December 29th, 1970 was Brian and Roger’s one-year anniversary. To commemorate the occasion Brian had surprised Roger on Christmas day, with a trip away to Thailand, one of the places on Roger’s bucket list. The two boys were spending Christmas with their fellow band mates, Freddie and John, who were sprawled out on the sofa, atop of one another, legs tangled together as John played with Freddie’s hair, occasionally planting small kisses upon the boy’s head. The younger blonde boy was ecstatic with this gift, and peppered Brian with kisses all over his face when he found out. The other couple laughed at Roger’s excitement, but none the less enjoyed seeing their best friends so infatuated with each other; their love was like no other, it was something out of a fairy tale. Their flight left Gatwick at 17:00 on December 26th meaning they would arrive in Thailand the following day, leaving time for the pair to sleep of their jetlag before their special day and the following eleven days they would spend in paradise.

“Bri… hurry up! We need to leave now in order to get there on time.” The younger boy huffed. He couldn’t contain his excitement about finally being able to explore the world, having never left the country. “I’m coming baby, I’m just making sure we have everything we need.” Brian replied lovingly, watching the lips of his boyfriend turn into a small pout at being told to wait a little longer. After scanning his eyes over his packing list one more time, Brian was certain they would have everything they could possibly need and turned around to pull the still pouting boy into a hug. Roger melted into his boyfriend’s touch, as all the panic of being late evaporated, and he nestled his head into the crook of Brian’s neck, enjoying the warmth of his boyfriend. A small whine of discontentment escaped the blonde boy’s mouth as Brian pulled away, but this was soon replaced with delight when he released that this finally meant they were ready to leave for the airport.

Twenty-five minutes later Roger had finally found a parking space, and the two boys hauled their bags out of the boot of the car, ensuring they had all valuables close to hand, yet in a safe space. Brian glanced at Roger, only seeing anticipation in his ocean blue eyes, that Brian had fallen in love with the moment he met him, yet he was still slightly anxious for him as he knew that Roger was claustrophobic, and was therefore uncertain with how he would be feeling when they actually boarded the plane. The couple made their way hand in hand through the airport towards the check in desk where they quickly handed over their luggage and passports and received their boarding passes, which Brian safely held onto as he knew the blonde was quite prone to misplacing things. Starbucks was their next stop as it was currently 15:00 and neither of the two had eaten since breakfast that morning.

Brian found a booth in the corner of the café while Roger went and ordered, knowing Brian’s order off by heart. As Roger made his way back over to Brian with one medium hot chocolate for himself, a black coffee for Brian and a gingerbread man to share between them, a smile tugged at his lips at the sense of fulfillment the curly haired boy had brought into his life. Thinking back on the past year and a bit, to when they first met and the months that followed of secret crushes, that were of course exposed by Freddie, after they had both confided in him that they liked one another, to the first couple weeks of dating, the first time meeting the parents, the first kiss and finally the first time spilling those three vital words – I love you. Roger had never actually sat down and thought about it, but he had spent a lot of his firsts with Brian, however he truthfully couldn’t think of anyone he would rather have spent those precious moments with. Sliding in the seat across from his boyfriend he passed over the coffee, taking a small sip of it and relishing in the warmth that took over his body. Breaking the peaceful silence, the couple chatted away about all the thing that they wanted to do while they were away. Time seemed to slip through their fingers, as the next time Brian glanced at his watch it was already 15:58 meaning they would need to leave soon in order to get through security and find their gate so they could get ready for boarding. Collecting their belongings, they quickly put their rubbish in the bin and made their way towards security, which they passed through surprisingly quickly and with no problems, meaning they could then venture towards gate 39. Nerves started to creep into Roger’s mind as he started to become apprehensive about the realization of being trapped inside a plane for the next thirteen hours, however Brian recognized the younger lads panic and gently squeezed Roger’s hand to let me know that he would always be by his side.

