Dean poked in the chest. “Say it. I’m not playing games.”
“Fine, I understand.” Killian’s jaw tightened.
Dean turned to look at his brother. “Is your nose broken?” Maverick shook his head. “Same goes for you. You leave one another alone until we get this sorted.”
“I understand.” Maverick stuck his middle finger up and laughed loudly when Killian made like he was going to come at him again. “Sorry.”
“Prick.” Killian seethed.
“Fag.” Maverick shot back.
The room went deathly quiet.
“What did you just say to me?” Killian snapped.
Maverick shrugged. “You heard me, Killian. You think I don’t know about you and Matthias—” He never finished his sentence. Killian shoved Dean and me out of the way to knock the drummer to the floor. Then he climbed onto his chest and wrapped both hands around his throat.
“Jesus Christ!” I screamed.
“You ever fucking say his name again, and I will kill you!” Killian exclaimed as Maverick’s eyes seemed to bulge in their sockets. His face had turned an odd shade of blue. “You don’t ever say that name!” Tears streamed down his face as Dean and I struggled to drag him off Maverick.
“You’re fucking crazy!” Maverick croaked out hoarsely as he scrambled away.
“Call me that again. See what happens, because they won’t be able to save your ass!” Killian warned.
Dean glanced over his shoulder as he comforted his brother. “Are you gay? I’m not judging you, man.”
“Do you really have to ask?” Killian bared his teeth.
Maverick laughed bitterly. “Someone saw you and Fuller together a couple of weeks ago. Holding hands.” His voice rasped.
“They’re lying,” Killian insisted. My eyes bounced between the two of them. “Who told you that, huh? Which one of your so-called friends?”
Maverick waved a hand at him. “Like I’d tell you. So you could what? Kick the shit out of them or choke them like you did to me. You’re nuts, Hampton.” He managed to climb to his feet.
“What about....” Dean stopped when Killian narrowed his eyes. “Nothing, never mind.”
Killian pointed at Maverick. “Fuck you.” He raised his middle finger around the room. “Fuck all of you. We’re supposed to be a team, right? If you think your friend saw something, come to me. Ask me. Don’t go spreading rumors. How are we supposed to be a band if we can’t trust one another?”
“So, you’re saying it’s not true?” I asked, even though I knew it was.
“Have you ever seen me into dudes, Blake?” Killian shook his head like he was trying to believe his own lie. “Thanks for ruining my night.”
Maverick called out to Killian, “Wait.”
“For what?” Killian swung back around to stare at all of us. “What do you want now?”
Maverick’s brows dipped. “Prove it. Prove that there’s nothing between you and Fuller.”
“My word is my proof.” Killian reached for the door and opened it.
“Your word is shit, Killian. Prove it or you’re out. You decide by next practice.”
The sound of the door slamming shut behind our singer rang through the air.
