Author: TrentReznorsSin
Disclaimer: Trent unfortunately doesn’t belong to me *sobs* (do you really think I’d be sat at my PC if I owned him?? Lol) but Erin and some other people you won’t recognise belong to moi. I’m a poor uni student so don’t sue, I’m not making anything out of this!
Summary: Set during the Self Destruct Tour 94/95. Trent’s decision to ask his best friend Erin to come along for the tour has made them both ask the question ‘are we just friends?’
Feedback: Yes please, no flames though, they make me cry
Author's note: This is the first NIN fiction I’ve written in years, so I might be a bit rusty.

Chapter Five: Just Like Heaven
The rest of the show went by in a blur, before Erin knew it, the last song was over and the crowds were screaming for more, despite two encores. When they had left the stage, they were ushered backstage by various people. While the others stopped along the way to say hi and sign autographs for fans, Erin stood back.
“Hey! Can I have your autograph?” A hand tapped her shoulder. Turning around she saw a young girl, probably only 17, looking at her hopefully. “You were great out there! Proves we are just as good as guys.” She handed Erin a piece of paper and a pen. Smiling, Erin signed her name and handed it back.
“Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it…”
“I sure did!” The young girl pushed her glasses further up her nose. “You were as good as Trent!”
“Really? You think?”
Suddenly a few more people were asking for her autograph and having their pictures taken with her. Erin went along, now in autopilot, until Trent’s voice spoke up and a hand grabbed her arm.
“Okay guys we have to go. Thanks for coming to see us!” Dragged away from the groups of people brought her back to reality. Looking down at the gloved hand that held her arm, her gaze moved up to his face, damp dark hair plastered to his temple.
“Told you you’d do great out there.” He said, looking back at her for a moment. Before she knew what had happened, he brushed a kiss against her cheek. “Now you have fans, you’ll defiantly have to play with us more often…”
“Thanks…” Coming down from the high she had experienced, and just a little dazed from his kiss, Erin quietly followed him out towards the exit where the bus was waiting for them.
* * *
He’d kissed her. Granted it was only on the cheek but he’d kissed her.
Walking out of the bathroom, now feeling a lot better after a hot shower, Erin towelled her hair dry, mulling the events of the show over.
And the night wasn’t even over yet. The band had decided to have an after show party of sorts at a local club. Quickly opting for a black top, jeans and the same knee high boots she wore on stage, Erin finished getting ready and dried her hair.
Grabbing a jacket, she walked out of the hotel room and locked the door. Pressing the button in the elevator, she leant against the railing as the lift moved down. Tapping the toe of her boot against the floor, she looked at her reflection in the side mirror.
You’re getting yourself deeper and deeper, one of these days you’ll realise you can’t get out…
Looking away, she closed her eyes and put a hand to her forehead. It was true; she was making things a million times worse for herself. But then again, she couldn’t just lock herself away from him all of a sudden; they had been through too much together.
The elevator stopped at the ground floor. Pushing herself away from the wall, she walked out of the door, passed reception where she gave the girl on the desk a smile and walked out of the revolving glass doors.
* * *
Trent looked around from his seat at one of the few tables that were in the club. Some old song was playing at an ear bleeding volume while masses of people moved on the dance floor. He would have preferred somewhere a little less…crowded, but was the only place around that they could go for a drink without being recognised by too many people.
Almost jumping out of his seat when Chris shouted out Erin’s name and waved her over, Trent followed where Chris was looking and saw Erin shouting something back and indicating over to the dance floor. Running a hand down his face, Trent took a large gulp of his drink.
She was wearing those boots again.
Watching her disappear amongst the crowds of people, he picked his glass up.
“Anyone want another?”
“I’m okay thanks.”
“Just a beer for me.”
“Make that two.”
Getting up, Trent walked over to the bar and waved the bartender over. He had opted for a more casual appearance since he only really wore outrageous clothes on stage. A well worn leather jacket hung over his chair and he wore a white t-shirt, black jeans and combat boots.
“Three beers.” He said, leaning on the bar.
* * *
For a few minutes, Erin forgot everything and just enjoyed herself, dancing along to the music and not caring who saw her. She didn’t see the young man moving towards her.
“Hi!” He shouted over the music. Opening her eyes she gave him a small smile.
“Hi…”
“You’re really attractive.”
“Thanks.” He moved closer, despite her lack of interest, trying to press himself against her. Erin tried pushing him away but he was too strong, clumsily trying to grope her. The music was too loud to shout for help; Erin turned her head away and closed her eyes, trying in vain to keep him at arm’s length.
* * *
Waiting for the drinks to arrive, Trent looked around the club, at the other people at the bar. Scanning the dance floor, he saw a woman trying to push a guy away from her. He suddenly realised it was Erin fighting off some drunken loser. Forgetting the drinks, he pushed his way through the crowds, uncaring of the remarks made. He saw the desperation in Erin’s face as the man tried to kiss her. He tapped the guy on the shoulder,
“Hey man, she’s with me.” The man’s grip on her loosened, Erin moved away and closer to Trent. Realising that Trent had a good few inches on him, and could probably take him down without much effort, the young man decided to cut his losses.
“Hey man I’m sorry, I didn’t know she was yours.” The intoxicated problem stumbled away, disappearing into the crowds. Erin held a hand up to her lips, the other arm wrapped around herself,
“Oh my god…” She muttered, looking up at Trent. “Trent…”
“I wasn’t going to let some drunken fuck try and grope you.”
I’m the only one who should be touching you…
A moment’s silence passed between them. ‘Just Like Heaven’ by The Cure started.
“I owe you big time for that.”
“Well…” His eyes met hers and he smiled, “how about a dance?”
“Sure…”
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Both began to move to the music, their eyes locking for a moment before Erin looked shyly away.
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Trent smiled as he watched Erin sing along with the lyrics unaware that he was watching. His eyes drifting down towards her lips as he moved closer. Erin felt him take her hands in his and spin her around, making her laugh.
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you
Both were lost in the music, unaware that the space between them had diminished completely. Stifling a gasp when she felt his body press against hers, Erin looked up to see Trent’s eyes were fixed on hers.
You
Soft and only
Lifting her chin with his finger, Trent felt her hand on his arm, her touch burning his skin. He had wanted to kiss her for so long, and he was now only a few inches away from doing it…
You
Lost and lonely
Erin focused on Trent’s eyes, never looking away. He was so close, she could feel his body against hers, all she had to do was stand on tiptoes and she could kiss him…
She closed her eyes as the hand that wasn’t holding her face, brushed through her hair, letting the silk strands fall through his long fingers.
You
Strange as angels
Trent decided to throw all caution to the wind, finding the blue eyes looking up at him too much to bear. Cradling her head with a hand, he leaned forward, his lips getting closer and closer to hers…
I can’t do it…
Suddenly Erin’s eyes flew open as she realised what was about to happen. Pulling away, she could barely look into his eyes, knowing there would be pain and confusion there.
“I’m sorry…” She mumbled before, turning and disappearing amongst the crowds.
You stupid fuck!
Trent cursed himself as he tried in vain to push passed everyone to get to her.
She had disappeared…
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream
