Author's Note (Monster): Enjoy

No way in hell was he ever going to admit this to anyone, not even to himself, but he was slightly excited when he watched Danny's wicked smirk take over after the brash comment. It was rude, horrible, objectifying, yet it excited him a little. This game was far from over. Funny Man had realized a long time ago he wouldn't stay a virgin forever, but he was so scared to give away the full control over his body that he was trying damn hard to remain one. With Danny's interest settled on him, he felt his resistance falter. He was attracted to the older man, badly. He wanted nothing more than to touch him, kiss him and feel him, but he couldn't give in.

He couldn't give in to such brashness. The boldness in his words downright infuriated him. He wanted to hit him right there and then, but instead he stood petrified. Mortified and frozen on the spot until Danny stepped closer and entangled his hand in his hair, then pulling him closer to smash their lips together. His hand moved down to his neck, down his chest and down his sides. Funny Man wanted to pull away and hit him so badly but he couldn't. Instead he held his hands against Danny's broad chest. When the singer broke the kiss, he winked and left to get some sleep.

"Asshole!" Funny Man yelled after him, but he felt completely lost and weak.

He couldn't sleep anymore like this. He couldn't sleep in the same room as that monster. That monster who he secretly longed for. That horribly hot asshole! Instead he settled to fall asleep on the couch with a blanket Charlie had barfed on a few weeks ago when he was drunk. It wasn't the ideal spot to fall asleep but anything was better than sleeping in the same room as him.

That morning he felt like crap and he awoke way too early because they had to leave to make it in time for the concert they were performing at. He sighed when he opened his eyes and rolled on his back. He got upright and yawned loudly. Charlie was playing cards with Kurlzz and J-Dog. Johnny was reading a book and he heard the shower run, which meant Danny was taking one. He involuntarily received images of the hot water running over his naked body. He bit his lower lip and turned to his front with a groan.

"I'd ask if you had a hangover, but I don't think that's the case", Charlie mindlessly commented. More like half morning wood, he thought bitterly.

Funny Man shook his head, but he obviously couldn't see that. "No, just tired. I had a rough night."

"Why? Wet dreams?" J-Dog mocked.

The Mexican's expression dropped and he flipped him the finger. "Fuck off, Jay."

"Aren't you a sunshine in the morning. Get some breakfast, we're gonna be at the place in a bit and we'd like to check out the stage", Johnny told him.

Funny nodded and got up. He didn't bother to get dressed first. He took out his cereal and a bowl and poured it in. When he opened the fridge, he didn't see the milk at first. He sighed. "Out of milk?"

He earned four incoherent affirmative replies and dropped his head in annoyance. "Fine, dry cereal then."

He didn't bother to grab a spoon and simply dipped his head into the bowl to eat it like a dog. Danny walked out of the bathroom fully clothed but still rubbing the towel to dry his hair. When he removed it, his hair looked like it had exploded. He looked at the Mexican and smiled. "What? Can't I dry my hair?"

Funny Man turned his gaze away when he realized he'd been openly staring at the other with a permanent scowl on his face. He shrugged and murmured something intelligible.

"Lately the two of you are acting so damn weird", Charlie commented, playing a really nice card. J-Dog glanced at Funny but he waved it off.

Da Kurlzz put his cards on the table, making the other two sigh deeply and put his hands in the air. "Not only did I win, but I also noticed the two of you acting strange."

The lead singer threw the towel back in the bathroom and grabbed the song sheets he had left on the counter. "I'm not acting weird. Funny is."

All eyes were pointed his way. "Yeah, Funny's the one acting weird."

The bandana rapper scoffed. "Must be a virgin thing."

"You guys are such assholes", Funny laughed.

Danny silently sung his lyrics to himself while the other five discussed the subject.

"Assholes? You love us!"

"No homo"

J-Dog looked up and hushed them until complete silence and all they heard, was the soft singing of Danny. His eyes were fixated on the sheets and the sounds came out as a completely natural sound. Charlie whistled impressed. "Vocals like that and we're gonna hit number one real soon."

Danny looked up startled and quit singing. "What?"

The drummer smacked the rapper's head. "Smooth, dude, you made Danny stop singing right when we were all enjoying it."

The singer cleared his throat. "You didn't have to be sneaky about listening. Are we there yet?"

Johnny looked out the window. "I think I see the building!"

Funny Man glanced outside as well. "Oh, yeah, I guess we're here."

The six of them stormed out to scout the place they were playing it. The gig wasn't too big but it wasn't shabby either. Charlie was standing on the stage with the mic that wasn't plugged in yet. "Thank you! Thank you very much! New York!"

"We're in Chicago."

"Oh shit."

Da Kurlzz jumped up and down in the back of the place, placing both hands around his mouth and yelling. "We love you, Charlie!"

"No homo", Charlie laughed.

Matt grinned. "ALL OF THE HOMO!"

An awkward silence fell on the place. Charlie crawled off stage. "You ruined it."

"You ruined my life so we're even", Kurlzz mocked him. Johnny scanned the whole stage, walking around like he was trying to find something he lost.

Funny Man raised an eyebrow. "What? Looking for a life?"

"No. Looking for loose parts that I'll avoid. I'm not falling off stage anymore", Johnny replied.

J-Dog scoffed. "I think the fans come to our shows just to see you fall off stage. That shit is hilarious."

"I choked on my lyrics laughing when you fell", Funny Man admitted.

Johnny put up his middle finger at all of his friends. "See this, guys? Fuck you all."

"That's for Matty. He just said 'all of the homo' to me", Charlie said, sticking out his tongue to Da Kurlzz.

"I get a feeling this gig is gonna be awesome", The lead singer jumped in.

"Why?" J-Dog asked.

"Just a feeling. I don't know why."

Somehow Funny Man had a nasty feeling in his guts it had something to do with him. Especially so when the lead singer set his eyes on him. Instead of shuddering once again, he glared back and made Danny smile.

Such sass, I love it, the lead singer mentally noted.

Charlie put both thumbs up with a silly grin. "Let's go over the tracklist once more."

"Undead first", Danny sighed like a child, being told off by his mother.

J-Dog filled in. "Hear Me now next."

"Don't forget Bullet in between", the bandana rapper corrected.

Johnny rolled his eyes. "We KNOW the tracklist, Charlie."

"I'm just checking", he defended himself. "It's our first big concert with Danny."

Danny pouted, deep in thoughts. "I won't screw up. This isn't my first band. I'm still lead singer of Lorene Drive, remember?"

"No offense but that live performance wasn't very good", Funny Man scolded.

The lead singer squinted his eyes as to look right into his intentions. "You don't think I'll be good live?"

"No, I don't."

"Funny, what are you saying? He's amazing live."

"He's overhyped", the Mexican said, folding his arms stubbornly.

Danny grabbed a microphone and turned it on. "You wanna see what I'll be like live?"

"Now you're gonna get it", J-Dog smirked.

The lead singer started singing the lyrics to Been To Hell. The guys filling him in in between his lines. Every note was right and the volume went all the way to the back. When he stopped, he looked at Funny Man. "What was that? I'm sorry. I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome we're gonna perform tonight."

Da Kurlzz poked the Mexican between the ribs. "Dude, you just got dissed by innocent Danny."

Innocent Danny? You must have no idea what's going on, Funny Man wanted to snap, but he bit his tongue in order not to let it slip.

Please Review, they're our heavy fuel.
