New Years Eve 1994…. (Frank 13 Gerard 14)

“Okay Frankie, truth or dare?” Mikey challenged.

“Dare.” Frank grinned mischievously.

“I dare you...” Mikey thought about it for a minute. “I got it…I dare you to kiss Gerard on the lips!”

“You’re crazy Mikey.” Gerard laughed nervously.

He wasn’t about to admit it but he wished that Frank would kiss him.  Looking over at the boy sitting next to him he couldn’t help but get butterflies.  Gerard couldn’t tell him that he like him…Frank would probably call him a freak and never speak to him again…and Gerard never wanted to lose Frank as a friend so he didn’t say anything.

“You have to it’s a dare…” Mikey said looking proud.

He felt good about his dare.  Even though he was only 13 he knew his brother liked Frank a lot…just like he like Bob from his science class.  He knew that Frank liked Gerard too.  Mikey didn’t think it was wrong, if that was what they wanted it was fine with him.  He just liked to see his brother happy.

“Come on Mikey,” Gerard said. “What makes you thin-“

His words were cut off by a soft pair of lips on his own.  For a moment all he could do was sit stunned, then he kissed him back.  Frank pulled away suddenly raising his arms in triumph. “There…didn’t think I would do it did you.”

Unbeknownst to Frank he had just crushed Gerard in the worse way possible.  He had given Gerard a taste of paradise, only to throw him back in the pits of hell.  He hadn’t meant it, Frank was just know to do the extreme.  Gerard rubbed the back of his hand across his lips and pretend to think it was gross.

Later that night Mikey would find Gerard crying in his room, though he didn’t go in to ask what was wrong…he didn’t have to Mikey knew he’d messed up.  But what the two didn’t realize was that three blocks away, huddled in his closet out of sight and away from the world a small black haired boy was biting his lip to hold back the sobs that racked his small frame, the same lip that would one day bare a silver hoop.

Seven Years Later…

“HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!” Mikey’s voice rang loud through the tour bus as they all sat around.

“Jezz Mikey, we’re all sitting right here, do you have to be so loud?” Bob asked covering his ears like it had truly hurt.

“Yeah, I don’t think the shouting is necessary.” Ray agreed turning to looked at the younger Way brother.

“You guys are such party poopers.” Mikey grinned.

He looked over at his brother as he sat comfortably in the couch next to their rhythm guitarist Frank.  A smile crept onto his face as he watched, an old idea came back to mind and he hoped this time that it would work.  He hoped that now that both boys had grown a little that they would be wiser of each other’s reactions then they had been the last time they had played Mikey’s favorite game.

“Let’s play truth or dare.” Mikey piped up.

Gerard turned to look at his younger brother to see the familiar twinkle in his eyes.  Gerard groaned shaking his head. “Mikey I don’t know what you got planed but it’s not going to work.”

“Awww, come on Gee-tard, don’t be such a spoiled sport.” Mikey grinned.

“I’ll play.” Frank said.

Mikey looked around at the other who slowly caved in under his big puppy dog eyes.  Clapping like a little kid Mike plopped down on Bob’s lap and laughed as Bob rolled his eyes.  He knew it still made Bob a little uncomfortable to show affection toward him in front of people, even though he knew the entire band was completely happy that Mikey and Bob were together.

“Okay, Frank you start.” Mikey smiled.

“Okay, we’ll I think it’s time to finally strike revenge on a certain person for whacking me with a drumstick earlier during our performance.” Frank said.

“Oh, come on,” Bob sighed. “It was a stray….I said I was sorry, what more do you want from me?”

“A dare will suffice.” Frank replied.

Bob rolled his eyes. “Whatever.”

“I dare you to…” Frank though about it for a minute looking around.

He noticed as he looked around the bus that Ray was messing with his hair.  A grin spread across his face and he began to giggle.  Everyone was looking at him in caution, but it was Ray, who was now making contact with him that was worried for his well being.

“What?” Bob asked.

“I dare you to pour your water on Ray’s head.” Frank snickered.

“I don’t think so.” was Ray’s immediate reaction.

“Frank…” Bob began.

“What are you chicken?” Frank smiled. “What’s your boyfriend going to think if you back out of such a small dare?”

Frank watched as Bob glanced up at the man currently sitting comfortably in his lap.  Mikey raised an eyebrow, shrugging. “I don’t Frank, I think you are right….it really isn’t that big of a dare is it.”

