Party Poison

Ray's P.O.V

Mikey leaned in and ....kissed me? Oh my god. I can't believe it.
Mikey pulls away. He turns away. But not before I notice the tears. I put my hand on his shoulder but he shrugs it off.
"It's fine." He says. "You don't feel that way about me. I'll stay out your way."
I grab his arm and spin him around. Then I pull him to me and connect our lips. He's surprised at first, then kisses back. I pull away and look down at him. "I'd rather you didn't stay out of my way."
"I thought you loved Gerard." He said.
My eyes widened. Gerard told him? "He promised he wouldn't say anything."
"No." Mikey said, quickly. "He never said anything. He would never do that. I...kinda...heard."
"You were eavesdropping?" I asked, surprised.
He pulled away and sat down. "I always did when it came to you." He looked down at his hands, a sad look on his face. "When I heard you tell Gerard that you love him....I was devastated. Because I've...a...always l...loved you."
I stared down at him. How could I have been so blind? I look at Mikey. I REALLY look at Mikey. He's always been there. When I was in hospital after I broke my leg. He was there. When I was stuck in bed ill. Mikey was there. Maybe we could give it a go? I do kinda love him. I do kinda love him? Fuck. I mean I've just realised that the love I have for Gerard is actually infatuation. Hero worship. But Mikey's different. I really felt something when I kissed him. I'd kissed Gerard before. When I told him I love him. But I didn't feel anything. I'd put it down to the fact he didn't kiss back.
"Mikey." I said, crouching down infront of him. He looked at me, sadly. "How about we give us a try? Take it slow."
He looked at me in surprise. "What are you asking?"
I sigh. "Mikey." I said as I took his hand in mine and smiled at him. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
His face lit up. "Yes." He said. I pulled him in for a kiss.

Gerard's P.O.V

I groaned as I woke up. Bob was shouting me through the door.
"What's up?" I call back.
"Dr D has another message for us." He answered.
Frank and I got dressed, quickly and headed to the garage.
"Bad news from the zones, tumbleweeds. It looks like the exterminators have ghosted a entire colony of motor babies. Dusted out on route Guano. So it's time to hit the red line and up-thrust the volume out there. Keep your boot's tight, keep your gun close and die with your mask on if you've got to. Here is the traffic report." I zoned out after thàt. Fuck.
"What's it mean?" Frank asked, pulling me out of my thought's.
"It means blind has murdered a full colony of our guy's." I muttered.
"Wait. We have guy's?" Frank asked.
"The motor babies are the people who are working with D."
"So what's ghosted mean?" Bob asked.
"Killed."I answered. "The rest is basically telling us to get out there and make our presence known. We have to go now. We're out of time."
