New York dreams and Comics - Music is still the core.

It was friday. Gerard was out with his best friend Matthew, visiting a bar near their flat's since it was just a 5 minute walk from Gerard#s flat to Matthew's. Some out of the university told them, that a pretty cool band should be playing at the bar.
After a short conversation, they decided to go out, like they did once in a while to get down from the stress of the School, or collect new Ideas.
It was a start which seemed like this typical trouble-starting thing in some bad romance movie, but it shouldn't exactly be like this.
It would be just too easy.
Anyways, after 2 beers, the awaited band stepped onto the stage, revealing under them Mikey, Gerard's younger brother.
He already knew that Mikey was playing in a band, here in New York, but he didn't thought that they were already this big.
Not like he wouldn't believe in his brother - in fact, he was a awesome bass player. He always knew that Mikey would shine bright, but he just didn't expected it. It also surprised him to see Ray, Mikey's ex.
Back in New Jersey, they had something going on after Mikey came out as Bi, but it ended pretty quickly. Mikey told Ray that he just doesn't love him in THAT way, but still as a brother and best friend. Ray was sad at first, but he accepted it, wanted to stay by Mikey's side, so they made their way to New York 4 months later than Gerard. Seemed as if they were still best friends. It made Gerard happy to see his brother living his life to the fullest.
The feeling of this 'Perfect-Life-Scene' grew wider in his stomach, letting a soothing wamrth flow trough him.
Next to his brother and Ray, two other men stepped out into the flashing lights, one holding a guitar, the other holding two drumsticks. He was tall, had blonde hair and a beard. Even the Lippiercing and earrings were there - marking the typical rock-drummer. All in all, he looked like this typical kind of man who would creep the shit out of you by looking at you, but inside he was just this best friend for you - as soon as you knew him more.
The guitar guy was shorter than others. He had black hair, that curled up a bit on the end of his pony. He was covered in tattoo's - at least from the skin that he was showing. It fitted him perfectly, made him look even more beautiful than he already did.

After setting everything up, they started to play their first few songs, the shorter boy having a really special voice, but it fitted nicely into the song's they played. It was a melodic sound, Gerard thought. He could listen to them play for the rest of his life actually.
In an instant, ideas started to flow trough his mind. Ideas of songs and lyrics for certain parts.

Focusing on the show, it wen't by fast. Sadly, it came to an end.

After the show, he wasn't even able to answer Matthew's question, all of sudden he felt a strong pair of arms around him from behind.
"Geeeee!" he heard the voice of his brother.
"Hey Mikes! Great show, man!" He answered, finally turning around and hugging his brother back.
"Thanks! How's it going! Haven't heard from you in a while." Letting go of his bigger brother, Mikey was smiling from ear to ear, happy to see his brother again.
"Great! I will be able to publish my first comic soon, if everything will keep going well. School's going great, too. How is mom? And the job? or are you going full-rock now?" Gerard laughed at the thought.
He would always joke around with Mikey about 'going full-rock'. It was a thing that started in Jersey, when they were practising together in Gerard's little basement room. Simply, it was a phrase for them starting their own band and going on a world tour. The thought was great, but it never came true. Comic's felt more right at that time for Gerard, so he wen't off the Musician way and onto the road of Art. After he got accepted in the SVA in New York, he moved out and left his family behind, but they were fine with that. They believed in him - they still do. His parents were proud of him, since the artistic stuff made him get away from the drugs and alcohol, got him out of his depressions.
Mikey moved out with Ray a few months later, saying that he always wanted to live in New York and it would give him a bigger Chance to become a better Guitar player. It did, now that he heard him play again.
They still met their parents, though. Mikey more often than Gerard, since he was most of the time spending in his little artroom, drawing, painting, creating.
"They're doing great! I heard they bought a dog now. This little one mom always wanted to have! Haha, no, I'm still working at the Records shop. It's great. I met a girl there, name's Kristin. I think it could maaaaaaaaaaaybe turn out into something, y'know." He smiled sheepishly, a slight blush creeping onto his already red cheeks.
"That's cool. Get her then, wild one! But uh.. is Ray fine with that?" Gerard grinned at his brother at first, earning a slight punch on his arm, before turning more serious again.
The color slightly faded out of Mikey's face and his featured turned back to his old pokerface. "Yeah. He found someone actually too, a friend of her. At first it was a bit troublesome, but after he met both, it was fine. He's all the time talking about her! It's weird - but fine." He smiled.
Soon, the rest of the band came to them.
"Hey Gerard! Nice to see you again!" Ray gave him a slight hug, as happy as ever.
"Hello Ray, yeah, nice to know you're still taking care of my lil' brother."
"I heard that!"
Laughter filled the little group.
"So you're Mikey's big brother he was all the time talking about? Nice to meet you." The short boy interrupted.
"Yeah, I'm his cool older brother!" Gerard said, imitating some cool guy.
"Hehe. I'm Frank." Frank introduced himself with this grin which held some kind of emotion Gerard couldn't tell.
"I'm Bob. Cool to finally know the person he's all day blubbering about." The taller guy said, now smiling too. It made him look much more friendlier.
They kept drinking a bit, Matthew out of sight since the concert already, probably hooked up someone, Gerard thought. That was fine. He was happy if he finally found someone. He deserved a nice Lady on his side.
Sooner than thought, it had gotten already pretty late, signalising Gerard that he should slowly make his way home now.
"Okay guys, as nice as it is with you, I need to go now. Still got some comic pages to finish!" Gerard said, earnign the attention of the bandmembers.
"Naww... Okay. Let's meet up soon again. Maybe you can come to brand practise!" Mikey said, full of energy again.
"Sure. See you guys around!" He waved goodbye to them and made his way out of the little bar.
It wasn't really cold, but the warmth of the day was nearly gone now. Still, the fresh air was refreshing and way better than inside the bar.
Inhaling and exhaling the air deeply, he started his way to his apartment, deciding to not call a cab since it would be simply a waste of money. the fresh breeze was feeling good on hsi warm skin, making his bright red hair flying around behind his hair, playing in the wind.
Soon enough, he reached the front door of his apartment, entered the flat, got himself ready for bed and was asleep even before he tocuhed the soft mattress of his large bed.
This night, he was sleeping better than the nights before, his mind finally coming to rest instead of playing around new comic pages or painting ideas.

Notes

Hey guys!
So this is the first chapter.
It's a bit messy, I know... but I'm trying my best to keep things realistic.
And try to not rush into stuff, y'know? It would be... I don't know. It wouldn't fit.
And I don't want it in that way to turn out.

Let me know what you think!
Your opinion is really important for me!

Much love, stay awesome
