Ice cream parlour.

Ten minutes, ten fucking minutes, until Frank until Frank gets here and I’m still not ready yet. I rushed home straight after me and Frank parted ways, so he could go home and get changed. I had to shower and get myself looking perfect. I’m not quite there yet, unfortunately I don’t have any more time to work with. At least I look semi decent.

I run up to the living room, where Mikey is in the middle of watching Zombieland. “Uh, Frank’s coming over in a bit to watch movies with us.” He looks incredibly confused. I suppose that makes sense, he doesn’t know that I met Frank. He doesn’t know about my visits to the ice cream parlour. Most importantly, he doesn’t know about my stalking. “Uhm. Well the Ice cream parlour, it’s a really good place to draw. Frank came and spoke to me earlier after some awkward eye contact was made. Then I realised it was your friend and, well, invited him over.” I stutter. Mikey’s eyes widen and he smirks. As I go to ask him why he’s smirking, the doorbell rings, making me jump. I try to hide the huge grin that spreads on my face. I just can’t help it. I then try to make sure it doesn’t look like I’m rushing to answer the door. I really don’t want Mikey to be getting suspicious.

I open the door, and freeze. Damn. Frank out of school uniform is even better. He’s wearing extremely tight skinny jeans, misfits t-shirt and black converse. I realise that once again I am staring at him. This time though I have my mouth slightly open. He shuffles his feet, looking uncomfortable. Not that I really blame him. A disgusting, ugly boy, that he met only a few hours before is staring at him. “Misfits are a great band.” I say before he gets too weirded out. It was the first thought that popped into my head other than ‘please shove your tongue down my throat.’ Before I do end up saying something like that I turn away and gesture for Frank to follow me into the living room.

Mikey nods to Frank as he walks in, still engrossed in the film. We go sit either side of him, me relaxing into my seat, Frank looks really uncomfortable though, sitting on the edge of the seat. “Dude, relax, we’re not going to drink you’re blood.” I say, completely seriously. His eyes widen. After a few seconds though all three of us burst into laughter. Luckily it works and Frank visibly relaxes. At least he didn’t freak out and call me a weirdo, cause that’s totally happened before.

“So Frank I hear you two met at the ice cream parlour.” Mikey says with a huge smirk on his face. I look to Frank to see that he’s gone slightly red. Huh. Wonder what that’s about.

“Well I went to speak to him earlier, I didn’t realise he was your brother until he said so.” He lets out a nervous laugh. Maybe he had told Mikey about the fact I was staring at him. That could explain their weird behaviour. An awkward silence starts. So what do I do? Find a new DVD to put on. Of course it’s going to be a horror, hmm but which?
The Orphanage. Perfect.
It’s such a great movie. I put it in and wait for the title screen to come up. When it does Mikey shakes his head. “No way. Not again.” Ok maybe I didn’t mention. I watch this movie a lot. It’s brilliant. “I’m going to go order pizza and collect it. There is no way I’m watching this again.”
“Why not?” Frank asks quietly.
“He watches it far too much, I probably know all the words to it.” Mikey says as he gets his coat on. “I’ll see you guys in a bit ok? Try not to do anything I wouldn’t do.” He sniggers and leaves.

Half way through, Frank jumps, hiding himself into my chest. I feel my heart swell. Damn these feelings.
Mikey still isn’t back, so whilst I can get away with it without judging eyes, I wrap my arms around him. “Oh Frank, scared are we?” I say amusement lining my voice. I felt Frank nod against me. “It’ll be alright, I’ll protect you from all the bad, bad things.” I say in a voice like I was talking to a baby.
“Don’t be a dick Gee!” He whimpers. He is so cute when he’s scared. Also Gee? Huh. Giving me a nickname already.

The credits start rolling on the movie, and Mikey still isn’t back. Frank is still hiding in my chest, even though it’s all over. “Frank, dude, the movie is over you don’t have to hide any more.” I say half-heartedly. I really don’t want him to move, but I really don’t want him to think that I don’t want him to move, I’m not ready to let things get awkward just yet.
“I don’t believe you. You’re a mean, mean man and there is probably something equally horrifying going on now.”
I let out a loud laugh. “I am not mean” I manage to get out between my laughs.

When I manage to stop laughing, I hear the key in the front door. “Sounds like Mikey is back.” As soon as I said that Frank flew to the other side of the couch. I gave him a questioning look.
He shrugs “I’m just very excited about pizza?” It sounds like he is saying that as a question, but I ignore it and just nod. Mikey walks in, his eyes flickering between the two of us, his look getting suspicious and I have no idea why.
“Mikey stop looking at us and give us pizza I’m starving” I finally say, breaking the silence. He nodded, still looking suspicious, but gave us our pizza, and that’s the main thing after all.

After all the pizza was finished, Frank declared that he must leave to go home. Both me and Mikey walked him to the door.
“Bye Gee.” He said smiling. “Bye Mikey.” Mikey nodded in reply.
“Bye Frankie, be safe.” I say the nickname just rolling off my tongue. His cheeks start to turn slightly red, I hope I haven’t said anything wrong.
As soon as the door closes a smirk crawls onto Mikeys face. “Oooh nicknames for each other already. Cute.”
“Oh go away Mikey Way.” I say and walk down to my room, fall onto my bed, and fall into a deep sleep.

Notes
