A/N: Five more chapters, including this one, of this fic. I can't believe this one is almost done too! I want to thank everyone who commented and gave me kudos here, just like I did on Bondage Mansion. I never expected this to do as well as Bondage, but I was truly pleased when some people who were reading Bondage came over to the fluffy side of Darling.
First Thank you to my wonderful and loyal beta's *Trixgrl* and *RedRomRomance*. They always have my back and do a beautiful job at making sure my chapters are not too fucked up. ^0^
Okay, once again, these are the people i would like to thank from the bottom of my little black heart: Not_important, Rainbow_Banshee109, Late_Dawns, and franksfurte, Thank you so much for believing in me and keeping me going. Also thanks to you guys I will always pair a dark fic with a lighthearted one. Now on to the chapter.
I was feeling really sappy last night when I wrote the first part of this. Having Frank croon to Mikey was just perfect in my eyes and a good reason for them to kiss. I was originally going to go for a sexual situation for Ray to catch them in, but I liked this better. Tipsy!Frank and Tipsy!Mikey are always fun too and what is a good Frerard without a drinking game right? ^0^
The title comes from a statement that *Trixgrl* made when I was thrwoing out teasers as i was writing. i just could not resist. ^0^
Songs sung by Mikey and Frank are , "Still Rock and Roll to Me" and "Just the Way You Are" By Billie Joel.
The Pocky game is real and so it men's pocky. ^0^
Finally, apologies to Ellen...I forgot who you were here! So I used you real name. @~@
*Gerard*
Gerard watched as Frank bustled about in the kitchen. With Mikey and Ray coming over for dinner, he knew it was Frank’s chance to really turn it out and show off his best recipes. He listened to Frank curse when he could not find something or squee in delight when he found something he was looking for. Gerard could not help but chuckle and realize that this was just one more reminder of how much he adored his Frankie.
”Goddammit, where the fuck is it!?”
”Frankie, calm down. What are you looking for now?”
”I can’t find my soufflé pans Gee. I know I put them in here last, but they’re gone now!”
Gerard circled Frank’s waist to quiet him down.
”Relax Frankie, you’re probably just frazzled and that is why you are missing them. Here I will take a look for you.”
Gerard ducked down and stuck his head into the deep cabinet. He had installed small lights at the top of the each one to make it easier for Frank to find things that he stored way in the back. He carefully moved items around at a much slower pace than Frank was before. Sure enough under an overturned pie plate he found the missing pans. He brought them out and placed them on the counter above before completely extracting himself from the cabinet. Frank squeed again and jumped up and down at the lost discovery. Before Gerard could fully straighten up he found Frank glommed onto him.
”Oh thank you Gee! I can’t believe that I missed them! Now dinner is going to be perfect! I’m going to make mini versions of your favorite roasted veggie soufflé!”
”Awww Frankie, you know that anything you make me will be my favorite.”
Frank embraced him one more time before shooing him out of the kitchen. Gerard watched as Frank rolled up his sleeves, displaying his brightly colored skin, and got serious about his cooking. Gerard sighed and allowed the door to swing shut behind him as he returned to the living room to await his brother and Ray’s arrival.
*Ray*
Ray could not even begin to understand the luck that had recently entered his life. Business was booming for his little art store when the local paper had snapped a pic of Gerard shopping in it. Now everyone wanted to know what art supplies he used. Ray was not about to betray his friend like that though, especially when Gerard could go into the city to the bigger supply stores. He told Gerard about the picture and the fans and Gerard gave the go ahead to share his product interest with the other customers. Now those products sold substantially faster than normal, but he always made sure to hide a supply just for Gerard.
”I can’t wait for you to try Frankie’s cooking! He has mad skills in the kitchen yo.”
Ray looked over at the passenger seat when Mikey said this. Mikey erupted in a fit of giggles and Ray could not help but laugh along. Mikey’s laugh was as infectious as he was. Ray was pleased that he got permission from Gerard to finally date him. He knew how protective Gerard was of his younger brother. They had a very close relationship that Ray did not want to interfere in, but wanted to be a part of. Now he got that opportunity and he was not going to waste it.
”Do you know what Frank is preparing for dinner?”
”Only that he had a bunch of new recipes he has been dying to try, and that this is the perfect chance.”
”Whoa how many of us are going to be there?”
”Just us, Gee and Frankie.”
”It sounds like a lot of food for four people.”
”Yeah, we will both probably end up with left overs to bring home.”
Ray just shook his head as they turned down Gerard’s road. They pulled into the driveway and parked. Ray jumped out of the car and ran around to open Mikey’s door. Mikey blushed and took Ray’s outstretched hand. They looked at each other and Ray leaned in for a simple kiss which Mikey gladly gave up. They walked hand and hand to the door and rang the bell. Gerard answered the door with a smile and a greeting.
”Hey Mikes, glad you guys could make it.”
He leaned over and embraced his younger brother in a warm hug. Mikey sighed in his older brother’s embrace. Ray felt a moment of jealousy, but it passed by quickly and Gerard let go of his brother and held his hand out for Ray to shake. The clasp was firm and suddenly Ray found himself pulled into an embrace as well. Gerard patted his back and then he let go. Ray smiled at this acceptance and Gerard smiled back. The three of them headed into the house and Gerard closed the door behind them.
*Mikey*
The aromas coming from the kitchen were mouthwatering. So many different scents blended together to remind Mikey what kind of a feast they were going to have. Mikey and Ray sat down on the sofa and Gerard in his chair. Gerard and Ray immediately launched into a discussion about new products that came into the store and which ones would possibly sell. Ray was always interested in Gerard’s opinion about these kinds of things. Mikey got bored quickly at all the shop talk.
”I’m gonna see if Frankie needs any help.”
”Careful Mikey, you know how Frank feels about interference.”
”Don’t worry Gee, I got this covered.”
