~~~Mikey's POV~~~

My eyes widened as I felt Brendon's lips against my own. They closed and I cupped his cheek, stroking it with my thumb as I kissed him back. His hands held my hips and I tilted my head, opening my mouth ever so slightly when I felt his tongue pressing against my lips. It brushed past my lips and into my mouth, wrestling my own for dominance. We fell back onto my bed. I gave up and let him win before he pulled away, looking down at me. I blushed and nuzzled his neck.
"Brendon..."
"Shhh.. Don't say a word Mikes..."
Our lips met again and I slid my arm around him, pressing up to him. Something hit the window and we broke apart. I ran over to see Kellin and some jocks running off with something that looked like a camera. A ladder was propped up against my window sill. I turned to tell Brendon to find him next to me. His face was pale, his knuckles white as he clenched his fists. I pulled him away from the window and hugged him.
"It's gonna be alright.. I promise."
His fists clenched in my shirt and he broke down in tears against my shoulder.

I lead a red eyed Brendon downstairs when Gerard called us down. His eyebrows disappeared under his fringe. I texted it all out to him under the table as we ate in silence. His face contorted into anger.
"Tell your principal.."
Brendon shook his head.
"Won't do anything about it. He doesn't care."
I gripped his hand and kissed the back of it. He smiled weakly at me.
"Stay the night Bren? You have your stuff with you."
He nodded.
"I think I will."
He leant in a kissed me, short and sweet.

Joy Division woke me up from my slumber. I was curled against Brendon, my head on his bare chest. He groaned and threw a pillow at my radio.
"Bren get up."
I shoved him and he fell out of the bed. I laughed and turned the music off, standing inside my wardrobe awkwardly as I got dressed. I came out and Brendon giggled.
"You just come out the closet for me, babe?"
I threw the discarded pillow at him, laughing.
"Shut up and get dressed."
I went downstairs and jumped on Gee's back.
"Can we get a liiiiiiift if you have gaaaaaaaaaaaas?"
He shrugged me off and nodded, rubbing his eyes and going to get some food. I nicked a slice of his toast and screamed as he chased me, running into Brendon. I ended up on the floor and looked up at Brendon with a slice of toast stuck in my mouth. He shook his head and helped me up before taking the slice for himself.

I shoved my Chemistry book in my locker, glancing around somewhat nervously. The moment Kellin came in, I was gonna get a pounding, I knew it. I picked at my shirt and frowned at the unfamiliar material. I was wearing Brendon's shirt. Great, now they were gonna think we'd slept together. I leant my forehead on my locker and groaned. Brendon's arm slid around me slightly.
"Chin up, Mikes."
I looked up at him.
"I wasn't exactly planning to be outed in my third month he-"
"Fags fags fags."
My eyes closed as Austin slammed me against my locker, chanting in my face. I heard Brendon's protests as they held him back. I felt my anger boiling in my stomach and brought my knee up to smash into his balls. Austin dropped me and groaned in pain.
"It's Mikey, bitch."
I went to walk off when I was pinned to the lockers by him again. My scream of pain echoed around the lockers as his fist met my face. I heard a roar of rage and saw Gerard sprinting towards me.
