Shout At The Devil! [Halloween Party] Band members and friends invited

[bangingthe_hellouttayou]

Zack had decided that he wanted to do something for Halloween now that he'd gotten his new costume and being a Spider-Man fan he'd gone for a Spider-Punk costume straight from his comics. He'd gotten it at a local comic store down on the Strip and couldn't wait to show Damien because he knew the Dog didn't have comics or anything fun back in Hunger City. Zack now pleased that he'd arranged a Halloween Party for the band members, their friends and family to attend inside the communal area of the apartments. It was the biggest space and there was a bar all stocked up with spooky drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike.

It would be a blast!

There were even spooky snacks with crisps and chips shaped like bats, ghosts and pumpkins. There were even actual pumpkins on a table for those who wished to carve a pumpkin alone or with friends. Zack had tried to make it accessible for all, those who wished to party and get drunk and those who wanted to do non-boozy activities too.

As for costumes---they were optional but preferred.

"Ok, I think that's it. Everyone should be arriving soon."

Zack looking around the room and hoping everyone would like what he had set-up with help from some of the others of course.

"Jerry's told me everything."

Sven just sighed and ran a hand through his blond hair. Fuck. How was Davy doing? Was he in any state to see the Swede? If he wasn't then Sven would approach the boy another time but he at least wanted to try now.

"I'm sorry---fuck, I'm sorry for all of you. What you went though."

It was all the Swede could say as he leant forward and hugged Sam because the drummer deserved a hug too.

Sam looked down but he's grateful for the hug and clings to the bigger, well more muscular, Swede.

"Davy's...." Sam glanced back at the door to the balcony. "..He's having a hard time." What else could he say to Sven? "I don't know."

Sam had seen Davy upset but the way he was standing on the balcony, silent, starting, arms wrapped around himself was unnerving to the drummer.

[nordlig_pojke]

"I don't blame him. He's got balls of steel going to Martyn and opening up about all of this. The memories----must be like living fucking nightmares."

Sven couldn't even imagine what the boy was going through but wanted to help. Just be there for him. What else could he do? Poor Sam must have nightmares over the bastard who assaulted Davy too.

"Can I see him? Does he want my company because I just want to be close to him right now."

[sunnycymbals]

Sam bit his lip because Davy confided in him a lot, about everything. "He's been remembering all the things that he didn't before."

Sam shrugged as he pulled away from Sven. "He shoved me away and went out there." Sam moved away knowing Sven was probably going to head out on the balcony to try and talk to Davy.

[nordlig_pojke]

"I know."

Sven didn't have any other words because he couldn't speak about what he didn't see, only what Jerry had told him. This was now about helping the band heal past what shit this bastard did to everyone. To poor Davy.

"Let me see if I can get close to him."

The Swede wanted to try as he slipped past Sam and approached the balcony slowly, not wanting to scare Davy off.

"Sweets?"

[princesscharm]

Sam nodded and hoped that Sven had better luck.

Davy didn't want to hear Sven's voice and pulled his arms tighter to himself.

"Go away." Davy's voice is rough from crying and broken sounding. He wanted to be left alone. The last person he wanted to see right now when he was reliving all the violation. "I want to be alone."

[nordlig_pojke]

The way Davy held his arms around his body caused Sven to flinch a little because he could see how much the boy was hurting on the outside just by his body language. But, what about inside? The Swede couldn't even imagine...

"I love you."

Sven would give Davy space if he so wanted but he wanted to at least try to get through to the boy.

[princesscharm]

Davy was hugging himself tightly and staring blankly at the skyline. The guitarist trying not to remember the things that were in his mind.

Sven's voice pulled his eyes over toward the Swede. There are a lot of emotions in that gaze, a lot that Sven probably has never seen, mostly shame. Davy felt a deep burden of being broken because of what happened. Shame that he couldn't be a normal boyfriend to Sven any longer because what happened. He's pushing the Swede away but he really needs comfort and unwilling to ask for it. After a moment his gaze falls to the ground and he pulls his arms in tighter. Everything felt so wrong right now.

[nordlig_pojke]

Sven knew words weren't much use right now as he slowly walked up behind Davy, sliding his arms around the younger man, pulling him against his body in a hug. It was all he could think of to get close to Davy because the boy must be feeling like shit right now.

"I'll never let you go."

The singer nuzzling against the back of Davy's dark hair, inhaling his shampoo and perfume scent.

[princesscharm]

At first Davy tried to pull away, albeit weakly.

"Maybe you should." Davy didn't want Sven to go but with all the emotions swirling inside he thought the man he loved might be better off with someone else. Someone who wasn't broken. Though the struggle soon faded and Davy relented to being hugged from behind. That didn't last for long before he turned around and started to cry. It isn't just tears but the ugly sort of crying that left someone coughing and having a hard time breathing. There was too much hurt and worry right now, so much that Davy couldn't keep it at bay.
