Frank's POV

~~~

I sat on the couch with Fallyn dragging on my arm like a mad woman, trying to get me to go outside with her.

I fully intended to I just wanted to see how long she'd be willing to try for, she's always been really determined so this could go on for a while. After about a minute of it I felt bad and stood up, almost causing her to fall over from how hard she'd been pulling.

With a grin I threw her, her beanie and she pulled it on her head smiling at me and telling Gerard who was occupied by the tv that we'd be going outside.

Peanut followed us off the bus and instantly started bouncing around in the snow which was pretty much the same thing Fallyn did.
To be perfectly honest I've never really liked snow but seeing Fallyn's face light up when she was around it made me somehow like it as well.

With the memory of making things out of snow when I was a kid I started slowly putting a snowman together and Fallyn joined me.
There was a smile on her face the whole time and once we'd finished it got wider when she stepped back to admire our work.

It was short lived though because seconds later the arm fell of, causing her to laugh while I made a sad attempt to reattach it. I quickly gave up and just drew an unhappy face on the snowman's head.

"Now it looks like, Gerard." I joked and got a giggle out her, she knew just as well as I did how grouchy he'd been lately.

He has some problems with thinking he got the final say in everything, I don't know why he's become like that and I wish I knew. Gerard has usually been an happy person who'd been willing to listen to anyone's opinions.

Now he couldn't give a fuck with what I had to say, especially when it came to Fallyn but to be honest I stopped listening to what he thought a while ago.
For some reason he thought I didn't care about her and was just taking advantage. I've never heard anything further from the truth in my whole life.

I threw myself off a bridge to save her, before I even got to know her and he thought I didn't care about her?!

This is proof that Gerard needs to be around more humans more often because for him to be blind to seeing that I cared for her was ridiculous.

I've been talking to Bob and Mikey a lot lately and even they realised that I really cared for her. They didn't explain it to Gerard though and kept their mouths shut and their thoughts hidden.
It's like everyone's afraid to face the wrath of Gerard, dictator of the bus, well everyone except for Fallyn who had more than once told him to put a sock in it when he started bitching.

Actually I've started telling him to shut it as well because there is only so much complaining you can take before you go crazy. Fallyn's lucky too, she only has to hear the words he speaks, I on the other hand am half in his mind all the time.

Speaking of thoughts, Fallyn's were loud and clear as she watched Peanut jump around in the snow.

She was thinking about what would happen after she came back to New Jersey with us.
She'd been wondering what it'd be like to meet our family and friends, I knew for a fact that Gerard and Mikey's family would just love her but she was worried that they'd think she was a leech.

I don't know what would make Fallyn think that she was a leech and I wouldn't want to be around any kind of person that would call her one.

Fallyn was a friend to everyone and was staying on the bus with us, she wasn't whiny, demanding or bossy and she was practically a member of the band.
She deserved to be on the bus as much as any of us did and was a much more pleasurable person to be around than Gerard and heaps better to look at.

Peanut and another fox started running around in the snow and I noticed that Fallyn was frowning while she watched them, she looked unhappy but there was still a smile on her face.
The foxes frolicked off into the distance and the second they were far away enough to be a speck Fallyn bit her lip and looked like she was going to start crying.

Because I hated seeing her upset I walked over and put an arm around her shoulder in a crappy attempt to make her feel better. When that didn't work I simply hugged her and she rested her head against my chest.

I could smell the perfume of her hair and despite her being sad right now I felt kinda happy to be able to comfort her.

We both watched as the specks grew even tinier then eventually disappeared.
She sighed sadly with her head still against my chest and I let go of her long enough to scoop up some snow and form it into a ball when an idea popped into my head.

I grinned at her, holding out the snowball and she hesitantly took it from me.
In the past when I've been in a bad mood and it was snowy I'd just make a couple of snowballs then throw them at the guys.

"Go throw one at, Gerard. It'll make you feel better, you can actually throw it at any of the guys and you'll feel better, it works for me." I added another grin for the hell of it and she stared at the snowball with the air turning into frozen puffs as it escaped her lips.

