For the ship ask game, (should probs get the obvious out of the way for you here XD) TommyMick/Marlee, vinikki, nikkimick, terrorcest, Vince/Tommy (I don't know if they have an official ship name sorry), Vince/Mick.
I know you like poly!crue but I was wondering how you feel about these ships individually and hoped you could expand on your opinion (only if you want to, no pressure, otherwise you could just rate these ships with no further context, whatever you feel up to :))
ooooooh, get ready for a loooong answer with loads of explanations <3
Tumblr media
this one's very obvious and self explanatory. in my mind, Tommy simply adores his old man. Sure, he plays tricks on him and makes some jokes but it's all out of love <333 Tommy can be a bit much for Mick sometimes (like a playfighting puppy!), but he knows Tommy's the youngest of the group, the most immature and energetic, and tbh I think he kinda thrives on that energy and enthusiasm <3
Tumblr media
ohhhhh, the classic showrunner and his barbie doll/pretty face+voice of the whole band. Their sarcasm and cattiness mesh so well, but they can also be at each other's throats in an instant. Big personalities on the both of them. When they're on bad terms it's Bad bad, but when they're on the same page? Unbeatable. I feel Nikki is quite possessive of Vince, and Vince likes that special focus and attention most times <3
Tumblr media
here comes the angst!!! Both Nikki and Mick are very strong willed and a bit one track minded when they've got a goal in their sights. A very explosive relationship I feel. Similar to Nikki and Vince, Nikki feels a similar type of possessiveness over his old man, a sense of adoration and worship that does weird things to his heart and mind he doesn't dare explore further. Mick doesn't jive with that possessiveness at all, especially when it smothers his creativity and autonomy in the band. Once again. When they're on bad terms, it's bad. But when things are good? They're really good, a strong team working towards a common goal <3 Factor in the sadness of the recent split and drama (and also the history of abandonment and near death experiences and other stuff) there's so much delicious and painful angst as well!!!
Tumblr media
YES the terror twins!!! Literally made for each other. Two hellish imps, destined to cause mischief and mayhem! When they're together, they're like two untamed puppies, loud and rambunctious with a total disregard for each other's or others' safety lol Definitely the ship with the most bruises and lovebites.
Tumblr media
I feel like Tommy awakens some maternal instinct in Vince, since he's the youngest lol Vince always fussing over Tommy, but also laying all his love on him. Tommy soaks it all up like a sponge <3 He would probably also pull some stupid stunts just to get Vince's attention. If it gets to out of hand, they'd end up in a big fight and not talk to each other for a while. But it'd all smooth back out eventually. Can't be mad at Tommy for too long lol
Tumblr media
THE TINY BITCHES GOTTA STICK TOGETHER <3 The appeal of them both being on the shorter side compared to Nikki and Tommy 🙏 I think their sarcasm and strong personalities would mesh pretty well most times, especially if they're teaming up against the terror twins shenanigans lol They also have their bad moments, both finding the other grating to be around. Prissy barbie doll Vince and quiet brooding Mick... But also... opposites attract. I think Mick is best at seeing past Vince's pretty face and really getting him. And Vince appreciates it <3
If you've made it all the way through my rambles, congratulations!!! :D

war?
Fandom: Motley Crue Characters, pairings: minor Nikki Sixx\Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars Rating: Teen so far, may change in the future Warnings: displays of extreme radiation poisoning, violence, unreality (so far) Summary: The boys go into a post-nuclear war-themed quest room, but is it really just a quest room?
idea by @dopefreshprincess, thank you so much for giving me inspiration <3
Chapter 1/?
Word count: 8059
“Wow!” Tommy looked around, eyes sparkling with excitement. “This is sick!”
Nikki did not reply, as did the others were gaping silently at the landscape extending in front of them. Escape room managers always tried to assure them of the reality of the experience, but the layout of all the escape rooms they visited before could be usually proved fake, sometimes by smallest of details. Not this one, though: the desolate, ravaged, post-nuclear war landscape looked uncannily real. They could even feel the hot breeze in their hair, bits of sand carried by it scraping their skin.
A desert sprawled in front of them, the ceiling that imitated the sky painted pale orange, no clouds, the lamp replacing the sun emitting so much heat Nikki could already feel droplets of sweat sliding down his back. Here and there bare, skeletal-looking trees stretched their branches up towards the sky – they barely reach the group’s waists, but trailed along the ground for meters. The only other plant around was spiky grey grass with frail stems. Nikki kneeled in front of one of them, trying to understand how it managed to grow through a completely dry, hardened soil. Wait, that’s a fake, he reminded himself. It was probably made of rubber and just stuck into the ground, it didn’t need no water.
Nikki reached out and tried to tear the plant out of the ground, but quickly drew his hand back with a hiss. The stem had little hair-thin thorns, sharper than needles. A few of them pierced through his skin and got stuck in his finger. Fuck, those sure as hell weren’t rubber.
“Huh?” Vince turned his head, distracted from fascinatedly observing the location by Nikki’s hiss. “What’s up?”
“Nothing,” Nikki said quickly, knowing how sharp-tongued Vince was. “Just got a splinter.”
“Are you gonna survive?” Vince inquired in a serious tone, but with a sly smile on his lips.
“I hope so,” Nikki muttered, trying to be angry at the mocking smile Vince shot him and failing miserably. “Careful with these things. They’re damn realistic.”
“Told you, these guys make the best escape rooms I’ve ever been in,” Mick said. He was the only one to remain relatively unimpressed, though his gaze lingered on the sand dunes a little bit longer than needed. “It’s gonna be a real survival quest, so buckle up.”
“Ain’t no quest too hard for us,” Tommy grinned. “Let’s set a world record on this one, lads.”
“Hell yeah!” Vince joined him, eyes sparkling. “The harder, the more fun!”
Mick rolled his eyes in exasperation. “That’s why you two absolutely can’t have nice things. You’re on a thin fucking ice, Sixx,” he added, side-eyeing Nikki.
“Hey, I haven’t even said anything!”
“I know you well enough.”
Nikki huffed with annoyance, but purely to keep face. He knew, of course, that Mick was right.
“Are we setting off at last?” Tommy was practically jumping with excitement. “Come on, come on, you snails!” he waved his hands in an inviting gesture. “Could you speed up a little?”
“We ain’t in a hurry,” Mick cut him down, but carefully stepped off the platform that took them to the location. The platform rose up swiftly and disappeared in the sky. Nikki traced it with his eyes. They would not be able to call it back, only in an extreme emergency, and the level of emergency was going to be decided by the quest room staff, who were supposed to watch the travelers constantly. In reality, though, when Nikki peeked into the security room half of the cameras weren’t working, and the only guard there was too busy playing his new Nintendo switch. So they couldn’t really count on staff; from now on they had to complete the quest to get out. Usually it added to the thrill, but now Nikki’s guts felt uneasy at the thought.
“Hm.” Mick stomped his foot on the ground. “The sand is very thin. We shouldn’t have any problem walking.”
“Then let’s walk!” Vince called, fidgeting in his place. “I wanna see the destroyed city replica! Is it gonna have real radiation there?”
“You ask me? Boy, I’ve never been here. I can only tell you what Chris told me, and he never mentioned it. Everything is possible. Do you even know where the city is?”
“It’s gonna show up eventually anyway, no?” Vince tilted his head. “The quest zone is not that big.”
“Why are you so sure?” Mick raised an eyebrow. Nikki could feel frustration radiating off him. He probably wanted to make every second of this adventure worthwhile instead of speedrunning it. “Besides, you ain’t getting to no goddamn city without supplies and gear.”
“Aren’t they in the backpacks?” Vince frowned, then pulled his backpack off his back. The easiness with which Vince tossed it around was suspicious, like it carried no weight whatsoever.
Nikki weighed his own backpack with his arm and a cold shiver ran down his spine. How could he not notice how light it was?
Meanwhile, Vince had already opened his bag, and his eyebrows arched in surprise.
“There ain’t nothing there!”
“The hell-“ Nikki pulled at the zip and tore the backpack open. His bad feeling proved right - it was empty.
“Mine too!” Tommy shoved his hand inside, feeling the material up as if trying to find secret pockets there. The thin, chip fabric of the backpack couldn’t hide any pockets within it even with the most intricate design.
“Same thing”, Mick pursed his lips, having checked his. “Shit’s getting interesting.”
“The hell we’re gonna do without supplies? We are in a desert!” Tommy exclaimed, throwing his backpack to the ground with frustration. “We paid for an empty backpack?!”
“What, the quest suddenly too tough for ya?” Mick snorted, but then his face softened at Tommy’s helpless expression. “Relax, kid. They ain’t gonna let their clients die. We’ll probably find supplies along the way.”
“They probably aren’t gonna just lie there in the middle of a desert, though,” Nikki said. He could understand Tommy’s disappointment – the quest from the average difficulty just switched to expert, and Tommy was never the one to enjoy meticulous resource-gathering instead of fighting and cracking codes. He, however, didn’t seem to share Tommy’s feelings – instead, he could feel anticipation building up in his chest. This was gonna be a real test of character, and he was gonna show everyone he could pass it. Especially Vince.
“No shit, Sixx,” Tommy murmured, still worked-up, but relaxing slightly. “Then where the hell are we supposed to find them? We don’t even have a map.”
“Hey, quit whining,” Vince joined in. He didn’t seem to be upset in a slightest, though his flippant smile disappeared from his lips. “Nikki is right. We gotta find a city or some settlements. They must be full of lost stuff. And we’ll get a shelter from the heat.” He wiped sweat off his forehead, caught Nikki’s gaze and smiled with corners of his mouth. When he turned away, Nikki smiled back.
“Well, I’ll look at y’all after a couple of hours walking through the desert,” Tommy muttered indignantly, but didn’t continue his rant. He went to a big rock a few feet away and plopped onto it with a grim expression. Mick, Nikki and Vince exchanged looks.
“Okay, so what are we doing now?” Vince asked in a low voice. “I’m already thirsty. Where’s that city of theirs? Mick?”
“Don’t ask me,” Mick waved his hand. “I haven’t been here before, remember? I just know that it exists. I don’t think it’s that far away, though. The zone can’t be bigger than a day or two of walking. The building didn’t look that big to me from the outside, at least.”
“These plants probably have some water in them, like cactuses,” Nikki nodded at the grey spiky grass. “You could try sucking on them-“
“No, thanks, I’m not that desperate,” Vince interrupted him, rolling his eyes. “So what, we’re looking for a city?”
“Well, you’d rather stay here?” Mick raised his eyebrow. “No? Good. I swear, a little bit more of this senseless talk and I’m leaving without you.” He turned his back to them and headed forward, not sparing them a single look.
“Why is he so pissy?” Vince muttered to Nikki.
“Angry because of the supplies?” Nikki shrugged in response and looked back at Tommy, who was still sitting on the rock with his back turned to the rest of the world. He seemed to hunch, looking at something on the ground. “Hey, T-bone! We’re leaving!”
“Uh-huh,” Tommy murmured, not paying them any attention. What, was he refusing to come with them?
Well, that was getting ridiculous.
“T-bone!” Nikki approached him and not so gently slapped him on the shoulder. “Are you coming?”
“Yeah,” Tommy looked up at Nikki distractedly. “Nik, do you think this map is supposed to have enemies?”
“I’m gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t” Nikki grinned. “But probably not in the middle of a desert. Maybe in the city. But we’d be supposed to find weapons for them, wouldn’t we?”
“Yeah,” Tommy nodded and rose up from his rock. “Where we going?”
“Looking for the city,” Vince said from behind Nikki’s back. “We’re pretty sure it’s somewhere close.”
“You’re sure,” Tommy made a dissatisfied face. “Okay, if you’re so sure, let’s go there.”
“You’re such a pain in the ass today,” Vince told him, but with no malice in his voice. “How’d you survive in a real apocalypse? Y’know, when there are no supplies lying around, prepared specifically for you?”
“Well, there ain’t gonna be no apocalypse in my lifetime,” Tommy shook his head, picked up his backpack and headed after Mick, who was already a tiny silhouette against the orange skies and seemingly had no intention of waiting for them.
The thin layer of sand was easy to walk on, and their heavy boots prevented them from getting sand between their toes. What they weren’t preventing them from, however, was the heat. The lamp imitated the sun a little bit too well; as it traveled across the sky (Nikki wondered if it was fixed on a rope or if some mechanism did the moving), it became hotter and hotter. Soon their jackets were off, and their t-shirts were soaking wet.
“How long has it been? Two hours?” Vince asked, fanning himself with his stupid cowboy hat that Nikki hadn’t managed to talk him out of wearing. “I swear, if we don’t find water soon, I’m gonna drink my own piss.”
“I can offer you another, much more nutritious fluid-“ Nikki was interrupted by a backpack flung at his face and barely managed to duck in time. “Hey, you could’ve just said no!”
“I’d rather die of thirst,” Vince promised gloomily, but before he turned away, Nikki caught a glimpse of a smile on his face. He sped up to catch up with Mick. Nikki didn’t want to march forward alone, so he slowed his pace, waiting for Tommy.
“What kind of enemies do you think we’re gonna encounter?” Tommy asked him, somewhat anxious.
“No clue, dude,” Nikki said carelessly. “Some mutated rabid rats? Mad scavengers? I hope it’ll be mad scavengers. The robots we were shooting last time were too predictable.”
“And the weapons?” Tommy didn’t seem relieved by his words in a slightest.
“I hope paintball guns – so you can see when you hit someone, y’know. Laser guns are too glitchy.”
“You think it will be just actors?” Tommy shot him a glance. Nikki frowned. Why was he so worked-up anyway? They were on a quest, they were supposed to have fun, not worry.
“Of course. Do you think they’re gonna release actual animals on us or something? That’s just a game.” Nikki shook his head at Tommy when he opened his mouth again, no longer willing to answer weird questions. “Come on, let’s catch up with those two. Or they’ll find loot earlier than us and will take all the alcohol.” He grabbed Tommy’s arm and pulled him forward. Tommy followed, like a puppet obeying every twitch of its master’s fingers.
Half an hour later, literally nothing changed. The sky was the same sickish orange; the sand was crumpling under their boots with barely audible crunching sounds. The tension was hanging in the air like fog, enveloping their little group whole, getting more and more thick. The frown on Mick’s face deepened with every their step.
“I swear, if I knew how fucking big it would be…” he began.
“Hey, hey, no need to apologize,” Nikki interrupted him.
“I wasn’t,” Mick flashed him an irritated glance. “I wanted to say I’d tell Chris to stuff his recommendations up his ass. I fucking knew he’s a survival games junkie. He gets a kick out of harsh conditions. Unlike me.” He stopped so suddenly Tommy almost collided with him. “That’s it. We’re making camp here.”
“Not that we have anything to make that camp with,” Tommy murmured, but wilted under Mick’s stern gaze. “You can sit on your backpack,” he suggested hastily. “Or on that rock over there-“
“Um, guys,” Vince, who wandered away during their conversation, spoke up from where he was bending over to the rock Tommy offered Mick to sit on, “you need to see this.”
“What’s that?” Mick shuffled towards him. When his gaze landed on the rock, his eyebrows flew up. “Holy shit.”
Mick and Vince’s troubled faces evoked a bad feeling in Nikki’s gut. The feeling of wrongness that hatched in his stomach ever since they discovered the backpacks were empty raised its head again, making him shiver. He almost didn’t step forward to look at the rock, almost turned away. Almost.
Run, the rock said in uneven, shaky handwriting, probably done with chalk, probably in a hurry. Run.
“What the hell?.. Nikki raised his head to meet Mick’s gaze, knowing he had no explanation for this, but still nurturing a stupid little spring of hope that the smartest of them, the oldest of them would be able to explain it. But Mick’s face showed nothing but bewilderment. And… what was that?
Tommy approached them quietly from the back, read the inscription and inhaled sharply through his teeth with a hiss. He said nothing. It was weird, but not weirder than this entire fucking thing.
“It’s a joke, right?” Vince said in a shaky voice. “It must be a joke.”
“I’d love to tear off the arms of whoever wrote this and shove them up their ass,” Mick muttered disgruntledly. “Not funny at all.”
Nikki just nodded, kneeling in front of the rock. He rubbed the word with his thumb, wanting to see if it could be erased easily. His thumb got a little dirty, but the writing remained intact. Nikki licked his finger and tried again, to no avail.
“That’s not chalk,” Mick said, frowning. “It would erase. Why the hell didn’t Chris tell me about this shit? Maybe he did it?..”
“I don’t think so,” Tommy said suddenly. “It looks old.”
“And the sky is orange here, do you think it really is in real life?” Mick cut him off angrily. Tommy bit his lip and stared at the ground, fidgeting with something in his hands. “It’s probably just a prank by another visitor. Well, good job, asshole, now you’ve got everyone worked up.” He turned his back to the rock. “Dunno about you, but I’m not gonna stand around this goddamn rock all day. We still need to get supplies somehow.”
“Yeah, right,” Nikki nodded, getting up and lining up with Mick. “Let’s go, guys. It’s getting late.”
“I’ve heard deserts get super cold at night,” Vince remarked. “We better find a shelter by the time the sun sets.”
They set off again, but the decisiveness that floated in the air when they just entered faded. Instead the tension and frustration returned, and there was a new one now - fear. The latter was completely illogical, Nikki tried to persuade himself, but all in vain – the icky cold lump in his stomach remained, gaining more thorns the more Nikki thought about the writing on the rock. Fuck, he definitely needed a drink. He could only hope the supplies would have alcohol – they usually did, allegedly for medical purposes.
Nikki didn’t know how much time passed. Maybe half an hour, maybe more. It was hard to determine with the sky the same orange color, the “sun” invisible behind thick clouds. Eventually, though, it began to get colder – Nikki only realized that when he caught Tommy shiver. Already sulky, Tommy now looked like a ruffled chick that just fell out of the nest.
Nikki was already thinking about suggesting calling it a night and making camp where they were when Vince broke the gloomy silence.
“There’s something ahead.”
Nikki squinted, staring forward. Against the sky, now reddish as the “sun” was setting, was a group of silhouettes.
“Those might be just mountains,” Mick said, barely trying to cover the exhaustion in his voice.
“They’re too upright for mountains,” Vince shook his head. “The sides are too flat. And anyway, that would be better than spending the night in the middle of a fucking desert. My throat is dry as a fucking sandpaper.”
“Whatever,” Mick threw his hands up. “We ain’t got nowhere else to go anyway.”
They headed towards the shadows in the distance. Although none of them was ready to say it, reaching something after an entire day full of sand already felt like a small victory. They might even find a cave to sleep in there, Nikki mused. Now even a rough rocky mountain soil was better than getting sand in their asses.
But as they drew closer it became clear those were no mountains. Though destroyed and decayed, those were buildings. Soon they reached a road – battered and covered in sand, but a road nevertheless.
“Hell yeah!” Vince smiled triumphantly. “Told ya we’re getting there!”
“Okay, okay, don’t forget to mark this date down. It’s not often that you turn out to be right,” Mick grumbled, but relief in his voice was obvious. Vince rolled his eyes, but did not say anything in return – maybe didn’t want to spoil the mood. Even Tommy cheered up. They sped up to reach the city before the night set.
It turned out to be farther than they imagined, and when they did reach the city, it was already night. Just as Vince said, the heat was soon replaced by freezing wind, so they weren’t feeling picky and headed to the first building on their way. The left half of it lay in ruins, concrete mixed with metal, crooked metal rods sticking out of the walls that were still standing. Nikki touched the concrete – it was cold and coated his fingertips in dust. The right half, though, remained relatively unharmed, apart from shattered windows. It even still had a door intact.
“With our luck, I won’t be surprised if the door is locked,” Mick muttered as he touched the door handle with uncertainty. It easily yielded under his touch. He carefully pushed the door.
A musty smell enveloped them, the dust in the air making them cough. It was dark inside, and the windows didn’t provide enough light to make out details – the night was moonless, and there were no stars in the sky, - but this just made the image more uncannily real. How did they make the dust covering the floor look like it hasn’t been touched in ages while the building probably had visitors the very night before them?
“I can’t fucking see anything,” Mick grumbled somewhere ahead. “Should’ve brought headlights.”
“There must be at least some loot in here,” Nikki tried to cheer him up. “Maybe there’ll be flashlights.”
“There might just as likely not be any,” Mick sighed. “But at least we won’t have to sleep in a freezing wind. Though it’s not much warmer here either, those goddamn windows-“
A loud crash followed by a yelp interrupted him. Mick and Nikki shot each other alerted looks and sprinted towards the source of the sound. In the corner of the room, there was a hole covered by a thin sheet of metal – apparently not strong enough to hold a man’s- Vince burst into the room, waving around a metal rod in his hand that he probably pulled out of a broken wall, - not strong enough to hold Tommy’s body weight. Nikki plopped onto his knees and peered into the hole. Vince grabbed him by the collar, to make sure he wouldn’t fall. It was so dark down there they couldn’t even see the floor.
“Drummer, you alright?” Mick called out anxiously, staring into the darkness of the hole intensely. A second of silence felt like an hour, Nikki’s heart skipped a bit. Then Tommy spoke from down there.
“Yeah… I think.” They listened intently to the rustling and creaking from down there as Tommy tried to get on his own two feet. “I’m al- oh, shit!” something heavy fell onto a metal sheet with a loud clatter.
“T-bone?” Nikki called again, but received no response. A little lump of anxiety in his stomach reminded of itself again as it began to unravel. “Tom, fucking say something!”
“Fuck,” Tommy finally hissed. “My knee hurts as shit.”
“Broken?” Vince tried to catch a look of Tommy, but the view of the hole was obstructed by two dark messy heads.
A few pained breaths later, Tommy replied. “No, I don’t… think so.”
“Can you stand?” Nikki jumped up, looking around the room for a ladder, or a rope, or, at least, a wooden bar to put into the hole. But the room was barren, apart from a few chairs looking like they would turn to dust the moment they’re touched, ruined bookshelves with burned black books scattered across the floor, and a broken computer standing on the only remaining desk.
