I woke up the next morning still thinking about last night. As I put on my white jeans, Black Sabbath t-shirt, and black and grey striped jacket, I wondered if it would be weird to ask him out again tonight. I decided it would be and tied my shoes. "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door no. Its much better to face-" I was cut off by one of my many dogs running into my room and knocking me onto the floor. "DAMMIT PEPPERS" I exclaimed as I stood back up. I walked out of my bedroom to find that one of my other dogs, Winston, had peed on the ground. He had not finished.

I slammed the door as I walked into the hallway. When I got outside I walked over to Starbucks.
"Can I-" I started
"...Please have an iced mocha. Coming right up, Frank." Said the cashier, Jamia. I may or may not have an enormous crush on her, but that isn't the point. Not that she is any more attractive than Gerard, who I had only known for a day but felt like we were really close.
As I sat down with my drink, I pulled out my laptop and decided to look up youtube videos. I really liked the music video for Tonight, Tonight. As I was packing up my stuff to leave, I caught a glimpse of someone walking towards me. I turned around and it was Gerard.
"Hey!" I yelled. I was so excited to see him, people started staring.
"Hi, Frank! What are you doing here?" he asked. I didn't respond at first because I was mesmerized by his beautiful lips.
"Frank," He repeated.
"Nothing, what about you?" I asked.
"Oh I come here pretty much every day for work. I do comics for a living, so I like to do it here on the laptop." he replied with a smile.
"Cool!" I said.
there was ANOTHER silence.

"Well, I'll see you some other time!" i said.
Gerard looked slightly hurt. "Okay, call me when you can hang!" He said, straightening up. As I left the coffee shop I realized how much I wanted to just be with him.
I barged through the door again and marched over to the corner table where he was now sitting. He stood up and I took him by the waist and pulled him in. I grabbed the back of his head with my right hand and pulled my mouth to his. Pretty soon it turned into a full-on makeout session. Some guy ran up and yelled at us to break it up.
"Stop doing that, that disgusting thing. There are kids here and they don't need to see two fags knocking teeth." The man angrily yelled.
Everyone in the shop stared. I saw Gerard turn around. "What did you just call us?"
"Fucking faggots." The man replied.
Gerard threw the first punch. He caught the man right in the teeth. It got insane and I had to pull Gerard away from the man.
We went back to my place and started talking about him. "Just forget about him. Another homophobe." I said. I hope I didn't let on that I was hurt by what he had called us, but I was. A lot.
"I know," Gerard replied, looking up. He caught my eye, and just like that we were making out again.
