"Hey Jade. Whose wardrobe did you raid?" Mikey asked when I sat down on the sofa.

"Frank's wardrobe. I slept in his bed last night." I answered as I looked down at my outfit choices of Frank's shirt, my jeans with Frank's boxers poking out from the top of my jeans. Mikey raised an eyebrow at me.

"I'm 16. It would be wrong to sleep with him." I said. Mikey nodded and I rested my head on his shoulder. Gerard with Bandit on his hip ran down the stairs. Bandit was giggling into his side.

"Is this normally the case?" I asked.

"Yes. It can get worse." Mikey answered.

"Hey bro, can you fix up some breakfast? Lyn-Z has her visitor currently so she's in bed with a migraine." Gerard asked.

"And it's got worse." Mikey sighed.

"Can't Frank or Ray do it? They're better at cooking." Mikey complained. At exactly that moment both of them walked down the stairs rubbing their eyes. Gerard sighed.

"Can someone make breakfast? Lyn-Z has a migraine." Gerard asked them.

"Once I've had a coffee." Ray answered. Gerard put down Bandit who immediately ran over to Frank with her arms wide open.

"I can cook. Gerard doesn't know that yet." Mikey whispered in my ear. Mikey looked down at my bare arm.

"What's that?" Mikey asked quietly as he pointed to my wrist.

"It's nothing. You don't need to worry." I answered. I covered my wrist with my pother hand.

"I do need to worry. They look fresh." Mikey replied.

"It's nothing Mikey. I promise." I said stubbornly. I curled into Mikey's chest and he protectively wrapped his arm around me. Bandit ran over and jumped on the sofa right next to me. I sat up and looked at her. She started giggling again.

"Are you ticklish B?" I asked.

"No." She giggled in reply. Mikey tilted his head and looked at her.

"We know that's a lie Lady B. You almost wet yourself the other day when Frankie went near your feet." Mikey said. Bandit started giggling harder.

"Frankie?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"It's the only appropriate nickname for her." Gerard answered with a smile from the other side of the room.

"And Lady B is very ticklish." Ray said. Frank stayed quiet as he was bent over a counter nursing a coffee. I raised my eyebrow at Bandit.

"Please don't tickle me Jade." Bandit begged through her giggles with her eyes wide. I got closer to her and started tickling her. Bandit squirmed with laughter.

"Please stop." Bandit laughed.

"Do you give in?" I asked. Bandit nodded and I stopped tickling her.

"Breakfast is ready." Ray said. Ray had multiple plates of pancakes on the worktop.

"I'm not hungry. I don't eat breakfast." I said as everyone went to the table.

"You eat breakfast here. No excuses." Gerard said.

"I'm not hungry and I'm not eating breakfast." I replied stubbornly. Gerard sighed.

"One pancake. That's all I'm asking." Gerard compromised. I nodded and sat down between Frank and Gerard. Ray put a plate with one pancake on it in front of me. I sighed and hesitantly began eating.