The desk had three drawers and a cabinet. The cabinet was locked. The drawers were mostly empty, one even had a couple of dead cockroaches in it. Nikki almost overlooked a little cylindrical object in the corner of the lowest drawer. He carefully touched it. The surface felt like cheap plastic.
Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a flashlight. Nikki fidgeted with it for a bit and found a button, which he carefully pressed. The first couple of seconds it wasn’t lighting up Nikki’s heart skipped a bit; but then a weak ray of light shone through the dirty glass.
“Guys! Look what I found!” He dashed back to the hole, where Mick and Vince still stood, quietly discussing something. Tommy’s voice from down there joined them occasionally.
“A flashlight?” Mick raised an eyebrow. “And that’s all?”
“Well, do you want a stage projector instead?” Nikki snapped back. “This is better than nothing. Tommy, can you walk?”
“Not sure,” came a muffled reply. “Gimme a sec… Ouch.”
“So no?” Nikki frowned.
“Well, I can stand, but it hurtsб” Tommy reported. “Not sure about walking. I can’t see a thing, and there’s so much debris here, I don’t wanna break a leg on one of them.”
“Well, then I’ve got you covered, pal.” Nikki showed him a flashlight. Tommy squeezed his eyes, trying to make out what Nikki was holding. Then he beamed.
“Man, that’s great! It’s definitely a part of the quest, so we’re on the right track! Give it to me, I’ll try to look around.” He caught the flashlight thrown by Nikki. “Eh, man, they could have put better props here. This one looks like it’s from a gas station.”
“What, you think they would give you top-tier gear here?” Mick raised his eyebrow. “Be thankful for what you have.”
“Hey, don’t be so bitter,” Vince stood up for Tommy. “For all the money they get, they could have bought better props as well. This thing looks like it may kick the bucket at any moment.”
Nikki decided not to listen to their banter anymore. “Look for a ladder, or at least a rope,” he told Tommy and moved away from the hole to walk one more time around the room in case he missed something. He tried to sit in a chair, but it cracked so threateningly under him he decided not to tempt fate. Then he turned to bookshelves. Books were often used to hide clues; maybe that was the case here as well?
However, most books were burnt and battered. Nikki opened one, but the pages were so dark the text was unintelligible. Some of them were glued together, others torn. It was just another fucking prop, Nikki realized, flinging the book into the wall in frustration. Just a waste of a good book-
The book crashed into the wall and fell onto the floor, pages flying around. One of them was significantly lighter than the others. It landed right next to Nikki’s feet, as though inviting him to pick it up.
Well, Nikki rolled his eyes, for sure that wasn’t supposed to be a clue or something like that, not at all.
He picked up the piece of paper and turned it upside down. On it a few numbers were written, in ornate, neat handwriting. Must be a password or something. But for what?
Nikki turned around, and his gaze fell on a seemingly dysfunctional computer. Why did he assume it was dysfunctional first hand?
Nikki carefully touched the keyboard sprinkled with dust. They really did a good job making everything look old and abandoned. He pressed the space key, then ran his fingers along the keys, pressing many at once – no reaction. Then he reached out for the turn-on button. Also no reaction.
Oh well, it wasn’t going to be as easy as this, after all. Nikki stuffed the paper piece in his pocket and returned to the hole, where Mick and Vince conversed lazily. Judging by the occasional streaks of light landing on the walls, Tommy was exploring down there.
“Oh, hey, guys, it’s pretty nice in here!” he shouted, attracting their attention. “Is that a fucking potbelly stove?”
“What? Are you sure?”
“Well, I’ve only seen those in movies but it does look like one. And what are those…” his voice quietened for a few seconds as he was fussing with something. “Guys! There are sleeping bags here!”
“Really?!” Vince would have dove into the hole headfirst if not for Mick who grabbed him unceremoniously by the collar. “Hey, what the fuck, man?!”
“Who the fuck is gonna drag you two up then? My back won’t let me, you want Sixx alone to do it?”
“Well, if there are sleeping bags, then there must also be a ladder or something,” Vince muttered, ashamed. “Isn’t it clear that’s a checkpoint?”
“No, it isn’t,” Mick cut him off. “Not until we find a lad-“
“I found rope!” Tommy’s jubilant voice rang through the building. Mick, stopped mid-sentence, pursed his lips.
“Hey, Mick, do you think I should start a notebook to mark down when I’m being right?” Vince patted his shoulder, grinning. Mick shook his hand off.
“Bring it here,” Nikki said, looking around for something to fix the rope on. The table seemed sturdy and heavy enough, but they all were grown adult men as well. Nikki headed over to the table and tried to move it, to no avail. Maybe it was screwed to the floor for this very purpose.
“Hey, we can fix the rope to the table over here, if it’s long enough,” he suggested.
“Might work.” Mick glanced towards it and nodded. “Though I’m not a keen rope-climber…”
“Me neither,” Nikki tried to reassure him. “I always failed at it on the P.E. lessons”
“You had rope climbing on your P.E. lessons?” Mick raised an eyebrow. “Wow. Schools sure have geared up since I graduated.”
“We also jumped a bench,” Nikki recalled, “and did pull-ups on a bar. Oh how I hated it.”
“Y’all are spoiled,” Mick murmured. “All we had were a ball and the teacher’s whistle. A volleyball net, if the school was fancy.”
“Hate to interrupt your sweet chatter.” Vince suddenly appeared behind their backs. He already held the end of the rope in his hands. “But if I don’t get into a sleeping bag within five minutes, I’m gonna riot. You checked the table?”
“Yep, seems trustworthy.”
“Mick, your time to shine,” Vince offered him, the only one among them knowing how to tie a reliable knot, the end of the rope.
“You forgot a magic word,” Mick grumbled but kneeled in front of the table. “There are rope traces on this table leg already, so it must be the right way.”
“Are all clients supposed to hurt themselves falling through the floor?” Nikki wondered, kneeling beside Mick. He loved watching his rope work, though never managed to do it quite like him.
“You wanted adventure, you got it,” Mick replied, his fingers quickly working.
“Well, yeah, we all know it’s just an imitation,” Nikki shrugged. “A pretty good one, but still.”
“There wouldn’t be one if all those people didn’t actually want it to come true, even in part.”
“Well, I don’t,” Nikki resented. “I don’t want the world to fucking burn to the ground. And all those people don’t, too. They just want to… I dunno. Feel like movie protagonists for a while?”
“Movie protagonists always have a purpose. They don’t go out into the wild just because they love the wild that much.” Mick finished the knot and got up, cutting their conversation short. Nikki tried to follow him but hit his head on the tabletop.
“Ouch!” he fell back on his knees, checking his head for damage. Just as he reached for the sore spot on his head, he noticed a wire that was running along the wall of the cabinet and sliding into a hole on the floor. The wire was connected to the computer. Oh, so they need to fix it in the basement for the computer to start working, Nikki realized. That the computer was supposed to be turned on he had no doubt, or there wouldn’t be a password in the book.
“You alright?” Vince asked when Nikki crawled from under the table and got up. “We don’t need any more injuries here.”
“I’ll survive,” Nikki promised. They headed towards the hole where Tommy already stood with the flashlight, waiting for them.
“Wait a sec, I’m gonna move all those debris away,” he hurried to clear the floor under the hole, stumbled on something and hissed in pain. “Shit! I hope there’s a first aid kit somewhere here.”
“If you still can walk, then it’s not that serious,” Mick told him. “Not a fracture or a broken bone at least. Gonna heal in a couple of days.”
“Yeah, but where are we gonna get these couple of days?” Nikki murmured so that Tommy wouldn’t hear him. “Our time here is limited. We can’t just waste it waiting for him to recover.”
“What are you gonna do then, send him back?” Mick snapped. “Let him hobble through the desert alone, with no supplies?”
“Well, no, of course not,” Nikki mumbled ashamedly. “But we could… I dunno… investigate the location while he heals his ankle?”
“Yeah, and he totally won’t jump after us on one leg the whole way,” Mick said sarcastically, diminishing Nikki to a puddle on the floor. He didn’t bring the topic up anymore.
Vince was the first to descend, carefully sliding down the rope. Tommy, beaming, waved the flashlight around, demonstrating the room so proudly he as though had decorated it himself. A smile slowly widened on Vince’s face.
“Come look!” he called them. Nikki climbed down the rope so fast he burned the skin on his palms. Mick wasn’t that eager to follow; quite on the contrary, he stood up there looking around for a few seconds and then hurried out of sight.
“The hell he went to-“ Tommy began, but Mick was already back, dragging something clanging with him.
“We are gonna attract the entire local wildlife with the light and the voices,” he explained, breathing heavily. “Better cover up.”
“Oh, Mick, c’mon!” Vince laughed. “Who are we gonna attract? Actors are all at home sleeping at this time.”
“Some of them work night shifts,” Mick reminded as he carefully lowered his legs into the hole and wrapped them around the rope. He grasped the metal sheet he brought and drew it over the hole, leaving only a small crack. “And some of them aren’t people,” he finished once his feet were firmly on the ground.
Vince huffed, but did not continue the argument. And Nikki was thankful to him for that.
The shelter they accidentally discovered was small but neat. It was a little bit warmer here, without the wind, but the walls still couldn’t really protect from the cold. They were probably drywall, but they did look appropriate for the location - like old, weathered-down concrete. Even the smell was authentic, dusty and heavy. Four sleeping bags were laid out around the potbelly stove in the center, looking old but functioning. A pipe ran down one of the walls with a very convenient tap in the middle. Every now and then a drop of water fell down from the tap onto a small wet spot on the floor. In the corner there were some boxes piled up on top of one another, and in the other – wooden crate. The entire location was poorly lit by groups of green, toxic-looking mushrooms in the corners and on the ceiling. They looked so real Nikki had to grab and feel the material of one to confirm it was rubber.
“Were you in a real apocalyptic setting, this one could have burned off the skin on your fingers,” Mick muttered.
“Glad we aren’t,” Nikki said, words coming out a little bit strained. “Though there probably wouldn’t really be mushrooms glowing with radiation. Is that even possible? Won’t it just kill them, like any other living thing?”
“Nature always finds a way,” Mick said, kneeling on front of the potbelly stove and peeping inside. “Jeez, this one belongs in a museum. And we need coal or wood to light it up.”
“There were carton boxes in the corner,” Nikki nodded towards them. “What about a lighter? I hope we won’t have to use a flint or something.”
“I have one,” Tommy said from the corner where he examined the crate, fingers carefully running over the lid. He “I had to take out my sigs, but they didn’t notice the lighter.”
“That’s technically cheating,” Vince said lazily, already sprawled on a sleeping bag. “But practically you just saved us a lot of trouble.” He sat up, his shoulders twitching from cold. “Damn, it’s freezing here. Gimme the lighter.”
Tommy threw it over his shoulder in Vince’s direction, missing by a few feet at least. Vince caught it nevertheless – probably the only time his baseball school team skills were put to use.
“Don’t burn the entire basement,” Mick advised half-heartedly as Vince trudged to the boxes in the corner. Vince grumbled something unintelligible in reply.
The cracking sound from the other corner distracted them.
“Guys, I think I found supplies,” Tommy said, holding up the lid of the crate that he had just opened.
“What’s there?” Mick and Nikki rushed towards him. Vince looked at the box he held in his hands for a second, dropped it and joined them. “Any food?!”
“Well, those feel grainy,” Tommy brought a plain fabric bag to his eyes, dug his fingers into its sides. “Cereals, probably.” He put it back, picked up some other package and shook it. “Those sound like crackers.”
“Three cans with corn,” Nikki reported, rummaging in the other end of the crate. “And, uh, ramen,” He dug out a familiar-looking box. At least they removed the plastic wrapping that they have on in stores.
“Any fruit, veggies?” Vince peered over their shoulders. “No? Well, we aren’t gonna last long on such a diet.”
“We aren’t gonna stay here long either,” Nikki reminded him. “What did you expect from a post-apocalyptic setting, an all-you-can-eat buffet?”
“Nothing, man,” Vince retreated, “I’m just saying, we’ve seen plants and trees on our way here, some edible plants could as well survive too- uh, nevermind.”
“That’s all good and stuff, but where are we supposed to put them? I haven’t seen any plates here.”
“Over there, in the corner,” Mick headed to the farthest, most poorly lit corner of the basement, which Nikki overlooked at first, and with a clang pulled out a pot, rather old and battered, but seemingly without any holes. “But these need to be washed first, or we all will get poisoned.”
“I’m busy with the fire,” Vince immediately said, grabbing the box he dropped and holding it in front of himself in a protective gesture. “Tommy can do it. Or Nikki.”
“Guys, there’s something else beneath the food,” Tommy said, pulling out a yellow box with a black wire. “Some device?”
“Oh!” Mick’s face lit up for the first time during the day. “That’s a Geiger counter, if I’m not mistaken. Since we’re in a post-nuclear war wasteland, it’s gonna prove useful.”
“Does it work from the batteries?” Tommy turned it over in search of a switch. “Because there might be problems with electricity here.”
“It’s supposed to,” Mick took the box and examined it as well. “The limit for this one is 5000 mSv – uh, what are mSv? – and I have literally zero idea how dangerous it actually is. Did anyone read up on the theory before the quest?”
He received only confused mumbling in response.
“Do you think anyone else who completed this quest did?” Vince finally said defensively. “I’m pretty sure they weren’t experts on radiation either.”
“That does not excuse our ignorance,” Mick sighed. “Well, 5000 is a big number so if there is this much radiation, it’s not safe.”
They fell silent for a second, only Tommy kept rummaging in the crate. Finally, he fished out something with a victorious yell.
“Knew it would be here!” He waved a piece of paper in front of their faces. “Vince is right – they wouldn’t have given us this thing without explaining how it works. There are some numbers here – I guess radiation levels, but I can’t see them, it’s too dark.”
“Gimme,” Mick immediately snatched it from Tommy’s hands, receiving an indignant yelp in response. “Shit, I can’t see a thing either. Vince, what’s up with the fire?”
“This damn carton doesn’t want to burn,” Vince said from where he was kneeling in front of the potbelly stove. “It just chars.”
“Lord, why do I have to do everything myself,” Mick raised his eyes to the moldy ceiling. “Hold this and don’t let go for dear life,” he handed Vince the piece of paper. Vince pressed it to his chest in an overplayed protective gesture. A few curses later the carton finally caught fire from the lighter, and the flame started strengthening slowly but surely.
“Now, gimme.” Mick grabbed the paper and brought it closer to the fire, maybe a little bit too dangerously close. “Yeah, drummer was right. So, 2 mSv is what a person receives daily, 100 is what radiation workers receive in 5 years, 1000 causes cancer in 5% of people exposed… doesn’t sound too dangerous to me. 5000, though… kills a half.”
“Shit,” Vince commented laconically. “So anything above 1000 is a big no-no, we get it.”
“Pretty much,” Mick nodded. “How much is here, I wonder. Turn this thing on.”
Nikki reached out and pulled the switch. The arrow wandered a little over the bar, but never ventured into even remotely dangerous areas and finally stopped on 12 mSv.
“Well, that’s a little more than usual but still not much,” Mick concluded. “But we should be careful when advancing into the city. It’s supposed to have suffered a nuclear blast, and radiation will go up the closer we are to the center.”
“You think it will ever reach the limit on the counter?” Tommy asked, anxious.
“Don’t think so.” Mick waved his hand in the air. “But we gotta check it frequently, just in case.”
Nikki, who was silent all this time, finally spoke.
“I mean, it’s nice that y’all are enjoying yourself so much, but can we at least stop pretending that there’s actually radiation? This thing just shows what it’s programmed to show. There ain’t no radiation neither here nor in the city center. Where the hell would they get it from?”
Mick raised his eyes, examining Nikki with his piercing gaze. He wasn’t angry or disappointed – thoughtful, rather.
“Well,” he finally said a few seconds later, “there are two things to this. First – when in Rome, do as Romans do. Second – how do you know the radiation isn’t real?”
“How?” Nikki frowned, surprised by Mick’s answer. Mick’s, who was the most sensible of them all and the least prone to stupid illusions. “Because this ain’t real post-apocalyptic wasteland, and these walls are built out of drywall, the sun is a lamp and the mushrooms are made of rubber!”
“And what is radiation made of?” Mick asked. “No, really, how can you fake radiation well enough to deceive a Geiger counter? Because the counter is very real, we’ve been given those at school”.
“Well, then it’s programmed to show what it shows,” Nikki retorted. “And we can’t actually prove it’s not lying.”
“Nor that it is,” Mick replied. “Of course, this is all just a big game of pretend, Sixx. But it doesn’t matter that everything here is fake. We’re gonna take the counter with us anyway; even if it’s lying, its data will show us what places to avoid, since it’s been programmed, as you’re claiming. It was left here for a reason.”
“I guess,” Nikki sighed, turning away. He didn’t know how to explain that their interest and excitement was a little bit too fake in its genuineness. He knew how quests worked. He has completed them many times. A couple of riddles to solve, a couple of actors dressed as zombies to “kill” with laser guns. The ultimate satisfaction upon reaching the end – and after that, all-encompassing boredom again, again, until the next dose of adrenaline.
And this one is going to be just the same. Should be just the same.
Oh god, please let it be just the same.
“Anyway,” Mick broke the silence first. “I’m putting this thing in my backpack, but we’re gonna take it out regularly to check radiation level. Now, I don’t know what about you, but I’m hungry as hell, and the dishes question still stands.”
“Nikki should do it,” Vince said immediately, receiving an “et tu, Brute” look from Nikki. “Since he’s such a wet blanket.”
“Yep,” Tommy quickly counted the odds and sided with the right people. Nikki shot him a death glance. Tommy smiled sheepishly, but didn’t take his words back.
“Well, then go on, Sixx,” Mick handed him the pot, and Nikki wanted to put it on his friend’s head. With a loud bang. “We’ll sort out the rest of equipment while you’re busy.”
The water from the tap was cold, but seemed clean and only smelt a little of metal. Nikki rinsed the pot and the plates he was handed, not quite thoroughly, but the others were too hungry to notice. Meanwhile, Vince and Tommy dug out of the corner three empty plastic bottles, tastefully rumpled to look old, but nevertheless functional. As hard as they tried, they couldn’t find any cutlery, though. Apparently, desert rogues in a post-apocalyptic landscape were too down-to-earth to eat with spoons.
Soon they were sitting around the potbelly stove watching the water heat up terribly, terribly slowly. Nikki never paid attention to how much time it takes to heat a liter or two of water. This fire was no match to his electric kettle back in his apartment. But that was probably why kettles were made anyway.
“So, what do we have?” Mick spoke again. He didn’t seem to like the role of a leader much, but this quest was like no other – without him, the other three would have probably given up by now. “Three packages of cereals, four packs of crackers, three cans of corn which we’re gonna eat right now, a pack of noodles, the Geiger counter, a flashlight, sleeping bags, a pot and four plates and three water bottles.” He sighed. “And not a single medical item. That’s not much. Drummer, how’s your leg?”
“Hurts,” Tommy said honestly. “But like, more in a dull, pulsating way. I can bear it. I can walk even. I won’t make you wait, I promise.” He was nervous, his eyes darting between the other three, checking their reactions. “Just don’t send me back. This quest is so much fun, I don’t wanna miss it.”
“Okay, okay,” Mick raised his hand in a calming gesture. “Nobody was going to leave you behind anyway, right?” His eyes stopped on Nikki, and a frown was sent his way. Nikki huffed and turned away.
“Thanks, guys,” Tommy said with visible relief. “I took one for the team to find this amazing place, after all.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re a hero,” Nikki reassured him distractedly. He was getting cold: he could feel how icy the floor was even through the fabric of the sleeping bag. “D’ya wanna light up the fire a little bit? It’s freezing here.”
“You can try, but I tell you, that won’t be enough,” Mick shook his head. He was sitting hugging himself on the sleeping bag, his feet propped up right against the stove for more warmth. “These boxes don’t burn hot enough. We’re gonna need coal or lighter fluid. Which we don’t have.”
“Sucks,” Vince murmured, for the first time in a while. That was strange – he was usually the most talkative one of the bunch, challenged only by Tommy.
Nikki leaned in to him, examining his face anxiously. Vince looked at him tiredly from under his eyelashes, but didn’t move back. His lips were of sickly bluish color, his fingers grappling the folds of his jacket, fruitlessly squeezing them together, unnaturally white.
“Are you alright?” Nikki whispered to him. Vince jerked his head towards him, a sarcastic retort ready to drop from his lips – but then, a tired sigh replaced it.
“Is that really so noticeable?” he whispered back. “I mean, you guys don’t seem to be bothered by it much. But Nikki, man, I’m gonna turn into an ice statue soon. I can’t feel my toes already.”
“Shit,” Nikki ran his gaze across the room again, hoping to find something, anything that could help. But, apart from the trash in the corners, discovered nothing new.
“Get in the sleeping bag,” he said finally. “At least put your feet in it. And take my jacket. Corn’s gonna be done soon, a nice hot meal will warm you up. And we’ll put together some kind of tea after that-”
“Hey, chill, man,” Vince smiled slightly. Nikki felt the tips of his ears warm up. “I ain’t taking your jacket, I don’t want you to freeze to death. Just… I dunno. My hands are so cold…”
“Here,” Nikki moved so close to him their knees bumped together, gently wrapped his hands over Vince’s wrists and guided his hands under his jacket, where his body warmth collected. They felt like ice chunks even through his t-shirt. Vince sighed with pleasure and closed his eyes. Nikki caught Tommy chuckle quietly and made a scary face towards him. Tommy raised his hands in pretended surrender.
Everything was okay. Everything was going to be okay.
The corn was consumed in tired silence. Thanks to the potbelly stove, the room did warm up slightly after a while, and a meal after a long day of walking made them all drowsy. By the rules, they should have left a guard up, but none of them dared to suggest it, afraid of being the one picked to watch. And what could get them in a basement of a destroyed building in the middle of a desert?
A lot, it turned out later, but that night they slept soundly, still happy in their ignorance.

