The day for Duncan started out like any other, sleep in until forced awake, eat something, and lay around for awhile, take a shower, and then do his band duties. The only thing he absolutely had to attend today was signing some posters before a show and after they would go off stage he’d be pretty much free to go for the day, free to do whatever he wanted. That’s what he liked about his job, it was something he loved doing, he had a decent amount of friends, and it had a lot of free time. Sure, it had a lot of downs to it, but he tried to make the best of things… how could you enjoy being famous if you were moping around like an emo kid?


He rubbed his eyes while sitting at the kitchen table with David, Zack, Eve, and a few other people were around the bus. Everybody was pretty much eating the same thing, bagels with some cereal to the side. Duncan would joke around while eating and was pretty much quiet other than that, he had showered before break feast so he was awake, he just didn’t have tons of energy bolting in his system quite yet. The band members had agreed to start getting to the stage set and he was the last to follow out the bus, the rest of them a bus or two ahead of him. He didn’t even make it out of the door, Anna’s hand met his chest and she pointed to a chair on the bus, “Sit your ass back down.” It was a line that they all knew when they were in trouble. He felt nervous all the sudden, unsure of what he had done... that Anna could possibly know?


He backed up the steps and sat down, his stomach curling a little. He wasn’t babyish about getting in trouble in general—in fact he was pretty used to it—but something about the first minute with a mad Anna when you don’t know what she knows is really, really fucking scary. He shifted his eyes and waited for her to yell at him and when she did he frowned, pretty pissed off that Gage had snitched on him. He stopped listening after the first minute or two and he stood up in the middle of her talking, just walking past her and out of the door. His mental question was why didn’t David get in trouble too? Had Gage not mentioned him? Or even Lucas? He wasn’t sure who snitched on him exactly but it was someone in that band. Anna didn’t mention names but he was positive it was either the annoying or cute one.


On the way out of the bus he heard Anna scream after him, “Hey… get your ass back here! Don’t think you’ll get away with just walking… I expect you back PRONTO after the show! You’re writing an apology note!” Duncan assumed that she knew there was no chance in hell that he would apologize face to face, a lot like David, sorry wasn’t his thing. Duncan did seem to use it more often though, even if he didn’t mean it in a sincere way 99.99% of the time. He wasn’t going to write that sorry letter either, she’d have to tie him to a chair and force him psychically to write it. Plus, it would take him hours to write it considering he couldn’t spell, punctuate, or even use right verbs in English writing. It wasn’t exactly his fault but it was at the same time. English wasn’t his first language and he learned slang, swear words and all that before anything. He didn’t pay attention in language arts during school; it was surprising he made it through the grades. Thank god for nerds who do your homework… it still didn’t help him now though, did it? There was definitely no college in this kid’s future. His English was originally close to none but his best friend, David Greene had helped him start speaking it and taught him all the words he needed to know in English to help dealing, getting girls, and so on. He helped him with stuff in everyday conversation too, but, the important stuff came first.


Eventually he got to the stage area and met up with his band, going on stage shortly after the band We Dance with Monsters. Duncan’s throat felt very scratchy at the end of the day’s performance, they had been on longer than usual and he hadn’t had a lot of warming up before the show itself. He found himself gurgling water backstage to the side, away from his band mates. He sat on a box –or crate, he wasn’t sure what it was exactly—and leaned back on the wall it sat beside. In his peripheral vision he could see a somewhat familiar figure, a body of someone he recognized but couldn’t quite put his finger on who the kid was. It took him just a few moments to realize it was that jumpy kid from the band that seemed at rivalry with his, we dance with monsters. David had informed him that the kids name was Luke—or Lucas, he couldn’t remember—and that he was pretty much an easy target to mess with. He twisted the cap on the water bottle and dropped it beside the crate, not intending on coming back for it. With a grin he stood up, walked over to him and sat down beside him.



The expression he gave seemed friendly enough but it didn’t last long. The moment he met eyes gaze with Lucas he turned his facial features into a frown with a glare, “You snitched on me didn’t you, little fucker?”

[/color] He knew that the kid would know exactly what he was talking about and was prepared to deal with him denying it. Maybe it wasn’t him though? Regardless, Duncan was going to harass him, whether it meant trying to get him to admit he told or trying to get in his pants.

