He was his other half. “Frank and I,” “Are going out.” ---------------- The shouting started in earnest. Mikey’s parents could not believe that their son was going out with another man. Frank was nearly about to give all the tears he had in his eye sockets. Mr. Way was not pleased. How could their son turn out to be gay? Mikey corrected that he was not gay, that he was bisexual. In anger, his mother shouted that that made him even more of a whore. ‘My son is going to be a prostitute when he grows up!’ But Frank knew that Mikey was not a whore. Mikey was still a virgin, Frank knew, and Mikey was the most faithful person he knew. Frank shouted at both of them that Mikey deserved respect for coming out and he was met with a cry of ‘I’m not taking your shit, Iero!’ from Mikey’s father. Mikey cried behind his glasses and ran out of the house and down the sidewalk. His brother peered out from his basement bedroom as Frank ran after him. The night was very silent and the only thing Frank heard was his own footsteps and his hoodie blowing behind him as he ran. Mikey was five pavements stones ahead of him. Frank stopped, panting for breath. Once he was able to regain it, he shouted. ”Mikey!” His voice rang out hoarse and tired, which fit, because that was exactly how he felt. Ahead of him, Mikey stopped. His shoulders moved up and down, up and down. A streetlamp flickered somewhere behind Frank’s line of sight. He walked forward slowly and once he reached Mikey, he put a hand on his shaking shoulder. “It’s okay. They don’t mean it,” Frank tried to reassure Mikey, but he knew Mikey was probably broken way beyond repair. His parents where his sanctuary, and when that sanctuary was broken, so was he. “Mikey, please.” Frank tried his hardest not to cry with Mikey, but the tears stung behind his corneas. “Please, dammit!” he shouted when Mikey didn’t answer. He roughly let go of his shoulder and pressed his palms to his eyes, keeping the tears away. “What do you want me to say, Frank!” Mikey grabbed his boyfriend’s arm, eyes watery. “You don’t understand a motherfuckin’ thing, Frank! I…” he paused to cry, then to jerk Frank to face him. They faced each other red-face and blur eyed for a very long time. An owl called somewhere out in a tree, and another couple streetlights came on. Frank turned his head to look back at Mikey’s house, where his parents stood on the doorway. His mother sat crying on the doorstep and his father had his arm wrapped around her tightly. Frank wiped at his eyes. “I don’t know, Mikey. All I know is that they’re gonna tell my parents and then we’re never gonna be able to see each other again, Mikey. And you know what?” Frank waited for Mikey to answer. He didn’t. “I don’t want that, Mikey. I don’t.” Mikey bit at his lip, letting go of Frank’s arm, realizing that Frank was right. It wasn’t the truth in his words or how right his voice sounded. It was that he understood. He understood everything. Their relationship was not normal. It wasn’t just that they were two boys. They were two teenage boys in a relationship that their parents didn’t understand. They were two teenage boys who wanted to be happy and only found solace with each other. Mikey understood. Frank fell down to the curb, holding his face in his hands. Mikey joined him, bringing Frank into an awkward looking tight hug. “Frank…” “Mikey,” Frank began, lifting his head. --------------- Everything went in slow motion from when Frank started speaking to me. His voice was low, so I had to strain my ears to hear him. To add to that, I had been crying so much that there was a dull ringing in the back of my head. The first few times he said it I couldn’t comprehend. ”I love you, I love you, I love you.” “What?” “Mikey, I fucking love you, I love you, I don’t want to lose you and I really fucking love you-“ “Frank.” We vowed to make it through somehow. While he stared down at his converse and the streetlamp made our shadows long I rested my head on his shoulder and whispered the words to myself. "I love you, I love you, I love you." |
Author's CommentsI did not intend for this to be as short as it is. Pairing: Frank and Mikey of My Chemical Romance. Obviously. |