Mikey kissed Ray on the cheek and walked behind the sofa to where the swinging door to the kitchen was. He pushed it open carefully in case Frank was close by. At first Mikey didn’t see anyone in the kitchen. The stove was covered in pots and pans that were simmering away. He noticed that the rice cooker was on too and that meant sushi and sake! He remembered the last time he had sushi with Frank and what happened afterwards and he blushed. Still no sign of Frank though, until he rounded the island and looked at the massive pantry. The doors were open and Frank could be seen balancing on his tip toes on the step ladder trying to reach the top shelf. Mikey watched as he stretched and his shirt rode up in the back reveling his crossed guns. Mikey gave Frank a little trouble when he got that tattoo. Frankie would get so mad at him when Mikey referred to it as a tramp stamp. He would huff and cross his arms and pout.
”I am not a tramp Mikeyway!”
”I know Frankie, but one day you will find someone who will make that dream come true.”
Mikey dove out of the way as Frank went to tackle him on the dorm room bed. He knew if Frank got a hold of him he would tickle him mercilessly. Mikey was no fool.
Mikey came back from this fond memory as he saw Frank lose his balance a bit and pitch forward. Without a second thought he was there with his hands around Frank’s waist steadying him once more. Frank turned around and smiled.
”Thanks Mikey.”
”Anytime Frankie. Did you need a little help here?”
”Yeah, I know I bought an extra bottle of tamari sauce, but damned if I can find it. Last time we went shopping Gee helped put the groceries away and he has a habit of putting extra supplies on the top shelf so they don’t get used by accident.”
”Okay Frankie, you get down and I will see if I can find it for you.”
Mikey let go of Frank’s waist and Frank dismounted the ladder. Mikey only had to go up two of the steps before he had a perfect view of the shelf. He saw the gold topped bottle off to the left and pulled it out. He handed it to Frank and then climbed down. Frank beamed at Mikey and kissed him on the cheek. He quickly made his way out of the pantry and over to the stove. He picked up one of the pot lids and carefully splashed some of the tamari into the ingredients. The smell hit Mikey and he licked his lips in anticipation of the concoction.
*Gerard*
Gerard had decided to talk to Ray about what was going on with the novel so far. How the last chapter really took a lot out of him and the context was pretty harsh. Ray looked at him with understanding. When Gerard began to get upset again, Ray came around and sat on the coffee table in front of him. He placed a comforting hand on Gerard’s shoulder.
”Don’t worry G-man, its okay. I don’t think I would have been able to even make it half way through the chapter. You are much braver then I could ever be.”
Gerard looked up and smiled as he wiped away a stray tear. He put his hand on Ray’s shoulder in a gesture of thanks.
”Come on Ray-man, come to the office and I will show you the other chapters that I have already finished.”
Ray and Gerard got up and made their way to the hall. Gerard passed the serving window and glanced inside. He saw Frank at the stove giving a taste of one of the dishes to Mikey from a wooden spoon. Mikey was licking his lips and Frank was laughing. Gerard smiled watching them and then jogged to catch up to Ray who was waiting for him in the hall.
”What’s up G-man?”
”Nothing, just making sure things were cool in the kitchen.”
Ray shrugged and kept going. He stopped at the entrance so Gerard could enter first. Gerard headed to his desk and pulled out a folder from the bottom drawer. Ray pulled up another chair alongside Gerard’s. He waited till Gerard handed him a chapter and then he settled in to read.
*Frank*
It was nice to have Mikey’s company in the kitchen. He was not as distracting as Gerard could be. Gerard would do little playful things that normally would make Frank happy, but when he was cooking he was in the zone and really had no time for fooling around. Mikey sat at the island and just watched him. He let him listen to his music and thrashed along with him on the good songs. The kitchen filled with Green Day as they belted out the words to, “King For A Day” laughing as they echoed each line. The Billie Joe continued to be loud and discorded until the album changed and a different Billie took over. Frank went to grab the iPod off the mount, but Mikey got to it first and held it over his head as he scrolled through the songs.
”Really Frankie, Billie Joel?”
”What? I like, 'Allentown'. It’s about Jersey after all!”
Mikey scrolled though the song selection and clicked on the next song. The opening guitar to, 'Still Rock and Roll to Me' reverberated through the room and Mikey began to sing.
”What’s a matter with the clothes I’m wearing?”
Frank smirked at this and answered with the next line smoothly.
”Can’t you tell that your tie's too wide.”
Mikey jumped off the stool and pulled up the collar of his shirt for the next line.
”Maybe I should buy some old tab collars”
”Welcome back to the age of jive.”
Frank grabbed Mikey’s hand and spun him around in a dance circle sending the next line to him in a mocking tone.
”Where have you been hiding out lately honey? You can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.”
Mikey took the lead and control of the dance throwing a shrug and a similar mocking voice to Frank which caused him to giggle.
”Everybody’s talkin' about the new sound, funny, but it’s still rock and roll to me.”
Frank and Mikey took turns throwing lines at each other until the song ended. They laughed at how silly they looked, but did not care. It was like old times in the dorms and once again Frank saw Mikey get misty eyed at the memory. The song switched, but stayed on Billie Joel and Frank smiled when he recognized the song. He brought Mikey back to the stool and had him sit down. He then grabbed the whisk that he was using to stir one of the sauces, and after quickly checking the dishes to see they were moving along, he flipped it over and used it to sing to Mikey.
*Mikey*
Mikey was in tears listening to Frank sing to him. After everything that he went through this week questioning who he was, it was nice to hear Frank echo what he said to him that night in the bedroom.
”I need to know that you will always be, the same old someone that I knew. What will it take till you believe in me, the way that I believe in you.”
Frank reached up a caressed Mikey’s cheek and wiped away some of the tears of joy streaming from them.
”I said I love you and that's forever, and this I promise from the heart. I couldn't love you any better. I love you just the way you are.”
