"Strange Voices in Your Ears - Part 1"
Title: Strange Voices in My Ears
Author: Gondorbunny
Pairing: Torklenz!
Rating: Hmmm...If
you held a gun to my head, I'd say PG-13 or so.
Warnings: Nothing too smutty in this
chapter. Just suggestive stuff.
Summary: I think I pretty much summarized it above.
“Is
this the place?” Davy asked Micky, peering at the piece of paper in his hand, and
then looking up at the numbers above the door of the house they had pulled up in
front of.
“1841 Sunset Terrace, just where Pete said to go,” Micky said, hopping out
of the Monkeemobile as Mike turned off the key.
“Great,” Davy said excitedly. “Let’s
get inside. We’ve already missed some of the party as it is.”
“Cool it Davy,” Mike
said soothingly. “We’re only about forty-five minutes late. You know people are constantly
coming and going from these types of things. We’ll have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves.”
“Yeah
Davy,” Micky joined in. “I’m sure there will still be some girls there. Maybe even
some single ones.”
“There’d better be!” Davy replied emphatically. “But I’m sure as
long as Peter’s here, that’s all that you’re concerned with, eh Micky?”
Micky tried
to shoot Davy a warning glance, but couldn’t hide the brief little smile that came
to his lips at the words Davy had spoken. It had now been over two months since Micky
and Peter had become lovers, and they didn’t even bother to try to hide the fact
from their bandmates anymore. Micky had frankly been kind of shocked that they had
taken the news so well. Actually, Davy didn't shock him quite so much. He knew that
Europeans were by and large more accepting of alternative lifestyles. He had expected
Mike, on the other hand, to be appalled and disgusted by the idea. On the contrary,
Mike had been patient, understanding, and…if Micky didn’t know better…actually looked
completely unsurprised by it all.
Micky supposed that Mike’s theory was that as long
as Micky and Peter were happy, and the band was still a solid unit and able to get
out and play gigs like always, he didn’t really give a hoot about how they got their
kicks.
After they rang the doorbell, they were invited into the house by a cute girl
in a peasant blouse and corduroy mini-skirt that immediately caught Davy’s attention.
The girl, whose name was Amanda, was actually the hostess of the party, and for the
next couple of minutes she took them on a brief tour of the downstairs level. There
were several other guests in various rooms and in various stages of consciousness,
depending on what they happened to be imbibing in at the time. The distinctive, heady
perfume of good pot was very present in several of the rooms, and there were copious
amounts of alcohol being consumed by some as well.
“So that’s the big tour”, Amanda
concluded. “The pool is out that way if you guys want to take a dip.” She pointed
out the sliding glass doors at the back part of the house. “There’s food and drinks
out there too. Help yourselves and have fun.”
She started to walk away, and Davy
immediately moved to catch up with her, slipping a casual arm around her waist as
he deftly engaged her in conversation.
“Yep. There he goes,” Mike sighed. “I think
we’ll know whose room to look for him in when it comes time to leave.”
Micky snorted.
“Well, it’ll keep him out of our hair, anyway.” He glanced around, scanning the faces
of some of the other partygoers, a distracted, searching expression on his face.
“I’ll catch up with you later, Mike. I’m going to see if I can find Peter and let
him know we’re here.”
“Okay,” Mike said agreeably. “I guess I’ll go take a walk around
and see if there’s anyone here that we know. See you, babe.” With that he moved away
with his unhurried, loping stride toward the living room.
Micky circled the other
way, glancing into the dining room, greeting those who greeted him, but not seeing
Peter anywhere. He wondered briefly if he might be upstairs, then dismissed the thought.
Who could he possibly be up there with? Unlike Davy, Peter liked to get to know girls
before he actually bedded them, and to be quite honest, Micky didn’t think that Peter
had scored any women since he and Micky had become involved. Micky sure as hell hadn’t
had any himself. It wasn’t that he’d given up women now. It was just that Peter kept
him much too satisfied to even want to try and find anyone else, or so he told himself.
Now
Micky looked curiously out the glass doors to the pool area, considering. Then he
mentally shrugged. It was worth a look, and even if Peter wasn’t out there, he could
check out the food spread and see if anything looked good.
Things were even looser
out here than they were inside the house. All over the redwood deck surrounding the
shimmering blue rectangle of the pool there were people in various stages of undress.
There were people eating; people drinking; people smoking; people sitting on deck
chairs and making out in the sunshine; people skinny dipping in the pool itself.
There were even small pavilions set up along one of the long sides of the pool that
contained piles of brightly colored and patterned pillows where people could lounge
in privacy…or do whatever else might come to mind.
It was one of these pavilions
that caught Micky’s attention. So much so that he began to walk closer to it without
even realizing it. Two figures were inside this one, lying decadently amongst the
pillows. The smell of hashish emanating from the small area almost hit Micky like
a slap in the face. He could almost get a small contact high just from breathing
the air nearby. There was no mistaking the people inside the shaded area. He didn’t
know the dark-haired girl, but he could see that she was wearing the remains of what
had been a bikini. She still had the bottoms on, but the top was lying discarded
nearby. She was half-lying atop the other figure in the pavilion with her.
The other
figure who lay on his back, smiling lazily up at the girl and idly stroking her right
breast, was Peter.
Micky watched, frozen, as the girl casually lifted her fingers
and slipped an acid-laced sugar cube between Peter’s lips before leaning down and
kissing him deeply. Their tongues dueled busily between their sealed mouths, sharing
the drugged cube of dissolving sweetness between them.
A feeling of nausea suddenly
invaded Micky’s stomach, but mixing with it was a feeling of dim arousal as well.
It was such a bizarre combination that he was completely at a loss as to how to deal
with it. The feelings just intensified, both in the positive and the negative ways,
as the couple broke their kiss and Peter moved his mouth down to mold his lips around
one of the girl’s stiffened nipples, suckling it busily as she tipped her head back
in pleasure, her long dark locks tumbling down her naked back.
When Peter sat halfway
up and rolled over, moving the girl underneath him, Micky decided all at once that
he had seen enough. In fact, just looking at the table of food nearby made the sickened
feeling intensify, so much so that he was suddenly hurrying toward the cabana at
the corner of the deck where the outdoor restroom was. He made it just in time before
throwing up everything that had been in his stomach.
He flushed the toilet and then
stood before the sink, rinsing out his mouth and splashing some cold water on his
face, the image of Peter and the girl appearing on the darkness behind his eyelids
every time he shut his eyes. He berated himself for letting such a thing affect him
so badly. So, Peter was getting it on with some chick. What’s the big deal? It’s
not like it was the first time, and it certainly wasn’t the first time that Micky
had witnessed Peter in action either, though he always discreetly left the room before
things got too hot and heavy.
Ah, but that was before, his mind whispered, almost
gleefully. Micky didn’t need to ask the question “before what?”. He already knew
that answer all too well. Still, should that matter? Yes, he and Peter loved each
other. That was an established thing, but there had never been any conditions on
their relationship. Never a strict code of “thou shalt not” that they had discussed
or enforced. No one had ever declared women off-limits from here on out and etc.
etc. etc.
But that didn’t change the feelings stirring within Micky right now. Right
or not, unfair or not, unnecessary or not…They remained the same. He felt hurt. He
felt jealous. He felt angry.
More than anything else, he felt angry.
