Rock-n-Royal

“Sooo is he hot or what?” Nikki teased Dani as she seemed to be like a deer caught in the headlights as she gazed up at the stage. By now the concert was in full force and music thundered all around them. The crowd was a wild one as the people cheered and sang along around them. Nikki rocked out to Ashley’s insane bass lines as she nudged Dani each time Andy came walking by her.

Dani was thankful the darkness of the venue could hide her blush as her roommate as her about Andy. “He’s quite handsome. But it’s his voice that is the most intriguing. He’s got the voice of an angel…or a male siren.” She leaned in close so Nikki could hear her. All through the show Dani found herself drawn to Andy and couldn’t take her eyes off him. It wasn’t only his voice that was strong but his songs as well. They were lyrically genius and they reached her on a level that no one else could. For the first time in her life she felt as if someone understood her.

“Handsome?” Nikki raised her eyebrows. “Honey, Chris Evans is handsome. Andy Biersack is fucking hot as hell.”

Before Dani could say anything Andy broke into Rebel Yell and he was in a flirty mood. She was smirking as she looked up at him. The way he bounced from each end of the stage made him the perfect frontman as he never left anyone one out. Her eyes were focused on him and he knew it. He played to an audience of one and the cocky sex god was in full control tonight.

Andy stared down at Dani as he performed. He had no idea why this woman was affecting him this way tonight. He had met thousands of fans during his time with BVB and no one had affected him during the meet and greets like this woman had so far. Maybe it was her accent that affected him. It was light and made him smile. Or maybe it was her eye? They were a rich brown and looked like melted chocolate. When she looked at him backstage it was as if she was seeing Andrew Biersack and not the lead singer of the Black Veil Brides. It had been a long time since anyone took the time to see the real him.

He walked over to Jinx and he put his arm on his shoulder as the song ended. Andy had a huge smirk on his face as Jinx said something and they both laughed. They were goofing off as Jinx nudged Andy and then nodded to Dani. Andy found himself smirking. He licked his lips as he walked to the front of the stage. Bringing the mic to his lips, Andy spoke to the crowd. “Are we having a fucking party or what?” He laughed. Jinx clapped him on the shoulder. The crowd was going wild and Andy raised his arms as he laughed.

Dani was amazed how well Andy grabbed the crowd’s attention and kept it. They loved him and would do anything for him. He spoke to them as a regular person and spoke as if he were one of them. No wonder so many women wanted him. He was the leader among them. She snorted. Her countrymen could learn a thing or two from Andy.

It was then that Andy burst into singing Days Are Numbered and the energy he exuberated had Dani smiling from ear to ear. The song made her think of her own life and her life within the palace. She didn’t want to sit on a throne and be a figurehead. She wanted to do something with her life. She loved her people but she needed a life of her own.

While he was singing Andy made eye contact with his bodyguard, Yanni, who was standing near the side of the stage. He then motioned with his head towards Dani and Nikki. Yanni looked over and saw them, and then he smirked. He nodded and gave Andy a thumbs up. As he continued to finish the song. Now he really couldn’t wait until after the show.

“Come this way. Andy told me to bring you both to the bus.” Yanni led both women back through the corridors of the venue to the back parking lot where the BVB was parked. They brushed past the roadies that were already packing up for the departure shortly. The band was going to hit the road tomorrow for their next gig and everything had to run efficiently.

“I thought our meet and greet was before the show?” Nikki asked the bodyguard as she trailed behind him. “Not that I’m complaining.” She laughed.

“It was but I was told to bring you both to the bus and I just work here.” Yanni chuckled. They reached the back of the venue and he pushed the double doors open and ushered the women outside. They walked across the parking lot towards the bus.

“Why does Andy want to see us?” Dani whispered to Nikki. It made her a bit nervous that the lead singer wanted to see her again. Did he recognize her? Did he know who she really was? She wasn’t really that recognizable in America. She was more recognized in Europe but only as a celebrity. Yes she was royalty but her kingdom wasn’t as big as some of the countries of Europe. Would Andy really know?

They approached the bus and Yanni pushed the doors open and called out. “You boys better be decent because there are actual ladies coming on the bus.”

“Ya hear that Ashley? That means get your pants on and cover your ass!” Jinx yelled out.

Nikki blushed as she laughed, burying her face in Dani’s neck. Dani rolled her eyes as she nudged her roommate off her. “You know bloody well you’re dying to see that.” She whispered to her.

“Fuck guys behave yourselves!” Andy called out as he walked ahead and met them at the door. “Hey ladies. I’m glad you got my message. Welcome to the bus. Come on in.” He winked at Yanni.

