"Makes sense to date a chick if all the men around you were dick bags. I've dated girls and blokes before."
Viktor shrugged and didn't mind telling her about his past love life, even if it was a pile of crap must of the time. Punk love didn't last long since he was always on the move with the gang and no one stayed very long. It was mostly a few one night stands here and there.
"I'm not a pussy, sweet cheeks. I just don't want Weird thinking I'm chatting up his girl and giving you drink."
Underneath all the bullish behaviour was a man with values and knew that flirting with another bloke's girl was not cool. Gloria belonged to Weird and everyone knew this. It was just if someone walked in the room and saw them drinking and being over friendly then it could turn to shit. He preferred rougher people though and Gloria probably knew this.
Grabbing the bottle, Viktor necked a few gulps and wiped his mouth. He nodded to the Greaser reference since he'd heard about the bike gangs over in the States. It was big there in the 50's and was to this very day. The UK borrowed some of that culture and this is why Viktor was in a bike gang. The badass attitudes and fuck the society thing.
"Most people I dated didn't stay that long. That, or because I was spending too much time locked up inside a prison cell each night. Fucking bastards. It was a casual fuck here and there pretty much."
"I think most of you have." She meant the bands. Almost all of them seemed sexually open to many types of people. It was a good group to be around because it felt freeing.
She patted Viktor's leg playfully while getting into her med kit. "The idea that a man and a woman can't be friends without someone trying to have sex is one of the stereotypes I've learned to hate. We should be able to talk and share a drink as friends. If Weird or anyone else says anything that is their lack of trust in who we are and nothing about what we are doing."
That was more honesty as she got out a needle. "I'm going to give you an injection to help prevent swelling. I can give you another one if you have problems before a performance."
She sympathized with the punk and his plight. "I'm sure you'll find someone when it's right. I waited so long that people thought I was going to be a spinster."
Her natural tendencies were to encourage the people around her and she smiles while drawing the medication for Viktor's ankle. "I think you already have someone in mind that you're interested in."
"I guess you're right. Not that I would try and chat you up because that's fucking stupid."
He won't mention anything about him liking Vars because it was a secret in his eyes, even if most, if not all, the hotel knew about the two punks being together. How could everyone not when they went around fighting and being aggressively hot with one another? It was just their way.
"Oh yeah? Who do you think I'm into, love?"
Viktor was curious as to how much Gloria knew. Did she know about Vars? The punks had only met each other for a few weeks but already the Brit had found an interest in him. He looked down at his ankle and moved it a little. If he had to have an injection then so be it. The singer just had to be able to perform.
"Then we can share a drink ans not worry." Gloria had no issue being friends with Viktor, even knowing he just had a fight. Sometimes that was the only way things could be settled.
Drawing some of the anti-inflammatory she giggled. "The other punk. You two harass each other and I've seen how he looks at you."
She was as gentle as she could be giving the injection but it would probably hurt given the swelling. "You both check each other out all the time. I've seen you staring at him too when he's sitting by himself drinking."
"Of course we can. Fuck everyone else who wants to judge us. Anyone who does I'll deck them in and give them a black eye."
Viktor didn't like being made fun of and anyone who tried? Usually got beaten up badly or set on fire. Sometimes both. He was quite a violent person when vulnerable. Much like a cornered angry bear waiting to swipe someone with lethal claws and sharp teeth. He felt himself blush a little as he wiped at his face and sighed.
"Yeah? That obvious is it? Fuck. I think he's a badass punk and he's got attitude. Not bad looking either."
Of course Viktor didn't want to mention he found Vars incredibly hot and sexy since it was private to him. The man just didn't like admitting feelings about others, especially not other masculine men.
"Then pour us some drinks." She smiles at Viktor totally willing to do shots with him.
Gloria smirked and looked down to hide it when she saw that blush on the punk. Calling attention to it wasn't the answer but it was remarkably charming to see on someone who acted so impervious.
"I've seen you look him up like a guy does to a woman who has a perfect dress on." She's playful in tone, not overly serious but it was very obvious to Gloria.
Gloria blushed now because of what she was about to say. "I think you make him...ummm.... uncomfortable when he sits around watching you get boisterous and troublemaking."
There's no judgement to what he does, only what she's seen from the punk. "I think he finds you attractive in general, just how he looks at you."
