Rock of Ages, Forever Pt46
Sav woke up slowly, his entire body ached from the previous night. Nick wasn’t in the house or he would have felt him through their bond that he was slowly learning how to use. Throwing back the blankets he made his way to the shower, more than ready to wash away the aches. Standing under the steaming water, he thought about what Nick said. He still wanted to try and take his relationship further with Joe, but was afraid to because of what Nick told him. He didn't like the choice he was given where Joe was concerned, he wanted a closer relationship with him and was determined to get it, no matter what said of did to him.
Drying off he dressed and went downstairs. The sun wasn’t even up yet and every one was still asleep. This was different he was usually going to bed now, but he didn’t want to sleep. Taking a bottle he went to the studio, standing in the doorway looking around. Finally going over to the console he sat down punching play. The room filled with the music they had recorded yesterday, it was good now, all he had   to do was mix it.
Drawing on all the knowledge he had learned in the past, he mixed the song together and had it completed in just over two hours. Playing it back several times to see if anything was missing or in the wrong place. Satisfied that it wasn’t, he set the tape aside for every one else to listen to later in the day. Taking a sip from his glass, Sav picked up the guitar and played around with it a while. Reaching over he pushed record for the booth and played the song that he wrote, blocking out all the memories that it brought back. When he was finished, he didn’t even bother to replay the tape, he didn’t want to hear it right now. Putting a label on it, he sat it somewhere so that every one could see it. He turned every thing off and went to the kitchen to retrieve another bottle. Rick was by the stove fixing breakfast for himself.
“Hey, I thought you would be sleeping?” A surprised Rick said as he saw him coming into the room.
“I couldn’t sleep.” Sav said softly.
“Join me for breakfast?” Rick asked.
Sav looked at what he was cooking and frowned.
“Oh sorry, I forgot. How do you feel after last night?” Rick asked, concern touching his voice for his friend and what he had witnessed for the first time.
“Fine, just wish that everybody didn’t have to see it.” Sav told him.
“Don’t worry about it, I didn’t see anything. I’ll just try to forget that it happened.”
“Yeah, wish I could.” Sav told Rick with a shrug.
Sav leaned against the counter, sensing that Rick wasn't finished talking.
Pushing the food around on his plate, Rick took a deep breath and finally asked him, "Is that how it was for you during those years?"
"Yes," Sav tilted his head to the side, "It's not as frequent now...the fights, beatings. It was nearly everyday back then."
Rick dropped his gaze to the table, suddenly feeling uncomfortable with Sav's far off stare. "How did you cope with it then?"
"I had a lot of time to think, to write. Thoughts of my family, everyone in the band, music, all of that kept me sane, knowing one day I would see then again."
Leaning back in his chair after pushing his half eaten food away, Rick formed the comment in head just right before asking, "And your relationship with Joe."
It was Sav this time that dropped his gaze, "We didn't have a relationship other than that of friends since we met. But now..." he let his voice trail off, really not in the mood to discuss it any further with him. Everyone already knew he wanted something more with Joe, so why bother him with more questions about it.
Rick sensed his reluctance to go further. He rose from the table and placed his dirty dishes in the dishwasher, “Were you in the studio? I thought I heard music coming from there?” Rick turned round and noticed that Sav wasn’t in the room anymore. “And he disappears again.”
***
The others came down a short time later and joined Rick at the table as he read the morning newspaper.
“Hey Sav was in the studio when I got up. He was here awhile ago, but when I turned around he was gone. Must have went to his room.” Rick told them.
“He was up?” Phil said. “That’s unusual.”
“Said he couldn’t sleep.”
“I wouldn’t blame him. I couldn’t sleep either after what happened.” Vivian commented.
Joe quickly got up from the table and left the room. He went to Sav’s room and looked in, the bed was made and his things weren’t anywhere that he could tell. His stomach knotted as his thoughts turned toward the daylight. Sav wouldn’t have done that. Going out in the hall, he glanced down at Nick’s door. Not bothering to knock, he barged right in. He quickly scanned the room and his eyes fell on the huge bed and the figure that was there. Going over, he pulled the covers down and let out the breath he had been holding. He reached down and brushed the hair away that had fallen into Sav’s face, he stirred and mumbled at his touch. Joe fixed the covers and left the room, closing the door quietly behind him.
“What was that all about?” Vivian asked as Joe came back into the kitchen.
“I don’t know. A sudden urge to check on Sav, it was weird,” Joe said. “He’s in Nick room asleep.”
“I thought he had chosen his own room.” Rick said.
“After you guys left last night, Nick came in and demand that he stay in his room for the time that he is here.”
“Where does he get off demanding that Sav do everything that he is told?” Phil questioned.
“Because he can.” Joe started. “It’s a power struggle with them. I thought about leaving last night...all of us.”
“We can?” Rick said.
“As much as I liked to. It wouldn’t matter where we went. Nick would find Sav and there is no telling what he would do. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not taking that chance.”
“So we're stuck here at least until we finish the album.” Phil said.
Rick and Vivian nodded in agreement.
“Hopefully there will no repeats of last night.” Vivian commented. "I really don't want to see that again."
