The Origin of The Zodiac
***Mikey***
”Bye mom, I’ll see you after work.”
Mikey crawled out of the tent and straightened his skirt. He sighed as he brushed the leaves and twigs from the tops of his knee socks. One day he will have enough money to buy the right school uniform. That is if he ever had enough money that was not going towards going to school in the first place. Mikey looked up at the sky. It was another beautiful spring day. He gathered his satchel across his chest and started on his walk to school.
Living in a tent had not been so bad. He was lucky that he found a forest area close enough to the school and his job with a little clearing enough to set up camp. As he walked, he looked at the beauty of nature around him. He wished he could do something like draw or paint it, but Mikey knew had no talent for those kinds of things. Even if he could, he would never be able to afford the supplies to keep it up. Just another pipe dream. Mikey was walking down the high path when he noticed a house he had not seen before. It was bigger than his childhood home, so he wondered why he did not see it before. Mikey carefully made his way down the slope to get a closer look. He hoped it wasn’t inhabited by some crazy guy with a shotgun or something. As he got closer, he saw that there was a little table set up with painted rocks drying in the sun. Mikey was feeling bold at the moment and crept in for a closer look. They were delicate in nature and well defined. Mikey could easily see that they were of the signs of the zodiac. He saw his own symbol of the dog there and reached out to pet it when the door to the porch opened and a man stepped out. They looked at each other for a moment and then Mikey stood straight up and started to stammer.
”I-I-I’m sorry, please forgive me, I didn’t touch anything, honestly I didn’t.”
The man cocked his head at Mikey and Mikey began to blush. He realized that the guy just noticed that he was a boy in a skirt. A smile spread over the man’s face and he stepped out onto the porch and closed the door. He sat down on the steps next to the little table. He picked up one of the rocks and smoothed it in his hand.
”It’s okay, they seem to have dried now. Are you interested in the zodiac?”
”Oh yes, but I notice you do not have the Cat?”
”Oh, you know about the Cat?”
Without realizing it, Mikey launched into a conversation he had with his mother when he was very young. He told the man about the story his mother told him.
”One day God announced a banquet and invited all the animals to his house for the feast the next night. The Rat, who liked to play tricks, told the Cat that the banquet was not until the evening after tomorrow. The Cat believed him and went to sleep. Because of this he was not there the next evening with all the other animals. The Rat made sure that he was first in line by pleading with the Ox that he would never get to the banquet without help. As a result, the Rat is the first animal to start the zodiac. Since the Cat never made it to the banquet, he was shunned by God and the other animals and left out of the zodiac.”
”That is so sad mom! Why would the Rat do that, he is a meanie head! I-I-I am giving up my sign so I can be the Cat. I don’t want him to be left out anymore.”
When Mikey finished his story he looked at the man who was smiling with amusement. Mikey blushed that he had just told a complete stranger such an intimate moment in his young life. He looked down towards his feet and ground his toe into the dirt.
”I wonder what the Cat would think to know he has a fan?”
”Huh?”
”Nothing, nothing. So I see by the uniform, you go to the school nearby?”
”Um yeah, I’m a sophomore there.”
”Ah, any reason for the choice of uniform?”
Mikey looked away again and mumbled.
”They thought I was a girl when I enrolled. They thought my name was Michaella because of a typo.”
”And what is your name?”
”Michael, but I prefer Mikey.”
”It suits you, as does the uniform.”
Mikey had never received so many compliments at once. He thought if he blushed anymore, he would pass out.
”So a girl’s uniform from the sister school was sent to your home instead of a boy's then?”
”Um…yeah.”
”Well why not go and buy the right one and exchange it?”
”I-I-I really can’t afford it and…”
”Brendon, stop putting the boy on the spot and stop leering at him.”
Mikey looked up as a satchel connected with, now Brendon’s head. He saw that the satchel was being held by none other than Gerard Way, the proclaimed Prince of the school. Mikey went even redder now when he realized what Gerard had said. Gerard looked at Mikey and smiled.
