The Adventures of Mikey Way: New Vampire

It took a while for the glitter to make its way out of Mikey's system which he was NOT happy about. Gerard thought it was hilarious and teased his brother about it whenever he saw him. Mikey had to stay inside more than usual or he had to be prepared to explain the glitter to everyone he saw (he said Gerard was working on a project using glitter, which was kind of true he guessed).

To say that Mikey was still annoyed would be an understatement. Gerard was still trying to apologise, but he would giggle before he could finish and Mikey would walk off in a huff.
Several weeks after the glitter incident, Gerard decided to make Mikey pancakes to actually apologise properly to Mikey. He and his brother hadn't spoken too much in those few weeks and Gerard wasn't finding it so fun anymore. Mikey felt the same way as his brother, but was avoiding him all the same until Gerard apologised.

Gerard invited Mikey over to his apartment for breakfast for a change to provide pancakes and also show Mikey the new commission he was doing, so Mikey woke up early to drive to his brother's place. He was greeted at the door with a hug, a mug of fresh coffee and the smell of chocolate chip pancakes through the hallway. Mikey was considerably less grouchy when he took a sip of the coffee and saw the Gerard was covered in flour, as was a lot of the kitchen floor. He gave his brother an amused look before taking a seat at the table where there were four plates with mountains of pancakes on them.

"What?" asked Gerard.
"How many other people are coming Gee, we aren't going to eat all of these now are we?" Mikey replied.
"I made extra so I don't have to cook dinner later", Gerard tried to explain.
All he got in reply was a raised eyebrow from his brother. Gerard sat across the table from Mikey and they both began to eat their pancakes.

************

When the leftover pancakes were all put away, the brothers sat on the couch to watch Lord of the Rings. About halfway through the movie, Mikey began to fidget. Gerard asked if Mikey was alright but he insisted that he was. Another half hour of the movie and Mikey was looking even more uncomfortable.

"Mikes are you alright?" Gerard asked.
"I'm okay. I'm just....... itchy......"
Now that Mikey pointed it out, Gerard could see that his brother was scratching at the skin on his arms. He frowned at Mikey.
"Are you sure you're alright? You never itch this much", Gerard pushed.
Mikey turned his head to face his brother and Gerard gasped. Mikey's eyes were glowing bright yellow.
"Uh.... Mikes? What's going on?"
Gerard knew enough about vampires from what Mikey had told him, and yellow eyes had not come up. Red eyes meant he was hungry, maybe yellow was that he was too full?

"I'm really sorry Gee", Mikey whispered.
Suddenly there was a puff of smoke and Mikey disappeared. His space on the couch was now occupied by a small bat with yellow eyes.
"Uh oh", said Gerard.
The bat eyed him as he slowly stood and began backing away.
"Nice bat. Not gonna eat your brother are we?" Gerard cooed to the fluffy animal.
The bat moved and Gerard froze. It moved so that its wings were spread out. They stared at each other for a few minutes before the bat flew at Gerard causing him to squeal and run for his room. He managed to slam the door before he heard a thump on the other side of the door where the bat ran into it.

Gerard breathed a sigh of relief and glanced around his room, looking for something to catch the bat, or he should probably call it Mikey. Blankets wouldn't work too well. Pillows is a stupid idea. Paint would just make a mess. His eyes halted as he spotted the birdcage in the corner. It was a vintage birdcage that photographers often use as props in photos. He picked it up and moved back toward his door, picking up a blanket on the way.
"Okay Gerard, you have a plan. A good plan. This could work", Gerard talked himself up.
"Who am I kidding it's never gonna work", he sighed and opened the door.

Mikey had been flapping around near the living room light but immediately turned towards the bedroom door when it opened. When Mikey was a few metres away from him, Gerard dropped the cage and threw the blanket at Mikey. It covered Mikey completely, allowing Gerard to grab him and stuff him into the cage. Another problem arose when Mikey refused to let go of the blanket no matter how much Gerard tried to shake him off. Gerard eventually gave up and stuffed the whole blanket in the cage with a shrug. Mikey squeaked in protest and began to claw at the side of the cage closest to his brother.

"Well Mikey, I guess I should have asked you if you could turn into a bat", Gerard said to his brother.
Mikey blinked at him and Gerard just shrugged.
"Well what are we gonna do now? I don't know how long it's gonna take you to turn back".
Shrugging once more, Gerard picked up the cage which caused more protesting noises from Mikey, and sat it on the couch where Mikey was before. He sat down in his previous space and pressed play on the movie. He changed the movie when the one they were watching finished and settled in for a marathon until Mikey changed back.

They both fell asleep at around 8 that night after spending the whole day watching movies.

************

When Gerard woke up in the morning his neck was sore and his arm was dead after sleeping on it. He sat up and stretched his limbs out causing several satisfying cracks in his limbs.
"Uh Gee....." he heard from beside him.
He turned his head and saw Mikey, human again, spread out on half of the couch. His legs were hanging off the couch at weird angles, his torso was leaning on the main part of the couch cushion. But his head was covered in the blanket from the night before and was also stuck in the birdcage.

Gerard took one look and burst out laughing leaving Mikey scowling at him. Mikey bared his teeth at his brother and hissed which caused Gerard to stop laughing immediately.
"My baby brother just hissed at me. I don't know what to make of that....."
