I didn't want to open my eyes. The morning light was slowly illuminating the room, and I was sprawled on Gerard's bed, partially on his chest. His breathing was slow and steady, and his hand rested on my back. I lifted my head. He was so cute in sleep, his gorgeous face relaxed, his pink lips slightly parted and totally tempting. After a moment's consideration, I leant down and gently began kissing him, drawing him out of his sleep. His mouth drowsily began moving in sync with my own as he gradually woke up. I pulled away when he seemed fully conscious, and he made an annoyed noise, still laced with fatigue. I giggled, and kissed his chest. "Good morning, sleepyhead," I smirked against his pale skin. He ran a hand through my loose, messy hair, catching on a few of the tangles he'd creating during the night. "Hey," he murmured. "Best wake-up call ever." I laughed at that, and leant down to kiss him again. This time, he took control, flipping me over almost effortlessly so thay he lay on top, and kissing me a lot rougher than I'd kissed him. I didn't mind, though, in fact I much preferred his methods. I'd just gotten really into it when a clomping sound rang from the basement stairs. He rolled off me, and quickly pulled the sheets up to our chins, concealing our still-bare bodies. The door creaked open, and Mikey strode in, then stopped suddenly as he took in the two of us curled up together in the same bed. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod guys are you- I mean- seriously?" He appeared incapable of natural speech. I felt a blush burn my cheeks, but Gee just laughed and waved a hand. "Dude, we're dating, what the hell were you expecting?" Mikey's wide eyes flashed back and forth between us. A grin slowly formed on his face, and he began some form of bunny-hop/dance/fit thing. "I knew it! I knew it I knew it I knew it!" His little chant continued as he leapt about. Gee and I exchanged looks. "Knew what, bro?" Gerard's voice was timid, like he wasn't really sure if he wanted the answer. "I knew you two were perfect for each other!" He skipped over and drew both of us into a hug, awkward because we were still laid down and holding the cover to conceal our bodies. Mikey giggled and stepped away from us. "You're so busted," he grinned mischievously. Gerard opened his mouth, but was cut off. "Chill, dude, I won't say anything to Mom and Dad. It's cool. Anyway, the guys are coming over, you might wanna get some clothes on." He winked at us before hopping away. I swear that boy can't simply walk, he always bounces or something. Gerard sighed, and we reluctantly got out of bed, took a shower - together - and pulled on some clothes. I was just lacing my boots when the stampede that was our friends came tumbling down the stairs. They all burst through the door, much to Gee's annoyance. "Can you guys not knock or something?" This earned looks and sniggers from them, and Frank replied, "Oh, sorry, we forgot, this is a love-nest now." And they all broke out laughing. I glanced at Gee, who was glaring at his younger brother. "Mikey... You said you wouldn't tell." Mikey giggled like a schoolgirl and squeaked "I promised I wouldn't tell our parents," he corrected. Gerard rolled his eyes, while I turned a deeper shade of crimson, much to their amusement. "Is there a reason you're all here?" I asked, my voice laced with embarassment and annoyance. Frank pulled a mock offended face. "Why, Krissy, do you mean to say you aren't delighted by our presence?" His fake, overdone imitation of my accent sent me into giggles. Mikey grinned and then yelled "The guys are here so we're hangin' out for the day, obviously!" I smiled wider at that. With everything going on lately, we hadn't had much hang-out time, and I missed it, I missed the guys. I laughed enthusiastically and grinned, "What are we gonna do?" They all exchanged looks. I got the feeling they hadn't planned that far ahead. "Comic book store?" Ray suggested, and was met with happy calls of agreement. So we walked to the nearest comic shop and spent over an hour shopping, browsing, touching everything and buying very little. This earned us glares from the staff there, but we ignored them. Or in Frank's case, smiled very sweetly at them, which pissed them off even more, much to his amusement. We came out with our miniscule amount of purchases, choking with laughter at Ray's imitation of Batman's voice. "Dude, you honestly sound like you're choking," Gee managed to get out through his shaking laughter. Ray pulled a face, pouting, which sent me into another round of stomach-clutching giggles. Mikey giggled in response and clutched my arm to help me keep my balance. Frank sprung on that like a kitten on a ball of wool. "Oooooh, Gee, better.watch your back! Your baby bro's got his hands on your girl!" Mikey let go of me to punch Frank's shoulder. "Ow, hey! I was kidding!" He rubbed the spot where Mikey had hit him. I stuck my tongue out childishly, making everybody laugh again, and the subject dropped. But, I noticed Gerard's face a moment later, it had clouded over and he was throwing glances at his brother in what looked like suspicion. But it couldn't be, could it? I caught his arm and slowed our pace slightly, falling behind the others. "What's up?" He shook his head, but I pressed on. "You didn't take Frank seriously, right? He was kidding, I wouldn't-" Gee cut me off. "I know, Kriss, I know you wouldn't. I just... Maybe I got a little jealous, okay? I mean, you're gorgeous and lovely, and he must see that, and I just-" I stopped his flow of words by pressing my lips to his gently. "I love you, Gerard Arthur Way, and nobody else. Don't be jealous, especially not with your own brother." He smiled. "I know, I'm sorry. I love you too." And he sped up to catch up to the guys. I frowned. The troubled look hadn't left his eyes. Was he lying about not being jealous? But I mean, it's not like I was making out with Mikes or anything. Or was there something else?

Notes

I AM SO SORRY. I've been swamped with work lately, I have really important exams coming up, college interviews, shitloads of art coursework... I haven't had much time to write. But here it is! I realized I hadn't included Frank and Ray much, so I tried to work them back in again, and voila! Oh, and can I just point out, this has hit and passed 2000 views! I love you guys so much! I honestly didn't think I'd get so much, but look! You people make me so happy :3 x
