Rock Star

Chapter 10

They had been there a couple of months now and America had been everything Ste had hoped it to be and more. Cheryl had managed to secure him a job working for the crew as a chef on the catering team which he loved. He missed working in the restaurant and doing what he loved most. Brendan had loved it too, besides it giving him just another excuse to see Ste he got to indulge his other love, food.

Ste had gone along with the band to a recording studio and watched them at work recording a new album. Thought it was mind-blowing how amazing they all sounded. Brendan had a husky Irish voice that made him shudder. He watched his passion belting out songs into the microphone, catching his gaze every now and then and beaming wide when Brendan sang to him like they were the only two there.

They'd spent time with the guitar lessons too, Brendan teaching him all he knew and now Ste was really good and could hold his own playing songs. Simon sometimes took over and showed Ste newer more complex rock songs as Brendan looked on with a jab of jealousy. Ste teased him over it, telling him, he was the only man for him. He preferred Simon teaching him anyway, as Brendan's lessons always ended up with the guitar strewn on the floor while Brendan showed him how to sing instead when he took him in their bed for hours. Ste found he had a great voice now too.

One day Brendan had the day to himself, a whole day they could spend together in New York, and Ste was beside himself with excitement. Brendan wore a baseball hat and sunglasses and managed to blend in swapping his trademark leathers and unbuttoned halfway down shirt for some blue ripped jeans and a t shirt.

Ste hadn't been able to take his eyes off him and Brendan smirked taking him in his arms and kissing Ste like there was no tomorrow. That's how they always kissed now, so passionately they forgot to breathe with it. Ste was falling so head over heels it literately knocked him off his feet, the roller coaster ride they'd been on from the start. He'd never in his wildest dreams thought he'd actually be with Brendan for real. It was all a dream.

They walked hand in hand to Times Square and looked around in awe of it. The only time Ste had seen this magical place was on New Year on the TV lit up with thousands of people cheering in the New Year and the fireworks and confetti. Now they were stood here early morning as revellers walked past on their way to work, or out shopping. Ste leaned on Brendan's shoulder and thought how amazing it would be to spend Christmas there, how the snow would look on the ground around them, the Christmas lights and large tree would be so festive it warmed your heart with it.

Ste thought of how bigger the place was in relation to the UK and even though he loved his home, he couldn't help the rising love affair he was having with America.

"Bren?" Ste nudged his nose into Brendan's jaw as they stood taking in the sights around them.

"Hmm"

"Do you ever think about the future?"

Brendan moved and held Ste by the hips and looked into his eyes, always trying to read his thoughts. "Sometimes I do yeah"

"Am I in it?" Ste couldn't help biting his lip and flicking his eyes rapidly staring back at Brendan, he felt his heart stop,the world around him quickening as more people moved all around them.

"Of course, I can't imagine my life without ye, and I never thought I'd say that about anyone" Brendan moved Ste in closer and let his lips trace the part of skin behind his earlobe and whispered "Am I in your future?" Brendan smiled and Ste felt it shock his heart back into a race against his matching breaths.

"Oh yeah, you are always in my thoughts Bren." Ste bit his lips again a habit only his nerves seemed to relish, except besides Brendan who took his bottom lip into his mouth and sucked him gently. Ste trembled "I've fallen for you, big time"

"Yeah?" Brendan leaned back to take in all of Ste,his flushed pink cheeks showed his vulnerable side,made him want to look after him,keep Ste warm in his hold always.

"Oh defiantly yeah" Ste caught his breath and swallowed it hard, the intense feelings bubbling inside his stomach had it flipping over at speed, he felt his legs turn to jelly and stumbled ever so slightly forcing Brendan to hold him tighter.

"Come here, I wanna show ye how much I've fallen" Brendan's words full of a delicious promise and kissed Ste licking into his mouth like he'd found the most addictive taste he could never get enough of. Brendan was completely in love with Ste and he was happy in the knowledge that no mater what happened in his career he would always have Ste by his side now. They broke off for a moment so Brendan could ghost his lips and speak breathless "I love ye" And Ste beamed starting the kiss again slower gentle and the sweetest kiss he ever knew was possible.

