1More fluff. What can I say? It makes me happy. This takes place during the Jean Genie, with all the advice Tommy was giving Jude. Was I the only one who noticed that it seemed to really bother him? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. Haha. You know the drill. Please review. grovels at computer screen
"Banish those dirty thoughts, Yoko."
He couldn't help but smile slightly as Jude turned her blonde head about forty five degrees, as if to acknowledge him, but still keep Spiederman in her sights. So she liked Vin Spiederman now, did she? That shouldn't have twinged his stomach the way it did. After all, he was twenty three and dating her older sister– legal in ever sense of the word. Jude wasn't even seventeen yet. And it wasn't like he didn't care for Sadie. She was intelligent, witty, and gorgeous as you please. She was his type. Years ago, if he was building his model for his dream girl, Sadie would have been it– sexy with the brains to back it up. But of course, life didn't deal you easy hands like that. For as soon as Tommy had met his "dream girl" there was someone totally different he wanted– Sadie's passionate, alternative, effervescent younger sister. This was the very definition of a mess. Somewhere, he knew that something had to be wrong if he had to remind himself that he had a girlfriend around said girlfriends younger sister.
As Tommy watched Jude staring after Spiederman in the car, he found himself absurdly wishing that he could find some way to be a gawky teenage boy again. It was not the first time that he had wished this. He frequently found himself entering vestiges of fantasy involving the two of them where they were close in age, and wouldn't get in trouble if they were together– where they could just be two people, any two people, who could actually have a chance. He wanted to have a chance with her. He wanted to be Jamie, or Shay, or Spiederman– to go off into a place where caring about Jude was guilt free. But it didn't work that way. Like it or no, Jude was his protégé, and in her late teens. And he'd be damned before he became yet another element that made her grow up faster than she needed to.
He gave her the brotherly advice that she knew she was coming to expect from him, finally ending out with "Thou shalt not romance within the band." Somewhere, distantly, he wondered if there would ever be a guy besides him that he considered to be good enough for Jude. Though now, when he thought about, it, he wasn't exactly so good for her either– an infamous boybander who was in and out of the tabloids, and, oh yeah, dating her older sister, was not exactly what she needed right now. As she hurried away with deep thought wracked across her pretty face, he couldn't help but wonder, quite selfishly, if she ever pined away for him when they weren't together, like he did for her all the time.
I think I'm gonna make this a two chapter thingy? Get into the whole "when spaks fly" deal? I don't feel like doing it right now. If I get any reviews that say I should, maybe tomorrow?
