_________________________________________

Your morning was already off to a rough start, you had woken up late, with no time for breakfast and now you couldn’t find your bag that had paperwork that had to be submitted today. You were running around the flat desperately trying to locate your missing bag. In the meantime, your roommate, Brian, was just watching you with a big smirk plastered on his face.

Realization hit you, you must have left your bag lying around. One thing you have learned after living with Brian was he really hated it when you left your belongings just lying around, “Brian, where did you put my bag?”

“Y/N, if you would put stuff away, you’d know where it is.”, you groaned, you knew he was just trying to teach you a lesson normally you would’ve just apologized but you were getting later by the second.

“Please Bri, I’m already late,” you were getting ready to beg when Brian just let out a big sigh and said, “It’s in the closet where it belongs.” You rushed to the closet, pulled your bag out, and rushed out the door.

You and Brian had met in college and had almost instantaneously felt comfortable with him. It didn’t take long for you two to become best friends. He would invite you to come to Smile’s gigs and you would invite him to your art exhibitions; you were each other's biggest fans. Once the both of you graduated you decided to find an apartment together. It’s been about three years since you moved in with Brian and it was still one of the best decisions you’ve ever made; he was the perfect roommate and the perfect best friend.

Eight long hours later you finally returned home from work. You opened the door to find Brian sitting on the couch strumming his guitar, he looked up at you when you entered the room. “How was work?”,he asked.

“It was fine, my boss didn’t even seem to notice that I was late, thank god.” You sat in the chair across from him and put your feet up, it was good to be home.

He nodded and began strumming his guitar again. A comfortable silence fell between the two of you, you closed your eyes and listened to the first few chords of Keep Yourself Alive, when all of a sudden he spoke up and asked, “Hey Y/N, are you doing anything tonight?”

“No, I’m not, why?”every time Brian invited you to anything it was always fun.

“Queen was invited to play at the club downtown, do you wanna come?”

“I’d love to! What time?” you were hoping you’d have a few more minutes to relax before you had to start getting ready.

“Umm, I think it starts at 10, but I have to leave at 9.” you glanced over at the clock on the wall, it was somehow already 8:00, you’d definitely have to start getting ready now.

You quickly pushed yourself up off the chair and gave Brian a pat on the shoulder as you made your way towards your room. “Good luck tonight, I know you guys will kill it like always.”

He smiled up at you, “If you get there before the show come backstage, I’ll give security your name.”

“Okay thanks, Bri, I’ll see you there.”

After taking a shower, drying and styling your air, applying makeup and choosing an outfit you were finally ready to go.

You grabbed your car keys and checked the time, it was only 9:15, you were delighted that you still had time to wish the guys good luck before their set.

Fifteen minutes later you pulled up to the club and made your way in, you noticed that the crowds seem to be tripling in size every time you go to see Queen perform. You made your way past security and to the boys’ dressing room. You knocked on the door it was quickly opened up by a very hyper looking Roger. “Hey Rog, how are you?” you quickly found yourself wrapped in a hug.

“I’m great love,” he said as he gestured for you to come in. You gave the same greeting to all of the boys before settling into the seat beside Brian. “The crowd out there is huge, congrats guys!”

Freddie was beaming at your comment, “It’s all thanks to the release of our album, darling.” You sat around chatting to the band until a man came into the dressing room to give the guys a 5-minute warning.

“Well guys, I guess that’s my cue to go find a place to watch from. Go kill it.”

As you left the room and made your way to the stage you noticed that the room was even more packed than before. Luckily you were able to find a good spot to watch the boys from.

As always you enjoyed every minute of their set, it never ceases to amaze you how easily they connected with the crowd. Once the set was over you made your way backstage to congratulate the boys on a great set. As you made your way into the dressing room you couldn’t help but blurt out, “You guys absolutely killed it, they loved you!” The smiles on the boys' faces told you that they already knew how well they did.

“Thanks, Y/N, hey the boys and I were offered free drinks you wanna stay?” as much as Brian’s offer was tempting, you were absolutely exhausted and had a ton of paperwork to finish.