Wendy and The Lost Boys Chapter Three
Summer was ending and Nikki realized that Sasha was not going to be permanently living with them. At first it started because she was going out more and then there were a few boxes that appeared in the living room one day. She wasn’t going out as much anymore as she tried to adjust to the schedule she would have in school.
Sasha was sitting in the window frame that acted as a door. Her coffee in one hand a book balanced on her lap. The LA sun was shining against her skin, the sun highlighting her blonde hair. The cigarette hung from her lips as she turned the page to her book, her bare foot sliding in the concrete outside that she was using to keep her balance. She glanced down at the street waiting for Tommy’s parents to pull up. They would be helping her sign in and get settled in on move-in day.
“Why do you sit in the fucking doorway?” Her head snapped up seeing Nikki walking up the stairs. Her eyes rolled as she shifted to stand inside the apartment. He glanced down at her bare feet, scooping her up and dropping her on the couch when he saw a cockroach. “There’s bugs in the apartment, Angel, you know better.” She tucked her feet under her watching Nikki sit down beside her. He had expected her to be gone already. He had spent the night out and even broke his rule about sleeping over just to avoid seeing her leave.
“Why have you been avoiding me?”she asked, leaning closer to him. Nikki was laying back rubbing the hangover that was settling in strongly. Sasha pressed her cup of coffee into his hands, making him open his eyes, almost shocked to see her sitting close to him, “Since I told you I was leaving you’ve been acting like I’m gone.” Nikki tried to sip the coffee she had given him to keep himself quiet. How did she always make the perfect cup of coffee? But she was looking at him, her blue eyes seeming to stare holes in him.
“Is that my shirt?” she looked down at the Trex shirt she was wearing. “Why are you always stealing everyones clothing?”  He wasn’t mad about it but as soon as it came out of his mouth he realized how bad it sounded. Sasha stood up, tugging off the shirt aggravated. She threw it at him, the fabric covering his face.
“You are a self centered prick, Nikki Sixx.” He was shocked to see her standing in her white bra, her black tiny shirts barely covering her. Her hand on her hips as she went to walk away, “No. No. No. No.” she came back into the room, “I do not understand you at all. Sometimes you’re so nice to me and you want to hang or talk and other times it’s like you’re a stranger. You turn into a total prick. Like the fucking shirt thing? Nikki, cmon. This apartment is like one Unisex closet.” she tossed up her arms frustrated. “I’m leaving today and I’m leaving on bad terms with you because of how you decided to act and how you decided to treat me. And when I don’t come to shows or I don’t talk to you at shows you can remember this last month where you put your stupid head up your big dumb ass.” she went to leave again sure that she woke up everyone in the apartment but he grabbed her wrist pushing the shirt into her arms.
He held her for a beat longer as she looked up at him with those big blue eyes. He wanted to kiss her and tell her to stay in the apartment. He’d pay for her to take cabs there if she wanted to go to school but he wanted her to stay. And the way she was looking at him made him aware of what he had to do; if he asked her to stay she’d say yes.
“Have fun at college, Angel.” he walked towards his room slamming the door behind him. Sasha pulled his shirt back over her head and turned, giving the closed door a two finger salute. There had been this tension between Nikki and her since she spent the night in his bed. She was sure that if they just fucked and ripped the bandaid off it would be gone. But she also knew she couldn’t be that one time girl and Nikki, as much of a sleaze as he was, wouldn’t fuck her like that.
“Sasha, Tommy. Are you two ready?” She turned waving at the set of parents standing outside the window and knocked, pushing the door open to Tommy’s room. The sting of tears seeming to come up without her realizing she was crying. She wiped the tears away with the back of her hand grabbing the sunglasses and pushing them on along with grabbing her purse.
“Tommy.” She pressed her toe into him before kicking him, making the drummer groan as she sat down on the edge of the bed sliding onto the bed to pull her shoes in, “Parents are here to help me move. Are you coming?” She asked this knowing he wouldn’t say no to her.
“What’s wrong?” Tommy asked as he pulled on a pair of questionably clean leather pants. He was already lighting up a cigarette without even being awake for five minutes. “I thought I heard yelling and you’re wearing sunglasses inside.” He was pulling on his chucks and she wondered how he could bend his legs in those pants.
“Your bassist is a prick.” She told him, moving to make the bed. She always made the bed for them; at home his mother had always done this after breakfast. It was a small habit that she had picked up, loving the feeling of someone caring about her enough to have a clean place to sleep in. Tommy gave her a funny look wondering what the hell that meant.
“He couldn’t be that bad. You’re wearing his favorite shirt. That’s the only thing other than his bass that he left Seattle with.” She couldn’t get another word in because Tommy was dragging her through the apartment ready to get her off to school. All she could think about was Nikki.
It had been a week of Sasha being out of the house. Not even a full week more like five days and they had let the apartment go to shit. Tommy had taken to setting cockroaches on fire leaving black charred spots in the carpet, no one was doing the dishes anymore so at a part they had taken to smashing the dirty plates she had bought against the wall above where Vince was trying to get with some chick, and their clothes all needed to be washed because she wasn’t there to remind them to go to the laundromat. They had survived on beer, cocaine and cigarettes for the week and were all missing the young blonde who had been keeping them in line more than they realized. So they came up with a plan.
It was Friday night and they weren’t playing a show until tomorrow night. So they all got into a taxi with booze headed to the campus to see Sasha. They fell out of the taxi twenty minutes later getting looks from a few people. Tommy lead them over to the building she was staying in and up the stairs to her dorm room. They were all being loud, the excited energy to see her building with each step. As they knocked on the door waiting for her to open up they were sure she’d be so excited to see them.
“Are you looking for Sasha?” A girl asked peeking her head out of the room nextdoor. They nodded, “She got invited out to some club on the strip. They all left an hour ago.” The girl told them.
“Sasha went out to the Strip without us?” Vince asked. He had been dragged along with the promise of eager college girls and now was trying to accept that this wasn’t happening, “Wait, did she go with her roommates?” He asked hoping they could at least catch up with her and he’d still have a shot.
“Yeah, and some girls from a sorority that wants her to pledge. The boys from the fraternity picked them up to take them all out.”
“BOYS?!” Tommy and Nikki both said at the same time. The girl looked at them like they were all lunatics. Which was pretty accurate with the way that they were acting.
“Thanks. Let’s go back to the Strip.” Vince was pulling them out eager to get to where the party was.
Nikki was seething as they got into the cab. He was drinking the Jack Daniels he had brought and smoking cigarettes without saying a single word. Tommy was trying to figure out where they could be but he already knew exactly where she was going to be.
“She’s at Gazzarri’s, Tommy. It’s 18 plus and she always used to try to get us to go dancing all summer. Now she found people to go dancing with her.” Nikki was going to break someone’s hands if they were dancing with her. He didn’t know why he was so mad about everything.
“Give me the beer and I’ll take it back to the apartment. I’m not going to some fucking disco music club.” Mick told them, grabbing the beer off Tommy’s lap as they pulled up to the club.
“She’s probably just having a good time with her new friends. I think you’re both overreacting.” Vince warned as they walked into the club. “She’s 18 and in college. She needs to have friends that aren’t the terror twins.” Tommy and Nikki were not going to listen to the singers good advice. Everyone headed inside the club. The music was trash being played by some shitty Top 40 band, not the stuff they had her around all summer. They all split up ready to make sure they found her and she was okay.
Nikki saw her first. She was in this silver striped halter top jumpsuit that had no back and was cut so low in the front that as she danced she knew everyone was waiting for something to spill out. Her blonde hair was curled at the edges with a silver headband tied around her. Thin arms moving as tinkles of silver bracelets slid up her arm drawing even more attention to her. She had to be wearing platforms if she was looking that tall on the dance floor. Her cheeks were pink with these bright cherry lips just begging to be kissed. There seemed to be a constant stream of people coming up to her asking her to come sit at their tables but she just laughed holding onto some girls hand or asking them
If they wanted to go. She was guiding people to the tables so she stayed elusive. Nikki watched someone hand her a drink, the way her mouth opened letting some fucking prep slip some pill in her mouth, the way she smiled around his fingers before sipping her drink turning to dance with her friends again and leaving him had Nikki pushing through the crowd to get to her. Super Freak Started playing and he watched the way her hair was shaking and the smile on her face. She was so easy in her happiness with these strangers around her. Nikki on the other hand felt his ears bleeding as he thought about going to the roof after this and jumping off.
He finally got over to her as Private Eyes started playing. Nikki audiably groaned as she spun her hands clapping along to the song. Why the fuck did they have to play Hall and Oats? He had spent the summer trying to scratch the record that didn’t seem to want to break. Nikki was shrugging off girls finally reaching out to pull Sasha close to him. She gave him this look like she was going to yell at him until she realized who it was. Her eyes were as big as saucers and he thought for a second she was shocked to see him but she was high as could be. Her body shimmying against him as her arms wrapped around his neck with easy laughter.
“What the fuck did you take?” He asked trying to get her off the dance floor but it didn’t see that they were going to get away from all these lunatics clapping. Sasha rolled her hips into his, her blonde hair shaking as she thought him trying to drag her off the dance floor was a new dance. Her hands moved to clap making him lose contact, “Jesus fucking Christ, what is wrong with you?” He grunted as she brushed against him, her back to him as her ass brushed against him. Why did this freeze him? Her body moving to the beat of the music with small interruptions of claps and laughs.
“Private eyes, they’re watching you.” She was singing in her soft voice. His arm was in her hips as he tried again to guide them off the dance floor, this time with a bit more luck. “Oh, man, Nikki. You finally came out dancing with me.” She turned, throwing him off balance and making him stop and look at her again.
“Did you do blow?” He asked her curiously; the erratic way she was acting threw him off. She laughed leaning into him and reaching into his jacket pocket pulling out his cigarettes helping herself to one. She turned around and smiled as someone reached out lighting the cigarette for her. How the fuck was she doing this? Nikki wondered.
“Black beauty. It’s a little pill and man, Sixx. I can focus and get everything done at school. And dancing is so fun.” As much as Nikki liked drugs and liked seeing Sasha with that big smile on her face he didn’t like the two of them together. He shook his head, Vince was dancing and obviously didn’t care they had found the girl they came for but Tommy spotted them heading over.
“Jesus, are you high?” Was the first thing he asked her looking at her wide blue eyes. She laughed at him in response. “What the fuck?” Tommy asked, guiding them into a booth and sliding her in between the pair of them.
“She took a Black Beauty.” Nikki explained ordering a Jack Daniels. Sasha ordered an Alabama Slammer and Tommy just got a beer, “What the fuck did you just order?” Nikki asked her confused.
“You’ve been in college for a week and you’re doing drugs and making up weird names for drinks.” Tommy shook his head watching the way she just laughed it off. “Are you having fun? Do you miss me? Are you sleeping at night?” He asked her genuinely concerned about her.
“It’s so fun, I’m going to pledge to a sorority. It’s so easy to make friends but like a lot of girls go to college just to get married so that’s weird. But I miss you so much Tommy. And to sleep I just take half a Quack.” Nikki looked at her and shook his head.
“You’re moving back in with us. Fucking uppers and downers, is this some sort of joke?” Nikki asked, he didn’t like all these changes. She had left in scuffed up Keds and now she was in a barely there shiny jumpsuit, drinking some red drink. The only thing that was the same was she was smoking his cigarettes.
“You’re being very uncool.” Sasha said side eyeing him. She held up her drink letting Tommy try it. Before she could elaborate more about why he was so uncool, three girls were squeezing into the booth with them.
“Oh my gosh, this place is hella radical! You were like so right, Sasha.” Some curly haired blonde said not seeming to notice the men.
“Honestly, your bod is rocking in that jumpsuit. I knew when we were shopping you’d look amazing. Like all those super grody frat dudes couldn’t get their mitts off you on the dance floor.” A brunette butted in. Sasha was climbing over Nikki’s lap as he tried to push her back into the seat next to him. He wanted a barrier between her and these ducking chicks speaking in Valley talk . Another girl slid in besides Tommy and she was trapped on his lap.
“Great move, Sixx.” She muttered annoyed as she perched on his thigh. He looked over at the drummer who seemed to be wrapped up in the newest addition to the table. She readjusted, pressing into his lap and he knew he couldn’t move her: “Nikki, Tommy, these are my girlfriends Jessica, Jennifer, Ashley and Tiffany. These are some of the guys I was telling you about.”
“That’s THE Nikki?” The one named Heather asked leaning forward, “I guess you guys are really in a band.” She commented looking at the two boys. Nikki was lost with what “the” Nikki meant. He was even more lost with the high pitched voices and stupid phrases these girls were saying and how Sasha was taking like she had been born a Valley girl. When he saw Tommy spilling out of the booth with Tiffany he pulled Sasha along with them.
“There’s a show tomorrow night at The Rainbow, you can see we really are a band then.” He threw his arm around Sasha moving out of the club with her tucked under his arm, “Your friends are loud.” He told her as they poured onto the packed sidewalk of the Strip.
“Okay, old man.” She teased him easily but was secretly thankful he had gotten them out of there. Sasha was still mad about what had happened back at the apartment before she left. As she came down from her high as they walked she stuck out her hand, hailing a cab. “I’ll see you around, Sixx.” She said moving from him and sliding until the yellow cab. He gave her a confused look sliding in next to her.
“Why are you taking a cab when the apartment is around the corner?” He asked as they pulled away. She was looking at him with annoyance shining in her eyes. Obviously she wasn’t high anymore and for some reason that was making her way less fun.“Why are you mad at me? Don’t give me attitude, Angel.” She looked at him surprised that he would even ask that, “Oh you’re still mad about last month?” He asked as if he hadn’t ignored her and been a complete dickhead.
“You hurt my feelings.” She said digging in the small purse for her cigarettes, pulling out the red pack and lighting one up, “And you did it on purpose to be an asshole.” She told him as she cranked the window down to let out the smoke.
Nikki watched her, the way her blonde hair was done and her makeup. She probably had to get one of the girls to help her sign everything. Her clothing was so different from her everyday look of a band shirt and a denim jacket that he had seen  her practically live in for six months. It was like a week away had changed her and gave her a new look on how people were. She was absolutely gorgeous and he wondered if she knew it. He let his hand wander across the vinyl seats, his pinky finger tracing her fingers before he took her hand in his own.
“I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.” She gave him a small smirk, looking to see the serious way Nikki was staring at her, “But I knew that if you went to college you’d change. It’s been a week and we’ve already found you dancing looking like you’re ready to be on the cover of a magazine.” She gave him a serious look to match his own.
“Hustler or Playboy?” He was staring at her not seeming to understand what she was asking, “For the magazine. Because you’re more of a Hustler guy and I’m more of a Playgirl girl. Some of us are classy and some of us put everything on display.” Nikki smiled, this is what he had missed. Her stupid one liners and joked with her. When the taxi stopped she jumped out looking at him, “Pay him and let’s go. I’m cold.” She motioned to her outfit and started walking towards the door to her dorm building. Nikki threw money in the front heading in behind her.
The dorm hallways smelled like pot and he was surprised at how much it was like being in the strip. There was loud music and kids that were out of control. The only difference was most of these kids had money or at least had an idea of what their life would be like. The Sunset had this seedy feeling about it but once they were in the small room with the two beds the feeling was gone. It was obvious that her bed was on the left from the Keds that were peeking out from under it and the band posters and Polaroids tacked to the wall.
“Before you sit down can you unbutton this?” Sasha was kicking off her platforms moving over to him looking a little more normal as she pulled out her silver headband. She turned when she was in front of him, pulling her hair forward and exposing her back. Nikki licked his lips, his fingers going to get delicate buttons of the halter top.
“What’s this from?” His fingers felt the scars on her shoulder. She had always covered up so he never saw the cluster of raised skin before. She shivered feeling the halter top click open but Nikki’s fingers were still tracing the marks.
“Tommy’s singer and I dated for a few years when I was a kid. He attacked me one night, he beat the hell out of me and used a broken beer bottle to stab me. That’s what those are from. If Tommy and his mom didn’t come to the apartment that night I would have died.” She had her arms crossed against her chest but shifted letting the shiny fabric pool at her feet, “That’s when Tommy’s family took me in and so became a Lee and why he treats me like I’m made of glass sometimes.” She explained. Nikki frowned, his lips moving to kiss the skin.
“I’m sorry someone hurt you.” His breath tickled her ear as his mouth moved back leaving these soft, feather kisses on the mass of scars. Sasha wanted to kiss Nikki but she was still letting his hands slide down to hold her panties, his fingers hooking into the lace like he was about to rip it down. She could feel him pressing against her and knew Nikki wanted her. “I can’t have sex with you.” His head fell into the crook of her neck and she was sure she was going to die of embarrassment right there. Her whole body had been reacting to his kindness.
“What?” She asked into the darkness. Her head was muddled and she couldn’t figure out what the hell he was trying to say to her, “You fuck anything with a pulse.” She teased trying to keep it light and wanting to feel his hands touching her. She had only been with one person before and never had her body turned to pure goo in his hands. Nikki could smell her soap, her skin from dancing, and even a trace of perfume that was new. His lips traced her neck wanting to suck the spot there that would make her knees buckle. He wanted to leave angry purple marks that said keep away to others.
“I can’t be what you want from me. I’m not going to hurt you.” Sasha gulped hearing what he was saying to her, trying to process his words when her body was trying to confuse her. “Do you understand what I’m trying to say to you?” Nikki asked. His breath was tickling her ear and she felt like she should bend over something and just let him at it. Nikki’s knuckles were white holding her panties, afraid they were going to rip from the pressure but needing to keep his hands off her or he couldn’t be held responsible for what he did.
“Yes, wait what... no.” She wanted to turn and look at him but she was so confused. She could smell Nikki behind her and it was just making it harder to understand what he was trying to say to her. The feeling of leather on her bare skin as he shifted behind her caused a soft moan from her lips. Nikki froze hearing this.
“Please, don’t make this harder, angel.” He begged his hands starting to ease out the knot he had tangled them in with her underwear. She stepped forward, away from him, giving them both a break from each other’s bodies. Sasha reached for a shirt pulling it on before turning to look at him. Nikki could see the pink of her cheeks, the heat having settled there. She was wearing his T Rex shirt again. “Nice shirt.” He commented causing her to look down. She remembered how Tommy had told her the importance of that shirt and looked back up at him.
“You don’t want to fuck me because you can’t commit to me. You’ll cheat on me and hurt me.” The way she said it made him feel guilty. But it was the truth. Even if he wanted to commit to her there was no way that his dick would allow him to. He’d get high after a show and the next thing he would know there would be some brunette between his legs as he came down her throat. He couldn’t stop things he wasn’t aware were happening. But Sasha seemed to understand that. She nodded her head. “Okay, well at least spend the night and sleep here.” She had a million thoughts going through her head. “If you want you can come down to breakfast with me and then we can go to the laundromat after. Your clothes fucking stink.” She said turning the blanket over and getting under the covers. Nikki watched her get comfortable as he stripped down to her underwear.
“Thanks for not making things weird between us.” He said as she adjusted to let him spoon her. She had handled everything way better than he had expected her to. Sasha let out a yawn.
“It’s okay. I’ll just fuck other guys and have slutty college years like I’m supposed to.” She pretended to settle down even though she had felt Nikki tense against her. She knew he was angry but kept her smile to himself. She was going to drive him out of his fucking mind for telling her no.

December 8th, 1984
Redondo Beach, California
In the sky above, a purple hue cast over the dark shore that began changing into nightfall. Every modern mansion turned on their front lights, preparing for a quiet evening for some if they weren't rockstars. A trail of expensive sports cars drove down the one way street in search of Vince's all-white mansion. The music could already be heard from two houses down, but those neighbors wouldn't mind as they were gone. Musicians and groupies quickly filled the large home, gathering around in groups between the kitchen to the outside pool. Sabrina sat on the kitchen island, chit-chatting with a handsome dark-haired man that seemed to have the same level of intelligence as her. Emma and Athena sat secluded from everyone around, sitting on the outside bench that made everything quiet around them. Athena would twirl the ends of her light brown hair around her fingers, hanging on to every word Emma said.
In the master bedroom, Sammi grabbed her new bottle of Yves Saint Laurent perfume and sprayed it at the nape of her neck. She tied a high knot down from her white button, showing a bit of skin between her top and tight red leather skirt. Clipping together a brand new gold bracelet on her wrist, Sammi smiled in approval in the long mirror, happy with her look. Vince never gave Sammi enough time to prepare her outfits when he wanted to throw a party, getting into the habit of leaving her party clothes behind. This was another example of that, but the party just seemed a bit off in her. She didn't know what was in her, but Sammi tried to repress it for the night.
Almost all of Motley stayed on the long white sofa that played right in the middle of the room. Tommy poured a drink for himself while Razzle thought for a moment, "Who do you think would love me? Emma or Sabrina?" asked Razzle. Tommy only chuckled at the English man. Mick felt a sharp pain in his lower spine as he tried to grab his drink from the glass coffee table. Nikki couldn't bother to notice, licking clean a bag of coke seeing Tom Zutaut eye him like a scared little boy. Nikki only smirked and raised an eyebrow to him, not saying anything.
"You okay there, Mick?" asked Tommy, finishing off a glass of champagne.
"Yeah… my back hurts from carrying this band every single day," groaned Mick, looking ahead to see Vince chatting with a blonde woman he remembered from the Tropicana. Of course, Vince kept his space, but Mick could see the blondie bimbo smiles they both had. Nikki followed Mick's gaze, turning a playful smirk grimmer.  
"Hey Mick," said Nikki, "Are you in the band?" he said mockingly, pushing his pecs together to imitate a woman.
"What the fuck do you think," said Mick, laughing along with Nikki at Vince still flirt with a different woman. Nikki tried to repress his laugh as Sammi walked right next to the blonde girl, trying her best to seem okay with Vince.
"Hey, have you met my girl Sammi. Wanna have a threesome," said Tom, trying his best to laugh along and be one of the guys. Nikki and Mick immediately became silent, Nikki raising an eyebrow to the goofy young record manager.
