Finally, Saturday had come. And Joe was more excited than he had ever been. Sav was supposed to come over sometime around five and Joe had been bouncing around the house in adrenaline for the whole day beforehand. He desperately wanted the damn hand of the clock to tell him it was five already, he desperately wanted to see the gorgeous teen again.

And since he didn't know how the evening would turn out, he had taken a shower and put on some of his best clothes, hoping it would pay off in the end. He wore a pair of his favorite tight and bright blue jeans, along with a black Led Zeppelin top that fit loosely and apart from that, accented his quite well-defined arm muscles and the soft caramel skin over them. He had spent extra long on his curls as well, making sure they looked as beautiful as possible. And after a few hours of going almost ballistic in excitement, the doorbell finally rang.

"I get it, mum!", he shouted through the small house, then racing down the staircase that led up to his room, down to the front door. He then took a deep breath and opened the door, a wide smile painting itself onto his lips as he was greeted by the sight of the most gorgeous person he had ever seen in his life.

"Hey", Sav whispered shyly as he caught sight of Joe, his eyes taking in that Joe had taken the time to look extraordinarily good for him. And Joe could see the smile that painted itself onto the lush rosy lips as he took notice of it. But to Joe, he couldn't ever call himself beautiful in comparison to Sav. He wore light blue, high-waisted jeans and a purplish-blue blouse with the first few buttons undone, revealing his necklaces, just like the first time Joe had seen him. His hair was falling perfectly around his face and those blue eyes sparkled beneath his curly bangs slightly falling in front of them. Joe wasn't sure, but it almost looked like Sav had used some eyeliner as well to make them pop even more. His lips were so luscious, rosy and kissable, that Joe had to try really hard to distract himself from the wish of planting a kiss on them properly.

"Why don't you come in?", Joe finally asked with a welcoming gesture and stepped aside, allowing his friend to enter the small house. Sav did so immediately, politely taking off his sneakers at the front door before attentively looking at Joe again.

'You're gorgeous', lingered on the tip of Joe's tongue as they held the eye contact for a while, but he managed to gulp it down and smile instead.

"C'mon, I'll show you the house. And of course, introduce you to my mum."

Sav nodded at that and followed him through the corridor, stepping into the kitchen with the dining room directly attached to it after him and being greeted by the backside of Joe's mother that was still preparing dinner. She looked up and turned around though as Joe addressed her.

"Oh, you have to be the new guy Joseph always talks about", she said happily, holding her hand out for Sav to shake. He did so and felt his cheeks heating up at the thought of Joe mentioning him often at home.

"Mum! Did you have to say that?", the taller teen asked his mother and she just smiled at him, obviously not intending to take the statement back. She just turned her attention to Sav again.

"I'm Joe's mother, but that's kind of obvious already, I believe. Cynthia or Mrs. Elliott will do, call me as you prefer."

"I will do that, thanks, Mrs. Elliott. I'm Rick Savage, but most people call me Sav instead", the younger replied, giving her his best charming smile in order to make a good first impression. By the smile that appeared on Mrs. Elliott's face in return, he believed he did a good job.

"I'll show him my room, mum, and you can just call us when dinner is ready, okay?", Joe finally asked and his mother nodded, kissing his cheek and Sav could see that he was embarrassed by it. But he could wriggle himself out of his mother's grasp quite quickly, taking Sav by the wrist and pulling him towards a staircase that led upwards.

"The stairway to heaven, if you want so. Follow me", Joe said with a chuckle and Sav giggled, following the taller teen up the stairs and entering the room on top of them after him.

It was beautiful, at least in his eyes. There was the bed in one corner, a guitar on its stand right next to it along with an amplifier, posters of Joe's favorite bands plastered all over the walls and the front of his wardrobe, and then, of course, his shelf with all his vinyls on it along with the record player right beneath it on a small desk.

"I love it", he whispered with a smile and Joe blushed, flopping down to sit on his bed while he watched Sav circling the room and looking at everything in great detail. As he stopped in front of his shelf with the records, Joe stood up again and approached him from behind. Sav apparently didn't notice him or didn't care, because he made no move of backing away.

"Y'know, you can choose one to listen to if you want", Joe finally said, his breath on the back of Sav's neck and his chest almost brushing the back of his friend. Sav flinched shortly in surprise but then relaxed again, moving slightly backward to lean lightly against Joe's chest while he let his fingers wander across the backs of the vinyls. Finding one that got his interest, he pulled it out of the shelf and looked at the cover closely in awe. It was Queen's Sheer Heart Attack and Joe immediately had to smile.

"I love this one. But ironically I don't have it", he said with a chuckle, gently brushing his fingertips across the cover, still completely fascinated by it.

