The Mistake
The End
June 18th, Sunday
Eighteen year old Gerard Way stood in the doorway of the Way estate, staring apathetically at the furniture inside. It was all so foreign, yet so familiar. The ornate couches and chairs reminded him of the day it all ended, yet it brought nothing but sorrow on his part.
It had been a week since the small Iero-Way family had legally moved into the inherited manor. It was currently almost two am, and he, being the only member awake, was collecting his thought.
He had graduated high school shortly after he turned eighteen, but it had taken longer than expected to retrieve the deed to the property. Afterwards, they had taken their time packing up and putting the old house on the market, letting Frank and Juliet say goodbye to the place they had lived for more that nineteen years.
Fifteen year old Mikey had stood next to his brother quietly, watching solemnly as the family left everything they had ever known. He knew the severity of the situation just as well as Gerard did, so he kept his comments to himself.
About a month after the trial, Gerard and Frank's undefined relationship had become official after Frank asked him on a date. They were a slow-going couple, keeping it comfortable for the newbie of relationships.
Everything was going well for the time being. He was happy, sans the living conditions. Maybe if he just--
"Gerard." He turned his head, his eyes landing on Frank, who stood in the kitchen threshold, smiling tiredly and holding a glass of water. "Come back to bed, hun." He beckoned Gerard with his other hand lazily.
He beamed at his boyfriend and took his hand. They walked slowly up the stairs and curled onto the bed, not touching each other (no man wants to be cuddled in their sleep), but just looking at each other. They kissed briefly before closing their eyes and letting sleep overtake them. Tomorrow would be a day full of comic book drawing and dog grooming.
Tomorrow would be another chance for Gerard to live his life like he hadn't for fourteen years.
