Frank’s P.O.V

I reluctantly followed Damien to the coffee shop coming to the conclusion that he would leave me alone. Even if he do did take his sweet time by ordering coffee and saying that he had to buy me one as well, so I agreed to that and we finally sat down. “Okay, we have coffee and you have my full attention, now tell me everything.”

“Okay, I promised to tell and I will, but I want you to promise me one thing before I start.”

“What?” I asked impatiently, I was done playing his little game.

“You have to hear me out, like the whole story, before you can make any decision or anything else okay Frankie?”

“For the love of ALL THINGS HOLY DAMIEN STOP CALLING ME THAT!”

“Okay, I’m sorry. Can you do that for me Frank?” He restated.

“Yeah, now spill.”

“Okay, so let me start off by saying that I am gay,’ my head snapped up at that statement, but he continued, “and that group of friends that I was with, the ones that you met, they were really accepting of people like me. One day it just came out, I called you cute, and they looked at me and started saying things like ‘Damien you can’t possibly think that faggot is cute’ and ‘Damien are you blind?’ I didn’t know how to react to their questions because I was still shocked that I had let that slip. I decided to play it off like it was nothing and said ‘Yeah he would be cute if the lights were low and you squint your eyes, tilt your head a little and are completely shitfaced along with being on like 6 different drugs.’ They laughed along with me but nothing was ever the same, they began to watch me more closely, which was when I decided that I would go out with that blond girl, so I could get them off my back. It worked for a while until we had “the party of the year,” you know which one I’m talking about right?

He was asking for a response, but I didn’t know what he was talking about because I was such an outcast that I didn’t even hear the words “party.” I nodded ‘no’ and his face seemed to fall, then he proceeded to explain. “Well as you can tell by the name it’s, like the party of the year right, so since we throw it we had been spending a whole lot of time getting supplies and stuff. Everything was going great until it got to choosing the guest list. Everyone was agreeing until we got the the ‘i’s’. Viky started it, she was like ‘why don’t you ask Frank to come to the party?’ I literally spit out my drink and said something along the lines of ‘he’s an ugly loser. Inviting him is social suicide. He’s a big no.’ Apparently this wasn’t enough to throw them off my back. They still didn’t believe me, so that was when Ben came up with the bet.”

“He said that he didn’t believe that I wasn’t gay. I denied it because I wanted to fit in. He didn’t believe me, so he said, ‘okay your probation is over. To officially be one of us, prove that you aren’t gay. You will have to go out with Iero, make him fall in love with you and then you’re gonna break his little faggot heart.’ I agreed because I have never wanted anything so badly in my life. I wanted to be like them and I wanted to keep my sexuality a secret, because it was mine to keep not theirs to know. So I agreed. They had it all planned out, they were gonna ‘kick me out’ so I could befriend you and well you know the rest.” He stayed silent for a while, so did I.

I broke the silence, “Is that all you have to say?”

“No, that was all context. I’m here to plead a case.”

“And that is?”

“At first when we started going out, I felt nothing for you and I was actually starting to fall for my ‘fake’ girlfriend. Then as we kept going I started to like you and the day that I broke your heart, I found out that I really did love you. I know I realized it too late. These past few years I have been thinking it over, trying to find out what it was that made me fall for you and as of late I came to the conclusion that it was the day that you said it to me. Do you remember?’ I stayed silent, ‘It was the day that you drove me into the, seemingly, nowhere and we sat literally in the weeping willow and saw the sun set over all of the smog.’ I felt like I was going to cry, because the whole entire time my mind was chanting over and over again he remembers!, ‘The whole entire city was this vibrant orange and you turned to me, but the sun was hitting you at a perfect angle, the sun seeping into your eyes and I couldn’t help myself, so I kissed you. I kissed you with all I had in me because in the back of my mind I felt that something very bad was going to happen. Very soon.” Now I was officially crying and I couldn’t stop because ‘holy shit he remembers and that is the single most beautiful thing anyone has ever told me’. I finally looked up to see that he was crying as well and it was too much. I needed to leave. Just as soon as I stood up, Gerard and a lanky kid, that looked extremely familiar, walked in and I sat back down. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. I could walk right past Gerard and the kid and have an attack or I could stay here with Damien pouring his heart out at me.

The answer came about 2 minutes later, when Gerard approached the table. “Hey Frankie” he stated simply.

“Hi Gerard” I said with a mad blush.

“Excuse me, who are you?” Damien interjected, distastefully.

“Oh right! Where are my manners? I am Gerard Way, Frank’s play partner and you are?”

“I’m Damien.” He looked between me and Gerard before he made the connection. “This dude, this is the dude? Oh my god! No! Eww no Frank why would you do this to me? “

“Excuse me?” Gerard asked confused.

“Damien, no please. Lets just go okay?” I stood up and walked around Gerard and grabbed Damiens arm ready to pull him away, although he resisted.

“I have a black coffee and a latte ready for-”

“That’s your order Gerard’ I said, ‘Come on Damien” I said quickly and pulled him out of the coffee shop leaving a shell shocked Gerard and an angry Damien trailing behind me.

“Since when do you know ‘friends’ orders Frank?” Damien asked in an angry tone.

“Damien what me and you had was great, but its over now, so I am allowed to memorize anyones order and it is none of your business. Thank you for your explanation, it’s gonna help give me closure but I have to go now. Bye.”