[/color]ucas’ day wasn’t going so bad, he had hung out with Eleanor a little before his band went on. He had missed her a bit, he knew she had made a new friend in that scary guy, David, but had he taken up all her time? Or was she simply just busy? Either way, Lucas had finally got to spend some quality time with her, he was smiling when he headed to the stage. Their roadie and techie had plugged and set everything up, Lucas was never nervous to go on stage after talking to either Eleanor or Josey. They always knew what to say to calm him down or make him forget about the bunches of people out there in the audience. He was just on time, he had taken his seat at his favorite inanimate object, his drum set and grabbed a hold of his drum sticks. He was ready to play a set, he loved playing, he always felt each beat as he banged the drums. The set went well, as it always did, Lucas was all sweaty from his excessive exercising of the performance. He threw his drum sticks towards the crowds, the fans liked that stuff, plus, his manager had told him it was a good idea to do that. He breathed heavily, tired from the workout he had just did and walked off stage following shortly behind his band mates. He saw the equipment being switched from theirs to RADIO BYE BYE’s, he wanted to get out of there even faster.

He was extremely frightened of the people on that bus, mostly Duncan and David, they always picked on him and were mean to him. He rushed to his bus to take a shower, he hated being all smelly after a set. He returned just in time, Junesong Provision was next to play after Radio Bye Bye, and that band had just finished their set. They were applauded for an encore, so they played another song. Lucas sat to the side talking to Eleanor and Vanna before they went on, he wanted to see them play. He really did love their music, he waved to them as they went to go handle some business before they played and moved some hair out of his face. He felt so refreshed and clean after that shower, now it was time to relax and just kill time. Lucas chose to stay a little away until Radio Bye Bye cleared out, he didn’t want to see or talk to any of them.

He sat to the side and when he couldn’t see them anymore, he moved closer to the stage, sitting on his drum set case as Junesong Provision began their set. He slouched a little, his hands in his lap as he watched. He felt someone sit beside him; he expected it to be Dylan, but when he looked his eyes widened as he recognized the person instantly. It was Duncan, Lucas gulped and automatically looked away, this was what he had been hoping to dread till the end of tour. He didn’t have anyone to come and save him, Eleanor and Vanna were on stage, Josey was at her table selling merchandise, and Dylan was who knew where? Lucas didn’t know how he was going to avoid this, but he was hoping Duncan would just go away or make it quick and painless. Lucas could feel the cold glare piercing through the side of his own face, though the look on Duncan’s face was friendlier than usual when Lucas first looked, Lucas was truly afraid to turn to look at the scary tattoo guy again. Lucas froze and tensed up when Duncan spoke, ”N-no….”[/color], he said squeaked, extremely scared right now. He wanted to run off but his fear wouldn’t let him, he was too frozen into place. He remained looking away from Duncan, now looking down at his hands; he had a lost and scared look in his face. He was afraid to look Duncan in the eye, he only felt he would melt or something. Lucas decided to take the risk, he knew Duncan would probably attack him for not looking at him. Lucas looked his way, a very terrified look on his face, ”I didn’t I s-swear… Gage just… knew… “[/color], he replied nervously. Lucas wasn’t aware that Gage had told on Duncan, he expected Anna, their manager had found out and mentioned it. But it wasn’t Lucas, he bit his lip waiting for Duncan to do or say something more. ”I w-wouldn’t d-do that…I’m not a tattle-tale”[/color], he said innocently as he looked back down at his hands, he tended to stutter when he was extremely nervous or afraid. He could only hope that Duncan would believe him, he didn’t think he would, but Lucas had to stay put no matter what.

Duncan couldn't even believe what he was hearing. Gage just knew? What, was he fucking psychic? The chance that Gage had just done the math correctly and found out it was them didn't really occur to Duncan, he was set on the only explanation that was reasonable in his head. Lucas told on him. He rolled his eyes and slouched his shoulders, his elbows rested on his bent knees. He narrowed his eyes into the normal glare he kept on his face, the one that scared eighty percent of the people he encountered each day away. Duncan could tell just by Lucas' body language that he was uncomfortable, he wasn't surprised either, it was Lucas he was dealing with here. The kid was a complete wuss in Duncan's eyes, and not only that, but he seemed so easy to him. "How'd he fuckin' know, kid? Do enlighten me," He said with annoyance and sarcasm present in his tone. Resting his chin on his hand and watched him, having said what he did before he heard Lucas' say something else. ”I w-wouldn’t d-do that…I’m not a tattle-tale.”