“Thanks for the offer guys but I think I’m going to go home, don’t get too drunk now.” The boys couldn’t help but laugh at your comment. You said your goodbyes and headed home.

You were used to Brian staying out late partying with the boys since Queen really got popular every Friday night Brian would be out until 3 in the morning partying with the boys.

You had even developed a routine, Brian was a creature of habit he would always be home by 3am like clockwork. He would never come home super drunk but you always like to be there to help him just in case.  

When you arrived home, you got ready for bed and set your alarm on your phone for 2:30am and then went to bed.

2:30 came way quicker then you had hoped it would, you got up and sat on the couch to wait for Brian. However, 3 am came and went but Brian hadn’t come home yet, you began to panic this wasn’t like him at all.

You were all of a sudden woken up to the sound of a kettle boiling, you must have somehow fallen asleep on the couch last night.

You drowsily walked into your kitchen to find a tried looking Brian making tea, you so relieved to see he was okay but your temper began to boil at the sight of him.  “Why the hell didn’t you come home! I was so worried about you!” your sudden outburst caused Brian to jump.

“Jeez Y/N, it's fine I got too drunk so I decided to sleep in my car, calm down.”

“Calm down?! I was worried sick. God your such a twat sometimes.”

Brian began to laugh and walked closer to you, “Aweeee, does someone care about me?” you couldn’t help but let out a little laugh the goofy smile of his always got you.

“Of course I care about you. You’re my best friend.” he pulled you into a tight hug before whispering in your ear, “Are you still mad at me?”

You shook your head and smiled up at him, “No but you better not do that ever again.”

—————————————————————

Here you were yet another late night spent in the studio with the boys, not that you minded. If you weren’t at your flat you were most likely hanging out with the boys. You had met them at a pub and you had instantly clicked with them. They had immediately started inviting you places, people were quickly able to assume if Queen was there you would be there with them. The day you became friends with them was the day you gained a second family. They were like your older brothers, well at least 3 of them were. You’d like to think of a certain guitarist as more than a friend but it was clear he didn’t share the same sentiment. He saw you like the rest of the guys did, he saw you like a friend and had protective instincts over you as a brother does with his sister.

The other boys were very aware of your feelings for Brian but, he was oblivious. Roger would always whisper dirty comments in your ear if he saw you were staring at Brian, he got great amusement out of how red you turned. Freddie would always try to set you and Brian up, he would drop the most flagrant hints but either Brian didn’t notice or he didn’t want to.

This night in the studio was no different. “Hey Y/N, Brian looks a little parched, how about you go in there and him his water bottle.”

“Fred he already has a water bottle in there.” you pointed towards the bottle at Brian’s feet.

“No dear that one is warm now you wouldn’t want Brian to have to drink warm water, would you” You grumbled under your breath about how annoying Fred was being as you grabbed the water bottle and headed into the sound booth.

“Fred don’t you think it’s time to stop torturing her, Brian isn’t showing any interest in her and Y/N is too nice of a girl to be waiting on him.” John hated to watch your shoulders deflate every time Brian ignored your advances.

“I think he just needs one big push, we all know how shy he is.” Freddie was adamant that you and Brian were a perfect couple, in his words you two were meant to be together.

“I think John is right, it’s sad.” Roger was watching you and Brian through the glass.

“Here Bri, I brought you water.” He stopped strumming his guitar so he could take the water.

“Thanks, Y/N.” He patted you on the back. Your shoulders sunk as you nodded and made your way back into the control room. There it was again, another back pat, another sign that you are just a friend to him, it stung but you’d get over it.

You flopped on the couch and sighed, “That’s it I’m giving up on him officially.” You checked the time on your watch and said: “Does anyone wanna go get a few drinks with me it’s only 11.”

Roger nodded “I’ll come, I wouldn’t mind a few beers.” You nodded and turned to Freddie, John and Brian who had just come out of the booth. “

What about you guys, are you coming or not?” Freddie smiled “Yeah we’ll all come.” Brian having not heard the first part of the conversation was totally lost “Come where?” Nobody bothered to answer, they knew, either way, he was coming.

As soon as you arrived at the club, you headed straight towards the bar and started ordering shots. “Someone is a little too eager to get drunk.” Roger said as he took the empty seat next to you.

