I stayed awake and just watched Mikey sleep until seven before I woke him up. I kissed his forehead before his nose, mouth, and then his two eyelids. He tried to groaned and move over, but I sat on him and kept kissing him until he opened his eyes and looked at me. He rubbed his eyes before taking a deep breath and putting his glasses on. I jumped off of him and walked towards the door. Mikey got off of the bed slowly and I just rolled my eyes at him before I grabbed his hands and dragged him through the house towards the kitchen. Gerard was still sitting on the couch and the dark circles under his eyes only confirmed that he hadn't slept at all. I pulled Mikey into the kitchen and made more coffee. We went through coffee way too fast in this house. I made three mugs before I went out and brought one to Gerard. He smiled and took the cup gratefully before I joined Mikey in the kitchen. I tangled my feet with his under the table while he just smiled softly.

"Hey, Frankie babe, I want to take you somewhere for a surprise. After coffee we will head out, okay?" Mikey looked down at his coffee and had a giant smirk on his face. He was trying to hide his emotions from me and not show me that he was laughing at me.

I was bouncing in my seat like I usually did while I was excited. I kept moving constantly and wiggling in my seat. I tried to keep my mouth shut but I was excited. Gerard entered the kitchen with an empty mug and took one look at me before he started laughing harder than I had ever seen him laugh, "Mikey, what did you do to him? He looks like a kid on Christmas morning."

Mikey joined in with his brother while I just sat there. I linked my hands with Mikey's until his eyes widened to a considerable amount, "Oh my God, Frankie. Your birthday is in four days! Fucking Halloween is in four days!"

I stopped bouncing in my seat and got up quickly almost knocking the chair over. I ran over to the calendar and felt even more excited, "Four days until my birthday! Holy shit, we are definitely going trick-or-treating!" I looked over at Mikey and he was nodding and probably already picking out his costume. I looked over at Gerard to see if he approved or would be going, but he had this weird knowing look in his eyes. They ran chills up my spine and I carefully looked back towards the calendar. When I looked back up at Gerard his whole expression had changed and he seemed like he was joking.

"Come on! You cannot expect me to go trick-or-treating with you guys. You two are definitely too old for this. I'll be considered your chaperone or something." Gerard was gesturing with his hands a lot and Mikey was smirking evilly.

"Come on, Gerard! Adults always go trick-or-treating with their children." Mikey spoke softly and Gerard gave him a long glare in return.

"Yes," I piped in Gerard rolled his eyes, "it would be so much fun. Plus adults go trick-or-treating all of the time. Please say that you are in?" I pushed my lower lip out and crossed my arms over my chest. Gerard ran a hand through his hair before he deflated.

"Only grumpy parents go as chaperones. I totally do not want to go." I pushed my lip out farther and winked at Mikey. Mikey giggled quietly as Gerard's face changed.

"Damnit, Frank. It's only because you are a puppy. So, how old is the puppy turning in four days?" Gerard spun the whole situation around while I just walked over to Mikey. Once my back was turned to Gerard I stared at Mikey with panicked eyes. I could see that he was panicking but he wasn't going to show it. I plopped down onto his lap and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"This is an old puppy." We both started laughing while I smacked Mikey lightly. I couldn't hear Gerard's laughter join in and I was afraid to look at his face. Mikey nudged his nose on mine while I just laughed. Gerard finally set his mug in the sink before he excused himself from the room. I wrapped my arms around Mikey's neck and he tried to stand up from the table. I squeaked loudly as Mikey situated me in his arms and lifted me up. I hung onto his neck for dear life until it seemed that he had me. He carried me past the living room and into the bedroom where he dumped me on the bed. I laughed hard as he jumped on top of me, straddling my waist. I giggled underneath him as he tickled the crap out of me. I was trying to roll over and push him off when Gerard came in the room and knocked on the already opened door. Mikey didn't bother hoping off of me and I was trying to hold in all of my laughter. Gerard's face was really red while Mikey and I were actually calm.