"We need to stop" Brendan gasped flicking his eyes from Ste's mouth and that tongue of his licking over his lips back up to his gaze "I'll be arrested the things I want to do to ye right now"

"Jesus, Brendan" Ste gasped closing his eyes and imagining Brendan's hands all over him. "I love you too"

"Later?" They both spoke and laughed in agreement sharing a close hug pressing their semi hard groins tightly together they groaned in frustration and heightened pleasure. Deciding to walk off their excitement they went around the many stores that littered the entire area around them and bought some souvenirs to take back for Sinead. Ste was disappointed he'd not found a man for her though, something she's have loved. Instead finding a postcard of a sexy guy wearing the American flag. He thought the sentiment was genuine and sent it to her in the post that very day.

Next stop was Liberty Island. They went to the statue of Liberty and stretched their necks to look at her in all her glory. It was a sight to behold and Ste took some photos, even getting passers by to get one of them together and laughing afterwards about it.

"Imagine if they knew who you were though Bren" Ste smiled looking through the photos and saving his favourite to screensaver.

"They probably wouldn't Steven" Brendan nodded "We are not that well known here, it's why I love the place, we can do this" Brendan grabs Ste's hand and interlocks their fingers bringing up his hand to kiss over him "And no one will care, or surround us taking photos"

Ste watched Brendan smoothing his lips over his hand and melted, he knew then Brendan really meant his words and loved him, he never felt so lucky in his life. "Maybe we should move here then?" Ste hadn't realised he'd said it out loud until Brendan had stopped the kiss and looked up in shock at him."I mean, we could think about it, if you wanted. Stupid idea sorry" Ste took his hand back and began walking away; Brendan however wasn't far behind him.

"Hey, what have I told ye about walking away from me?" Brendan snaked his arm around Ste as they stood looking over the water towards New York. "Here? In New York, or somewhere else?"

"What?"

"Where would we live?" Brendan smiled and glanced towards Ste whose mouth spread into an embarrassed smirk.

"Um, dunno. I love it here, but we haven't visited anywhere else have we?"

"Ok so we will, we have the rest of our lives Steven, and we shall visit every State until we find our perfect home" Brendan smiled and looked in deep thought nodding.

"Rest of our lives? That a proposal?" Ste joked and looked again over the water loving the view.

Brendan glanced back at Ste and felt his heart twinge he smiled and replied "Maybe" Grabbing Ste's hand he saw Ste's smile broaden and they stood in silence linking fingers squeezing each others hand in agreement.

"I wanna do it on stage" Ste spoke and held Brendan's hand walking backwards out onto the stage,it was empty except for the strobe lights with had been left on to map over the stage and seating area. They'd planned this a while ago,and managed to get the place to themselves,Ste was turned on by the whole thing,his rock star boyfriend and an entire arena all at their disposal. Ste turned and walked into the middle of the stage and looked out to the sea of seats and smiled hearing Brendan nearing him.

Brendan moved up behind Ste and moved his hands over Ste's body moulding it in his fingers and palms. Ste rested his head back on Brendan's shoulder,closed his eyes gasping feeling his button and fly pull open, Brendan reaching in his warm hand and gripping over his soft cock. Ste loved the feeling of his untouched, weakened length stroked from limp and the way Brendan's every finger movement made his cock spike and got him hard.

Brendan took his time fleeting touches,feeling Ste's dick getting bigger and spreading his fingers into a wider hold. He squeezed a little as he reached the head making Ste moan with it, Brendan moved back and slowly stroked again to the tip and squeezed and milked him thick and erect."That's it" Brendan kissed behind his earlobe softly purring into Ste's ear "Get hard for me baby"

Ste hummed in agreement his length pulsing Brendan thumbed over the slit where the pre come had dripped out and rubbed it over the head in circular movements. Ste turned around and Kissed Brendan, his cock stood tall from his undone jeans and boxers tucked under his balls. Brendan looked down and groaned looking at what he'd done to him and hardened himself as Ste returned the favour opening up his jeans and dragging his length erect in moments.

Ste moved to the drum stand sitting down and opening his legs wide so Brendan wouldn't have any doubt what he wanted. He growled, half thinking how exposed they would be, anyone could be watching, however highly unlikely that was, it gave him a rush anyway.

"Take them off" Brendan demanded and Ste removed his jeans and trousers, widening himself more stroking his hands up and down the insides of his thighs so he was completely on show. Ste slowly fingered himself after licking the tip of his finger and circled his hole in defiance. Brendan moaned dropping to his knees he crawled the rest of the way to Ste slowly, like a lion would stalk his prey before pouncing. Ste licked his lips watching him, they didn't lose eye contact and Ste pushed the tip of his finger in himself.

