I Love You, Is That So Wrong? Unfortunately, Yes

“Hey Frankie, I’m glad you could play tonight and all but shouldn’t you talk to Mikee about this issue?” Ray said.

“Wait, they know?” I said.

“Frankie told us just now.” Bob said.

“Ray’s right you know, you two usually get along well.” Gerard said.

“It’s none of your business guys, just leave it.” Frankie said.

“Hey! You guys coming or what?” Anna said, we all turn to see that everyone was starting to leave already. We all sigh a bit at Frankie’s stubbornness as we head off to eat breakfast at some restaurant.

The day just went so and so, we had breakfast, had lunch, dinner and then the performance with all out Spanish fans out there. Ray provided translation for all the shout outs Gerard said so they could understand.

“I told you Puerto Rican was similar to Spanish.” Gerard told me when we were all going back to the hotel after another performance.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” I said.

“If Ray could speak Puerto Rican how come Mimi can’t?” Nadine asked.

“Cause I wasn’t born in a Puerto Rican Portuguese household, I was born in the Philippines.” Mikee said smiling.

“Hey Gee, Mikey, after we’re done packing you guys want to watch a movie in our room?” Frankie asked.

“Nah, I’ll pass, I want to sleep.” I said.

“It’s not Spanish is it?” Gerard asked.

“No, I brought some of my own DVDs along, just in case.” Frankie said.

“All right! What about Ray and Bob?” Gerard asked.

“They’ve already packed when I opened up the room, they’re going some place with Nadine.” Frankie said.

“Ooh, a threesome?” Gerard said, smirking. Nadine heard what he said and hit him on the head.

“Idiot, we’re going to another souvenir shop, Ray’s our translator.” she said.

“Ouch! You didn’t have to hit me that hard!” Gerard said.

“Now you know how I feel.” Frankie said.

Gerard’s POV:

When we got back to the hotel everyone went in their rooms to pack, except for some who had already packed, namely Bob, Ray and Nadine, who were dropped off somewhere on the way here. After packing up my things and saying goodbye to Mikey who had fallen asleep as soon as he finished packing, no I don’t mean he fell asleep on his bag. As what Frankie said I went over to his room to watch a movie with him.

“Hey Gerard, so Mikey didn’t come after all.” Frankie said, preparing the CD and DVD player. I sit on one of the beds as Frankie places the CD in the player.

“What’re we watching anyway?” I ask.

“Wild Hogs.” Frankie said with a smile on his face, I couldn’t help but smile myself. They say Wild Hogs was hilarious, so this was going to be a fun movie marathon. Frankie picks up the remote and sits next to me on the same bed since it was the one with the best view of the TV, the door was left open so we could draw in anyone who would want to watch.

“Hey Frankie, is it okay if we invite any random person who passes by in?” I ask.

“Just as long as we know him or her.” he said, pressing the play button. Hopefully someone would pass by and settle things with the dude sitting next to me, yes I am talking about that really short girl who is related to the dude who plays lead guitarist in our band.

“This sucks… it’s so damn boring in here when Anna and Abi are already asleep and Nadine’s somewhere else…” we hear someone mutter, turning my head I see Mikee just passing by.

“HEY MIKEE!” I shout suddenly, almost causing Frankie to jump and fall off the bed, it did make Mikee jump though.

“Crap Gerard! What?!” she snapped.

“Want to watch Wild Hogs with us?” I asked.

“What?” both Frankie and Mikee said at the same time, after glancing at each other a bit they looked away. I sigh at how they were acting.

“Look, there’s been this tension growing in you two and you two used to get along really good, I want you two to enjoy this movie with me and become friends again.” I said.

“I thought I told you this was none of your business Gee.” Frankie said.

“Besides Gerard, I have better things to do.” Mikee said, she was about to go and leave. I got up and went out of the room for a moment and managed to stop her by grabbing her arm.

