Blast it to the Back Row

Frank was getting real fucking sick of eating dog food. Unfortunately it was all they had he remembered as the guys passed around their shared can opener. It was really all they could get their hands on.
See Frank and his four friends, Gerard, his brother Mikey, Ray, and his daughter Grace, lived in the desert of California in the year of 2019. Seven years before, the country of the United States of America was bombed, killing off most of the population. Out of the ashes rose a corperation called Better Living Industries, or BLI for short, who built a high tech city for the survivors called Battery City. Unfortunately the city wasn't as perfect as it seemed.
Little creativity was allowed and citizens were controlled with brainwashing television programs and medication. Those who rebelled had their brains rewired or vanished and were never seen again.
Gerard didn't like this so he convinced Mikey, Ray, and Frank to leave with him. Out in the desert that surrounded the city, or the zones as they were called, were more people like them who were against the controlling city, who called themselves Killjoys. The boys joined them and within a year BLI declared war against them.
They lost many of their forces, killed or captured, including Ray's pregnant girlfriend. They were able to save the baby but couldn't do much for her mother.
Since then, the five of them, along with the other few surviving Killjoys adopted code names to hide their identities from BLI. Gerard was Party Poison, Mikey was Kobra Kid, Ray was Jet Star, Grace was Missile Kid, and Frank was Fun Ghoul.
Frank wasn't really all that into the code names. He only really used them out of habit and necessity these days. Back when they first started, he would mess up all the time and he was certain Gerard was going to like shoot him or something.
Frank sighed as Ray handed him the can opener. Everyone else was already picking at and eating their food. Frank would have laughed at them if he weren't in the same situation. As gross as this stuff was, they hadn't eaten since that morning and they were starving. Frank picked up his spoon and scooped some Power Pup into it. He cringed at the taste but swallowed it anyway. The first time he had to eat it he gagged and almost threw up. Now it just bothered him a little.
frank scooped more Power Pup into his mouth and brushed some of his shoulder length dark brown hair out of his eyes. The heat was making it stick to his neck. He looked up and saw the others were having the same problems. Mikey and Ray had actually taken their jackets off and their hair was sticking to their faces and necks. Grace was sitting in between them, her helmet sitting in the center of the table. Only Gerard was still wearing all of his gear apart from his yellow and blue mask which was hanging around his neck on a string. Frank could see the sweat rolling down his face as he moved some of his fire truck red hair out of his eyes. The older man was drawing on the table with a sharpie as he ate. They didn't have much paper so Gerard just drew on any surface he could find. Tables, walls, floors, hell Frank's seen his drawing on his socks before. Gerard looked up and smiled at Frank who realized that, fuck he was staring again. He quickly looked away down at the table, blushing.
Frank would never admit it to anyone like ever, but he totally had a high school girl level crush on Gerard. He's had it for a while, ever since Gee saved his ass from a couple of dracs that picked a fight with him in the middle of the night during watch. That was almost a year ago and now it was all Frank could do to keep from jumping Gerard most days. He wished the circumstances were different, that they didn't live in a world like this. Then maybe he'd be able to have Gerard. The older man always seemed to busy keeping the five of them alive to bother with relationships. Plus it was dangerous to get too attached to people out her since they could be used against you. This whole situation was just frustrating.
Frank dropped his spoon on the table and stood up, edging his way out of the booth. "Who has watch tonight?" He asked. "Party and Kobra" Ray answered absentmindedly before going back to his conversation with Mikey. Frank nodded and went to his and Gerard's shared room, celebrating the fact that he was going to be getting a full night of sleep. He later down on his mattress. He was exhausted and would like nothing more than to go to sleep right the fuck then.
The sun was starting to set and the room was getting darker by the second and it was really quiet. Frank say up and took his vest and shirt off and sat them in a pile by his mattress. It's too hot to be sleeping in that stuff. He kicked off his boots and layer back down and closed his eyes.
Luckily it seemed like Frank was getting his wish and sleep came fast. He rolled onto his side before slipping into the bliss of sleep.
