Too Cold to Shiver (Trans Petekey)

Part 15

"GERARD!! I hope you aren't doing anything important at the moment," Mikey exclaimed once Gerard answered her call.

"Nope. I'm just hanging out with Mitch. You should come over and meet him,"

"I didn't call you to talk about your fucking cat," Mikey sassed.

"Rude. He was just telling me how badly he wanted to meet you. Now his dreams are crushed. Anyway, why did you call me?" Gerard asked.

"You're never going to believe this but I have a boyfriend now!!" Mikey squealed with joy.

"A boyfriend?" Gerard asked, with no particular emotion.

"Yep. A boyfriend," Mikey replied, happily.

"Huh. And who is this boyfriend of yours?" Gerard asked.

"Oh my god. You're not going to do that 'protective older brother' shit, are you?"  Mikey asked.

"Hey! Your my baby sister, I have every right to make sure this boyfriend of yours isn't a douche," Gerard answered, matter-of-fact-ly.

Mikey smiled. She really loved it when Gerard called her that. It was nice being addressed correctly.

"He's not a douche. He's really nice and awesome," Mikey explained

"You should let me meet this guy so I can make sure," Gerard suggested.

"That might be a little difficult, considering I met him online," Mikey replied.

"YOU DID WHAT???" Gerard almost yelled.

"What? Is that a problem?"

"Um yeah it's a problem!

"You met him online I'm not sure if you can trust him, I don't trust him. He could be lying to you about everything. He could be a 30 year old man who's gonna come kill you," Gerard exclaimed.
Mikey had tried not to think about the possibility of Pete not being sincere. For all she knew Pete might not have been Pete. But you couldn't just make up someone like Pete With all the crazy shit he did...you just couldn't make that shit up.

"I trust him, Gee. He's not lying. I know," Mikey reassured her brother.

"I'm skeptical but as long as your happy I guess I can't complain," Gerard sighed, defeatedly.

"Thanks. Your the best brother ever."

Gerard laughed, "I know."

"Michael! Come downstairs now!" Mikey heard Mrs. Way call.

Mikey groaned.
"Mom's calling me, I gotta go," Mikey explained.

"Yikes. Good luck," Gerard replied, knowing all too well how their mother was.

"I'll call you back once I'm done talking to her," Mikey promised.

"Cool! Bye, kid, I love you."

"Love you, too. Bye!"

Mikey never called back that night.