Brendan moved quickly and shoved his tongue into Ste's hole with it, lapping with Ste's finger he made soft moans feeling Brendan's tongue move inside him, tickling and teasing the tip, stretching out his hole as it clenched around Ste's finger. Brendan placed Ste's hands on either thigh and moved Ste wider, Ste held himself open so Brendan could bury his face deep between his legs, snaking his arms around to grab his backside and pull him closer, he worked his tongue inside Ste's entrance and painted his warmed walls in wet saliva.

When Ste was loose and stretched out,panting saying his name on breath,Brendan placed a condom on and moved the head of his dick deep inside Ste, it was tight but he'd licked him out long enough to create a nice slide in. Moving backwards and forwards Brendan made love to Ste on the stage, lights bouncing off them and around the arena, Ste's screams echoed around the thousands of seats.

Brendan moved his length languid to the tip and pushed harder inside hitting Ste's sweet spot and rubbed against it, danced over it until Ste was coming hard over his stomach and Brendan's palm. He licked his hand and kissed Ste so he could taste himself. Riding deeply though his orgasm and Brendan coming soon after once Ste had clenched and dragged over his dick with tightened force.

They held each other afterwards with Brendan firmly placed inside Ste as he clenched his hole over him smiling and making Brendan shake his head.

"What? I like feeling you in me" Ste giggled clenching again and wined when Brendan pulled out and trashed the condom getting up and pulling Ste to his feet they both got themselves decent again.

"Well, that was a first, never done that on a stage in my life!" Brendan chuckled looking out at the empty seats "And thank god they weren't around!"

"They'd have got their money's worth Bren" Ste winked. They wandered off the stage arms around their waists. As they were walking back through to the dressing rooms they heard a noise and looked up at each other puzzled. They wandered up the corridor as the noise got louder they realised it was a female voice.

"Is that, is that Cheryl?" Ste asked as Brendan widened his eyes in response "Jesus she sounds in pain, maybe Kevin's here?!" Ste began to panic knowing what the disturbed man was like.

Brendan rushed towards the dressing room door and the noise got louder and Brendan rushed in and there was a scream. Ste hitched a breath running over then seeing Brendan walk back out of the room and slam the door loudly. His face was twisted in anger and shock. Ste moved closer and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Bren...?"

"It..It's Chez"

"Oh god let me see, is she OK?" Ste moved to open the door but Brendan stopped him and shook his head.

"Simon's with her" Brendan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and walked away slowly.

"Simon? What do you mean, Simon's with her...OH" Ste bit his bottom lip glancing at the door again then walking after Brendan.

"You didn't know they were together, did you?" Ste sighed and then Brendan stopped and turned to look at Ste with disappointment.

"Ye knew?! And it didn't occur to ye to TELL me?" Brendan threw his hands around in front of Ste's face and then lifted up his back hand to him looking away.

"Wha...now hang on! I thought you knew! And besides, it's for them to tell you not me Brendan!"

"Oh so I'm the last to know huh? Only her brother." Brendan huffed away and Ste was angry and turned around walking down the corridor again and banged on the dressing room door till he got an answer from a dishevelled Simon.

"Are you two decent now?" Ste asked and Simon nodded and let Ste in, he saw Cheryl with her head in her palms.

"You didn't tell him? Why the hell not? He's hurt, upset and angry, and I don't blame him!" Ste pointed angrily at them both before seeing the upset in their eyes and relenting with a long sigh and rubbing his face.

"Ste please!" Cheryl sobbed catching her breath "I wanted to tell him, we both did, it just got more difficult as time went on!" Simon wrapped his arms around Cheryl and kissed her forehead.

"I should go find Brendan, explain" Simon sighed and looked over at Ste "I didn't mean to hurt him, he's my best mate"

"I get that Simon, but he is, he should have been the first to know, not the last" Ste shook his head in disbelief.

"I will go" Cheryl stood up and stroked her clothes neater "I need to find him, Ste where did he go?"

"He was heading towards his dressing room, so I'd start there"

Cheryl stood outside Brendan's dressing room,heart in her mouth and tummy filled with nerves. Cheryl gulped before lifting her hand knocking a pathetic bang on it. She heard Brendan's voice ask her to come in, he'd been expecting her and she felt a million times worse. Cheryl opened the door and saw Brendan sat on his sofa legs up and drinking from a glass. His usual whiskey fix as he swallowed it down in one looking over at Cheryl with hurt in his eyes.

