Already have an idea for this.

(A Gerard Way fanfic)

Kioni's POV:

So, me and Aims have been friends for quite a while now. I mean we're basically inseparable but these past weeks I've seen a change in them. See in our friend group we only have about 5 of us. Me, Aims, Gerard, Frank and Dems. We're always fucking about in school and out until Gee got a girlfriend. Her name's Trisha, they met in Maths then a week later started dating. When he told all of us that's when Aims changed. Not a lot, its not like they became a bitch, they just got really quiet and rarely got involved with jokes. They rarely even hang out after school now. Somethings up I know there is and I'm gonna find out what.

*text convo*

Kio - Heyyyyy

Aims - Hi Kio

Kio - Listen, none of the others are         round mine at the moment and we haven't hung out just us in a while  so why don't you come over?

Aims - I don't know, I'm kinda tired

Kio - Stay over then, my mum will be fine with it!

Aims - Okay. I'll be there in 20

Kio - Can't wait!

Finally some progress, usually they'll be very persistent on staying home. God I hope they're okay, something must be up.

Soon after I heard my front door being banged on. "They doors unlocked Aims, come in!" I yelled. The sound of the door opening and closing is what I heard until I saw a familiar face. "Hey" I greet. "Hi" they returned. Awkward, that's weird, it never gets awkward between us. They come sit down next to me and I give them a warm hug, they shake under me. I left one hand around their shoulders for comfort before I started asking questions.

"Right, don't be worried okay. I just wanna ask a few things then after we can watch a movie, Mamma Mia sound good?". Not a word, just a slow nod is as much as a response I got. "You've been very quiet recently" I start. "I'm always quiet." Aims shyly defended. "Well more quiet then usually then, you rarely talk when Gee, Frank and Dems are around. This is the most of heard from you in weeks!" I explained to my now tense friend. "Sorry" they mumbled. Lightly squeezing their shoulder I continued, "Is anything going on? You can tell me anything, no judgement, no bullshit and I won't tell anyone.". They brought their head up to look at me. "No one?". "Absolutely no one.". Sighing heavily the started, "I guess I've just been feeling down recently...". Trailed off, I hit a dead end again. "Feeling down? Is there a reason?" I pressed on. Yes I felt kinda bad for getting them to carry on but I had to know, how else would I help them and get them back to being Aims. "Yeah....but I can't say it, I promised myself I wouldn't tell a soul." they stated, shaking my arm off them. "Aims please, I wanna help you. Its killing me to see you so down, it can be anything. Big or small I'll still be here every step of the way." I said endearingly, they're honestly started to scare me. It must if helped a bit since their head rested on my shoulder. Finally some normality. "I like someone, a guy who we both know quite well and it's killing me that I like him.". A crush? Whoever this guy is who is hurting my best mate I swear I'll find him and hang him for his ceiling.

"A crush? That should be a good thing right?" I questioned. They shook their head against my shoulder. "Yeah a good thing, not when this guy has a girlfriend and I'm being fucking stupid being heartbroken over it and worried about ruining his relationship over it!". Shit, this sounds bad. "Aims look at me.". I felt their head turn upwards to face me. In return I look down to them. "Who is it?". Safe to say I should of worded it more tame since as soon as I said it they curled up on my sofa away from me, hugging a pillow and vigorously shook their head. "No, no I can't!" their voice shakely muffled in the pillow. "No, it'll ruin everything. I'll ruin the friendship group!". Getting up off the sofa, I knealed on the floor infront of where Aims was and pressed my hand down on the pillow revealing their tear stained face. "You won't ruin a single thing, I promised you I wouldn't tell anyone and I will not break that promise.". "It's...its.....its Gerard okay!" they cry out. "Gee?!".