Dani looked up and gave Andy a shy smile, which was rare for her. Back home she was bold and vivacious. Hell she was known as the troublemaker which landed her in this predicament. But suddenly around this man she was suddenly shy. “I was wondering why we were being dragged back here.” She teased.

Reaching down, Andy took her hand and led her back to where the rest of the band was. “I just wanted to get to know you better.” He turned to give her a full smile.

As soon as the rest of the guys saw Nikki and Dani they broke out into small cheers and smiles. “Hey sexy ladies.” Ashley moved over so Nikki could sit next to him. She fought a blush as she tried to breathe. It was one thing seeing her favorite rockstar in concert, but being on their bus was something totally new. “Hey Ashley!” She laughed.

“So what’s a hot European chick like you doing in America?” CC looked over to Dani.

Andy’s head whipped around and he glared at him. His eyes narrowed and CC smirked. Andy then turned to look at Dani and he gave her a soft smile. “I think what he means is are you going to college or do you work here?”

Giving CC a smirk of her own, Dani chuckled. “I’m attending uni here. I’m studying political science.”

“Damn! A chick with brains!” Jake whistled.

“Women don’t like to be referred to as chicks all the time Jake.” Jinx rolled his eyes and sighed. “Forgive him, he has no manners.” He rolled his shoulders, and winced a bit.

Dani laughed as she waved her hand. “That’s ok. I’ve been called worse back home. But then I’m used to being objectified.”

“That’s fucking horrible!” Andy blurted out. “Don’t men in your country have any respect? I thought the English were all about respect and dignity?”

At first Dani was going to rattle off about Calathenian men then she remembered she was posing as a Brit. So she changed the conversation back to Andy. “Is it any different than the women objectifying you when you wear those skinny jeans that show off that ass of yours? I mean let’s face it, it is a nice ass.” She said without thinking. Once again her mouth got the best of her.

All the guys started to laugh at the same time as Andy started to smirk while his eyes lit up. He leaned closer to Dani as he licked his lips. “You think I have a nice ass?” There was a bit of a challenge in his voice.

Arching her eyebrows, Dani leaned forward as she let a smile play upon her lips. “Mayyybbbbee.” She winked as she leaned back in her seat. When Andy fought a blush she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Holy shit!” Jake high fived Jinx. “Someone actually made Andy blush.” He reached out and gave Dani a high fived as well. “Nice one!”

Dani smirked and then playfully took a bow. “Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week.” She teased. The more she hung out with the guys, the more her natural personality was coming out. She felt more confident and more comfortable with them. They were really a great bunch of guys.

Just then the door opened and the BVB tour manager, Jon, walked on. “Hey guys I heard there was a party on board. You realize that we’re leaving tomorrow right?”

“Hey Jon. Come and meet Dani and Nikki!” Jinx called out. He went to raise his arm but then he winced again.

“So these are the women who are making a big impression back here?” Jon teased. He walked back towards the group. He smiled at the women. “Hey ladies, I’m the one who keeps these guys in line.” He shook each of their hands. “Pleasure to meet you.” That’s when he noticed Jinx wincing. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Please tell me you’re not hurt?”

Jinx frowned. “I’m fine. It’s just…a tweak. My arm is just sore.” He went to lift it and he groaned.

Dani’s eyes narrowed. “Do you guys get therapeutic massages after gigs? I mean you’re using muscles repeatedly and those will tend to get sore and even sprained sometimes.”

Jinx stared at her and opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Finally he spoke. “Um..we work out. We try to tone up and keep in shape.”

She sighed. “Well that’s great and all but you also need to take care of the muscles after you use them. Just like Andy needs to rest his voice after every show, the rest of you should take care of your bodies.”

Looking over at her Jon pointed. “Wait, weren’t you the one who helped Joe earlier today? You’re the nurse right?”

“Well I’ve had nurses training.” Dani explained. “There were circumstances where I graduated but I wasn’t able to get the actual piece of paper.” She laughed nervously. The last thing she needed was for them to know the reason why she didn’t get the degree. Running away to complete nursing school because you were angry with your kingdom wasn’t a good reason according to the Parliament. “But I do know first responder training and yes, I do know basic nursing.”

“You know it might not be a bad idea to have a nurse on the road with you guys.” Jon rubbed his chin.

“Come on Jon, we’re fine.” CC gave him a pointed look.

“Oh really?” Jon raised his eyebrows. “Do I have to mention the tours where Andy broke his ribs…or his nose—“

“You—WHAT?” Dani’s head whipped around to look at Andy. “You know singing isn’t a full contact sport, right?”

When the group burst into full laughter, Andy ran his fingers through his hair as he grinned. “But what’s the fun if you can’t go full contact?” He wiggled his eyebrows.

Dani groaned as she let her head fall back on the couch where she sat. “Oh bloody hell!” She covered her face with her hands.

