Gerard looked back at himself in the mirror.

He had to admit, he looked good.

He just couldn't stop smiling no matter how hard he tried.

This was a big day.

A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts.

Mikey popped his head round the door.

"Hey, Gee, you ready?"

Gerard looked at him.

Mikey smiled and came into the room properly.

"Wow," He grinned, "You look great!"

Gerard beamed back at his little brother, "Hey, so do you."

"I should hope so," Mikey smirked, "This tux cost a fortune."

Gerard nodded, remembering the day they had brought the tuxes.

Mikey shut the door and sat down on the sofa that was in the room.

"You nervous?" He asked.

Gerard bit his lip.

"Uh... On the verge of terrified."

Mikey laughed a little.

"Sounds about right. I'd be worried if you weren't."

"How long now?" Gerard looked back at his reflection.

Mikey checked his watch.

"About ten minutes."

Gerard nodded, his gaze not leaving the mirror.

He started fiddling with his hair until it looked right.

"Gee," Mikey called over.

Gerard looked away from his worried expression to his brother's calm one.

"You look fine."

Gerard didn't answer.

He sat down on the sofa next to Mikey.

"I just... I'm scared, Mikes."

Mikey patted him on the back, "I get you. It's a big thing. Hell, I'm a little scared and I just stand there."

Gerard rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"I've heard," Mikey said, "That when you're there and you see him, all the worry just goes. And that time's approaching fast, Gee."

Gerard took a few deep breaths before standing up again and walking around the room, trying to calm his nerves.

Mikey watched him and was about to speak again when there was a knock on the door.

Gerard stopped pacing and faced the door.

"Come in," Mikey called when Gerard hadn't spoken.

Ray's smile was as wide as his face.

"It's time, guys."

Mikey looked over at Gerard.

He was biting his lip again.

Mikey stood up and went to the door, next to Ray.

"Come on, Gee," He called.

Gerard slowly followed them out of the room, into the hallway.

Ray was talking to Mikey.

"So um hey... I've only just realised," Ray was saying, "Me and you have to walk together. Does that mean we had to hold hands or some shit?"
