A/N: Sorry children, I've been busy. And neglecting fanfiction. Don't kill me or anything… that'd be sad. I promise to write more often. Because The new Harry Potter book inspired me to read HP fiction and then I was like "Askhssfhjks! I should write more about Mr. Jones and Mr. Mooneyham." and then me and my boyfriend, best friend and her boyfriend all watched School of Rock and I sadly knew every word. Kbye.
A blond boy woke in a small room to face a Metallica poster taped lopsided on a plain white wall.
"Where the hell am I?" Freddy Jones asked himself, rubbing his eyes. "I was just having a hell of a dream. Where's Zack?"
"That really skinny boy that's been hanging around here?" Asked a skinny, orange-looking woman with too much eyeliner and not enough buttons buttoned up on her nurses dress.
"That skinny boy has a name. His name is Zack and he's not just anyone. Who are you?" Freddy asked curiously. He was still offended by the ugly middle-aged nurse who had insulted his oh-so-precious Zack.
"Not just anyone, eh? Boys. So you're gay? Oh, Mr. Jones, you like it up the ass?"
"Excuse me? Are you my new nurse?"
"Indeed. It would seem that way, wouldn't it?" The woman was now preparing to remove the clunky cast on Freddy's leg.
"Can I please request a new nurse?"
"Why would you do that, doll?" Her smile was short-lived and sarcastic. She looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"You just asked me if I liked it up the ass!"
"Well what with that skinny kid (should've guess he was one of you fags when he was in here the other day) in here all the time. So do you like it up the ass?"
"Zack!" Freddy noticed the tall boy in the doorway, hair in his eyes. Looking more beautiful than ever, as always. "Save me."
"Wait, did I miss something? Did that weird lady just ask you if you liked it up the ass?" Zack asked, barely glancing at the nurse hurrying about the room and sterilizing things on her cart.
"I want a new nurse. Get out, whoever you are."
"Oh I suppose it's time for proper introductions. My name is April. I will be your new nurse from now on until you are released in 5 days. Usually you'd be gone by now, for your information, but you currently have no relatives living in the area."
"Thanks for reminding me."
"Can Freddy please have a new nurse? How would I request that?"
"You wouldn't."
"Well, you'll see that Freddy'll get a new nurse by the time he leaves, ok? Fred, I'm going to go shopping, is it still ok that I wore one of your suits tonight? Your dad gave me his credit card and told me to go get us new clothes. Need anything?"
"Drum gloves?"
"You're gay."
"Not quite. But get me some clothes or something, I could use a new wardrobe."
"Later, I love you."
"I love you too." Said Freddy, glaring at this April lady as he replied.
Zack walked out of the hospital (which seemed to be his second home these days) with a smile on his face, knowing Freddy'd be sharing a bed with him tonight. Oh, could he imagine the possibilities. He hailed a cab to the nearest mall…yeah, so New York what the biggest shopping ever, but Zack wasn't Mr. Jones's real son and he did not to intend to run up the bills...that much. After his wife and daughter just dying, he knew Mr. Jones would need the money. Though not at all in a money crunch, and far far from it, funerals could be expensive…right?
Zack approached the busy and quite large shopping center. Looking around he wandered down the hall and floated into a store called…Guess Jeans? Looking around he quickly picked out two pairs of distressed fitted jeans for himself and Freddy and a few T-shirts which looked rather…Rocker preppy? He laughed to himself quietly as he took out Mr. Jones's credit card and payed the total of $287.57. So much for keeping the purchasing on the down low.
"Thank you for shopping at Guess? Jeans." said a short Asian woman handing Zack his bag. He walked out of the store and into a Hot Topic across the way. This seemed like much of a better choice for shopping for Freddy than Guess had.
He looked through racks and racks of clothes choosing a black collared shirt and some matching studded belts. He picked out a black and red hat for himself and a few more shirts for Freddy. He noticed a black fishnet long-sleeved top and was quite tempted to buy it for either himself or Freddy. Finally deciding he would he added it to the bundle of clothes he was carrying around. Grabbing a few new band shirts on the way, he set all the clothes on the counter to pay. the girl was down-right weird looking with no eyebrows and orange hair in dreads, but Zack could care less. He thanked her and walked back out into the mall.
Stopping to buy a Coke from McDonalds and sitting in a chair in the food court he was approached by 3 different girls. He told them off, he wasn't in the mood.
"Hey, you." Another girl approached and sat down across from him at the small round table.
"Erm, hey."
"My name's Kayleigh. I work at Hot Topic but I have the day off, what'd you buy?"
Zack, deciding she was nice enough pulled out the shirts, belts, and hat. "What do you think? I'm Zack, by the way."
"Those are some great finds, kid. Mind if I join you on the rest of your shopping trip?"
"Not at all, I'm getting pretty lonely actually. I'm only up here because my friendFreddy moved up here when his parents split 3 weeks ago. They got in a car accident, his mom and sister died. He's still in the hospital."
"So you were living with his dad before you came up here?"
"Well only a few days, since the accident was right after they all moved up here."
"Wow, that really sucks. You're really nice. It's a change from all the guys here, they're all so full of themselves."
"Thanks, I guess girls say that about me a lot back at home."
"Where exactly is home?"
"It's in the middle of Michigan."
"Wow, is it like….really remote? Do you actually have anything to do?"
Zack laughed. This girl had obviously not traveled far beyond New York. "Yeah, we find stuff to do. It's not like we all live off the fishing business and grow soy beans. Nope, that's the kids down there in Illinois."
"Really?" Kayleigh asked, eyes wide. She couldn't imagine actually working.
"I suppose in some places. Anyways, where should we go next? I should be getting back to the hotel in a few hours, Freddy's staying there tonight and we're going out to dinner with his dad."