“Seriously it would help to have a nurse on tour.” Jon pointed out.

Just then Jinx groaned and Dani threw up her hands. She got up off the couch and walked behind him. She swept his long dark hair off his neck. “Where does it hurt?” She asked him.

“On my right shoulder.” He looked up over his shoulder at her.

Taking a deep breath, Dani used her small hands to start to massage the bigger man’s large muscles. She could feel the tension there and a huge knot right on his shoulder blade. “Good god Jinx! You are in need of daily massages. How you play guitar and violin daily and be in this much pain is beyond me.” She shook her head.

Andy watched Dani touch Jinx and instantly he felt jealous. He knew it was only a massage to help his friend relief the pain his was feeling but he wondered what it would feel like to have her hands on him. He wanted her hands on his body, his chest, as she caressed it.

Jinx was in heaven as he felt Dani’s hands on him. It was far from sexual as he felt the relief from the pain he was feeling. “Fuck that feels good.” His head hung forward. When she worked the knot in his back with the palm of her hand, he let out a deep breath. “Your hands are magic.” He breathed.

“Aren’t her hands incredible?” Nikki asked. “She gives me massages when my back tightens up.” She nodded.

“Hey Dani how would you like a job?” Jon asked her.

“What?” Dani asked in shock. Her hands froze on Jinx. “Are you serious?”

“Dude!” Jinx growled. “Don’t bug her now. She’s almost got the knots out of my back. Bug her when she’s done!”

Dani laughed as she continued to rub and work on Jinx. “Sorry.” She moved the heels of her palms along his shoulder blade and his arm. She could feel the muscles loosening up and she smiled. “You need a hot shower when I’m done.” When Jinx opened his mouth, she cut him off. “Ask me to join you and I’m going to put the knots back in. Trust me, I know how.”

Andy burst out laughing and pointed at Jinx. “I like her! She’s feisty.”

Winking at Andy, Dani playfully blew him a kiss. “Thank you.” Then she looked at Jon. “Were you serious about the whole job thing?”

“Of course. I mean these boys need to be in tip top shape. Not only can you help keep them that way but any minor injury that comes up you’d be able to help them with. I’d feel safer and I know their manager would feel safer.” Jon told her.

As she finished up with Jinx, Dani stepped away from him. “There you go. Shower time big boy.”

Standing up, Jinx gave her a kiss on the cheek. “You’re an angel. Thank you princess.”

Dani suddenly stiffened at the nickname but she did her best to keep the smile on her face. She knew that Jinx had no idea who she really was but it cut awfully close to home. “You’re welcome.” Then she turned to Jon. “Can—can I think about it? Maybe call your tomorrow morning with my decision?”

“Of course. We’re leaving town around 9 A.M so if you could reach me before then it would be help. That way we can stop at your place and pick you up.” Jon told her.

“Here why don’t you let me give you my phone number so you can call me and I’ll just tell Jon?” Andy offered.

Digging in her purse, Dani pulled out her cell phone and handed it to Andy. “Here you go.” She smirked. She watched as he put his phone number in her contacts. When he handed it back to her she had to smile as he listed himself as Sexy Ass. “Yes you are.” She laughed.

“Unfortunately boys it’s that time. You need to get back to the hotel.” Jon told them. When they all groaned he sighed. “Yeah yeah I’m the bad guy. I know.”

Dani and Nikki stood up and they took turns hugging the guys. Ashley took a little bit longer to hug Nikki as he whispered something to her and that caused her to blush. Dani looked up to see Andy pulling her close. “Tell me you’re going to think about becoming our personal nurse?” He asked.

“Did you really hurt yourself that badly?” She looked up at him. When he didn’t answer, she sighed. “Andy?” Watching him nod, she reached up and ruffled his hair. “I’m thinking maybe I should to keep you from falling off the stage.”

“Too late.” Came the reply.

Dani groaned as she let her head fall against his shoulder. She felt two arms wrap around her as Andy hugged her. For some reason she wrapped her arms around his body and returned the hug. Taking a deep breath she basked in the intoxicating aroma that was all Andy. “I’ll think about it.” She whispered.

“Say yes.” Andy whispered back.

“I just met you.” Dani teased.

“Say yes.” Andy pulled back and smirked at her.

Pulling back, Dani changed her mind as she leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll think about it. Goodnight Andy.” She caressed his cheek as she turned and walked away and off the bus.

Notes

I'm sorry if this chapter is short. It's kind of a filler chapter but its a stepping stone to get Andy and Dani to break the ice. Yes, Dani actually studied nursing. It's common for Royals to do things such as nursing or military. Dani is a free spirit and in her past if it angered her family, she did it.
