good looking bloke even if he is a fucking blond bastard at times."

The drummer trying to hide that he liked Mick but it was failing. It was more a crush than anything else.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

Ziggy was looking forward to this shopping trip though as the Drummer started to speak Ziggy's brow went up. Then he blushed and giggled, lowering his voice.

"He's got really hot arms and the way he laughs." Ziggy felt his body flutter with lust. "I'd make out with him but he's not interested in me."

And the Anthean could only sigh at the admission. He was madly in love with someone who didn't really want him and it hurt. "We don't need our guitarist running away again."

[wherewere_thespiders]

Gilly was also looking forward to the trip and was feeling more comfortable now that it was just him and Ziggy. He felt as if he could say things more openly than if Ronno or Weird were in the same room. Private things.

"He does have nice guitarist arms. I sort of stare at them when he gets changed in the dressing room. Also, he has a hot fucking ass. I just----I think he's hot. A crush, nothing else though."

The drummer's eyes went wide at his admission and he immediately blushed deeper. Fuck. Did he just say that? Ziggy also liked the guitarist it seemed but the singer's was more like love than just lust. Ronno running away---was it because he had panicked over something?

"I saw Ronno run away that time. The bloke must have been scared or something."

[ziggyplayedguitar]

Ziggy laughed nervously and then shook his head. "His ass when he puts a foot up on a chair and bends over. I almost choked on my drink once. I want to bury my face in his hair when he brushes it."

Ziggy had it bad for the guitarist and it showed in how he flushed and the way his voice changed. All he could do was look down at where his arm was interlaced with Gilly's as he felt the disappointment and hurt well up inside, clenching in his chest as he thought about Mick running away.

"I.. I told him he was handsome and... he didn't... doesn't like it so much he ran away from the band." Ziggy felt like he was going to cry but he just bit his lip. Why was it that his feminine behaviors rushed to the forefront so strongly when he thought of Mick? Taking a deep breath he looked up again as they stopped at the elevators to wait. "I had to beg him to come back and.. we were assaulted by some people because of what I look like."

Ziggy leaned into the drummer and watched the numbers on the elevator. "It happens a lot because of what I look like; people attack me or get upset and leave." he shrugged a little, grateful that the elevator dinged and they could get inside. He was so upset he forgot that he was going to make himself sick getting into the elevator.

[wherewere_thespiders]

"I like it when he pulls his jacket off and you can see his ab muscles. His hair is nice too."

Gilly felt a little better now that he was talking about liking boys and talking about his crush on Mick. It made the drummer feel more natural about his feelings with Ziggy whereas before he'd bottled them up all this time. Boys who likes other boys often got beaten up.

"Fuck. That's rough. Weird and me---we didn't know where you two had gone after Ronno ran out of the door. We guessed you'd chased after him but we didn't know some fucking bastards had attacked you. I would have slapped them and kicked them for beating you and Ronno up."

Even though the drummer was shy he had a filthy trashmouth on him and a mean slap and kick. Hurting his band mates was not on. How could anyone attack Ziggy like that? It was fucking wrong.

"At least you've got us to watch your back now. No fucker will attack any of us since we'll all defend each other."

Gilly offered Ziggy a smile as the elevator dinged and he found himself squeezing the singer's arm in support. It must be hard for someone like Ziggy to love Mick and be shrugged off because he wasn't interested. Trying to lighten it slightly as they walked into the elevator, Gilly giggled slightly, blushing once more.

"Have you had dreams about sleeping with Ronno? I sort of have."

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"He lets me brush his hair." Ziggy sighed out a breath after because he could only think about touching it now. "It's like silk."

He would never let the drummer be harassed for liking boys. Sex was important to life and fulfillment.

"It was mostly words but I thought they might hit us." Ziggy smiled a little. "I bitched them out until they cried like babies."

He had done more than bitch but that was enough of an explanation. He couldn't let them know what he was yet, maybe not ever. He didn't want to think about it though and grinned. "If anyone bothers you I'll claw their eyes out."

