I'll Keep You Safe Tonight

"Come on Frankie!" Gerard says as I put my stuff away in my locker, "We're supposed to meet Mikey and Ray for lunch."
"I know Gee," I say pecking him on the cheek, "I was there."
Gerard laughs, “Oh yeah.”
Gerard grabs my hand and we walk towards the lunchroom and sit down across from Mikey and Ray.
“Hey guys.” I say smiling, “What’s up?”
“Nothing much,” Ray says nuzzling Mikey’s shoulder affectionately, but I don’t know something about Mikey seems off and Gerard notices it too.
“You okay Mikey?” Gerard asks sounding concerned.
Mikey shakes his head as if to clear it, “I’ll tell you about it later Gerard.”
“Okay…” Gerard says.
If you couldn’t already tell we’re back to school after winter break and have been back for about a week now and things have been going really good for me, no one’s bullied me yet! Also Gerard and I have been really close honestly I couldn’t have had a better mate for me. Speaking of my mate I think he just asked me a question.
“Frank the bell rang, you coming?” I hear Gerard ask.
“Oh yeah sorry I zoned out.”
“It’s okay.” he says hugging me.
He kisses me on the cheek before heading to his class and I head to mine, this is the only period that me and Gerard aren’t in class together. It honestly really sucks because I don’t get to cuddle with my mate and because the everyone who bullies me is in this class.
I walk into the classroom really quickly and take my normal seat at the back and plop down my stuff, there are a few other kids already milling about the class and talking to their friends but not anyone that I know so I just stay quiet and wait for the teacher.
“Hey faggot.” says Bert as he sits down in the desk beside me, “Have fun fucking yourself on winter break because your boyfriend doesn’t love you.”
‘Mate’. I think but stay quiet I’ve learned talking back just makes it worse.
“How’s our favorite little bitch?” Oh great Jared too, fuck.
I curl up on myself some as they continue to fling insults at me until the teacher comes in and tells everyone to be quiet. That only stops the insults for a while because whenever the teacher turns her back I’m either getting punched or having something bad said about me by the two of them. When the bell finally rings for the end of class I run out of the classroom only to be slammed into some lockers in an empty hallway.
“We’re not done with you yet bitch.” Jared says smirking.
I whimper as he pins me to the lockers, “No one here to protect you now!” Bert says and then punches me in the gut over and over. I hang my head as the beating continues, I’m gonna fucking puke if he punches me in the stomach again, well obviously he’s not just punching me in my stomach but it’s been hit too many times to count.
“Hey Iero do you even have a pair?” I look up a little at this frightened, “Let’s see!”
Bert slams his knee as hard as he can into my groin and I would’ve fallen to the floor had it not been for Jared, of course that didn’t stop me from puking.
“Gross the fucker puked on me!” Jared let’s go and I fall to the ground and land partially on the tile partially in puke. I see Jared start to walk away.
“No,” Bert says, “I’m not done with him yet.”
“Yes you are.” I hear a voice say and I look up as best as I can, oh thank the fucking lord, Gerard.
“You know,” Gerard says, “You really shouldn’t beat up a dom’s mate, I mean we will literally die to protect them, but here you are.” He continues and I’m even a little scared of him.
“Now you can walk away now and never ever touch or talk to my mate again or I can beat you into oblivion.”
I see Bert size up Gerard and Jared is already walking away like a dog with a it’s tail between it’s legs.
“You know,” Bert says, “I don’t think you can even beat me up.”
Gerard narrows his eyes and growls, “Well we’ll see then.”
Gerard attacks first punching Bert in the face and I hear Bert’s nose break, Gerard is in control the whole fight, he uses Bert’s anger against him and seems to know exactly where Bert is going to try and punch or kick. Within three minutes Bert is on the ground a bloody mess, crying and whimpering.
Gerard spits on him, “Never ever underestimate me or touch Frank again.” he then walks over to me picking me up, and I sob a little bit into his chest at the pain.
“Shh Frankie, you’ll be okay, I’m taking you home.”
I nod and then it dawns on me I’m still covered in puke Gerard seems to read what I’m thinking, “Yeah I know I’ll give you a nice warm shower when we get home okay just relax.”
I get carried to the car and once Gerard is sure I’m strapped in and not in any pain from that we drive to the house. After a nice warm shower, which was a little awkward because Gerard had to help me seeing as I was having trouble standing up straight, I’m put to bed and am about to fall asleep because Gee is stroking my hair and it feels amazing when he talks.
“Frankie…” he says.
“Yeah Gee?” I say sounding tired and worried at the same time if that’s possible.
“We need to talk when you get up.”
