MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ONE SHOTS

Fucking With The Way Brothers (Frikey + Frerard)

Frank's POV

To say I've majorly fucked up in life would honestly be an understatement. Sure I've got a successful career as a guitarist for a successful band, but other than that, I'm kind of a fuck up. Sometimes I feel as though I exist only to fuck things up. This whole notion of me being a fuck up began when I was young. When I was ten years old, my catholic mother caught me kissing a boy and just about beat the shit out of me. Then when I was fifteen, she caught me smoking a cigarette and threatened to beat the shit out of me. I kept smoking because my teenage self didn't give a fuck what happened to me. And my mom finally gave up on making me into the perfect little boy. It was also around that time that I quit my job at the family business to pursue a career in music.

Flash to 2004, I'm playing guitar for the successful rock band My Chemical Romance. I never expected my music career to go anywhere, but here I am, on a tour with four other guys in a band that skyrocketed to fame. And yet my mother still isn't proud.

"Frank," Gerard called to me and I glanced at him. Gerard was my best friend in the band, and I was kind of in love with him.

"Yes?" He didn't say anything for a moment as he put his makeup on.

"I need help with my tie."

"You don't need a tie," I told him. We were going out on our break from shows. Mikey and Ray were coming along too. This was normal for us, seeing as we were all alcoholics at the time. Except for Ray. He knew how to drink in moderation. I did not. I would drink until I ended up unconscious on the curb. Mikey saved my ass several times. Once I had shoved on my shoes, I walked over to Gerard. He smiled at me like he would, and then grabbed me by my wrist, dragged me away from the tour bus. I could tell he'd already started drinking, but I didn't question it as I let him drag me away.

"Frankie? Are we gonna have fun tonight?"

"Gerard, slow down. Mikey and Ray are coming too," I reminded him and he glanced at the bus. He sighed and leaned into me and I had to adjust myself for balance. Now, this was a normal occurrence, for him to already be tipsy. It was sad because he really believed he had to be drunk for people to like him. Anyone would have told you, they loved Gerard no matter what. And anyone who knows Gerard will still tell you that.

"Frankieee," he slurred.

"Fuck, Gerard. How much have you had to drink?"

"Uhmmmm? I don't know." I sighed and removed my arm from around his shoulders.

"I'm going to go get you a water bottle off the bus. Don't do anything stupid." I wasn't the most responsible member of My Chem, that's for sure. But I did, I still do, care a great deal about the guys. Ask any one of them, I was always the first one there when something concerning happened. I walked back to the bus to grab water and I also asked Mikey and Ray if they were ready yet, which to my surprise, they were. Despite what you probably thought, on nights out, Mikey took the longest to get ready. Gerard was usually too drunk to care. I left the bus with the water, Mikey and Ray following suit. Mikey noticed Gerard and went to shoot me a glare. "Don't glare at me! I'm not Gerard's babysitter!," I shouted, bringing the water to Gerard. He smacked it out of my hand, so I shot him a glare and picked it up and shoved it in his face. "Drink it," I stated firmly, and he gave in. Sometimes Gerard got really childish and annoying when he was drunk. This was one of those nights. Mikey kept glaring at me so I decided to ask him what's up. "What the fuck is your problem, Mikey?"

"Nothing."

"Come on. You keep glaring at me. Tell me why."

"Be careful with my brother," he growled before walking away from me and putting an arm around Ray. Now that action sparked a jealousy in me and I wasn't sure why. I knew I had feelings for Gerard. But it was in that moment that I realized part of my might have had feelings for Mikey as well. I shot Mikey a glare before wrapping my arms around Gerard as we walked. Gerard kissed my cheek which caused me to giggle. Gerard and I always did cute things like that, drunk or not. Mikey and I, not so much. At the time, I had no idea how Mikey felt about me. It wasn't until later that night that I found out.
