song prompt: Some Boys, by Death Cab for Cutie anonymous April 24 2012, 16:05:30 UTC
They're making a killing at the top of the billings, and that's all that they know.

But some boys don't know how to love.

a/n: it's 4:25 in the morning and I wrote this on my phone and I'm not even sure it makes sense, but I love this song and I love this prompt so I let this spill out. hopefully it at least vaguely resembles what you were hoping for, OP.

-------------------------

some boys are filling, some boys are filling the hole

one day, when they've run out of words to sing or run out of shows to play or run out of smiles to share, maybe they'll look back at the things they did and call themselves stupid.

maybe they'll chalk it up to starry-eyed naïvety, or say they were simply running blind through too many flashbulbs and screaming fans, that they were young and reckless and didn't have a clue what they were doing.

maybe they'll look back on those days, sour with regret, but for now.

for now, they breathe in today.

they're making a killing at the top of the billings,
it's their role, and that's all that they know.

they make it to number one. they sell out venues. the flashbulbs grow brighter.

they smile gratefully, recite their thank-you ( ... )

some boys are singing, some boys are singing the blues

niall tells paul that they're worn out. he tells paul he wishes they could take time off, he says it with a hopeful glint to his eyes. paul looks at the others who nod in agreement, except for zayn, who's fallen asleep on louis' shoulder as they sit in the van on the way to another interview.

maybe it's the irish accent, but when they step off the plane in sydney, they're given the whole day to catch up on sleep. the next day they go out on someone's boat while the flashbulbs buzz by up above in a helicopter and niall is dubbed the official complaining liason of the band.

joylessly flinging with the girls that they're bringing to their rooms
and then leave them, they're throughharry initiates a parade of leggy females with tousled hair for the next week, reveling in the way the flashbulbs flicker and people talk about him across twitter and tumblr. he goes out on dinner dates and his phone is buzzing every few minutes and he even lets lily halpern talk about him for a while ( ... )

they pushed each other off the cliff, really. they'll keep falling recklessly, they'll do stupid things and say stupid things and they'll wait patiently until they crash at the bottom.

eventually the flashbulbs will fade and the mistakes they make will fade and maybe they'll call themselves naïve and maybe they'll say they were clueless, but then again, maybe they'll be able to look at each other one day and say that every idiotic decision was worth it because they were too hopelessly in love with each other to care.

they won't get what they want,

but they can take what they need from each other and they can give everything they have to each other and they can wait for the crash.

I really love this. DCFC is one of my favourite bands and this was beautifully written and it's exactly how I imagined a song-fic with this song; flawless description, use of cliche-but-not-cliche metaphors, subtly heart touching and a little inspiring. Great job with this!
not op, in case you were wondering

OP here, and this was so perfect. I loved the bed-hopping and the little aches of being on the road and the last line absolutely killed me. You're amazing. Thank you so much for filling this!
