When John presented Roger with the stuffed lion the Sunday before Queen first tour, he wasnโt really sure how to react. Now, Roger rarely did know how to react in general. There was a reason he was the spaz of the band and not Brian.ย Butโฆthis was different.ย โAnd I just know how much you always seem to like holding Beary, and you know I appreciate you asking and all, but I just thought that youโd like your own maybe. Your own Beary.โ John had been babbling and Roger only just tuned back in.ย Heโd been too busy stewing over his own response and combing his fingers through the lionโs mane.ย ย
โWell not a Beary,โ Roger muttered, now focused on the stuffieโs plastic nose and eyes. He tapped his fingernail over them, again and again. Nice sound. He did it some more and he felt John go from standing to sitting beside him on the sofa.ย ย
โUnless this is a Beary in drag.โ He looked up, finally, and smiled at John.ย A real oneโwith his eyes and his body and everything. Legs bouncing and hands moving.ย He didnโt want to admit it, butโฆhe liked this gift.ย Roger held up the lion and started playing with it, making it strike funky poses and bop to the radio playing in the kitchen.
โThatโs why I got you the lion, Rog.ย โCause weโre-โcause youโre a Leoโstop that!โ He chuckled, hands swinging around happily. โLions arenโt supposed to like rock nโ roll!โRoger gasped in mock disgrace and started swinging one of his little cloth arms around an air guitar like Pete Townsend.ย Now they had both moved up onto their knees and were bouncing on the couch cushions, hair bobbing up and down in time.ย John was so happy and bright, Roger wanted to tackle him in a hug.ย ย โIf Bearys can like rock nโ roll than so can lions!โย
โYour lion doesnโt have the experience to like anything yet.ย He doesnโt even have a name. And you have to at least have a name to have experience.โ
Roger frowned and stopped bouncing a moment, holding his lion out in front of him and studying it.ย ย
โHeโฆdoes have a name.โ He argued from behind the furry mane. John smirked and raised an eyebrow, eyes brighter than stars.ย ย โOh? And whatโs his name?โ Roger reddened. Heโฆknew this was coming, but he also hadnโt thought this far ahead.ย ย โLy. Short forโฆLion.โ He found himself clutching Ly tight and averting his gaze again.ย Thank god his new stuffed animal was soft, because he was white knuckling the poor thing.ย ย
โAnd donโt go saying itโs a bad nameย โcause your bearโs name is Beary and thatโs not any better than naming a Lion Ly, so you donโt have any leg to stand on, Deaky.โ Roger heart was beating fast, expecting a snarky remark from John.ย And now would be the perfect time use it, too.ย Roger was lost to think of any decent rebuttal.ย He couldnโt feel things and be smart at the same time, not like normal people.ย ย A gentle hand, wearing rings on three fingers, came to rest on the stuffed lionโs head, and pushed it out of the way.ย John looked at Roger and Roger looked back from behind his bangs.ย He smiled that gap toothed smile made of pixie dust and Roger suddenly felt calmer.ย ย โI think Lyโs a great name.โ John shrugged.ย โAll I was going to say was that just because lionโs canโt like rock nโ roll doesnโt mean they shouldnโt.โ A glint reappeared in Johnโs eye and Rogerโs lips quirked up a little.ย ย โHasnโt stopped us.โย