”Besides, I think the uniform looks good. It suits you Michael.”
”Um..thank you Sr. Way.”
”Please no formalities, just call me Gerard.”
”Okay, G-G-Gerard.”
”I apologize for my cousin’s rude behavior. Sometimes he has trouble controlling himself.”
”I was a perfect gentleman I assure you!”
”Uh huh, I don’t think that your body agrees with you though.”
All three boys looked down at the same time and saw that Brendon was sporting a decent tent in his pants. Brendon covered himself up and Mikey blushed furiously. He saw Gerard's smirk as he descended the stairs and stepped up to Mikey.
”Would you mind if I accompanied you to school today Michael?”
”O-O-Only if you call me Mikey, you know since you asked me to call you Gerard.”
”Well then, you have to call me Gee, deal?”
”S-S-Sure G-Gee.”
Mikey felt Gerard remove his satchel and take it on his own person. He then linked his arm into Mikey’s elbow.
”All right Bren, we are off, see you later today.”
”Right Gee, have a good day at school. You too Mikey.”
”Thank you Brendon.”
Gerard pulled on Mikey a little and they were off down the path again to the school.

***Bert***
”Shut up, I did so!”
”Nuh uh, I would have heard about it.”
”Well we were off that weekend so I couldn’t tell you could I?”
”You could have called or texted me!”
”Maybe I just wanted to savor the moment for a bit.”
”Whoa hold up, who the fuck is that?”
Jepha and Quinn stopped arguing and turned to look where Bert was pointing. Their jaws dropped as they saw their Prince walking with some girl!
”She can’t do that…can she?”
”Of course not! No one can get that close to Prince Way!”
”I almost did.”
Jepha and Bert both turned to glare at Quinn.
”Well I did. I told you I did!”
”Shut up you two, this is not the time. We have to find out who that skank is and teach her a lesson!”
”Right!”
Jepha and Quinn answered Bert in unison. They struck a silly pose, which was their official Prince Way club stance. They saluted Bert and he saluted them back. Then they followed behind the Prince and strange girl to see where they were going. They watched as the two of them talked, disgusted at how the Prince kept making the girl laugh. She wasn't even that pretty. No real curves, but awkwardness instead that showed her age. One of her knee socks kept slouching down and she would stop the Prince to keep picking it up. Finally the Prince stopped them both and the boys gasped in shock as he got down on his knees in front of her and fixed the sock so that it stayed up.
”Did he just…?!”
”He did, he totally copped a feel!”
”No way! Our Prince would never do that!”
They looked back over and saw that the Prince was now smoothing the sock up the girl’s leg to the top. As he got back up he kept his hand on her and he brushed part of her bare thigh. It took all their will power to not charge them right now! Bert was seething. She would pay dearly for what she was making the Prince do. It had to be her, she was corrupting him! Bert just noticed that he the Prince was carrying her school satchel. This made him growl. She probably forced him to do it. He was just too polite to say no. Once the two were on their way again, the three followed once more.
”Didn’t we pass the Sakuragaoka Girls’ High School already Bert?”
”Yeah we did and we are in the wrong direction for the Kita Prefectural High School.”
”So where are they going then?”
The three continued behind until they noticed they were getting close to their school. As they rounded the corner, Kaibara High School loomed in front of them.
”Maybe she is walking him to school first and then going to her own?”
”Or maybe…no.”
They watched in horror as the two walked into the gates together. The prince turned to the girl and took her satchel off and handed it to her. At that moment a slight breeze blew and the girls face was revealed to be a boy, but not just any boy. The only one in the school who was wearing a girl’s uniform, Michael Rush. Bert was seething to the point where he was seeing red. He should have recognized the color of the skirt to match their pants. No one knew why Michael got away with wearing the skirt, but he did. None of the teachers said anything and Michael was such a good guy that no one even picked on him about it. That made Bert even angrier. He smoothed his uniform down and picked up his pace as he sauntered towards the gates. Jepha and Quinn had to run to catch him. As he went past the gates he stopped where the two were.