The song ended and there was perfect silence in the room. Mikey looked at Frank as Frank leaned in and they shared a sweet kiss. Mikey circled his arms around Frank’s neck and Frank circled his waist. The kiss was slow and full of longing. Mikey ran his hands into Frank’s hair and caused Frank to groan when he fisted into it. Frank tightened his grip on Mikey’s waist and pulled him closer. They were so caught up in each other that they did not see the kitchen door swing open and then shut again with an astonished Ray on the other side.
*Ray*
After reading the chapter Ray decided to see how long it was till dinner. Gerard was busy trying to find a particular article on a new charcoal pencil that he thought Ray should carry. Ray left him to dig and left the office. He walked down the hallway and heard muffled music. He could not place the song, but it was slow and sweet. Sounded like something that Frank would listen to. He round the corner and looked up into the serving window and thought he saw Mikey, but then stepped on his shoelace. He quickly crossed to the sofa and sat to tie his shoe. The music stopped and no other music came on. Ray finished tying his shoe and rounded the sofa to the kitchen door. He only pushed it open a little and was about to call out for Mikey when his heart stopped. There was Frank kissing Mikey! Mikey was sitting on a stool and he had his hands running through Frank’s hair and Frank was pulling him in close so that Mikey was practically sitting on his hips! Ray stumbled backwards into the back of the sofa.
”What the fuck?!”
Ray’s voice was barely above a whisper. How could Mikey betray him? How could Frank betray Gerard?! He thought they were so happy and now Frank was cheating on him with his own brother! Ray didn’t have a chance to think anymore because Gerard rounded the corner.
”Man Ray, I don’t know where I put the magazine. Hang on, let me ask Frank.”
”Wait no G-man!”
Ray couldn’t stop him before Gerard pushed the door open.
”Hey Frankie, did you see the March copy of Art Major magazine?”
”Sure Gee, you stored it on the shelf so you would remember to show it to Ray.”
”Oh yeah, now I remember.”
Ray was listening to the conversation and Gerard did not sound angry at all. Was it possible that they had managed to break apart before he came in? But there was not enough time right? Ray was even more confused now. He moved away from the sofa and pushed the kitchen door open a little and was met with an even more shocking sight than the first time. Now instead of kissing Frank, Mikey was kissing Gerard. Gerard was standing behind Mikey, who was still seated on the stool from before, and Mikey had his arms circled up around Gerard’s neck. Gerard had bent down to meet Mikey’s face and again Mikey had pushed his hands into Gerard’s hair. ‘Mikey must really like doing that, it must be a kink for him…wait a fucking minute…that's his brother!’ At that moment his thoughts were interrupted by Frank looking over to the door and seeing him.
”Hey Ray, can you and Gee set the table for me. This way Mikey can help me get the food in serving dishes.”
”S-S-Sure Frank.”
Gerard let go of Mikey and walked over to Frank and swung him into a hug that ended up being a dip. He lifted his eyebrows a couple of times and kissed Frank deeply. Mikey giggled at the display and now Ray could not even tell which planet he was on any more! Gerard brought Frank upright again and after squeezing Mikey’s thigh he headed to the door.
”Come on Ray-man, Frankie wants to use the good dishes for this occasion.”
Ray watched as Gerard opened the china cabinet and pulled out four large dishes, four salad bowls, and four water glasses. He then pulled out the sake set too. Ray walked over to the buffet area and pulled the good silverware out. He also pulled out good linens and began to fold them. He placed them around the table. As he neared the service window he saw Mikey carrying over one of the dishes. He smiled at Ray and crooked his finger at him. Ray walked over and Mikey leaned out the window and gave him a sweet kiss. Ray could not help but smile. He took the dish from the window sill and placed it on top of the buffet warmer. He then continued around the table with the settings. Gerard followed after him setting up the china. This time he was near the window when Mikey came to it and Mikey called him over the same way. Instead of a kiss though, Gerard ran his thumb along Mikey’s lower lip and Mikey quickly pulled it into his mouth. He sucked on it for a few seconds and then let him go. He smiled at Gerard and handed him the dish. Gerard took it and they parted ways. Ray was still trying to access what was going on here when Frank came over to the window with the rice cooker. He leaned over and handed it to Ray. Ray took it and plugged it in. When he turned around Frank had pulled Gerard into a steamy kiss. Steamy only because of the steam rising from the dish that he was handing over. Suddenly Ray felt arms encircle his waist and Mikey was there watching his brother and Frank.
”I swear they bought the house just so they could use the window for that.”
Frank giggled and Gerard got a look on his face. He leaned into Frank and loudly whispered.
”Uh oh Frankie, they're on to us. Now we have to kill them.”
”Oh but, Gee, can’t we have fun with them first?”
Now it was Frank’s turn to wiggle his eyebrows and look at Ray. Ray could not help, but smile at this and Mikey was giggling behind him.
”Alright, enough of this shit, let’s eat!”
*

All through dinner Ray kept trying to process what he saw earlier and how everyone was behaving now. He was surprised when Gerard insisted that he sit next to him and across from Mikey, but he quickly realized that Frank liked to play footsie under the table. It was really quite adorable. Apparently Frank also enjoyed feeding sushi to Mikey and making ridiculous Sake toasts.
”Okay okay, this time let’s toast to the…”
”To the new chapter that I am helping Gee with tonight!”
”Kanpai!”
Ray and Gerard only sipped their sake, Mikey and Frank threw theirs back hard. Then they would get into a giggle fit and push each other. Gerard leaned into Ray and told him about the other day when he walked into the kitchen and found them both sloshed. Ray smiled at the thought of Mikey drunk. He imagined that he would be more bowlegged than he is normally. He snickered out loud.
”Hey hey hey, no secrets here…oohhh, we should play I Never!”
”Oh God Frankie, we haven’t played that since school!”
”I know! It will be fun, come on, Mikey's goes first.”
Frankie filled everyone’s sake glass again.
”Okay, I never…broke a bone when I was little.”
Frank groaned a drank from his cup. Mikey giggled and refilled it.