"How long?"

"Months" Cheryl winced and perched on the edge of the sofa with him leaning into her knees "I am sorry ye found out like that, I promise we were going to tell ye"

"When ye was getting married? That when ye would have told me?" Brendan kicked his legs down and swung around to face Cheryl as she shook her head "No..I..."

"Christ, even Steven knew! Ye hate me that much, not to trust me with this?"

Cheryl moved forward towards her brother to protest then,she'd made a mistake but didn't hate him. "I don't hate ye! How can you ask me that? Cheryl exasperated a huff of shock and dared to look Brendan in the eyes "I was worried how you'd react, with Simon being your best mate and part of the band..."

"I'd have been as I always am the protective brother, but chez,I can see you're happy. Simon is obviously the reason, and that's all I want for ye" Brendan looked up at Cheryl and sighed heavy, feeling her hand on his leg he looked up again.

"Oh Bren, please forgive me? And I am happy, Simon makes me happy" Cheryl pulled Brendan into a hug and they held that way until there was another knock at the door and Ste and Simon came in. Simon looked over at Brendan and watched him stand up and walk over to him slowly.

"I know you want to hit me, so get it over with, but I warn you, I am not going anywhere, Cheryl means to much to me" Simon spoke nervously and Ste moved away from Simon a little just in case.

Brendan's expression didn't change and he walked up moving his hand quickly holding his hand out to Simon, who looked puzzled but took it in his and they shook hands. Brendan jerked Simon forward and brought him in close resting his mouth at his ear.

"I am happy for ye both, and I love ye Simon. However, if ye hurt Chez in any way i will kill ye" Brendan squeezed Simon's hand hard making him whimper a little and then nodded in agreement.

Brendan moved Simon out of the way and walked over to Ste stroking over his cheek "Sorry i lost it back there I was..."

"Angry? I understand, I love you" Ste's eyes twinkled when Brendan kissed him and replied "I love ye more"

"Ye love each other?! Oh my god!" Cheryl freaked out grabbing hold of Simon and squealing in his ear. "I'm so happy for ye both!"

Ste blushed and nodded holding onto Brendan tighter. He and Simon winked at each other and both spoke in a silly voice "I'll never ever date a fan!" Ste giggled when Brendan shoved him on the shoulder.

"Want me to make it my rule again?!" Brendan threatened but Ste just laughed

"As if you could, can't live without me can ya?"Brendan mumbled under his voice feeling ganged up on completely, he still smiled though happy he had scrapped that stupid rule.

Sinead was on her way to the loft as her normal routine was back again after what had happened in the restaurant. She wandered through the village and stopped outside Ste's restaurant. It had been completely gutted inside and the smell of burning and smoke filled the air still. Sinead swallowed deeply looking inside, and what could've happened to her if things had gone wrong. She felt weird thinking about Kevin, not only had he nearly sent her to her death but he rescued her from it.

Sinead shivered feeling a cold spread over her exposed skin; she spun around hitching a breath looking quickly all around her. She continued to walk to the Loft feeling she was being watched racing up the metal steps and into the door. She walked in and rolled her shoulders sitting at the bar and taking out the postcard she's received from Ste and smiling broadly at the picture of the American guy on the front of it.

Ste had written a simple message "Sinead, having a blast in America. Missing ya loads. Hope you like the fit bloke ;D See you soon, Love Ste xxx"
Sinead beamed after reading it, she was missing her mate loads but was happy for him being with Brendan. "How is the loved up couple?" Sinead gasped jumping off her chair and moving around the bar.

"What are you doing here? The police are out looking for you" Sinead trembled and fished in her bag for her phone but Kevin rushed over and grabbed her bag from her and threw it away to the other side of the club.

"Trevor is going to be back here soon, and believe me you don't wanna be here then" Sinead held herself tall and tried to calm down looking at Kevin get more agitated.

"I have lost everything because of him, my career, my status, I ain't letting him get away with it" Kevin seethed.

"Seriously, get over yourself! You can start again, get a new manager, but most of all forget Brendan. Is he worth all this? He's chosen Ste!" Sinead walked around to where Kevin was stood arms leant on the bar and head low. "Just go, please. I won't tell anyone you were here"

"You must think I was born yesterday!" Kevin smirked "I ain't going anywhere, you are coming with me" Kevin grabbed Sinead by the wrist and dragged her away.

