Howdy all.
This is the first chapter of a series now being written by myself and Lucando. Enjoy and feedback=love.
Title: Love Games - I just don't know what to do, 'cos I need your love a lot.
Authors: Dunkel_Ziege and Luncando
Pairing(s): Russell/Noel for now. With Implied Noel/Julian.
Warnings: Angst, swearing.
Rating: 15 just for the swearing.
Word count: Just under 1500
Notes: The way it works is Lucando would write and bit then me so the ***s represent where one part finishes and another starts. Ignore them if you want but if you are interested in who wrote what then Lucando started.
"You just give us 48 hours and we'll get the job done... If we weren't
so bloody miserable!"
Noel giggles along with Russell's jokes, imagining how ridiculous a
gothic Starsky and Hutch would be. Russell would be up for it too, he
knows that! Maybe they should work on a sketch, do it for some charity
show. Anything to distract him. He and Julian have been doing SO much
promo recently, he needs a break. And he can admit to himself that he
needs that break from Julian.
Some time apart, with another man; it was getting far too intense.
Touring together, living together... He needs to breathe. And as
Russell continues to flirt with him throughout the filming for BFQOTY,
he relaxes into flirting back, because he's comfortable with Russell,
and he just loses himself in how good it is to be sitting close to
someone who doesn't turn him hot and cold and breathless with a look.
*****
Russell is the kind of person who would flirt with the nearest hot
body he could find; and in this instance it happened to be Noel Fielding. Of
course, Russell realises what he’s doing but he sees the flirtations
as an everyday thing. Noel is fun and warm and nice to touch so why
shouldn't there be a flirtatiousness between them, even if it was just
for the cameras?
Noel could see it now, there had been porn stories on the internet
about Howard and Vince and probably was about him and Julian, now it
would be him and Russell. It unnerves and flatters him at the same
time that people out there in the real world are writing porn about
him and various other men.
The joke goes on about the goth detectives and Noel is enjoying
himself. He’s glad that Julian had refused to do this show, Ju was
the kind of person that was great when he was acting and not being
himself - he would have the confidence of a wilderbeast. But on shows
such as this, or chat shows he acts awkwardly and rarely enjoys
himself. This annoys Noel in a way because Julian would be fine and
happy one minute then quiet and awkward the next. Noel can’t deal with that, it confuses him.
*****
It makes him feel like he doesn't really know the man who's supposed to be his best friend. The man he secretly adores. Sometimes he wonders whether it's partly his fault, whether somehow being outgoing and chatty on this sort of thing makes Julian feel extra uncomfortable. Or maybe he's just being paranoid. Russell doesn't make him feel that way. And it doesn't go to the other extreme either, where they're fighting for the spotlight. They're just chatting normally, really, and happen to have a camera pointed on them. It gets so silly that Noel lets go almost totally, there's no reason why he shouldn't. There's no awkward man next to him, making him feel guilty.
After the show, Noel feels far brighter, and more determined in the idea of not seeing Julian for a while. Yeah, it'll be good for him. Both of them, maybe. He gathers his stuff from his dressing room, and runs straight into Russell as he's leaving. "Not running away yet, are ya?" Russell grins. "I was gonna ask ya if you'd grrrace me with your glorious presence for the evening, m'dear" he asks, jigging about a bit, looking all excited about the prospect. "Yeah, that'd be genius" Noel says, without thinking. And Russell suddenly throws himself on him, making Noel drop his jacket and bag, hugging him tight. "Come on darlin', we'll waste away, let's find ourselves a trendy restaurant. Even goffs need nutrition" Russell declares, kissing Noel wetly on the cheek and leading him off.
*****
Noel is looking forward to going out with Russell, he has needed a
release like this for a long time, it's just been him and Julian for
so long, although Noel went out with his other friends they all knew
Ju too and even if Julian didn't really join in at parties he still
came along, so this was nice.
