As the moon lit the sky, the soft light peered in through the white blinds of the hall window. I softly inched my ear against the Way’s room. I can hear soft mumbling escaping the two. Gerard said softly, “You gotta keep away from him, Mikey. He’s no charmer, he kidnapped us-what will mom and dad think?” There was a rush of silence until Mikey replied, “I know, I know .. but maybe we should listen to him-we don’t know what he’ll do to us-”

“There it is again!” Gerard said angrily, “Your loyalty is growing, Mikey. The only way we’ll escape this is by acting stubborn. If anything, he’ll come to conclusion that we’re not his.”

Mikey said, “We’re? He doesn’t want me, he wants you. It’s obvious he’s obsessed over you. I was just dragged into this.”

Their voices trailed on for a while until I heard nothing.

They were asleep.

I took out my key and unlocked the door, slowly opening it. I entered in and quietly made my way to Mikey’s side of the bed. I smiled down at him as he soundly slept. I leaned in and shook him a bit, “Mikey,” I softly whispered. I glanced over to Gerard who had his back turned to us.

Mikey’s eyes fluttered open and then he yawned. He looked at me surprised, “F-Frank-”

I hushed him softly, “Come on.”

I led him out of the room and locked the door, trapping Gerard inside.

Mikey stayed by my side. My hands rested on his shoulders, he did not react in any way. I led him into the living room and sat him down on the couch. He looked up at me as I grinned down at him, “Do you like chocolate?” I reached inside my back pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar. He slowly took it from my hand. As he was tearing apart the wrapper, I sat closely to him. My shoulder touched his, making him look at me. His cheeks flushed.

My hand touched his thigh, “I don’t think we get enough alone time.”

Mikey bit into the bar, “I-I know.”

I caressed his thigh, trailing my hand up and down. Mikey finished the bar and set aside the wrapper. His eyes looked into mine and I spotted a faint mark of chocolate on the corner of his lips. I knew what I needed to do. But something inside me didn’t want to. Gerard was the only one for me-could I really kiss his brother? Well, I guess it’s his brother. It should be easy to pretend he is Gerard and not himself.

I slowly leaned in, seeing how easily Mikey’s cheeks tinted pink. My lips touched his and I heard his soft moan vibrate against my lips. Mikey inched closer to me and I felt his hand tremble against my chest. He wanted to push me away-I can’t let that happen. I moved my tongue inside his mouth, and his eyes shot open. Mikey moved on top of my lap, deepening the kiss.

Gerard. It’s all for Gerard.

My tongue licked up the chocolate near his mouth, making him rock hard.

I couldn’t push it any further.

I grinned, “Down boy.” I led him to sit by my side, “Don’t rush anything, sweetie.”

He blushed with a big smirk on his face. He glanced down at his crotch and slammed a pillow over it. He laughed awkwardly, “Sorry.”

He was cute. He really was. But he’s not the Way brother I want to fall for me.

Mikey and Gerard are the only ones Ray hasn’t gotten information on. Frank ran away, possibly because he had enough of a home that neglects him. As for Nixon, Ray still hasn’t concluded anything from his disappearance. He was running low on information-he needed more. Ray sighed angrily before realizing there was one place he hadn’t look into.

Their school.

Around 11 a.m. Gerard was banging against his door, screaming frantically. I got up from my bed quickly, leaving behind Mikey. I unlocked the door and opened it, only to have a body launch onto me. Gerard’s kept trying to hit me, “Where is he?” He shouted, “What have you done to him?” I grabbed a hold of his wrists, “Baby, he’s fine-he’s in my room.”

Gerard stared at me, “Your room?”

I looked at him.

He pushed past me into my room and shouted, “Mikey,” Mikey jolted awake to the sound of Gerard’s voice. Gerard growled, “Did you have sex with him?”

Mikey’s cheeks flushed. He muttered, “I wish.”

Gerard’s anger soothed down. He stared at Mikey, “What is wrong with you? You’re being manipulated by your capter.” Gerard turned to face me, “As for you, I know what you’re doing. You don’t want my brother. You want me.” He inched closer to me, “When we get out of here, I’ll make sure you’re put away for life.”

I glanced over to Mikey who read my eyes. Mikey shouted to his brother, “Don’t talk to him that way,” Mikey hurried off the bed and ran toward me. He grasped onto my arm, “I love him.”

Again, not the Way brother I wanted to hear say that.

Gerard stared at us. He looked at me, “If you hurt him-”

“I won’t.” I bluntly said.

“Yeah, right.” Gerard said sarcastically.

I didn’t want to hurt him-hurting Gerard is the last thing I wanted to do. But it seemed that maybe I thought in that moment, it was the last. When my palm met his cheek, he jerked his head to the side and let out a weak cry. Soon after, I felt the rush leave almost instantly. Something else inside me got a kick out of it-in other words, I liked it. It was almost a sexual feeling .. and in all honesty, it was scary.