”Good Morning Prince Way.”
”Good morning Robert. Lovely morning is it not?”
”Yes it is my Prince.”
Bert was reeling. Prince Way had spoken to him and even asked him his opinion. It would have been even more perfect if Michael had not been there too. The slight breeze came by again and this time it swooped upwards and threatened Michael’s skirt. He squeaked and tamped it down. Bert chuckled and sneered at him.
”See, that is why it is so much easier to wear pants Michael.”
”I um…”
”Yes, it is easier, but it takes great courage to not always take the easier route in life.”
Bert was abashed, Prince Way reached up and took Michael’s hand in his. He linked their fingers and leaned over like he was going to kiss him. Bert held his breath, but instead Prince Way came up with a leaf in his fingers that he had plucked from Michael’s hair. Bert saw Michael swallow and blush. At the moment Quinn and Jepha arrived. They both said hello to the Prince, but he did not answer in the same way he had with Bert. It made Bert feel good. He felt special. The five of them walked up to the door and Bert watched as Michael and The Prince parted ways, but not before he heard something he did not like at all.
”Would you like to walk home again later?”
”Sorry, I have to work after school.”
”Alright, well I am sure we will see each other again. Later Mikey.”
”Have a good day Gee.”
They left down the opposite directions in the hallway. Bert stood stock still.
”Bert?”
”Hey yo Bert, what’s wrong?”
”He called him Gee…He fucking called him Gee!”
”Yeah, so?”
”No one is allowed to address the Prince without formality!”
”Yeah, but he called him Mikey so maybe…”
”NOBODY!”
The other students stopped in the hall when Bert shouted. He glared at them and they all turned away and returned to their own business. Bert began to run down the hall to catch Mikey. He would get to the bottom of this mystery right now.
***Mikey***
Mikey walked down the hall to his locker. He could not believe the morning that he just had. Running into Sr. Way…uh, Gerard, and having him walk with him to school. He was a little nervous though when the Prince Way Fan Club came over to them. He could tell that Bert was not happy with him. He knew the situation was not over, and he was right. Suddenly Bert was right there with his idiot followers, Jepha and Quinn, with his fist in the locker next to Mikey’s. Mikey jumped at the sound, but he was surrounded by them and no help in sight.
”So Mikey, you were getting pretty cozy with Prince Way there huh?”
”N-N-No, not really.”
”Really? Then why did he walk you to school?”
”I-I-I just ran into him on my way here, that’s all.”
”I see, and he just happened to help you with your stocking too?”
”Y-Y-You saw that? I told him he did not have to, but he insisted!”
”Sure he did Mikey, sure he did. Look Prince Way is off limits so stop trying to get with him!”
”I-I-I-I wasn’t! He just…and then I…”
”Is there a problem gentleman?”
Just as Mikey was about to have a panic attack he heard the voice of his best friend Tommy along with the sound of Tommy’s knuckles cracking. The Way Club backed off Mikey at the sound.
”You don’t scare us you juvenile delinquent , just go back to your old school!”
”Oh really?”
”Y-Y-Yeah, what are you gonna do about it?”
Tommy stepped forward and fake lunged at them. They all jumped back and Mikey would have laughed if he was still not trying to swallow his heart back down. He felt a presence and then a black aura surrounded the club members.
”Zacky.”
The club turned around slowly as Mikey’s psychic friend Zack showed up and whispered something to them that made then turn white. They scampered down the hallway fast after that. Mikey felt Tommy’s arms circle around him and he pushed into the feeling.
”Mikey, Mikey, my poor Mikey, are you alright?”
”Yes Tommy, I’m fine. Hi Zacky. How are you today?”
”There is a great cloud of sadness over my heart, but seeing you make it a little more bearable.”
