On the Road Again by Stina

"Okay, guys, it's off to the buses and on the road again!!" Leonie clapped her hands and reluctantly Darren and Daniel entered the huge coaches.

It was late at night and everyone was soon in their sleeping cabins after the exhausting concert.

Stupid idea. It was such a stupid idea to sleep in separate buses. At first Darren had agreed when Daniel said to him: "Listen , Daz, as much as I love to be with you, we have to leave this to the hotel rooms. We can't do all the nice things we love to do on the bus. It would only be a matter of time until someone notices and we would get caught."

"Dan, I can be soo quiet when I have to...."

"No, Daz, you can't. Not so quiet. Not when it comes to this."

He kissed him softly.

"Especially not when you are... coming..."

A deep sigh.

"Okay, Dan..."

And now they had spent two days travelling on the buses without getting into a hotel and Darren was yearning for Daniel. Yearning to touch his face, to kiss him, to hold him, to...

No, he forbid himself to think further. It was too painful. Too painful for his mind, and especially for some other region of his body.

Daniel... Darren was lying in his small cabin in the dark, and he was not able to sleep. All he could think about was Daniel's blond hair... How much he wanted to run his fingers through it... His green eyes... Looking into these beautiful green eyes...

He pressed his face into his pillow. "Danny..." He murmured. The soft swinging of the driving bus... What a pleasure it would be, making love to Daniel, taking advantage of this swift movement... Tonight would be a perfect night for it... In a few days some friends and family would join them on tour and then a lot of things would become completely impossible to do...

He tossed around in his small bunk bed.

It was no use. He never would find sleep.

Silently he got up, tiptoed to the rear of the bus. From the desk he took a tour program and climbed back into his bed.

He switched on the small light, opened the program. Searched for a side with a large picture of Daniel on it. Softly he caressed the paper with his fingertips. "Oh Baby..." He whispered.

His other hand sneaked into his boxers. He sighed. Yeah... That certainly would take away the pressure...

Slowly he began to stroke himself, looking at the pictures all the time. "Danny..." He moaned faintly.

He didn't notice the bus slowing down until it came to a stop. Irritated he stopped in his movements, too, and peeked through the curtain.

A petrol station next to the highway. The driver had left the bus and Darren could hear him filling in the diesel. Again he climbed out of his bed and sneaked to the door.

As it would take quite a long time until the tank would be full, the driver had strolled over to the other bus and both of them went on a short walk to smoke a cigarette.

Darren looked over to the huge purple bus, shining in the neon light. So beautiful... Suddenly so... adorable...

Daniel was in it....

Sleeping? Awake?

Don't do it, Darren... Don't.... he tried to tell himself. What if someone looks into your cabin and discovers you are gone.. What if...

What the hell.

Barefoot and wearing only his shorts he ran over to Daniel's bus.

Hastily he climbed onto the bus. Everyone here seemed to be asleep, too. He had to wake up Daniel and get into his cabin before the driver would come back. He hesitated. Shit. Which one, which one... Daniel had showed him once, but he could not remember... Was it this one? He was nearly sure... Looking left and right, he draw back a curtain silently, grabbed a shoulder.

"Wake up!!" He whispered. A mumbled response. Shit again, this was not Dan.

The sleeper began to move.

Oh no.

Next curtain. Yes.

"Dan, wake up, wake up.."

In the previous cabin Leonie woke up. "Who's there..?

Darren could not wait any longer. He pushed Daniel aside, climbed into the cabin, rolled himself over Dan to the window.

A very confused Daniel opened his eyes and found a hand pressed on his mouth.

"Mmmmph!"

"Baby, it's me, please be quiet, please..."

Leonie peeked out of her cabin. No one was there. Alright, maybe it was a dream that someone had tried to wake her up... She cuddled up in her bed again.

The bus door closed. The engine roared.

In the darkness Daniel stared at Darren.

Slowly Darren removed his hand, only to replace it with his mouth.

When he thought that the kiss had been long enough to tell Daniel without words why he was here, he let his lips wander over to his ear.

"Sorry... I missed you so much..."

"You are crazy!!! Hear me? Crazy!!!! What if someone discovers you are not on your bus!! They will think they left you somewhere, call the police, drive back..."

Darren looked at him with large sad puppy eyes.

"You are not happy that I am here...?"

Daniel sighed. Then he threw his arms around his friend.

"I AM happy... Do you think I didn't miss you?"

"Well, at least you were asleep, contrary to me..."

Daniel's eyes sparkled.

