love calling

chapter 2 now up, thank you to sadsally and vindictive diva for being my first two reviewers- hugs to you both!!


Bam went downstairs and threw everything in the kitchen sink before going out and sitting on the side of the pool with his head in his hands.

"How did it go, honey?" Ape asked, slightly concerned.

"His name's Ville, he's gay and single, I think I managed to tell him I fancy him without meaning to and I think he was flirting with me."

"Ok, tell us exactly what happened" said Ape, taking control.

Bam relayed everything, not missing out any detail and once he'd finished he looked up to find everyone looking at him with incredulous stares.

"Dude, what the fuck are you doing down here?" asked Novak "Why'd you run? Go back up there and find out if he fancies you."

"I can't do that, we've known each other for less than a day and we only started speaking to each other about fifteen minutes ago, it's a little soon."

"Yeah, well you're never gonna get to know him if you keep running away." Phil pointed out.

"I know, but it's different with him. As soon as I look at him I blush, my stomach flips and I start to babble and stutter. I've NEVER been like that with anyone, not even Jenn."

"Aaw, that's so sweet, love at first sight." cooed Ape, and Bam shot her a filthy look. He was about to deliver a biting retort when he was interupted by a soft, deep voice.

"Um, hi. I hope you don't mind me joining you."

Bam's head snapped round to see the cutest sight he'd ever seen. Ville had washed his hair and now it curled around his face in dissaray, his eyeliner was redone and he was wearing Bam's clothes; an Element shirt that was too big for his small frame and an overly baggy pair of blue jeans. He looked like a little kid playing dress-up in his fathers clothes- he looked adorable.

"Don't be stupid, I told you to come and join us when you were ready." Bam said, blushing as he felt the intense stares of his family and friends as they studied Ville and Bam's reactions to him. Ville smiled and sat down next to him, getting as close to him as he could. Bam noticed everybody's grins as they watched Ville's display of affection and he prayed they wouldn't say anything.

"How are you feeling now honey?" Ape asked, smiling gently at the smaller boy.

"Oh, I'm fine now, thank you for your help earlier and I'm sorry I didn't speak to you, I was a little spaced out."

"Don't worry about that, I don't mind as long as you're feeling better."

"So, Bam said you were getting beaten up cos you're gay." Dunn said, watching Ville intently. "Are you gonna tell your boyfriend?"

Bam watched half curiously and half filled with dread as he waited to see where Dunn was going with the conversation, especially as he'd just told everyone Ville was single.

"I don't have a boyfriend at the moment." smiled Ville.

"Are you looking for one?" Dunn suddely asked

"Are you offering?" Ville countered

"NO! I'm not into guys, I was just asking." Dunn quickly replied.

"Oh good, I was starting to worry!" Ville said deadpan. Dunn scowled as everyone burst out laughing. "To answer your question, I don't go out looking for a boyfriend but it would be nice to have one."

"What do you look for in a guy?" asked Raab. "I'm not offering either." He added hastily, learning from Dunn's mistake.

"I like tanned guys and guys with facial hair. I also love blue eyes on a man." Ville said, watching Bam out the corner of his eye. "What about you Bam? What do you look for in a man?"

Bam, who was already blushing, flushed even harder as everyone's attention was focused on him, his friends biting back laughter as they watched the usually calm and collected Bam Margera come unglued.

"I...uh...I don't...um...I haven't really thought about it." Bam stammered, twisting the material of his shirt between his hands.

Thankfully Novak got bored and stripped off all his clothing before dive-bombing into the pool, causing Ape to start ranting about naked men in her back yard, and all his friends to turn their attention to pissing her off even more.

"Do you wanna swim?" asked Bam, as he saw Ville watching his friends jump into the pool one by one, infuriating Ape more each time.

"No, I'm ok. To be honest, I'm scared of the water." Ville confessed. "Besides, I'd much rather sit here with you."

Just to be sure that Bam knew he was flirting with him, Ville brushed his hand over Bam's thigh, fast enough that no one else would see but with enough pressure that Bam knew it wasn't an accident.

Just as suddenly, Ville got up and turned to Ape. "It was really nice to meet you and thanks again for helping me but I should be getting back to my hotel, my friends will be getting worried about me."

"Ok. It was nice to meet you too. Bam, why don't you walk him home to make sure those men aren't around again."

"That would be great if you could." Ville said, turning towards Bam "I'm kinda nervous about going past there again, especially as I don't know Westchester."

"Sure." Bam got up and grabbed his jacket before waving goodbye to his friends.

"Don't take too long." Dico teased "We'll be worried something's happened to you and we'll have to come looking!"