”Okay fine. I never…wore lipstick.”
”No fair Frankie, you did that on purpose!”
Mikey pouted, but drank up.
”burp Okay Gee, your next.”
”Okay, hmm, I never…went to private school.”
Frank picked up his cup and drank, but surprisingly so did Ray. Everyone looked at Ray and he shrugged his shoulders.
”What? I went for a year just to see if I liked it, turns out I didn’t, but it still counts.”
”Okay Ray-man, your turn.”
”Let see. I never…kissed my best friend.”
Ray was not surprised to see Frank and Mikey look at each other and giggle before they drank. Ray looked at Gerard, but he did not seem to be bothered at all. He just kept watching the two getting more drunk and acting sillier and sillier.
”You seem used to this G-man.”
”Yeah, this is just how they act together. Trust me sake or no sake.”
”Oohhh I have another idea, let’s play the pocky game!”
”Really Frankie? Are you trying to turn us all into teenagers?”
”Oh shut up Gee and take everyone to the living room.”
Ray watched as Frankie stuck his tongue out at Gerard and pulled his right lid down at the same time. He then headed back into the kitchen wiggling his hips as he went. Ray laughed as he noticed that Gerard was all but hypnotized by this action. He shooed them into the living room just as he was told.
”So what’s the pocky game?”
”Oh it’s simple Ray, two people sit in front of each other and take either end of a pocky stick in their mouth. Then they begin to eat it at the same time moving closer to each other. The one that chickens out first in the loser.”
”Oh you mean before they kiss?”
”Exactly.”
At that moment Frank returned with one red and one green box in his hand. Ray knew the red one, but the green made him curious. He took the box from Frank and looked at it.
”Men’s Pocky?”
”Yeah, its dark chocolate.”
”Why is it called Men’s pocky?”
”I don’t fucking know, it just is!”
Frank was whining now and Mikey pulled him down onto the sofa and pet his hair. Mikey glared at Ray and Ray just put up his hands in surrender while Gerard laughed next to him. Mikey grabbed the red box and pulled out a stick of semi covered milk chocolate. He placed one end in his mouth. Frank placed the other end in his mouth. Gerard sounded for them to go. Ray watched as Mikey and Frank started eating the confection slowly as they moved their faces towards each other.They kept eye contact although Mikey was wearing a smirk compared to Frank. At the last minute when their lips almost touched, Frank lost his nerve and severed the stick.
”Hah, I won again!”
”No fair Mikey, you always give me that smirk and it makes me cave!”
”All’s fair in love and pocky. Okay you two are up next.”
Gerard picked up the Men’s pocky and opened the package. Ray watched as he slid a piece out and placed the dark chocolate side between his lips. Ray leaned over and took the other side.
”Ready, Go!”
The two men began to move their mouths crunching as they moved close. Ray looked into Gerard’s eyes and noticed they were really intense. Ray kept glancing down at the stick, but Gerard kept his piercing gaze straight. It was unnerving Ray so much that before he even got to the chocolate, he bit his end off.
”Humph, too easy.”
”Yeah, well now you have to go against me Gee and I am not that easy.”
”Says you Mikeyway.”
Gerard switched places with Frank and sat in front of Mikey. He pulled out another piece of Men’s pocky and offered the dark chocolate side to Mikey. Mikey parted his lips and using his tongue pulled the stick into his mouth. He swirled it and moved it slowly in and out making it hard for Gerard to grab the other side. Frank leaned into whisper in Ray’s ear.
”That is one of Mikey’s secret weapons, but he has never played the game with Gee before.”
Ray saw Mikey finally stop and Gerard was able to get a hold of the other side. Frank counted off again and an agonizing slow pace was started. This was much more that Ray and Gerard had done. Mikey seem to be on a mission. The mouth movements were not subtle at all as he tried to get Gerard to break, but Gerard was cool, just staring at him in silence with only the crunching noise filling the room. As they got closer to the middle, Ray thought there was a drop of sweat fall down Mikey’s face. He broke eye contact for a second and glanced at Ray and Frank. That was his undoing as Gerard smoothly touched his lips and sucked the rest of the confection into his mouth.
”I win.”
Mikey sat there shocked for a moment and then pushed his lips back on his brother’s. Gerard gladly accepted them. They kissed slowly without a thought of anyone else in the room. Ray looked over at Frank, but he had a look of content on his face and something more. He rested a hand on Ray’s thigh.
”Aren’t they beautiful together?”
”Yeah, they kind of are, but aren’t you jealous?”
”What? Mikey is my best friend, he would never do anything to hurt me.”
Frank turned and looked at Ray.
”This is something that just is part of being Mikey, I don’t know how to describe it, but neither Gee nor I have any fear that he will come between us…unless we want him too.”
Ray did a double take when Frank said that and then, ‘Oh, this isn’t the first time?’ Frank nodded as if he knew what Ray was thinking. Strangely this calmed him. If Frank was alright with this, shouldn’t he be too. I mean yeah, they were brothers, but this was his best friend for years now. Gerard would never try and ruin his budding relationship with Mikey on purpose. Mikey and Gerard finally broke apart and Ray could not help, but smile at how happy he looked at that moment, that is until he remembered that Ray was there. He looked over at Ray and…
*Mikey*
”Oh fuck."
Mikey started to freak out. He just kissed his brother in front of Ray! Ray was going to hate him now! He would never understand like Frank did. Mikey started to hyperventilate.
”Mikey? Mikes?”
Ray must have noticed that Mikey was getting upset because he jumped up and over the coffee table. He wrapped Mikey up in his arms and hugged him.
”Mikey, shhh, baby relax, I’m not mad at you.”
”Y-Y-You’re not?”
”No baby, I was confused at first, but now I think I understand.”
”You do?”
”Yeah, I think I do and I am fine with it, really I am.”
Mikey looked at Ray with tears in his eyes. He hugged Ray fiercely and buried his face in his chest. Ray hugged him back and kissed the top of his head. He looked up and saw Frank standing in front of Gerard with Gerard’s arms wrapped around his waist. They were both smiling at him.