Zack was always saying stuff like that so Mikey was used to it. Tommy and Zack were unusual for themselves, but they were perfect friends for Mikey. He smiled at Zack and Zack smiled back.
”Come on you two, let’s get to class before those idiots come back and try again to be intimidating…ha!”
Now Mikey could laugh because the danger was passed. He knew that Tommy and Zack would always be there for him and protect him from danger or himself, he was pretty clumsy after all. The three of them walked down the hall arm in arm and chatted about the upcoming day.

Mikey was exhausted. After a day of school he had to change and go directly to his job. He was on a cleaning crew for one of the big office buildings in town. He really worked hard to show them that he needed the job, but it often left him drained when he got home. Today though, he was a little more tired than usual. He also felt a little warmer than usual too. Mikey dismissed it as he made his way home on the path and through the forest to his clearing. The path he took home from his job was different than the one to work so he did not see the house again where Gerard lived with his cousin. Mikey crawled into the tent and greeted his mom.
”Hey mom, sorry that I got home so late, I had to work extra because one of the guys called out. Ugh, I have so much homework to do too and I am so tired.”
Mikey rummaged around in a box for his bathing items. He was lucky that there was a stream not too far from where the tent was. He took his showers at school after gym class, but he still liked to clean up a little before bed. He gathered his items in a small basin and backed out of the tent telling his mom he would be right back.
***Gerard***
”Ahh that was so good. I wish we could eat like that every day at home.”
”Well we would Bren if you knew how to cook.”
”I can cook!”
”I can only eat curry so many times before I get sick and besides, you ruin the rice every time.”
”Yeah you're right Gee. What we need is a cook…and a housekeeper since we are both horrible at keeping up our rooms.”
”Speak for yourself, I keep my room looking nice.”
Gerard and Brendon were taking the long route home from where they ate. The stars were shining brightly and Gerard could not help sighing. His life was so boring and routine. School, home, lessons, eating out, and then home again. This morning was the first time anything interesting had happened to him in a long time. Running into Michael Rush was amazing. He had such a different outlook on life and things, even though he was clearly given the shorter end of the stick. He always seemed to be smiling and in good spirits. Gerard would see him around school laughing with two other students. They appeared to be close friends and Gerard often wondered what it was like to have friends.
”Hey Gee?”
Gerard snapped out of his daze as Brendon touched him lightly on the shoulder.
”Yeah Bren?”
”What did you think of Mikey today?”
”He seemed nice like he always is in school.”
”Didn’t you find it strange that he was on the property?”
”No, it is a lot of land so maybe he just wandered around it.”
”Yeah, but the house is pretty far in, and the only nearby landmark is the forest and stream and…wait what’s that?”
Gerard looked up from the path and followed where Brendon was pointing. There was a small tent in the middle of a clearing that was surrounded by their forest. He watched as a small figure backed out of the tent and stood up. They were wearing soft colored pajama pants and a loose tee shirt. Even without the skirt, Gerard would recognize Michael’s body shape anywhere. Michael walked off in the direction of the small stream.
”Well that explains why he was near the house this morning. I wonder how long he has been living there.”
”Could not have been long, we would have known about it.”
”We can’t let him stay there. It is too dangerous out here, and its near the area where landslides frequently occur.”
Gerard sighed, he knew Brendon was right. Still there had to be a reason why Michael was there and not safe and warm with his family in a normal house. He hoped that it was not a domestic issue and that someone had not been hurting him. Gerard would not stand for anyone hurting his Mikey…wait a minute his?
Brendon and him worked their way down the side of the shallow dirt cliff. They got to the tent just in time to see Michael trudging back looking exhausted and quite red. As he approached he stopped and looked up at them. Gerard could not help but smile as Michael tilted his head much like Brendon does when questioning something. Michael truly did embody the Dog.
”Um…hi?”
”Hi Mikey.”
”Um…did you guys need something?”
”Actually we were wondering what you were doing here?”
”Well…this is where I live.”