More often than not when I hit one of the guys with a snowball while they were chilling in the bus they'd get really angry at me but I knew she'd get away with it easily.

"I already know who I'm gonna throw it at..." She mumbled with a smile on her face, at the same time all the thoughts that'd been passing through her head disappeared.
Her smile got even wider and she looked up at me, her perfect sea green eyes gleaming.

"Frankie!" She yelled loudly before lunging forward and smashing the snowball onto my head, causing the snow to fall all over me.

Despite having a high tolerance to the cold I could still feel the chilliness of the snow as it melted on my head.

"Oh, you're gonna pay." I laughed and her eyes got wide for a moment before she squealed and made a pathetic attempt to run back to the bus.
I wrapped my fingers around her wrist and with a gentle pull she went tumbling into the snow.

One more fast movement and she was pinned down underneath me, laughing her head off.
Her heart was beating loudly with her face going red and I pulled her grey beanie off.
Her hair was fanned out on either side of her, the blonde and black contrasting against the very white snow making her look like some kind of winter angel.

It was absolutely beautiful...still didn't stop me from getting revenge though.
I filled her hat with snow and put it back on her head, making her squeal when she got a taste of the presumably freezing cold snow.

"Frankie you jerk, let me up I'm cold!" She giggled and tugged her arms that I'd made very sure she couldn't move no matter how hard she tried.

I leant closer to her and her heartbeat got even louder and much faster then her cheeks got redder.

"Only if you say sorry." I told her because there was no way I'm letting her up without an apology, plus I also like seeing her lay there in the snow.
She stared at me, her eyes fixated on me before they narrowed, making her seem catlike.

"Haha, I never surrender." She laughed half-heartedly and I gave her an evil grin when another idea popped into my head.

"Your face is looking very flushed, are you feeling too hot? It'd really suck if you were suddenly go from hot to freezing wouldn't it?" I asked, raising and eyebrow and scooping up some snow from around us, moulding it into a big ball while she gave me a horrified expression.

Oh you evil bastard.
Her thoughts said and I chuckled as she sighed then chewed on her lip ring for a moment, looking adorable.

"I'm sorry." She muttered quietly and if I wasn't a vampire I wouldn't have been able to hear it.
I grinned and continued adding snow to the already huge snowball I was holding.

I wanted a proper apology and what she gave me wasn't even close to good enough.
The snowball was easily big enough to cover her whole head with snow if I were to drop it on her, which I wouldn't but she didn't know that.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you." I said, moving my face closer to hers and she squirmed slightly underneath me.

She obviously wasn't enjoying having to apologise but I was truly enjoying this moment for two reasons. I got to see the blush on her cheeks and the pounding of her heart simply by teasing her. I could feel some strange form of electricity that crackled between us the closer I put my face to hers.

Besides I was having fun with this and could easily and happily drag it out all day but I knew she couldn't stand the cold for that long. She was small, fragile, human and susceptible to winter even though I wasn't.
A small giggle escaped then the she took a deep breath like she was annoyed before letting it go and causing more frozen air to leave her pink lips.

Fallyn pursed her lips for a moment then squirmed again, testing to see if I'd moved enough for her to get her arms back.
I hadn't and definitely won't.

Her eyes became shifty for a moment, trying to look anywhere but at me as if it would get her out of apologising. After a moment her eyes came back to mine and she closed her eyes for a moment with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Her snow white face flushed red once more, her cheeks turning a rosy shade before her green eyes opened again and stared at me.
She's perfect, there's not a flaw on her.

"I said I'm sor-"

I don't know what made me do it, wait yes I do, the part of me that's been wanting to do it since the moment I saw her standing on the railing of the bridge.

My mouth was against hers, cutting off the apology, I'd rather have a kiss anyway.
Her body suddenly stopped wriggling underneath me and I realised that maybe she didn't want me to kiss her and I'd just misread everything I ever thought was a sign from her.

But then the hottest thing in my whole life happened, her mouth responded and her lips moved
slowly against mine.
The warmth for her lips was transferred to mine, heating me up from the inside out when I was so used to feeling frozen.

Every part of me had been frozen before her, I'd been empty and the only time I felt anything was when I had my guitar and was onstage.
