Caring (Roger Taylor x Reader)

Pairing: Roger Taylor x Reader

Request: “How about some roger fluff where the reader visits roger and the band in the studio late at night while they are still working on new songs and the reader tries to get Roger’s attention but he is to focused and then they end up falling asleep together on a couch in the studio”

Suggested Song: “Why am I like this” by Orla Garland

A/N: Queen being... queen

Word Count: 834

Warnings: None

You and the boys have been stuck in the studio since yesterday, having crashed there through the night and being up since 7am.

It wasn’t the worst thing that you’ve ever gone through in life but you were in serious need of some fresh air and so did the boys.

“GALILEO”

“Do it again.”

“GALILEO”

“One more.”

“HOW MANY MORE GALILEOS DO YOU WANT?!”

You gently set your hand on Freddie’s shoulder while the other holds a cup of coffee

“Give him a break Freddie, he has been stuck here for more than 30 hours and hasn’t had his hourly cup of coffee yet. And it’s 11PM.”

Freddie turns his chair so he is facing you.

“How can you read him so easily, darling? If it were up to me I’d say that he is just being a drama queen, and we both know that there can only be one of those per band.”

“And our Queen is you Freddie, dear.” You smile down at him only to be greeted with his adorable content smile for seeing his rightful place acknowledged. “Now, if you excuse me I’m going to try and calm him down and maybe wake him up a little bit.”

You open the door to the recording part of the studio where it stood a tired Roger trying to rub the sleepiness away from his eyes.

“Here, you can have the rest. I think that I’ve had enough caffeine for one day.” You actually poured the cup just for him, but you tried not to make it to obvious by saying that it was yours. God knows how quickly he gets his energy levels low on working nights without coffee.

“Thank you Y/N, just settle it right there on the table that I’ll drink it when I can.”

“But it’ll get cold...”

“I need to get this notes right and then I still need to work on that solo part, plus the important is the caffeine, not the temperature.” he didn’t even seem to notice how quickly he dismissed you “go and help Freddie, I’m sure that he needs your help.”

Disappointed, you walk back into the mixing room where Freddie now stood with Deacy and Brian, who seem to notice the look on your face.

“Don’t do that face, Y/N you know he doesn’t mean it.”

“I know! I’m not even slightly mad!”

“That’s because you like him.” came a statement barely above a whisper, sounding more like a snarky remark

“What was that, Deacy?”

“I beg to differ, she loves him!” says Freddie as he steps away from the mixing table where he was previously leaning on.

Your eyes quickly look for Roger who is still in front of the mic, practicing his Galileos, panicking with the thought that he was hearing your conversation.

“Don’t worry, Y/N dear, both speakers and microphones are turned off, he can’t hear us and we can’t hear him.”

“Freddie has a point.” Says Brian from your right side.

“Guys, I care for him as much as I care for any of you!”

“Well, you never brought me a cup of coffee every single hour!” Exclaims Brian

“And you never stayed up with me finishing our songs “ came Deacy

“And darling, you certainly never looked at me with those loving eyes with which you look at Roger. And just, so you know he looks at you the same way.” Your eyes wide a tiny bit when Freddie says the last part of his statement.

“Now dear, we’re gonna head upstairs to bed so if you wanna sit and think about your feeling for our dear friend, feel free to do it in piece.”

“Freddie—“

“Goodnight!”

And then you were all alone behind the mixing table noticing that Roger was now behind the drums practicing his solo for one of the songs he was writing. Every time that he got a beat wrong he’d go back to the top.

“Rog, dont you think that it’s too late in the night for you to be working this hard?”

“You never say that to the rest of the guys.”

“Freddie walks from one side to the other while singing, Deacy just bobs his head and stomps his foot to the beat and Brian literally sits on a chair playing his solos. You on the other hand need to work every muscle of your upper body to play each and every time. Now you tell me why do you think that I worry more about you than the others.”

He stops for a moment looking at you, regretting the irritated tone that he used on you just moments before.

“You’re right, I’m so sorry for being so harsh on you. Sometimes I don’t even notice how mean I can be.”

“I know that you don’t mean it.”

“And I don’t! But you have been nothing but kind to me and I just wish that I could make up for it.”

“I have an idea on how you can.” You say with a smile on your face while seating in the brow and soft couch next to the drum kit. “I let you play your solo one more time but then you need to come rest a little.”

“In the couch?”

“In the couch.”

“Deal”

Roger turned to his drums once again and completed his solo perfectly. In the end he had a heavy breathing but a content smile on his lips. He then proceeded to calmly stand up from his seat and walk over to the couch where you were with your head being supported by one of your hands because of how sleepy you were.

“Now that wasn’t so bad.” You say, moving to the side a little so that he could have a better space to sit down.

“No it wasn’t at all.” He responds with a more quiet voice. Gently lifting his left arm, he invites you into his embrace that you gladly take, nuzzling closer to him with you head right under his chin.