”You live here…by yourself?”
”Oh no, my mom lives here too.”
”Your mom?”
”Yeah and oh…I forgot my toothbrush at the water edge, I will be right back.”
Michael staggered a bit and then swayed as he turned to leave again. All of a sudden his knees buckled and he collapsed.
”Mikey!”
Gerard ran over to him and touched his face, he was burning up! Brendon was at his side as Gerard scooped Mikey up in his arms.
”He has a pretty bad fever! Come on, we need to get him to the house and in bed.”
”Right, I’ll go get his mom, you head back to the house.”
Gerard did not even wait for him before he took off. Michael looked so pale and small in his arms. He got to the house and went straight to his room. Michael’s skin was so hot against his own that he started to tingle
”Oh shit, not now!”
Just as Gerard reached the door a puff of smoke surrounded him and he was changed once again. He sighed, thankful that Michael was still passed out. He tucked him into the bed and placed just the sheet over his body. At that moment Brendon arrived.
”Wow, he was that hot huh?”
”Yeah…um is his mom downstairs? I don’t need her seeing me like this.”
”Um Gee, I don’t think his mom is alive.”
”What? But he said he lives with her?”
”Yeah, there was a picture of his mom next to incense burning.”
”A Shrine.”
”Yeah, I think Mikey is on his own.”
”I never knew, I mean he never let people know in school and…”
”Look, I’ll watch him. You go take care of yourself.”
”Yeah, yeah, okay. Thanks Bren.”
”Wish I could help this time.”
Gerard turned to see Brendon smirking before he closed the door.
”Yeah, I’ll bet you do.”
***Mikey***
Mikey woke up and stretched out. He was warm and comfy. It felt like his old bed, but that was not possible since he knew he was sleeping on the cold ground. He figured it must be a dream so he rolled over and tried to take in more of it, but the sunlight from the window was blinding him and wait…sunlight? Window? Mikey sat bolt up and realized he was not in his tent, but in someone’s bedroom. He tried to remember last night, but everything was fuzzy and out of focus still.
”Easy there tiger slow down or you’ll get dizzy.”
Mikey looked up at the voice of Brendon leaning in the doorway. He was holding a tray with some soup and tea on it. Brendon placed it down on the tray next to the bed. Mikey scooted back on the bed to the wall behind it.
”What happened?”
”You fainted last night after coming back from the water. Gee noticed that you were burning up so he brought you here to recover.”
”Wait, I’m in G-G-Gerard’s bed?”
”Yeah, but don’t worry he was a gentleman and slept on the floor.”
Mikey looks down and sees a mat set up with blankets that were already folded.
”Mom! Where’s my mom? I left her in the tent!”
”Calm down Mikey, we got your mom along with all your other stuff out of the landslide.”
”Wait, what?”
Brendan sat down on the bed. He reached up and patted Mikey’s thigh.
”One of the reasons we came down to talk to you was that you picked a very dangerous area of our property to set up camp.”
”Your property? I thought it was just a forest.”
”Actually we own most of the surrounding area almost to the school.”
Mikey looked up and saw Gerard. He was wearing a black pair of pajama pants that Mikey was pretty sure were made of silk and a matching robe that hung open exposing his pale chest. Mikey looked out the window to avoid Gerard, and Brendon seeing the blush that was creeping up his neck to his face.
”S-S-So you said it was d-d-dangerous?”
”Yeah, the area is prone to landslides and we had one last night. It pretty much buried your tent.”
”But then how did you get my stuff out and mom?”
”I have my ways.”
Mikey looked back at Gerard and saw that he was smiling as he sipped from the cup of coffee he was holding.
”T-T-Thank you for saving mom.”
”How long as she been gone now?”
Mikey looked at Brendon who still had his hand on his thigh.
