Swing Life Away -Fallingdark and I-

Bob looked up slightly, eyes wide as he took in Mikey, He bured his face in the illow again and sobbed.
"I'm fine" he mumbled, trying not to be too loud whenever he sobbed. He didn;t want Mikeys ologies, he wanted to be loved.

Mikey sighed and stood up, he'd reached thekitchen door to leave but was stopped by Robbin's arms-punching him in the stomach.

"You bastard. you have no right to be here, I never want to see you in this house again," She snarled and drew back, "Bob is the nicest, gentlest guy ever, he gets hurt realy eeasily and you hurt him worse than i've ever seen him, So get out now," She said and opened the door for him to leave.

Mikey left and ran home where he threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep almost instantly

Gerard came in a few hours later, throwing his shirt on teh floor and cllapsing next to his sleeping brother with a yawn.

Mikey woke as the bed was jostled, he looke up to see his big brother and he smiled sleepily and rubbe his eyes, "hey," he yawned.

"Hey" smiled Gerard, ruffling Mikeys hair "How did your visit to Bob go?"

"Meh," he sai snuggling into his brother's arms, and sighing, "How was work?" he asked.

Gerard sighed "A section caved in" he murmered "50 people died, I was in the next tunnel along and... Jesus Mikes it's fucking terrifying"

"Jeez, I wish I coul help," he said sincerley, but he ew he couln't so he just huddle further into his brothers arms.

Gerard puleld him clse and buried his face in Mikeys hair "Mikes, please promise me something? WHen you leave school, do nything you can to stay out of the pits. please."

"I promise, ad I'll find a way to gget you out to," he vowed, as he felt sleep overcome him again

Gerard smiled and curled upw ith him quikly falling asleep.

Mikey awoke the next day, it was a school day so he wouldnt have to eal with Bob yet, that was always good.

Gerard hadalready left for work at pretty much the crack of dwn, leaving Mikey with a small rndom sketch next to him.

Mikey looked at the paper on his brother's pillow an smiled, it was them both on the brige the day Gerard ssaid he loved Mikey back.

Bob pulled himself from his misery long enough to make Celeste breakfast an get her to school.

Celeste went into the classroom with Mr Johnson for PE and wavedd to her brother.

Bob smiled and left, curling on hi bed back hme and reenvolopin himsel fin miser.