"Well, let's get going. Want to go to Lucky Co. and H&M? They're right down here.."
"Alright." Zack replied, not minding the company of the dark-haired girl at all. She didn't look like the type to actually work at Hot Topic. She was far from looking like the woman that rang up his stuff.
"Oh look it's raining." The girl said conversationally.
"How can you tell? There aren't any windows in the mall."
"Well, since the ceiling is glass and all…"
Zack looked up, indeed the ceiling was made of glass. "That's pretty cool. When me and Freddy get a pimped out pad we should have glass ceilingss."
"Wow, you and this Freddy kid are really best friends. You're moving in together? And did you just use the word pimp? Wow, we're not friends anymore."
"Yeah, Freddy rocks. We've got the whole drummer/guitarist bond thing going on. Please don't run off because I used a gay word."
"You're all in a band?"
"Yeah, we're actually all in town."
"Awesome! I'm learning to play guitar myself, though I confess that I'm not too great at all."
"Oh really? How long have you been taking lessons?"
"Well my brother started teaching me about 3 months ago. We've gotten through 2 of those learning books. He had them on his shelf and I begged him to teach me."
"Wow, 2 books in 3 months? How often do you have lessons? That's a really good speed. That's great. I wasn't that fast of a learner."
"Well, we usually practice together about once a week." She was obviously flattered that Zack was impressed.
"That's great, did you say we should go in H&M?"
"Yeah, it's a great store." She said as they walked through the doors. "They have some really cool guy's stuff. See? Look at this shirt." Zack actually liked the army green shirt Kayleigh was holding up for him. "Isn't it cute? Here take a small."
Working their way through the store, the pair had found 7 T-shirts, 2 collared shirts, a jacket, and a pair of jeans. After they checked out, they headed a few stores down to a store called Lucky Brand Jeans only too find a few shirts Zack kind of liked, though they were a bit much for just have spending 500 dollars…They stopped in Carson's and bought two black hoodies and a new pair of Chucks for Zack who had left his at home on accident in the rush to get to New York.
"Did you find everything alright?" A saleswoman asked, ringing up their stuff.
"Yes, thanks." Grabbing the bag, Zack walked out. He felt something warm on his hand…Wait…Kayleigh was trying to hold his hand? What should he do?
Panicking, Zack almost pulled his hand away, before deciding it was just a friendly gesture. He grabbed Kayleigh's hand back and together they walked out of the mall.
"What a cigarette?" she offered, sitting down against the wall.
"I suppose. Thanks." He really should be getting home but he was holding Kayleigh's hand again and it was so small and soft…Which all 4 big bags next to him, Zack felt like an expert shopper. He couldn't wait to get back to the hospital to have Freddy make fun of him. FREDDY. At the thought of his perfect boyfriend the lanky boy jumped up and said a hasty goodbye to his new friend. When asked, he scribbled his phone number on the back of the girl's, not asking for hers in return. He hailed a cab and arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later.
"Zack? Wow, some major shopping you got done there. My dad brought all my old clothes back to the hotel. Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah. I feel bad for spending so much of your dad's money." The memory of Kayleigh worked its way back into Zack's thoughts and he blushed.
"Oh he came in here and said he hoped you were spending thousands. He wouldn't have given you no limit if there was one, don't worry about it."
"Alright. Your leg looks great. Ready to go?"
"Got to wait for my dad. He's in the bathroom or something."
On queue Mr. Jones walked back into the room whistling. "Ready, children? Off we go."
Freddy grabbed Zack's hand and they walked behind Mr. Jones and through the door. Arriving at the hotel 5 minutes later, Zack and Mr. Jones helped Freddy out of the car and into Zack's room. Zack forgot momentarily about Mr. Jones having a key to his room when he found 4 large boxes of Freddy's clothes on the floor.
"Well, you two get changed. Brad's going to be here in an hour to pick us all up." He closed the door behind him.
Freddy, not having the REAL chance to kiss his boyfriend in weeks, jumped on him, knocking Zack onto the bed. Within minutes they were both in their boxers and under the covers.
"Think we have time?" asked Freddy.
"No. Not at all."
"Ok." Freddy gently tugged Zack's boxers off and then his own, kissing Zack's neck and slowly sliding down towards Zack's bellybutton….Until he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Erm, what do you want?" Freddy yelled.
"Brad came a little early. Almost ready?"
"I suppose." Freddy and Zac both pulled on their boxers and Freddy riffled through the boxes until he pulled out two black suits and two ties.
They hurriedly pulled them on, still both with raging hard-ons.
Zack laughed. "Haha, Freddy, I can see your boner!"
"Shut up, I can see yours."
"Are you two READY yet?" Freddy's dad yelled impatiently from the other side of the door. Judging by his tone, he'd probably heard the entire conversation. Which was really only two lines.
Zack opened the door. "We're ready."
"You've got a boner."
"You interrupted." Freddy called from the room, walking up behind Zack.
A tall dark haired man cleared his throat behind Mr. Jones. He was tan and had stunning green eyes. "Why hello. I suppose you're Freddy and Zack."
"Nice to meet you, Brad." Freddy smiled, resting his chin on Zack's should and hugging him around the waist.
"Pleased to meet you as well, Freddy. I've heard so much about you." He winked.
"No you haven't! I like to neglect the fact I have a son with three expensive drum sets and a closet full of clothes he never wears."
"Agreed." Freddy said, winking back. "I'm neglected." He took Zack's hand and closed the room door. Together the four of themgot onthe elevator and walked through the lobby, getting quite a few blank stares as they went.
A/N: ahahahahaha I'm done! Well, of course Freddy's spending the night and Mr. Jones is likely to have a guest as well? Tralala, have a lovely evening and I expect every single one of you to review!
