TWO WEEKS LATER


"Gee!" Frank whines as he pulls me through the mall. He tugs on my jacket sleeve and makes a pouty face, "Gee c'mon! I want coffee!" He pleads. I smirk and pull away from him, "No, I gotta finish my shopping."

"So what? You can buy Halloween shit anywhere, why do we have to be here?" Frank replies as we start walking again. I grab his hand and twine our fingers together, "Because," I say and kiss his temple, "you're gonna pick out your birthday present."

"But I don't want anything, you already gave me the best present ever." He says back and squeezes my hand. My cheeks burn and I feel myself blush, "Well, too bad. You're getting a present anyway."

"But Gee-"

"Nope."

"Gerard you can't-" Frank protests but I cut him off again.
"Nope nope nope nope nope. I'm getting my boyfriend a present and you're not stopping me." I tell him and a bitchy smile appears across my face.

Frank looks down at the ground as we walk, "Just fuck my brains out, that's a good enough present." He mumbles, thinking I don't hear him.

"Babe," I laugh, "I can do that anytime, anyplace, whenever you want. There doesn't need to be an occasion for that."

Frank giggles and we both go silent as I lead us in the direction of Party City, the shittist place to get stuff for Halloween. But the damn place is cheap, so why the hell not. So, to be honest, Frank and I have had sex four times in the past two weeks, not counting his first time. I didn't think he'd wanna do it again for awhile, but clearly, I was wrong as hell.
"Gerard," Frank says and breaks our silence, "I wanna go...look." He nods his head in a direction to the left and his grip on my hand tightens. I look to where he gestured and squint my eyes until I see what he saw. "Fucking hell." I mumble. In the corner of the mall in front of the Hollister (ew), is Dahvie, Jared, Mason, and Lindsey. I cringe and look down at Frank who is now staring down sadly at his Batman converse.

"Let's just uh, try to get passed them unoticed..." I say and drop his hand, wrapping my arm around his boney shoulders.

"Gerard..." Frank whispers and looks up at me with pleading eyes, "Please...I can't..." I sigh and stare back into his sad eyes, "I know baby, we can go. I'm sorry." I whisper back and set my forehead on his for a second before pulling away from his and turing my back to him. He places his hands on my shoulders and jumps, I catch him and he wraps his legs around my waist. "God, you're so light." I mumble under my breathe as Frank's arms snake around my neck.

"What did you say?" He asks and I shake my head. I start walking toward the front doors of the mall until we're stopped by someone saying my name. I turn around and Frank hops off my back. I hold my breathe and turn around to the faintly familar voice. Luckily, the person I'm staring at is tall and has a huge 'fro. "Hey Ray..." I say awkwardly and shift my weight between my feet. My hand finds a place on Frank's side right above his bum.

"Uh hey Gerard..." Ray says and forces a smile, "I uh, I just wanted to ask how Mikey's doin..." His face drops and his eyes go glassy when he says Mikey's name.

"Oh erm," I pause and graze my fingers up and down Frank's bare arm, "He...he's not...I don't know what he is. He won't sleep, he won't eat. I honestly don't know Ray..."

Ray nods and looks away for a second. He shoves his hands in his pockets and a tear leaves his eyes, "Tell him...tell him that I love him. Please? And that I miss him. Tell him that I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for him."

My stomach tightens, "I...I-I will. I know that he misses you too. Yesterday when he actually did sleep, he cried the whole time he slept and kinda mumbled your name..."

Ray smiles slightly and makes eye contact with me, "Thanks Gerard, you have an amazing little brother by the way."

I nod and Ray pats my shoulder before walking off in the direction opposite of Frank and I.

"See," I say to Frank as we make our way out the doors and toward the car, "We're so lucky that we can actually be together."

"I love you Gee." Frank whispers and his head falls on my shoulder as my arm wraps around him.

"I love you too Frankie, you're my world." I whisper, "Don't ever forget that? Okay. I love you I love you I love you."

Two Days Later

"Ray, I'm sorry..." Mikey cries into the phone. Ray remains silent on the other line. "Please Ray...I love you."
"Yeah...just like you love Pete." Ray spits. "You tell me you love me, and me only, then you go and fuck Pete fucking Wentz."
"I called to fucking apologize to you!" Mikey yells, "Gerard told me what you said and that hurt me so bad, Ray. I felt so guilty-"
"Well you should...go ahead. Go fuck Pete Wentz. See if I care anymore-"
"Ray don't do this-'"
"Do what?" Ray yells back, "I was loyal to you! And what do you do? You go get banged by some fuckboy!"
Mikey's anger and sadness build up, until, he can't contain it, "Don't fucking call Pete that! Maybe I love him more than I ever loved you! Maybe if we do end up dating, I'll actually tell people about!"
"Bye Mikey." Ray says calmly and hangs up while Mikey is still speaking.
