Summary: When Frank met Mikey Way’s little brother, he was running on the high of his first big gig with Pencey Prep and was half way to getting completely trashed.
When Frank met Mikey Way’s little brother, he was running on the high of his first big gig with Pencey Prep and was half way to getting completely trashed.
The kid was there dwarfed by both Mikey and Ray who had promptly pulled him in between them and were too busy glaring at anyone who looked at him in the wrong way, that they didn’t notice when Frank began to look at him.
He was kind of fucking adorable. With his short black hair and long bangs that kept falling into his face. He was hunched into himself dwarfed by a hoodie that Frank is pretty sure belonged to Ray, and had his full bottom lip caught between his teeth looking down at the table as if it was the most fascinating thing that he had ever seen.
The kid shifted and tapped black painted fingernails against the table. His fingers catching and skidding on the liquid left over from the condensation of the four beers Ray and Mikey had had. He looked up as if feeling Frank’s eyes on him and his eyes caught Frank’s.
They were huge and a hazel that was too fucking green and outlined in black eye liner that was smudged a bit as if he had had it on all day. There was something else in those huge eyes, something that Frank wanted to corrupt. It wasn’t until Mikey had turned to him and said, “Hey Frank, meet my little brother Gee” that Frank realized that it was innocence, because this was Mikey Way’s fucking fourteen year old little brother.
Frank took an unnecessary gulp of his beer that made the half empty beer into fully empty and looked back to the kid who was still watching Frank, his eyes--if it was even possible--huger and more innocent than before.
He ended up coughing half of it back out, but it made Mikey watch him with a frown on his face that told Frank that he was like maybe two minutes away from breaking out the soup and blankets and hustling him to his bed at his apartment, “I’m fine Mikeyway. Just drank the beer a little too fast.”
Mikey nodded lips pursed and turned to his brother, “Now that it’s been established that the security at this club sucks mind telling me what’s going on?”
Mikey Way’s little brother looked away from where he was still watching Frank and turned his guileless eyes at his brother.
They shared a look that was full of eyebrows and sighs and fucking shrugs and a head tilt thing that Frank had only ever seen Mikey use once, and that was when he was arguing with Ray that one time about some girl that Ray had left the club with. Mikey finally crossed his arms around his chest and raised one eyebrow. The kid blushed a rosy pink staining his cheeks and disappearing into the collar of the hoodie.
“It’s not like that,” he muttered looking away and tapping his fingers into a fast rhythm on the table.
Mikey just uncrossed his arms and ruffled his hair, “Whatever you say, Gee.”
Gee just slumped even more into himself and it took Frank a moment to realize that he was hugging his knees to his chest. Wow, he was tinier than Frank.
Gee looked up at him and bit his bottom lip again. He cut his eyelashes to the side and blushed hotly when he saw that Frank was watching him.
Holy crap, the kid had a crush on him.
Frank found that sort of funny, so when Ray took Gee to the bar to buy him some pop Frank slipped in next to Mikey, “Hey, your brother? He has a crush on me.”
Mikey just gave Frank a look as if he was assessing him or something, like he does to people he doesn’t know who are flirting with Ray. After a few minutes, Mikey nodded to himself, “Yes, he does. So be nice to him and don’t break his heart alright? It‘s his birthday.”
Frank just hugged Mikeyway sideways and turned to smile at Gee who was walking up with Ray.
The kid tripped on thin air and nearly face planted on the floor if it was not for the quick thinking of Toro who stopped him from hitting the floor. The kid was permanently red and he sat across from Frank and hunched in his seat and looked down at his drink and didn’t look anywhere else.
Frank grinned and moved from Mikey’s side and sat next to Gee, “Hey Gee is it?”
If his cheeks turned any redder his head was going to explode, “It’s actually Gerard.”
Frank smiled, “Gerard, hey. So what brings you here? You a fan?”
Gerard nodded his head and the flush disappeared down to his neck. Frank was really sure that if he touched his cheek he would be warm. Frank hadn’t realized that he was reaching to touch his cheek until his fingers were brushing against the too warm skin. Gerard looked at him with wide eyes, his mouth half open tiny teeth peeking through.
He was just too cute. Frank kind of wanted to pinch his cheeks, and at the same time kiss him just to see how he would react.
“Tell me Gerard have you ever been kissed?”
There was a silence that fell over the table that made Frank believe that he had just propositioned the kid or something. Gerard’s eyes widened and he shook his head slowly.
“Gee,” Mikey began, but Frank just shoot him a look. He wasn’t about to do anything stupid. He bent down and pressed his lips on the other cheek before stroking the cheek his fingers were still pressed against.
“There,” he whispered.
Gerard’s eyes widened even more and his cheeks flamed a whole lot worse than before. Frank grinned and sat back in his seat. He sent Mikey a wink, because really, he wasn’t about to mess around with a kid who was five years younger than him.