"Tom, what the fuck is wrong with you, man? That's Sammi, our girl and Tommy's little sister. That's fucked up, man!" said Nikki sternly, seeing Tom turning worried. "Ah, I'm just messing with you!" shouted Nikki, lightly hitting the young man's sides. Tom relaxed a tiny bit, cracking a smile slowly. "But don't be a dick, man. It's Sammi, we care about her. She's special,"
"Don't be a dick, Zutaut," groaned Mick, crossing his arms over his chest like a mummy and laying further into the sofa. Nikki looked ahead of him, hearing Vince called the woman Sharise and seeing Sammi wanting to leave the conversation. He was able to grab her attention, focusing a smile on Sammi. Nikki wanted to only get up from his seat and grab Sammi to get the hell out of Vince's house. Unfortunately, he didn't and grabbed the whiskey bottle in front to take a swing. Sammi stayed silent as the puffy haired blonde spoke straight to Vince, noticing an accent she couldn't pinpoint. Instead of speaking up, she kissed Vince on the cheek and walked away as Sammi headed to the kitchen. Sammi pushed the hair that fell on her face, politely smiling at all the guests in Vince's house. Walking into the kitchen, she could see Sabrina tonguing down the handsome guy. Sammi huffed under her breath, pouring a glass of champagne and aiming to lift her spirits.
Athena paraded into the big white kitchen, having a smile on her face as she leaned over the island to grab another drink. Her smile flipped upside down as she saw Sammi lost in thought.
"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Athena.
"Vince is talking to some bimbo, and they look a little too close. He almost didn't even acknowledge me," muttered Sammi, drowning herself in more alcohol.
"That doesn't mean anything. Vince is a social butterfly, you know that. Let's just have some fun!" said Athena, grabbing her little sister's hands with a big smile.
"Why are you so happy? You got a little nose candy in you?" asked Sammi, raising an eyebrow. Athena only straightened her shoulders with a more subtle smile on her lips.
"No, I just can't be happy without anything?" asked Athena.
"Oookay whatever you say, A," said Sammi, grabbing a refreshed glass of champagne before walking back into the living room. She could see Mick wander into the backyard where the beach began, unable to make him out as he disappeared. As Sammi sat down on the edge of the sofa, Tommy dropped himself right next to her out of nowhere.
"Hey Sam, you gotta help me!" said Tommy, glancing past Sammi
"Help you with what?" asked Sammi, scrunching her eyebrows together at Tommy.
"You see that blonde girl outside by the railing? In the white dress?" asked Tommy, almost whispering right in Sammi's ear, "Don't make it obvious you're looking!"
Sammi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, what about her?"
"She's from a TV show, right? What's the freaking show called? I know her names gotta be Heather," said Tommy, beginning to bite his nails in anxiety, almost making Sammi laugh at him.
Sammi repressed her smile, a light bulb turning on in her head. "She's from  The Fall Guy , tell her you to love that show. Her names Heather Thomas,"
"That's the show! Thanks, Sam!" said Tommy with excitement, kissing Sammi on the cheek. He strutted out to the backyard, yanking a drink out of a girl's hand as he passed her. Sammi only shook her head, silently praying Heather Locklear doesn't throw a bottle at Tommy. As she watched the exchange, Sammi felt Vince take hold of her hand, snapping her head to him.
"Hey babe, I'm gonna get some more beer," said Vince, almost slurring his words. Sammi's eyes widened, following Vince out the door as he pulled her.
"Vin, are you sure that's a good idea? We already have enough booze to last for two days," said Sammi, digging her heels into the ground to stop Vince. The blondie wrapped his arms around Sammi's waist, giving a sloppy kiss on her lips. Vince could feel the tense muscles of Sammi, slowly rubbing his hands on her back.
"Vince you've been drinking. I don't think you should drive. Please, can you just ask someone else to go get more beers?" whispered Sammi, knitting her brows to Vince with sad eyes.
"Babe, I'm fine. The liquor store isn't even that far from here, I'll be fine in a flash. Then maybe you and I can sneak upstairs for a little alone time," said Vince, kissing the nape of Sammi's neck.
"Just get back soon, please," mutter Sammi, kissing Vince one last time. Vince smiled at her before grabbing his keys on the clean ashtray.
"Razzle, you coming!?" shouted Vince as he walked out of the house. Sammi turned her attention to the sound of footsteps coming downstairs, seeing an intoxicated Razzle.
"Twice today already, mate! Oh, sorry about that, love. Didn't see you there," slurred Razzle, taking off his ribboned top hat and gently placing it on Sammi with a smile. He trailed behind Vince like a happy schoolboy who was ready for an adventure. Sammi bit her lip as she leaned against the front door frame, seeing the red Pantera speed out of the driveway into the streets. "Yeah. Love,"
She rubbed her hands together, having her earlier feeling grow more worrisome. Sammi adjusted the hat, slowly dragging her feet back to the party. Everyone around her appeared to be having a great time. Nikki was only another person who stood out, arms crossed, and bouncing his leg as his eyes just darted around the room. Sammi sat next to him, noticing that even her presents couldn't snap him out of his train of thought. She put Razzle's hat on him and finally made him react in confusion that made Sammi laugh.
"Can I help you?" asked Nikki, putting on a fierce guy look that cracked with Sammi's laugh into a smile.
"No, I've had this weird feeling all day," said Sammi, hugging a pillow close to her.
"This is your way of telling me you're spawning a Vince baby?" groaned Nikki, taking off the tophat. He placed it back onto Sammi, smiling at her pretended look of annoyance.
"I'm not pregnant, I'm just not in the mood for a party. Sometimes it just gets on my nerves when Vince never tells me anything,"
"Well, next time tell blondie you'd be at home watching Dynasty. It doesn't hurt to have time away from us. I know we can be a handful," smirked Nikki
"Hey speaking of blondies, do you happen to know who the girl Vince was speaking to?" asked Sammi, raising an eyebrow.
"Some Tropicana girl we've seen around there. I don't know anything else,"
"Of course she is…" mumbled Sammi, looking down at her nails.
*
After two hours of no one yelling through the front door with beers in their hands, Sammi's worrying grew and grew. She'd glance towards the front almost every second, unable to hear what Sabrina or Emma were saying to her. The party began dying down with only a few people scattered around, not feeling like the house would explode. Her thoughts came to a halt as she could see police cars' flashing lights illuminate in the driveway. Suddenly two police officers slowly walked into the home, looking for a somewhat sober person to speak to. Sammi stood up her seat, dreadfully stepping towards the intimidating men.
"Hello, are you the owner of this house?" asked a tall officer.
"Um, no, my boyfriend owns this house. Is everything alright? We were too loud?" asked Sammi.
"What is your name?" asked the other officer
"Sa-Samantha…"
"Okay, Samantha, we're going to need your full attention right now. There has been an accident caused by Vince Neil, the driver, and the owner of the car. Another vehicle was involved, causing multiple people to be injured. I'm sorry to say this, but his friend in the car with him didn't make it," said the officer, trying his best to seem remorseful. Sammi stood frozen, staring at the two men and almost feeling the room go silent. She turned back, seeing Athena and Tommy slowly make their way to her.  
"Wha-wha-what? Wha-wha-what about Vince? I-I-Is he okay?" asked Sammi, blinking rapidly as she felt her heart begin to race out of her chest.
"He's currently at a hospital near the scene but is under police custody. Once he is cleared for injuries, we will have to transfer him to the county jail for his friend's death. Do you understand the severity, Samantha?" said the tall office. Right as she felt Athena's hand on her back, Sammi broke down in her sister's arms, a flood of tears running down her face. Her chest grew heavier and heavier, letting out gasps and tried to control her breathing.
Once the officers left, Tommy walked out into the middle of the living standing on the glass coffee table. "Everybody out! Everyone get the fuck out of here! Tom, go call Doc right now and tell him what happened. Sabrina and Emma, check upstairs for anybody. Nikki, go find Mick!" yelled Tommy, almost pulling his hair out.
"You don't tell me what the fuck to do!" shouted Nikki
"Vince is going to jail, and Razzle's dead! I don't care who I am, go find Mick!" cried Tommy, lowering right to Nikki's level. Nikki let out a scuff, almost breaking the glass door open as he went outside. Athena sat Sammi down, trying her hardest to calm her hysteria down. "Sam. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna fix this. Doc will fix this okay?" said Tommy, soothing Sammi with so much effort.
"Razzle's gone, Tommy. No one can fix that…" gasped Sammi, crying harder. Sabrina and Emma kneeled in front of Sammi, looking back at the Bass siblings with a worry.  
December 15th, 1984
 In the massive black king-sized bed, Sammi gradually opened her eyes to see the spot next to her occupied by Athena lightly snoring. She rubbed her eyes with the palm of her hands, feeling how puffy they still were with bags under them. As Sammi stared up at the ceiling, everything suddenly hit her like a rock, tears swelling in her eyes again. She covered her mouth to withhold a shaky breath, shutting her eyes tight. Sammi was able to contain herself right as she heard Athena stir next to her.
"Morning… how long have you been up?" muttered Athena, stretching her back like a cat as she rubbed the sleep off her eyes.
"Not long. I've just been here thinking quietly," mumbled Sammi, bringing the thick blanket up to her chin.
"You've been doing that the past couple of days. I'm here when you need to talk, Sam, you can't bottle it up," said Athena, sitting up against the headboard.
"I just can't get the image of Razzle smiling at me right before he left. I know I need to go see Vince today. Phone calls aren't gonna cut it forever," said Sammi, dragging her hands down her face. "Thank god I got a couple of days off,"
"Do you want me to go with you? I can call someone to fill me in at work," said Athena. Sammi shook her head, only staring straight at the ceiling and remaining silent. "At least you have Razzle's hat to remember him by. Some of us only have his hilarious bad flirting skills as a memory," cracked Athena, smiling at Sammi in hopes for a laugh. Sammi only nodded, getting out of Vince's bed.
*
The small waiting room for the county jail was cold, not just based on temperature. The grey walls felt like they were closing in on Sammi as she hugged herself in the wooden chair. She bounced her leg anxiously, glancing around at the 6 other women waiting to be let in to visit whoever. For being so early in the day, Sammi was the most covered up in comparison.
"Samantha Bass. Liliana Herandez. Kayla Richardson. Melissa Lopez. Follow me," announced a muscular man in a prison security uniform, reading off his clipboard. Sammi clutched her purse to her chest, smiling at the scary security officer. All the women placed their bags to be searched and then raised their arms for a pat search. Sammi felt almost gross, having another male security guard patting her legs roughly. "Okay, you four will sit spread out on the tables. No kissing. No explicit touching. You only have 30 minutes to speak to your men. If we see anything against the rules, we will remove the prisoner. Do you females understand?" ordered the security guard. Sammi and all the women nodded, heading to the cafeteria-style tables.
Sammi began biting her nails, keeping her head down even when she heard the gated door open. She saw Vince's shadow sit in front of her, still looking down at the square bench table. "Hey, Sunny. How's my favorite girl been?" said Vince, smiling his best to Sammi. Sammi looked up to see the man she adored look defeated. Dark circles under his eyes, hair tied back, and a fake smile. She grabbed Vince's hands from across the table, still unable to say a word. "Come on, Babe. I know you must have some words to tell me today,"
"It's weird being at your house without you, I'll tell ya that," uttered Sammi, looking dead into Vince's eyes. She didn't smile or pretend to be happy to see him. Sammi was angry. She was mad at Vince for not listening, and she was mad at herself for not convincing Vince enough. "I'm sorry, but right now I just want to yell at you from the top of my lungs, Vince,"
Vince dropped his head, still holding onto Sammi. "I know. I know. Trust me I feel like shit for what happened. Especially being in fucking jail for it,"
"You seriously just needed to stay home. If we needed alcohol so bad, someone else could have gone that wasn't slurring their words,"
Vince stayed silent, lightly grazing his finger against the back of Sammi's hand. "You could've died driving like you did," whimpered Sammi, wiping a tear from almost falling. "What do you know about your charges?"
"Vehicular manslaughter. I could face a minimum of six years since I was under the influence, but Doc has already got some big-time lawyers to help me out. Nice to see him actually visit me, unlike some people," muttered Vince.
Sammi scrunched her eyebrows together, "What? Who hasn't come to visit you?"
"Who do you think, Sam?" said Vince with hurt in his voice.  
"Not even give you a call to check up on you?"
"Nope. So far, it's only been my folks, Doc, and you that I've been in contact with. Not fucking surprised they all hid away," said Vince.
"I'm so sorry Vince, I didn't think you'd be left hanging like this. I thought Tommy would've called at some point,"
"Yeah well when I get sentenced, they'll have enough time to visit me at least once," said Vince, "I really wish I could kiss you right now,"
"Please don't, we only have 20 minutes left, and I don't want you to get in trouble," smiled Sammi at Vince. The two stayed silent for a moment, only holding onto each other for the time they had.
"I love you, Sammi," said Vince
"I love you, too," said Sammi with a smile, squeezing Vince's hands.
*
 Bam Bam Bam.  Nothing.  Bam. Bam. Bam.  Nothing. Sammi huffed out frustrated as she knocked on Nikki's front door one more time, harder than before. Sammi looked at the tall brown gothic double doors, seeing a dark theme just from the front of the home. Nikki managing to find a house like this in Los Angeles will forever be a question on Sammi's mind. As she was about to turn on her heels, the door slowly creaked open to show a disheveled Nikki lean against the door. He blinked for a moment, adjusting to the bright sun, seeing an angry Sammi in front of him.
"Where the hell have you been?" ordered Sammi, crossing her arms against her chest.
Nikki rubbed his eyes, trying to stay standing still. "At home, like a good boy. What about you?" slurred Nikki.
"You're sure about that? Because you look disgusting and reek of booze at 2pm," said Sammi, pushing Nikki out of the way to enter his new home. She had never been inside the house, only hearing how Nikki described it. All at once, she could tell Nikki broke in the home quickly, seeing bottles and powder residue scattered around the place. Glancing up and down as the young girl walked further, Sammi came to a halt to find Tommy lying on his back on the cold wooden floor. She marched straight to him, kicking him lightly on ribs to wake him up. A grunt came out of Tommy's mouth, rolling onto his side and opened one eye.
"Oh, hey, Sam! How's my favorite sister?! Don't tell Athena…" slurred Tommy, sitting up with a drunk smile plastered on his face. Sammi rolled her eyes, wanting every bone in her body to hit Tommy's head with her purse's head. So she did just that.
"Ow! What was that for?!" yelled Tommy.
"Have you two just been on a bender this whole fucking week?!" yelled Sammi at the Terror Twins.
"No… it's almost been a few drugs in our system," said Nikki, smirking as he dropped himself on the leather sofa nearby.
"We got some time off, might as well relax," chuckled Tommy, looking around for a bottle of whiskey.
"You two only have time off because Vince is in fucking jail! Why haven't you fucking visited him, you assholes?!"
"What makes you think we haven't?! We could've gone two days ago!" shouted Nikki, stomping right up to Sammi.
"Because I just fucking left the jail! You two and Mick have been dead silent to Vince, and it's not fair! Instead of killing your brain cells, how about you be a fucking friend!" Sammi barked back at Nikki, seeing his nostrils flare up at her. "Because I know I deserve a fucking award compared to you three!"
"Yeah, well, you're his chick that he's fucking! Of course, you'd go visit him!"
"Girlfriend! I'm his GIRLFRIEND, Nikki!" shouted Sammi.
Tommy only groaned in the background, standing on his feet like a newborn doe. "We're friends by staying away, Sam, it's called tough love. Besides Doc's got it, so we're good," said Tommy, holding his sister's shoulder for support.
Hearing Tommy speak only made Sammi angrier, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Vince could've fucking died along with Razzle. Get that through both of your foggy brains. He is alone in a jail cell where he can't do anything, unlike you two. Such bullshit liars when you say he's your brother," said Sammi, pushing Tommy's arm off her. "He can be in jail for six years, and you two really don't give a shit?" asked Sammi lastly as she turned on her heels, heading straight to the door without wanting an answer from both of them.
Nikki only shook his head as he watched Sammi, headed straight to the master bedroom. There on the bed, waited for a box filled with a special kind of drug for Nikki. He didn't tell Tommy about it just yet but knew he wasn't going to anyway. He picked up a spoon and lighter, melting powder into a beautiful liquid. Once heated to his liking, he pulled out a clean needle to collect everything from the spoon. All he needed now was a piece of fabric around his bicep and a minute to fade away the memories. Nikki's eyes rolled to the back of his head, collapsing on the bed to feel like he was floating on a cloud. A cloud of heroin where he loved to float on.
December 22th, 1984
"MOTLEY CRUE SINGER, VINCE NEIL, RELEASED FROM PRISON ON BAIL. WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE SINGER AFTER THE DEATH OF BRITISH MUSICIAN RAZZLE?"
January 14th, 1985
  On the 4th floor of the corporate building, Sabrina sprinted down the halls in a hurry to her boss's office. "Sammi. Sammi, you have to see this," said Sabrina, halting right in front of the secretary's desk. Sammi looked up from the documents on her desk, raising an eyebrow to her friend.
"What? What's going on?" asked Sammi, talking over to Sabrina. Sabrina could only grab Sammi's hand, dragging her out of the office to the elevators.
"I just came from the studios to drop something off, and Tom was bugging in front of one. When was the last time you checked on Tommy and the guys" asked Sabrina, leaning against the elevator railing.
"Basically, since last month. I really didn't feel like talking to a bunch of brick walls about Vince," said Sammi, pushing up glasses from falling off her nose. "Tommy didn't care to make an appearance at Christmas. Again, why?"
"Let's wait 'til I explain," said Sabrina, walking out the elevator once they reach the first floor. As the two girls turned through the maze-like hallways to enter the recording studios, Sammi was able to see Tom pace back and forth until his attention was drawn back to his work. Sabrina could hear the shouting echoed in the speakers, slightly pushing the door ajar to find Doc and Tom looking at the show in front of them. They entered the control room, Sammi's eyes quickly drew to Tommy, almost sliding off the sofa right next to Mick. If Mick wasn't wearing his sunglasses, everyone would see his eyes match the same dark circles as Nikki. Only Vince was the only person who looked kept together, but only because he had to be until his day in court.
"What the fuck is this?" asked Sammi, almost in a whisper to Doc and Tom.
"Trying to record an album. Clearly, your boys aren't up for the job," said Tom, wanting to pull his hair out. None of the boys paid attention to the window to the control room right as Nikki raised a silver platter to Vince's face, offering a white powder like always. Sammi looked at Sabrina, wanting to turn on the mic and tell Vince to stop. But he was a grown man who had to deal with his own problems. In a matter of seconds from snorting, Vince stumbling right to the trash can, hurling everything out of his stomach. Sammi covered her mouth, jumping at the sound of Vince throwing up.
"What the fuck, man?! What was that?!" yelled Vince.
"Oh, that was smack," said Nikki, chuckling along with Tommy. Vince inhaled sharply, shaking his head at his bandmates, deteriorating in front of everyone.
"What the hell is smack?!" asked Sammi, looking at everyone for answers that were in front of the glass.
"Isn't that heroin?" asked Sabrina, scrunching her eyebrows at Doc. Doc only stayed silent, rubbing his chin to think of a temporary fix for these men. Sammi dropped her head into her hands, groaning in an almost whisper, trying her best to keep her composure.
"They were supposed to get this record out already, and now my ass is on the line!" shouted Tom, walking out the control room again to head to the offices. Sammi could see Vince stare through the glass, a mixture of anger and disappointment on his face through the space of her fingers.
"You know what? Fuck you guys! Call me when you three want to be a fucking band!" said Vince, bursting out of the recording booth to find the nearest exit door in the Elektra building. Sammi was about to be right on Vince's tail until Sabrina halted her by her shoulders. Sabrina shook her head with pressed lips, being the older wise friend for the moment. Sammi glared through the window, giving an icy stare to Tommy and Nikki. Mick just stayed there, utterly emotionless about everything. Tommy wanted to hide away from his sister but only stayed frozen. Nikki didn't care, he only cared about the drug in front of him.
"So what the fuck are they gonna do now? Just wait 'til Nikki's high is gone to make an album?" asked Sammi with irritation.
"Even then, I doubt the higher-ups would want to listen to that album," muttered, Sabrina crossing her arms. Sammi snapped her head to Sabrina, only getting a shrug from her friend.
"I'll try to fix this. You two should get back to work before you ladies get in trouble," said Doc, leaning back into the office chair. Sammi sighed dramatically, pushing the hair out of her face. Right as the girls began walking out, Sammi flipped them off with both fingers directly at Tommy but still for everyone. Tommy sank lower into the sofa, tapping his drumsticks against his lap.
"So this is why Tommy fucking avoided us as much as he could," said Sammi through her teeth, smiling politely past any co-workers as the girls headed back to the fourth floor. "And why the fuck is Nikki doing heroin?! He acts crazy on coke already!" shouted Sammi as the girls stood alone in the elevator.
"Maybe coke isn't doing it for him anymore?" suggested Sabrina. Sammi scrunched her eyebrows and nose together to Sabrina. "Sometimes, when someone gets on a drug habit, they don't feel high from that drug anymore. So they will look for something else, even if the drug doesn't have the same effect,"
"That fucking explains why he would lick a coke bag clean. Wait, can you inject heroin?" asked Sammi, walking first into the office floor.
"Yeah, I think that's the most common way to get high quickly. Pretty sure if you're used to it, you could snort it, but that's a guess. Have you noticed any marks on the guys' arms?" asked Sabrina in a whisper as they sat in her small workspace. What felt like the 100th time, Sammi dropped her head into the hands as she leaned on the metal desk.
"Nikki told me not to worry about it. I saw it one time on Vince a long time ago, but that was it," mumbled Sammi.
"You're going to have to talk to Nikki at some point about this. Do you know how bad this could affect everyone? Plus having to deal with Vince's mistake, our bosses are gonna be on their ass," whispered Sabrina, searching to see if anyone could be eavesdropping.
"I'm not their fucking babysitter, S! I shouldn't be worried about this crap! I should just be worried about where the fuck I'm gonna go to school in the fall," whispered Sammi with anger.
