New Perspective Part 8

Frank's P.O.V.

Gerard is probably the weirdest guy that I've met. Still, I have to stay on his good side if I want to stay in a good relationship with Mikey. I can't believe that I thought that he was cheating on me. I've never been so jealous before, that's never happened to me. And I got that way just because of a phone call, I don't even want to imagine what I would do if I saw Mikey with another guy. But he said that he could never cheat on me. And I trust him.

On Monday, I woke up and the first thing that I did was get my cell phone and text Mikey.
"Good morning gorgeous!"
A few seconds later he texted back.
"Morning babe." A smile came to my face a second later.
"How did you sleep?"
"Great. I had a dream about you."
"Oh yeah, what did you dreamed?"
About a minute passed and he hadn't replied. I was about to put my phone down but it started vibrating. I looked at it and saw that there was a text from Mikey, immediately I pressed the read button.
"...that you made love to me..." My face turned red and my heart started beating faster. I tried to act cool and not ask too many questions.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah." I bit my lip and smiled before replying.
"...How was it?" A few seconds later Mikey replied quickly.
"Amazing." My face started to burn. I could feel it turning even more red than before. I gave a small laugh and texted him back.
"Awesome. I have to start getting ready for work, but I'll call you later all right. See if it's true that I was that amazing." Mikey replied right away.
*blushes* Okay babe. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Bye."
I put my phone back on the nightstand and sighed. Then a smile appeared on my face just by thinking about Mikey's dream.



The day at work was exhausting. I work at a music/video game store and today was the day where we got the new arrivals. We had to restock and prepare everything for Tuesday which was the day where we put the new releases on stock. It was beryl 12:30a.m. and I was exhausted.
When my break arrived I went into the side of the store, where a coffee shop connected with the store that I worked at with a glass wall and slide doors. When the doors opened the smell of coffee made me take in a deep breath and relax from all the work that I had.
I got in line to order my coffee when I heard the front door open. I didn't pay much attention since I thought it was just another random person coming in for coffee, that was until a few seconds later someone called my name.
"Frank?" I turned around to look behind me, and I saw Mikey's older brother standing before me with a huge smile on his face.
"Gerard? Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I came to get a cup of coffee before leaving." I nodded. "And you?"
"Oh, some here. I'm on my break so." He nodded.
"Where do you work?" I pointed at the side doors that connected the coffee shop with the store. Gerard nodded and made eye contact with me afterwards, then he smiled. It wasn't his normal friendly smile, it was more like if he knew something embarrassing about me.
"Gerard, why are you smiling and looking at me like that?" Then he started giggling. "Why are you laughing?"
"Next in line please!" It was my turn in line so I gave Gerard a suspicious look and turned around stepping up to the counter to order my coffee.
When I got my coffee I went to get a table for Gerard and I.

A few minutes later Gerard sat across from me, his smile wider than before. Before I could say anything, he spoke.
"Mikey had a dream about you." My face turned red and I almost spilled my coffee on the table. I looked at Gerard nervously and nodded.
"Yeah, he told me." Gerard gave another giggle.
"He told me about it." His smile widened. "I mean, everything." My face started to burn.
"What do you mean everything?"
"He told me about everything that you did to him on his dream." My face was burning so much at this point, it was starting to hurt. "You're a kinky man Frankie."
"Um... Did he really tell you everything?"
"No." Then he burst into laughter. I sat in silence confused watching Gerard laugh so hard that everyone at the shop was looking at him. "Oh Frank, you should of seen your face! It was priceless." I sighed in relive but at the same time I found myself blushing once again. "Oh man, I got you." He gave another laugh and took a sip from his cup. Then he looked at me and smiled. "But I do know about the dream. Mikey didn't tell me everything like I made you think, but he did told me."
"Oh." Gerard nodded.
"So you guys haven't done it yet?" I looked down and shook my head slowly. "Come on Frank, you don't have to be embarrassed. We're practically family now." I nodded.
"That's why I'm embarrassed." He giggle and moved his chair closer to the table then leaned across the table closer to me.
"So you really like my brother?" I looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah, I do."
"Good." He gave a nod and moved back on his seat. "Because he really likes you too." I smiled once again and took a sip from my cup of coffee. "You know Frank, I really love Mikey. He's my brother and my best friend." I put my cup down on the table and nodded. "...And I don't want him to get hurt." I nodded once again knowing that Gerard was giving me the protective brother speech.
"Don't worry Gerard, I could never do anything to hurt Mikey. I care about him too much to even think on hurting him." Gerard smiled.
"Good answer." I smiled back. "Because if you ever do something that can hurt Mikey on any way, I will come after you." I started laughing. "I'm not kidding." I stopped laughing and took a big drink.


We talked about Mikey, but mostly about me. Gerard wanted to know what my intentions were with his brother, if I wanted to be in a 'serious relationship', what were my plans for the future and if Mikey was on them. Most of his questions made me sweat. When I thought that I was giving a good answer he would look at me in the eyes with a serious expression and come up with a harder, more difficult question to answer.
At the end of our talk, which felt more like an interrogation, he want back to his playful and happy persona, like he had been earlier that day. It almost made it feel conforming to have all of the serious talk with Gerard out of the way knowing that I wouldn't have to go through that again. And he did say that he approved of me and Mikey dating so I was happy to hear that.
"I should get going. My break's almost over."
"Yeah, I should get going as well." We stood up and stood in front of each other.
"Well, I'll guess I'll see you around." Gerard smiled and gave me a quick hug that took me by surprise. He pulled away and with his index and middle finger pointed at his eyes, then pointed at me. I gave him a nervous smile and nodded. "See you Gerard."
"Bye Frank." I nodded once again and tuned around to leave the shop and go back to the store.