He wanted his band to feel safe and connected. His hand slid over Gilly's, where he was squeezing, as they stepped into the elevator. He could only laugh as he pushed the button and stepped back into the corner of the elevator to hep with the queasiness.

"All the time." Ziggy giggled. "I've never had dreams this dirty. He's so fucking sexy."

[wherewere_thespiders]

"He does? Oh well, that would make sense. We all help each other do our hair and make-up in the dressing room. Weird usually helps me with mine."

Was Gilly secretly a little bit jealous? Yes, he was. But he didn't want any bitterness between himself and Ziggy so tried to shrug off his jealousy. They could both admire Mick from a distance because it seemed neither of them would ever get the man. The handsome but sometimes dumb blond.

"They shouldn't hit a girl. Fucking cowards. You bitched them? I would have scratched their eyes out."

This was after Gilly hurled abusive insults at them first of course. The famous tarty trashmouth would be on full form. At Ziggy's words the drummer blushed. Leaning his back against the elevator wall, Gilly sighed a little and looked to Ziggy. The singer was so tall. Everyone knew it but being up close to him made Gilly feel very small indeed.

"Dirty dreams? I've had some of those too. Some too dirty to mention. He is so sexy and I bet he fucks rough."

The drummer giggling at that outburst.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"You should let me do yours sometime too." He could feel the jealous and understood it all too well. Mick was into women and they were both seen as men. He sighed heavily trying to distract himself from teh illness of the elevator ride.

"They didn't hit me but I thought they would." Ziggy admitted and rubbed his hand, still thinking about his last band. Ziggy gasped at the thought of Mick that Gilly was bringing to mind.

"I imagine him putting me against the wall sometimes." Ziggy admitted. "I bet he can fuck all night with how muscled he is."

The conversation was getting Ziggy hot all over and he had to stop. While Gilly was gigging Ziggy found his breath quickening as the elevator slowed at the main floor.

[wherewere_thespiders]

"You want to brush my hair? Well---ok. I mean no one else has but I'd let you do it."

Gilly smiled and then noticed Ziggy rubbing his hand. There was trauma there and the drummer could tell it bothered the singer. Fucking thugs. Why couldn't they just leave people like Ziggy alone? The gasping had Gilly smirking and holding in another giggle. His head was full of dirty thoughts about Mick too.

"Against the wall? That's hot. I dream of him pinning me to my bed and having his way with me. His muscles are so fucking sexy."

The drummer blushed a deep red and couldn't believe they were talking about fucking their guitarist in a public elevator. Gilly's own pulse now racing at all the erotic thoughts regarding Mick.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"I'd let you brush mine but there isn't enough." He ruffled his own spikey red hair. Even if there were moments of annoyance, Ziggy did adore the guitarist and his attitude.

"He's not bad anywhere." Ziggy laughed a little as he saw and felt the blush. "Every time he walks into a room in just his underwear I feel faint."

He could only shake his head as they stepped out of the elevator. "Where are we going first?"

[wherewere_thespiders]

"I think your hair is pretty. I mean it's different. Weird and me we've talked about Mick's hair and yours. The red is a really bright colour."

The drummer taking a moment or two to stare at Ziggy's hair before stepping out of the elevator. The shopping trip. Gilly's head had been obsessing about Mick and sex and now he needed to think where to go first. Pushing some of his own hair back with a slight hair flick, the drummer brushed down his jacket slightly.

"How about clothes shopping first?"

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"Oh?" He wondered what they had been talking about. "It's natural. Shocks a lot of people when I get undressed."

It was a small jab at himself for a good bit of humor. "I like your hair too. Is it naturally fluffed?"

He briefly touched the drummer's hair as he nodded. He needed to get away from the thoughts of Mick too before he had clothing issues. "I know this great place that has suits and shirts. Nice brights and silks. It's close enough to walk if you want or we can take the limo."

[wherewere_thespiders]

"Yeah, it's all natural. I only apply a small bit of product to keep it in it's shape otherwise it ends up looking like a fucking scarecrow."

Gilly laughed and then blushed when Ziggy touched his hair. Not many people had touched it before and the drummer was still getting used to their singer's touchy feely ways. He liked it though. Trying to focus on their trip instead of Mick's ass, Gilly nodded.