"Yeah but guess what, your brother and boyfriend are in a band where they could have people giving up on them. I'm pretty sure if they didn't have Doc, Elektra would've dropped them by now. Talk to Nikki, Sam," ordered Sabrina, in her firm voice that could make anyone listen to her fast. Sammi breathed in for a moment, knowing Sabrina had a point even if she didn't want to admit it.
"Okay, I'll talk to him and see what the fucks up," said Sammi, getting up from the seat beside Sabrina. "You know sometimes I hate it when you're right,"
Sabrina smirked up at Sammi, "Only because you know it benefits everyone around us,"
"Yeah yeah, Ms. Smarty Big Heart," muttered Sammi with sarcasm, finally heading back to her desk.
*
Even with Redondo Beach being so far away, Sammi felt the drive was always worth it. The ocean in plain view as Sammi cheerfully belt out what was playing on the radio. Her singing came to a stop once she noticed a familiar face right in front of Vince's driveway. Slowly parking into the white mansion, Sammi's eyes went wide to see the blonde girl from the party. She looked tired and worried, pacing back and forth from the front as if she didn't know what to do. It wasn't until she saw Sammi step out of the impala that made her frozen. Sammi stepped slowly with caution, crossing her arms in front of her.
"Hi… it was Sharise, wasn't it?" asked Sammi.
"Uh yeah, we met at the party.," said the woman with the accent and a smile. Sammi still couldn't figure out where the hell it was from. "Do you know if Vince is home?" asked Sharise with a tremble in her voice. Sammi scrunched her eyebrows together at the woman, scratching her head to think. She looked in the back of her to count how many cars were parked right by her.
"Um, I have no idea. Vince went to the studio then stormed off because of the guys. Can I ask why you're at my boyfriend's house?" asked Sammi in a stern voice. Sharise bit her lip, trying to look anywhere that wasn't Sammi's eyes. She tapped her foot with anxiety until let out a rough sigh, almost a groan.
"Look I'm really sorry I'm doing this, but I'm pregnant, and I need Vince for a paternity test,"

She’s My Collar pt. 3
Trigger warning: Mentions of domestic abuse
Tumblr media
“It’s been 3 days Riv. You’re gonna have to talk to me about what the fuck happened the other day.” Tommy says standing on my balcony smoking a cigarette.
How do I even begin to explain myself though? I swipe his pack of cigarettes off the railing and light one taking a drag. Tommy raises an eyebrow at my actions, but otherwise is non reactive to the nasty habit I’ve picked up and quit for what felt like a million times.
“I’ve known Kevin most of my life.” I start, my voice already beginning to shake. “He is a few years older than me and worked on my grandparent’s farm and I was head over heels for him. Like I used to follow him around as he cleaned the barns level in love because he was always so kind and sweet to me.”
Tommy just nods his head along and I continue.
“We got married right after I graduated high school and that was when he stopped being so sweet. He found he preferred cuddling a bottle of vodka at night a lot more than he liked cuddling up with me. Then, instead of hitting the bottles, he hit me.”
Tommy’s hand curls into a fist at his side and he blows hard out of his nose. “Go on” he says and I can tell he’s working on keeping his cool.
“When I found out I was pregnant the beatings stopped for a little bit. He, um, seemed really happy for a while and I really thought this was what we needed to be happy again. Boy was I wrong.” I hadn’t even realized tears were streaming down my face until I felt them hitting my trembling hands in my lap.
“He came home one night drunker than I had ever seen him and meaner than he had any right to be and just let loose on me. A neighbor heard me screaming thank god and called the cops or I might have died that night along with our baby. We come from a pretty small town so there wasn’t much help for me to leave him, most people thought it wasn’t their business. About a month later I took every last dime I had, all the clothes I could carry, and left my ring and the life I had under ‘Rebecca’ there and came to L.A.. That was about a year ago.”
I looked down to see Tommy had silently slipped his hands into mine as I was recounting the story that I had hoped to never have to explain to anybody. He rubbed his thumb against the back of my hand and took a deep breath.
“I promise you Riv, I will kill him if he so much as looks at you again.” I’m soon crushed against Tommy’s chest in a tight hug and I would be lying if I said it wasn’t the safest I had ever felt in the last year. Hell, the last few years.
“Thank you Tommy, but I don’t want you boys to get caught in the crossfire.”
“What else will you do then?” He asks quietly.
“Probably pack up and move elsewhere. Somewhere he can’t find me.”
“No.” Tommy says standing straight up. “No you can’t leave Riv we just started being friends.” He paces back and forth on the small balcony while lighting another cigarette.
“You guys are on your way to doing big shit T-Bone. I can’t get in the way of that.”
“That’s even more of a reason to let the guys and I protect you?” He says as if it’s obvious. “Besides, you’re our photographer. Who else is going to capture all the nudity on camera?”
“You know for a second there you weren’t a gross pig.” I try to not mirror Tommy’s face splitting grin, but I’m not that strong.
“Atta girl.” He bounces up and walks in my house as if he lives there and calls behind him “Come on let’s go to the diner for pancakes. My treat.” I didn’t question how he earned the money to pay this time. I knew it was rarely legal.
I double over laughing in the booth for nearly the tenth time at another story of the stupid shit Tommy has done. We’re the same age, but I can’t help but feel inferior in the life I’ve lived. Besides packing up and moving out of town to come to L.A. on a whim, I haven’t done anything exciting. Tommy has had enough experiences for two lives.
“So anyway Nikki comes up with the genius idea to stick our dicks in breakfast burritos to cover up any scent that we had just fucked these other chicks. Cause like our girlfriends couldn’t know right?” He pauses to sip his Coke and pours the rest of his Jack shooter into my coffee.
“Tommy Lee!” I scold in a hushed whisper.
“Let me finish my story. So anyway me, Sixx, and Vinnie are basically fucking these burritos in the back of my van at the ass crack of dawn to all go home to our girlfriends because Vince wanted to fuck a bride to be at her bachelorette party.” Tommy stuffs more pancakes into his shit eating grin.
“Tommy you guys are insane. How the hell am I friends with you lunatics? Mick is the least insane one and he’s hardly around.” I laugh sipping my spiked coffee wincing only a tiny bit at the burn of the whiskey.
“You just haven’t known Mick long enough. He gets crazy too.” He wags his eyebrows at me suggestively “And you get to capture those moments on film”
“Oh lucky me.” I feign excitement and he tosses a sugar packet hitting me in the face. The walk back to the apartment from the diner is filled with just as many laughs as our meal was and my cheeks are starting to hurt from smiling. Tommy has one arm slung around my shoulder while his other swings at his side besides when he takes a puff of his cigarette. Tommy is everything my parents would’ve hated to see me hanging around with, let alone being as close with him as we are now. He had long dark hair, wore make up, and the only real work ethic he had was put into his drumming (that’s not to say he didn’t have work ethic they just wouldn’t have seen it that way).
“Ya wanna know something Riv?” Tommy asks looking everywhere that isn’t at me.
“I wanna know everything at all times.” I joke and he hip checks me lightly. A grin spreads across his face and I wonder if his cheeks hurt like mine from smiling so much.
“You have huge eyes.” He says finally.
I stop in my tracks and stare at him mouth agape.
“Tommy Lee are you making fun of me?!” I shriek and he’s double over laughing at my expression.
“I’m kidding! Well kinda.” I shove at him lightly and begin to walk away, but his hand in mine stops me from leaving him to laugh on his own and we resume walking together to the apartment this time hand in hand.
“What I was actually gonna say was-” Tommy’s grip on my hand tightens and a scary look casts over his features.
I follow his line of sight to see Kevin speaking to the landlord that lived on the floor level. It looked like he hadn’t noticed us yet and I wanted to keep things that way. I tug Tommy’s hand trying to pull him up the stairs to our floor out of his line of sight.
“Oh am I interrupting date night?” I hear behind me. Busted.
“Kevin. Not now.” I hiss not wanting to draw any attention to us.
“I’m sorry did I your HUSBAND interrupt your date with your new fuck buddy?” Kevin raises his voice.
“I’m only going to tell you once dude, don’t fucking talk to her like that.” Tommy growls out between grit teeth.
“Hey nobody tells me how to talk to my fucking wife.” Kevin steps closer. Tommy doesn’t step back being that it’s hard to be intimidated by a man at least six inches shorter than you. “She left you bro. Get the fuck over it and move on.” Tommy had somehow maneuvered me behind him and positioned himself in front of me. Kevin clearly didn’t take kindly to that.
“Listen, dick head, I’m not leaving without my fucking wife. You can find someone new to fuck in a city like this. I guarantee she isn’t the only whore”
And that’s when I hear it, the sound of a fist connecting with a face and teeth clanking together. Tommy is on Kevin before I even have time to full process that a punch was thrown. Tommy had the element of surprise and uses that to his advantage to land a few good punches to Kevin’s face. Kevin’s foot connects with Tommy’s gut and gives him the opportunity to get up and land a few punches of his own.
“Guys please stop!” I’m shouting trying to get them off each other without getting hit. I know there’s nothing I can do physically so I do the only thing I can think of doing. And I scream for Nikki.
Nikki is pulling Tommy off of Kevin who looks worse for wear than I had ever seen him. Kevin’s lip is busted, he’s got a black eye forming, and there is blood coming from both a cut on the top of his nose and from his nose in general. Tommy has a small cut on his cheek, also what looks like a black eye coming, and is bleeding from somewhere inside his mouth because he spits blood on Kevin. Kevin charges at him again, but is knocked on his ass by Nikki kicking him square in the gut.
“Enough!” Nikki screams and a small part of me is scared by the sound.
I don’t bother to make sure Kevin is okay before I follow the boys up to our floor. I race into my own apartment to grab some painkillers, a washcloth,  and a bag of frozen peas for Tommy. When I get into their apartment I see Tommy downing some whiskey from the bottle and he tries to smile at me and winces. I gently pluck the bottle from his hand and set it on the counter next to him. I run the washcloth under water and begin to clean the blood off his face. He hisses as I dab at the cut on his cheek and lip trying to be gentle so I don’t make the bleeding start again.
“Hey River, could you maybe not try to get my drummer killed?” Nikki jokes knocking back some of the whiskey. Tears well up in my eyes despite me knowing there’s no malice behind his words.
“I’m so sorry Tommy.” I sob tears cascading down my face.
“Hey, hey shhh” Tommy tries to console me by hugging me to him. “These things, they happen. Hang out with Sixx and I long enough and you’ll be bailing us out of jail in no time.”
“Fuck I’m surprised you haven’t already.” Nikki pipes up.
“This is all my fault if you wouldn’t have tried to stick up for me you wouldn’t have gotten hit.”
“I swung first.” He chuckles rubbing my back.
“Atta boy!” Nikki bellows and we all have a good laugh at that. “I don’t know about you guys, but I could sure use a fucking shot.” Tommy tosses back two painkillers and washes them down with a swig of whiskey offering the bottle to me.
“Fuck it.” I shrug and down two big gulps and pass the bottle to Nikki. He’s clapping me on the back while I hold the frozen peas to Tommy’s eye and pretend I can’t feel Tommy’s thumb rub tiny circles on my thigh where I’m standing between his legs. And I pretend the warmth I feel is from the alcohol and not because of the way he looks at me.

Live Wire --The Dirt--(8)
Summary: Wren Ledden, Tommy’s best friend from high school, has had a rough life, and she intends to keep the nitty gritty details of her suffrage to herself until the day she dies. Only Tommy has gotten her to open up about a small portion of her troubles, and it’s only Tommy who she trusts with her life. That is until her life gets turned around sneaking into a concert one night...the same night Motley Crue is born.
AN: this chapter I think is shorter than the others by far, so don’t be mad, but another is coming this week!

One,    Two,    Three,    Four,    Five,    Six,    Seven
Tumblr media
For months, Wren was able to keep her job at the public library a secret from the band. They were loud and boisterous people—except Mick—and were sure to embarrass the living hell out of her, or even get her fired if they dared set foot into her work, so it remained a secret until her drunken ass spilled the beans.
“You’ll need a shit ton of fliers if you’re going to even try and draw a crowd,” Wren slurred after a long night of drinking with Tommy and Nikki. Nikki had managed to secure the band a spot performing three nights during next week at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go, and was currently panicked about not bringing in revenue. It took nearly a month of schmoozing his boss to even consider letting their band play, and even then it was allowed on the stipulation of bringing money into the night club.
“Maybe a radio ad!” Tommy gasped, his eyes wide with thrill until Nikki threw a half-eaten piece of bread at Tommy’s face.
“Do we look like we can afford a radio ad?” Nikki laughed.
“Do we look like we can afford fliers?” Tommy asked seriously in response.
“I can print them for free at work!” Wren had exclaimed in an excited tone as she jumped up at her own idea, subsequently tossing whiskey from her glass and onto her skin. And that was the end of her secret of employment. She was, however, able to print a few hundred fliers, and then she and the guys took to the strip at all hours of the day and night to post the news of Mötley Crüe’s debut.
The night before their first performance, the band met to solidify their set list and perfect the tiny details that irked either Nikki or Wren’s ears. Their practice ran short when Lovey sprang through the door and demanded to be included in the band’s “process.”
“What the fuck does that even mean?” Nikki asked as the blonde repositioned the frilly, light blue tank top that hardly covered her braless tits.
“Like her!” she then pointed to Wren. “Come on, which one of you is she fucking to be this close to the action?”
“Watch yourself, lady,” Mick gently warned as Tommy rose from his seat, Nikki tightened his fists, and Wren placed her hands on her hips in defiance.
“Babe,” Vince said in a soft, coaxing voice as he reached tentatively for his girlfriend’s arm.
“No, which one is it? Is she giving it to the old fuck?” Mick held his hands up above his heads, cleansing himself of any involvement in the altercation to come. “Who is it, Wren?” Lovey pressed the girl standing in stark contrast to her. Her done up make up and fanciful clothes looked like something out of a movie compared to the sweaty, tied up hair and bland, tattered, baggy t-shirt that swallowed Wren’s body. Why the hell is she threatened by me? Wren thought as the gap closed between she and Vince’s girlfriend. “Could it be the scrawny drummer? Or maybe it’s the bass playing motherfucker who doesn’t know shit about music.”
“Yeah, and some dumb bitch fawning over a cover band called ‘Rock Candy’ is so much more knowledgeable,” Wren retorted with venom on her tongue and a sting in her bite.
“Wren,” Tommy’s voice acted as a warning, not for her to back off, but for her to quickly make up her mind if Lovey was worth what was to come. When she turned to face the band in an attempt to gauge their opinions on the events unfolding before them, Wren’s eyes met Nikki’s cold stare. His lips were pressed thin and anger overwhelmed his face. Tommy was equally unenthused with the situation, and Mick bestowed a look of concern.
“Listen to them, Wren,” Lovey teased with her pouty lips poked out, “or they may not let you play with their dicks tonight.” The blonde’s big eyes were opened even wider as she anticipated Wren’s response; however, it was Nikki’s voice that cut through the tense silence.
“Vince, get a hold of your mutt,” Nikki shouted more at Lovey than to Vince. A defensive look flashed from his eyes as his gaze met Wren, only to see the frustration that coated her appearance.
“Stay out of it, Nikki! I don’t need your help!” Wren snapped with ice in her veins at the same moment Vince’s girlfriend retaliated.
“Fuck you, Sixx!” she yelled. “You can call me whatever the fuck you want; it doesn’t change the fact that you’re just too blind to see she’s just a stray you three let in for an easy fuck!” Her comment sat uneasily on all of the men’s shoulders, however they were hesitant to speak as they internalized the bitter, cold, and dissevered tone that had hissed at Nikki moments ago.
“The difference between you and I is that I don’t have to flash my money or my tits to get attention from a single one of these guys, and I still have more respect from all of them than you’ll see from any man in your pitiful, entitled fucking life.” Tommy couldn’t help the snorted chuckle that escaped his lungs as Wren finished her statement. Mick had a wide smile spread with his eyes narrowed and he nodded in agreement with Wren’s words. Vince, who had been hesitant to take sides in this argument faded to the background without a word in favor of either woman, and Nikki remained a statue by his bass amp as he continued to mull over the sting of Wren’s personal attack.
Lovey took a step forward and positioned herself so that she stood with less than an inch separating Wren’s chest from her own. Everyone in the room noticed Lovey ease up onto her toes so that her lips could be level with Wren’s ear due to their distinctive height difference. Lovey’s voice was a chilling breeze as she spoke so softly not a single person could make out a word that traveled from her lips except for Wren. As Wren stood flatfooted, back straight, posture erect, she stared forward and refused to bring a single bit of the emotions swirling within her to her face. “There’s nothing wrong with making up for lost time,” she began, “but will any of them really replace the taste of Clay?” Wren swallowed hard as she tried to suppress the lump that manifested so quickly in her throat. Her body became immobile as her veins turned into frozen rivers and her skin burned as hot as the surface of the sun. From across the room, Tommy immediately noticed all color wash from Wren’s face. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest so rapidly she thought her heartbeat alone could set the pace for the band’s next song. Wren could hear her name being called out, and she could see Tommy, Mick, and Nikki’s lips moving, but the voices were so distant, so severed from the bodies they came from, she ignored them altogether.
“How the fuck do you know about that?” she asked lowly only for the blonde to huff, flip her hair over her shoulder, and turn away. “How the fuck do you know that?!” Wren’s voice echoed even louder as she lunged after the much shorter woman and spun her around with a single, firm grip of her shoulder.
“It doesn’t matter how I know,” Lovey flippantly said with an aura of innocence surrounding her, “it just matters that I do.” In a blinding rage, Wren threw Lovey to the ground, only to be surprised that the other woman had grabbed a fistful of Wren’s hair and pulled her down as well. Lovey tried to pull Wren’s hair, but found herself curling up into a fetal position as Wren directed kick after kick and punch after punch to the girl’s ribs. Seeing this as an opportunity, Wren crawled on top of Lovey, used her knees to pin the girl’s limbs to her sides, and then landed two punches to the face before she felt Tommy’s arms slip around her.
“Get the fuck off me, Tommy!” Wren shouted before she slipped away from his grasp, shoved him away from her, and made another lunge at Lovey, who had taken her moment of freedom to stand and make a bolt for the door.
“Nik!” Tommy yelled out as Wren crossed his path. He and Mick had both set aside their instruments at the beginning of the girls’ argument, in case something like this were to happen. To Lovey’s fortune, Nikki was able to intercept Wren by snaking an arm around her hips, spinning her around, and flipping her over his shoulder.
“Put me down, Nikki!” she shouted. “Damn it, Sixx! Put me the fuck down!”
Ignoring Wren’s protests, Nikki called out first to Vince, then to the others, “Take her home, we’ll finish practicing tomorrow.” As he walked toward the back most room of the apartment—his room—he tried to ignore Wren’s angry fists pounding into his back, he tried to hold her still as best he could without getting himself kicked in the face, and he hoped she would calm down enough to talk to him instead of scream like she had done since the second Tommy tried to pull her away from Lovey.
Once inside his room, Nikki slammed the door shut and flipped Wren onto his bed so that her back landed against the mattress, forcing her body to bounce up like a ragdoll. He flicked the light on and stared at her with passionate anger manifesting in a steaming ball in his stomach. “What the fuck was that about?” he asked sharply as he stood over her. Wren still laid with her back against the mattress and her elbows propped up to support her, her eyes casting up in an angry scowl at Nikki.
“None of your business,” she retorted.
“Bullshit! I was just trying to help you out there!” Nikki stated as he took another step closer to where she lay.
“I don’t need anyone to fight my battles for me,” she hissed, “let alone you!”
“What the fuck does that mean?” Nikki’s eyes continued to peer down at Wren as she laid all too comfortably on his bed with a defensive arrogance that both pissed him off and intrigued him.
“You don’t fucking know me, Sixx,” she hissed. “You don’t get the right to try and defend me when you have no idea what the fuck is going on.”
“You don’t let anyone get to know you!” Nikki snapped. He’d been hanging around Wren for long enough to know that she knew more of anyone else’s secrets than anyone knew of hers, and tonight just proved it. “You’re best fucking friend is out there and he doesn’t even know what the fuck is going on!”
“It’s no one else’s damn business!” Wren’s voice was sharp as she pulled herself to her knees and stared at Nikki with her eyebrows narrowed and her jaw taught.
“It is when you make it our business,” he retorted with his eyes narrowed in on her. Wren stood from her position on the bed and placed herself directly in front of Nikki.
“I didn’t make it everyone’s business! That bitch started all of this shit—” Before Wren could reach the end of her defense, Nikki’s voice interrupted her and turned her own words into a noose around her throat.
“Who is Clay?” Silence followed his question as both of their chests heaved in anger and the two stared into each other’s eyes. Each set of orbs, either hazel or grey reflected the same angsty, impatient, and frustrated glare as if the two souls were connected in their own misery. Nikki quickly noticed the subtle changes in Wren’s posture. Her shoulders tightened, her jaw clenched, her entire body turned into a stiff, unflexing wax replica of Wren, and all sense of emotion—hope, anger, hatred, fear—abandoned her otherwise pleasant face. After an overly long moment of anxiously staring down at the woman, Nikki folded his arms over his chest and widened his stance. Wren tugged at her lower lip with her teeth and Nikki saw for the first time, a—100% without a shadow of a doubt—true sign of vulnerability in Wren Ledden. However, in that single action—her holding her lip between her teeth in anxious terror—she stepped forward, jammed her index finger into Nikki’s chest, and with a quivering voice that was caught in her throat spoke.
“Don’t you ever say that fucking name around me ever again.” Without needing to be prompted, Nikki nodded, gently pulled Wren’s arms past his sides until she wrapped them around his torso, and softly placed his hands against her. One rested in the middle of her back and the other lay gingerly against the back of her head. He tried his best to ignore the warm pools of tears that gathered against his shirt and soaked into his skin, and he tried not to imagine the infinite sadness that her face could impose—her lips pulled tight in strain with the indention of her teeth lining her lower lip, he cheeks beet red and streaked with agonizing tears, her eyes puffy and hopeless—but he failed in this endeavor.