“I have a plan dear Rog, I’m going to get drunk and then hook up with someone. I need to just get over him and what better time to start than the present.”

Roger was a bit shocked at the words coming out of your mouth. “Be careful then Y/N”, you nodded and downed another shot.  The rest of the boys slowly found you two and sat down.

“Jeez Y/N, you might wanna slow down.” You knew John was only trying to be helpful but you didn’t need to be babysat tonight.

Before you could even answer John, Roger piped up, “Nah don’t worry John, Y/N has a plan.” You knew Roger found this whole situation very amusing but you haven't really wanted Brian to find out what you were doing.

You didn’t even have a chance to change the topic when Brian said, “Oh yeah, what’s the plan.” Now Roger was really laughing, before you could stop him Roger managed to stop his laughing long enough to say, “She’s going to get drunk and well then she’s going to get laid.”

You didn’t know what was more embarrassing the look on Brian’s face or the redness of your own cheeks. “If you’ll excuse me, I gotta go.” You downed your last shot and made your way past the boys and to the dance floor.

“I think Y/N has the right idea, she could really use to get some.” Freddie said, as much as he liked the idea of you and Brian together he knew you had to move on for your own sake.

“You can’t be serious Fred, she could get hurt! We can’t just let her go home with a random stranger.” Brian didn’t understand why the other boys were not as concerned as he was.

“I’m going to go find her,” before Brian could even stand up, Roger grabbed his arm. “Leave her be, we take home random people all the time and she never says anything to us, let her have some fun for once.”

Brian now began to panic he couldn’t see you anymore. “Roger let go of me, she’s drunk, she could get taken advantage of, you gotta let me go get her.”

Freddie who was quiet throughout this whole conversation finally decided to pipe up, “Why do you care so much Bri?”

Brian was baffled by Freddie’s question, “What do you mean why, she could get hurt by some creep!” Brian looked around at the other guys, he desperately wanted one of them to back him up.

“Bri, “John added, “I think there’s something else going on.” Brian was starting to get angry now,

“What do you mean something else going on?” Roger and Freddie were just smirking as John replied, “I think you like her, I think you’re jealous.” Brian was totally lost at this point “I don’t… I don’t have a crush on Y/N.” he was a stuttering mess, he couldn’t believe that the other boys thought he had a crush on you, it was ridiculous… “

Too bad,” Roger added as he took a swig of his beer, “she has or after tonight had a crush on you.” Brian’s head was spinning, he had to find you.

He began to desperately search the packed club for you. After what felt like hours of him searching for you, he spotted you dancing a little too close to a tall brunette.  He immediately rushed towards you and grabbed your hand and pulled you away from the brunette. You stumbled behind him trying your hardest to regain your balance.

“What’s your problem Brian, I like him.” You were pissed, you would never do anything like this to him.

“I needed to tell you something, it’s urgent.” His eyes were pleading you to stay and hear him out, you rubbed your hands over your face in aggravation before saying “I’m sure it could have waited till tomorrow but, now that I’m here, what is it Bri.”

Without hesitation, he said, “Y/N, I love you.” You froze, your mind was racing 100 miles an hour.

“That’s not funny Brian.”

‘No Y/N, I’m dead serious, I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life, I love you, I’ve loved you for a while.” You had to take a moment to process what he was saying to you. After what seemed like minutes of agonizing silence you reached up and kissed Brian. It was better than you had ever imagined, it was soft, sweet and passionate all at the same time. When you finally pulled away Brian was smiling

“Does this mean you love me too?” You smiled,

“Of course Bri, I love you, I always loved you.”

He pulled you in for another kiss. When he broke the kiss he put an arm around you “How about we go tell the guys the good news?” You smiled and nodded. The boys were sitting in the same spot they had been when you left. John was the first to spot the two of you, a smile spread across his face as he alerted the other two guys.

Roger was the first to speak, ”Congrats Y/N, you officially broke out of the friend zone.” You couldn’t help but laugh, you had somehow managed the seemingly impossible, you had successfully made it out of the friend zone and you couldn’t be happier.