”A few months now. When she died, my father’s family wanted nothing to do with me, but my grandfather took me in. We were alright for a while, but then we had that big storm and it caused the roof to cave in on part of the house. Grandpa had to go live with his daughter and her husband. They have two kids and were already cramped with Grandpa. So I told him that I would go and stay with one of my friends. This was of course impossible since Tommy lives with his drunken dad and Zacky lives in a one bedroom apartment. I knew it was only for a little while so I set up a tent in what I thought was a public forest clearing. I knew I would have to think of something when winter came, but that is still a few months away and maybe the roof will be fixed before then and…”
Mikey realized that he was babbling now so he picked up the tea on the little table and began to drink it. It tasted heavenly.
”Wow, this is really good!”
”Family recipe.”
”Mmmmm.”
Mikey realized that with his tent gone, he would have to find something else. Maybe he could talk to the manager of the building he cleans and see if he can sack out on one of the couches in the break room. He would think of something. Mikey looked up at the clock and realized that it was getting close to school time.
”Um…do you have my uniform? It is getting close to school time.”
”Sure, I’ll get it, we washed it for you.”
”You didn’t have to do that, but thank you.”
”Well we wouldn’t let you go to school in a dirty uniform now, would we?”
Brendon gave Mikey’s thigh an affectionate squeeze and then got up and moved out the door and Gerard entered the room fully. He sat down on the bed closer than Brendon had and lifted up the bowl of soup.
”You haven’t eaten yet.”
”Oh it’s alright, I will get a piece of bread at school.”
”Michael, you collapsed yesterday. You are already sick, if you do not eat properly you will get even more ill.”
”Really, I am used to not eating and…”
Gerard turned a tense gaze on Mikey when he said that. It was true that Mikey did not have enough money to eat properly anymore. He would grab a piece of bread at school for breakfast and then save his school lunch for dinner. Sometimes he would share lunch with Tommy or Zacky, but that was only when they realized he was not eating. Mikey would just pretend that he was not hungry at those times. He watched as Gerard furrowed his brow and picked up the spoon in the soup bowl and brought it over to Mikey and held it under his nose. It smelled heavenly.
”Blow on it, it’s still hot.”
Mikey did what he was told and lightly pursed his lips to gently blow on the hot liquid. He then carefully opened his mouth as he took the now slightly cooled broth in. Mikey closed his eyes and let out a groan as the delicious flavor slid down his throat. It had been so long since he had anything as good as this. He licked his lips to savor the taste and immediately opened his mouth for more. When none came he opened his eyes and saw that Gerard was staring at him. It was at that moment he realized what he did and he flushed red.
”S-S-S-Sorry, it was j-j-just really good soup and I have not had anything like th-th-that in a while and…”
Mikey jumped as he felt Gerard’s hand on his cheek. It caressed it lightly and Gerard had this intense look in his eyes like he could see into Mikey’s soul. Mikey’s heart began to beat rapidly and Gerard seemed like he was going to say something to him, but then Brendon showed up with his uniform and the moment was lost. Gerard took the uniform from Brendon and after getting up lay it down on the bed.
”We will leave you to get dressed then.”
”Th-Thanks.”
***Gerard***
Gerard was intrigued. Michael was just amazing. Dealing with the death of his mom, his father’s family shunning him, except his grandfather and then sacrificing for the same man so he could live during the repairs to his house. Gerard suddenly had an epiphany.
”Hey Bren, I think Mikey pays his own way at school. That is why the uniform and not eating, along with the tent.”
”But the cost of the school is just…and what do you mean not eating?”
”He admitted to only eating one meal a day along with a slice of bread for breakfast.”
”No wonder the boy got sick!”
”He sleeps in a tent, goes to school, goes to work, comes home and bathes in a stream, and then I bet he does his school work into the night before he passes out.”
”Well we can’t allow this to continue. We should offer to help him with some money.”
”Michael is too proud to take money from us.”
”We could at least offer to buy him the proper uniform.”
”I kind of like him in the skirt and knee socks.”
”Yeah me too.”
”Well what if we asked him to work for us?”