Nikki noticed the door to his room creep open ever so slightly to reveal Tommy’s curious expression begging to know if his friend was okay. He didn’t expect to see Wren wrapped up in Nikki’s arms. He didn’t expect to hear her soft sobs—a sound not even his ears had experienced before—but more than anything else, he didn’t expect to see a lonely, solitaire tear slide down Nikki’s face.

**Let me know if you want to be tagged**
———————————————————————
June 30, 1983 approached with the speed of a Ferrari. Our wedding day held the same nerve racking energy as skydiving: we knew that jumping was going to be a thrill, but we didn't know whether we had a body of water or pavement waiting for us, or if our parachutes even worked.
"Vivian, are you nervous?" Tansy's mother, Diane asks me as I sit with curlers in my hair, Tansy putting foundation on me and I look at her.
Diane was a Barbie. I'm almost certain that she and Vince actually slept together at some point. She was a former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader from '62-'63 before she got pregnant with Tansy and moved back to Mississippi. There wasn't a time I ever saw Diane with a platinum blonde hair out of place. Public imperfection equaled social suicide in her eyes and she made sure Tansy understood it down to the science of it. But Diane never tried to stop Tansy's partying because no one else who actually mattered knew about it. Everybody in the public thought she was innocent aside from showing her body in a magazine...until Tansy "accidentally" forgot to cover the tracks on her arms with makeup at one of her photo shoots in 1987. Diane nearly had a stroke —not because her daughter was so deep in a hole she couldn't get out of by herself—but because the world had found out her kid was on heroin and she was embarrassed.
"Depends on what Nikki's response to that question was." I tell her and she laughs.
"I haven't seen him yet." She tells me and I nod, licking my lips.
"I had to get him a couple shots of Jack earlier." Tansy comments, and I look up as she dots concealer under my eyes and pats it in.
"I'd be concerned if he weren't drinking." I reply.
"As long as he's drinking, we're good?" Diane states and I nod, looking at her with a little smile.
"As long as he's drinking, we're good." I repeat. "...unless he gets sober." I add.
"If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise." Tansy pipes and I look at her.
"That is the most backwoods thing I have ever heard you say." I mumble to her with a little chuckle.
"Mississippi." She reminds me of where she's from.
"Oh, I forget you're from Mississippi." I reply.
"Because she's got a attitude from L.A." Her mother states matter-of-fact, a sour tone to her voice.
"I'm a nice person, Mama." She argues just as Vince and Tommy are opening the door of the bridal sweet. "Guys, tell my mom I'm sweet."
"As taffy." Vince states sarcastically, and Tansy cuts her eyes at him.
"How's Nikki?" I ask Vince and he chuckles.
"He's fine." He replies to me. "We left him with Mick for a second. I was hoping I'd come in here and see some skin." He plops in a chair.
"Vince, do you not think it's inappropriate to want to see your best friend's wife naked?" I ask him, glancing at him as Tansy powders my face before applying mascara.
"You're not married yet, Saint Viv." He retorts, raising his brows.
"No, but you are." Tansy tells him smartly. "Should I go get Beth to come tighten your leash?"
"I'll tighten your leash." His voice is overly sexualized, looking her up and down and she pretends to gag in disgust but he turns it on her. "You've always had the prettiest little gag."
"Dude, I know." Tommy adds, sharing a mutual grin with Vince.
"You morons are disgusting and, Vince, you're drunk." I shoot at them. "Go sober up. I don't need you being messy." I speak sternly, and Vince exhales and stands, stumbling a little before heading back to the door with Tommy to make sure he won't face plant.
The tiny church is hot and stuffy due to lack of air conditioning and while we wait to start, the only thing keeping me from passing out is Tommy fanning me with a paper back bible he snagged from the back of a pew in the sanctuary as Tansy puts my veil in my waved hair.
"You're so pretty." She coos, admiring her hard work on my hair and makeup.
"You are, too." I reply in the same tone, looking at her perfect blonde hair that's curled flawlessly, the very top of it pinned back out of her delicate face. Big blue eyes are a contrast against her flowing emerald green dress that reaches just above her knees.
I finally found my dress just in time for it to be altered and ready for pick up a couple of days ago.
It's slightly itchy, the off the shoulder fitted lace sleeves reaching down to my wrists are slightly uncomfortable, but other than that it's perfect. The skirt of it is a little poofy, but nothing compared to the mountain of tool the first dress I tried on, was.
"Alright, I'm gonna go out there." She tells me hesitantly once the piano starts up, grasping my hand in hers.
I told you she just knew things the way Mick just knew things, and she knew Nikki and I had no idea what we were getting ourselves in to, she just didn't have the heart to tell us.
"I'm fine, Tansy." I assure her when she silently refuses to let go of my hand incase I need her to hold it due to fear. She just gives me a little smile and lets go, patting Tommy on the cheek before stepping out in the sanctuary.
Tommy's grinning ear to ear, seemingly about to burst.
"I can't believe two of my best friends are really doing this." He exhales through his large smile, looking at down at me. His smile falters a smidge, and he licks his lips, clearing his throat. "You sure you're alright, Viv? No cold feet or anything? Because there's a window up by the ceiling in the bathroom and I'll give you a boost out if you don't wanna do this."
"I'm okay, Tommy." I chuckle and he lets out a breath of relief. "Has Vince gotten sobered up a little?"
"Yeah, I made him chug some water."
It's our turn to walk out now and I hook my arm through his, my right hand gripping at my bouquet of Purple lilies, and I'm practically panting to calm my nerves.
"If you trip and fall, I will, too, so you're not alone or anything." He assures me and I have to keep from laughing loudly.
The church ushers open the door for us, and we slowly make our way down the aisle.
There's people Nikki invited that I've either never met or have seen them hanging out with the guys from time to time.
Diane, Sparkie, and Tommy's girlfriend are seated together beside Beth, Vince and Mick, and even as I'm walking down the aisle, Beth and Roxie are solely focused on shooting Tansy death glares as if they have rabies and want to tear in to her. Tommy’s parents and Doc weren’t able to come, but I highly doubt Nikki’s holding it against them, so I’m not worried with it either.
I don't look at Nikki until we're merely feet away from the alter, then my grip on Tommy's arm tightens to steel and I'm scared to let go because I might just trip and fall.
We get to the alter and stop, the minister asking who's giving me to Nikki. My best friend tells him he is, before lifting my veil and kissing my cheek. I hand my flowers to Tansy and Tommy takes my hand that he's holding, about to pass me to Nikki.
He stops midway, though, to hug me tightly, and I swear his eyes are watering but I don't give it a second thought.
The hug only lasts a few seconds and he's giving Nikki my hand before stepping to his side as his best man.
I'm hit with the weight of all of this the second Nikki's skin touches mine, our grips on each other's hands tightening as we both give out nervous smiles, waiting for the minister to start.
"We have gathered here today to celebrate the joining of Nikki and Vivian in holy matrimony. I didn't have much time to prepare a message being that Miss Kinston contacted me only two weeks ago and asked if she could have her wedding here."A few people, including myself, chuckle as he continues. "But we'll make it work the best that we can." He smiles at me and Nikki, opening his bible. "Before I begin, is there anyone who finds any reason as to why these two should not be joined together as husband and wife? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace." No one says a thing, and he nods at the two of us slightly before starting.
"A marriage between any two people is a direct representation of Jesus' commitment to his church. You will make sacrifices for your wife the way Christ sacrificed himself for his church, while you will love your husband the way the church is suppose to love Christ."
Nikki rolls his eyes and I squeeze his hand, causing him to cut his eyes a little at me while I silently scold him.
"To know love is to know God because God is love. 1 Corinthians states that, 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.'" He tells us. "A marriage is not meant to be two halves coming together to form a whole, but two complete people coming together to form a team and a partnership. Your triumphs will be your partner's triumphs to celebrate with you. Your struggles will be your partner's struggles to mourn with you. You two will go through the greatest highs together but also the most heartbreaking lows. You must never lose yourselves or each other in turmoil, however. Support each other, encourage each other, comfort each other, fight for each other. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sin.” He explains and I let out a soft breath, feeling my nervousness start to fade. "Before we start the reciting of vows, I would like to precede with a passage from Ruth. ‘And Ruth said, Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall by my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you." By the time he’s finished reading, I’m nearly tearing up. “The rings, please," The minister motions to Tommy and Tansy. Tommy hands Nikki the small diamond ring for me and Tansy hands me the simple gold wedding band for Nikki. "Nikki, repeat after me, 'I, Nikki, take thee, Vivian, to be my lawfully wedded wife.'"
Nikki takes a deep breath and licks his lips before saying:
"I, Nikki, take thee, Vivian, to be my lawfully wedded wife."
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, or for worse."
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, or for worse."
"For rich, or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,"
"For rich, or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,"
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
"Vivian, do you accept these vows promised to you by Nikki?"
"I do." I nod, sniffling.
"Nikki, take Vivian's ring and place it on her finger."
He obeys, his hand shaking slightly as he slides the ring to rest beside the plain silver band he proposed to me with. "With this ring, I thee wed. With all I am, and all I have, I honor you."
"With this ring, I thee wed. With all I am, and all I have, I honor you." He repeats after him.
"Vivian, repeat after me. 'I, Vivian, take thee, Nikki, to be my lawfully wedded husband.'"
"I, Vivian, take thee, Nikki, to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, or for worse."
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, or for worse."
"For rich, or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,"
"For rich, or for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish,"
"Till death do us part."
"Till death do us part."
"Nikki, do you accept these vows promised to you by Vivian?" He asks after I am done with my vows.
"I sure as hell do." Nikki assures us and I squeeze my eyes closed and laugh with everyone else at his blatancy.
"Vivian, take Nikki's ring and place it on his finger."
I do so, my eyes meeting Nikki's and refusing to look away.
"With this ring, I thee wed. With all I am, and all I have, I honor you." The minister states for me to speak to Nikki.
"With this ring, I thee wed. With all I am, and all I have, I honor you." I restate.
"So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate."
I barely hear the cheers and hollering of our guests due to the unexpected urgency Nikki pulls me to him with, wrapping me tightly in his arms as his lips press to mine.
I'm a sobbing mess and I'm not exactly sure why, but I tell myself it's because I'm overwhelmed with happiness.
When he pulls away, he's wiping my tears with his thumbs.
"You taste like booze." I tell him, and he smiles and kisses me again chastely.
Our reception was at Tansy's mother's beach house in Malibu and I apologized to her in advance for the shenanigans that would inevitably take place under her roof.
"Alright, one, two, three." Diane counts off and the "click" of the camera softly sounds off.
"Next!" I motion for Mick and Vince to join Me, Nikki, Tansy and Tommy as we take our wedding party pictures in the formal living room.
"Sooner we get done with this the sooner we can get wasted." Nikki reminds everyone as Mick and Vince step to us.
Mick stands on the other side of Tommy and Tansy as Vince stands beside me and Nikki.
Another "click" initiates Nikki shooing everyone away so me and him can have our own picture.
Just as the camera captures the picture, Nikki's hands curve under my arms and grasp at my breasts, causing my eyes to widen as the flash hits us.
"Nikki!" I scold him, nearly hitting him with my bouquet.
He and the guys think it's hilarious while I'm swatting at him, trying to hold back my laughter.
We calm down so she can take another photo, and like the last time, he's got something slick up his sleeve.
Before I know it, he's lifting the back of my skirt and grabbing between my legs, opting me to squeal and laugh so hard my eyes are squeezing closed once the picture is taken.
He's kissing my cheek when he stands back up, fixing my dress to take an actual serious picture.
It's taken with ease, the last picture left to take is of me and Tansy and once we're done with that, every one of us are ready to go eat food and the guys are ready to get wrecked.
People are soon scattered throughout the house with plates of food, sitting and standing wherever they can get.
"Guys," Tansy mother's says to us, holding her video camera. "Say 'hi'."
Me, Nikki, Vince, Beth, Tommy, Roxie, Mick, Tansy, and Sparkie are all gathered around the coffee table, seated on the carpet.
We look in her direction, Tansy and I give actual smiles to the camera while the boys shout profanities and shoot birds.
"Nikki, are you excited to be a husband?" Diane asks him in a teasing tone and he looks at me and smirks.
"So excited that I just might conveniently accidentally croak of alcohol poisoning tonight." He states, taking a swig of his wine and I give an unamused look at the camera, feeling Nikki take my left hand in his right before I say:
"That's why he's not getting laid tonight." Just after I say it, Nikki's digging his teeth in to my wrist, causing me to snatch away from him as he chuckles.
Everyone's pretty tipsy, and I'm 99.9% sure Tansy, Tommy and Vince are a little coked out while Sparkie tries to sneakily down a couple Quaaludes with his whiskey.
When it's time to the cut the cake, Diane wants a million pictures and to capture it on tape like she did the rest of the wedding and majority of the reception.
"You do not know how to cut a cake." I tell Nikki as we both hold the large knife, trying to find a starting place.
"Hush or I'll cut you." He threatens me in a almost serious tone but I know he means it playfully.
"Shh, people can't know I'm in to kinky shit like that." I mumble.
"I'm gonna start putting a tally mark on my arm every time you cuss just to see if you ever do it more than five times a year." He pokes at me.
"I cuss all the time." I argue as he settles on a place to cut the cake.
"The only time you really do is when we're fucking and I won't count those times or I'll run out of room on my arm in a couple minutes." He replies with a smirk.
"I don't do it that much when we're fooling around."
"Viv, I forget whether my name's 'Nikki' or 'Oh, fuck' anytime we do anything." He states, the two of us cutting in to the thick icing.
Oblivious to our quiet conversation, everybody claps once we get the piece of cake on to the plate I'm holding in my other hand and Diana hands us both forks.
Just as we get the cake on our forks, the both of us are taking our fingers and are trying to swipe cake down each other's faces, laughing like idiots.
It's smeared around his mouth and on his cheek but he's painted the white icing and sponge from my forehead, down my nose and to my chin.
Before I can wipe it off of me, he's licking it off of me.
People whistle suggestively, while others laugh, and I look at Tommy just in time for him to get a Polaroid picture of me wearing my cake and my husband licking it off of me.
Nikki licks off what he can, before kissing me with a wide smile, then grabbing a napkin and wiping the rest off before he wipes it off of his face, too.
I reach up and kiss him again once we're finished actually eating our cake as people each get their own slice, and Tommy finishes his and clears his throat, standing up and clinking his fork against a bottle of Jack.
He's standing on the coffee table in the living room, in our view from where we are in the kitchen, and everyone goes quiet as he says, "Hey, I'd like to say a little something."
I brace myself for his words, no telling what is going to come out of him as he stares at me and Nikki.
"I have known Vivian for a majority of my life. She's super nice, most of the time, and really smart and talented," He says, smiling at me. "I don't know how many of you guys know her all that well but she's not exactly like any of my other friends. She'll go party with us but be the only one drinking water, stay out with us Saturday nights until five in the morning and then get up and go to church every Sunday. Her ideal guy was a preacher's son or some shit and Nikki humped anything. So I didn't expect it to get this far. I thought she would get tired of all our bullshit and leave all of us, or Nikki would get tired of her not being wild enough or something. But she loves Nikki and all of us exactly how we are and Nikki loves her enough to not care whether she's crazy like us or not because she's wild where it counts and doesn’t get on her knees to just pray." People "ooh" at his claim and I feel my face heat up a little bit as Nikki pats me on the head. "Sorry," Tommy reads my expression and gives me a nervous smile before continuing. "Seriously, though, she chose Nikki over her own parents." He adds, looking directly at me. "Which was something I wouldn't be able to do if I were her. Just like I wouldn't be able to do any of this music stuff by myself the way Nikki was doing when I first met him." He switches his attention to Nikki. "They're two of the coolest and strongest people I know and it's pretty awesome that they're married now. So," He holds his bottle up. "cheers to the motherfucking Sixx's."
Everyone says "cheers" and takes a sip of their drinks, including me and Nikki.
Within a few minutes, Nikki’s convincing me to let him try to take my garter off with his teeth so he can throw it to the men at the party to fight over it like animals.
I eventually agree, sitting down, my hands digging in to the fabric of my dress as I hold back nervous laughter because I'm ticklish and I know he'll milking the hell out of it. He's crouched in front of me, picking my right ankle up, looking at me deviously as he presses a kiss to the inside of my ankle.
I already know where's he's going with this and so does everyone else, his buddies egging him on as he continues pressing little kisses up the inside of my calf muscle, heading up the inside of thigh.
I don't know why I expect him to actually stop at the garter but he doesn't.
I bite my tongue to keep from squealing when he gets to the hem of my panties, squeezing my eyes closed and covering my face with my hands as he gives one little bite to my lace covered core before tugging my panties off with his teeth, taking the garter with him as he heads back down my thigh and gets them passed my heeled feet. All the guys are like piranhas as he ties the panties and garter together before throwing them in to the small crowd of men that's gathered.
They fly over the crowd, though, and land on the back couch cushion right by Mick, who's got his sunglasses on and nursing a bottle of Vodka.
There's no one else I'd rather give my panties to. Mick's a God.
When it's my turn to toss my bouquet, some girl and Roxie are nearly fist fighting over it, completely disregarding the flowers themselves as they bicker over who caught them.
Tommy takes advantage of the bouquet that's now on the floor and sneakily grabs it and hands it off to Tansy who runs up to her room in the house to hide them.
We never planned to have a first dance together, however, about another hour in to the reception, Tansy randomly shuts off the record player and puts in to sing a cover of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me", and begs a drunk Vince to accompany her a cappella. Nikki's nudging me out of his lap, from where we're seated on the couch, and sets his drink down.
Before I can ask, "what's wrong?", he's grasping at my hand and pulling me to him with a slight sway, smirking at me when I raise a brow, a little shocked that he's actually dancing with me without me having to beg him.
His right hand rests at my waist as his left holds at my right hand, my left hand resting on his arm.
Tans and Vince are easy to catch a rhythm to, despite the blonde singer's intoxication. Beth's livid at the fact he's interacting with Tansy, though, and Nikki's silently laughing at her pissed off expression.
We're surrounded by people but he's the only person I see right now.
He looks down at me and I feel immense déjà vu. I'm suddenly back at the Starwood, seeing him up close for the first time. We hated each other back then, and now we can't get enough of each other.
My lips and tongue meet his, my arm reaching to his back to pull him as close as possible to me and he does the same, pulling me to him by my waist.
Once we pull away, he's smiling at me, his eyes locking with mine.
I could stare in to his eyes for an eternity. His eyes were so beautiful. They always had this lively sparkle to them. I always thought he had poetic eyes that told a million stories to whoever paid attention. I would've stared in to those eyes longer, had I known that would've been one of the last times I saw that sparkle bursting with enthusiasm and life before they just turned cold, dead and void.
Later on, I'm with Tansy when Nikki comes up to me holding his keys, Tommy and Roxie trailing behind him.
"Are we leaving?" I ask him, about to stand up from where I'm sitting but he stops me.
"Um, me and Tommy were gonna head back and stop by a friends house for a couple hours." He tells me hesitantly as if he's a little and he's nervous of being told "no."
I know a "friends house" means a party and a "couple hours" means all night.
"Nikki, it's our wedding night." I state as if he forgot and he gives me a grin.
"I know, I won't be gone all night." It's a blatant lie and I know it, but he's convincing like he always is.
"Okay, just be careful, please. I'm serious." I say without a trace of leisure and he nods, his smile growing from ear to ear as he and Tommy glance at each other.
He kisses me one last time before turning to go, announcing to everyone he's "fuckin' outta here" and thanks them for coming.
Before Tommy can get out the door I'm snatching him by his sleeve and stopping him.
He snaps around in my direction with wide eyes and I don't give him time to speak.
"Don't be overzealously stupid. Don't let him be overzealously stupid." I threaten him.
"Yes ma'am." He assures me, giving me a shit eating grin.
"I'm serious, Tommy." I snap.
"Chill out, Viv. We'll be fine." He is waves me off before leaving and that nagging feeling I felt when Nikki told me where they were going isn't eased in the slightest.
By the time everyone leaves, including Mick, Vince and Beth—me, Diane, and Tansy are starting to finish cleaning up while Sparkie’s passed out.
“You can head home, Vivian. I don’t want Nikki to get there and you still be a couple hours away.” Tansy tells me and I shake my head.
“He’s at a party. He probably won’t be coming home until morning.” I tell her and she nods.
“Well, me and Sparkie are gonna crash here. You can, too, if you want to.” She offers.
“I probably will. I’m just ready to get out of this dress.” I mumble, glancing at the clock on the wall to see it’s already two o’clock in the morning.
Tansy lends me a T-shirt that practically swallows her whole, and a pair of pajama shorts.
By the time I’ve gotten my makeup off, taken a shower and crawled in to the bed of one of the spare bedrooms, I’m nearly half asleep.
Until the phone starts ringing.
I hear Diane answer it downstairs, her voice just as tired sounding as I feel, but she suddenly snaps out of her sleepy daze.
“She’s upstairs asleep.” I hear her say, and I furrow my brows and sit up. “I’ll go get her.”
Within a moment, she’s opening the door and looking at me with wide eyes and a pale face.
“Doc McGhee is on the line—”
I don’t let her finish before I’m darting past her and almost tripping over myself to get down the stairs to the phone.
“Hello?” I ask, a panic to my voice. I hear him take a deep breath before calmly stating:
“Vivian, you need to get back to town. Nikki’s wrapped his Porsche around a pole.”

Royal Pains
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS this is one of @ashestoashesvvi ‘s crowning achievements!! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Steel Panther invaded the KISSteriaverse? No? WELL TOO BAD HERE IT IS ANYWAY!! So in this Michael Starr is Vince’s cousin and a constant thorn in his side. This time the Panther boiz assume to role of party crashers! Placed under a cut for length and dirtiness~
“W- We’re gonna what now?”