"Then let's put it on, it's one of their best", Joe replied from behind him, his feelings going completely crazy because Sav stood so close to him, practically leaned back onto him. He felt and saw the curly-haired nod in return, getting the vinyl out of its case before cautiously placing it on the turntable.

"Could you get the needle, please? I'm always scared to ruin it if I place it on there", he asked shyly and Joe smiled with a hum in return, getting away from Sav to walk over to the record player, cautiously placing the needle down over the vinyl. Brighton Rock started and Sav's smile widened as he finally got to hear Freddie's voice, his eyes closing on their own accord. Joe felt his heartbeat quicken at the sight, feeling the strong urge to get closer once again. It was like something was drawing him towards the younger one.

As Joe started approaching him, Sav's eyes opened again, locking on his own and Joe forgot breathing for a few moments. They got closer almost as if they weren't doing it consciously, bodies just approaching the other by instinct. So it wasn't a surprise when Joe finally found himself with the younger one in his arms and the younger's hands on the back of his neck and they started swaying to the music. With a cautious hand, Joe finally reached up and smoothed a part of Sav's curly bangs away from his eyes, marveling at their softness and then cupping one of the soft cheeks with the single dimple in them in his palm. His gaze switched from the blue blue eyes, which were really rimmed by eyeliner to accent their color some more, to the lush rosy lips in front of his own, getting a sigh in return. As he looked back up into the beautiful eyes, he saw them closed in expectation, feeling Sav's fingers tangle themselves into his dark brown locks and gently pulling him closer.

Joe was getting crazy by the nearness and the whole thing that Sav was hinting at. He was obviously urging him on to kiss him onto the lips. And Joe was so excited about that for a moment that his breath caught in his throat once more. But he couldn't reject the given opportunity so he leaned in closer, feeling his friend's hot breath more insistent on his lips the closer he got. And just as their lips brushed each other's lightly, there was a loud call from downstairs.

"JOSEPH! DINNER IS READY!"

Joe flinched back and Sav opened his eyes again at the interruption, the two of them gazing into each other's eyes for a moment.

"WE'RE COMING, MUM!", Joe finally replied and Sav lowered his gaze, blushing a bit insecurely. Noticing that, Joe placed two fingers beneath his opponent's chin, gently tilting it upwards to meet the blue gaze again.

"Hey, if you want to we can continue this after dinner", he whispered and Sav smiled softly, gently untangling his fingers from Joe's curls and placing a kiss on the tip of Joe's freckled nose. The latter smiled and blushed at that gesture before stepping out of the embrace, gesturing over to the door. Sav got the hint and they quickly left the room and went down the few stairs, Joe behind Sav.

During the whole dinner, Joe was kind of out of it. He couldn't focus properly on his mother or even on Sav, because the moment his mother had interrupted them was the only thing on his mind. If she hadn't interrupted them, he most likely would have tasted those luscious rosy lips that followed him in his dreams for the first time. And just the thought of trying again after dinner made his blood boil with need in his veins. But was Sav really doing it out of the same reason Joe was, that he was madly in love with him since they first saw each other? Joe wasn't sure, but he decided they needed to talk about the whole thing. But not getting distracted could turn out to be a bit difficult, he knew.

"So Sav, Joe has told me you like rock music, just like him. Is there any band in particular that you like most?"

"Queen, they're my all-time favorite. When I first heard them, I just knew that this style of music was it for me. The style to listen to and the style to create myself whenever I am playing the guitar. I hope I'll get the chance to see them sometime, but as far as I know, they aren't touring at the moment, and apart from that, I couldn't afford it either way."

Joe just observed the conversation between his mother and the guy he was falling in love with, a smile painted onto his lips at seeing how well they got along. But eventually, the phone started to ring and his mother got it, leaving Sav and Joe alone at the table. And before any kind of silence could form between them, Joe started to talk.

"You wanna go back upstairs? Or do you want to have some more soup?"

"I'm fine, thanks. We can go upstairs if you want to", Sav replied and Joe's heartbeat swelled with excitement again, the green-eyed quickly getting up to get their dishes and bring them over into the kitchen. Sav followed him and waited in the doorframe.

"Shit, I'm such a bad host! Do you want any kind of drink? Beer? Water?", Joe asked, inwardly smacking himself. Sav just smiled soothingly at him.

"You're not a bad host, Joe, I was fine until now. But if you're offering, I'd like a beer if that's fine."