”Doing what?”
”Well you said it yourself, we need a housekeeper. We already know that he is working on a cleanup crew for a building so it will be natural fit. Plus we can offer him a living arrangement so he does not feel like he is taking charity from us. Room and board for service, ya see?”
”Yeah, but what about the family curse?”
"Spring has just started and winter is too far away still. By then he will be back with his grandfather most likely. Come on, you have a better idea, or do you want to see him living in the woods again where he can get sick and hurt?”
The thought of Michael ending up like this again cemented it for Gerard.
”All right, after school, I will invite him back, if he does not have to work, and we will talk about it.”
”Awesome, now you need to go get dressed for school yourself.”
”Right okay.”
Gerard left Brendon in the den and went upstairs to his room. He figured Michael would be dressed by now. He knocked on the door lightly.
”Michael are you done yet?”
There was no answer so Gerard assumed that Michael had already left the room. He opened the door and was met with the sight of Michael bent over smoothing his knee highs up. His skirt was riding high up in the back and Gerard glimpsed the stripped pattern of girl’s panties.
”Shimapan.”
Gerard saw Michael jump as he spoke the word. Michael flushed and smoothed down his skirt in the back. He grabbed his satchel and flung it on his shoulder.
”S-S-S-Sorry, I took too long. I’ll just g-g-g-go now and…”
Michael had circled around Gerard and was trying to back out of the room, but found that he missed the doorway and hit the wall instead. Gerard was breathing heavy. Michael looked so good right now. He closed in on him, knowing that Michael was staring at him wide eyed.
”Mikey.”
***Mikey***
Gerard had him pinned against the wall. He was tracing his finger down his jaw and making Mikey shiver.
”I bet you didn’t think I noticed you huh?”
Mikey blushed. That was exactly what he thought. He was just a wallflower who just tried to get through his life without making waves. In fact, this was the most waves he had made in a long time. Gerard had so many admirers that he could not have possibly noticed him. Mikey didn’t get a chance to think about anything else as Gerard pushed closer to him and was ghosting his lips. He still had no shirt on and now he was pressed against Mikey and he could feel the heat from his chest through his uniform. Mikey waited, holding his breath for Gerard to push in for an actual kiss when a rumble shook the room and Gerard looked at the ceiling. He frowned and quickly pulled Mikey out of the way as the ceiling collapsed where Mikey just was standing near the doorway and another boy jumped down from the roof. He had no shirt on and was covered in tattoos. Mikey was breathless, part from being pushed down by Gerard to protect him, because this guy just crashed through the roof like it was nothing.
”Yo.”
He stood up and cracked his neck. Mikey could not help, but shudder at the sound. The guy looked over at them, but his focus was on Gerard. He smirked.
”Way.”
”Iero.”
With no warning the boy, Iero, lunged at Gerard with his fists. Mikey was going to shout a warning to Gerard, but Gerard brought his own palm out and stopped the punch like it was nothing. The force pushed Iero back to the other side of the room.
”You bore me you know that Iero.”
”Oh, then allow me to bore you some more!”
After that it was an all-out brawl…well that is not the word for it. Mikey thought he was trapped in a 70’s Kung Fu movie, without bad dubbing. The moves were like lightning from each boy and neither one seem to be getting the upper hand. Iero fought hard to get through Gerard’s defenses, but Gerard appeared to have to do very little to block him. This seemed to frustrate Iero more. He pulled an amazing move where he kicked off the corner of the wall and rammed his foot straight into Gerard’s chest…at least that was where it should have landed, but instead Gerard moved and Iero smashed a good sized hole in the wall. This was not far from where Mikey was sprawled out on the floor watching the two go at it. Suddenly the room became unbearably warm. The temperature quickly increased and Mikey started to sweat. He looked at the floor next to him and saw a round plastic object. He picked it up and realized it was a temperature gauge.
”Um g-g-g-uys?”
The grunting of the two continued as he called out to them.
