Gerard's POV.

It was the next morning, and well.. We'd just finished round two.

“You're far too good to me.” Frank whispered as he cuddled into my chest.

I chuckled quietly and pulled him close. “You deserve only the best treatment.” I murmured quietly, looking up at the ceiling.

I wished we could just stay there, in the hotel room, in each others arms. There were no problems when we were like this.

Everything was calm, and just.. Perfect.

“Hey, Gee..”

“Yeah Frankie?” I whispered, my eyes staying on the ceiling.

“I've been thinking about the situation..” He whispered. “About, y'know.. The police looking for you..”

Oh god.

“Yeah?” I frowned, wondering where he was going with this. “What is it you've been thinking..?”

“Well..” He began. “They can't arrest you. They've got no proof of anything..”

I raised an eyebrow and sat up slowly, my eyes flickering down to my boyfriend. “Explain..” I whispered.

Frank smiled faintly and sat up, taking my hand in his, playing with my fingers.

It was always cute when he did that.

“Well they're after you for being with one of your students right?”

“Yeah..” I frowned.

“What proof have they got?” Frank asked with a slight laugh. “I mean.. They've only got hold of this information because of what Zack's mum said.. For all the police know, she could be making that up because she's upset about him dying..”

I thought through what Frank was saying and nodded my head a little. “Okay, but..-”

“No buts!” He frowned. “Think about it Gee! As long as we're not seen together, they have no actual proof that we're dating..”

“Okay but what about Ray?” I asked, thinking through everything that could put a dent in what Frank was saying. Ray really was the only thing I could think of that would do that.

“I'll talk to him.. He'll listen to me.” Frank smiled.

“So you talk to Ray.. We don't get seen together.. There's nothing they can do..” I whispered, my eyes lighting up a little.

I couldn't get into trouble. They couldn't do anything to me without evidence, and I knew it was bad, but Zack was dead.. He was the only other person that could give real evidence.

“Oh my god.” I whispered, before grinning and cupping Frank's cheeks, pressing our lips together. “You're fucking amazing.”

Frankie giggled and kissed me back. “I learnt from the best.” He winked, before kissing me again.

I deepened it a little more before pulling away slowly. “Baba, I'd love round three but we really have to go..” I smirked and sat up, making Frank whine.

“Okay, so.. Where to now?” Frankie asked once we were in my car.

“Home.” I shrugged, starting up the engine.

“Wait, what?” He frowned. “Home? Why home? I thought..-”

“You worked it out Frank.” I smiled, leaning over to kiss his cheek. “Everything's gonna be okay.” I promised, before beginning to drive.

“If you're sure..” He whispered, placing his hand onto my thigh, as he always did when I drove.

It was a couple of hours later that we finally reached Gerard's road, though he stopped at the sight of police cars outside his house.

“Oh fuck.” I breathed.

“Don't worry.” Frank whispered, leaning over to peck my cheek. “I'll go now... I can go to Ray's house, talk to him. You go talk to the police.. You've done nothing wrong. Just deny being with me.” He whispered, kissing me once more before slipping out of the car.

Frank's POV.

“Shit shit shit.” I muttered under my breath as I hurried down the opposite street. I couldn't go down Gerard's street now, there were police everywhere!

I quickly made my way to Ray's house and took a deep breath, knocking on the door. God, I was nervous now.

“Frank.. Uh.. This is a surprise. What is it?” Ray asked once he'd opened the door.

“I need to talk to you.. Can I come in?” I asked, shivering a little. Ugh, it was so fucking cold!

“Sure..” He frowned and lead me up to his room before closing the door and turning to look at me. “So, what is it..? Is this about all the you and Mr Way shit?”

“Eh, yeah.” I laughed slightly and rubbed the back of my neck. “Look Ray we were real good friends, and I just..”

“Yeah, the fucktard ruined that.”

“Don't call him that.” I sighed. “Look I just.. The police are gonna be asking questions.. I really, really need you to say that me and him aren't together..”

“Why should I?” Ray frowned. “He fucked up what we had.”

“Ray we were just fucking about.. Me and Gee.. We're real. I'm in love with him.. You're our only hope.. Please Ray..” I whispered, unable to believe I was basically begging him but, we needed him on our side.

“Fine, okay..”

“Thank-” I began, though stopped.

“One condition.” He continued, smiling to himself. “I'll promise not to say anything to the police.. After you've slept with me.”

“I... What?”