"Not so fast Kevin" Brendan and Ste were stood there with the band and Cheryl. Sinead gasped in shock wrangling out of Kevin's grip and running over to Ste sharing a massive hug.

"Ste! Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?!"

"It's been three months Sinead!"

"No, I only got your postcard other day, look"

Ste chuckled looking at the picture of the guy he'd chosen for her, remembering their time in Times Square and looking fondly at Brendan. He glanced back a moment and winked before looking up at Kevin again.

"Jeez I sent that a month ago!" Ste laughed hugging Sinead again and looking over to Kevin with an evil stare."So yeah, we decided to stop off here first Brendan wanted to see the restaurant and i wanted to see you, knew you'd be at the club, so surprise!"

"Can we please stop with the niceties? I feel like vomiting here!" Kevin laughed and moved to leave but Brendan edged forward and smacked him hard in the face. "Thats for Steven,and if I had my way yeah would never get up again"

Kevin wiped his cut mouth and looked at the blood grinning,his teeth stained red as the sticky substance pooled there. "We can still be together Brendan,forget that little runt and we can be happy"

"Oh wow,this guy is off his rocker! Earth to Kevin,helloooo?"

Dennis walked over to him and knelt down "Are you that mad you can't see when it's over? It's time to stop all this now Kev mate,seriously."

"You ain't going anywhere, Chez?" Brendan glanced to the side and Cheryl nodded

"It's done Bren they're on there way" Ste moved away from Sinead and walked over to Brendan placing a hand on his lower back and rubbing pressure there.

"He's not worth it, Bren I am OK, we are happy and the police are gonna cart his arse off" Ste looked over at Kevin sprawled out on the floor and leaned down to his face.

"All you had to do was let us be, I get you were upset, but seriously, all this?"

"I loved him and you came and took him away from me!" Kevin sobbed as the police came up the stairs and rushed over to him. As they handcuffed Kevin Ste stood up and held onto Brendan's arm.

"I'm sorry, but that doesn't give you the right to try and kill me, you nearly killed Sinead, setting fire to my restaurant? Come on, that's not normal" Ste watched the police officers drag Kevin away and felt relief it was finally over. Just then Trevor walks up the stairs and looks over everyone stood in his club, he looks at Brendan and the others and his eyes widen.

"Hey! Aren't you..."

"Yes we are!" Dennis cries happy to see a fan and make light of the situation "Do you want an autograph? Photo?" Dennis takes out a photo of the band and signs it passing it back to Trevor who looks at it puzzled. "Nah mate,there's been a mistake,I thought you were Aerosmith" Trevor shrugs walking into the office and leaving Dennis gob smacked.

"Did he just say...?"

"Yup" Warren walked over to Dennis and held onto his shoulder "Never mind Dennis,maybe next time you'll get recognised"

Warren laughed and backed off walking into Sinead by mistake. He turned around and smiled at her apologizing. Sinead looked back at him flushed and nodded back smiling in embarrassment. Ste notices and nudges Brendan pointing over to them both. He leans up into his ear and whispers "E'yar, reckon we could get these two set up?" Ste grins devilishly nodding and rubbing his hands together already formulating a cunning plan and Brendan eyes twinkle watching him.

"Think if anyone can do it, ye can Steven, ye are amazing"

One year later.

"Where is he Chez?" Brendan was pacing as Warren Dennis and Simon were all huddled together waiting for their good luck hug before going on stage, but Brendan tonight was far too distracted.

"I should have told him first"

Cheryl shook her head and tilted Brendan's face to look at her. "He will be here! He never misses your shows now, ye know that" Brendan nodded but still looked agitated, squeezing tightly on his microphone.

"I don't know, maybe it's too public" Brendan turned to the others all waiting and he smiled and went over and they hugged. "What do you lot think? Am I doing the right thing here?"

"Look, Brendan you know we have a love/hate affair going on, but I will be honest, you two? Made for each other" Dennis slapped Brendan hard on the back winking.

"He's right, and I think it's a romantic idea" They all looked up at Warren wide eyed and in shock. "What? It is Ok" Warren grumbled in response. He and Sinead had been dating 7 months now and he'd changed his 'ladies man' persona completely. They ribbed him over it often, not that he cared, and he was very into Sinead.

