Okay, sorry I didn't have this up sooner. It's not so much that I haven't had it written or I've been too busy with Vapor Transmission, I just forgot to type it up. Good technique to use, write it out on paper first, always works for me. Anyway, the next chapter. Ooo, will the secret be revealed? No, but Gerard gets all cute and awkward and Bert McCracken shows up. Sorry folks but he's the only member of The Used who will be making an appearance. And thanks for the reviews guys, I was really surprised!

Gerard waited nervously for Carmine to show. He’d called as early as he had dared, which was 8 in the morning. Carmine’s voice sounded rough as he answered with a sleepy ‘hello’. “Hi, er, Carmine, it’s Gerard. Uh, did I wake you up?” Gerard asked as he mentally cursed himself. ‘Stupid stupid stupid! Of course you woke him up!’ “Yeah… Nothing a Red Eye won’t fix. What’s up?” “Er, just wanted to tell you to meet me at the tour buses. There’s a gate there for security and stuff but I’ll meet you there.” “Try to avoid the fan girls. I’d hate for them to mob you while you’re waiting.”
Gerard laughed nervously. “No problem there. Amazingly enough I can take care of myself. When the rest of the band and my friends are around.” Carmine laughed, which made Gerard smile. “I’ll be there around three, does that work?” “Yeah, fine.” Gerard replied hastily. Carmine laughed again and Gerard’s heart fluttered. “You’re so cute. I’ll see you then sweetheart. I’m going back to sleep.” “Sure, later.” “Bye.”
Now it was 3:15 and Gerard wondered where Carmine was. He started to chew on his nails and almost called Carmine’s cell phone when he saw a familiar figure striding towards him. This time Carmine wore a charcoal three piece suit, the jacket having honest to God tails on it, black wing tipped shoes with actual spats, and a black shirt. The cravat looked a bit crooked but the dark silver matched the outfit. He’d even put on a gray bowler derby and carried a walking stick to complete the look.
Gerard smiled and said, “You look like you just stepped out of a Dickens novel.” “Really? Damn I was going for more of an Oscar Wilde feel.” Carmine said, then laughed. Gerard waved away the security guards and handed Carmine a pass on a lanyard. “Here, it’s all access so you can go anywhere, even without me.” “Good, because the last thing I need is you following me into the john.” Carmine smirked and Gerard laughed. “Don’t worry, I wouldn’t do that. C’mon, meet the rest of the band.”
Gerard put an arm around Carmine’s shoulders, and they walked in the direction of the buses. As they idly chatted about their days, Gerard couldn’t help but notice how plump Carmine’s lips were. And how delicate yet strong he seemed. He was tiny, maybe even smaller than Frank. But what Gerard really loved was his eyes. They were large and expressive and the silver eye shadow and black eyeliner he wore accentuated them perfectly.
He snapped out of his reverie when Carmine said, “And when the mother ship comes I’ll take all the information I’ve gathered and destroy your species.” Gerard blinked, then said, “What?” “You totally zoned!” Said Carmine, laughing. Gerard grinned ruefully and said, “Er, sorry.” “S’okay sweetie. Is that your bus?” He asked, pointing to one. “Yeah, that’s it. Come on, the rest of the guys are gonna love you.” Gerard said, grinning again. Carmine smirked and said, “Well gee, nice to know you think so highly of me.”
Gerard shrugged and lead Carmine up onto the bus. Mikey was listening to his iPod while Frank and Ray were having a fierce battle on their X-Box. Matt was no where to be seen. “Ehem!” Gerard cleared his throat, making himself look pompous. Ray and Frank paused their game and looked up while Mikey took his headphones off. “Guys… Er, hey, where the hell is Matt?” “Where do you think?” Asked Ray, then made the international toke pantomime.
“Ah. Gotta talk to him about that. Well guys, this is Carmine Scramasax. He helped me out yesterday.” Gerard said and Carmine smiled. Ray and Frank got up and introduced themselves, shaking hands with him. Mikey came over to Gerard who was brooding in a corner. “What’s up?” “I really wanted Matt to meet Carmine. What’s his deal lately anyway?” “Dunno man, but it’s getting bad. You know he didn’t show up for sound check again today? We had to have Bob fill in.” “What? That’s the fifth time this week! We gotta do something, this is getting ridiculous.” Gerard said.
But he perked up when Carmine came over. “Something wrong?” He asked. “Oh, just stupid shit. Can I get you something to drink?” “Yeah, sure.” Gerard went over to the mini fridge on the bus and pulled out two beers. He handed one to Carmine and they cracked them open simultaneously. “Should we toast?” Carmine asked. “Yeah, um, here’s to new friends.” Said Gerard. Carmine grinned and they clinked their bottles together before taking a swig.
Carmine got along fairly easily with the rest of the band, and it didn’t take long for him to get caught up in an X-Box game with Ray and Frank. Gerard was content to watch, but then Carmine asked for help after Frank and Ray ganged up on him. Gerard instantly grabbed a controller and picked out a fighter, the singers ready to double team the guitarists. Unfortunately neither singer was very good but it was fun regardless. When the game was over, Gerard looked at Carmine. “Can I talk to you?”
Carmine nodded and followed Gerard to the back of the bus. “Uh… Carmine would you, uh… Wouldyougooutwithme?” Gerard stammered. Carmine looked at him, confused. “Huh?” “Er, that is to say, uh, would you go out with me?” Gerard asked. Carmine was silent for a minute and Gerard winced. ‘Crap, he’s not gay!’ He thought. But was surprised when Carmine pulled him closer and gently kissed his lips. “I’d love to go out with you Gerard.” He whispered, then smiled.
Gerard felt his head doing cart wheels as he hugged Carmine to himself. Then, suddenly, the curtain was pulled aside as a voice said, “Hey Gerard, you--” They looked up, it was Bert McCracken. He and Carmine stared at each other in shock. Then they blurted out in unison, “What the hell are YOU doing here?!”