When I got off work, the first thing that I did was call Mikey.
"Hello?" A smile came to my face as soon as he answered the phone.
"Hey Mikey."
"Hey babe, how are you?"
"I'm good and you?"
"Pretty good. What are you doing?"
"I just got off work and was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight."
"Yeah, of course."
"All right. I'm a drop by my place to shower and then I'll head off to your apartment."
"Can't wait."
"I'll see ya."
"See ya." I hanged up and headed home.
I showered and got dressed. I put on black skinny jeans, a gray shirt, a navy blue sweater and black and white high top converse. I fixed my hair and went over to Mikey's.

I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later the door opened and Mikey received me with a wide smile.
"Hey babe, come in." He stepped aside and opened the door wider. I walked in and stood in front of him in my tip toes. He leaned down and pressed him lips on mine.
After a moment I pulled back and smiled.
"So how was your day?" Mikey closed the door and nodded.
"It was okay, and yours?" I gave him a small giggle and a small smile.
"Interesting." He gave me a confused look.
"Interesting?" I nodded and walked over to the couch then sat down in the middle. Mikey followed after me and sat by my right side facing me. "What happened?"
"Well..." I gave another small laugh and took his hand. "Today, when I was on my break, I went to go get a cup of coffee," Mikey nodded and looked at me interested. "and I saw Gerard." His eyes widened in surprise making me start giggling.
"Gerard was there?" I nodded still laughing.
"What's wrong Mikey? You seem surprise." He nodded.
"I am! But what did he say, did you talk to him?"
"Of course I talked to him."
"Well, what about?" My smile widened.
"You."
"Oh God." He let go of my hand and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I'm gonna kill Gerard."
"Why?"
"Because! He probably said something embarrassing about me." I didn't stop smiling. "He said something about me didn't he." I nodded and his cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "What did he say?" I started laughing once again. "Come on Frank what did he say?"
"He... He said you told him about the dream that you had about us... And that you told him about everything that I did to you in the dream." Mikey's face turned red, he looked down and shook his head.
"I'm going to kill Gerard... When he least expects it." I laughed once again and leaned against him putting my feet up on the couch and resting my head on his shoulder.
"You shouldn't do that. Then who's going to protect you from guys like me?" He looked down at me confused.
"What do you mean?"
"He as practically interrogating me this morning. He wanted to know what my intentions were with you and how serious we were getting. And if we had any plans for the future." I looked up at Mikey, he was biting his bottom lip and smiling.
"He asked you that?" I nodded. "And what did you-" He swallowed. "what did you say?" I smiled and grabbed the collar of his shirt.
"That's for him to know and you to find out." I pulled him down and pressed my lips on his.
When I pulled away he smiled.
"Come on Frank, what did you say to him?"
"I'm not going to tell you."
"Why not?
"Because, then what I am going to do with all of the romantic things that I have plan for you? They wouldn't be so much of a surprise any more." He blushed and gave me a small smile.
"Tell me, please."
"No. But I have good news." He looked at me interested. "He likes me being your boyfriend." Mikey smiled widely.
"Really?" I nodded.
"Yup. So you're not gonna be able to get rid of me for a long time Mikey boy." He giggle.as I put my arm aroud his shoulder.
"Who said that I wanted to get rid of you?" He leaned down and our lips met once again.
When we pulled away we both smiled.
"Hey, you know what I noticed today?" Mikey shrugged.
"What?"
"I don't have a picture of you." I dug into my pocket and took out my phone.
"Oh no Frank, no." I unlocked it by touching the screen, I set up the camera on the phone and looked up at him.
"Why not?"
"Because, I suck at taking pictured. I always hate the way I look."
"Oh I'm sure you look fine. Just look at you." He blushed once again. I sat up and turned towards Mikey then raised my hand and pointed the phone at him. Right away he put his hand in front of the phone and pushed my hand down.
"No Frankie."
"Oh come on! This is just for me, no one else is going to see it." He shook his head. "Please! For me?" He hesitated for a few seconds then exhaled loudly.
"Okay, fine." I smiled and raised my hand once again.
"All right babe, smile." Mikey forced a small smile and I took the picture. I immediately saved it on my phone and got ready to take another one. "Okay, let's take one together." I leaned towards Mikey once again and rested my head against his collar bone. As I raised my hand once again and turned around the phone so that the lens was pointed at us, he rested his head on top of mine. "Ready?" He nodded. "Smile." I smiled and took the picture.
I lowered my hand and tunred around the phone to look at the photo. It was so perfect, Mikey and I were both smiling and you were able to see our faces clearly. Mikey's cheeks were a light shade of red and you were able to see his jawline and neck perfectly, which were some of the most attractive things about him.
"Aw, you look so cute Mikey. I love that you can see the side of your neck. Such a turn on." He gave a small laugh and kissed the top of my head as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked up at him and smiled. "Would you let me take another one?"
"Um... Maybe." He leaned down and caught my upper lip between his. I closed my eyes and returned the kiss. Then I raised my phone once again and took a picture of us as we were kissing.