”See Gee, I told you Ray would be good for Mikey.”
”Yeah, you did. I think I can finally let him go.”
”Go?”
”Well yeah. Gee was only being really protective over Mikey because he did not trust anyone to do it better.”
Mikey looked up at that moment and smiled. He reached up and pushed his hand through Ray’s hair. Ray smiled and tilting his head, met Mikey in a kiss.
”Are you happy Mikey?”
”Yeah Gee, I think I am.”
Mikey got up and went over to Frank, he embraced him tightly. Gerard came around the other side and they both enveloped Mikey between them.
”So, who’s ready for dessert?”

*Gerard*
Gerard watched as Frank bustled about in the kitchen. With Mikey and Ray coming over for dinner, he knew it was Frank’s chance to really turn it out and show off his best recipes. He listened to Frank curse when he could not find something or squee in delight when he found something he was looking for. Gerard could not help but chuckle and realize that this was just one more reminder of how much he adored his Frankie.
”Goddammit, where the fuck is it!?”
”Frankie, calm down. What are you looking for now?”
”I can’t find my soufflé pans Gee. I know I put them in here last, but they’re gone now!”
Gerard circled Frank’s waist to quiet him down.
”Relax Frankie, you’re probably just frazzled and that is why you are missing them. Here I will take a look for you.”
Gerard ducked down and stuck his head into the deep cabinet. He had installed small lights at the top of the each one to make it easier for Frank to find things that he stored way in the back. He carefully moved items around at a much slower pace than Frank was before. Sure enough under an overturned pie plate he found the missing pans. He brought them out and placed them on the counter above before completely extracting himself from the cabinet. Frank squeed again and jumped up and down at the lost discovery. Before Gerard could fully straighten up he found Frank glommed onto him.
”Oh thank you Gee! I can’t believe that I missed them! Now dinner is going to be perfect! I’m going to make mini versions of your favorite roasted veggie soufflé!”
”Awww Frankie, you know that anything you make me will be my favorite.”
Frank embraced him one more time before shooing him out of the kitchen. Gerard watched as Frank rolled up his sleeves, displaying his brightly colored skin, and got serious about his cooking. Gerard sighed and allowed the door to swing shut behind him as he returned to the living room to await his brother and Ray’s arrival.
*Ray*
Ray could not even begin to understand the luck that had recently entered his life. Business was booming for his little art store when the local paper had snapped a pic of Gerard shopping in it. Now everyone wanted to know what art supplies he used. Ray was not about to betray his friend like that though, especially when Gerard could go into the city to the bigger supply stores. He told Gerard about the picture and the fans and Gerard gave the go ahead to share his product interest with the other customers. Now those products sold substantially faster than normal, but he always made sure to hide a supply just for Gerard.
”I can’t wait for you to try Frankie’s cooking! He has mad skills in the kitchen yo.”
Ray looked over at the passenger seat when Mikey said this. Mikey erupted in a fit of giggles and Ray could not help but laugh along. Mikey’s laugh was as infectious as he was. Ray was pleased that he got permission from Gerard to finally date him. He knew how protective Gerard was of his younger brother. They had a very close relationship that Ray did not want to interfere in, but wanted to be a part of. Now he got that opportunity and he was not going to waste it.
”Do you know what Frank is preparing for dinner?”
”Only that he had a bunch of new recipes he has been dying to try, and that this is the perfect chance.”
”Whoa how many of us are going to be there?”
”Just us, Gee and Frankie.”
”It sounds like a lot of food for four people.”
”Yeah, we will both probably end up with left overs to bring home.”
Ray just shook his head as they turned down Gerard’s road. They pulled into the driveway and parked. Ray jumped out of the car and ran around to open Mikey’s door. Mikey blushed and took Ray’s outstretched hand. They looked at each other and Ray leaned in for a simple kiss which Mikey gladly gave up. They walked hand and hand to the door and rang the bell. Gerard answered the door with a smile and a greeting.
”Hey Mikes, glad you guys could make it.”
He leaned over and embraced his younger brother in a warm hug. Mikey sighed in his older brother’s embrace. Ray felt a moment of jealousy, but it passed by quickly and Gerard let go of his brother and held his hand out for Ray to shake. The clasp was firm and suddenly Ray found himself pulled into an embrace as well. Gerard patted his back and then he let go. Ray smiled at this acceptance and Gerard smiled back. The three of them headed into the house and Gerard closed the door behind them.
*Mikey*
The aromas coming from the kitchen were mouthwatering. So many different scents blended together to remind Mikey what kind of a feast they were going to have. Mikey and Ray sat down on the sofa and Gerard in his chair. Gerard and Ray immediately launched into a discussion about new products that came into the store and which ones would possibly sell. Ray was always interested in Gerard’s opinion about these kinds of things. Mikey got bored quickly at all the shop talk.
”I’m gonna see if Frankie needs any help.”
”Careful Mikey, you know how Frank feels about interference.”
”Don’t worry Gee, I got this covered.”
Mikey kissed Ray on the cheek and walked behind the sofa to where the swinging door to the kitchen was. He pushed it open carefully in case Frank was close by. At first Mikey didn’t see anyone in the kitchen. The stove was covered in pots and pans that were simmering away. He noticed that the rice cooker was on too and that meant sushi and sake! He remembered the last time he had sushi with Frank and what happened afterwards and he blushed. Still no sign of Frank though, until he rounded the island and looked at the massive pantry. The doors were open and Frank could be seen balancing on his tip toes on the step ladder trying to reach the top shelf. Mikey watched as he stretched and his shirt rode up in the back reveling his crossed guns. Mikey gave Frank a little trouble when he got that tattoo. Frankie would get so mad at him when Mikey referred to it as a tramp stamp. He would huff and cross his arms and pout.
”I am not a tramp Mikeyway!”