Aw, wasn't that cute? Didn't that term disappear after third grade though? Duncan loosened up a little, suddenly deciding that maybe he should give the kid a little bit of a break. It would take a little more for Duncan to be convinced that he didn't tell on him, but what Duncan's motives were for coming over were changing constantly in his head. He was the type to come in for one reason and leave with a different success, possibly with a hint of success in the other reigon too. He reached forward and touched Lucas's face, it was so innocent and kid-looking... kind of soft, too. He kept himself from smiling, he was on a different mission now: get the most truth out of him and maybe try and mess with him a tad? Disguising the random hostile question he had given, Duncan put the genuine smile he had at first right back on his face to work his way back down from being overly-scary. "Excuse me, nevermind that... but, seriously," he removed his hand from his face, now twirling some of Lucas's brown locks with his fingers, "Did you really not tell on me and did gage?" He said, trying to keep the most calmness that he could. He didn't want to scare him away quite yet, not until the answer was clear.

He looked around, hoping no one would come and try to save 'poor little lucas' and shoo him away from the kid. He was aware that Lucas had several friends that stood up for him a lot, he knew most were girls and he could handle those, but he just didn't want to deal with any of them right now. Just Lucas. Once he was sure that no one was around to chew him up for messing with Lucas, Duncan inched closer to him and dropped his hands from touching any part of the boy for just a few moments, his next move being in the process of being planned. He just simply placed a hand on his leg, leaning forward and looking him in the eye with not much hostility in his gaze or grip on the kid's leg. Actually, he was touching him pretty gently and his gaze was pretty lazy. "Look... I don't want to have to hurt you for lyin, just be tellin' me the truth... 'cause if I find out otherwise, it won't be pretty."

[LUCAS JAMES YOUNG]

[/color]ucas was completely stiff and frozen in his seat, he was probably shaking too, he couldn’t really tell. His focus was all over the place, so many thoughts were rushing through his mind, all of the things he was scared of Duncan doing to him. Duncan looked as if his mind was already made, he truly believed Lucas was the one that told on him, and Lucas didn’t have it in him to continue on trying to convince him that it wasn’t even him. He was so scared, the fear in his face was heartbreaking to some, he could almost feel an anxiety attack coming on, but he tried his best to control it. He breathed slowly as Duncan’s words sunk in, with each curse word coming out of his mouth Lucas gave a small flinch. He hated when people cursed his way, it just made them much scarier and superior to him. It always made him feel like with just their words, they could destroy him, which is why David had such an impact on Lucas. David was always cursing at him, which only made Lucas’ fear of him grow excessively. Lucas wasn’t sure what he could say to convince Duncan that he didn’t do it, the only conclusion he was coming to was to just cry or let Duncan just beat him up.

He looked down at his hands; his fingers were starting to fiddle with one another. His breathing had gotten back to normal, thank god; the last thing he wanted was to have an attack here in front of Duncan. He was 110% sure the guy would just point and laugh probably yelling out ‘freak’ the entire time. Lucas slowly brought his gaze back up to look back at Duncan, the expression on his face was of caution. Before another word was exchanged Duncan had reached up and touched his face, at first Lucas flinched expecting a punch to his jaw, but no, it was just a gentle touch. What was going on? Lucas pulled his face away at first, but decided to stay in place, assuming that he’d only be overpowered anyways. Lucas wasn’t sure of what to make of this scene, the glare had remained on his opponents face, so of course Lucas was left in confusion. Was Duncan just searching for the right spot to hit Lucas? Lucas could only hope that Duncan would make it quick and painless.

