American superstar chp. 2

American Superstar
Chapter. 2 (Paparazzi)

Richtofen got the stairs from his storage and tried to get an extra pillow and blanket for his "guest" but was just a tad short and couldn't reach. Getting on his toes he gave it another shot, not that he minded Dempsey sleeping in the cold like a dog. The stairs wobbled under him and panic took over the doctor, the stairs fell and he closed his eyes. "I gotcha" the sudden coldness of the fall was broken by warmth, he opened his eyes to meet blue ocean ones. "That was going to be a nasty fall there" Dempsey smiled.

Richtofen silently watched himself in Tank's arms, being held like a bride. He pushed back the urge to scream like a girl and just pushed Tank away. "LET GO OF ME"

"Oh come on doc, would it be any better if I let you fall?" The blond said as he picked up the pillows, they were old and dusty, and the blanket was still unopened maybe even new. Both of them sharing the colors of darkness, black, red, and darkish blue. "I'll get these, no need to bother yourself Shorty" Dempsey chuckled and Richtofen replied with a growl. "So where do you want me to drop it?" Dempsey asked as the Doctor led him back to the living room, the German pointed at the couch before walking off making no attempt to be friendly what so ever.

Dempsey shrugged and placed the pillows and blanket on the couch. "I'm use to this; I sleep on couch all the time on the tour bus"

The superstar sat down on the couch and stared at the ceiling but failed to fall asleep, he looked at the clock. "Oh great it's 11:24 PM" he mumbled to himself, after he had tossed and turned and still found no luck in falling asleep, he got up and walked to the room he saw Richtofen entering and walked down the stairs, he stopped and hid behind a box that seemed to be filled with all kind of weird stuff just like everything in this house.

Richtofen was tapping on the pen; he scribbled some things on the paper before turning back to the micro scope, Dempsey waved his hands to fan himself the room was so damn hot and he could see the sweat on the Doctor's face. Edward laid back on his chair and whipped away the sweat with his gloved hand.

Dempsey watched anxiously as Richtofen removed his lab coat and unbuttoned the first three buttons on his shirt his chest being exposed for a bit before he turned back to the table, Dempsey smirked and walked quietly to Edward, who was to consumed by his work to notice anything, Tank stood behind him.

Richtofen gasped when he felt a warm hand creep to his barley exposed chest. "Hey doc, what are you doing up so late?" Tank rubbed his hands on the sweaty chest. "It's so hot in here, isn't it?" Richtofen shivered before kicking Dempsey in his stomach and pushed him away.

"Sie pervertieren, wie kannst du es wagen mich berühren?" Richtofen yelled in anger and covered himself.

Dempsey chuckled. "Relax no need for the German curses… I think your swearing anyway not sure, I was just screwing around"

Richtofen quickly buttoned his shirt. "Get out of here or you vill sleep outside LIKE THE DOG YOU ARE"

"Harsh" Dempsey snorted, Richtofen pointed at the door and Dempsey sighed. "Fine" he left and sat down on the couch. Once again his eyes betrayed him and they refused to stay shut. Hour after hour of struggling Dempsey decided to go drink a glass of water, he left for the kitchen that he spent some time looking for before finally finding it. Pouring some cold water in two cups and walked back down to the lab. "Hey Doc I thou----" he didn't finish his sentence when he saw the German asleep, his head rested on the table and his arm rested under his head, he was snoring so peacefully. Dempsey smiled and placed the cups on the table before lifting the sleeping doctor in his arms like he did in the morning and went to search for his room, he kicked every door open until he finally found the wanted room.

Walking to the bed, Dempsey lied the defenseless doctor down gently. "Night Edward" he whispered playing with the black locks of hair before leaving the German to his world of dreams.

Dempsey walked back to his sleeping spot and took out his phone. "HOLY---" he had about 30 missed calls from his team and he hurried to call back. "Stupid silent" he mumbled. "Hello? Yeah I'm fine… no guys I'm fine really, I met this guy… well you can say that he's taking good care of me... I'll see you guys tomorrow… alright… good night" he hanged up and finally managed to fall asleep.

The next day he woke on the sound of footsteps. "Morning" he mumbled still half asleep.

Richtofen looked at the American. "Good morning" he pushed the words out.

Dempsey stood up and followed Richtofen to the kitchen. "Hey" he started before resting his chin on the other males shoulder. "How about you just wait outside and I'll make you something nice to eat okay?"

Richtofen gave a blank expression to Dempsey. "Nein, I vont take zhe risk of being poisoned thank you"

Dempsey laughed. "Oh come on Doc I promise it'll be good now just go and sit and I'll cook"

Richtofen obeyed not feeling any need to fight Tank. After sometime The Superstar returned with a plate of bacon and eggs. They both sat down and started eating. "American…" Richtofen called suddenly.

"Hmm?"

"… T-Thank you" Richtofen looked away as he was saying those words.

"Why?"

"For… carrying me to bed last night"

Dempsey grinned. "No problem you just looked tired." Richtofen nodded.