”I know Frankie, but one day you will find someone who will make that dream come true.”
Mikey dove out of the way as Frank went to tackle him on the dorm room bed. He knew if Frank got a hold of him he would tickle him mercilessly. Mikey was no fool.
Mikey came back from this fond memory as he saw Frank lose his balance a bit and pitch forward. Without a second thought he was there with his hands around Frank’s waist steadying him once more. Frank turned around and smiled.
”Thanks Mikey.”
”Anytime Frankie. Did you need a little help here?”
”Yeah, I know I bought an extra bottle of tamari sauce, but damned if I can find it. Last time we went shopping Gee helped put the groceries away and he has a habit of putting extra supplies on the top shelf so they don’t get used by accident.”
”Okay Frankie, you get down and I will see if I can find it for you.”
Mikey let go of Frank’s waist and Frank dismounted the ladder. Mikey only had to go up two of the steps before he had a perfect view of the shelf. He saw the gold topped bottle off to the left and pulled it out. He handed it to Frank and then climbed down. Frank beamed at Mikey and kissed him on the cheek. He quickly made his way out of the pantry and over to the stove. He picked up one of the pot lids and carefully splashed some of the tamari into the ingredients. The smell hit Mikey and he licked his lips in anticipation of the concoction.
*Gerard*
Gerard had decided to talk to Ray about what was going on with the novel so far. How the last chapter really took a lot out of him and the context was pretty harsh. Ray looked at him with understanding. When Gerard began to get upset again, Ray came around and sat on the coffee table in front of him. He placed a comforting hand on Gerard’s shoulder.
”Don’t worry G-man, its okay. I don’t think I would have been able to even make it half way through the chapter. You are much braver then I could ever be.”
Gerard looked up and smiled as he wiped away a stray tear. He put his hand on Ray’s shoulder in a gesture of thanks.
”Come on Ray-man, come to the office and I will show you the other chapters that I have already finished.”
Ray and Gerard got up and made their way to the hall. Gerard passed the serving window and glanced inside. He saw Frank at the stove giving a taste of one of the dishes to Mikey from a wooden spoon. Mikey was licking his lips and Frank was laughing. Gerard smiled watching them and then jogged to catch up to Ray who was waiting for him in the hall.
”What’s up G-man?”
”Nothing, just making sure things were cool in the kitchen.”
Ray shrugged and kept going. He stopped at the entrance so Gerard could enter first. Gerard headed to his desk and pulled out a folder from the bottom drawer. Ray pulled up another chair alongside Gerard’s. He waited till Gerard handed him a chapter and then he settled in to read.
*Frank*
It was nice to have Mikey’s company in the kitchen. He was not as distracting as Gerard could be. Gerard would do little playful things that normally would make Frank happy, but when he was cooking he was in the zone and really had no time for fooling around. Mikey sat at the island and just watched him. He let him listen to his music and thrashed along with him on the good songs. The kitchen filled with Green Day as they belted out the words to, “King For A Day” laughing as they echoed each line. The Billie Joe continued to be loud and discorded until the album changed and a different Billie took over. Frank went to grab the iPod off the mount, but Mikey got to it first and held it over his head as he scrolled through the songs.
”Really Frankie, Billie Joel?”
”What? I like, 'Allentown'. It’s about Jersey after all!”
Mikey scrolled though the song selection and clicked on the next song. The opening guitar to, 'Still Rock and Roll to Me' reverberated through the room and Mikey began to sing.
”What’s a matter with the clothes I’m wearing?”
Frank smirked at this and answered with the next line smoothly.
”Can’t you tell that your tie's too wide.”
Mikey jumped off the stool and pulled up the collar of his shirt for the next line.
”Maybe I should buy some old tab collars”
”Welcome back to the age of jive.”
Frank grabbed Mikey’s hand and spun him around in a dance circle sending the next line to him in a mocking tone.
”Where have you been hiding out lately honey? You can’t dress trashy till you spend a lot of money.”
Mikey took the lead and control of the dance throwing a shrug and a similar mocking voice to Frank which caused him to giggle.
”Everybody’s talkin' about the new sound, funny, but it’s still rock and roll to me.”
Frank and Mikey took turns throwing lines at each other until the song ended. They laughed at how silly they looked, but did not care. It was like old times in the dorms and once again Frank saw Mikey get misty eyed at the memory. The song switched, but stayed on Billie Joel and Frank smiled when he recognized the song. He brought Mikey back to the stool and had him sit down. He then grabbed the whisk that he was using to stir one of the sauces, and after quickly checking the dishes to see they were moving along, he flipped it over and used it to sing to Mikey.
*Mikey*
Mikey was in tears listening to Frank sing to him. After everything that he went through this week questioning who he was, it was nice to hear Frank echo what he said to him that night in the bedroom.
”I need to know that you will always be, the same old someone that I knew. What will it take till you believe in me, the way that I believe in you.”
Frank reached up a caressed Mikey’s cheek and wiped away some of the tears of joy streaming from them.
”I said I love you and that's forever, and this I promise from the heart. I couldn't love you any better. I love you just the way you are.”
The song ended and there was perfect silence in the room. Mikey looked at Frank as Frank leaned in and they shared a sweet kiss. Mikey circled his arms around Frank’s neck and Frank circled his waist. The kiss was slow and full of longing. Mikey ran his hands into Frank’s hair and caused Frank to groan when he fisted into it. Frank tightened his grip on Mikey’s waist and pulled him closer. They were so caught up in each other that they did not see the kitchen door swing open and then shut again with an astonished Ray on the other side.