"At least I dreamed of you..."

"REALLY?"

"Yes..."

Darrens hands began to move over Dan's body. "Tell me..."

"Mmmm... That feels good... Alright..."

He held his breath.

"Daz, have you thought about how you want to get back on your bus without anyone noticing?"

"We'll think about that later. Tell me your dream."

"Hmmm... We were in a car... Stuck in a traffic jam... And you pushed back my seat... Opened my pants..."

"Oh wow, and then?"

"No then. You woke me up."

Darren giggled. "Oh shit..."

They were whispering in a very low voice all the time. Darren's hand moved to Dan's hip. "Come on... I think it will be best when you turn on your side, me behind you..."

"What are you talking about, you really can't have that in mind..."

Darren grinned. "Of course I have that in mind..."

"Daz, no!!"

Darren's hands roamed his body. "Come on... Baby...."

"No!!"

"Not so loud, honey..."

Before Dan noticed, he was lying on his side, facing the curtain and he felt something very hard pressed against his bottom.

"No.. Darren, no... Mmmm... Oh Daz..."

"Shhh... I'll do it slow... Don't want to hurt you..."

"Ooohh... Oh, Darren..."

The moan was a bit too loud.

"Argh, can't anyone sleep in peace here.." Leonie grumbled.

She crawled out of her cabin, looked around.

"Who is making all this noise here?!"

She saw Daniel's curtain move a bit.

Moving slowly and lustful, Daniel and Darren had built up a soft rhythm of making love. Darren's mouth was pressed to Dan's shoulder, and his hand muffled Daniel's moans.

"Dan?"

They both froze in their moves.

"Daniel, is everything alright?"

"Shit, that's Leo..." whispered Darren.

Leonie was just about to pull the curtain open, when Daniel's head appeared through a small gap, so small it showed only his face, smiling innocently.

"Hi Leo, can't sleep?"

"Are you making all this noise?" She noticed Daniel's reddened face, his gleaming eyes. "Something wrong with you? Do you have a fever? You sounded like you were in pain.."

Behind Daniel, Darren tried desperately to hold still, but a certain part of his body wanted to push... Pull... Push...

Daniel bit his lip. "No, I just... Had a ..." He swallowed hard. "A bad dream... And I..." he closed his eyes, opened them with difficulty. "Have some... cramps in my... stomach..."

Leonie looked at him concerned. "Want me to get you some medicine?"

Daniel breathed in deeply. "Oh yeah... Eh, I mean, no. No! Thank you, but no."

"Are you sure?!"

"Oh nooo... Da... Eh, I mean Leo, eh, yes, I'm suuuure...."

Leonie shook her head slightly. "I hope you can sleep now... Life on the road really wears you out..."

Daniel grimaced. "Uh, yes... Good night, Leo..."

He closed the curtain and let out a sigh of relief.

Slowly he turned his head. "You... You...!!! Argh, I can't find words!! How could you!"

Darren kissed the back of his neck. "She didn't notice and I could not stop. Now just shut up and let me fuck you, okay?"

Silence.

"Okay..."

Some minutes later.

"Mmm.... Feels good with the rocking of the bus..."

"Yeah... Good so?"

"Yeeeaaahh... Bit deeper..."

"This way?"

"Oooohhh... Yessss....."

Some more minutes later...

"Phhheeewww... Baby, Baby, Baby... Darren, this was REALLY crazy..."

Darren smiled very satisfied. Like a cat that just licked empty a large bowl of cream.

"It was worth it..."

"Oh, definitely..."

Daniel turned around.

"And how do we get you out of here again?"

Again some minutes, and some heavy thinking later.

"THE BUS IS ON FIRE!!!"

"What?!?"

The driver hit the brake when Daniel grabbed his shoulder.

"The bus is on fire, I saw smoke!!!"

The driver looked at the signs beneath the highway. "We have a parking place 100 meters ahead. We'll stop there."

He pressed the microphone button.

"Everybody get up. But no panic."

Daniel looked into the rear view mirror. The second bus left the highway, too. Good.

"Now, Daniel, tell us, where did you see fire?"

Frozen and annoyed about a dozen people were standing outside the buses, looking at him.

"I... Em, I thought I saw something...."

Leonie shook her head. "When the tour is over, you go on vacation. This is an order."

Everybody shuffled back to their buses.

Darren smiled innocently.

"Good night, Daniel!"

"Oh, Good night, Darren... What a fuss here, I did not even see you come out of your bus..."

"Daniel... !!"

"Sweet dreams, Darren!"