Bam turned and walked away without replying, flipping Dico off as he left.

"I'm staying at the Doubletree hotel, do you know it?" Ville asked as they walked down the road.

"Uh, yeah I know where it is, it won't take us long to get there.

"Oh, can we stop at that store cos I need to buy some cigarettes, I'm dying for a smoke."

"Sure. I'll wait outside." Bam stood on the corner of the deserted street and waited for Ville to buy his cigarettes.

He was so busy trying to calm down all the thoughts rushing about in his head that he didn't notice Ville had finished in the store until he felt a hand gently squeeze his ass and Ville's warm breath on his ear as he whispered huskily "What were you thinking about? It made you look so beautiful standing there." The quickest feeling of a wet tongue tracing his ear, and it was all gone. Ville stood next to him, lighting a cigarette as if nothing had happened.

"Right, so which way now?" The seductive tone was gone and Bam almost thought he'd imagined what had just happened.

"Uh...we turn left at the next street." Bam wasn't sure what to make of Ville's constantly changing personality so he decided to do the same and pretend it hadn't happened. During the rest of the walk back to the hotel Bam continuously felt Ville brushing up against him but decided that it must be accidental as Ville didn't seem to notice he was doing it.

The short walk to Ville's hotel was made in comfortable silence, occasionally broken with random thoughts that popped into either boy's head.

"Here we are. Is this the right place?" Bam asked as they stopped in front of a small, quite cheap looking hotel.

"Yeah." Ville seemed slightly frustrated and Bam couldn't think what could have caused it.

"Well, um... I guess I should get going. I hope you feel ok after what happened today, it was really nice to meet you though." He waited for a reply but none came. Upset and confused as to what he'd done to annoy Ville, he turned to walk away but was stopped short by Ville's deep voice.

"You know, you really make things difficult for a guy." Bam turned to face the etheral beauty that had captured his attention from the moment he had laid eyes on him.

"I've been trying to get a reaction from you since you came up to see how I was in your room, but you've given me nothing to work with." Ville continued, watching Bam with a look he couldn't decipher.

"What do you mean?" Bam was genuinely confused and Ville decided to take pity on him.

"I mean this." Ville pushed Bam backwards until he hit the wall of the hotel and pressed his lips against his in a seductive kiss that left Bam breathless and shocked when Ville pulled away.

"Could you do me a favour?" Ville asked suddenly. Bam nodded silently, still too stunned to speak. "let me know if you're gonna hit me for kissing you so I can duck, cos I don't fancy getting beaten up again today."

"I...I'm not gonna hit you but.........."

"But what?"

"But I still don't understand." Bam ducked his head and blushed, looking up at Ville sheepishly.

"What I mean darling, is that I think you're gorgeous and I was flirting with you to see how you'd respond. If you flirted back then I knew that maybe I had a chance but if you told me to fuck off, I'd know that you weren't interested. Only thing was, you didn't do ANYTHING!" Ville laughed gently and Bam decided that it was his favourite sound in the world.

"Oh. Wait, you think I'm gorgeous?"

"Of course sweetheart. Were you not listening when I was talking to your friends at the pool?"

"Yeah but I didn't realize you meant me." Ville laughed again and Bam couldn't help but join in as he realized how dumb he'd been.

"I...uh...I think you're gorgeous too but I can't do this."

"Why not?"

"I don't know you or anything about you, my girlfriend only broke up with me two weeks ago and I've never been with another guy before." Bam replied, trying to convince himself as much as Ville.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" Bam was slightly confused by the change of topic but went with it.

"Nothing, just hanging around at home."

"Meet me tomorrow and we can spend the day getting to know each other. That's the first problem solved. It doesn't matter to me that you've never been with a guy before, I won't push you to do anything and I can't do anything about your girlfriend, that's something you have to work through on your own."

Bam just stared, unable to believe how quickly Ville had managed to break down his excuses. He really didn't want to meet the other man as he had a feeling Ville would be able to get inside his heart rather quickly and he was scared of getting heartbroken again.

Ville sensed his hesitation and rushed to reassure him. "I just want to get to know you. I'm not asking you to have sex with me or declare your undying love for me- not yet anyway!" He teased with a smile.

"Ok." Bam blushed. "Where do you want to meet?"

"How about outside the cafe we passed just down the road about midday? We can get something to eat and decide where to go from there."

"Yeah that sounds cool." Bam agreed. "I really better get going now cos I don't want the guys coming looking for me and I know they'd do it just to annoy me."

"Ok, just one last thing?" Ville leant forward and kissed Bam's lips chastley.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Ville smiled at him before turning and walking into the hotel, waving goodbye as he shut the door.