Viktor smirked as he poured Gloria out a large glass of vodka, passing it to her as he continued drinking out of the bottle as was his way. As for shots? The punk was more into doing mouthfuls a lot like Joe with his bottles of Jack. Glasses were for girls but the punk knew Gloria was far from the normal type of wilting violet that some girls were. She was strong and had guts. Viktor liked this.
"What? A dress? Are you taking the piss?"
He just stared at that. Fuck. Did he really? He just frowned and carried on drinking gulps of vodka, whilst wondering how everyone else viewed both him and Vars. It caused him to fiddle with the ends of his hair slightly. Was he embarrassed? Of course he was.
"We like to fight. Vars has a good punch and uses his bodyweight to shove me. I like getting him in a headlock and kneeing him in the guts. It's good fun."
This translates to "I love him and think he's hot."
She took a drink of vodka Viktor handed her and laughed quietly.
"You know what I mean." She teased. "You know how a man looks at a beautiful woman when she walks into the room where he can't look away? He just stares with a slack jaw and wide-eyed. You two do the same kind of thing when the other walks in the room."
His behavior only made her hold in laughter until her cheeks reddened while she knelt down to wrap his ankle.
"You could just say you like him." She can't hide the huge smile because she knew the talk from the men she ran with back home. "I can't blame you. He's got nice lips. I bet he's a good kisser."
It embarrassed her so much to say that but she was looking down at Viktor's ankle which made it easier to say. Viktor was always on someone else it only seemed fair to turn the tables, besides, she was curous if they were dating and just hiding it.
"I know what you mean, yeah. It's just I didn't know I looked at him like that. I'm not the only one who gives eyes to his bloke or girl. Ronno gives looks across the breakfast table to his girl and it looks like he wants to eat Ziggy instead of his cereal. The tarty drummer does the same to Hunter. Then Joe and his crazy Fin. Billy and his harp boy Dane too."
Everyone looked at their loved one differently and Viktor was often oblivious as to how his actions were portrayed through other people's eyes. He just thought of Vars as someone tough and hot. A buddy who liked to fight and was interested in fire too. Not as much as the Brit but he wasn't afraid to delve into hell with Viktor.
"Nice lips? To be honest I don't think we've even kissed yet. Biting and punching more. You reckon I should try to kiss him and see what happens?"
Viktor wondered about this because kissing seemed a bit pussy compared to the rough and tumble they'd been doing together. All the biting, shoving, punching and other macho stuff. Kissing though? It might feel nice. Who knew.
"He's yours?" She asks curiously because as far as she has seen they haven't interacted much yet outside of longing eyes and some harsh words, near scuffles. "He checks out your backside a lot."
She laughs over the glass before taking a drink.
"Everyone can see you find each other attractive. Do you want where that leads with him?" That was the logical question after what he had said.
"Mine? Well, he's my punk mate, yeah. If that's what you mean."
Viktor wasn't about to admit anything else to her, not now. The relationship was still very new and he was still testing it out, or testing Vars, to see if he would make a good boyfriend. Punk buddy? Lover sounded pussy. He shrugged at her comments and took a large slug of vodka.
"Yeah? Is that what people think? I don't give a shit what people think about who I like. None of their fucking business. No idea where it will lead but I like him."
This means he likes Vars but is too proud to admit it.
"I meant your boyfriend." She wasn't about to dance around the subject like the punk was but she could understand, maybe, the reluctance on some level. After all she had hid her relationship with Judith the same way.
"It's good you've found someone like you that you're mutually attracted to." She is not impressed with the attitude and half crosses her arms while drinking from the glass. "You do know that no one thinks less of either of you for thinking the other is attractive? I think they're more cheering for you to get together."
Especially the trashier ones. She had heard parts of conversations that were dirtier than being together.
The word "boyfriend" had Viktor staring at Gloria for a bit before snorting in amusement and taking a few large mouthfuls of booze. Was the punk his boyfriend? Punk buddy? Whatever it was Viktor liked it. He nodded slowly and then resigned himself to Gloria's words regarding their relationship since he couldn't argue.
"Yeah, it feels good. Someone who isn't afraid to get into a fight or act like a complete pussy. Vars is a strong bloke who's fucking handsome."
This was praise from the Brit would had gotten used to seeing and being around the Norwegian since their meeting at the bar.