*Ray*
After reading the chapter Ray decided to see how long it was till dinner. Gerard was busy trying to find a particular article on a new charcoal pencil that he thought Ray should carry. Ray left him to dig and left the office. He walked down the hallway and heard muffled music. He could not place the song, but it was slow and sweet. Sounded like something that Frank would listen to. He round the corner and looked up into the serving window and thought he saw Mikey, but then stepped on his shoelace. He quickly crossed to the sofa and sat to tie his shoe. The music stopped and no other music came on. Ray finished tying his shoe and rounded the sofa to the kitchen door. He only pushed it open a little and was about to call out for Mikey when his heart stopped. There was Frank kissing Mikey! Mikey was sitting on a stool and he had his hands running through Frank’s hair and Frank was pulling him in close so that Mikey was practically sitting on his hips! Ray stumbled backwards into the back of the sofa.
”What the fuck?!”
Ray’s voice was barely above a whisper. How could Mikey betray him? How could Frank betray Gerard?! He thought they were so happy and now Frank was cheating on him with his own brother! Ray didn’t have a chance to think anymore because Gerard rounded the corner.
”Man Ray, I don’t know where I put the magazine. Hang on, let me ask Frank.”
”Wait no G-man!”
Ray couldn’t stop him before Gerard pushed the door open.
”Hey Frankie, did you see the March copy of Art Major magazine?”
”Sure Gee, you stored it on the shelf so you would remember to show it to Ray.”
”Oh yeah, now I remember.”
Ray was listening to the conversation and Gerard did not sound angry at all. Was it possible that they had managed to break apart before he came in? But there was not enough time right? Ray was even more confused now. He moved away from the sofa and pushed the kitchen door open a little and was met with an even more shocking sight than the first time. Now instead of kissing Frank, Mikey was kissing Gerard. Gerard was standing behind Mikey, who was still seated on the stool from before, and Mikey had his arms circled up around Gerard’s neck. Gerard had bent down to meet Mikey’s face and again Mikey had pushed his hands into Gerard’s hair. ‘Mikey must really like doing that, it must be a kink for him…wait a fucking minute…that's his brother!’ At that moment his thoughts were interrupted by Frank looking over to the door and seeing him.
”Hey Ray, can you and Gee set the table for me. This way Mikey can help me get the food in serving dishes.”
”S-S-Sure Frank.”
Gerard let go of Mikey and walked over to Frank and swung him into a hug that ended up being a dip. He lifted his eyebrows a couple of times and kissed Frank deeply. Mikey giggled at the display and now Ray could not even tell which planet he was on any more! Gerard brought Frank upright again and after squeezing Mikey’s thigh he headed to the door.
”Come on Ray-man, Frankie wants to use the good dishes for this occasion.”
Ray watched as Gerard opened the china cabinet and pulled out four large dishes, four salad bowls, and four water glasses. He then pulled out the sake set too. Ray walked over to the buffet area and pulled the good silverware out. He also pulled out good linens and began to fold them. He placed them around the table. As he neared the service window he saw Mikey carrying over one of the dishes. He smiled at Ray and crooked his finger at him. Ray walked over and Mikey leaned out the window and gave him a sweet kiss. Ray could not help but smile. He took the dish from the window sill and placed it on top of the buffet warmer. He then continued around the table with the settings. Gerard followed after him setting up the china. This time he was near the window when Mikey came to it and Mikey called him over the same way. Instead of a kiss though, Gerard ran his thumb along Mikey’s lower lip and Mikey quickly pulled it into his mouth. He sucked on it for a few seconds and then let him go. He smiled at Gerard and handed him the dish. Gerard took it and they parted ways. Ray was still trying to access what was going on here when Frank came over to the window with the rice cooker. He leaned over and handed it to Ray. Ray took it and plugged it in. When he turned around Frank had pulled Gerard into a steamy kiss. Steamy only because of the steam rising from the dish that he was handing over. Suddenly Ray felt arms encircle his waist and Mikey was there watching his brother and Frank.
”I swear they bought the house just so they could use the window for that.”
Frank giggled and Gerard got a look on his face. He leaned into Frank and loudly whispered.
”Uh oh Frankie, they're on to us. Now we have to kill them.”
”Oh but, Gee, can’t we have fun with them first?”
Now it was Frank’s turn to wiggle his eyebrows and look at Ray. Ray could not help, but smile at this and Mikey was giggling behind him.
”Alright, enough of this shit, let’s eat!”

All through dinner Ray kept trying to process what he saw earlier and how everyone was behaving now. He was surprised when Gerard insisted that he sit next to him and across from Mikey, but he quickly realized that Frank liked to play footsie under the table. It was really quite adorable. Apparently Frank also enjoyed feeding sushi to Mikey and making ridiculous Sake toasts.
”Okay okay, this time let’s toast to the…”
”To the new chapter that I am helping Gee with tonight!”
”Kanpai!”
Ray and Gerard only sipped their sake, Mikey and Frank threw theirs back hard. Then they would get into a giggle fit and push each other. Gerard leaned into Ray and told him about the other day when he walked into the kitchen and found them both sloshed. Ray smiled at the thought of Mikey drunk. He imagined that he would be more bowlegged than he is normally. He snickered out loud.
”Hey hey hey, no secrets here…oohhh, we should play I Never!”
”Oh God Frankie, we haven’t played that since school!”
”I know! It will be fun, come on, Mikey's goes first.”
Frankie filled everyone’s sake glass again.
”Okay, I never…broke a bone when I was little.”
Frank groaned a drank from his cup. Mikey giggled and refilled it.
”Okay fine. I never…wore lipstick.”
”No fair Frankie, you did that on purpose!”
Mikey pouted, but drank up.
”burp Okay Gee, your next.”
”Okay, hmm, I never…went to private school.”
Frank picked up his cup and drank, but surprisingly so did Ray. Everyone looked at Ray and he shrugged his shoulders.
”What? I went for a year just to see if I liked it, turns out I didn’t, but it still counts.”
”Okay Ray-man, your turn.”
”Let see. I never…kissed my best friend.”
Ray was not surprised to see Frank and Mikey look at each other and giggle before they drank. Ray looked at Gerard, but he did not seem to be bothered at all. He just kept watching the two getting more drunk and acting sillier and sillier.
”You seem used to this G-man.”
