'I Can't Smile Without You' - Mikey Way x Reader

Chapter 1

"Our first song we're gonna play is called 'In Your Room'."

There was a small silence before Sam played the first few notes. I leaned in towards the mic dramatically. When I preformed, I treated the mic like it was the center of my world.

"Sneaking out late at night, 'cause my parents are just so uptight..." I sang, caressing the microphone, "I climb in through your window, so that no one else will know..."

We kept playing until a part where things got a bit... MCR. I mean, there was a moaning part because we all love those, right? The crowd went completely silent right before that part came.

"-And he snakes his arms around me, for nobody to see..." I sang, then I had to moan, "Mm- ah~" I moaned. It was awkward because the guys were right backstage, and the whole crowd was silent so they could hear.

We finished the first song and played a few more before it was time for the guys to take the stage.

I sighed, I was sweaty and so ready to shower but I wanted to watch the guys, too. I stood backstage and peaked out at them. The first song they played was 'Na Na Na.' I knew all the lyrics and I quietly sang along. 

Frank got a bit crazy while he played, swinging his guitar around, nearly whacking poor Mikey in the head. He ducked in time, though. Next was 'Bulletproof Heart', another one that I knew. They  went through a few more songs, their last song being 'Destroya'.

I was absolutely dying inside as Frank and Gee moaned, I now know how they felt during my first song... After the show was over, we signed Tee shirts and stuff for fans.

"Excuse, could I have a picture with you and Mikey?" Some girl asked me. I wasn't really sure what the connection was, but we both agreed anyway.

I faked a smile for the picture, watching as Mikey did the same. These things made me happy, but they just couldn't make me crack a real smile. We finished up soon and just sort of hung out for a bit.

"We should go get some coffee." Gerard said, skipping ahead of us.

"That sounds like a plan." I said, skipping ahead of him, as a form of challenge.

"Skip race!" Frank yelled, skipping past all of us.

We skipped to starbucks, somehow Ray won.

"I win!" He shouted, claiming his victory.

"No fair! My legs are too short!" Frank pouted, crossing his arms.

"I'm shorter than you and did better!" Sam said, laughing.

We ordered our coffee and sat down, talking about ourselves and our performance.

"You guys really were amazing." I said, sipping my coffee.

"You weren't bad yourself." Mikey said, tapping his fingers on the table.

Time skip to a few hours later

We had been drinking a bit, but none of us were drunk. Char, Sam, Frank and Ray were playing Uno. Mikey, Gee, and I were talking about funny things we did as kids.

"Y'know, the first time Charlotte got drunk was hilarious. She was fifteen, was going through her first breakup." I started, sipping some beer. "She found her mom's Sangria, drank half the damn bottle in, like, seven minutes. She came to school drunk as fuck, but the teachers didn't even notice! She told the gym teacher to kiss her 'not-so-white ass'. I fuckin' died."

Gerard cracked up, Mikey even started to smile but didn't. Gerard then stopped laughing and looked at me, noticing I wasn't even smiling.

"How come you never smile?" He asked, looking at me.

"I... I just have really bad depression and I guess I'm also afraid of smiling at the wrong times." I said, not knowing exactly how to answer. "Why don't you ever smile, Mikes?" I asked, using the nickname Gerard called him yesterday.

We talked for a bit more, drinking the whole time. eventually we were all drunk as shit, playing Uno in the floor.

Time skip brought to you by Mikey's hot jawline

I woke up with a pounding headache, Uno cards all over the floor. Mikey was actually in a bed. I think he was the only one sober enough to know to do so. Apparently we played strip Uno (which I wasn't even't aware existed until now), because Char and Sam weren't wearing bras or pants and Frank was in his boxers. Ray was shirtless. Somehow, Gerard kept his clothes... Which is surprising because I distinctly remember that he sucked ass.

Frank sat up, mumbling something about pop tarts before realizing he was almost naked. He looked at me and his jaw dropped. I then realized my shirt was gone.

"H-holy shit-" I yelped, trying to find my shirt.

This woke up Mikey and Ray, who both looked at me first, of all people. I grunted in discomfort as I finally found my shirt.

Once we were all awake and dressed, we ate some pop tarts for breakfast (I thanked Frank for the idea).

"Do you guys ever actually put your pop tarts in the toaster?" Sam asked, putting hers in the toaster.

"Hell yeah!" Char yelled.

"Is it even a pop tart if you don't?" Ray asked.

"I can't say that I have." Mikey said, cutely biting his untoasted pop tart. Wait, cutely? You just met the dude, Y/n!

We finished our pop tart breakfast and started getting ready. We didn't have a show today, we just felt like getting out of the house. I put on a gray tank top and a red flannel skirt. I put on a pair of black heels and sat on the couch, waiting on the guys to finish.

Ray was sat next to me because he wasn't spending five years on eyeliner. The only reason I finished first today was because I didn't shower since my hair wasn't too oily and I showered the night before.

Mikey joined us first, looking at me.

"Y-you look good- I, uh... I mean-" He started, stuttering like hell.

"Thanks, you look pretty good, too." I said, standing up and poking his nose as I walked past him into the bedroom.

"What the fuck is taking so long?" I grumbled, peeking into the room, but no one heard me. I saw Frank showing Char how he does his eyeliner, while Gerard was telling Sam how he was better with makeup than Frank.

"Actually, I think I'm better with makeup than any of y'all." I butted in, striking a pose in the doorway.

"The fuck you say?!" Gerard practically yelled, looking at me.

"I'll prove it!" I said, getting out some pics of me from our second album. I was wearing F/c eye shadow and darker F/c lipstick and I looked hot as fuck with it.

Mikey and Ray walked in.

"What's taking so loooong?" Ray asked.

"Yeah, you guys have been in here thirty fucking minutes." Mikey said, leaning over my shoulder to see the pictures.

"This is you?" I shivered from his breath near my ear. "You look... good in that color.."

I saw Gee smirk at him for a split second.

"Well, I might wear it more often." I said. "Let's go now."

"Go where, exactly?" Sam asked. 

I sat and thought for a moment, and then I looked up.

"Laundromat?" I suggested.

"What.. Why? The bus has a washer and dryer..." Gee said, before he eventually caught on.

Frank was shifting excitedly. He already knew.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I got the laundromat idea from a laundromat in the town I used to live in. I will tell more later but I don't wanna spoil next chapter.