“We’re gonna bring some heavy ass metal to my favorite blond richy bitchy cuz! It’s gonna so fuckin’ rock, man!” Michael declared, jumping on top of their pool table in the middle of the room. He downed his open beer in one go and tossed it down on the floor when he was done with a pumped grin. “Woo!! Alright, bitches, c'mon, who’s game to party hard tonight?”
Lexxi blinked, and blinked. Then blinked again. Then he looked back at his mirror, shaking his head and fluffing up his hair. “Ahh, ahhhhh, you can go, but… but…” he paused, rolling the words around in his head. Beside him, Satchel just rolled his eyes as his bandmate’s mind was as lost as ever. “But I- I don’t think I’m for it after we jus- just snorted aaaaall, and I- I mean aaaall, the fuckin’ coke we had, dude. Kinda just wanna stay here and pet my turtle– you guys kno- know my turtle, yeah?”
“Lex, no damn turtle talk.”
“No one wants to hear where you shoved him up.”
“Guys!!” Michael groaned, “Duuuuudes, focus! Party time! Yeah or fuck yeah?”
Stix sighed, flopping down next to Satchel and Lexxi on their demolished, once lavish, black leather couch. “Eh, why the fuck not? It’s been a while since we had some fun, man.”
“Yeah, a whole fuckin’ six hours.” Michael nodded, grinning ear to ear. “C'mon, Lex, don’t you want to have some fun this weekend?”
“I- If by fun, you mean work on my highlights and fu- fuckin’ update our fashion style, then yeah. Ahhh….. What was I– Oh, yeah, just fuckin’, other than that, I- I don’t feel like going to some big party.” he said. He winced when Michael pouted then came running up to him, putting his head on his shoulder, whining and hugging onto his arm.
“Come on, please?”
“Bitch, you’re getting between m- me and the mirror- the mirror, man!” Lexxi pouted, pursing his lips out even more. He swung his mirror around in his hand to keep it out of Michael’s way and more focused on his own beautiful face.
Satchel laughed, “You’re gonna drop that, and that’s gonna break, and you’re gonna cry like a little girl in front of all of us, dude.”
“Then I’ll be careful- duh!” Lexxi sighed, wriggling out of Michael’s strong hold.
“Lexxi, you’re coming with us. It’s not a bitchin’ party until the whole band shows up!” Michael laughed.
“Mmmh…..”
“Lex, c'mon, c'here.” Stix sighed, shifting and standing to grab his taller bandmate. He forced him to lean down so that he could put his head on top of his, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. “Come and have fun, okay?”
“Wh- Wha- What’d you say?” Lexxi blinked. He tried to consecrate and think about what he was just asked, but all he could manage was a confused, cute squint.
“Come and have fun, okay?”
“Ca- Can you say the last work- word different?”
“…okie?”
“Ooh, see that’s what I th- thought you said.”
“Lexxi, stop being a dumb fuckin’ blonde– no offence Michael– for like two seconds and focus, man. Think of it, think of the tiddies! The booze! The drugs! I heard they’re importing these new blue lines straight outta Jendell! Jendell, man! I heard that shit makes electricity shoot right up your spine!” Satchel smirked, rubbing his hands together.
“Better yet,” Stix laughed, catching Lexxi’s short focus again. “Think about it, man… Prince Vince has an entire hall of mirrors in his crib~”
Lexxi’s eyes widened. He’d forgotten about that. He hummed, thinking about it now, debating on the pros and cons before giving in. “Alright, okay. I- I’ll go.”
Michael squealed and hugged him. “Fuck yes! For a second, I thought we had to bring your mother in this.”
“Y- You fuckers leav- leave my mom outta this shit–”
“Heh, she wasn’t out of this,” Satchel motioned to his crotch. “last night, dude.”
“Shuddap!!”
“Oh fuckin’ grow a pair and get over it, Lex. Can’t give her AIDS twice.”
“Or thrice.” Satchel added with a nod of his head.
“Or frice?” Stix said, smiling. “Or whatever the fuck it is.”
“Can y- you guys not gangbang my m- mom?”
“Too late!” Michael said, reaching for his microphone. “I gotta summon us a bitchin’ ride…. Hmmm… what’ll it be tonight, boys? One big limo or…?”
“Flaming limo with flames painted on the sides, and nachos when we get in. I want some fuckin’ nachos right about now, dude.”
“Annnnnnd hookers.” Stix said, letting Lexxi go finally.
Michael nodded, “Oh man, this is so tits. Vince is gonna be soooo fuckin’ happy to see us.”
“Or he’ll banish us from the kingdom again.” Stix shrugged, cracking open a beer.
“Eh, fuck that. We always come back, just like a bad STD.”
“Lexxi would know all about that, wouldn’t you, Lex?” Satchel laughed, poking him in the side.
“Stooooooop, I- I was cleared ages a- ago, man!” he pouted, sitting back on the destroyed couch as they chuckled and relaxed against each other.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Prince Vince watched his party’s performance in the palace’s throne room. Mick and Tommy sat to his left and Nikki sat to his right. Their eyes all watched as the ceremonial warriors and dancers of the Order of the Golden Pyramid from the realm of Sphynxia performed for them. They watched the sharp blades twirl in their hands and the air with ease in their finest silks and robes.
The normally rowdy court was calmed and entertained by them, and they even cleared the way for the belly dancers to take the main floor of the throne room. All the dancers in the troupe were women, and each one was catching the Prince’s and his friends eyes. Except for Mick, but he had been around enough to not fall so easily and forget that they were still warriors under those black halter tops adorned with gold jewels and beads, long black skirts with high cut slits, gold anklets and gold bangles.
As a final motion, the dancing warriors twirled and all did a ‘death drop’, leaping up into the air, doing a full turn which almost fully exposed their lower bodies, falling to land on one of their bent legs, and spinning around a few times before slowly rising and posing. The kingdom and all the entire court attending burst into applause for their performance. The members of the Order of the Golden Pyramid all gave a short bow of appreciation at the applause.
The leader of the group, Asim, stepped forward to Vince and knelt down in front of him, offering up a sword. “Prince Vince, this is a gift from the Order in honor of our alliance with Anarkia. May it be fruitful and prosperous for both of us.”
“Holy fuck, that’s a big ass sword!”
“Duuude, look how Vince is holding it like it’s his penis.”
“Nah, that blade is waaaay bigger than his tiny dick, man.”
“I- I’m confused… aaaahh, which way was the bathroom? Oh fuck it. Forget it, Imma just go over here.”
“Oh no,” Mick groaned, making a face. “They’re back.”
“Hell yeah! Can’t fuckin’ go and invite the whole kingdom to a huge ass mother fuckin’ party and not invite us! Just cause we’re on the Steel Pantherian moon doesn’t mean you get to skip out on our invite, cuz!” Michael shouted, bounding straight up to the throne. He seemed unaware of Vince’s reddening face of anger and embarrassment. Or he just didn’t care. “Oooh! Sweet! We’re cool with the Sphynx people? Awesome! Cause I need to go there to tan. See, I’m getting a bit pale and–”
“What are you doin’ here, you fucker!?” Vince growled, trying to keep his cool during his important alliance set up. “I banished you fifteen times!”
“….And?” Michael giggled, then caught sight of the lovely warrior beside them. “Oooooh~ Hello, baby~ Hey, hey, don’t get with this bratty prince, c'mon and hang out with a duke and his boys, honey. I got a real swollen member, and I really need to cum in an ass tonight~”
The olive skinned warrior scoffed, then snatched the sword straight from the prince’s hands. “Master Radames will hear of this behavior and this- this vulgar offering. He had thought you Anarkians had matured after assisting the KISSterians in battle so many times.”
“N- No! Th- This fool is not affiliated with us!”
Nikki growled, nodding in agreement with Vince. “These bastards are just a buncha crossbred, inbred fucks! C'mon! You can’t just–”
“There is a certain level of respect that we expect during such ceremonial events, and this,” Asim motioned to the long hair blonde taking a piss behind a potted plant. “This is not something I can allow to happen on my first mission of alliance.” She shook her head, signaling to the rest of her troupe to pack up and head out.
“Hey, hey,” Michael said, grabbed the warrior’s wrist. “Listen, please. I’m sorry… I guess I messed up… Lemme restart, c'mon, how about I make it up to you and my cousin by offering to let you both blow me. You don’t even gotta worry about the rest of the band. Trust me, compared to the rest of the guys, I’m less likely to cheat, too, if you wanna meet up a second time and make it a thing.”
Rolling her eyes, she pushed him away harshly. “My master will certainly hear about all of this.”
“Michael, I’m gonna fuckin’ strangle you and banish you to a damn realm without pussy!!” Vince screeched, putting a hand on his cousin’s shoulder.
“Hey, dude, fuck off!” he snapped, “I’m trying to help things!”
“You’re making it worse!” Vince growled, his grip on Michael’s shoulder growing tight.
“Hey, let go of our Michael, you royal fuckwad!” Satchel shouted, darting in from the side, swinging a fist back and punching Vince square in the nose.
The crowd gasped, and the members of the Order of the Golden Pyramid quickly fled before an infamous Anarkian battle broke out right in their palace.
Vince growled at the punch, coming at Satchel angrily. With one quick motion, he slammed the guitarist’s head toward the floor, then felt the hardest hit he’d ever had in the ribs. Stix smirked at him as he gasped, standing there frozen and a little shaken from what had just happened.
Tommy came up from behind and kicked the bulkier drummer to the wall across the throne room. “You fuckin’ assholes!! You ruined everything– again!!”
“Ugh… Fuck you! We just came for fun and a good time!”
“BAD FUCKING TIMING, FUCKERS!” Vince shrieked, recovering, then leaping to try and claw his cousin’s eyes out. Michael laughed, holding his wrists an inch from his pretty face.
“Awww, hey, I missed this!!” he giggled, staring into the blazing pits of hatred of the prince’s gaze. “Jeez, I’m just sorry we didn’t show up sooner!”
“IMMA KILL YOU ASSHOLES!!!”
“Nah! You’re just gonna banish us again!” Michael smiled at him, “Make it a tiddie beach this time, though, would ya? I get bored just jerking it off to Lexxi’s girly face.”
“D- DID YOU JUST NOT HEAR ME—!?!” Vince shouted, then cut himself off in an angry roar. “AAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!!”
“I’m too old for this shit…” Mick growled, sinking down in his chair, glaring at Lexxi off to his side. Blue electricity protectively crackled around him as the tall blonde just stared at him like he let a hamster borrow his last brain-cell. “I’m not gonna do a fist fight, you lil’ shit.”
“Nah, I- I’m just… ahh, well… fuck, someone said something about a mirror hall…. yeah, mirrors.”
Mick squinted at him, then jerked his thumb back behind the throne. “Down the hall.”
“Thanks, old dude.”
“Ugh…” Mick rolled his eyes, watching the court explode, then actually explode into fire and flames. “There goes another perfectly good alliance.”

Smoke and Roses - A Douglas Booth!Nikki Sixx fan fiction (Chapter seven)
A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this chapter! Nikki is so soft and just...ahh! I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Trigger warnings: None, just the regular drugs and drinking. The attempted attack is discussed briefly at the beginning but in no great detail. There’s also a tiny, tiny bit of smut! Wordcount: 1187 Masterlist: Chapter one | Chapter two | Chapter three | Chapter four | Chapter five | Chapter six
Holland thought that when they returned to the apartment, Nikki would throw himself straight into the party, but instead he guided her straight to their bedroom and sat on the bed with her, clasping her hand tightly. He hadn't let go since they'd left the bar. "Are you sure you're alright?" He said softly.
Holland sighed, looking down at their entwined hands. "That scared the shit out of me," she admitted. "You didn't have to defend me, you know. You could have been hurt."
"But I wasn't," he shrugged, like it was truly no big deal, "and he could have done worse to you. I'd have taken a couple of hits if it meant keeping you safe."
"Why do you care so much about me, Nikki?" She asked. The tears had returned to her eyes. He reached out and gently wiped them away, brushing the hair away from her face in the process. "You don't even know me. You could have any girl out there, but you're sat in here with me. Why?"
"I don't know why I feel this way about you, I just do." He said. Holland looked away from him, squeezing her eyes shut tightly, trying to fight off a sob. "Holly, hey," he said. His voice was surprisingly gentle. "You're safe now, alright? You're with me. He can't hurt you again. I promise."
He took her chin between his index finger and thumb and turned her to look at him. Even then, with black mascara streaming down her face, and her lips chapped where she'd anxiously chewed them, he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Nikki seemed to hesitate, and then he moved forward and kissed her.
All the tension that had been building between them over the past two days drained away and Holland returned the kiss, moving her hands up to his hair. His hands slid down her body and he gave her a gentle push back against the bed so he was laying on top of her. He moved to take off her shirt, but the bedroom door opened behind them, and Tommy stumbled in, followed by a different girl to the one from the night before. "Uhh, fuck," he laughed nervously, "sorry, dudes. Wrong room!" He backed out, but as he shut the door behind him, he yelled, "get some, Sixx!"
Holland giggled. "Come on, rockstar," she said, "they're all waiting for you out there."
Nikki grinned at her and got up from the bed, holding a hand towards her to help her up. She paused by the mirror to wipe the smudges of mascara and eyeliner from her cheeks and then followed him out to the front room where the party was in full swing. They all cheered as Nikki arrived, and he was immediately offered a line. He glanced at Holland, raising an eyebrow as if to offer her some as well, but she shook her head. Drinking was one thing, cocaine was another entirely.
He snorted the line and then collapsed onto the sofa, pulling Holland onto his lap. Part of her thought he would immediately turn his interest to the groupies in the room, who were most certainly interested in him, but he didn't. That night, he only had eyes for Holland. Maybe tomorrow, he'd move on to a different girl, but while she had his attention she certainly wasn't going to turn it down.
Across the room, Vince smirked at her, and Holland made a mental note to thank him later for pointing out Nikki's, (fairly obvious), crush to her. But at that moment, it was difficult to think about anything other than Nikki's hand resting on her inner thigh. Suddenly, from the kitchen, the landline rung. None of the boys looked as though they were going to get up to answer it, so as the only sober person in the room, Holland took the responsibility of answering.
"Motley Crue residence, Holland speaking," she said.
"Oh, hi Holly! It's Doc."
"Hey Doc!" She grinned, "what's up?"
"Well, first I wanted to check you were alright," he told her, and she could hear the concern in his voice, "I heard about the trouble with that guy at the bar. He didn't hurt you, did he?"
Wow. News travels fast in Hollywood, she thought. "I'm alright, Doc," she promised him, "Nikki took care of him for me and security banned him from the joint for life."
"Good to hear it. Secondly, I've got some news for the boys."
"Oh?"
"I've just had a call from Ozzy's management team," Doc said, "he's personally requested that Motley Crue open for him on The Prince of Darkness tour, starting next week."
"Holy shit! That's amazing!" She said excitedly. She was excited not only for the boys, but for herself too. Black Sabbath had been the first band Holland worked with when she became a PR manager, so she was excited to reunite with Ozzy. "I've got to go tell them. Thanks, Doc!"
She hung up the phone and rushed back into the front room, climbing onto the coffee table to get their attention in the chaos of the party. "Band meeting in mine and Nikki's room!" She announced. "Oh, and can someone get Tommy? I'd rather not be scarred for life by whatever he's doing in his room."
While Vince went to collect Tommy, Mick and Nikki followed her to the bedroom. "What's this about, Holly?" Nikki asked her, sitting on the bed. He knew it wasn't bad news because of the huge grin on her face, but he was an impatient boy all the same. Holland only smiled knowingly and hushed him.
"Wait until the others are here." She said.
A minute or so later, Vince and Tommy arrived, though Tommy looked less than impressed at being interrupted. He was hastily buttoning up his trousers as he came in and was without a shirt. "Alright, we're all here, what's going on?" Nikki asked again, raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, so that was Doc on the phone," she told them, barely able to contain her excitement, "and he's got some really great news for you all. This afternoon, Ozzy Osbourne's management team got in contact with him. The prince of darkness himself has personally requested that you boys open for him on his tour!"
The boys stared at her in silence, the news not quite sinking in. "A-Are you serious?" Nikki stammered, "Ozzy Osbourne wants us on his tour?"
"That's what Doc said!" 
"Holy shit!" Nikki jumped up from the bed and pulled Holland into his arms, spinning her around. She laughed, burying her face in his shoulder. "This is fucking amazing!" He set her down, "you're coming, right?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." 
"I think this calls for a fucking celebration!" Vince grinned.
The boys engaged in some kind of weird group hug, and though Holland was happy to watch from afar, Nikki's arm shot out and he pulled her in by her arm, squashing her in the middle. And then, she knew she truly wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Afraid ch 10
Taglist: @sparxx27​
Tumblr media
“I don’t understand why we have to keep having this same argument” I pinched the bridge of my nose.
“You’re not getting any less pregnant with my kid (y/n)” Nikki hissed between clenched teeth. “You expect us to transport him between two houses as an infant?”
“I just don’t understand why this is such a big deal and why we’re in such a rush.” I nervously picked at the skin around my nails.
“You’re almost four months pregnant!” He was pacing the small space between my living room and kitchen. Something that had become habit while we argued.
“You’re welcome to be here with the baby and myself.”
“I haven’t lived in an apartment since I had the money to buy a house you think I’m willingly moving into your tiny ass apartment?” Okay maybe that was a ridiculous request.
“I’m not sitting here and fighting with you.” I stood up grabbing my purse and car keys from their places by my front door.
“Where the hell are you going?”
“For a fucking drive.” I slammed the front door behind me and quickly made my way to my car as angry tears filled my eyes.
“I hope you don’t cry as much as you make me cry” I sniffled patting my stomach as I pulled out of the parking lot. I knew exactly where I needed to go to get myself together.
I pulled into the driveway behind one of the many cars that sat there, most of them hardly receiving any use. I cut the engine and checked my reflection in the rear view mirror to inspect how puffy my eyes were from crying during the drive over. I knocked on the front door and waited a few seconds for any noise on the other side. Hearing nothing I knocked again to no avail. Finally getting fed up I rapid pushed the doorbell and the front door was soon swinging open to a freshly awake Tommy lighting a cigarette.
“What the fuck (y/n) I was sleeping.” Tommy yawned.
“It’s 2 in the afternoon” I pushed past him making my way into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of Coke out of the fridge before flopping on the couch.
“What are you doing here?” Tommy asked sitting next to me on the couch and placing my legs in his lap. That was our usual position for when we needed a good venting session and despite his question Tommy knew exactly why I was there.
“Your best friend is pushy and thinks everything should go his way or not at all.” 
“Hi have you met Nikki Sixx?” Tommy chuckled. “What is it about this time?”
“He just keeps insisting I move in with him and I don’t see why I need to do that.”
“You’re having a baby together. I think that calls for living together” Tommy scoffed.
“I don’t want to move in with him.” Well that was half true.
“Why? You guys basically have lived together since we first went to Vancouver.” 
“I don’t want to live in that house Tommy. I can’t raise our kid in that place.” I felt tears starting to form in my eyes. “That house is where Nikki lived his worst moments, where he shot up, and every time I go there it’s all I can think about the entire time. Our baby can’t be there.”
“So tell him that then you dork. Make something work.” Tommy shrugged like it was the simplest solution. He opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by the phone ringing in the kitchen. He got up muttering that it was probably Heather calling from where she was filming.
I flipped through the channels on TV to see what I could distract myself with while he had what would probably be a long phone call. I changed the channel again to Mtv and was both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised with the Motley Crue music video for “You’re All I Need” playing. I couldn’t help but chuckle remembering the story Nikki had told me behind that song, man he really was a crazy person while on drugs.
“God that might be one of my favorite and least favorite songs off that album” Tommy spoke before dropping back onto the couch and putting my legs in his lap again.
“Well I’m sure when you helped him write it you didn’t know he was writing it to be vindictive. How is Heather?” Tommy paused for a half second then cleared his throat.
“She’s uh- she’s good. We’re kind of in our own little argument right now” He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
“Well spill, what’s going on?” I patted my thighs indicating for him to rest his head there, which he did without question.
“It’s just with you and Sixx having this baby, and Vince and Mick having kids, I want to start a family too.” He said quietly.
“And Heather still doesn’t want to have children?” I ran my fingers through his long and messy hair.
“She’s worried they’ll ruin her chance of having a long career, but she’s my wife and I’m a fucking rockstar. She doesn’t need to work. She’s just stubborn.”
“She wants to be her own person not just Tommy Lee’s wife.” I chuckled.
“Yeah well I wouldn’t have made her my wife if I knew we were never going to be a family” He huffed. “Can I ask you a question?”
“Any time you want to you can”
“Can I touch your belly?” He asked shyly and I grabbed his hand resting on his side and placed it on my stomach.
We stayed like that for what seemed like forever before I even noticed Tommy’s sniffling. He sat up to wipe a stray tear that had fallen.
“I’m sorry. That isn’t very manly of me” Tommy sighed.
“Don’t be sorry. I know how bad you want to be a dad” I could feel my own tears starting to form and mentally cursed Nikki for doing this to me.
“I just have always wanted my own family. It’s my lifelong dream.” Tommy mumbled.
“I hope she comes around.” I cried as the flood gates opened in my eyes.
“Oh my god Nikki was right you do cry about everything now.” Tommy laughed and I smacked him with the throw pillow behind me.
“I can’t help that the slightest sad thing makes me a blubbering mess.” I sniffed. “It’s Nikki Jr in here that is making me emotional.”
“Please tell me that is not really a name consideration for the baby.”
“God no!” I exclaimed. “It’ll be a cold day in hell when I name any of my children Nikki Jr. I would rather name them something weird like apple or lavender”
“You should name him Tommy Jr.”
“Yeah right!” I giggled.
The lock to my apartment felt ten times louder than normal as I turned my key inside of it. Nikki sat on the couch watching an action movie I couldn’t name. I didn’t say anything as I set my things in their designated spots and made my way to Nikki. I went to walk past him to sit on the recliner near by, but he reached out and grabbed my wrist pulling me into his lap.
“Hey” He said barely above a whisper.
