Mikey Way Oneshots

Trigger warning: bullying
(I hope it's not too bad, "only" shoving around and getting called names like "nerd", nothing involving blood or anything)

On my way from history, it happened for the second time today already. I started to wonder what I had done to them as the group of what only could be called the 'popular kids' approached me.

The tall blondie smirked down at me with a glint in her eyes that made me fear her next actions. And her fingernails. Seriously, they looked like tiny blades. "Well look who's here again, guys. Little Y/N. Would be a shame if you lost your homework wouldn't it?"

And with that, she ripped the block on top of my books from my hands. I tried to protest but knew that it wouldn't do much. This girl wouldn't listen to me but I would be damned if I didn't try. "This isn't even my homework, it's-"

"Shut up, you stupid nerd!" One of the other girls on the sidelines sneered. She looked at her companions for approval and batted her long (and most likely fake) eyelashes. What? That didn't even make sense!

I stared at blondie numbly as she ripped my art block to shreds. After the first few pages my defense mechanism kicked in and I tried to grab the paper from her. At this point, I was just mad because I had no idea why they suddenly picked on me.

All of this had started this morning; I had walked to school like I did most of the time because the bus was awful. I wasn't popular or even something remotely close to it so I had been pretty flattered as Mikey Way had handed me a coffee at the gates to hell. We didn't talk regularly, just sat together in one or two classes and he was a sweet guy. Maybe a bit shy but overall really cool and liked among most of the other students. His brother was fairly popular (which I wasn't exactly sure what for but I didn't really care) so Mikey was too by remote.

The more perplexed I had been as he had given me the coffee with a little smile and offered to walk with me to maths together. I had been on cloud nine the whole way as Mikey had told me about his morning with good bite of sarcasm that I wouldn't have expected from the guy behind the glasses. I let myself hope that we would become friends and not just classmates.

But I should have known that this had been too much luck for me today already. As soon as Mikey had left me on my way to his own locker (we had walked to mine together and I was fighting a blush the whole way), Barbie and her friends had materialized in front of me. Barbie herself had pushed me so I lost my balance and then her friends had scattered all my belongings over the floor so I had to crawl all over the disgusting ground to get them. During this, they laughed loudly and pointed their fingers at me. By the time, I had everything together again, I had been close to tears from embarrassment but suppressed them.

And now, they were here again. What was wrong with them? What did I do? Given, I was not popular and did better in my classes than them but never had I been picked on or bullied for it before. So why now?

Now, one of the boys that had stood silent, knocked into me, making me stumble and fall down. They all giggled madly as I fell on my hands and knees, my books all around me once more.

"Aw, Y/N's on the floor again. Bet you know this place well, huh? Definitely look better down there, right guys?" The same boy who pushed me taunted.

It was all getting too much and I was just glad that I was facing the ground and not them as the tears started to fall.

Because the world hated me, they all fell dead silent as I let out an involuntary sob. But instead of continuing to insult me, blondie chirped sweetly, "Oh hey Mikey! How are you, baby?"

I looked up and yep, Mikey was standing there, eyes darting between me on the ground and the people around me. For horrible twenty seconds, I thought he would join them in their taunting, admitting that it had been all a joke.
