Watching From Afar // Frerard

Chapter 16

Frank's P.O.V

"What do you want Mikey?" I asked trying to get my arm out of Mikey's grip.

"Have you noticed how Gerard is looking at you?"

"No."

"Well you should. I think he likes you. Like more than a friend. Which he probably won't act on it any more than he is right now since he's on the football team and all that stupid stuff but I think he might be gay."

I swallowed hard. Mikey didn't know how close to the truth he was. "Mikey that's impossible. I've seen how your brother treats girls. He's definitely not gay."

Mikey had started to pace and the more worked up he got the more his arms started to flail as he talked. "Then he could be bisexual! I don't know Frank, but I know he isn't straight. He treats and talks to you way better than he talks to looks at any girls. I always wondered but I didn't think it was true. I mean playing football and being gay or bi..." he shuddered at the thought.

"Mikey, what's so wrong with playing football and being bi or gay?"

"Football players are sort of known for hitting each other on the ass! To know that my brother could like that, oh God."

"Mikey do you have a problem with your brother being gay?" I asked hoping that he would say no and that would be the end of the conversation.

"No, of course not. I'm fine with the fact that he could be gay, what I have a problem with is him possibly liking being smacked on the ass by a jock! The only reason he plays is because he loves football. He doesn't like hanging with the team. That's why he hangs with me a lot."

Somehow I knew that wasn't going to be the end of the conversation.

A guy, who looked familiar, walked down the aisle we were at and it was probably weird to walk up to since neither of us were looking for comics and Mikey still had his hands held dramatically in the air.

We both grabbed a random comic and started slipping through the pages. As soon as the guy moved to a different part of the store we put the comics back.

"I kind of figured that's why he hangs with you. But if he's only playing for the sport than you know he doesn't get any pleasure from that stuff."

"I know. But what if he does?" Mikey said looking sort of worried.

"Hey," I said putting my hand on his shoulder. "You don't even know for sure that he's like that so don't start thinking of people you don't want him getting pleasure from. Just focus on what you do know."

"But nothings for sure Frank. Like I said I don't know if he's straight, so that means I don't know if I should jump to conclusions or not."

"Just don't. And I think if this worries you so much you should talk to your brother about it. Not tell me what you're worried about."

"Okay, thanks Frank. So here's a question... are you gay?"