Not anymore, she really made me feel.

Her heart was beating a million miles an hour, making up for mine that would never beat again and the snowball I'd been making was now discarded next to us.
Her lips are so perfect, it's like every other girl I've ever kissed was simply a waste of time and I was only waiting for her, I just didn't know it yet.

Heck it wasn't only the ones I've kissed it's any girl I've been interested in.
Underneath me Fallyn tried moving her arms again and I reluctantly removed my mouth from hers and inched back.

"You look absolutely adorable." I said with a smile growing on my face from the happiness inside me that was leaking out.

Now being able to move them Fallyn's hands flew to her mouth and she started giggling loudly, her eyes gleaming.

As far as I'm concerned Gerard can officially go fuck himself, if Fallyn will have me I'll happily never leave her side again.

While she was still laughing I grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head, she stuck her tongue out at me and I laughed before kissing her again. I've been wanting to do this for so long and I wasn't going to miss the opportunity.
I felt her smile against my mouth and I smiled back.

Warmth radiated from her body and lingered between us, making me forget we were in the snow, personally I didn't care if we were out here or on the bus.
My tongue met hers and I felt her shrink back, immediately thoughts telling me I screwed up ran through my head.

Before I got the chance to move away and start apologising she kissed me harder and I felt like I needed to pinch myself to check if this was real.

I needed to know this was real, I'd imagined this so many times that it might have just been my head creating hallucinations.
I needed to see her eyes, the one thing that grounded me.

"Fal's, open your eyes. I want to really see you." I told her, moving my head away and getting the pleasure of seeing her lay there with her eyes shut before she opened them.

Her sea green eyes fluttered open, appearing slightly glazed for a second before focusing on me, once they did she gave me a bright smile. Her lips were glistening and pouty from kissing, making her impossibly beautiful so fuckin' sexy it took everything in me to contain my desire have her completely.

But it wasn't her beauty that made me care for her, it was everything.
The panic attack she had when we were on the Ferris wheel, the hilariously hyper state she was in from Skittles and how she kissed me on the cheek.
The intense anger that flashed in her eyes when I stopped her from jumping off the bridge.
The unique fragrance of her skin that was even more intense with her pale neck completely uncovered.

How adorable she looked when she blushed and the habit she didn't realise she had of frowning when she tried to remember something.
I love this girl, I want to spend the rest of eternity with her.
I need to.

She made me feel like my heart could beat again and even if it didn't hers would beat for me.
The way she looked at me made me think she felt the same.
Getting trapped in her eyes caused me to let go of her wrists and her arms were quickly wrapped around my neck.

Despite her fragile appearance she easily pulled me closer and this time she was the one who brought out lips together.
Her breathing got quicker and I moved my hand down to her waist, making her growl which put a smirk on my face.

My teeth ached and my throat burned the harder and more intensely we kissed and I badly wanted to let my fangs down but I was afraid I'd accidentally cut her.
I never wanted to hurt Fal's, I'd rather be truly dead.

She ran her fingers through my hair and I took that as my moment to growl, I felt her heart start to beat harder and faster with our bodies close together.
I traced her smooth bottom lip with my tongue and underneath me I felt her whole body shudder in response.

It was easy for me to hear her blood racing and my brain went fuzzy for a moment, she had no idea the power of the effect she had on me.

Somewhere snow crunched under someone's foot and I ignored it, whoever it was could just go away. It didn't matter who it was, Ray, Mikey, Bob, Gerard, it could be a fucking grizzly and it wouldn't matter.

"A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell as rice grains and roses fall at your feet. We've said goodbye the hundredth time and then tomorrow we'll do it again."

Well it was comparable to that of a grizzly.
As far as I'm concerned the only way Gerard can make me move away from Fallyn now is if he physically drags me away. Her breath was warm against my mouth and I heard the footsteps pause and here comes his bloody yelling.

"Frankie! What the fuck do you think you're doing to my sister?!"

Okay those words were the grizzly, that's taking being a drama queen too far.
I reluctantly separated myself from her for a moment, only long enough for me to give a brief response.

"Gerard, what the fuck are you on about?"
