"Good morning, Mikey" I hear Val's voice and feel she's shaking my body softly
"I'm up, I'm up" I hear her giggle
"You better up" I open my eyes and see her get up from the bed to go to the bathroom maybe for showering. I just wait and lay down on the bed, thinking. Did I love her? I mean, if I don't why did I safe her? She's just a stranger. But she's in dangerous, I should help her. But what if her family found us and then kill us? No. I've decided to help her at the first place, and now I will make her safe. No matter what.

She came up from the bathroom, still at the same clothes as last night, but minus make up at her face. She still look beautiful though without that thing. And then I remember she didn't bring anything while runaways with us. "Do you need anything?" I asked
"No, I'm fine, thanks"
"I mean clothes and any girl stuff"
"Oh. Yes, I probably need that."
"I'll go buy it with Gerard. You can stay here"
"But you don't know my size"
"Tell me then" I smirk. She messed up with my hair and said "Go away" like last night. She really know how to make someone's dirty mind go away.
"What? I'm just going to help you buy your stuff" she messed with my hair again. I catch her wrist and pull her close to me. I kissed her lips and I can feel her smile against it. "Good kisser, I see" she said after we pulled away. I kiss her lips once again but then someone's open the goddamn door and make both of us jumped. "Oops, did I bothering you two?" Gerard said and I can tell that he hold his laugh.
"No, we're good" I kissed her forehead and go out from the room and drag Gerard with me.

"Wow, I don't know you brave enough to kiss a girl"
"Shut up, Gee."
"Did you already slept with her?"
"Gerard, I warn you to not talk about it again"
"But why? You love her"
"I don't. I mean, I don't know"
"Come on little brother, it's been probably 2 years since you broke up with her. Maybe it's time to love someone again. Think about it"

Gerard walk pass through me and join with Frank and Ray in living room. Maybe it's time to love someone again. Maybe. But how I know she's the right person? I shook my head, love just makes life complicated. I walk to kitchen and make myself a cup of coffee and then join the others. "Umm, guys?" I catch their attention "Yes, Mikey?" Frank said without turning his head from TV "Frank, can you go shopping with me? I think Val needs some stuff" I can see Gerard's face light up just like an angel. "What?" I mouthed him, he just shook his head and drink his coffee again "Yes, of course.  When?" "What about now?" Frank nod his head and go to his room to grab his car keys "You really care about her" Gerard whisper to my ears before walk to kitchen, probably to get another cup of coffee

"Ray, did you mind if she stay with you until tour started?" I sit next to Ray
"Not at all. I like her already"
"Y-you like her?" And then I hear him laugh like really hard
"What?" I asked
"You should see your pale face. I like her, as a sister or friend or anything like that. Calm down Mikey, I know you like her"
"You know?"
"Everyone who has a pair of normal eyes can see it clearly"
"Did I show it too much?"
"Yes. But it's okay. That's sweet"
I nodded my head and then Frank come with Ray's car key on his hand "I thought that's my car key" Ray said and Frank nodded "Yes it is"

Frank drive away to the nearest mall and we started looking for stuff that probably Val needs. After about 2 hours, we finally got everything. But Frank want to go to Starbucks first. We order our coffee and sit on the corner of the room
"So Mikey, did you think that Valerie is a beautiful girl?"
I nodded my head
"I think so"
"Did you like her, Frank?"
"I don't know. Maybe yes?"
Oh no, not Frank.
"Why?" He asked and took a sip on his coffee
"Just wondering"
"Did you like her too, Mikey?"
"No I don't. But she's sweet"
He nodded his head. Ray was wrong, not everyone can see that I obviously like her. Frank didn't see it.

"Come on, it's getting dark" he said and get up. I nodded my head and follow him. He drive to Ray's and left me still thinking. Should I keep this feeling? Who am I kidding? I won't win against Frank. I am nothing compared with him. He's Frank Iero and I am just Gerard's little brother. See? I even living in my brother's shadows.

We arrived and I found a blue hair girl sit on the couch with her head on Gerard's shoulder. Did Lyn-z have black hair?
"We're home!" Frank shouted and make Gerard and the girl jumped. "Hey they're home" Gerard said and the girl seems like struggling to wake herself up. "Who's that?" I asked a little bit too loud. "Val, of course" Oh right, Gerard already change her hair color. "You really buy all I need?" She said when she saw me and Frank with so many paper bags on our hands "As you wish, Princess" Frank said and put it down on the floor. Welcome jealousy. "I...you really didn't need to buy anything, Mikey" Thank God, she still remember my name. "But thanks" she walk to me and kiss my cheek. Ha! One point for Mikey! "Let me help you to bring it to your room" I said "Thanks again"

"Anyway, you look perfect with blue" I can see her cheek getting red. "Thanks, I thought you wouldn't like it"
"I love it" and I love you. I kissed her head and go to backyard.
I found Gerard with cigarette on his hand "Hey Mikey" I smile at him and sit next to him "Did you know what I've been through today?" I shook my head "Want to hear it?" I nodded "Well, I go to a market with Val. And we spent about an hour to choose what color would her hair be. And she keep said like 'what if Mikey don't like it?' And she almost driving me crazy." I let a soft laugh
"She likes you, Mikey" and then I remember about Frank

"And Frank likes her too, Gerard"