Frank would have to thank Mikey later for going along with him.  Bob groaned again before gently pushing Mikey out of his lap and standing up. “Really guys this is stupid, I’m tired, I’m going to bed, and I’ll see you guys in the morning.”

They all sighed in obvious disappointment and Ray gave a sigh of relief.  Bob casually picked up his glass of water and leaned down as if to kiss Mikey goodnight, only to actually go along with the dare.  Ray yelped and jumped up from his seat as water began to drizzle off his head.  The bus was suddenly filled with laughed as the rest stared at his messed up fro...if there was one thing Ray hated it was someone to mess with his hair.

“BOB!” Ray yelled, “You got five seconds to run before I get a hold of you!”

Bob immediately dogged passed him and out the bus door disappearing into the night, Ray right on his heels, and Mikey following in a fit of laughter.  Frank and Gerard remained on the bus laughing hard enough they were crying.

“Wow…I didn’t think he was really going to do it.” Frank laughed.

“You realize once he’s done with Bob, he’s coming after you, right?” Gerard said wiping his face on his shirt sleeve.

“It’ll be worth it.” Frank grinned.

“You are crazy.” Gerard replied.

There was a long silence that filled the bus as the boys fell into their own thoughts.  Frank turned on the couch to face Gerard completely. “Truth or dare?”

“Um…” Gerard looked over at the smaller man unsure of what to pick after the play out of the last dare, “D…dare?”

“You don’t sound so sure.” Frank replied.

Gerard cleared his throat and more confidently stated, “Dare.”

“Okay, I Frank Anthony Iero….dare you Gerard Arthur Way to…” Frank began.

He knew what he was going to say next would either be the beginning of something good, or the start of something heart wrenching.  Frank’s heart was pounding unbelievably fast as he stared at the man across from him.  He wanted so bad to just tell Gerard how much he loved him…but if Gerard didn’t feel the same then that meant things would never be the same.

Frank prayed that even if Gerard did reject him that Gerard wouldn’t be disgusted by him.  He didn’t think so considering Gerard had been completely fine with his brother loving Bob…but it’s completely different when you’re dealing with yourself then with someone else.

“Frank,” Gerard’s voice broke through his thoughts.

“Sorry,” Frank shook himself mentally. “I dare you to kiss me…on the lips.”

There…he said it, it was out.  Now all Frank could do was wait…wait to be rejected…or wait to be saved.  On the outside Frank seemed calm and collected, but on the inside he was a mess.  His mind was racing and none of his thoughts made any sense.

“Only if you promise me something.” Gerard finally spoke leaning closer.

“What,” Frank breathed.

What he really wanted to say was ‘anything’.

“Promise me I can keep you for myself.” Gerard answered.

Gerard couldn’t believe he’d just said that out loud.  What the fuck was he thinking?  Frank probably though he was insane.  It was just a dare…not a marriage proposal.  He was waiting for the look of disgust to cross Franks face.

“Promise…” Frank whispered.

Neither would realize till later on how happy they had made each other, nor how stupid they had been, the first time they’d kissed, for not saying anything to each other.

Lips crashed together as if they were drowning and they had only each other for air.  Gerard wrapped his arms around the smaller man’s waist, while Frank buried his fingers in Gerard’s raven hair.

They were both so lost in the each other that both failed to notice three pairs of eyes peaking at them for a moment before ducking back out of the bus to leave the two alone.

“Finally,” Mikey breathed, shivering in the cold.

Bob wrapped his arms around the scrawny man, helping warm him, “Yeah, I thought we were going to have to hold up signs or something…shit.”

“I swear for being so smart they both are quite oblivious.” Ray shook his head, his hair a mess.  He was going to have to rewash it and blow-dry it again to fix it.

“Well, the important thing is their happy.” Mikey smiled.

Frank had never been so happy in his life.  He couldn’t believe it…Gerard had accepted him…he wasn’t disgusted, in fact he felt the exact same way.  Frank didn’t have to pretend no more, it was out.  He had no worries about the rest of the band, they would except them just as everyone had accepted Bob and Mikey.  The fans…well there would be a few broken hearts, but most already thought there had been something going on between the two men.

“I love you, Gerard.” Frank gasped when they both pulled away for air.

“I love you too, Frank.” Gerard smiled.

Frank glanced over at the clock and saw it read 12:01 a.m. “Happy New Years!”

Gerard laughed before kissing him again. “Happy New Year, Frankie.”
