[/i] music with his band. It often put Brent down when not all of the band could meet up on a regular basis which was mostly down to their professions and on the few occasions where they were about to have a full band practise or meeting, Brent wished it could never end. He was poised and ready to open the door as swiftly as possible before lunging at whichever bandmate(s) appeared first...[/color][/font][/ul] |

Today had been a tiring day at work for Alexander. He had been called in early because they had been overwhelmed by a wave of muggles. Yes, muggles. Apparently they had been participating in a chess tournament and these ones had all purchased certain 'beverages' that enhanced mental ability. Along with another couple of healers they had pinpointed the ingredient that had tainted the potion. Supposedly, runespoor eggs had been added but whoever prepared the potion had been duped into buying or had purposely used eggs from a non-magical breed of snake. The muggles had been retching purple vomit and whilst quoting famous philosophers for hours on end until they had been able to right it.
But, Alex hadn't let it get him too down having his day off interrupted by this mishap. He had band practice later.
The young man had jumped into the shower and napped a good few hours before it had been time to leave. He threw on some ordinary clothes, grabbed his guitar and dashed out the door.
Rubbing his still bleary eyes, Alex apparated right in front of Brent's house, where they'd meet up to jam. His precision was excellent. Walking through the door that had been opened, Alex's face lit up on spotting Brent.
"Hola Brent, long time no see, eh? " Alexander chuckled, speaking with a natural spanish purr.

Chase was excited that they had actually planned a band practice. He had missed Alex and Reid. He missed Brent too, but that one didn't count because he saw him almost every day. He still missed him though. That cute smile... his laugh... everything. But if he started thinking about Brent again, he was going to be even more late. And he was already late.
He couldn't believe that he chose this meeting, or practice, to be late to. Chase was almost always early, not late. But today the animals had kept him a little longer. One of the thestrals had decided they no longer wanted to reside in the forest and Chase had to hunt him down. But he was finally there. A tad on the dirty side from running around in the forest, but oh well. He didn't want to be later than he already was.
Walking in, he saw that Alex was already there, but Reid wasn't. His job was probably holding him back a bit. Oh well. "Boo boo! Jay!"

Reid seriously needed to work on his time management skills. It never failed that he was always late to things, especially band meetings and practices. He knew that if it wasn't for the fact that his band mates were also his best friends he would have been "asked" to leave the band a long time ago.
He rushed home to change and grab his bass before heading over to Brent's place. He opened the door when he got there and found that he was once again the last one there. Shocker. Not!
"I'd apologize for being late but you guys should be used to it by now." He hugged Brent, then Chase, and finally Alex. "Well now that the most handsome band member is here, we can finally play some tunes!"

[/i] too long." he whined. One day he was going to march into St. Mungos and demand that they stopped working his friend so hard. Well, Brent wanted too but he wasn't quite stupid enough to actually go through with it. The next person to be attacked by Brent was Chase. "You're late, Chay-Chay." he mock-glared at his boyfriend. Judging by the state of him, Brent presumed he'd been doing something animal-related which was typical really. Nonetheless, Brent quickly kissed Chase on the lips, keeping it brief to not make things awkward whilst Alex was there too. Brent almost shocked himself with his consideration, something he usually lacked in. It wasn't surprising in the slightest that Reid arrived last, being late as well. But everyone had made it so Brent didn't really care and returned Reid's hug. "Yup, Reidy, we sure are." he chuckled. Reid didn't even deserve Brent's mock-glare, he'd missed him too much. "Hey, actually I think you'll find the most handsome band member got here first because he lives here." Brent smirked, rolling his eyes. There was no way he was letting Reid get away with that.[/color][/font][/ul] |

Alexander grinned on seeing Brent and accepted his hug gladly, wrapping his arms around him and holding it for just a moment. Not long after Chase had arrived and, with a startled flush saw the two go to meet lips. Alex quickly turned around and busied himself with propping his fedora on the side somewhere. He ambled over to a mirror and began to tousle his hair, getting rid of hat-hair and getting it back to its normal, wavy self.
Alexander could hardly believe it when Reid arrived - he hadn't seen the guy in what had seemed like forever. He put more enthusiasm into his hug, even rubbing his hand on his back and ending it with a pat.
"Sorry, Brent. But I agree with Reid on this one. I mean, c'mon, just look at this beard." With a chuckle, he pinched the coarse hair and gave it a gentle tug and shake. To be truthful, he wasn't too keen on facial hair but, on Reid, he could make an exception.
"So we gonna play something? Since we're all together for once?" Alexander continued to chuckle and promptly walked over to the room where they'd practice. He perched himself on a stool in the corner by the window and snapped open his hard guitar case. With a merry hum, he slipped out his guitar on his lap, a white Northern Swede Hagstrom, and began to tune it.
"Anyone got work later?"

