The anticipation of a perfect night
Pep talk
It was very long until Gerard was in his driveway. Once he got out of his car, he instantly ran inside. It was already unlocked, of course. As he was walking up the stairs to get to his room, he thought to himself.
"Gotta get ready, gotta get ready." Once he was inside of his bedroom, with the door shut, he started to get ready. He had a very intricate and detailed plan. First off, he had to clean his room. Not that it was messy, but still. He had dusted everything in his room and threw away that one magazine he had on "How to get the man of your dreams". Gerard didn't need it anymore, he had already taken his notes. He knew everything. After five minutes of frantically dusting things that didn't need to be dusted, he stopped. Now that was done, it was time to do some homework. Since Gerard did most of his homework in class, he didn't have much of it to do. One English paragraph, five Algebra problems, and one French worksheet was the remainder of the academic over achiever. Since it wasn't much and Gerard was in a hurry, he managed to do it all in 10 minutes. Once he finished everything, he packed all of his stuff away in his bookbag.
"Okay, now for the most important part, don't mess this up, Gerard." he thought to himself as he walked to his bathroom. Ever since his eleventh birthday, Gerard had been upgraded from his old room to the guest room, which was way bigger, it even had its own bathroom. Last summer when he would go on crazy adventures with Frank, Gerard would spend crazy time in his bathroom just staring at himself in the mirror on his medicine cabinet and he would practice possible scenarios and what witty responses he could say on the spot. This time, it was different. Instead of the usual "practicing things that would never happen game", Gerard went to his mirror for a little pep-talk.
"You can do this, you can do this. He's coming at nine and it's only four thirty. You can do this, you can do this." he thought to himself. After about three and a half minutes of a half-hearted pep-talk, Gerard decided to finally stop. "Forget it, I'm just gonna take a shower." he thought to himself at four thirty seven. He got into the shower and stayed inside a little longer than normal. He got totally clean, he even shaved his legs. He didn't really know why, just because he could I guess. It wasn't an eternity before he got out and awkwardly stumbled to his closet to try and find something to wear. Jeans were always a good fit so Gerard pulled out a pair of those. After he put them on, he paced around his bedroom while pondering what shirt he should wear. Something casual, but not ratty. Something comfortable, but not pajamas. It had to be the perfect medium. Since almost all of Gerard's clothes were extremes of something one would wear to a black tie event and something someone would wear when they went out for milk at 3 in the morning, it was gonna be pretty hard to find a piece of clothing that was in the middle. He couldn't do it, nothing in his closet would suffice to this specific clothing requirement.
It was time to break out Gerard's last resort, his little brother, Mikey. Usually the two are on good terms, but since Mikey is incredibly stronger than Gerard, he tends to beat Gerard up often. Maybe today would be an exception. He walked over to his brother's room and knocked on his door.
Politely, he spoke out.
"Mikey, are you in there?"
"What do you want, Gerard?"
Gerard heard girlish giggling coming from inside Mikey's room.
"Mikey, whose, that laughing?"
Mikey panicked and stuttered out something stupid.
"It's nothing, what do you want, Gerard?"
"Can I come in?"
Mikey panicked even more from the other side of the closed door.
"No! You cannot come in!" Mikey responded.
The door was unlocked, technically, he could come in.
"Whatever."
Gerard was fed up, he opened the door.
"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" , Mikey said as Gerard opened the bedroom door.
When Gerard opened the door all the way and walked inside.
"I don't get what the big deal i-" Gerard stopped mid-sentence in shock.
Wow, if anybody else knew about this, Mikey would be in unbelievable trouble.
