You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In High School
I Believe We're The Enemy
GERARDS POV
Frank and I were sitting in the kitchen now, I had made us both a cup of coffee while we waited for Mikey at a small table. Frank sat twiddling his fingers as I drank away. My eyes traced up and down his arms, studying his tattoos. I always looked at peoples arms, their wrists for signs. I sighed and placed my own arms under the table trying not to think about that. Frank noticed that my mood had once again dropped, I tried to pull a convincing smile in hope that he wouldn't ask. Before he had time to Mikey had barged through the back door.
"Gee!" He shouted from the hall. He sounded annoyed.
"In here, Mikey!" I called.
"Why didn't you wait for me" he continued as he walked through, "You know I don't like it when..oh" His eyes were in Franks direction now he seemed to look at Franks top, noticing he was wearing what belonged to me. He then looked at what i was wearing noticing i had changed too. Oh god, he didnt think..?
"NO, mikey...at school today, this Josh guy.." I began to explain but Mikey cut me off as he had came closer to me.
"YOUR FACE" he shouted angrily, "What the fuck did he do!?" He roared.
"Is it that bad, shit what if mum.." I began to panic but was once again interrupted by a furious Mikey.
"Gee, don't change the subject, tell me what happened first!" He demanded.
I looked over at frank. He was looking at me as if to say "tell him". His eyes made me melt, I don't know why but I couldn't betray those eyes. I sighed and looked back to Mikey who was standing impatiently.
"I...He.." I didn't know how to explain it, my throat went dry and I could feel the tears coming back to my eyes, I felt Frank putting his arm on my back to comfort me.
"Gerard had been with me at lunch," Frank spoke for me, "Josh then came over and started giving me shit, I told him to leave us both alone then he noticed Gerard." I gulped as I remembered. "Then he just went for Gerard." Frank continued. I looked up to see Mikey with sympathy filled in his eyes, Frank still had his arm on me. His touch really helped me feel better.
"But...why?" Mikey questioned, "He was in my Gym class too and he..." he stopped as he realised he had answered his own question. Anger grew over his face, he gritted his teeth. "So this was because of me!?" he asked with venom filling his voice. He sat himself down across from Frank and I as he tried to calm himself down. He looked back at me, instead of hate being in his eyes all i could see was sadness now. "I'm, I'm Sorry, Gee" he cried. "This is all my fault." he added looking dissapointed with himself.
I gently placed Franks arm off me and leant over the table to Mikey. "Don't you think that, I would die for you Mikey, dont you worry about me!" I said and kissed his forhead before sitting myself back down. He smiled at me, god I hated to admit it but i really loved him. I WOULD die for him, he was my little brother and he meant more to me than anyone.
Frank coughed to break the silence. He giggled at his sillyness, as did Me and Mikey.
"Mikey, this is Frank! You were with his friends today i think?" I introduced him also trying to slyly shange the subject.
"Bob and Ray?" Mikey asked looking over to Frank.
"Yeah! How cool is that? All we need to do now is get Gee to meet them and we could be like.. like a gang!" he laughed, "Right, i'm the godfather!" he cheekily grinned.
"Pfft, you wish!" I said playfully. Mikey looked at us witha smirk. What was his problem, we were just messing about. I rolled my eyes at him.
MIKEYS POV
Gerard was acting unusual now. He seemed..happier. Frank really seemed to bring the best out of him, I was glad Gerard had found himself a best friend. He had always needed one. I mean, yeah of coarse I was his best friend but I was his brother. It was practically part of the job description. He needed someone else for when i wasn't around. I looked at them both. If anyone else had seen them they would have mistaken them for lovers! I laughed under my breath and realised they had both heard.
"Right, eh, I think I better head" Frank said nervously as he stood up. "You can just throw away my school shirt, i have plenty more at home" he said to Gerard. I looked at him curiously, he seemed to blush. Gerard noticed too.
"Mikey, you're such a weirdo. I had got blood all over me and when Frank was comforting me I got it on his shirt too" he said explaining it to me. Ah good. I laughed as I imagined what I had first thought.
"I get you now, for a minute there i thought you had both been up to something" I winked at them laughing. Neither of them found it funny. "Sorry, i dont have a good sense of humour." I apologized.
"Yeaah..well, bye Mikey!" he said looking over to me.
"See you, Frank!" I replied kindly.
I watched as him and Gerard awkwardly said their goodbyes to each other and hugged. Why did my presence bother them so much? Frank had soon taken himself outside and left the house.
"He seems nice" I said to Gerard, studying his face. He seemed to be blushing, god my brother was weird.
"Mhhm" was all I managed to hear. He had taken his attention away from me while he cleaned up the cups of coffee.
"So about mum," I began. Gerard paused, he obviously didn't want her to find out. "It's okay, Gee." I continued, "I'll just tell her that we were too tired today and decided to go to bed early, she wont even need to see you!" I reassured him.
Gerard had finished cleaning up and walked over to me. "Mikey, you're the best brother any guy could ask for, you realise that yeah?" he said with kindness.
I tutted at him, "Of coarse i know that, silly" I playfully said to him. He laughed back at me and I put my arms around him for a hug.
"Ow" he flinched, I let go of him.
"Sorry Gee" I sighed.
"Its fine" he smiled back at me.