“Hey” I played with his hand nervously. “I was worried you wouldn’t be here when I got back.”
“With you is where I want to be.” He grabbed my chin softly and lifted my head to look him in the eyes. “I love you (y/n).”
“I love you Nikki.” Our lips connected in a soft peck and Nikki rested his forehead against mine.
“You know if you keep running to my best friend when we argue I will have to challenge you to a fight for him” he tucked his hand under my shirt to rest on my abdomen, his new favorite spot and my ass long forgotten.
“Wait how did you know I was with Tommy?”
“I called him to see what he was doing to try to clear my head with MY best friend.” I stuck my tongue out at his playful words and he tickled my side in response.
“He only got one phone call while I was there and it was- ohhhh he lied to me so I wouldn’t know it was you that called.”
“Yeah I kind of asked him to not tell you it was me.” He chuckled nervously.
My stomach growled loudly cutting through the breif second of silence that had fallen between us.
“Did Tommy feed you?” Nikki scowled.
“I didn’t ask him to feed me.” I replied sheepishly.
“You know you need to feed our son so he can grow to be a big strong rockstar like his dad.”
“Would you quit calling our baby a boy we don’t know yet.” I rolled my eyes and my stomach punctuated my sentence with another growl.
“Come on momma bear let’s get you and the baby some nourishment”
Nikki wouldn’t tell me where we were going, just said to get dressed and get ready for a surprise. The sports car purred as Nikki (who insisted we take one of his cars) drove up a small incline up to a gated neighborhood full of houses bigger than I could ever imagine.
“Nikki what are we doing here?” I questioned as Nikki punched a few numbers into the box on his side and the gates swung open.
“I just have something to take care of here really quick and then we’re gonna have us a nice date day” Nikki smiled wide kissing my hand that was interlocked with his own.
We drove up the street until we reached a house at the end that looked like it could fit four of my apartments inside of it. Nikki pulled into the driveway and cut the car off hopping out and motioning for me to join him. Raising an eyebrow, but following without question we made our way to the front door. Nikki opened the door and gestured for me to step inside.
“Nikki what are we doing here?” I repeated my earlier question.
“Would you just get in the damn house.”
I stepped inside the foyer and noticed the house was entirely empty. It was clear that nobody was currently living there or possibly nobody ever had.
“So what do you think?” Nikki asked leaning against the wall.
“Of what?”
“Our new house.”
“Our new WHAT?!” I choked.
“This is where we’re going to live and raise our son and any other kids we have.” Nikki shrugged. “So what do you think?”
“I think you’re a crazy person Nikki fucking Sixx.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face close to mine. “But I love the shit out of you”
Nikki wasted no time closing the distance between our lips and slipping his hands to the back of my thighs. Following his cues I hopped up for him to lift me and wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me into the kitchen never once breaking concentration off of kissing me. He sat me on the counter and we broke apart to sloppily remove our clothes.
“Not even moved in and we’re already breaking in the kitchen” Nikki chuckled undoing the ties on his leather pants.
“We’ve haven’t done a single thing traditionally yet why ruin a good thing?”
And break in the kitchen we did.

Afraid Ch 8
Warnings: Mild smut. A smidgen if you will
Tumblr media
The smell of blueberry pancakes permeated my nose and I rolled awake to Nikki, still naked like always, flipping through channels with the tray from room service next to him. God I love him so much, I thought fondly, but then another smell hit my nose. Bacon. And my stomach turned. Bolting out of the bed I ran to the bathroom and emptied the contents of my stomach right into the toilet. The Jack must have affected me worse that I had previously thought, but I felt better after getting it out.
“Uh what was that?” Nikki asked from the doorway to the bathroom.
“The Jack last night made me feel a little sick and I think it just hit me again. I feel fine now I just need to wash my mouth out.” I shrugged going to the sink.
“Are you sure? You don’t feel like you’re running a fever or anything?” He asked pressing a hand to my forehead.
“You’re sweet babe, but I feel perfectly fine now. Just not the drinker I used to be you know.” His concern reminded me of why I was so enamoured with him in the first place.
We sat on the bed eating our breakfast and watching the news despite me being bored by it. Nikki liked keeping up to date now that he ‘wasn’t clouded by the fog of heroin’ so the news in the mornings became a new routine. Nikki luckily ate his bacon first so the urge to vomit subsided quickly. I had just phoned the desk for new towels when there was a knock on our room door.
“That’s weird. Maybe it’s Tommy?” I pondered outloud. There’s no way the towels were being brought to the room already.
Nikki opened the door with a loud groan and soon Doc was walking into the room.
“We’re going back to LA for a few days.” He wasted no time getting to the point of his visit.
“What? Why?” I asked. We still had a lot to do with the album as the boys were still working out kinks with a few songs.
“Well we need the boys to do a few more interviews and I have to have a meeting with the record company” Nikki rolled his eyes and Doc continued. “We leave late tonight so get your shit together” With that he was out of the room.
“I hate interviews” Nikki groaned flopping on the bed on his back.
“I’m sorry you are going to have to do a few interviews.” I chuckled and he rolled over to lay his head into my chest.
“It’s just hardly ever about the music and mostly about the rumors or gossip. Not to mention that I feel like I always end up doing the talking for the band. I don’t want it to seem like I’m the leader when we’re a family, but they just don’t really talk.”
“I miss Alarik so I kind of am excited to get back.” I laughed and Nikki sighed.
“I can’t believe I’m going to have to be okay with having a fucking cat around Whiskey”
“Has he ever even been around a cat?” I forgot Nikki had a dog.
“No, but he has been to a few obedience classes so he’s really good.” Nikki tightened his hold on me. “Every time I have to leave like on tour or rehab he goes to training.”
“Wait.” I realized we were talking as if our animals would meet any time soon. “We’re speaking as if this is a near future. We just made things official.”
“Oh I….yeah you’re right.” Nikki kissed the spot on my sternum. “I just got ahead of myself.”
“I just don’t want to rush anything yet you know? I love how things are right now between us.” I lazily dragged my fingers through his hair.
“I get that” Nikki sat up and connected our lips in a soft kiss.
I never got tired of kissing Nikki. Every touch of our lips together sparked something inside of me that caused my heart to beat at lightning speed. I quickly flipped us so I was straddling him.
“We still have a bit of time to kill before we need to actually start getting things together.” Nikki cooed trailing his hand down my body before his thumb landed on my clit and began making tiny circles.
“I think maybe we can think of a few things to do to kill the time.” I said between moans bucking my hips against his hand.
“I can definitely think of a few things to do before we absolutely need to get ready” Nikki smirked sinking two fingers inside of me.
“Oh fuck” I gasped.
“Not yet, but we’ll get there.” Nikki chuckled.
“Shut up and finger me Nikki”
     The jet ride was as I had pictured it would be in all honesty. The boys were all being shit heads and despite me trying to distract myself with a book it wasn’t working.
“All I know is when we get back I’m asking Doc to give me a new room at the other end of the hall from you idiots” Mick huffed.
“What do you mean Mick? I thought you liked rooming next to me?” I asked a little hurt.
“That was before you and Nikki started going at it like rabbits.” Mick rolled his eyes and continued tuning his guitar. “If I wanted to listen to other people have sex all the time I would watch the porn channels”
“Well at least you know I’m actually getting off” I shrugged and returned to my book.
“Wait what do you mean? Those girls are getting off.” Tommy asked suddenly interested at the mention of porn.
“No way. They’re clearly faking.” I laughed. “No girl sounds like that when they actually get off.”
“The sounds they make are too loud to be fake.” Vince scoffed.
“Nikki” I hollered getting the distracted bassists attention.
“Huh?” He looked up from his notebook.
“Have I ever sounded like how girls do in porn?” I asked to prove a point.
“Once. When I gave you that really awesome orgasm.” He smirked. “You remember, we were having a quickie at the studio and I told you that we don’t finish until you finish and then you… wait.” The pieces connected in his mind as I watched.
“I needed to get back to work” I shrugged.
“So you faked it?!” Nikki exclaimed suddenly standing.
“I had to we needed to get back to work.” Next thing I knew Nikki was dragging me into the bathroom. “What are you doing?”
“I got off that day and you didn’t” Nikki said matter of factly.
“Yes I just said that.” Nikki picked me up and set me on the counter of the sink before dropping to his knees.
“I’m going to rectify that.” And rectify he did.
     My whole body ached, I had a runny nose, and I was nauseous. It was safe to say I was sick as a dog. Nikki had offered to stay with me and skip his MTV recording with Vince, but I wouldn’t let him do that. I took a bit more cold medicine and made my way back to my VCR to put in Dirty Dancing when there was a knock at my door. Sam and Nikki had a key to get in so if it were either of them I would think they would just walk in, I thought as I looked through the peep hole and caught a glimpse of Tommy.
“Tommy? What are you doing here?” I asked opening the door.
“Heather is out of town for filming something and Nikki is doing the MTV thing and said you were sick so I figured you would be home.” He waltzed right in and to my cabinets as if he owned the place.
“How did you get my address?” I made myself comfortable on the couch again.
“Oh, Tom.” He whirled around in my kitchen. “You don’t have anything in this place.”
“I’ve been in Canada with you guys. I haven’t had a need to buy groceries.” 
“Okay you wait here I’ll be back” I wanted to ask what that meant, but he was gone before I could form the words. Oh well, I’ll watch my movie then. About a half an hour later Tommy was walking into my apartment with a few bags hanging off his arms.
“Woah what is all this?” I asked my curiosity peaked.
“Well I know Heather likes some certain stuff when she’s sick so I figured you would probably like the same kind of stuff” He acted as if the gesture was no big deal. I checked the bags over and saw there was soup, chocolate, and The Lost Boys on VHS.
“Oh Tommy you didn’t have to do this for me.” I was on the verge of tears.
“It’s no biggie.” Tommy shrugged grabbing a beer from the six pack he was putting in my fridge and sat on the couch. I was making my way back to the couch with the chocolate in hand when there was another knock on my door. Confused again I looked through the peep hole and saw Sharise.
“Sharise what are you doing here?” I flung the door open startling her.
“Oh Sharise what’s up?” Tommy waved.
“Vince said Nikki told him you were sick and I thought you would like a little company.” Sharise made her way into the apartment and plopped on the couch next to Tommy.
“Did Nikki make it sound like I was dying or something?” I joked joining them.
   “Honey I’m home” Nikki called out in a funny voice walking through the door, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Tommy, Sharise, and I giggling on the couch. “I was just thinking it smells like T-Bone has been here”
“Hey babe” I spoke around giggles “T-Bone let me have a few puffs of his joint to help my nausea”
“It worked” Tommy smiled proudly.
“Well if Nikki is back that means Vince will be home soon so I better head out. Feel better hun.” Sharise hugged Nikki and headed out the door warning him to take good care of me.
“Yeah I’ll head home too so Nikki can give you his own dose of medicine.” Tommy winked sticking his tongue out earning himself a small flick on the nose from Nikki. 
“I’ll see you tomorrow T-Bone.” Nikki sat down on the couch and motioned for me to climb in his lap.
“I missed you all day” I nuzzled my face into his neck.
“Remember when you couldn’t stand me?” He chuckled pressing a kiss to the top of my head.
“You made a horrible first impression.” my voice muffled into his skin.
“Ya got me there. How about breakfast for dinner? I could make blueberry pancakes?” My stomach growled at the mention of food. “I’ll take that as a yes”
I watched fondly from the couch as Nikki began to prepare our breakfast for dinner. He was much more caring than I would have ever given him credit for in the past. He hummed a melody I didn’t recognize to himself as he worked. 
“Almost done babe, I just need to prepare my bacon” He flashed a smile at me getting the bacon in the pan. Then the smell hit me. I ran to the bathroom just barely making it to the toilet. I had never been a big fan of bacon, but the smell never made me sick before now. That’s when it hit me.
“Babe are you okay?” Nikki’s worried voice came from behind me.
“Nikki what day is it?” I asked trying not to panic.
“The seventeenth why?” the confusion evident in his voice.
Slowly I lifted my head from the toilet.
“I���m late.”
“Late for what?”
“No Nikki. I’m late, late.” I tried again.
“I still don’t- oh. OH. Oh fuck.” The pieces finally clicking.
“Yeah. Fuck”

Cigarettes and Regret PT 2. (Nikki X Reader)
As always, I am sensitive baby and yet I crave validation. So tell me what you think but please be nice. I’ve never really written smut until recently so I’m working on it. Also thank you for even reading this.
Warnings: Alcohol use, drug use, and SMUTTTT (it’s motley y’all)
Tumblr media
Nikki and Tommy were different and yet exactly the same, if Tommy was a BB gun then Nikki was a glock. Tommy loved you, but didn’t really respect you as a girlfriend (as much as he respected you as a person); but Nikki could never love you and yet there was such a level as respect there it almost caught you off guard. Tommy was soft and caressing in bed with you and would touch you so gently you could cry then would up and leave you in bed alone or roll over to sleep. Nikki was dominating, rough, and needy in bed and would cause mild bodily harm (not that you complained) then would hold you to him while you talked about anything. They were the same personality though, they weren’t called the Terror Twins for nothing, and unfortunately they were both possessive. 
You learned that the hard way when Nikki particularly had enough of your rubbing Tommy in his face. To be fair he had started it with a groupie and you were just returning the favor, but he didn’t like it despite having no right to be possessive of you. It had started in the green room at The Whiskey before one of their shows and continued to the afterparty at the dingey apartment. Motley was starting to sell out shows more and more and with that came bigger parties, more (better) drugs, and lots of groupies. You were sitting in Tommy’s lap in the green room before their show and he was placing kisses along your neck telling you something, but it was hard to concentrate with Nikki’s death glare through the mirror reflection. 
“(Y/N), did you hear me?” Tommy asked lightly biting your shoulder catching your attention again.
“I’m sorry babe I got distracted, what were you saying?” You responded breaking your eye contact with Nikki to look at Tommy
“I was just saying how much I love you and that I’m grateful you have been here this whole time. Once we make it big I’m gonna make sure we have the wedding of your dreams” He smiled up at you rubbing your thigh. You choked on the whiskey you had been trying to take a sip of and it burned your nose causing some tears and a lot of coughing.
“WEDDING?!” You and Nikki said in unison looking at Tommy like he had three heads.
“Well yeah (y/n), you’re my girl and you’ve always been loyal to me and I can’t imagine my life with anyone else.” He acted as if the decision was already set in stone.
“Babe we...we haven’t even talked about this before” You suddenly felt very warm and uneasy “There isn’t any reason to get married.”
“Come on babe we’ve been dating forever okay, it’s sweet, it’s tradition, and my mom already loves you” He waved in the air as if to say it was settled and you felt your stomach fall into your calves.
Nikki suddenly pushed up from the table in front of the mirror and mumbled something about needing blow and his dick sucked. Now your stomach was really on the floor. He came back with a groupie in tow that was chomping her gum and gripping his arm like he was her life line. She pulled the small baggie of blow out of her..well not bra because you didn’t think she was wearing one under the tight leather top. Nikki grinned venomous, deadly right at you before snorting some off her tit and motioning for Vince to follow suit. She seemed to be pleased as punch and turned her attention to Tommy.
“You want to get in on this drummer?” She was bold. You were right there.
“Actually I have him covered” You snapped “And unless your plastic surgeon gave you a third boob somewhere I’d say you’re covered too”
“Doesn’t look like you have anything besides your whole body covered, nun” The groupie snapped back and you heard Nikki chuckle under his breath. Oh if looks could kill your glare would’ve vaporized him on the spot. Fine. Two could play this game.
“Tommy hand me your blow” You instructed and lifted your t-shirt (one of their shirts you had pitched in on getting made) off showing a thin black lacy bra that left nothing to the imagination. You poured a tiny bit of coke in the divot between your neck and collar bone and waited.
Tommy hesitated “Uh babe-”
“Well if you don’t want to do it maybe Sixx does” You cut him off flicking your gaze to Nikki who was smirking and about to come over making the groupie scoff.
“No” Tommy growled and did the bump out of the crevice you had placed it then swiped his tongue out to catch the remnants. You let out a soft breathy moan intentionally and caught his face in one of your hands and kissed him deeply. You allowed him to kiss you deeper and grope you a tiny bit in front of the boys. You pulled back and smiled at him as he met you with a big dopey smile of his own.
“See how could I not want to marry you babe. You’re so good to me” Tommy leaned his forehead against yours.
You felt immensely guilty because while you knew Tommy would enjoy what you did, you didn’t do it for him. It wasn’t long before they were called on stage and you made your way to the side to watch them play. Side stage was your favorite place to be for their shows because you could feel the bass in your chest and maybe because you had an unblocked view of the bass player from there. Nikki was being more aggressive with his bass than usual, hitting it more, swinging it around more, hell he was even rolling around on the stage more. It was kind of hot. When they finished the show with lighting Nikki on fire, as per usual, you saw him direct Mick to spray him with more alcohol and you were afraid they’d never get him put out for half a second before the flames were extinguished.
You walked back to the house with the boys hand in hand with Tommy making small talk with everyone but Nikki who was trying to take home the award for multitasking by making out with the groupie and walking at the same time. To say you were annoyed would be an understatement at this point. You didn’t know why he was punishing you like you had done something wrong. It made your heart hurt a little bit to know he would intentionally hurt you because of something Tommy said. You made your way through the window and immediately grabbed your tequila you had stashed in the kitchen for when you really needed to shut off and let loose.
“Damn (y/n)” Vince laughed climbing through the window seeing you with the bottle to your lips “Drinking to forget tonight or something?”
“More like drinking to celebrate a kick ass show” You lied with a big smile
“Think you’ll explore the wild side with us again?” He waggled his eyebrows at you while preparing lines on the counter
“(Y/N) doesn’t like coke remember” Tommy said getting ready to do a line
“She’s a changed woman T-Bone. She did it with me the other night” Nikki broke away from the groupie long enough to say.
“Wait what?” Tommy seemed almost hurt by the fact she did drugs with his best friend. It almost made her forget he had been cheating on her during that moment.
“Well you were apparently busy or something I couldn’t find you” You shrugged “I’ll do it with you tonight if you want me to babe.” You hoped you sounded innocent enough. Tommy’s infidelity was a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation.
“Oh uh yeah I was trashed I think I passed out somewhere” He really was a terrible liar.
“So you gonna do it?” Vince asked excitedly.
“Yeah I’ll do it again” You agreed and took a line off the counter shortly after the rest of the boys (minus mick) took their lines.
You were trashed. Beyond trashed actually. You had lost track of Tommy a long time ago and it seemed Nikki had lost track of his groupie so if you had to guess the two were probably together. Gross. You went out of the window to smoke a cigarette and get fresh air, you might have overdone it with the tequila and coke and were starting to feel overwhelmed. It didn’t take long for Nikki to follow you out there and suddenly you were very aware of the parallels to the last time you were at one of their parties.
“Are you gonna marry him?” Nikki asked angrily. You couldn’t help the smile pulling at the corner of your lips and you wanted to make him squirm a little bit.
“Maybe. I think a rockstar husband would be a very good look for me, don’t you think?” You were challenging him.
“Yeah your name in papers all the time detailing how often your husband cheats sounds like a great life” He snapped lighting his own cigarette.
“Why do you care? It’s not like it affects you.” You were frustrated. Both of these guys you wanted didn’t want you completely. Why were you even wasting your time?
“Because I don’t think you should lower yourself to that position.” He was facing you, but you couldn’t look at him. Not right now. It was too intense.
“Oh what should I just stick around for you to fuck when groupies become too boring for you Sixx?” You suddenly whipped around to face him in your anger.
“Groupies always bore me.” He was smirking. What was so funny to him?
“Well this conversation is boring me. I’m gonna go fuck a random, you should do the same Sixx” You stubbed our your cigarette and made your way to the window. Your back suddenly came in contact with the wall.
“Why are you testing my patience (y/n)?” Nikki whispered into your ear. You shuddered from his breath ghosting against your ear.
“I don’t know what your mean” You feigned innocence.
“You have been antagonizing me since before the show and you fucking know it” Nikki growled.
“You got a groupie” You pouted.
“You are basically engaged to my best friend” He chuckled out darkly.
“And yet.” You looked up into his eyes and smirked.
“And yet.” He repeated and closed the distance between you.
Your mind was a whirlwind at the moment and you hated to admit you loved it. Nikki had you pinned against his wall with your hands above you while he littered your neck with hickies. You wouldn’t be able to explain those away and you knew Tommy would know what those are, but how could you care when Nikki was grinding his hips into yours? He released your hands and croached down lifting up your denim skirt slightly to pull your matching underwear down to your ankles then off and pushing your legs apart. He grabbed your ass and pulled you towards his face and he began licking your clit. You were whimpering and pulling his hair as he hummed against you never ceasing his licking. You felt yourself becoming close and your moans became more desperate and then he stopped and stepped away.
“Clothes off now and lay on the bed” He demanded and you obeyed watching as he slowly removed his own clothing before positioning himself between your legs. He leaned down and kissed you hard then grabbed your legs and put them on his shoulders. 
“I don’t like to share (y/n). I don’t like to be antagonized. I don’t like not being in control. I’m going to make sure you remember all of this” He said right before he pushed his entire length into you. He didn’t waste time allowing you to adjust. He just thrust into you hard and fast. You were making high pitched noises and digging your nails into his shoulders and it only encouraged him. He moved one of your legs to wrap around his waist and put one of his hands on your throat.
“Fuck baby you feel so good” He groaned throwing his head back. His thrusts were getting sloppy so you knew he was close and you were getting close too. You felt the familiar sensation starting to build and you threw your head back, his name a prayer falling from your lips and he followed you shortly after.
Just like last time he pulled you to him and kissed you lazily trying to regain his normal breathing rate. You felt safe and warm and if you were naive, loved.
“Don’t marry him” Nikki whispered into the still air around you both.
“I never planned on it” You whispered back and you felt his arms tighten around you. You didn’t know what this meant and you didn’t understand Nikki; but at that moment, as sleep took over your body, you couldn’t give a fuck less.
