For Nexus prompt: 1. "You could stand to be the responsible one, for once."
Joe was not responsible in the least as he was now hearing Weird yelling from outside his hotel room about the latest escapade from him and Aarne. What the hell was responsibility anyway? The bassist and his Finnish lover had just somehow filled the whole hotel corridor with copious amounts of bubbles. Lots of bubbles. Everywhere. They were overflowing from their bathroom and had entirely filled their bedroom too. The real story how this happened?
Lots of strawberry scented bubble bath. Loads of it which had been brought in by Billy and Rik no doubt. They were in on the prank too which had now escalated out of proportion. Joe giggling loudly with the bubbles up to his knees as he stood in the corridor hearing Weird yell at Aarne. The Fin just standing there blowing bubbles at the bassist to try to calm him down. Joe now diving into the bubbly mess headfirst, poking his head up as he went to greet his Fin.
"What's all the noise? It's only a few bubbles, Weird. Don't be such a grandpa! This is fun!"
Joe grabbed some bubbles and blew them into the other bassist's face because it was a riot. Billy was now grabbing a load of bubbles and shoving them onto Rik's head. Of course. Where was poor Bonne during all of this? Hopefully the rat was nice and safe away from the sea of scented bubbles. Jesus, what would Tom say about all of this? He'd shout louder than Weird that was for sure. Joe and Aarne's prank wouldn't go down well with Stardust's old man that was for sure. How were they to get rid of all the bubbles?
"Room service can fix all of this. They've got cleaners. It's all cool."
Yeah. All cool. Right. Weird just rolled his eyes and shut his hotel door, fed up of the irresponsible attitude of Joe and Aarne. Bloody crazy the both of them. Then, an idea entered the drunk and high bassist's head.
"BUBBLE PARTY! We could all bubble surf. Let's do this!"
Of course. Joe giggled and yanked on Aarne's hand, pulling him into a large pile of bubbles and laughing. This wouldn't end well of course because it was 2am in the morning and some were trying to sleep. Mick Ronno being one of them. He had drunk too much Scandinavian booze the day before and was hungover like hell. The door swung open and immediately the blond guitarist's legs got engulfed in bubbles.
"What the bloody hell? Hey---Romeo and Juliet? Keep it down will you I'm trying to sleep with a sore head!"
Bubbles? Whatever next. Groaning and out of it, Mick just went back inside his room and went back to bed. The bubbles be damned. Joe ran up to Mick and Ziggy's room, knocking on the door like a crazy person, laughing and totally having fun in his own way. Responsibility? What was that again?

The Brit had no words as he rubbed the back of his elbow as he had landed on it hard when he was thrown. The driver needed to get laid or something. He needed to chill out! Fuck. Not even getting up, Joe sat in the bubbles still somewhat shocked at Robert's reaction to his teasing. He immediately felt bad and knew he'd have to try and make it up to the old guy somehow.

The calm was back but Robert hoped the lesson was learned. He asked for very few things from the bands and those things important enough to ask for, he hoped now they would be respected.

That wasn't true. He'd been thrown by Robert but Joe was feeling a little sheepish to say anything like that in front of Aarne. He felt like a fool but at least the driver hadn't just walked away and thrown anyone else. Joe knew not to push the old guy too far now at least.
"Sorry. I mean---I wasn't trying to piss you off or anything."
The bassist pushed some bubbles from his face while Robert examined his elbow.

"I'm not pissed but some of you need to learn when you should respect other people." Robert brushed away the rest of the bubbles from the bassist's face. "Now off with you to play in the bubbles with your boy before Tom comes out and sees this mess."
Robert was shocked and got riled over his wishes not being respected. Tom was going to see this and lose his mind. Maybe he would sleep all night and miss the disaster in the hall.

Date: 2021-08-31 05:29 pm (UTC)From:Joe didn't know what else to say so shrugged and then went to give Robert a brief hug to try and show how sorry he was. The bassist wasn't used to upsetting people he knew so didn't really know how to deal with such a situation. The old guy was genuinely pissed so Joe wanted to make things right again.
"If Tom sees this shit show he might blow his fucking top. Ah well---at least you're cooler than him."
The bassist blew a kiss at Robert before screaming loudly and jumping over to grab hold of his Fin, kissing him on the lips and giggling. His elbow all but forgotten about.

Joe then nibbling on Aarne's ear.

Date: 2021-09-02 01:24 am (UTC)From:He turns to go get dressed and find Tom. One of the other reasonable band members would call to have it cleaned up.
Aarne was glad to have Joe back and pulled him down into the sea of bubbles to mess around, giggling like a crazy person.
