Some like to sleep, We like to play

When we come out of the bathroom Gerard takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom. After we dress in clean clothes he pushes me back on the bed and climbs over me sealing out lips together and kissing me. I tangle my fingers in his hair and we kiss for what seems like hours just enjoying the feel of our lips and tongues pressed together. After a while we hear the front door open downstairs and Bandit and Riley's excited little voices. We reluctantly pull apart and before he climbs off me Gerard looks into my eyes and gently strokes my cheek as he says "I love you so much." I press my cheek into his hand and close my eyes smiling at the feeling of him touching me.
Gerard gets off the bed and stands next to it with his back facing me and I stand up on the bed before climbing onto his back and he carries me downstairs with my face buried in the side of his neck.

The next day Ray, Mikey, Bob and Frank show up and Ray says they need to have a band meeting. I let them in and they all sit in the living room. "I'll just take the kids upstairs" I tell then and Ray says "No you're part of this too." I nod my head and set Bandit and Riley up at the dining table with their paper and crayons. When I walk back into the living room I take a seat next to Gerard and Ray says "We need to clear the air about what happened." I look down and clench my hands into fists against my thighs bracing myself for the fight I expect to break out again. "Gerard I'm sorry I kissed your wife" Frank starts and Gerard glares at him and says "Well I think we should just fucking get over it because as you said she's MY wife and you have no real chance with her so this isn't an issue anymore." I sigh and look up to see the hurt look on Franks face and I feel bad that I'm the cause of it. No one else dares to say anything and after a few minutes of silence Mikey speaks up and changes the subject.

A month later everything has blown over and My Chemical Romance is headed out on their first tour as the support act for a band called The Used. They will be gone for thirteen weeks travelling the country and the guys are really excited about it. The night before they leave for tour Bandit and Riley stay at Tricks and Gerard and I spend the whole night having sex over and over again. By the end of the night Gerard has me pinned to the bed with his body weight slowly thrusting in and out of me while he kisses me passionately telling me how much he'll miss me when he breaks for air, his hands gently exploring my body. When we are done we collapse together in a naked, sweaty, exhausted mess. The next morning we wake up tangled together still naked and the room stinks of sex. We lay in bed for a while just sharing soft kisses before we pull apart to go shower.
When I step out of the shower I look in the full length mirror and I see my whole body is covered in bruises. I have hickeys all over my neck and chest, round fingertip bruises on my hips and sides and long finger bruises around my upper arms and lighter ones around my wrists. I run my fingers over some of the worse ones smiling at the memories from the night before of the rough passionate sex that caused them. When I turn to look at Gerard he has bruises too, but not as many. He has some on his neck and across his hips.
After we dress we go out to pick Bandit and Riley up and take them to the diner for lunch. Afterwards we go home for Gerard to get his stuff and we go to where the tour bus is waiting.
The goodbye is hard but Gerard tells me he loves me and that we can make it through anything. He breaks away from me and has a long goodbye with the kids. After lots of cuddles and kisses and "miss you daddy"s he stands up and gives me one last kiss and cuddle before pulling away and getting on the bus, the doors closing and I watch it pull away.

A week into the tour You Tube videos start to surface of the guys performing and I smile as I watch them and see how good they are going. A few days later an interview from Buzznet is posted with Gerard and Mikey. Gerard seems to have relaxed in the interview situation but Mikey looks tense and doesn't say much. The interviewer goes on about how popular they have become in such a short time and how great the band is and then starts asking them questions that people in the crowd from yesterday's show submitted. "Gerard what kind of girl are you interested in?" The interviewer reads and Mikey smirks as Gerard says "My wife." The interviewer giggles and says "Sorry ladies he's taken." The rest of the interview goes on in much the same fashion and a few questions they refuse to answer because this is meant to be about the band, not their individual personal lives. When the clip is over I smile and wish I could be out there to see them live instead of just videos.