Duncan’s hand slowly left Lucas’ face and made its way to a strand of his hair, twirling it, Lucas knew that Duncan was messing with him now. There wasn’t much Lucas could do but let him. Lucas was very submissive and passive aggressive so he just sat and let Duncan do what he wanted for now, hoping he wouldn’t do much. Did you really no tell on me and did Gage?, the level and tone of his voice definitely calmed Lucas a tad bit, but not enough to feel comfortable. Lucas gulped hard, still shaking a little, wishing that Duncan wasn’t touching him. It was bad enough how intimidating Duncan’s persona was; did he really have to be showing physical contact? Lucas nodded slowly, ”I s-swear…. I didn’t… Gage just knew you’d come back after you p-punched him…”[/color], he said scared for his life. Lucas could feel his eye balls shaking in his sockets, his eyes wanted to cry, but he wouldn’t let them. He was such a wuss and he knew it, he could only be thankful that Jasey wasn’t around to see him in this state. He would be so embarrassed and ashamed if she were around, he probably wouldn’t be able to show his face again to her.

Lucas wanted to look around so bad, but he knew Duncan would only assume he was looking for someone to rescue him, which he actually would be doing. Where in the hell was Dylan? He was always around when Lucas was in need of him, it was like he had this mental alarm that went off whenever Lucas was in danger. But no, the mental alarm seemed to not be working right now, which definitely disappointed Lucas and brought more fear within him. Before the two could say any more Duncan finally dropped his hand, Lucas let out a small sigh of relief hoping that this was the end of this conversation. But no it wasn’t, Duncan had managed to relocate his hand to Lucas’ leg, which made Lucas cringe once more. He slowly realized that the grip wasn’t tight at all, he stared at Duncan’s hand for a second, feeling his leg shake a little, but stopped it before Duncan assumed Lucas was trying to shake off his hand. Lucas looked slowly back up at Duncan as he felt him lean in to him a bit, the glare wasn’t there anymore, the expression on his face was actually softer than it was seconds before, almost lazy-like. Lucas nodded at Duncan’s words slowly, ”I’m not l-lying…”[/color], he shook his head slowly, the fear still in his eyes. ”Why would I lie to you? That would be like... committing s-suicide”[/color], he said being honest, but hoping Duncan wouldn’t be offended. If anything Duncan should have felt honored to be feared, both musicians knew who would win in a physical fight, that was nothing more than quite obvious. ”I s-swear…”[/color], he said quietly, keeping eye contact with Duncan but only out of fear, searching his eyes for something that could possibly convince him that he would survive this encounter.

As Duncan awaited a response, his opinion began to change again. Even if Lucas did seem like the one to get scared and go tell someone to him, he also seemed like one who would give up in saying that he didn't do it after the first time. Also, like Lucas soon stated amongst other things, ”Why would I lie to you? That would be like... committing s-suicide” He also displayed a large amount of fear and in a way, that itself was convincing. It may not have been with other people, but Duncan had dealt with this type of person before, and they probably wouldn't go out of their way to lie in such a 'dangerous' position. Duncan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at the statement Lucas gave about it being like committing suicide, was he really that frightening for someone to think that? He released his grip on Lucas's leg and put his hands on his own knees, know looking as if he were contemplating what to do next. He considered everything Lucas said and worked out a deal in his head, as well as things he'd leave Lucas with. He didn't plan on staying much longer but he wanted to mess with him just a tad more, maybe just to freak him out. Even if Duncan had not been suspicious of the boy, he probably would have messed with him regardless.

Duncan let out a sigh, nodding and saying "Alright, I only semi-believe you..." It burned his tongue to say it, having the need to blame someone for this something other than himself. He didn't blame himself for these things, no, that wasn't how Duncan James worked. It was never his fault unless he felt bad about it, which, he did not. He wasn't going to just leave it at that but he was preparing himself to leave the situation he had created now, having the target in mind. The only bad thing about Gage being the new target was that he had heard of him leaving the band he was in, plus, anna might just kill him if he tried anything funny with the stupid Gage kid again. He almost chuckled at the thought of Gage having left the band, did this mean that whole band was full of wussies? You know, apart from Crazy Casey... he loved that girl like a best friend. Hell, without her, david and him probably wouldn't have accomplished the awesome prank they pulled off!



