"And thunderstorms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily."

I sighed contentedly and sang along softly to the music winding towards me from my CD player across the room. It was around sunset and I, Mikey Way, was sitting on my bed, watching the road outside from my window with a hopeful gleam in my eye. Earlier that day, Frank called and said that, weather permitting, he would be over tonight. So there I was, waiting for him. For my Frank. Well, technically, he wasn't mine, per say. He was my best friend but I had nursed a small (huge) crush on him for a few years. To be perfectly honest, I've always hoped that one day, Frank would come over, profess his undying love for me and carry me off into the sunset. As lovely as that sounds, it was quite unlikely seeing as he was too scrawny and asthmatic to carry me anywhere. And the fact that he wasn't gay. While he was always supportive of my outright dislike of the female gender, he himself was something of a ladies man.



A loud clap of thunder interrupted my thoughts and I frowned in disappointment. I shifted my gaze to the suddenly cloudy sky and prayed that maybe the rain could wait until after Frank arrived. No such luck. There was a bright streak of lightening, an ear shattering clap of thunder, and the rain came pouring down in sheets. I sighed and watched the rain batter the trees for a moment before locking my window and standing back up, shuffling over to my CD player and turning it off. After quickly changing into some warm pj's , I stretched and pulled the covers back on my bed, laying down and pulling a pillow towards me. I wrapped my arms around it and cuddled up to it, subconsciously wishing it was Frank's slight frame I was holding before falling into a restless slumber

"Fuck Mikey, open the fucking window!"

My eyes shot open and I looked around in mild alarm before my eyes rested on my window. Frank was standing outside, looking livid as the rain pounded down on his small frame and looking rather like a drowned cat. Suppressing laughter, I stood up and walked over to my window, unlocking it and letting Frank climb inside. He flicked his wet hair out of his eyes and shot me a venomous glare.

"Why the hell was your window closed Mikey?" He snapped.

"It’s raining, honey, I figured you wouldn’t be coming over." I replied, slightly taken aback by his sudden outburst and barely concealing my elation that he actually came.

Frank chuckled and gave me a sweet smile, stepping closer to me and letting his left arm rest lightly on my waist. I shivered from the gesture and the sudden cold from the soaking wet sleeve of his jacket. Why did he even wear a jacket? It’s not like it did him any good. Frank obviously felt my uneasiness because he gave me a weird look and asked me if I was okay. I simply nodded and he smiled before removing his arm and walking over to my closet. I sat back down on my bed as he grabbed a set of my PJ’s and disappeared into bathroom to change. My mind was reeling. What could possibly be important enough to come over here during a storm? I shook my head as he walked back out and gave me yet another odd look. I smiled at him and he walked back over to my still open closet. I cocked my head to the side. What now? Then, hesitantly he reached into my closet and pulled out my acoustic guitar. What the hell? He sat down beside me and tuned my guitar quickly before looking up at me with a nervous smile.

"Mikey...um this is all Gee’s idea so if I suck then it’s all his fault. But...I think it describes how I feel and I changed the name and everything so um...here it goes." He stuttered soft in a very nervous voice.

I stared at him with my mouth open and my eyes wide as he took a shaky breath and began to strum softly.

"Smiles and his laughter
It's the only thing that I've been waiting for a time
Regardless of our distance and our hope...grows greater
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time
...the only thing that I've been waiting for.

I hope it's something worth the waiting
'Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
Thunder storms could never stop me
'Cause there's no one in the world like Mikey

By then, hot tears were flowing silently down my face. It was unreal. It was amazing and romantic and so very "Frank" that I almost laughed out loud. But I stopped myself as he started the next verse.

"He's simple yet confusing
His sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble
Days seem like years in this month of December
The winter coldens me for I have yet to sleep
And never will I give up trying 'cause you're everything to me

I hope it's something worth the waiting
It's the only time that I ever feel real 'Cause thunder storms could never stop me
'Cause there's no one in the world like Mikey,
There's no one in the world like Mikey."

The last chord faded out and he looked up at me.

"I know that my singing wasn’t all that great and...your name didn’t really fit too well but um...I just wanted you to know how I feel." he stated before setting my guitar on the floor and speaking again. "And I bet your probably thinking, ‘Wait, he’s straight.’ But I’m...well...not, obviously. I’m bi. Well, at least I think I am seeing as you’re the only guy I’ve ever been attracted to. The only person I’ve ever wanted."

He looked at me again, his large hazel eyes widening in alarm as he finally realized that I was crying and succeeding in making him look more like a deer than usual.

"Shit, I told Gerard that this was a bad idea. I’m sorry Mikey. You don’t have to say anything. I can just go back home and we can pretend that this never even hap-"

I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up, Frank!" I snapped loudly and he jumped a little, obviously figuring I was upset.

I sighed at his hurt expression and shook my head slowy with a small smile. Leaning over to him, I whispered in his ear, "You’ve done enough talking." and he raised an eyebrow.

Slowly, carefully, I lay back down on the bed and gestured for him to follow. Comprehension dawned on his face and he quickly crawled over to lay beside me. I rolled my eyes and wrapped my arms around him, pulling his small frame close so that his back was against my chest. He sighed contentedly and snuggled closer.

"So...I guess you like me too, eh?" He asked, and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Yes" I answered, planting a soft kiss on his neck. " I like you too."
