Thick As Thieves [Mikey Way]

Drew’s POV

“When is she gonna wake up?”

“Just give her some time.”

“Is she gonna be okay?”

“Yeah. Mikey’s not dead is he?”

“Weeeeeeeell…”

“Oh, you know what I mean.”

As I slowly began the journey back to consciousness, I heard the muffled voice of Gerard and another familiar one.

I groaned gently and moved my head to the side and the voices stopped.

I brought my hand to my head and opened my eyes slowly, looking around groggily.

“Heeeey Killer.”

Only one person in the world called me that.

I smiled weakly.

“Hey Chrissy.” I said quietly then sat up more.

I looked around, a fair bit more alert now.

“Where’s Mikey?” I asked and Christian chuckled.

“Loverboy and Frank went to find blood.” He told me and I felt my face heat up a little.

“Loverboy?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He smirked slightly.

“I’ve been following you and your friends around for a day and I can already tell Mikey is majorly crushing on you. I’m surprised you didn’t notice. He’s making it super obvious and you used to have a fucking radar for these things.” He told me.

“He’s right. Mikey totally looooves you.” Ray chimed in and Gerard nodded in agreement.

I just shook my head.

“No, he isn’t. And he hasn’t made anything obvious…” I said, looking down.

A look of understanding crossed Christian’s face and he nodded.

“Want me to talk to him, Killer?” he asked and I quickly shook my head.

“I would like anything BUT that.” I said and he chuckled slightly.

He smiled slightly and brushed the few stray strands of hair that had fallen into my eyes out of them and put them behind my ear.

Christian and I had always had a very brother/sister relationship.
Not a romantic one at all.
That would just be weird.
I’ve never crushed on him.
He’s never crushed on me.
Simple.

He went to say something but that’s when Frank and Mikey walked back into plain eyesight.
They had two bottles of a red substance that was obviously blood.
They must have found their way back into the city.

Christian gave me a “This isn’t over” look and walked over to Frank and Mikey.

As soon as Mikey noticed I was awake, he shoved the bottles of blood in his arms to Frank and running over to me.

He hugged me tightly, pulling me onto his lap.

“How do you feel?” he asked and I nodded.

“A little dizzy but alive. How can you see?” I asked and he chuckled.

“Perfectly. I can see every detail of your beautiful face.” He said and I blushed, biting my bottom lip.

He just smiled his cute dorky smile at me.

“Can you stand up?” he asked and I shrugged.

“Do you want hel—You just want an excuse to hold my hand don’t you?” he asked, laughing.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.

“You caught me!” I said, laughing loudly.

He laughed too and grabbed both my hands, pulling me to my feet gently.

I tried to stand by myself but I over balanced and fell right into Mikey’s chest.

I blushed a dark red and he chuckled, looking down at me.

“hello.” He said.

I chuckled

“Hello.” I said back and pushed myself off him.

He helped me stand straight this time.

“Hey guys, we need to get going.” Christian said and Mikey nodded.

Before I knew it, the ground beneath my feet disappeared and I squealed as Mikey lifted me into his arms.

We walked until the sun began to go down and Gerard and Frank were about to fall over from exhaustion.

“I think we should rest her for the time being.” Christian said his wolf-leader instincts obvious.

I nodded and Mikey let me down.

Where we had stopped was completely covered by trees no there was no sunlight getting in.
It was perfect.

“Okay. Who’s gonna stand guard for the first four hours?” Christian asked. “Nevermind. I will. Gerard, I’ll wake you up.”

Gerard groaned but obliged.

Mikey helped me lie down by a tree and he lied down next to me.

I smiled and rolled on my side, cuddling close to him.

He just smiled and kissed my forehead.

“I’m really glad you’re okay.” He said and I smiled.

“Just fuck already!” Frank called, lying down next to Gerard.

I laughed and rolled my eyes.
But I knew it would never happen anyway.

Mikey’s POV

I laid with Drew for a few hours, not sleeping.
She was asleep though.

It was quiet and calming.

It may not have been awful comfortable sleeping on grass but it wasn’t too bad.

I heard Christian go to wake up Gerard.

I don’t know.
I just don’t trust him.

I can’t get past that look of guilt he had on his face.

My eyes snapped shut as he walked over in our direction.

I opened one eye just enough to see him, but for him to not see me.

He kneeled in front of Drew and took her hand.

He ran his fingers along her wrist then glanced at me.

I shut my eyes again quickly.

There was a sort of stapler sound and Drew moved in her sleep.

I opened my eyes slightly again and I saw him put her arm down and kiss her forehead.

“I’m so fucking sorry, Drew.” He whispered then stood up.

Just like that, he disappeared off into the forest.

I knew we couldn’t trust him.