"I, uh, just wanted to tell the two of you that I'll be back tonight. I called a cab to take me to work. I'll, uh, you know, see you both later." Gerard was talking quickly and shut the door hastily behind him as he left. I dissolved into another pile of giggles. Mikey rolled off of me and helped me off of the bed. I started walking into the closet to pick out a pair of clothing while Mikey lightly slapped my butt. I let out a shocked gasp before I kissed him on the lips. He pulled me into the closet with our lips still connected. I felt like my head was going to explode before we finally pulled apart. We both started gasping for air and Mikey just smiled. I picked out two random items of clothing each and I shooed Mikey out of the closet. He pecked me on the lips again before closing the door behind himself. I smiled at the door my boyfriend had just left from. I slid my clothes on and looked down at myself. I was wearing all black and my hair was most likely a mess. I knocked on the door quickly before I heard Mikey give me the approval to come out. We were dressed pretty much the same and it made me laugh. Mikey crossed the room in three strides and wrapped his arms around me again and I did the same.

"I love it when you wear my clothes." Mikey bit my earlobe and sent shivers all down my spine, "Frankie, you are so beautiful and perfect."

I blushed lightly, "I like wearing your clothes." I paused and tried to figure out the words that Mikey meant to me. I thought over our week together and I just smiled, "Mikey, you are everything to me. I love you."

Mikey pressed our bodies together and I felt the smile that I loved reach across his face, "I love you, too, Frankie." He breathed the words into my ear and I couldn't help but feel my heart swell. I loved him so much. I brought our lips back together before Mikey pulled away, "It's time to get your surprise you little weirdo." Mikey rubbed his hand all through my hair probably ruining it even more.

I pouted slightly, "Yes, but you love this weirdo."

"Of course I do." I smiled again and ran towards the bathroom. I fixed my hair and parted it before making sure that I brushed my teeth. Mikey was already waiting by the door when I exited the bathroom. He already had my cell phone, our wallets, and his keys in his hands. He passed me my things before he linked our hands together. I waited for him to lock the door before disconnecting our hands to get into the car. I was bouncing with excitement as Mikey pulled out of the driveway and started driving.

I had only been to this place one other time in my life and it had been the best day of my life -apart from meeting Mikey. Mikey held my hand after we got out of the car and he led me into their double glass doors. He held the door open for me as I walked inside and I wanted to cry. Mikey held my hand carefully and led my around the store to look at everything inside. I touched everything so delicately and tried not to break down and tell everyone that I had the best boyfriend ever. I slowed down when we reached my favorite part of the store. I pulled down the best looking one in the aisle while Mikey checked the price and gave me a 'thumbs up'. I could feel the tears trying to escape from my eyes and I just sit it down and squeezed Mikey until my arms hurt. He was watching me carefully as I picked it up and played the instrument. Mikey wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to the cash register. I had no idea where he got the money from, but I didn't dare ask. We approached the counter as I watched the instrument like it was going to disappear at any moment. I hoped with everything inside of me that this wasn't a dream. I set the instrument on the counter and the lady whistled loudly.

"That's a nice guitar. We've had many people coming in here looking at her. What are you going to name her?" The lady at the register smiled at me and I felt at home here. I felt the same warmth that I felt at Mikey's apartment.

"I'm going to name her Pansy." I paused as the transaction was made. The girl at the register kept looking happily between Mikey and I. I felt some sense of belonging and I knew what I had to do, "Hey, can I get a job application?"

The girl's eyes brightened and she laughed, "Yes, you totally could. I'll be right back!" She went into small closet room and came out with a few forms and documents for me to sign, "It's a lot, but it's totally worth it. What's your name, by the way?"

"I'm Frank and this is my boyfriend Mikey." I pointed to Mikey and he seemed to be beaming as well. She girl nodded before she put a plastic covering over my brand new guitar. She waved as we left and I was dancing. Mikey helped me place the guitar in the backseat and I hopped into the front, "I have no idea how you paid for this, but I love you so much."

"You don't have to worry about that and I love you, too, babe."
