Yesterday was national kissing day, and I was talking about how it would have been a good excuse for a kiss meme, and how it seemed those kind of themed memes seemed to have died out a little

Will Slowly Fade Away -- Mikey/Gerardturps33July 14 2011, 14:24:33 UTC
I have no idea if this is what you wanted, or if it makes sense to anyone but me. I hope so.
~*~*~*~
“My best memory is leaving this place,” Mikey says, and wraps his hands around the bars of the fence. Despite his thick mittens he can feel the cold of the metal, seeping relentless into his fingers. “The worst was the day you left first.”
Gerard takes a step closer and puts his hand on the bar next to Mikey’s. He holds on, his breath steaming white as he says, “I couldn’t stay, not even for you.”
“I wouldn’t have wanted you to.” Mikey looks at the school, and even now, when he’s older and wiser and most of all, successful, the memories hold tight. “I hated this place.”
“Fucking school.” Gerard laughs, abrupt and brittle. “I want them to ask us to speak, then I’d tell them to fuck off.”
“No you wouldn’t.” Mikey blinks against an icy wind and tucks his chin down close to his chest, when he breathes the fur surrounding his hood tickles his cheeks. “You’d come back to talk to the kids, to tell them that you’d made it.”

This is fabulous! And it makes sense - at least to me. I love the bitter feeling of this (oh god, I couldn't fit into school either /o\ - so it touches all the buried tender places I don't look at too closely). Gerard doesn’t smile, just says, “They didn’t know us back then.” “No, they didn’t,” Mikey says in reply The funny thing is, they don't know them now either. “No you wouldn’t.” Mikey blinks against an icy wind and tucks his chin down... This, because it's so true and I love that Mikey just says it, because they know each other.

Aw this was BEAUTIFUL. A totally unique direction I didn't expect anyone to take with this, a story I don't see written often, and I loved it.
“Fucking school.” Gerard laughs, abrupt and brittle. “I want them to ask us to speak, then I’d tell them to fuck off.”
“No you wouldn’t.”
God, I LOVE how well Mikey knows him, how he makes these statements with such finality (and Gerard does the same of him - You were never meant for the mall), because they know and love each other so fiercly ♥
I loved that it was cold, the details that added, the cold metal, the mittens, their breath in the air. Just - ALL OF IT. I LOVED. THANK YOU ♥ ♥

They do know each other, enough to see the truth always.
Thank you so much, and for all your contributions and comments to the meme. You're a star ♥

When I saw your prompt all I could think of was Mikey saying the best thing about school was leaving, so went from that.
One thing I'll always believe is that Gerard and Mikey know each other inside out.
Thank you for such a lovely comment ♥
