Danger Days: Keep Running (Book 1 in the Danger Days series)

Chapter Six

Frank's POV

Gerard was staring blankly at Pete and Mikey. Pete said something and Mikey cracked a smile and nodded. Gerard frowned.

I reached across the booth and grabbed his hand from where it was resting on the table. He looked back over to me and gave me a smile. I smiled back, "Come with me." I pulled him out of the booth and outside.

"Frank, where are we going." He asked me confused.

I smiled to myself and didn't answer. We made it around the side of the diner and I pointed to the pool I had filled up earlier. Gerard smiled at me and took his jacket off, throwing it onto the picnic table nearby. He unbuckled his belt and pulled that off, placing it next to his jacket. He pulled his shirt off and I bit my lip. He caught me staring and blushed.

"You going to get in too?"

I smiled and took my jacket off as a response. I stripped down to my underwear and looked over at Gerard. He was putting his hand in to test the water. I smiled and walked over.

"It's not too co-" I cut him off by pushing him in. I jumped in after him laughing. He came up and pushed his hair out of his face pouting.

"You're an ass."

I smiled and moved up close to him, "And you have an nice ass."

He blushed and shook his head. I put my finger under his chin and lifted his face up. He looked at me and put his hand behind my neck, pulling me closer. I closed my eyes and-

"Fucking hell guys?!?!" I jumped back.
Mikey was standing at the corner with his arm covering his eyes. He had taken his jacket off I noticed. He hesitantly removed his arm to look at us again.

"What's up Mikey?" Gerard asked him moving away from me. I frowned slightly.

"Probably your dicks. You guys have rooms and doors for a reason." Mikey replied crossing his arms. Gerard opened and closed his mouth, his face turning bright red with embarrassment. "Anyway. Hurry up, we're deciding on dinner."

Pete came out then and saw the pool, his eyes lit up, "Can I get in?"

Mikey rolled his eyes and went to reply but I stopped him, "If you get Mikey in too." Mikey whipped around to glare at me.

Pete started to strip down as Mikey looked between us his face flushed. "Pete. No." Pete finished and looked at Mikey and smirked. Mikey put his hands out and started to back up. Pete dove forwards quickly and picked Mikey up. Mikey protested as Pete walked towards the pool with him slug over his shoulder. He eventually gave up as Pete tugged his shoes off and tossed him in. Mikey sprang back up quickly and wiped his face. Pete jumped in and dunked Mikey. I was surprised Mikey was even in this situation. If he wanted, he could have killed Pete in over twenty different ways by now just in the past five minutes. Mikey came up and tackled Pete back into the water.

I looked over to Gerard to see his reaction. He looked just as confused as I was. He looked at me and I shrugged. Ray come out then.

"Guys? What the hell?" He asked us coming over.

"Pool." I told him shrugging.

He laughed, "I can see."

Mikey was holding Pete's head underwater and actually laughing. My mouth dropped open. What the hell? Pete pushed him back and swam up, grabbed Mikey's waist and tackled him back. Ray looked at us confused. I looked back at him just as confused.

"Well, um, we decided on dinner. Come in soon so it doesn't get cold." Ray told us.

"Okay." Mikey said brightly, holding Pete's head underwater again.

I sighed and got out of the pool, Gerard followed me. God he looked so hot right now. The water glistened on his skin and his hair was stuck to his forehead in places. He always seemed to have a thoughtful look, it was really hot. I walked over to him, slipped my hand behind his neck and kissed him quickly.

When I pulled back he smiled at me and blushed. His smile was the brightest I've seen it for awhile. I grabbed his hand as we walked inside to get towels. Mikey and Pete were still in the pool being idiots. It really fucking confused me. Mikey doesn't let anyone get close to him, he doesn't even open up to us that often, and here's this stranger who he's acting like he's known forever.

I dried off and went back outside to give Pete and Mikey towels. They were out of the pool and were walking back towards the door when I saw them. I gave them their towels and went back around to get all of our clothes.

I heard a snap followed by Mikey yelping, "Pete!"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I grabbed Gerard's jacket and a picture fell out of the pocket. I picked it up carefully.

It was old, faded, and torn. It was a picture of us when we were all younger. Me, Show Pony, Cherry Cola, Gerard, Mikey, Ray, Dr. D, and- Ryan? Ryan was there. Oh my gosh. I haven't seen Ryan ever since.......

I shook my head. I didn't want to think about it. I tucked the paper back into Gees jacket pocket and started walking back with all our stuff.

We ate dinner quickly and went to our rooms. Mikey let Pete into his room and they stayed in there, doing who knows what.

Ray, Gerard, and I sat in my room.

"What do you think about Pete?" Ray asked us.

"Mikey trusts him. Like, trusts trusts him." Gerard's face was screwed up in confusion. He looked adorable.

"I guess that means we can. Mikey doesn't trust many people. Not after what happened with......" I trailed off.

Gerard and Ray nodded grimly.

There was a knock at the door.

"Yeah?" Gerard called.

Mikey opened the door and stuck his head in, his hair was a mess, "We still going along with our plan for tomorrow?"

We all looked at each other and nodded, "It's best if we do it now." Gerard told him.

"Can Pete come?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah....." Gerard trailed off.

Mikey smiled quickly, "Thank you." He ducked his head out of the door and went to close it.

"One more thing Mikey." Gerard called out.

"Hm?" He stuck his head back in the door.

"Be careful." Gerard told him. Mikey nodded once and left.