“Listen Mikee, you need to settle things with Frankie, a good movie will do just the thing, you need to talk to him and I want you guys to do it now.” I said.

“Ah, a lover’s quarrel, how romantic.” a random old Spanish lady said as she passed by us.

“No ma’am, he’s not my boyfriend.” Mikee said.

“Never will be.” I said. The old lady just smiled and walked away, okay… freaky…

“All right I’ll watch the movie with you and Frankie, I haven’t watched Wild Hogs yet anyway, but if Frankie gives me the silent treatment again then I’m out.” Mikee said.

“I’m glad you see things my way.” I said. The two of us go back to the room where Frankie had paused the tape for us, I told Mikee to sit next to Frankie as I closed the door.

“Why are you closing the door? Are we going to rape her or something?” Frankie joked, the three of us laughed a bit as Mikee hit Frankie on the arm like what she usually does.

“Shut up Frankie, I could sue you for sexual harassment.” she said.

“Oh no, Gerard she’s going to call the sexual harassment hotline, disconnect the phone.” Frankie said.

“Hey!”

“He’s only kidding Mikee.” I say as Frankie and I laughed, I sit back on the bed beside Frankie and he starts the movie. It really was hilarious, there was a good atmosphere around, everyone was laughing as loud as we could that we even woke up a few neighbors. They were shouting angrily in Spanish so we couldn’t understand.

“Guys, guys, I think we should tone down a bit.” Mikee said.

“Ah come on Mikee, we’re just laughing our asses off having fun, is there something wrong with that?” Frankie said.

“We’re waking up several people, I couldn’t understand what they were saying but I know they’re angry.”

“Quit being such a good girl Mikee, live a little.” I said.

“Gerard’s right, for someone who just couldn’t get enough of yaoi I’m surprised you’re being such a goody-goody.” Frankie said.

“Ah shut up, I just don’t want to get into trouble.” Mikee said.

“All right, all right, Frankie stop teasing her, I’ll be back guys, just need to get something for us to snack on.” I said, thinking that the time they should spend alone should be now.

“We’ll pause the movie for you.” Frankie said.

“No need, just go ahead and watch.” I said as I get up from the bed we were all sitting on and exit the room, but, like what I did to Brendon and Abi, I was just watching by a small opening on the door. The two continue watching the movie, the two being really into it that they might not be talking to each other anytime soon.

“Hey… Mikee?” Frankie says finally, but it seemed Mikee was still so concentrated into the movie she didn’t hear him. I see him inch a little closer as he motions to hold her hand but only manages to brush his hand against hers. This manages to get her attention though as she turns to Frankie, shocked to see how close the two’s faces were, making her a little flustered. “What’s wrong?” he asked suddenly.

“You have the problem, not me.” Mikee answered. Frankie laughs at this and grasps her hand.

“I like you.” he says from out of the blue, Mikee just stares at him in shock.

“Uh… what did you say?” she asks.

“You know what I just said.”

“What did you say?”

“Okay, I like you, Mikee-Toro-and-not-Way.”

“Coz he’s mine…” I mutter.

“But then… what I saw…” before Mikee could finish, Frankie laughs.

“We were joking around, you didn’t believe Gerard when he told you.” he said.

“Yeah… well… I like you too…” Mikee said, smiling sheepishly and trying to change the subject to hide the fact that she was embarrassed by her misunderstanding. Frankie chuckles a little more as he slips his arm around her waist.

“Hey, is it okay if I kiss you right now?” he asks, Mikee blinks but smiles.

“I always thought of what it’d be like to kiss someone with a lip ring.” she said, wrapping her arms around Frankie’s neck.

“You’ll know now.” he said. The movie was now completely neglected as the two start kissing, I try to conceal by happy exclamations of joy for now. Abi kept on hitting us with the bolo back when she caught us and my arm actually hurts, Mikee’s not really the type to go all violent, but Frankie? I’d be signing my own will.

“Hey Gerard, what’re you looking at in our room?” I hear Ray say, turning around it wasn’t only Ray who was there but Nadine was with him.

