A/N: Oh my gosh! I am SO sorry for not uploading in over a month. My computer got a really bad virus and I also got overwhelmed with schoolwork as my finals were coming up, and it was just all too much for me to get anything uploaded. I also apologize because this chapter is only about half the length of a normal chapter. I hate writing pointless chapters, but the urge to update was just too much and I'm really pressed for time so I wrote a quickie. This is a story that I do have every intention of finishing things just may not move along quite as quickly as I would like. But enough of my rambling, here you go! Sorry again for being such a slow updater. I'll try and be better!


Gerard had hung around at the CD shop for a while, chatting with Ray and being thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of music. He had casually brought up the concept of starting a band and was pleased by how enthusiastic Ray had sounded. He hummed pleasantly to himself as he walked into his home and kicked off his shoes at the door. He was in the mood to grab another cup of coffee and then retreat to his room to write another song. Gerard heard clanking as he stepped into the kitchen, and found Mikey with his head buried in the cabinet.

"Hey, Mikes." Gerard said as he grabbed the can of coffee from the counter. "Watcha looking for?"

"Where in the fuck do you guys keep your microwave popcorn?" A strangely feminine voice asked in exasperation.

Gerard snapped his head around curiously, as a small girl popped her head up out of the cupboard.

"Alicia?" Gerard squeaked, accidentally knocking the can over and spilling coffee grounds onto the floor.

The girl smirked mischievously, leaning back onto the counter. "How's it going, Dumbfuck?"

"What the hell are you doing in my house?" He demanded, as Mikey entered the kitchen, shirtless.

"Oh. My. God." Gerard gasped, looking from Mikey to Alicia. One of Mikey's black t-shirts was draped over her small frame. "You guys totally did it! You had sex! What the FUCK?"

Mikey's eyes rounded as he shook his head, "No, we just-"

Alicia was grinning like a Cheshire cat as she sauntered over to Mikey and threw her arms around his neck.

"Who would've thought Gerard Way's little brother was sooooo good in bed." She purred, cutting her eyes toward Gerard.

He could only gape at the sight of Barbara's bitchy best friend draping herself on his baby brother.

She smiled and released him, "Mikey, will you make the popcorn? I'll be waiting in your bedroom." She pressed her lips against his and then disappeared down the hall.

"Mikey, what the hell?" Gerard finally yelled.

"WHAT?"

"Alicia? Are you fucking serious?" His older brother hissed. "When did this even happen?"

Baffled at Gerard's hostility Mikey slowly placed a popcorn bag in the microwave and mashed START, before replying. "That night at the party…. I told you I met someone-"

"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME IT WAS ALICIA!" Gee bellowed. "How could you leave that out?"

"You n-never asked for her n-name…" Mikey stuttered quietly, staring at his feet.

Gerard was pacing back and forth as he often did when he was troubled. "Mikes, you've gotta stop seeing her!"

"Why the fuck would I do that?"

"Well, first off, she's too old for you." Gee pointed out.

"She's only a junior! She's barely older than me!"

Oh. Gerard had assumed she and Barbara were the same age, but then again, Barbara was older than almost everyone else in the senior class.

"You were a virgin!"

"I still am..." Mikey's face turned beet red.

Gerard cocked a brow, "So you're telling me you didn't have sex with her? Then why is she in your shirt?"

Mike wouldn't answer for a long time, finally under Gerard's unrelenting scrutiny, he mumbled, "I kinda spilled coffee all over her other clothes."

The older brother fought off a smile. That's my dorky little brother that I love. He thought.

"She's still a bad influence." Gee crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against the counter intimidatingly.

Mikey laughed, "And Barbara was a saint, I guess? I'm not as corruptible as you think I am. I've been around the block once or twice, Gee-"

But Mikey trailed off as he realized he shouldn't have mentioned Barbara. She was a touchy subject.

Gerard cleared his throat, "Speaking of Barbara, Alicia is her best friend. You don't need to get mixed up with her crowd, Mikes. Trust me, I've been there. Plus, associating with her is like breaking the brother code or something. You just can't do that!"

Mikey shoved his hand through his short, already disheveled hair and looked his brother in the eye with so much sadness that Gerard's heart dropped a little. "I really like her, Gee. I don't have much luck with girls, you know that. Actually, until now, I have never had any luck with girls. I finally get lucky enough to meet an awesome, beautiful girl who actually likes me back, and you don't want me to be with her…. As much as I like her, you're my brother and I'm loyal to you until the day I die. So, if me being with Alicia upsets you, then I'll break things off. Because I just love you that much, Gee. You mean everything to me."

"Michael Way, you are the worst damn actor I have ever met." Gerard rolled his eyes, but slung an arm good-naturedly over his brother's shoulder. "But I sure as hell can't stay mad at you. Whatever, date who you want. If she makes you happy, then I'm happy for you, Bro."

"Thanks, Gee." Mikey grinned, grabbing the freshly popped bag of popcorn from the microwave.

"Good luck with her, though. She's a huge bitch." Gerard added smirking.

Mikey chuckled softly, "Not as much as you think. Trust me."

He turned and strutted down the hall, leaving Gerard shuttering at the thought of Alicia hooking her claws into his baby brother. He couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of pride though, Mikey finally got a girl. A very attractive girl, he had to admit. It was sure more than he had...

Time to wallow in my sorrows. Gee thought wryly as he dissappeared into the darkness of his cave-like basement.
