Gerard quickly stood up and pulled Mikey into a tight hug, pinning his arms to his side. A huge smile spread across his face, not caring that he was crushing his head into his younger brother's shoulder,
"Is it Pete? It's Pete isn't it. Did you fucking kiss him?" Mikey looked away, his face growing pink. "Oh my god you kissed him," Gerard turned around to the sofa, "I told y- Frank?"
A hand rose from the gap between the coffee table and the sofa, which was quickly grabbed by Gee, who pulled his now disgruntled boyfriend back up to his feet. Frank let his head fall onto Gerard's shoulder and mumbled a quiet "I hate you," into his shoulder. Mikey stood by, slightly awkwardly, still blushing.
"Get the fuck back upstairs to your boyfriend and hold fuckin hands or something," Gee laughed, pushing at Mikey's shoulder.
"I- he's not my- we're not- I mean... Fuck it, I'm going back to the roof."
When Mikey met Pete back on the roof, his tattooed arms were covered with a light grey hoodie that seemed to be at least 2 sizes too big for him.
"Mikey?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to go back to school. I haven't actually gone to school yet as... well, as Pete I guess. I mean moving might help, but they're gonna call me a name that isn't mine, and PE, and bullying and everything. I'm just fucking terrified." Pulling Pete closer with the arm wrapped around his shoulder, Mikey looked up at the twinkling lights above,
"You could tell them, the teachers, tell them your name's Pete. They should listen. And if not, you can tell your Aunt and Uncle or something, and I'll stick with you. It's my first year without Gee there, he leaves in September with Frank for college but we'll have Ray with us, I guess."
"Yeah. I just hate being called Ashley, and if the other kids find out, I'll just get bullied and it'll be shitty all over again." Pete leaned into Mikey's side, smiling as the taller boy let his head rest against Pete's.
"We'll be okay. I promise."
The two sat on the roof in silence, looking out at the stars with their arms around each other, trying to forget about the box of Nerds now in the gutter, safe from the world.