Roger had never been great at verbalizing his insecurities or concerns however it was something they were working on, so as Roger came to trust Brian more and more, talking about these things was becoming easier, and with Brian’s promise of always being there for him and never laughing or judging him Roger felt safe knowing he would never be pushed to tell Brian anything he wasn’t comfortable with yet. “You okay baby?” Brian’s voice brought Roger out of his thoughts, as he realized he hasn’t spoken since they had finished up at the café. Nodding his head in response, not trusting his voice not to crack, Roger tried to keep the tears that pricked in his eyes from falling, as to not let Brian in on how nervous he actually was. Brian of course knew how the younger boy actually felt and was glad to pull him onto his lap as they reached the seating area by their gate. Roger’s head fell straight into Brian’s neck, taking in the scent of his aftershave while trying to calm his breathing, as a soothing hand rubbed small circles on his back. “talk to me baby, I know you’re worried but I will be there all the time helping you” Brian whispered into the blonde’s ear as to try not to draw the attention of any other passengers. “I know I know, it’s stupid to feel this way, but I just started thinking about the plane and then not being able to get off and it, and it just overwhelmed me” the younger boy replied, slightly muffled by Brian’s t-shirt. “It’s not stupid my love, everyone gets nervous about something” Brian spoke softly, “look at me darling, I’ll always be here for you”. Roger slowly raised his eyes to meet Brian's, who just looked back at him with slight concern but mainly love, which made Roger's panic subside a little as he knew Brian was right, he would always be there by his side.

Brian handed over their boarding passes to the lady on the desk, with one hand still snaked around his boyfriend’s waist as they made their way down the jet bridge and onto the plane. Having be welcomed by the air stewardesses and directed towards their seats, Brian was glad he had decided to pay the little bit extra for first class seats. Over the past four months of planning this trip, Brian did everything he could to make sure it would be perfect, he worked two jobs to bring in some extra money, while still concentrating on his studies and finding time to play with the band. As well as this, he always ensured he could still spend some evenings lounging on the sofa, the smaller boy in his lap, little yawns escaping his mouth, as Brian tangled his finger through his hair.

They found their seats on the plane and Brian placed their hand luggage in the over-head compartment as Roger was too short to reach. The blonde boy had tears staining his cheeks and his eye were still a little red a puffy, however Brian thought he looked just as beautiful as ever. He quickly took his place beside Roger and instantly pulled him closer, making the shorter boy squeak. “How are you feeling now baby?” Brian questioned into the tresses of blonde, and although he knew the answer, as he could feel Roger's heart beating rather rapidly, he knew trying to get Roger to speak about his feelings would be beneficial for the both of them. A small voice replied “I’m still very anxious, it’s just, I really want to be excited…”

“I know you do babe, I know, and one we get through this flight, everything will be fine and we can concentrate on making these next twelve days as unforgettable as possible.” Brian whispered, “I’ll put your seatbelt on for you, just try and sleep now. You know I’ll be here right when you wake up.” Luckily for Brian, Roger fell asleep within minutes missing take off, which he was relieved about, as he knew this would have consumed Roger with fear and doubt if he had seen them leave the ground with no turning back now. Peering down at his drowsy boyfriend, Brian was pleased that he managed to fall asleep so soon, although he knew that from their previous late-night activities and Roger waking up super early due to his excitement, this task wouldn’t be too difficult.

The rest of the flight went by rather quickly, with Roger sleeping through most of it, only waking to eat some dinner and then change position to find a comfier one. This left Brian to read one of his new astronomy books that he had received for Christmas from Freddie and John, however as the blonde boy began to stir as they started their decent into land, he knew Roger would need him, and he was more than happy to offer security to his boyfriend whose head was buried into his neck, as to not see the ground becoming increasingly closer. A small whimper left Roger's lips as the plane bumpily landed and the wheels hit the runway, but Brian just continued to rub circles on his back and whisper sweet nothings into his ear as he felt his shirt dampening. “Were here my love, you’ve done it. The worst part is over now, I love you so much! Well done baby.” These words made Roger soften slightly as he realized his boyfriend was right, they had made it, and despite the many tears, Roger was determined to make these next twelve days truly memorable.