"Ok, that was too weird, but thank ye Warren, coming from ye it must be" Brendan looked at Simon who had his guitar draped across his chest and was looking particularly hot, Cheryl had noticed and found it very hard not to leap on him in an unashamed act of pure lust.

Simon looked up at Brendan and smiled putting his arm around him "Trust your heart, and that will tell you what to do, now let's get on this stage and give them lot what they came here to see, yeah?" Simon gestured to the main stage and to the thousands of fans who were cheering for them, so loud it shook the rafters.

"Wait, how will I know if he's here?"

Cheryl rolled her eyes "Anyone else having a bout of Déjà vu here?"

Ste was running late...again. And he was stressing a little because ever since he can remember he's always been at stage side when Brendan had a concert. Ste never got around to getting another restaurant, instead he set up his very own catering company, and one that just so happened to cater for Brendan's band and their crew. He was the head chef and he'd also hired other chef's to cater for other companies, namely the rich and famous on the road.

It had been a great idea and something close to Ste's heart. He needed to be with Brendan all the time,but with his career choice they'd had to make a decision that if Ste were to accompany him in his rock star life, he'd have to find some way of earning his own money, and Brendan hadn't dare patronise him with his wealth over it. Brendan would have taken care of him, but he knew Ste wouldn't ever accept that. They fit together, their lives combined and it worked, and Ste travelled around with Brendan on the road, and moved into his London home on a permanent basis when they weren't touring.

So today, there had been a catering catastrophe and Ste had to deal with it, no one else had the expertise apparently and Ste had huffed in frustration looking at his watch and knowing he was going to be seriously pushing for time. Ste text Cheryl as he knew Brendan would now be on stage and he was angry sat in the back of the taxi, racing to the arena. He kept looking at his watch and the forever red lights that only held him up more and cursed under his breath.

Cheryl received the text and sighed relieved a little, however he still wasn't there and she needed to figure how on earth to tell Brendan when he was. They had been singing half hour now, and the screams from the fans showed how amazingly well it was going for them. They were at their peak, the new album rocked straight to number one in the iTunes chart and they'd made a great impact in America.

Kevin had been another eye opener in the year that followed, after the police had arrested the support band singer they'd visited his home and found what can only be described as an obsessive attachment with Brendan Brady. His home full of intimate photos, newspaper cuttings and materials used to send nasty death threats that Brendan had received a number of times. It came with the territory to him, being in the eyes of the public it was the norm to receive hate, this,however had been a shock and Kevin had been taken and locked away.

The taxi pulled up to the back door of the arena,they were at Wembley Arena in London,playing to one of their biggest sell out concerts. Ste used his I.D. to get past the security and make his way hurriedly to the side stage placing his hands on Cheryl's shoulders making her jump a mile he grinned at her and caught his breath looking around at Brendan on stage singing and gyrating like he owned the place. Ste felt a slight pang of jealousy, until he remembered he got to take that man home every night, then it wasn't so bad after all.

Cheryl stretched around to look up at Ste who was in deep thought, love sick smile across his face she smirked shaking her head at him. "You lerve him" Cheryl sang and Ste nudged her in the ribs.

"Well durrrr, cause I do!" Ste sighed "I mean look at him, my gorgeous man" Ste sighed again and Cheryl rolled her eyes again.

"Pick up ya tongue Ste, you'll have us all tripping over it" Cheryl glanced at the stage and lucky for her Simon looked over so she stuck her thumb up at him, and he realised and nodded. Walking over to Brendan on stage he played his guitar solo and managed to whisper something in Brendan's ear.

Ste was watching the show and glancing back at Cheryl, then at the stage then Cheryl again. "Right! What's going on!" Ste huffed placing his hands on his hips and looking at Cheryl's nonchalant expression.

"Nuffin..." Cheryl shuffled on the spot and curled her hair around her finger and generally fidgeted like there was something definitely up and she wasn't any good at lying about it. Ste tapped his foot and folded his arms about to open his mouth when something stopped him. He slowly turned towards the stage and listened again.

"Steven...I know ye are there,please come out here"

It was Brendan,but why was he asking for him,and why did he want him to go on stage,in the middle of a concert and...

Cheryl stopped his thought process and told Ste to go on stage,squeezing his hand and nodding everything was ok.