They end up in a small restaurant, in Camden of course. It sells
various oriental foods, noodles and whatnot. It’s comfortably
secluded so Noel and Russell won't be disturbed by members of the
public that might want autographs and photographs. Noel isn't in the
mood for that, he just wants to do something quiet and get rather
drunk. They order wine which was a sure fire way to set them both
down the path of drunkenness.
*****
Two glasses makes him pretty happy. Four, and he doesn't give a shit about much at all, and he's incredibly giggly. Russell calls him a lightweight, trying in vain to hide his own tipsiness. But it doesn't work, not at all. Stepping out into the cold air after their meal is a swift slap in the face, and wakes them up again. "I don't want to go home" Noel says, as Russell is concentrating hard on his phone, trying to find a cab number. "Come to mine" he replies. "It's clean-ish" he giggles, hugging Noel to him. Noel is very very close to opening up his heart and pouring all the contents out, feeling painfully lonely right now, but he's being held close by somebody who's really his friend, and a fun one at that. It stops him from making an arse of himself, and revealing his little secret. He gets the idea that Russell is a bit of a gossip, and even if he didn't tell anyone about Noel being in love with Julian, he'd tease him like mad, and they'd fall out.
They sprawl into a taxi, Russell still holding Noel close, rubbing his back idly, unaware of how comforting it is. "Oi, gimme a smile" he says to Noel, who obediently curls his lips, making Russell smile back. "You're ridiculously pretty, y'know" Russell says. The taxi driver, raises an eyebrow, but they don't see it.
*****
Noel just laughs awkwardly he's flattered because of his drunkenness
yet a little nervous because he's not used to such affection, usually
it's him that's the affectionate one making Julian feel uncomfortable
but then that’s only because Julian is unbearably cute when he
looks uncomfortable. And Noel is only affectionate because it’s
the only way he can let out his feelings for the other man.
Noel snuggles into Russell's back rubbing, enjoying the attention more
and more with every rub. It is comforting even through the drunken haze
that has clouded any irrational thought. Noel feels safe and happy. He
’s having a good time and nothing stupid and emotional is going to take that away from him.
*****
He squashes a well of anger about Julian that tries to rise up into his throat, concentrating on the here and now. Russell is throwing a bunch of notes at the driver, way more than it cost, but nobody cares. Noel stumbles out of the car, hugging himself against the cold, and Russell grabs one of his hands, leading him up the steps. Russell's house has the distinct smell of a single man, and it's wonderfully eleborate with a mixture of antique and modern furniture everywhere. It suits him perfectly. Just how Noel imagined it. He flops on an overstuffed purple sofa, and curls up in a ball, sighing. Russell leaps on him (considerately gently) squidging Noel from behind.
"Be happy, Bob Skeleton. Hey, we won! And it was worth it just to wind Walliams up. Would you perk up if we invited Julian over?" Noel tenses up all over, praying Russell can't feel it. "No, no, me and him need a break from each other, we were getting on each other's tits" he laughs weakly. "I'm fine, honestly. Fucking alcohol is a depressant. Can I have some coffee?" Russell crawls off him and manages to get himself upright again. "Coffee is a very good plan" he says, scuttling into the kitchen, leaving Noel wanting to feel that close male contact again.
*****
Noel and Julian would just argue, because Noel can't hold things in
when he’s drunk. He’s more than willing to shout and cry that
Julian doesn't care about their comedy partnership anymore. Although that’s always just to cover up the fact that he has to shout at Julian for
having such an immense power over him. Noel hates that everything he does had to be to be passed by Julian, but that’s his own fault because he
needs the other man's approval before he can do anything. Recently, however,
Julian has been turning down invites to television shows and gigs
because he just can't be bothered. Where does that leave Noel, he
can't do things on his own, he has to be part of a partnership to
feel confident about what he’s saying…
Russell saunters back from the kitchen and Noel tries to forget all
about his crazy relationship with Julian because it scares him and he
has no idea what to do about it all. Russell hands him the coffee and
sits back down with no regard to Noel's personal space. Not that
Noel’s about to complain, he needs comfort and he needs cuddles.