”H-H-Hey guys!”
Iero was in the middle of a roundhouse kick that Gerard had put his arms up to block when he caught their attention. Mikey blushed how they both were looking at him now. He also noticed that they were both sweating a lot. Gerard lost his robe during the fight and was now completely naked from the waist up.
”Um…this came off the wall during the fight.”
Mikey held the object up for them to see. Gerard’s eyes went wide and both boys looked at each other. They both dropped their fighting stances and looked at Mikey.
”Um…Michael, would you be so kind as to get Brendon and let him know what happened.”
”Yeah, like now!”
Mikey was startled by the way Iero had spoken to him, but he was on his way out the door quickly.
***Gerard***
”Fuck Iero, you didn’t have to talk to him like that!”
”Well I don’t have time to fucking be nice when we are about to change! You want that little freak to find out our secret!?”
”We wouldn’t have to worry about it if you had better aim! And don’t call him a little freak!"
”Well what the fuck Way? I thought he was a chick at first being in a skirt, and I did have good aim, I was aiming for you dipshit, you’re the idiot that had to move!”
”Well I wasn’t going to stand there and let you connect!”
Gerard stopped arguing with Frank when he felt the tingle in his body. The temperature had risen much too high to contain them any longer. With a puff of smoke, the two boys now were sporting ears and a tail. Frank narrowed his cat ears towards Gerard as his tail twitched in anger. He crossed his arms and stood there, pouting like a child. Gerard felt his rounded rat ears sticking up on his head and reached back to calm his long thin tail. He looked at Frank and made a gesture with his hand. Frank rolled his eyes, but he agreed. Gerard opened the button in the front of his pajamas as Frank unzipped his jeans and the two boys moved in front of each other.
***Mikey***
Mikey found Brendon quickly, but getting him to come with him was a whole other story. Brendon made so many excuses. First he wanted to finish his tea so it didn’t get cold. Then he wanted a snack so that the tea was not alone. Then he had to pee because he drank the tea too fast. All this seemed unimportant to Mikey, knowing a fight was going on upstairs. Finally Brendon ran out of excuses and followed Mikey up the stairs. Mikey walked down the hall and listened for the sounds of fighting. He did not hear them anymore, but he did hear something else. It sounded like labored breathing and panting. He looked back at Brendon, but Brendon just shrugged his shoulders. Mikey got to the room and went to open the door when he heard a moan. Mikey stopped with his hand on the doorknob and listened.
”Fuck Way, can’t you ever come up with another technique?”
”Why? This works so why should I change it?”
”Because it gets fucking boring, that’s why!”
”I don’t hear you complaining much.”
”Fuck you!”
Mikey heard Gerard chuckle and then gasp out his own breathy sound.
”See, trying new things is better, and it gets you closer faster.”
”Oh fuck Frank, please don’t stop.”
”Ha, knew you would say that.”
”Oh fuck you…fuck me!”
Mikey was about to back off when Brendon moved up right behind him. He felt Brendon push into his back and noticed that he was hard. Mikey looked up at the man and he smiled down at him and placed a finger over his mouth. He reached around and closed his hand over his. Before anything else could happen though Brendon had opened the door and Mikey was met with a sight. The two boys, who were fighting before, were now in the middle of jerking each other off! Their heads were thrown back in ecstasy, but the strange thing was that they were both sporting animal ears and tails! Brendon did not see the plaster from the roof on the floor near the door and he tripped over it, pushing Mikey in the room. He landed on his knees between the two boys. They were both panting and groaning and suddenly they came at the same time without realizing Mikey was there! Cum spurted out of each of their cocks onto Mikey, landing on his upturned face and in his hair. As this happened a puff of smoke appeared and the animal parts disappeared.
”Oh my God.”
Mikey barely spoke above a whisper, but his voice was heard and both boys looked down at him.
”BRENDON!”
Mikey didn’t hear them scream at the man behind him because by then he had fainted.
