Lost In You

"Bravo." I turned around to see a boy standing there clapping slowly. His eyes were a pale blue and his hair jet black with long side bangs. He smiled and showed his teeth which his canines were vampiric.

"Hayden!" I step towards him but I stopped. He wasn't the same. Instead of his white shirt it was a crimson red. His face wasn't mysterious like it once was either, instead he looked... evil.

"Good job Frankie, you found me." he shrugged lightly. "Now what?"

"I um..." I trailed off helplessly.

"I see you took my place." he eyed me up and down scanning my leather jacket.

"Someone had to." I responded defensively. In a moment Hayden was laughing and I just watched him in confusion. At that moment Ray came up and stood beside Bob in surprise.

"Oh sugar, it seems as though I have taught you well. I heard all about your little laxatives trick." I said nothing as he beamed down at me.

"Yeah? What did I learn?" I growled.

"Shh Frankie, you learned you don't have to be in the shadows like Gee there." he motioned towards Gerard who glared at him from under his hood. "You found yourself a group of friends and looked past their covers to see that instead of being scary guys, they are gentle and great guys." this time he motioned towards Bob and Ray. "You learned there is more to love then watching from afar..." he smiled at me sweetly. "So tell me my dear Frankie, is this all true?" I stood there speechless. All this time he forced me to hang out with him and the Crew, he was teaching me life lessons I had never learned before like sticking up for myself and not being afraid to speak my mind. I once considered Bob and Ray scary werewolves when simply they were just large puppies and Hayden... he was still a mystery to me.

"Its true." I looked at the ground but Hayden came in front of me and lifted my chin.

"Don't be afraid my dear, speak your mind."

"Are you a vampire?" I asked lamely. He snorted and grinned.

"Silly boy Santa doesn't exist." I understood this riddle and I smiled a bit.

"It seems the reindeer do though." I replied causing him to grim even more and wrap his skinny arm around my shoulders.

"I've taught you well Frankie. I've missed you." I pulled him into a hug. He hesitated for a moment but then returned the embrace. When we pulled apart Gerard stood there looking hurt. I could read his face like a book. "Come here Gee Gee." Hayden cooed. Gerard stumbled forward grudgingly. He stopped about a meter away. In one swift motion Hayden pulled him in front of me. Hayden manually tilted my head up and pushed me slightly forward to me inches from Gerard Way. He squeezed my cheeks causing me pucker up and he did the same with Gerard. Then he slowly pushed us closer together all the while I'm watching him. Without me realizing how close we were, Gerard and I kissed. Hayden took a few steps back and smiled sadly.

"Umm..." Ray watched us baffled.

"That's how it should be." Hayden kept smiling. I felt Gerard wrap his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and we deepened the kiss. I slipped my eyes closed and could only hear Bob and Ray shuffling around awkwardly since they didn't really want to see two dudes making out in front of them. I smiled into the kiss and I felt Gee do the same. Everything was perfect and how it should be.
