Hold Me Tight

"Go fish." Ray smirked and Gerard roughly dug around for a card.

"Imma back!" Mikey announced coming from the kitchen and joining the pair on the carpet.

Gerard snatched the crisps from Mikey's grasp and began eating them grumpily.

"Whats' his problem?" Ray asked Mikey, chuckling. Mikey looked over at Gerard as if to ask permission but Gerard just stared fiercely ahead.

"He's bummed out because he really liked that Dinah girl but shes going out with the Frank guy who's much better looking then himself."

"I am not bummed because of that!" Gerard insisted.

"What is it then?" Mikey asked a smile playing at his lips.

"I'm bummed because I can't find where I belong. Ever since ending it with the she-devil I need to make it on my own."

"Uh-huh" Mikey said nodding at Ray.

"But...is Frank really better looking than me?!" Gerard burst out.

**********

The boys had been playing 'go fish' for a while and it was getting tiresome.

"Got any hearts?" Gerard asked lazily.

"Mikey sure has." Ray mumbled before hiding behind a pillow as Mikey sent him a death glare.

"What?" Gerard asked grinning. Any chance to mess with his brother he would take it.

"Nothing." Mikey said quickly.

"Come on Mikes." Insisted Ray. Both the boys stared at Mikey expectantly.

"Okay okay, well...I kind of like Dorrit. Its no big deal." He shrugged. Mikey wasn't really one for attention he hated the spotlight, un-like Gerard who was an attention seeking whore.

"OMG MIKEY!" Gerard shouted jumping up. "This is meant to be, it must be true love like I swear she blushed when she saw you yesterday and no wonder that tutu really showed off your legs!"

Mikey brought his middle finger up to Gerard.

"MIKEY AND DORRIT SITTING IN A TREE!" Gerard began to sing skipping around Mikey. He grabbed Ray's hands who then joined him in the circle. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

Mikey just sat there with his arm crossed muttering under his breath. "You fuckers."
A few more laps of the circle later and Ray's phone binged. He disbanded the circle to go and see who it was. After a minuet of reading it he said its from the girls. Making Gerard stop in his tracks and Mikey cease muttering.

"They want to meet us." Ray began, grinning. "All of us."

Gerard clutched Mikey's hand and said. "Time to face all the pain and take it on."
