Lyrics: The Sweet - Funny, Funny

"Tell me is it really true
This feelin' that I feel for you
Your own kind of lovin'
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you"

Nicky leaned against the railing on the balcony, deep in his own thoughts. He felt happy, and it wasn’t because of the big group of fans standing outside the hotel waving at him. He smiled and waved back.

They seemed unusually quiet, he guessed they’d learnt their lesson when that noisy group of rather young girls had got them thrown out of a hotel a few months back. It seemed like after that the fans had started to show more respect.

Not that he was too bothered with things like that at the moment. He felt so happy and high. And no, he wasn’t on drugs, he was in love. So blissfully in love. He looked out over the fans again. Imagine if they knew. He wondered if they’d support them. They’d been there through everything, but would they stick through something like that too?

Suddenly he felt the familiar feeling of two strong arms encircling his waist. He turned his head slightly to face his boyfriend. Shane smiled and waved at the fans, who seemed to get noisier with his appearance. Not that Nicky blamed them, Shane was hot all right. He was also sweet, funny, caring, loving… and he loved Nicky.

"Let’s go inside where it’s a bit more private…" Shane whispered. Nicky nodded, they waved to the fans another time and went inside.

"And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me"

They sat down on the double bed. The rest of the lads, Louis and Anto knew of the relationship, and of course they should share a bed. Neither of them minded, but they wondered what would happen if an outsider realised. Well, it wasn’t really anything to worry about. If it happened it happened. For the past few months they’d really taken each day as it came. Enjoying each others company without worrying too much about people around them. It would have to come out sooner or later anyway.

Nicky cuddled up to Shane. Shane smiled and put his arms around him. "Kian wondered if we’re coming with them for dinner tonight?" Nicky shrugged.

"Ok, they’ll be leaving in an hour, so we’d better get ready then," he gave Nicky a soft kiss.

"Ok," Nicky eased himself out of Shane’s embrace and went to have a shower. Shane followed him into the bathroom.

Nicky didn’t protest, just smiled as he realised what Shane was after. He let Shane remove his clothes and helped Shane with his. They stepped into the shower cabin, and Shane found the shower gel.

"Turn around," Nicky did as he was told and Shane cleaned his back. He was quite slow, and really gentle. Nicky was beginning to get rather excited. Shane smiled as he spun Nicky around, kneeled down and took him in his mouth.

Nicky groaned and ran his fingers through Shane’s hair and over his face. He came and then returned the favour, before they went to get dressed.

"Ever since you came my way
I knew it was my lucky day
The sun started shinin'
When you started smiling
And I know it's gonna stay that way"

Shane smiled at Nicky across the table. Nicky smiled back, remembering the first time he met Shane. That smile. It was what had first attracted him. Shane had the most lovely smile; he could bright up the darkest room.

And his eyes of course. Nicky could spend absolutely hours staring into Shane’s eyes; they seemed to change every second. What was that saying again? "The eyes are the windows of the soul." Well, with Shane, that was really true. His eyes said everything.

Nicky smiled and shook his head. Shane could be very over protective. "Shane, I’ve eaten more than half of what was on that plate. I’m all right, just full."

Shane grinned, "Ok, I really ought to stop giving you treats before dinner…" Nicky laughed slightly.

"So, when can we expect wedding invitations?" Bryan said suddenly, as Nicky and Shane were engulfed in another private conversation.

Nicky looked up at him and Shane winked back. Nicky couldn’t help but wonder if Shane had ever thought of marriage. He hadn’t done it himself, but it was a nice thought. Though he wasn’t really sure of any place that would allow that.

"And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me"

They went on to a club. They drank a bit too much, and the other lads suddenly showed loads of interest in the loving couple. And Shane and Nicky, who were really giddy themselves, were ready to answer anything. Do anything, in fact.

"I dare you to kiss Nicky here and now…" Mark was a bit unsteady, and Kian put an arm around him.

"Ok," Shane didn’t care that they were in the middle of the crowded bar. He usually would never have done anything like it, but with the excess alcohol flowing through his veins he couldn’t think straight.

So, he pulled Nicky close and kissed him, lightly and playfully at first, but when Nicky responded it gradually became more forceful and passionate. They were lost from the outside world for a fair amount of time.