Not long after Dempsey's phone rand. "Tank Dempsey"

"Tank where are you man? The paparazzi are going to skin us alive REALLY" Kevin yelled.

"I'll be right there, DON'T answer a single question" Dempsey stood up and sighed. "Guess this is good bye Doc… it was nice meeting you" Richtofen waved his hands shooing Dempsey off. "I just wish I could have shown you how great of people we are"

"Ja, Ja vhatever you shay"

Dempsey frowned. "See ya… or maybe not…"

Richtofen nodded.

"I'll miss having you around"

"VILL YOU SHUT UP IF I DROVE YOU TO YOUR SHTUPID DESTENATION?"

Dempsey grinned. "Yep"

Richtofen growled. "Get in zhe car"

Driving for about 15 minutes the two got to the band base that was surrounded by the paparazzi that soon also surrounded Richtofen's car. "Here we go again"

Dempsey opened the door and Richtofen was forced out of the car. "Vhat is zhis nonsense?"

Dempsey and Richtofen made their way through the flashing cameras and into the building. "Phew" Dempsey grinned. "Made it"

"Tank finally man" Kevin patted Dempsey's shoulder. "And this is?" his attention turned to Richtofen.

"Dr. Edward Richtofen, he's the one that helped me with the media"

"Nice to meet you Doctor, thanks for helping out our leader he can be an ass sometimes"

"Shut up Kev" Dempsey joked and the two laughed, Richtofen rolled his eyes.

"I'll be leaving now if you need me DON'T bother to go all zhe vay to my house or else…"

Richtofen started making his way to the door. Dempsey smirked and followed Richtofen till he stood in front of him walking backwards. Trying to make a small beat by clapping and snapping his hands

I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be
Your papa, paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Dempsey laughed. "Doc… give me a chance please?"

"vhat do you vant from me?"

"To change your mind, were an amazing band but better people too"

"Just let me go, I DON'T LIKE YOU OR YOUR SHTUPID BAND"

Dempsey laughed again. "Did you or did you not just hear my song?"

Richtofen growled in anger and annoyance. "Und vhat do you have in mind to think that you can actually make me like you?"

"Spend some time with us"

The German sighed. "Vhat about zhe media"

"Screw them they can think you're my boyfriend for all I care" Dempsey smirked.

Richtofen slapped Dempsey. "NOT EVEN IF YOU VERE ZHE LAST PERSON TO VALK ZHIS EARTH"

Tank rubbed his cheek but the smirk never left his lips. "We'll see about that"

"Don't test my patience American"

Dempsey leaned in closer to the Doctor's face. "Sooner or later Doc… You'll learn to love me… I'm irresistible" He chuckled and backed away. "You know I'm just screwing with you… or maybe I'm not who knows" he shrugged. "Come on I'll show you where you will be staying"

"Shtaying? Who said anyzhing about zhat? I vould never stay vith YOU"

Tank kicked the front door open. "The piles and piles of band stalkers"

Richtofen twitched before he turned to face Dempsey lifting a hand to punch him but contained his anger. "FINE, I'll be gone by tomorrow"

"Maybe you'll like it here" Dempsey led Richtofen to an empty room that had nothing but a bed. "This was for a former member"

Richtofen inspected the room. "Vhy did he leave?"

"Oh it wasn't a he; it was a bitch with a capital BITCH" Richtofen blinked and waited for the blond to continue. "Back then we had two vocalists but she cracked under paparazzi pressure and started going insane if you know what I mean, plus she was a very annoying girlfriend."

"Like you?" Richtofen said with a mocking smirk.

"Hmm so you admit that you are my boyfriend" Dempsey laughed and that whipped the smirk from Richtofen's face.

"Get out… I vant to take a shower"

The German pushed Dempsey out and slammed the door shut. "But you have no clothes…" Dempsey said then shrugged and walked off.

Not long after the blond returned with some of his clothing and knocked on Richtofen's door. "Got some clean clothes for you"

Richtofen opened the door, hiding shyly behind it, Dempsey whistled and tried to look but Richtofen slammed the door and hit his face. "Jeez I was kidding lighten up" Edward opened the door and took the clothes quick before closing it again.

Finally dressed Richtofen leaves the room in search of something fun and scientific to do rather than just sit in that room the whole day. "Wow you look nice, Superstar nice" Dempsey smiled.

Richtofen ignored him and tried to get off the scent of the American in the clothing he wore, but they smelled nice and he couldn't help it. "Nikolai paparazzis 6 o'clock" Kevin warned and Nikolai closed the curtins.

"Are zhey alvays like zhis?"

"Who the paparazzi? Yea it's like they don't have a life… I hate being stalked 24/7 WE NEED SPACE TOO" Dempsey sighed. "Sorry temper, it always gets me"

Richtofen rubbed his head… this was going to be a long day, maybe even weeks or maybe more. "Vhen do zhey leave?"

"Eh give them about… 7 hours"

"VHAT?"

'oh vunderbah' Richtofen thought 'just vunderbah'
