Gerard groans tiredly as he wakes hearing noises coming from the living room, knowing exactly what it is. Today's Mikey's 16th birthday and he couldn't be more excited. He's inviting his friends over for the night, requested pizza, icecream and a scary movie for them tonight.
"Mm, what time is it Gee?" Gerard hears Bert's sleepy voice mumble, waking after feeling Gerard's head lift off his chest. His raspy morning voice sends chills down Gerard's spine. Gerard just rests back into the warm body beside him, tired and wanting to keep sleeping.
"4:30." Gerard groans after glancing over at the glowing red numbers on the alarm clock before resting his face in Bert's neck. Bert runs his hand along Gerard's bare back, trying to keep his eyes from closing back again. Tired and warm, just wanting to go back to sleep with Gerard.
"Can't we just go back to sleep? It's too early and way too cold. We should not be up before the sun." Bert complains as he just wants to sleep. Gerard places a soft kiss in Bert's neck, chuckling softly at his exhausted lover.
"You go back to sleep. Mikey's awake and probably bouncing in his seat with excitement. Get some rest and I'll wake you before breakfast." Gerard says sitting up and out of his embrace. Shiving as he gets out of bed and from under the blanket that had their body heat trapped in and into the cold room.
He finds his pants and Bert's hoodie on the ground since it's cold. Leaving the dark room and closing the door behind him so Bert can sleep. Going down the hall, he chuckles when he sees Mikey on the couch. Under a blanket as he watches t.v while eating chips. Wide awake and waiting impatiently.
"Morning baby, happy birthday." Gerard smiles tiredly. His hands gripped on the end of his sleeves, arms wrapped around himself as he walks over and sits with him. Sitting under the blanket with him, wrapping an arm around his baby brother. Loving to see him so happy and excited for today.
The three of them around going to go out for a birthday breakfast in a few hours. Then Mikey's friends will come over, for dinner they're ordering pizza for them. Gerard hopes Mikey will like the bass he got him. Jeph helped him pick it out and is going to give Mikey some lessons if he's up for it.
"Thank you. Sor- Sorry if I woke you up Gee, I'm just too excited to sleep." Mikey smiles excitedly. Leaning into his brothers side as he thinks about today, impatient for the day to begin. A day of his brother, Bert, and his friends from school. And a lot of sweets.
"It's okay, I'd rather be up with you. I hope today is everything you hope for it to be." Gerard says placing a kiss on Mikey's head. Praying today will be perfect for his baby brother.

Gerard chuckles as excitedly Mikey waits on the couch for his present. They just got back from breakfast and his friends are going to be here soon. So he's giving him his birthday present before they arrive. "Okay I know nothing about these things, but I have a friend who does so I hope you like it."
Bert has his hands cupped over Mikey's eyes as Gerard beings it out. Removing his eyes, it takes less than a second before the teen shreiks while hurrying over to the beautiful and expensive bass. "This- This is mine!? For real!?"
"Yep, all yours. Do you like it? Is this the kind you wanted?" Gerard asks. Though he's only met with the embrace of his brothers arms instead of a response. Mikey hugs him tightly, making Gerard smile and kiss the top of his head. Glad that he seems to like the choice.
"It's absolutely perfect. Thank so- Thank you so much! But- But how did you afford this Gee?" Mikey whispers before pulling away and looking back at the pretty bass. So happy, but also confused since he knows they don't have a lot of extra money. Not enough to afford this anyway.
"Don't worry about that baby." Gerard says. Mikey excited tries out his new bass, adjusting the strap to fit him. Doing so with the biggest smile on his face. Gerard looks to Bert who watches the teen excitedly try it out.
"My best friend who's also the bassist in our band would love to practice with you, if you're interested. You can even come to the studio and try some others out" Bert says. Jeph offered to give Mikey some lessons and someone to practice with. Being good friends with Gerard and all.
"Yes! Th- Thank you, both of you! Th- This is the best birthday ever." Mikey smiles. Though they're interrupted by a knock on the front door. Mikey quickly sets his bass down, hurrying to the door. Opening it to see his friends. "Hey guys, come i-in!"
They all greet and wish him a happy birthday. Mikey looks at the black haired boy who hugs him when they enter the apartment. Making Mikey blush with the sweetest smile. "I'm glad th- that you could make it Pete."
Gerard and Bert look at each other, picking up on their body language towards each other. "Alright well pizza is on it's way here. I got your horror movies and popcorn. Help yourselves to whatever you'd like. We're in the room down the hall if you need anything."
"Why don't you watch the horror movies with us? Don't be scared, I'll keep you safe." One of Mikey's friends grins while examining Gerard. Only making Bert laugh as the young teen hits on Gerard.
"Watch yourself, that's my brother. T-Thank you guys, we'll be okay." Mikey says hitting his friends arm. The two of them wish him a happy birthday before walk down the hall and to the bedroom where Bert can no longer contain his laughter. Finding that teens attempt to charm Gerard hilarious.
"Don't be scared Gee, I'll keep you safe." Bert mimics that teen as he rests his hands on Gerard's hips. Earning a laugh from Gerard, shaking his head. "See, even teenage boys want a piece of you. Can't say I blame him."
"Mm too bad I'm only interested in one person, and one person only." Gerard says, playing with Bert's long unwashed hair. Fighting the urge to kiss him since technically they're not together. He's really enjoyed having Bert here the past two weeks, so has Mikey.
"I truly am the luckiest man alive. I know it's hard not being together right now, but please remember just how much I love you Gerard. Because fuck I love you." Bert says, softly gripping the red heads hips. Earning that pretty smile of his.
"No matter how many times you tell me you love me, it still gets me everytime." Gerard smiles, placing a light kiss on his cheek before pulling away. Sliding off his shirt and taking off his jeans. Getting into bed. "C'mon, lets watch a movie. Your pick."
"Okay. Just remember that if you get scared, I'll keep you safe." Bert teases as he unbuckles his belt and takes his pants off, laughing at it again. Still not over it. Joining the pretty red head in bed.
Gerard laughs and hits his arm. "Shut up, smartass."
