You Can Cry All You Want To, I Don't Care

Frank and I make out heatedly for a few minutes before we pull apart for air and he says "Mikes ok?" I sigh as I sit up, pushing Frank off my lap and I run my fingers through my hair as I say "Yeah, I think. He's.....Pete is pushing him to have sex and he's scared to do it cause until this point he hasn't been into guys and I feel like maybe I should talk to Pete." "Babe I think unless Mikes comes to you again you should just leave it. You don't want to embarrass him do you?" I sigh again before saying "No but I don't want him getting hurt." Frank wraps his arms around me and says "He'll be ok, and if Pete fucks it all up, I'll kill him for you." I giggle slightly as I bury my face in Franks neck and his hands gently rub up and down my back. "I love you baby" he says as he plants soft kisses in my hair. "I love you too" I tell him, pulling back from his neck to press a soft lingering kiss to his lips.

The next morning Frank and I go downstairs for breakfast to find Mikey, Pete and dad at the table already, eating and drinking coffee. They all smile and say hi when we walk in and everything looks fine until I make eye contact with Mikey and my heart sinks, his expression scared and hurt despite the smile he's forcing. Frank and I grab some toast and coffee and sit at the table too and make small talk with everyone as we eat. Just as we are finishing up I lean over and whisper to Frank "Can you take Pete and hang out for a while?" "Sure baby" he says without question, pressing a kiss to my cheek before pulling away. Once dad stands up and takes his plate and cup to the sink I say "Hey Mikes, you wanna hit up the comic book store?" He nods as he says "Yeah we haven't been there in a long time." Frank starts talking to Pete and Mikey and I slip away from the table, going upstairs to get changed and we head out, walking slowly down the street towards the store. "What happened?" I ask and Mikey stops walking, his bottom lip quivering and I stop and turn to face him. "We....it didn't work. Pete wanted to and I went along with it and he was getting me ready for so long and then when he tried to....it hurt so bad and he couldn't and I asked him to stop and then he just rolled his back to me and ignored me until he fell asleep." Mikey starts crying by the end and I wrap my arms around him. "Oh Mikes I'm so sorry." "What if he's going to break up with me now?" "If he does he's the biggest fucking idiot asshole ever and he definitely isn't worth your time. You're not ready Mikes and he should understand that, don't let him pressure or bully you into doing anything." We hug for a few minutes before pulling away and walking again. "Thanks Gee" he says softly after a minute and I reach out and grab his hand, squeezing softly. "Any time Mikes, if you need anything you can always come to me, I'll always be there for
you." "I don't really deserve that after how terrible I've been to you in the last two years." "It's ok, I get it." "No, you never deserved to be adandoned the way I abandoned you and I'm sorry." I look over at him and we share a smile before we go into the store. An hour later we finally buy a few comics and leave, heading back home again and when we get there Pete and Frank are sprawled out across both couches in the living room, a gory horror movie playing on the tv and when I walk into the room I see dad in the arm chair to the side watching too, pizza boxes scattered on the coffee table. "Hey boys" dad greets us and Mikey goes upstairs to put his comics in his room while I go into the living room and join Frank on the couch. I lay down with him and he slides up to press against my back, his arm wrapped around my waist and he whispers in my ear "Is Mikes alright?" I turn my head and whisper back "I'll tell you after the movie." Half an hour later the movie ends and Mikey never came back. I slide out of Franks arm and go upstairs, knocking on Mikey's door before going in and he's sitting on the bed, staring at the corner of the room with tear tracks on his cheeks. "Mikes what's wrong?" I ask as I cross the room and climb onto the bed next to him. "He packed his bags while we were gone." I look and notice Pete's two bags packed neatly in the corner and I glance around and notice none of his stuff is laying anywhere. I wrap my arms around Mikey and he buries his face in my neck as he starts to cry again. "Oh Mikes I'm so sorry" I say softly and when he stops crying he pulls away and says "Guess it's a good thing we're not going back to boarding school then." "Mikes, I'm sure he...." "I wanna be alone for right now, please" Mikey asks and I slowly slide off the bed, turning and saying "I'm here whenever you need ok?" Before walking out the door, pulling it closed behind me. I start down the hall, heading for the stairs when I see Frank and Pete step up and I charge forward, throwing my fist into Pete's face sending him stumbling back and he almost falls backwards down the stairs but Frank grabs his arm and saves him. "What the fuck?" Pete spits out and I raise my fist again. "How the fuck could you?" "How could I what?" He yells back and Frank looks at me and says "Babe what's going on?" "It's bad enough you pressured him into something he clearly wasn't ready for but now you're leaving when he fucking needs you? You don't deserve him." "Gee I...." "He's in there fucking crying his eyes out over what you've done to him and...." "He's crying?" Pete asks, his anger dropping from his face to be replaced by a mix of sadness and guilt. "I didn't mean to...." He starts before trailing off and he pushes past me and goes into Mikey's room, closing the door behind him. Once he's gone Frank turns to me and says "Shit that was hot." I stare at him confused and he smiles and says "Seeing you, my sweet little precious baby lashing out physically at someone, I think I need some personal time right now" and I look down to see the bulge in his pants. I giggle
as I look back up at his face and he smirks and says "Angry Gee is so fucking sexy." I shake my head as I say "Maybe if you piss me off enough I'll hit you some day." Frank smirks wider and takes my hand, leading me towards the bedroom. "Keep talking dirty to me baby, it's getting me all hot." I slap his arm playfully as we walk into the room and he moans exaggeratedly and says "Oh fuck yeah babe, hit me" and I burst into giggles again.