Bam leant against the wall, his legs weak and shaky, remembering how Ville's soft lips felt against his own. After a few minutes, he started the walk back to his house, his face splitting into a huge grin as he thought about seeing the pale, beautiful boy again the next day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bam was awake and drinking coffee before anyone else woke as nerves wouldn't let him sleep and as Ape walked past his room on her way downstairs, she found him throwing things out of his huge closet, getting increasingly angry.

She watched in amuesment for a few moments before knocking lightly on the door and entering the bedroom. "You're up early, we don't normally see you until the afternoon." She commented.

"Yeah well I got up early for once." Bam snapped, rummaging through the pile of clothes that had landed on his bed.

"What's wrong Bam?"

"I've got nothing to fucking wear, that's what's wrong." Ape took no notice of Bam's attitude, knowing that he was just frustrated and he didn't mean to take it out on her.

"You have hundreds of boxes of clothes that your sponsers have sent you, and yet you have nothing to wear?" Ape asked with a laugh.

"None of it looks right." Bam whined, dropping onto the bed in despair.

"And what do you need this perfect outfit for?" She had a feeling she knew but she wanted Bma to confirm it.

"I'm meeting Ville again today."

"Aah."

"What?" Bam asked suspiciously

"Nothing, I just said aah."

"I know you meant something else so just say it."

"I just meant that you really seem to like him. I mean you're up before noon and you're sitting here trying to find the perfect outfit to meet him in."

"It's just that he's naturally so beautiful and I'm not. I just want him to like me."

"Listen to me." Ape took hold of Bam's chin and turned him his face to look at her. "You are a handsome, intelligent, talented young man and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise." Bam couldn't help but smile at his mom's over-protectiveness.

"He said he likes me but..." Bam let his sentance trail off, showing the insecurities he usually kept hidden from everyone.

"Ok, how long have you got before you have to be there?"

"Half an hour but I can make it if I take the hummer."

Ape threw his favourite jeans, a red shirt and his black blazer at him. "You look nice in these, you almost look smart. Now hurry up or you'll be late."

She walked out without giving him a chance to argue. She was getting things ready for lunch when Bam walked into the kitchen in the outfit she'd chosen but with a beanie hat and a pair of black fingerless gloves to complete it.

"Well? Is it ok?"

"You look nice."

"I look horrible don't I? I should go back and change." Bam turned to go back to his room but he was stopped by Ape trying her best to stifle her laughter at her sons melodrama.

"Bam, I said you look nice. You don't need to change, you don't have time to change anyway."

Bam caught sight of the clock and yelped (in a very manly voice, of course) as he saw the time.

"FUCK! I'm gonna be late. Thanks for the advice Ape, I'll see you later, not sure what time I'll be back." Bam yelled as he ran out the door and into the garage.

"Drive carefully!" Ape called, but was too late as the Hummer sped out the driveway causing a cloud of dust to fly up behind it.

*************************

Ville had been waiting outside the lotus cafe for fifteen minutes. Ok, so he'd been a little early- ten minutes early to be precise, but it still meant that Bam was five minutes late and Ville was beginning to think he'd been stood up.

**Maybe I was too full on with him, I mean he did just break up with his girlfriend and he hasn't been out of the closet for long. Oh my god, I've scared off the first guy I've been attracted to in ages, I'm such an idiot.**

Another five minutes passed with Ville beating himself up about ruining a potential relationship and he finally decided to go back to Bam's house and apologize for freaking him out. Just as he was about to cross the road, a large red hummer came round the corner and almost hit him before swerving into the parking lot and screeching to a halt.

Ville turned around to yell at whatever idiot thought that was good driving. The words died on his lips though, as the door opened and Bam jumped out of the car looking even more gorgeous than he had the day before.

Bam rushed over to him, babbling and apologizing for being late. "I'm so sorry, I got up early but then I couldn't decide what to wear and then Ape talked to me for a bit and I didn't realize how late it was and the traffic was awful and I realized I don't have your phone number so I couldn't call you and tell you I was running a little late and......"

Bam finally had to stop for much needed air and Ville burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Bam asked slightly disgruntled.

"You're so cute when you babble darling!"

"Oh." Bam's face flushed but he broke into a grin. "So, what do you want to do?"

"How about we go to that bar over the road and we can have a few drinks and get to know each other a little better?"

Ville waited for Bam to agree before grabbing his hand and pulling him across the road and into the pub.

They both ordered a beer and sat down at a small table in the corner. Just as Bam was about to speak they heard a gasp coming from behind them. A girl about fourteen wearing baggy black jeans and a CKY shirt had been leaving with her parents when she'd spotted Bam.