”Yeah, this is just how they act together. Trust me sake or no sake.”
”Oohhh I have another idea, let’s play the pocky game!”
”Really Frankie? Are you trying to turn us all into teenagers?”
”Oh shut up Gee and take everyone to the living room.”
Ray watched as Frankie stuck his tongue out at Gerard and pulled his right lid down at the same time. He then headed back into the kitchen wiggling his hips as he went. Ray laughed as he noticed that Gerard was all but hypnotized by this action. He shooed them into the living room just as he was told.
”So what’s the pocky game?”
”Oh it’s simple Ray, two people sit in front of each other and take either end of a pocky stick in their mouth. Then they begin to eat it at the same time moving closer to each other. The one that chickens out first in the loser.”
”Oh you mean before they kiss?”
”Exactly.”
At that moment Frank returned with one red and one green box in his hand. Ray knew the red one, but the green made him curious. He took the box from Frank and looked at it.
”Men’s Pocky?”
”Yeah, its dark chocolate.”
”Why is it called Men’s pocky?”
”I don’t fucking know, it just is!”
Frank was whining now and Mikey pulled him down onto the sofa and pet his hair. Mikey glared at Ray and Ray just put up his hands in surrender while Gerard laughed next to him. Mikey grabbed the red box and pulled out a stick of semi covered milk chocolate. He placed one end in his mouth. Frank placed the other end in his mouth. Gerard sounded for them to go. Ray watched as Mikey and Frank started eating the confection slowly as they moved their faces towards each other.They kept eye contact although Mikey was wearing a smirk compared to Frank. At the last minute when their lips almost touched, Frank lost his nerve and severed the stick.
”Hah, I won again!”
”No fair Mikey, you always give me that smirk and it makes me cave!”
”All’s fair in love and pocky. Okay you two are up next.”
Gerard picked up the Men’s pocky and opened the package. Ray watched as he slid a piece out and placed the dark chocolate side between his lips. Ray leaned over and took the other side.
”Ready, Go!”
The two men began to move their mouths crunching as they moved close. Ray looked into Gerard’s eyes and noticed they were really intense. Ray kept glancing down at the stick, but Gerard kept his piercing gaze straight. It was unnerving Ray so much that before he even got to the chocolate, he bit his end off.
”Humph, too easy.”
”Yeah, well now you have to go against me Gee and I am not that easy.”
”Says you Mikeyway.”
Gerard switched places with Frank and sat in front of Mikey. He pulled out another piece of Men’s pocky and offered the dark chocolate side to Mikey. Mikey parted his lips and using his tongue pulled the stick into his mouth. He swirled it and moved it slowly in and out making it hard for Gerard to grab the other side. Frank leaned into whisper in Ray’s ear.
”That is one of Mikey’s secret weapons, but he has never played the game with Gee before.”
Ray saw Mikey finally stop and Gerard was able to get a hold of the other side. Frank counted off again and an agonizing slow pace was started. This was much more that Ray and Gerard had done. Mikey seem to be on a mission. The mouth movements were not subtle at all as he tried to get Gerard to break, but Gerard was cool, just staring at him in silence with only the crunching noise filling the room. As they got closer to the middle, Ray thought there was a drop of sweat fall down Mikey’s face. He broke eye contact for a second and glanced at Ray and Frank. That was his undoing as Gerard smoothly touched his lips and sucked the rest of the confection into his mouth.
”I win.”
Mikey sat there shocked for a moment and then pushed his lips back on his brother’s. Gerard gladly accepted them. They kissed slowly without a thought of anyone else in the room. Ray looked over at Frank, but he had a look of content on his face and something more. He rested a hand on Ray’s thigh.
”Aren’t they beautiful together?”
”Yeah, they kind of are, but aren’t you jealous?”
”What? Mikey is my best friend, he would never do anything to hurt me.”
Frank turned and looked at Ray.
”This is something that just is part of being Mikey, I don’t know how to describe it, but neither Gee nor I have any fear that he will come between us…unless we want him too.”
Ray did a double take when Frank said that and then, ‘Oh, this isn’t the first time?’ Frank nodded as if he knew what Ray was thinking. Strangely this calmed him. If Frank was alright with this, shouldn’t he be too. I mean yeah, they were brothers, but this was his best friend for years now. Gerard would never try and ruin his budding relationship with Mikey on purpose. Mikey and Gerard finally broke apart and Ray could not help, but smile at how happy he looked at that moment, that is until he remembered that Ray was there. He looked over at Ray and…
*Mikey*
”Oh fuck."
Mikey started to freak out. He just kissed his brother in front of Ray! Ray was going to hate him now! He would never understand like Frank did. Mikey started to hyperventilate.
”Mikey? Mikes?”
Ray must have noticed that Mikey was getting upset because he jumped up and over the coffee table. He wrapped Mikey up in his arms and hugged him.
”Mikey, shhh, baby relax, I’m not mad at you.”
”Y-Y-You’re not?”
”No baby, I was confused at first, but now I think I understand.”
”You do?”
”Yeah, I think I do and I am fine with it, really I am.”
Mikey looked at Ray with tears in his eyes. He hugged Ray fiercely and buried his face in his chest. Ray hugged him back and kissed the top of his head. He looked up and saw Frank standing in front of Gerard with Gerard’s arms wrapped around his waist. They were both smiling at him.
”See Gee, I told you Ray would be good for Mikey.”
”Yeah, you did. I think I can finally let him go.”
”Go?”
”Well yeah. Gee was only being really protective over Mikey because he did not trust anyone to do it better.”
Mikey looked up at that moment and smiled. He reached up and pushed his hand through Ray’s hair. Ray smiled and tilting his head, met Mikey in a kiss.
”Are you happy Mikey?”
”Yeah Gee, I think I am.”
Mikey got up and went over to Frank, he embraced him tightly. Gerard came around the other side and they both enveloped Mikey between them.
”So, who’s ready for dessert?”