Chase smiled when Brent kissed him. He was glad Brent didn't care about hiding their relationship. He had been a tad nervous about it before he had came today, but he figured no matter what; he was with his best friends. What was the worst that could happen. "What are you talking about, I'm never late, Boo-Boo." Chase laughed.
He turned around when Reid entered, and laughed at the entrance he made. Chase couldn't agree with him though. "I don't know about that one. Clearly Brent beats you." Chase laughed and sent his boyfriend a wink while he hugged Reid in welcome.
"Of course we're going to play, Jay!" Chase said. It always surprised him when he got spontaneously happy when he was with the band. At least he hadn't accidentally drank one of those muggle energy drinks again. That was bad.

Reid laughed. He loved getting together with the guys. It was always so much fun. He especially like Alex's hugs. He really missed him when they didn't see each other. He would never say anything, as he doubted that Alex felt the same way, but he has had a crush on him for a while now. If it were anyone else he'd be his normal blunt self and just say it but Alex was different, he didn't want to screw anything up with him. "Pull yourself together man. Stop thinking about how much you love his attention right now."
He looked at Brent and smiled. "Nope, clearly the most handsome came in last as it is I who is the most handsome. Alex even agrees with me. It's all in this face. I mean come on, who couldn't love this face." He smiled again, something he did a lot of when with the guys.
"Let's get this practice started shall we."

[/i] appreciate me." After letting go of Chase, Brent stuck out his tongue at Reid. "You shut up, Rutherford. I am handsomer than you on so many levels." It was so true - in Brent's mind at least. Brent picked up Charlie, his favourite and oldest guitar, with a smile as he entered the band room which, like the rest of his house, bore a very close resemblance to a pigsty. Brent supposed he'd have to clean one day... but that one day would be in the very distant future. "Okay! Anyone have any song preferences?" he asked, grinning a little madly at the other band members.[/color][/font][/ul] |

Alexander just shook his head from his perch on a stook, chuckling quietly at the three. He wasn't going to get any more involved in the debate over "who was more handsome". It was Alex. Hands down. No competition. Alex's chuckle only grew in intensity with this last thought.
"Calm your egos, you too." Alex smiled, finished tuning his guitar and whipping out a rag to polish off her body. Habits. He had plenty and this was one of them. "Both handsome. Now shut it and play." Alex left it at that. He wasn't going to feed anyone's egos. But, if he had to pick, he'd choose Reid. Brent was too moody and unpredictable. He was worse than a girl at times.
"I'm good with anything. Maybe something a little chill today?" In other words... "please, no noise today". Alexander hopped off his seat to plug in his guitar to an effects pedal and then plug that into his amplifier and into a wall socket. Testing the sound, he played the intro to Love Hurts by Incubus. He was in the wrong tuning for the actual song but who cared? He certainly didn't.
"I vote that Chase decides!" Alexander finally grinned, clambering back onto his stool and crossing his legs, balancing his guitar across them. "Because....porque sí!"

Brent could be so childish at times. It made Chase smile. He wrapped his arms around Brent when he had wrapped his around Chase. Holding him close for a minute since he knew they'd be practicing in a minute, and Chase wouldn't be able to. Especially with Reid and Alex here too. Chase wanted a normal practice. Not one they didn't like because Brent and Chase were being all lovey.
"Why do I have to pick!" Chase grumbled. "Fine... let's play one of our songs. Then we can mess around with covers?" Chase asked before walking over to his drumset in the corner and grabbing his sticks. Doing a small and quiet drum roll real quick before playing the opening part of Lying.

Reid knew the "argument" over who was handsomer was over, but he still thought he won that. He also knew that Alex agreed with him but just didn't want to say so again.
He took his bass out of its case and plugged it in. He strummed it a few times to make sure it was tuned. It was time to play, finally. He missed playing with the guys and planned on enjoying the next few hours.

Alexander smiled when he heard the intro. After playing it so many times just with hearing the rhythm he was able to pinpoint which song it was and jumped right in, playing along. He loved his song. The chorus just made him want to get up and jump about.
Alex did it in a sense. The young man slid from his seat and got to his feet, tapping his foot away to the beat that Chase was marking with Reid. I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck... Alex sang along in his head, bobbing his chin gently and flashing a smile at his bandmates. He let it linger longer on Reid though.
Alexander gave his effects pedal a small kick, aligning it properly now that he stood. That way it'd be ready to stomp on to switch to distortion once the song broke into the chorus.

Chase closed his eyes as the rest of the band joined in after he had started the song. He loved Lying the most out of all of their songs. He didn't know why, maybe it was because it made him think of Brent in a way. The lyrics... well. It made Chase think of their break up before. He didn't know why.
He got into his music as he was playing, and listened to Brent's voice. It was like music to his ears. In the literal sense. He just loved the sound of it. He had fallen in love with it all those years ago. When they reached the chorus, Chase opened his eyes and looked at Brent sing. He looked over to Alex, who seemed to be getting into the song a lot, and Reid seemed like he missed it too much. Chase missed it too. A lot. He missed playing his drums whenever he wanted to. Now he kept them at Brent's house for easier access for band practices.
