Just a Shadow In The Night (Mikey Way/OC)

“Emilia.” I hear faintly as someone nudges me awake.

“Emilia?” another voice asks, closer now.

“Mmmmm…?” I manage to say groggily as I open my eyes.

“You fell asleep and we’re going for a walk, do you want to come?” The voice that I recognized as Gerard’s asked.

“Mmmm… sure.” I answered, still not fully aware of my actions. I suddenly realised I was laying on someone and I immediately rolled off of them and onto the cushions. The cushions didn’t seem nearly as comfortable as Mikey. Ah yes, Mikey… I fell asleep on him, how could I forget?

I could hear Gerard’s footsteps bounding away from his bedroom, down the staircase and towards the front door.

“Come on, let’s go.” Mikey mumbled sleepily into my ear once Gerard had left the room.

I crawled out of the blanket fort and stood up, trying to keep my balance. I could hear a giggle behind me. I turned to see Mikey, still on the floor, cross legged and looking at me.

“Is something funny to you, Mikey?” I asked in a teasing tone.

He nodded slowly with the hint of a grin on his face. In a raspy voice, he muttered “You.”

I felt my feet begin to get tingly and I could feel a slight blush creeping up on my face, but I was thankful that the room was dark, so he couldn’t see.

“Guuuys, hurry uuuup.” Gerard whined from downstairs. I’m surprised that Mikey was the younger one; he didn’t act like it most of the time.

Mikey chucked and unplugged the fairly lights before he got up and we left the room.

“Gerard?” I called, once we were outside.

“Call me Gee.” He insisted.

“Okay… Gee. Where are we going?” I asked.

“Honestly, I’m not quite sure.” He answered, he continued as we began walking on the sidewalk. “Mikey, do you know where we’re going?”

“Nope. We’ll go wherever our feet take us.” He answered simply.

Mikey was walking beside me, while Gerard was walking in front of us. I took this opportunity to think. I’m going to an unknown location with a man I met just last week, and his brother whom I met today… or was it yesterday? I don’t know what time it is, all I know is the starts and moon is out. Oh, who cares what time it is.

I listened to Gerard and Mikey discuss their theories of comic book characters and oh my god, do they ever know a lot about comic books. I could listen to them talk about Harley Quinn and Batman for hours.

As we started to enter the forest, Gerard decided to strike up a conversation with me.

“So Emilia, What kind of films do you like?” He asked.

“I don’t watch many movies but I like John Hughes films.” I admitted.

“Oh, so you’re one of those girls.” He teased, smirking at me. I pretended to gasp and to look offended, but with my terrible acting skills, we ended up laughing at my stupidity.

“How do you drink your coffee?” He asked after our laughter died down.

“A little bit of cream, no sugar.” I recited, having answered this question a few times.

He nodded in approval. “Guess how I take my coffee.” He insisted.

“Uhh…” I said, studying him while we continued walking. “Black.” I guessed.

Gerard looked at me in shock. “You’re right!” He said enthusiastically. His expression turned from enthusiastic to sad as he looked over my shoulder.

I turned to look but before I could see anything I felt a hand come out from behind me and grab a strong hold on my waist, bringing me backward against the person’s body. They forced my arms to my sides and brought a strong arm around my waist and arms. Their other hand held a white cloth.

“Oh fuck.” I thought to myself. I couldn’t struggle because the person was too strong compared to me. They held a hand to my mouth so I couldn’t scream, not like I’d try. I knew my voice wasn’t loud enough and that no one besides Gerard would hear. I looked up to see Gerard looking at me sadly. “Why is he just standing there? Why isn’t he helping me?” Then I realized. “Oh my fucking god. It’s Mikey. I am being kidnapped by Mikey Way.”

And that was my last thought before I fell unconscious.

Notes

I finally did the thing. Thanks for reading.