"Oh my god! I'm such a big fan of yours, you're so awsome, can I have your autograph?" She babbled excitedly.

Bam could see Ville giving him an odd look and inwardly cringed. On the outside though, he was the perfect gentleman.

"Of course! What's your name?" He took the offered pen and napkin the young girl was holding out.

"I'm Lydia." She was almost bouncing with excitement although she seemed unable to say much, in awe of seeing her hero so close.

"Here you go. Nice taste in music by the way" Bam grinned, looking at her shirt.

"Oh thank you so much, this is great." Lydia gushed, melting at Bam's grin. She walked back to her parents and both men could hear her talking about how incredible Bam was as the family walked out the door.

"So... uh, I feel really stupid now." Ville said suddenly

"What, why?"

"Well, I feel like I should know who you are but I don't."

"You do know who I am, I'm Bam." Ville laughed at Bam's way of simplifying things.

"You know what I mean. You're obviously famous and that girl was practically drooling on the floor at the sight of you, but I can't remember seeing you anywhere before."

"I'm not really famous, I'm a pro skater and I've got my own tv show, but I'm just a normal guy. It doesn't mean anything."

"Wow." Ville seemed in awe and Bam sighed, frustrated.

"It's not a big deal, you know."

"I know. I liked you before I knew what you do so it's not gonna change anything." Ville said gently, pleased with his choice of words as Bam smiled warmly at him.

It seemed to break the undercurrent of tension between them and they talked animatedly for hours, learning all they could about the other.

Bam learned that Ville had a brother called Jesse, his dad owned a sex shop, he was from Finland, that he was in a band called his infernal majesty, or HIM for short and the band were in America to talk to different recording companies.

Ville learned that Bam also had a brother called Jess, that he always called his mom and dad Ape and Phil, that he had an annoying uncle who he called Don Vito and that Ville was the first guy that Bam had ever kissed.

They stumbled out the door some unknown time and countless beers later and realized that at some point during their bonding session, it had gotten dark.

"You can't drive home Bammie cos I think you're drunk." Ville slurred. "You can come back to the hotel with me and stay there tonight."

"Ok, that's a good idea cos I can't remb..remebe...think what car's mine right now!" Bam giggled drunkenly and Ville wrapped an arm round him as he tripped over his feet and almost fell into the path of an oncoming car.

"I think we better be careful cos you nearly got splattered like a bunny!" Ville said with a serious face, the swaying of his body and the slurring of his voice destroying the image of child like innocence he had.

They wrapped their arms round each other and staggered in the vague direction of the hotel, actually managing to get back without too many problems. They got into the elevator just inside the door of the hotel and Ville pushed the button for the fifth floor.

Bam barely had time to register the doors sliding closed before Ville was pressed up against him, pushing him against the mirrored wall of the elevator.

"Ville, what..." Bam was cut off by a pair off soft, warm lips against his and a tounge that tasted of budweiser, smoke and something else that Bam couldn't define, was in his mouth exploring every inch of it and making sparks shoot throughout his body.

He was vaguely aware that he was grinding himself against Ville's leg but the sensations were too pleasurable for him to even consider stopping. Ville pulled away from the kiss to place biting kisses over Bam's neck and throat, causing the skater to mewl in delight, his hands reaching up to thread in dark hair, holding the smaller man to him.

Ville's hand reached to undo the buckle on Bam's belt but as he did, the elevator stopped on their floor and the doors slid open. They pulled apart, thankful there was no one there, and headed down the corridoor to Ville's room.

Ville fumbled with the card key for a few moments before it finally opened and they both fell in the door giggling insanely, both still grasping at each other, desperate to touch each other.

Hands were everywhere, tearing at clothes, not caring if they got ripped in their hurry to undress each other. By the time they reached the bed, both men were naked and wanting each other more desperately than either thought was possible.

"Wait here darling, I have some lube in the bathroom, I'll be right back." Ville whispered huskily, nipping at Bam's ear.

He entered the small bathroom and rummaged around in the bag of stuff he'd brought, getting frustrated when he couldn't find it. He dumped the contents of the small bag onto the bathroom floor, giving a triumphant yell when he found the tube he was looking for.

He ignored the mess, resolving to clear it up in the morning. He went back into the main part of the room, his heart beating faster at the thought of being fucked by the gorgeous skater who'd saved him, only to find that Bma was passed out on his bed.

Ville sighed in disappointment and placed the lube on the bedside cabinet. He decided not to try and re-dress Bam in case he woke him up, so instead he climbed into the bed beside him and pulled the covers over them, cuddling up beside Bam's warm body and falling asleep almost instantly.
