Frerard - Null (Null Trilogy Part 1)

Part 3

"So is everything set?" Frank signed excitedly. He moved his hands too fast, so I put a gentle hand on them to ask him to slow down. He blushed a little and asked again.

"Yes. You asked Bob to meet you, right Ray?" I questioned the fro'd fiend. He nodded.

"And you asked Mikey to meet you?" Frank asked. I smirked and nodded.

It was the night after our day out at the park where we had concocted our heinous plan. Well, it wasn't quite heinous, but that wasn't the point.

"Oh, look!" I pointed across the horizon to where Bob was making his way toward the romantic picnic we'd set up. We'd hidden in the bushes, not too close so they could hear or see us, but not too far away so we could see their mouth movements. Bob eyed the candlelit scene with reproach, but shrugged and sat down anyway.

"This is so awesome. Here comes Mikey," Frank signed. He didn't even know the pair that well, but I could tell he knew this was a big deal with Mikey being my brother and Bob having been my best friend since I was around 4 years old.

Mikey's face seemed to contort with puzzlement as he approached Bob. Ray translated Bob for me, and Frank translated Mikey. I tried to keep my eyes on the scene unfolding before me and on their hand signals.

"Did...did you invite me here?" Mikey asked, confusion still clouding his face.

"No...Ray did," Bob frowned.

"Gerard invited me. This must be for all four of us."

"I don't know, Mikey... This looks like it's for two."

Mikey blushed madly as his gaze searched over the romantic setup. "I think you're right. Is this a joke?"

"Maybe," Bob mused, chewing his lip ring a little more prominently than usual.

"I guess we better wait for them to show up," Mikey shrugged and sat next to him. Bob nodded, and a silence seemed to fall. The sun had set, and the stars were beginning to shine brilliantly. "This is a pretty scene," Mikey admired.

"Not as pretty as something else here, though," Bob blushed.

"Huh? What would that be? The trees? The flowers?"

"Nope..."

"Then what?"

"Well...you," Bob admitted, biting his lip ring nervously. Mikey blushed mad crimson. I high-fived Frank before letting him carry on translating Mikey.

"I...thank you, Bob," Mikey smiled after overcoming his initial shock, leaning across to kiss him on the cheek, lingering there for a moment. The usually hard-faced Bob went bright red, his eyes huge. A minuscule smile appeared on his lips and he turned to face Mikey, kissing him gently. Mikey was shocked yet again, but kissed him back regardless. Frank, Ray and I were practically dancing in the bushes. Well, as much as we could if we wanted to stay undetected. When Bob broke the kiss, he smiled shyly and rested his hand on top of Mikey's.

"Perhaps we should give them some privacy now. It's not really fair to stay now that we've got what we want," Frank signed, getting up. Ray and I followed him away, smiling like idiots.

"I swear all my friends are gay. First Bob came out, then Mikey, then you, Gerard," Ray signed sloppily. It was more of a "swear all my friends gay. First Bob out, Mikey, Gerard", but I was used to his poor signing and I was skilled at working out what he truly meant.

"Wait, Gerard is gay?" Frank signed, surprise on his face. I gave a small nod and blushed. Frank seemed to giggle. "It's no problem. I just expected you to be straight."