"Come on lads, get up!" Anto was unbelievably noisy for that time of the day. Shane blinked a few times and suddenly realised it wasn’t Anto.

Nicky looked just as terrified as he felt. "What did we do last night?" It all came flowing back. "No… oh, shit, no!"

Shane’s mind was working overdrive, while thumping from the bad hangover. He hopped off the bed and threw Nicky his bathrobe after having put on his own.

"Ok, I’ll just go open the door, and we’ll… Stay calm…" Nicky nodded slowly. He agreed they would have to open the door, but stay calm? As if!

"Can't imagine lovin' anyone but you
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Every minute lovin' everything you do
(Honey honey, so funny funny)
Couldn't see my way without you
Now I gotta tell the world about you"

"Louis!" Shane said as he opened the door, "I didn’t think you were coming over."

Louis looked at him as Shane stepped back and let him enter. "Lads, you have a press conference in and hour, you should be well out of bed by now."

Shane looked at the clock and realised it was half eleven in the morning. Nicky got off the bed and walked over to Shane. Shane put an arm around him and felt him trembling.

"Shane, I know what you were doing last night. And I don’t care, the problem is that the whole nation, or make that the whole world, will soon know what you did last night as well." Louis threw a paper in front of them. "This will come out at noon today."

Shane gasped at the explicitly of the picture. He had his hand on Nicky’s butt, while one of Nicky’s hands was resting on his crotch, and the other was on his neck pulling him closer. No way they could dismiss that as something they just did for a laugh, the passion was so obvious. He made a mental note that he would never drink again.

Nicky shook his head and broke into tears. Shane quietly led Nicky to the bed and sat him down. Not caring about Louis’ burning gaze he gently stroked Nicky’s face.

"Nix, it’s ok… it’s ok, it’ll all come out alright..." he moved his arms around Nicky and pulled him into a tight embrace. "I love you Nicky, we’ll make this… shhhh…"

He looked up at Louis while biting his lip, still holding Nicky’s sobbing form. "What will we do?"

Louis sighed, he felt a bit sorry for the pair. He hadn’t really been that mad, more worried about what this would do to Westlife’s career. "You’re going to get asked about it during the press conference, I’m certain. Just tell them the truth. It’ll be all over the press starting this evening then… I think that’s the best way."

Louis smiled, "Just show them that you love each other. If you show as much affection as I’ve seen displayed the past few months, they can’t say much!"

"Tell me is it really true
This feelin' that I feel for you
Your own kind of lovin'
That makes me think nothing
Could ever take the place of you"

The press conference dragged. At least for Shane and Nicky. They knew the question would come, but they were cruelly held in suspense. Kian was sitting on the other side of Shane, and Shane could feel his pity. He looked at Nicky, hoping he’d be able to take it. He looked a bit distressed.

"So, lads, in this afternoon’s tabloids there was a story about Shane and Nicky. What have you got to say about that?"

Nicky trembled slightly and looked at Shane. Shane smiled reassuringly and answered. "Me and Nicky have been dating for almost a year," it seemed the room went really quiet with his admittance and suddenly he had everyone’s full attention. He reached over and took Nicky’s hand, much to calm him down.

"Yes, we do. We’re in love…" The room was still quite still, a few more question came up then the subject was dropped.

Facing the fans was another nerve wrecker. Almost fifty fans had been standing outside, seeing and hearing the press conference. Nicky was visibly nervous and Shane put an arm around him. "I’m here… no matter what happens Nicky, I’ll always love you. Relax, it will be all right." Nicky nodded slowly and they went outside.

Well outside they split and busied themselves signing autographs and having pictures taken. The subject wasn’t mentioned until someone asked Nicky how much he loved Shane. He couldn’t really find a comparison; Shane just meant the world to him.

Shane smiled, "You want to know how much I love Nicky too?" Shane asked, and Nicky could tell by the twinkle in his eyes that he was up to something. She nodded shyly.

"This much," Shane pulled Nicky to him and placed a passionate kiss on his surprised boyfriend’s lips. As people around them started to cheer and clap, they both agreed that the strength of their love could not possibly be justified by words.

"And it's so funny funny
What you do, honey, honey
What you do, what you mean to me
And you know, honey, honey
Though it's so funny funny
That you mean all the world to me"