She smiled behind the glass she was sipping from while watching Viktor's amusement.
"You're both good looking men." Gloria said with all seriousness. "So many punk girls are going to be in tears." She had to tease him a little over this because it was very charming to see such a tough man talk about love. It always came from such strange context.
"Thanks for saying so, love. If they are then so what? Vars is my bloke and they can weep over that fact."
Viktor didn't want anymore punk girls as lovers now that he had his strong Norwegian who was tough as nails and stubborn as a bull much like him. They were made for each other and Gloria could obviously see it. Everyone else could too. He gulped down some more vodka and wondered how she met her bloke.
"How did you and the bassist hook up? Was it at a Stardust concert?"
"I'm sure they will." She smirked and tried not to laugh. "I bet there will be some crying over you too."
She was beign complimentary but also teasing the punk as they drank together. She went over and sat on the bed next to him. Everyone who knew anything about the two would have agreed that they were meant for each other.
"It's complicated." Weren't all things though? "Ziggy and I have a mutual friend that mentioned his fear of hospitals and they introduced us. Ziggy invited me to join them on the tour and, the sneaky singer, set us up on a blind date."
He was right though that they had a similar temperament. It worked in the way Vars and Viktor worked. The personalities, wants and needs matched.
"Did you know you liked him when you met?" If they were going to drink and talk freely, that was a question she was curious about. While waiting she reached for the vodka bottle in his hand to refill her glass.
"He's afraid of hospitals? Don't blame him. Those things make me nervous and I'd only want to steal all the spirits from the cupboard to make firebombs with anyway. I take care of my own wounds out on the streets and always have done. Fuck hospitals."
That was Viktor's view of them anyway. Nothing would change anytime soon even with Gloria being the bands' nurse and medic. He just hated doctors wanting to stick things into you and pump you will pills and shit. The punk would rather deal with the pain alone and do his own first aid.
"Ziggy set you up on a blind date? That's decent of him. Stardust is a good bloke and Ronno is lucky to have him. Or her? I'm a bit confused but I think everyone calls him a bloke even if he's a girl."
Viktor shrugged. The same could be said for Aarne but Viktor knew Joe called his Fin a he. As for Vars? He was definitely a masculine male who was smoking hot with strong muscled arms. The Brit liked these.
"I don't know. Vars was strong I knew that much. Fucking good at smashing tables and punching. I liked that. We fought and I knew we were good for each other. Something like that."
She giggled at his stubborn attitude. "Good thing I'm more bullheaded than even you are."
It was said in good nature and a joke on her own life where she was always told her stubbornness was unlady-like.
"I didn't know what to expect really but I'm glad he did." Gloria doesn't mind explaining what is going on. "Well, Ziggy uses he but he likes to be called girlfriend or sister. I think it suits how he looks."
She had noticed that blended tendencies with several of the band and found it interesting and refreshing. Here, the rules of what was right for a man or a woman were blurred. That put Gloria at ease. She's really curious about the punks and their behavior.
"You value his strength most?" It's not that she wants to pry but openly curious. "I can understand that attraction."
"Makes sense. I've heard Ronno call him mate and love which confused me first of all. If they're happy then good for them. Vars I call Spiky since he's got hair like a fucking hedgehog. It suits him though."
Viktor liked the Norwegian's hair and had first called him Spiky when he first met him. The name just stuck. Swallowing down some more vodka the punk nodded. Vars was strong and this was the main draw for the singer. That and his aggressiveness and dominance.
"Yeah. He's strong as a bull and he can kick the shit out of anyone if he wanted to. This is something I like."
"I'm glad you found each other." She says seriously and pats his bicep. "You seem happier now than when we first met."
Downing her drink she smiles as she sets her glass aside. "I should let you rest but if anything bothers you let me know. I'll check on you before and after your shows too."
"Me too. I've just been dealing with shit in my life and Vars crashed landed on me. Literally."
In the best way possible of course. The way the punks bonded with their aggressiveness seemed almost alien to most but not to Viktor and Vars. This is how they loved each other and how punks bonded with one another through actions rather than words. The singer would have to endure pain but it would be worth it.
"Thanks for doing this, love. Weird is a lucky bloke to have you."

"Thanks for doing this, love. Weird is a lucky bloke to have you."