***
Later in the day, everyone except Sav was in the studio. Vivian spotted the tape and picked it up and read the label. “Hey, guys look at this.” he tossed it to Joe.
Joe was just as surprised as Vivian to see the title. “He recorded.”
“I don’t believe it.” Phil said.
“Also says here that he finished with the first track. Which one do we want to listen to first?” Vivian asked.
“This one.” Joe said and tossed the tape back to him.
Vivian popped it the player. They listened to the song. The softness of the acoustic guitar coming through the speakers was mesmerizing. Sav’s voice was strong, never wavered, didn’t break once, everyone was stunned. They had never heard him sing like that and were amazed that he did it in one take. When it was over, Sav’s voice came over the speaker’s. “If you want to put it on the album…fine, but I will not record it again. It will have to go on like it is, and never ask me do it live.” Then the soft click as the tape was stopped when he shut it off.
After a few minutes Phil broke the silence, “It’s brilliant. I wouldn’t change anything.”
“Your right Phil, it goes on like that. Sav gets 100% credit for this one.” Joe said.
“When the tour start’s, maybe we can talk him into it doing it live anyway. Guess it   would depend on what kind of mood he’s in at the time. But that’s along time away.”
Let’s listen the finished track?” Joe said changing the subject.
“Ok this is great. Why didn’t we ever get Sav to do this before?” Phil asked.
Joe snorted remembering the times Sav had turned the duties down in the past, to try and save the band some money, “I don't think he wanted to, he knew what was involved. He was always in the studio, knew what it took to make the sound right. But I never thought he would actually do it.”
“Ok, lets get to work boys. This is turning out to be great, we’ve already put two   tracks down and it’s only been a few months.” Phil cheerfully commented.
“But it could all change in a hot second.” Rick reminded them.
***
Nick strode into the studio were everyone was later that night and announced in no uncertain terms, “I’ll be having a dinner party in a couple of days and expect everyone to be there.”
“Expecting us!” Joe said quizzically.
“Yes Mr. Elliott I do.”
“He expects us to be there.” Joe chuckled looking at everyone.
“It’s for some of my close friends that I haven’t seen in ages. They are curious as to whom I have staying in my home.”
Sav had came into the room and stood behind Nick.
“I don’t recall being your friend.” Joe quickly shot back.
“You have made no attempt at trying either.”
“I’d rather make friends with the devil, he would probably be nicer.”
“Ouch.” Rick said under his breath.
Nick glared at him.
“That ruffled your feathers didn’t it?” Joe said grinning.
“Unlike you Mr. Elliott, I do enjoy your company.”
“Sorry, I can’t return the favor.”
“I tolerate your snide remarks because it makes him happy to be with all of you.”
“What would make him happy is for you to get the hell out of his life.” Joe told him.
“I do apologize. I hate to have to inform you, that it will not happen in your lifetime.”
“I do like the way you word things Nick. Is that a throwback of your upbringing or just the way you like to feel superior to all of us?”
Several snickers could be heard around the room.
“Would you like to see how I was brought up Mr. Elliott?”
“Oh that won’t be necessary. I already know how that was.”
“The only way you can experience that, is for me to take your blood.”
“No...I would have to take yours to have that very un pleasurable experience. Even if I were a vampire, just the thought of taking it from you, is too disgusting.”
Sav had moved around and was leaning on the wall watching them. When he saw the hard look that came over Nick's face, he quickly went over to him and started shoving him from the room, much to everyone’s surprise. They could hear Sav yelling at him as they proceeded upstairs.
Joe chuckled at himself.
“Joe, you're crazy for doing that.” Vivian said.
“But it's fun to see him ruffled.” Joe said smiling.
***
Sav went into the dining room where Nick was putting the last minute details on the dinner party. Nick looked up at him and frowned. “You’re wearing that?”
Sav glanced down at his clothes. The ripped, faded blue jeans and the black shirt that was half way unbuttoned. “Yes I am. It’s comfortable and if you don’t like it, too bad.”
“You're in a mood tonight.” Nick commented, going back to straightening the silverware on the table.
“I wonder why. I thought you were leaving weeks ago, but you're still here.” Sav sarcastically told him.
“I didn’t have any pressing business, so I decided to stay longer.” Nick replied. “And do try to be on your best behavior tonight.”
“I’m always on my best behavior....when you’re not around.” Sav was over by the bar, mixing his drink.
“Actually, I’m surprised that you haven’t tried to leave yet.” Nick commented.
“And pass up the chance to get the use of a studio free of charge.”
Nick was steadily getting angrier. He went over to Sav and took the glass from him before he could drink any. “You will not drink this tonight.”
“It dulls the pain of being here with you. Haven’t you figured that out yet?”
Nick backhanded him.
“Oh that’s good. Leave marks on me for your guests to see.”
“I will not tolerate this rudeness from you tonight.” Nick growle
“I’m not in the mood to be nice tonight.”
Nick slammed him to the wall.
“Get the fuck off me!” Sav shouted and tried to shove him back.