"Hopefully what you're saying now is true..." He left a bit of suspense off in his tone, you wouldn't be able to tell what he'd do next unless you knew all the moves he did. He gave off a hint that it wasn't going to be painful with almost playful grin, but that didn't mean Lucas would like it. Actually, Duncan couldn't tell if Lucas would like it or not, but he really doubted it. Not many people on tour liked those of the same gender. His hand found it's way back to Lucas' face, just as gentle as before, and he leaned forward once more. He didn't push his lips against Lucas's for very long, it was actually like a two second peck. He stood up and took his hand back, shoving it in his right pocket and smirking down at him, "Cuz.. you're cute, be-be. I don't wanna hurt you.. but i will if i need to." With that he pivoted on his heel and started in the other direction, walking away proud of himself. He stopped in his tracks, turning around to say one last thing to little Lucas. "OH, don't tell David I did that to you, kay? I'll take care of my bragging by myself... afterall, I got to kiss the legendary Lucas." Duncan didn't wait for a response before turning around and really leaving, he knew that Lucas would be too scared to even dare say anything to David, like he'd say anything to David at all anyway.

[LUCAS JAMES YOUNG]

[/color]ucas sat there wanting to fast forward the next few minutes, this is how he always felt when David was around, but for some reason with Duncan right now it was ten times worse. Maybe it was the suspense that Duncan gave off? Lucas never knew what he was going to do next, at least David just got it over with and shoved Lucas whenever he felt like it. But Duncan? No, it was like he wanted Lucas to freak out, and wanted to surprise Lucas with his actions. Duncan was indeed a scary guy, the multiple tattoos just added to his scariness. His deep voice and accent didn’t help much either, that just made him more intimidating for some reason, maybe because he was foreign? Duncan had dropped his hand and now seemed to be contemplating something… Lucas could only hope that Duncan believed him. Duncan’s next words confirmed those wonders though, so, Duncan semi-believed him. That was something, right? Lucas bit his lip nervously, nodding at Duncan’s following words, because what Lucas was saying was exactly true. Lucas didn’t tell, it was just quite obvious who had done it.

Lucas didn’t like the suspense that Duncan was giving off, it made his stomach numb for some reason. Lucas had no idea how on earth he was going to get out of this one, he could only pray it would all be over soon. Lucas couldn’t remove his eyes from Duncan, he felt like he had to watch him in order to be prepared for what was next to come. He had never encountered Duncan too many times before, at least with David, he knew what to expect a majority of the time. Duncan was grinning which made Lucas worried for some odd reason, his next actions couldn’t be good. Duncan managed to touch Lucas’ face again and started to lean in, Lucas’ eyes were of confusion and fear. He pressed his lips to Lucas’ , it didn’t last long, but the short time period seemed forever to Lucas. Sure, Lucas had thought of guys once in a blue moon, but not scary guys like Duncan. Especially lately, Lucas’ eyes had only been on and for Jasey, not that she knew about it really.

Lucas closed his eyes tightly, hoping it would just be over soon, he wanted to cry right now wishing he had the courage to just push Duncan away. But no, Lucas had no back bone, he had to submit to anything any bully did to him. This is how it always worked with him, ever since 1st grade really. When Duncan moved away from him, Lucas slowly opened his eyes, hoping the torture would end there. He wanted to definitely cry now, he felt like he was taking advantage of a bit. Duncan had violated Lucas’ personal space and truthfully, Lucas couldn’t handle any more. He wanted Duncan to leave already and leave him alone for ever. Cuz..you’re cute, be-be. I don’t wanna hurt you.. but I will if I need to, most of the time when Lucas was given a compliment, a blush automatically rushed to his face. But this time? No way. This compliment was followed with a death threat and it was from a person Lucas didn’t want to be around anymore.

Duncan started to walk away, but Lucas wasn’t convinced yet, he had to see him gone to really believe it. With that, Duncan turned back around, making Lucas tense up even more. Wasn’t he done yet? He nodded, Lucas didn’t plan on talking to David at all actually, hell no, he wouldn’t mention this. When David came around, Lucas didn’t really do much talking to be honest. David took care of all that, added a few shoves and walked away. Lucas always just sat there and took it all, there wasn’t anything he could do. afterall, I got to kiss the legendary Lucas, those words made Lucas cringe, had he really been robbed of his first kiss? The thought made Lucas’ tears build up, his eyes were watery now, if he blinked or sighed they’d definitely begin to fall. He looked around fearfully, hoping no one saw any of it. His hands were so uncoordinated; he didn’t know what to do with them. He wiped his eyes preventing the tears from falling and managed to get himself up. He wasn’t scared anymore, he was just… hurt immensely. He started to power walk out of the stage area and headed straight for his bus, he just wanted to crawl into his bunk sheets and lay in his bed for a few hours.