“Hurry up Ray-ray; I really want to get some sleep now.” Nadine said.

“All right, all right just wait; I’ll return your book right now.” Ray said as the two were about to go in the room, just then I remembered about Frankie and Mikee.

“Ray! Nadine! Wait!” I said but it was too late, the two cousins had entered the room only to find their own cousin kissing each other. The two pull away at hearing someone enter the room, they both mutter their own curses when they see that it was Nadine and Ray who had entered. They start blushing like mad.

“What is going on?” Ray asked, looking all freaked out.

“R-Ray-ray! W-we could explain…” Mikee stuttered.

“You two were kissing… on a bed…” Ray said.

“We weren’t going to go any further than just kissing! I swear!” Frankie said.

“When were you two… um… an item?” Ray asked, still looking pretty freaked. At this Frankie smiles and entwines his fingers with Mikee’s, making her blush a little more.

“Just now.” he said. I couldn’t hold any longer and I just enter the room laughing, sorry but seeing Ray’s face all freaked out was really funny.

“Congratulations Ray! Frankie’s now your cousin-in-law!” I said.

“And Mimi’s mine! Yay! I can squeeze the hell out of her cheeks now!” Nadine said, looking happy and excited at this.

“Oh God no…” Mikee said.

“Wait ‘til I tell everyone tomorrow!” Nadine said.

“Hey, where’s Bob by the way?” I ask.

“He’s with Brendon in the bar, you know, a little uncle meets boyfriend thing? Ooh! Frankie when am I going to have a niece?” Nadine asks, Ray twitches at this.

“How much do you want?” Mikee asks.

“Mikee!” Ray said, surprised. Frankie looks at his cousin a little uneasily.

“Ten? Will that do?” Nadine said.

“Can we add an eleventh?” Frankie said.

“Ugh, what the hell?! Shut up!” Ray said, now getting really freaked out. Everyone just laughs, I take a look at the clock to see that it was getting kinda late.

“Hey guys, we have to go to bed now.” I said.

“Oh all right, come on Mimi, I’ll accompany you to your room, you have to tell me all the details!” Nadine said.

Mikey’s POV:

I had already packed last night so the same thing that happened to me in England wouldn’t happen again, as I pick up my things and go down with Gerard to the lobby he informs me on what happened last night.

“So Frankie and Mikee are together now? Whoa, first Brendon and Abi and now Frankie and Mikee.” I said.

“I’m telling you, everyone’s getting hooked up nowadays, who’s left is just Nadine and Bob and Anna and Ryan, then everyone’s got a girlfriend and boyfriend.” Gerard said.

“Well, maybe except for Ray, Jon and Spencer.” I said.

“I thought those three already have their own girlfriends?”

“Yeah, but they’re not here on tour with us, are they?”

“Hmm… you’re kinda right there…” as my brother and I walk around the hallways to take the stairs we see Brendon, Abi, Frankie and Mikee walking together, holding hands with their respective pairs. “Hey look Mikey! It’s a double date!” Gerard says loud enough for the four of them to hear, the girls blush as the guys just smile confidently and they go ahead on where they were going, this made me and Gerard laugh.

“Did you see them blush?” I said.

“Oh I saw them all right, I wonder how their kids will look like?” Gerard said.

“Whoa Gerard, you’re getting too advanced here, but now that you mention it…” I said.

“Hey guys, did you hear about the new couple?” Anna said, joining our group.

“Hey Anna, yeah we heard.” I said.

“Hell I was the one eavesdropping on them.” Gerard said.

“Ooh cool, like what you did to Brendon and Abi? Did you get caught?” Anna asked.

“And let Frankie kill me? No, I don’t think so.” Gerard said.

“Yeah, I hear Abi hit you two with a Spanish bolo.” Anna said.

“She did, and I’m bruising a bit.” I pointed out.

“So am I.” Gerard said.