It only took a few minutes of silence for you both to doze off because of how tired you both were.

Little did you know that the mics were never off throughout the whole recording day and that Roger heard every single word said in the mixing booth. And he now knew that you felt the same way.

[mcrmadness]

I swear a circadian rhythm sometimes is a thing that just cannot be changed. Like, some people claim that you can change that at will if you really want to but I can’t really? I mean sure, I can maybe fall asleep and wake up in different times but what’s the most annoying part to me is that I’m then sleepy all the fucking time! And it’s incredibly difficult to stay asleep because I constantly wake up to look at the clock and I get disappointed when it’s still nighttime and I should sleep a lot more hours if I want to not be tired the next day. It’s really frustrating.

I mean, the night before I fell asleep around 10:30pm and yesterday I woke up before 8am, and I remember waking up around... 4am to look at the clock. “Shit I should keep sleeping, I don’t want to wake up now!!!” And the whole day yesterday I was so damn tired it was insane. And I finally went to sleep at 11pm yesterday. And I again woke up at night, but it was about 2am and again same thing: kinda worried if I will fall asleep again? Fortunately I did fall asleep, but I feel like there were more times than that that I’ve checked the time but the last one I remember was somewhere before 8am, again. So I had again been sleeping for 9 hours and my average need for sleep is 7-8h so that is more than enough (even tho some days/nights I sleep 12-13h just like that). And it’s again just 10:30am and the brighter it gets outside, the more tired I get and I’ve been awake only for 2 hours, and I got out of my bed only around 9am so I haven’t been even up for that long time. And I want to go back to sleep so bad now, but I have the same problem as yesterday: I’m hungry! (Also I’m on my period and I try to lay down as less as possible on the first period days cos of the possible “leakage”, so that’s why I usually don’t have naps during period. And can’t just... go and fall asleep on the sofa for this reason.)

I just don’t like it. When I sleep at night, I’m kinda annoyed that I waste my favorite time of the day and I’m also worried that will I stay asleep, because what’s even more annoying is to wake up, say, at 4am and not be able to continue sleeping. Because that means I’ll be even more tired during the daytime! That is why I keep waking up to look at the clock, “do I still need to sleep?” And even when I wake up at 8-9am, I’m so tired during the day that it just... physically gets on my nerves! And I can’t get anything done because my head feels like it’s full of something and my eyes are itchy and dry and my neck hurts from all the sleeping. And I constantly feel like drinking coffee to make this go away but I don’t drink coffee because of sweating and concentration problems + I won’t fucking shut up AT ALL if I get caffeine.

And when I sleep all the days, I don’t feel tired basically ever. And have to force myself to bed because I’m not getting tired. But still tired enough to fall asleep, but not being like tired 24/7 and it’s more like I’m not mentally tired at any point. And then I don’t get anything done because it’s so late and I don’t dare to start doing anything because I most likely can’t stop doing that thing if I get excited. And like I said, night is my best time and I’m at my best and my most creative after 11pm or so. But I don’t want to start doing anything anymore, because if I get really excited, I can be doing that thing for the next 12h without sleeping or eating and getting also really furstrated by other basic needs like peeing. I basically want to throw my bladder out of the window because “not now, I’m busy being creative you know???” And during daytime it’s difficult to be creative when I’m so super tired all the time that it’s hard to concentrate when I’m constantly nearly falling asleep on a drawing or video, or I just... freeze and sit here staring into the void for minutes because I can’t get myself moving. And then getting aware and annoyed by all the noises that don’t happen at night because everyone else is sleeping.

Oh well, maybe I’ll stop writing now and try to get myself breakfast. I just can’t decide between a bread and oatmeal. Kinda wanna eat the latter but it means I should soon (read: already) do dishes and the bread is faster and would be nicer because I’m so exhausted that even oatmeal feels like too much work, at this time of the day. And then I should decide what to do because, you know, I can’t eat in the kitchen doing nothing? I always watch tv or eat in front of my computer. That’s why it sometimes takes ages to start anything because I first need to know what to do while eating before getting myself anything to eat, because then I’d just sit there WITH the food while searching for something to do while eating, because there’s no point in eating while doing that because... well, then I’d have done eating when I’d finally find myself something to watch while eating? Which means I don’t need that anymore and I could move on to next “plans”, whatever they would be...

Maybe gonna play video games today. Or draw or continue editing a video but idk. I’m so tired that it’s possible I’ll spend the whole day in front of the tv and computer anyway. (At least video games might cheer me up a bit, but I also often get bored with them faster at daytime and that makes me even more tired.) Oh but I just remembered, I also need to visit a grocery store today, since I finally got some money. My budget for yesterday was just 20€ paper money and I was left with 5€ so I need to do some more grocery shopping today, since I finally have money.
