Hold Me Tight

"Shit." Gerard stated out loud. He sat on the curb running his hands carelessly through his already dishevelled hair. He sat back as he heard the door of the cafe swing open. Great. He thought probably a nosy killjoy. The man walked over to Gerard he had a big brown afro and a smile on his face. He looked at Gerard squinting slightly.

"Gerard?" He questioned.

"What?" Gerard asked confused.

"Gerard. Gerard Way?" He insisted.

"Yeep that's me. But if you don't mind me asking, you are?"

"I'm Ray."

Gerard continued to look confused. "Mikey's friend. We have met before."

"Oh right." Gerard said truth was he had no clue who Ray was he was probably intoxicated when they 'met'.

"Quite an argument you had in there."

"Yeah." Gerard replied bringing his hand up to his ear. Suddenly he began hysterically laughing.

"What is it?" Ray asked grinning.

"I left my fucking pencil."

***********

"Look who I found!" Ray announced flamboyantly opening the door to Mikey's flat.

Mikey was sat on his sofa reading a comic. He immediately set it down and greeted Gerard by whacking him over the head.

"The hell?!" Gerard questioned.

"That was for being a good nothing, I don't know. Now how did it go?"

"It went swimmingly." Ray answered.

***********

"Gerard coome on we're not leaving without you." The two boys ordered while putting on their leather jackets (such punk). They were trying to get Gee to go to a new rock bands gig tonight.

"Guess you're not leaving then." Gerard stated numbly. He was lying on the living room floor in his 'depressed' phase. Or as Mikey liked to call it his 'lazy ass Motherfucker stage'. Mikey sighed dramatically and threw his hand over his forehead.

"Oh whatever will I do?! My fucktard of a Brother won't come to a gig with me. If only I could use physical force to drag his ass there! Oh wait I can." He said as he grabbed Gerard's leg and began to pull. Ray just stood there chuckling.

"Get the fuck off!" Gerard shouted kicking his leg out at his brother. "Are you trying to see how far down I can sink?!"

"Stop being so dramatic you attention whore." Mikey retorted.

"Unicorn whore." Gerard replied.

"What do I have to do for you to join us this fine evening?" Mikey asked.

A wide grin formed on Gerard's face.

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

"So...what are this band called again?" Gerard asked fighting back his laughter.

"The darkest hour." Mikey said through gritted teeth. A lot of people were staring at him due to the fact that he was wearing a tutu. Gerard couldn't contain his laughter. Mikey rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Well I'm here aren't I?!" He giggled. Ray returned from the bar with drinks and a cupcake. One thing Gerard had learned about Ray he liked cupcakes and I mean liked. Kind of like how Gerard liked eyeliner.

"So they are a new rock band?" Gerard asked directing the question to Ray as Mikey hilariously was being chatted up by a burly man.

"Yeah, apparently the lead singers voice reaches new levels of low." Ray explained excitedly.

Sweet. Gerard thought maybe these band guys could be new friends? After all he needed a distraction and maybe low voiced rock men were his calling. The lights suddenly went out and Gerard grabbed Mikeys hand dramatically.

"I'm scared Michael." He mock scared whispered in his ear.

"Don't let them take you alive." Mikey whispered back pushing Gerard away from him by the face.

A single spotlight shinned on the stage. The punkest person you have seen was standing directly under it. All piercings and small tattoos, all wild brown hair, all eyeliner heavy. All girl.