Ste swallowed and hesitated. "Steven, don't make me come back there and get ye" The crowd screamed loud and it made Ste chuckle nervously as goose bumps formed over his body. Letting out a deep breath he walked out and appeared on stage and the crowd went crazy. Ste's heart was in his mouth, this was the second time he'd been on stage in front of their fans and it was an over whelming feeling that went from the pit of his stomach and stuck in his throat on a loop having to keep gulping to keep it down.

Brendan looked gorgeous and Ste was swooning looking at him, never fancied anyone as much in his life, it consumed his entire body, their sexual tension laid bare for all to see. They could power the whole arena with it if they wanted too. Ste weakened at the knees and then looked over to the others who all had the same look Cheryl had, and he suddenly felt on show, and out of the loop. Why was he here?

Brendan held his hand out and Ste took it as Brendan spoke through the microphone to try and calm the frenzied crowd a little. "Steven, once upon a time I swore blind I'd never date a fan" The crowd booed and laughed in response. Ste giggled and pointed to them and back at Brendan nodding in agreement with them and also at the irony.

"Then I saw ye, and that was it, ye stole my heart" The crowd screamed again and Ste could now see a pattern forming but went along with it anyway.

"In front of all these wonderful people, my family" Brendan gestured to the fans and the band and Cheryl who had now crept on stage not wanting to miss anything. Brendan got down on one knee and Ste's heart almost jumped out of his mouth then, could barely swallow it in time, his eyes widened and pulsed raced. "Bren..." he whispered barely able to speak.

"Steven hay, I love ye, marry me?" Brendan looked up at Ste and the sweat rolled down over his face as the spotlight beamed on the two of them, the crowd seemed to silence as they collectively gasped before screaming again. Ste moved to take the microphone from Brendan's hand and with a shaky hand he placed it to his mouth, shaking and croaked a little.

"Yes"

The crowd raised the roof and Ste dropped the microphone as feedback screeched through the speakers he leapt into Brendan's arms when he'd stood back up, legs wrapping around his waist and hands linked around his neck they kissed in hunger. Ste stroked his tongue inside Brendan's mouth and it sent sparks through his body. The fan's were deafening but he still heard Brendan's moans and felt them tremble over his tongue. He didn't want to let go, didn't want to leave Brendan's strong hold, but he had too. They broke off the kiss begrudgingly still peppering kisses after Ste had moved back down off Brendan's waist.

"I love you" Ste spoke breathlessly into his mouth "So much"

"I love ye too, I won't be long, just have to wrap the show up" Brendan grinned into Ste's continued fleeting kisses and licked over his bottom lip sucking on him momentarily.

Ste bent down and retrieved the microphone passing it back and walking away the crowd screamed as a new song started up, Ste turned to see Brendan still looking at him, and his heart was back again, he felt it bang against his chest.

They were going to get married, and Ste couldn't wait.

Ste was asleep by the time Brendan arrived home,he was shattered from the concert and after showering and changing at the arena he'd been driven home straight away to their home in London. Brendan leaned against the doorway looking over Steven sleeping,his chest rising and falling and looking peaceful. He hated to wake him,but Brendan had been dying to see him after the earlier nights events.

Brendan striped out of his clothes and crawled in beside Ste stroking over his face gently with his hand he coaxed him awake. brendan kissed slowly over ste's jaw and heard him moan in response smiling and blinking his eyes open."Hey you,what time d'ya call this ey?"

Brendan grinned through his kisses "Already ordering me around,I aint got the ring on your finger yet"

Ste moved to sit up on his elbows and looked into Brendan's eyes "Ring?" Ste's eyes gleamed when Brendan moved to his trouser pocket and pulled out a black box.

"Dunno if ye deserve it now,trying to boss me about" Brendan teased and got a shove in his chest in response.

Brendan opened the box and took out the white gold band "Marry me?" He asked again,and Ste's face lit up so brightly it made his heart jolt.

"Yes,yes yes!" Ste squealed and Brendan placed the ring on his finger.

"OHMYGOD" Ste spoke looking at the ring in disbelief. "We're really gonna do this huh? Forever right?

Brendan kissed Ste on his ring finger then lips,jaw, neck and moved slowly down his body with his mouth. "Forever Steven"

Ste hummed closing his eyes as Brendan's tongue continued the rest of their conversation for them.

I am a complete softie when it comes to these two,couldn't resist the fluffy ending :) xx
