~Homophobia Is Gay~Chapter 4
Not everyone can be as understanding as the worlds greatest brother.
Mikey's POV.
Dinner time.
"So how was school today, boys?" Our dad asks in between mouthfuls.
"Fine." Gerard mumbles.
"Great." I say happily. The girl I'd been crushing on for months asked me out during free period.
"What happened?" My dad asks.
"Oh did that girl talk to you? What was her name? Alice?" My mom asks cheerfully.
"Ooh a girl. So tell us what happened." My dad says. I blush and look down at my plate.
"Her name's Alicia, not Alice. And she asked me to go to the movies with her tomorrow, and we exchanged numbers." I tell everyone.
"How wonderful, another girlfriend already. Maybe this time she'll be the one." My mom says. My dad reaches over to pat me on the back. I glance at Gerard and see he's dropped his head, hair covering his eyes like a shield from the rest of the world.
"How about you Gerard? Anyone you have your eyes on?" My dad asks. "And sit up straight, you're at the dinner table." He adds.
"Actually..." Gerard says, glancing at me out of the corner of his eyes. I nod and grab his hand under the table for reassurance. He'd told me about the new boy in Belleville High, Martin. He'd also told me about their many secret kisses in between classes. Another reason his attendance was actually adequate lately.
I hadn't told Frank about this though. I didn't know how he'd react and Gerard preferred to keep it between the two of us. Frank had also told me things that he made me promise to keep between the two of us.
"I've been seeing someone." He finishes. My parents looked shocked, as if Gerard couldn't be loved.
"Then tell us all about her. What's her name? Do you go to school with her? How long have you been seeing each other? Is it serious?" My dad asks in one breath.
"Yes, we go to school together. We've been seeing each other for three weeks and it's definitely more than a crush." Gerard says. I can see the way his face lights up when he talks about him.
"And?" My mom asks.
"And his name... is Martin."
"His? Oh..." My mom says, voice dropping to a whisper. My dad's face remains unreadable, staring at his plate like it's the most interesting thing in the world.
"Clear your plate and go to your room, please." My dad says coldly, without looking at either of us.
"But.." My mom starts.
"Not now, Donna. Gerard, go." He says.
"No Donald. You will not treat our son that way just because of his orientation. He is still the same sweet, sensitive little boy he's always been." Donna says and I resist the urge to jump up and down yelling 'Go mom!'.
AN: That's all I have written. I've decided to put this story on hiatus. Hopefully it won't be a permanent one. I've lost all ideas for it and have been bombarded with ideas for another. Hopefully I won't lose any of my wonderful readers, but if I do then I'm sorry. The new story will be titled "All It Takes Is A Ransom". It will still be frerard, but it will have a new twist.
Love you all,
Riley
