"Sorry that I worried you babe." Mike apologised.
"It's fine. You're safe."
"I'm always safe.
"How?" I asked. He lifted his shirt, revealing a handgun.
"I have a permit. I'm a good shot. The safety is always on."
"As long as it isn't on you when we cuddle."
"It'll be near us. Not on me."
"Good." I turned to Vic.
"I have one too." He replied.
I smiled and nodded. "Well, I'm gonna go home."
I walked outside, Mike following. "Shit. Why is Frank here?" He whispered. "Stay behind me."
"Hey Mike." He said.
"What do you want Frank?" He asked.
"I heard you threatened Gerard. You know I don't let people threaten my boyfriend."
"He was threatening my customers."
"How would you feel if I threatened your boyfriend?" He pulled I gun from his hoodie and pointed it at me.
He started walking towards us. "Mike I'm scared." I whispered.
"Frank."
"Mike." He replied.
Mike took my hand and I put my arm around his waist. "It'll be okay, baby." He whispered.
"Is that how you treat him? I give Gerard a kiss at least. Not just hold his hand."
"If you didn't have a gun out I would."
"Frank, right?" I asked. He nodded. "Please. Put the gun down. I wasn't there, but it probably was an empty threat. I don't know much about the drug thing, but I know you're trying to protect your boyfriend. That's what you're going to do because you love him. I've been with him for three days, almost four. I don't know if I love him, but I like him. Ive been through a lot of sh.it in my life. I would've gone to the end of the world to protect my mum and dad. Please. Just put the gun away."
Frank looked from Mike to me. We made eye contact. I mouthed please and he put it away. "Thank you." I said.
"Threaten my boyfriend again and I will make your life hell." Frank said and then ran off. Mike turned around and hugged me.
"Cmon. It's almost eleven."
I got in the drivers side and put the window down. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Maybe." He whispered. He leaned into the car and pecked my lips. "Yeah. I will."
"Mkay."
"Text me so I know you're safe."
"I will. I'll see you later, Mikey."
"See you later, baby." He pecked my lips and then backed up. I pulled out of his driveway and drove home.
I went to my room and stripped. I plugged my phone up and laid down. I fell asleep, forgetting to text Mike.
Mikes POV
I stayed up all night, waiting for Tony to text me. He never did though. Vic came in around two. He checks up on me at night.
"What's wrong?"
"Tony hasn't texted me."
"He's home. His brother texted me."
"Okay. Good."
"Go to sleep." He said. I nodded and laid down. I fell asleep.
I woke up at one the next afternoon. I decided to get ready and see Tony at his work. When I finished, I looked like sh.it. I shrugged and went downstairs.
"You look terrible." I coughed.
"I feel terrible too." I replied.
"Are you sure you need to we Tony?" Vic asked. He came over and felt my forehead. "You have a fever. Let me check your throat."
I sat on the couch and he sat on my lap. He turned the flashlight on his phone on and I opened my mouth. He grimaced and turned it off.
"You have a sore throat. Lay down. I'll get you soup and tea." He said as he got up. I nodded and laid down. I texted Tony that I was sick and I didn't want him sick so I wasn't coming.
Vic got me a cold towel and I put it on my forehead. Half way into Harry Potter I fell asleep. I slept for about an hour because another person came home. I kept my eyes closed and felt another body against mine. I put my arm around Tony. I could tell it was him because of his scent and the way his body fit with mine. I felt him kiss my cheek and I smiled. I opened my eyes and saw my turtle smiling at me.
"Hey, baby." I whispered.
"Hey, Mikey." He replied. I put my forehead on his and rubbed our noses. His eyes fluttered close and I moved some hair from his face. I pulled Tony closer.
"Mike?" Tony asked.
"Yeah?"
"I really like you." He whispered.
"I really like you, too."