Joe nodded and got two beer bottles out of the fridge, cracking them open before handing one over to Sav. They then made their way back up the stairs, entering Joe's room and closing the door behind them. The taller one directly went over to his record player again and placed the needle back on the vinyl, in order to prevent any sort of silence. Sav had meanwhile sat down onto the edge of his bed, taking a sip of his beer while watching Joe. And as Joe caught his gaze with his eyebrow raised in a silent question, he started to blush heavily, making Joe guess that he had indeed been checking him out, just like he had done in the changing room the other day.

So Joe went over to the younger one again, sitting down beside him and clinking their beer bottles together before taking a sip of his own. And as he had placed it back down on the floor beside the bed, he felt a trail of electric sparks on his thigh, causing his heart to pound against his ribs like crazy once more. Looking down, he noticed that Sav had placed one hand on his jeans-clad thigh, his thumb drawing circles onto the soft fabric. Man, even his fingers were beautiful.

Joe raised his gaze from the hand on his thigh after a while, trailing it up the strong arm and finally onto that gorgeous face that featured the beautiful eyes that were gazing up at him once more. Fuck, he needed that kiss now. He had been waiting too long for it.

So he cupped the latter's cheek in his palm once again, leaning in close until their breaths startled to mingle. Sav gasped softly, a sound that got drowned out by Joe's lips colliding with his, engaging him into a gentle but needy kiss. The younger's hand on his thigh gently tightened its hold as the kiss developed further, tongues entangling in their own silent dance and soft moans emanating that got muffled by their lips. Joe felt like his heart was exploding at the feelings he was experiencing. He knew from there on, that it had been like the first taste of a drug he instantly got hooked on. He just knew he would need it again and again.

They eventually parted in need of air, the sight of Sav's droopy blue eyes urging Joe on to do it again immediately. But his own conscience was against that. They needed to talk first. So he drew back a bit, getting his beer up off the floor and taking a sip again. Sav mirrored his gesture but obviously waited for Joe to say something.

"I don't know what to say exactly, I just know that we need to talk a bit first. I just... I only want you to know that I like you and that this means the world to me. There's just something special about you that I've never seen in anyone else before. And I've felt this way since I first saw you."

Sav observed him with sparkling eyes as he said that, reaching for Joe's hand and interlocking their fingers, almost like during history class the other day. But this time it meant more than just seeking comfort and they both knew that. Sav finally managed to say something in return, his eyes and voice still full of wonder.

"I know what you mean, I feel that way too. I just knew you were something special the day I met you and I honestly never felt so drawn to someone my whole life. What I'm trying to say is that I like you, too."

The taller teen grinned at that, placing his beer back on the ground and waiting for Sav to do the same before he leaned in again to place another kiss on the soft lips. The gesture was returned immediately and somehow Joe ended up with Sav in his lap when they broke the kiss again, the latter holding onto the back of his neck while he himself had his arms wrapped around his lower back to pull him in as close as possible. Joe finally parted his lips from Sav's with another question on them.

"There's something I'd like to ask you."

"Go on."

"Well, I like you, you like me. Would you want to be my... y'know...?"

"You mean...?", Sav asked with hope in his sparkling blue eyes, silently wanting to know if Joe had meant what he thought he had. And as Joe nodded with a shy smile Sav knew exactly that he had meant what he thought he had. He had wanted to know if he would like to be his boyfriend or at least more than his friend. Sav was speechless for a moment because he hadn't expected that question but he caught himself quickly, nodding happily before placing another kiss on Joe's reddened lips as an answer.

The older teen felt like he was on cloud nine at the affirmative, returning the kiss with as many of the emotions he was feeling as he could. He wanted Sav to know how much he wanted him, how much he wanted to be with him in that exact way. And as Sav pulled back with a huge smile on his face, he knew he had succeeded at that part.

"You probably won't believe me when I say this, but I believed that this would happen sometime, wanted it to happen, too. Maybe I should raise some money as a fortune teller", the blue-eyed finally said, rubbing the tip of his nose against Joe's with a chuckle, making the other smile even more. Killer Queen started to play in the background and Sav closed his eyes, starting to hum along.

"I've thought about this, too", Joe whispered against the younger's lips in return and placed a kiss on them again, letting himself fall back onto his bed and pulling Sav down with him. The latter contently wriggled his legs between Joe's to be able to lay down on him properly, then cuddling into the warm embrace of Joe's arms while resting his head on the older one's chest.

Joe closed his eyes with a smile at the gesture that contained much more love than lust, tangling one hand in Sav's soft curls and caressing them while his other slid down his back to rest on his hip. He could stay with him that way forever and dreaded the moment Sav would tell him he would have to leave that evening. But that was for later, in that moment all that mattered was the warm body of probably the love of his life on top of him, his cheek nuzzling his shirt and content sighs leaving the lush rosy lips.

And yeah, Joe definitely was in love. Very much in love.