"We can walk if you like. The fresh air might do us some good after talking about Ronno naked."

The smaller drummer wanting to hook his arm through Ziggy's like he would a female friend but he knew they couldn't. Not in public. Two men doing that would get thugs and bastards attacking them.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"You should see my hair first thing in the morning." He laughed a little and was glad to get close to the drummer.

He was touchy when he was close to someone, open and affectionate. The blush had the singer giggling as they walked across the lobby.

"We need to stop reminding each other of his hot ass." Ziggy leaned in laughing and the feminine behavior rising to the surface quickly. He noticed that the drummer pulled away when they got in public.

"You can keep your arm there." He looked around at the other people and shrugged. "We'll bitch their ears to bleeding if they say anything."

[wherewere_thespiders]

"We do. Oh. But---people might stare or insult us. I don't want you getting attacked like before. We could just bitch at them though----yeah."

Gilly wasn't sure but then nodded and threaded his arm through Ziggy's once more, grateful that the singer was happy to tart at anyone back. The drummer would give them hell if anyone came at them. Being small didn't mean Gilly couldn't bitch slap or kick if need be. What about Ziggy? He could probably deliver a mean kick with those long legs of his.

"Let's go and find some sparkly clothes to wear."

The blond's feminine side showing a little more as he offered Ziggy a sheepish smile.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"Let them stare." Ziggy got sassy and winked. ""You're a hot drummer with a beautiful red head on your arm. Of course they are going to stare."

He giggled and took the arm happily. If things got bad, the Anthean had an ace in the hole that no one would expect. He wasn't afraid at all.

"This way." There was a store a couple of blocks up that had such glam and stylish clothes. Ziggy looking forward to some new pants but they had a lot of things the drummer would love too. "What's your favorite color?"

[wherewere_thespiders]

"You're right. Let the bastards stare. We're fucking rock stars and should be allowed to do this sort of thing in public."

Gilly nodded and took Ziggy's arm, holding the singer close. If anyone tried to throw things at them or hit them they'd be in for a nasty shock. The drummer followed along to where Ziggy was taking them both and found himself smiling at the prospect of finding some sparkly shiny clothes.

"Oh uh---pink? I do like light blue too. Pastels shades mostly."

Not many boys liked pink and Gilly knew his brother made fun of him for liking it but Gilly didn't care. He was into pink and knew what he liked.

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"Everyone should be allowed to do this in public." Ziggy corrects gently. That was part of the reason he acted the way he did, for the good of everyone, but mostly because that was who he was, always had been.

"We like similar colors." Ziggy says with a little excitement. "I like crimson and bright turquoise." If anyone made fun of the drummer in front of Ziggy there would be hell to pay. "Maybe we can find some pastel colored boots?"

[wherewere_thespiders]

"You're right. It's just----I've never thought about being free to do this sort of thing before. Back home where I live if two boys did what we are doing now? We'd get beaten up and called queers or something."

Gilly sighed. This was the fact of the matter. Probably why Ronno ran too when Ziggy touched him on the shoulder and called him handsome. Fuck social norms! The drummer smiled shyly and nodded.

"Crimson suits you with your bright hair. Turquoise makes a nice balancing colour too. I sew sometimes when my clothes get torn or I get loose threads. My older brother used to pick on me for it."

Billy didn't mean it in a nasty way just as brothers did.

"Boots? Yes. I'd love some."

[ziggyplayedguitar]

"It's the same here but someone has to change it." Ziggy sighed while his eyes, and mostly his senses, watched the surroundings. "Someone has to stop being afraid of the bullies and bullshit."

He's not going to backdown because it is wrong and unfair to tell people in love to hide it. While Ziggy understands the normal limitations, like no sex in public.. whether or not he follows it, outlawing or condemning affection wasn't fair.

"I make most of my clothes." Ziggy mentions. "Do you know how to tailor? If not I can teach you."

He felt like an older sister all the sudden and it made him smile as he spotted the store in question down the street and pointed it out.