Nick tossed him across the dining room. Sav landed heavily on the floor and laid there, staring up at the ceiling when Nick straddled him, then came within inches of his face.
“ color:navy">Defiance will only bring you punishment.”
“Whatever. You do it so much I’m use to it.”
Nick closed the distance and brutally kissed him. Sav could taste his own blood in his mouth as unwanted desire quickened in him. He knew what his little spat would eventually lead to and he was going to get it right here in the dining room.
Phil walked in to saw them on the floor and stopped dead in his tracks. “Ops… sorry, I’ll come back later.” he spun around and went back out.
Nick and Sav had looked up at him when he said that, stopping them from going further.
Nick got off of him. “Go clean up.”
“Fine, but I’m not changing.” Sav told him and left the room.
A short time later, Nick greeted some of the guests. “Marcus, what a delight to see you old friend.”
“We’re not so old Nick.” Marcus replied shaking his hand. “It has been a long time.”
“Come in, we can catch up later over dinner.” Nick said showing him into the living room. “I want you to meet my house guest.” he made the introduction to Joe, Sav, Phil, Rick, Vivian.
“Of course you know Sondra, Mikalos, Adrian, Heather, Isabella and Dominic.”
“Oh yes, yes of course. Cannot have a party without them.” Marcus replied.
“Oh wonderful.” Joe smarted, “We’re in a room full of vampires.”
Nick glared at him. Everyone else was shocked to find out that these mere mortals knew about them. Sav was laughing off in the corner where he chose to stay after meeting everyone. Sondra had been steadily watching him since she arrived. Sav had received her message loud and clear that she wanted him.
Later in the evening, Marcus went up to Nick. “You’re watching him like a hawk.” he leaned closer to Nick and said quietly. “Is he your new love interest?”
“You could say that.” Nick told him.
“I dear say, he is quite handsome.” Marcus commented. “It’s been centuries since you   took a man as a lover. Why this one?”
Nick smiled at him.
“Um…that good I see.”
“Better.” Nick replied.
“You must bring him over for dinner.”
“Perhaps. They are quite busy right now recording their new album.”
“Such a tedious task I've heard, but everyone needs breaks.”
“That may be so. It is what he loves to do.” Nick told him.
“And the others?” Marcus said looking over at Joe.
“Are band mates and close friends.”
“It would seem to me that Mr. Elliott and Mr. Savage are more than just friends.” Marcus commented. He had seen the way that Joe kept watching Sav all evening.
“Well they are not. I can assure you.” Nick shot back.
“Yes of course. Bring him by sometime Nick. We can entertain him in the more exotic life of what we are.” Marcus said and moved away.
Nick watched him make his way over to Sav and start a conversation with him.
Dinner was announced and everyone one convened to the dinning room. Taking there places at the table, the wine flowed easily as bowls of soup were set in front of them.
Sav looked down at his and frowned.
“It’s quite alright to eat that. It was made in    Italy by a well known chef that caters to our diet.”
“I hope mine isn’t like yours Sav.” Rick said.
“No, Mr. Allen it is not. You will find it tasty.” Nick told him.
Sav finally gave in after seeing everyone else try theirs. As soon as the hot liquid hit   his tongue, he spit it back out and grabbed his wine glass to drain it.
Bouts of laughter from Joe and Phil got his attention. “That bad Sav?” Phil asked.
“Yeah, if you like drinking hot horse piss.” Sav grumbled.
Sondra hid her giggle behind her napkin, while the others laughed at his remark. Nick only glared at him.
Sav pushed his bowl away and stood up. “Well it’s been fun, but we have an album to record.”
“Sit down!” Nick bellowed.
The laughter quickly died around the table as his voice echoed through the room. Sav turned to him and gave him an icy glare, then spun on his heels and left the room.
Joe watched the storm play across Nick's face and knew immediately what would   happen later, he slowly stood up. “Excuse me.” he too left the room.
Phil, Vivian, and Rick looked at each other.
“Let’s go.” Phil said after a few minutes.
After they left the room, Dominic turned to Nick. “I would guess they had other plans.”
Nick plastered on a smile. “They do have a lot on their minds at the moment.”
The dinner continued without them late into the night. The music that was heard coming from the studio thumped through the house as they played.
Nick stormed into the studio in the early morning hours. Joe was on his feet as Nick headed straight Sav and yanked him from the chair. “Don’t you ever embarrass me like that again.” Nick growled.
“I just didn’t like your company or your guests, and we needed to work on the album. Not play host to your party.” Sav said calmly.
Nick grabbed his arm and started dragging him from the room to which Sav jerked away.
“I know you don’t want your punishment played out in front of them.” Nick said.
“Do whatever you want. It wouldn’t matter anyway, you can do it here or in the bedroom later.”
Nick got right in his face. “I’ll let it go this time. Do it again and the punishment   will be sever.”
“What ever you say. Can I go back to work now?” Sav asked. He was still calm about   the whole situation. He didn’t want to get into it with Nick. Sav went back over and sat in his chair after Nick had left.
“You know that will only make it worse for you later.” Joe whispered from beside him.
Sav only shrugged his shoulder and played with the knobs on the console.