Swiftly removing themselves from the plane, much to Roger's relief, the couple made their way to baggage claim, where they collected both their suitcases and walked hand in hand towards the exit. The mixture of the warmth that had hit the two boys as soon as the plane door had opened, and the exhaustion from crying, had caught up to Roger, his eyes becoming heavy again and the taller boy could hear a small yawn that was hushed by his jacket. The amount Roger could sleep never failed to surprise the older boy, however with the effects of the past seventeen hours catching up to him, Brian failed to stifle his own yawn as they quickly caught the attention of a taxi. The driver carefully loaded their belongings into the boot as Brian gently placed Roger into the backseat and safely secured his seatbelt around him, sliding into the seat next to him, his fingers immediately playing with the blonde locks that had fallen over Roger's face as he snuggled into Brian's shoulder. After informing the taxi driver of where they were heading, Brian got his first proper chance to look out the window at the stunning views that surrounded them. It was time like this that he wished he had photographic memory, so he could capture these precious moments and store them away forever, however he did not, and the fact his camera was somewhere in the luggage, which was currently inaccessible, he would just have to hope that his brain would allow him to remember this feeling and his visions for the rest of his life.

The forty-minute car journey from the airport to the hotel provided Brian with just enough time to catch up on some sleep himself as he rested his head on top of the blondes, which was still precariously balanced on his shoulder. The pair stayed asleep for a majority of the journey until the feeling of Roger shifting slightly from beneath him, caused Brian to raise his head. Still not fully awake yet, he found himself lost in those mesmerizing baby blue orbs, resulting in a smile playing on his lips. He quickly pecked the younger boy’s lips, a blush creeping up his face; it always amazed him that still, after all these months, Brian could always manage to make Roger turn into a teenager again, as if it was his first-time dating, but he loved it. The taxi fare was reasonable, and Roger payed it, as Brian collected their bags. They made their way towards the desk inside the hotel, wanting nothing more than to just collapse into bed and sleep, cuddled up next to each other. Fortunately, the woman on the desk was quick to find the keys to the luxury suite Brian had booked, and they headed towards the lift. After reaching the third floor, the found their door and unlocked it, Roger dropping the bag he was holding as his eyes scanned the exquisite room. As you entered the door, there was a huge king-sized bed in the center of the feature wall, with an exposed stone wall behind it. Opposite the bed was a folding glass door that stretched across the entirety of the wall, which led out straight onto a balcony above a private beach, which had stairs leading down to the glistening sand, and rolling blue waves that danced under the last bits of light that were being emitted from the setting sun. There was a door in the wall left of the sliding glass door which led to the spacious bathroom which had a large bath, which Brian knew Roger would take full advantage of, as well as a double sink and outdoor shower.

Roger tackled Brian into a hug, landing them both on the bed behind them and sinking into the soft mattress, hands roaming one another’s bodies as if it was their first time all over again. Clothes were quickly shredded however both boys knew neither had the effort to go all the way tonight, and that they would have many opportunities to make up for it throughout the week; especially now they didn’t run the risk of Freddie or John walking in on them. Forgetting about the bags, knowing they would have time to unpack tomorrow, Brian joined Roger in bed, with the fresh clean sheets enveloping both of them with a sense of sanctuary. The blonde boy shuffled into the taller boy’s chest, who happy placed an arm around his waist pulling him as close as humanly possible. With small breaths present on his collar bone, Brian knew it wouldn’t be long till the breaths became more even and Roger would be fast asleep. With this knowledge, Brian allowed himself to relax and be consumed by sleep too, dreaming about the blissful next days he would get to spend with the love of his life.
