A/N: Small reminder this is Gerard's perspective! Got a little stuck on Franks!

"How much you wanna bet he's gonna hook up with the kid?" Mikey asked Bob, their longtime family friend since grade school.
"Twenty bucks. How about you? How much you betting Gerard’s gonna---"
"Both.Of.You.Shut.The.Hell.Up." Gerard interrupted, not moving his eyes away from the computer screen in front of him. He was busy catching up on episodes of his favorite show, Doctor Who.
"At least I'm not the one who's got a crush on some punk kid." Mikey muttered loud enough for his brother to hear.
Gerard snapped his head away from the dull screen, eyes glaring at Mikey. "I never said I liked the kid.Shit I know better than that."
"Well I'll just take this as my cue to leave." Bob said getting up from the couch. "Don't wanna get involved."
Mikey scoffed. "The way you talk about him... Gerard it's so fucking obvious."
"Yup I'm totally leaving." Bob said throwing on his coat before exiting the room.
"You're not fooling anyone. I know you better than you know yourself." Mikey continued, crossing his arms starring evenly back at his brother.
"Why didn't you just leave with Bob?" Gerard finally asked after not being able to deny the fact Mikey did in fact know him better than anyone else, even himself.
"Whatever happen to not getting your personal life involved with work huh? And what happened with Lynz? She was pretty hot man."
Gerard sighed as he closed his laptop leaning back on the couch. He rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands as he said "LynZ wasn't the one."
"What do you mean not the one? Don't tell me you fucked up on this one again."
"She didn't like me back okay?" Gerard said moving his hands away from his eyes to look at his brother. "I did all the right fucking things and I thought she liked me back and I ended up making a fool out of myself awkwardly and getting my heart broken with the stupid friend-zone talk. Remind me never to take your advice again."
"Oh." Was all Mikey could say. "Sorry dude."
Gerard slouched down so that he could rest his head properly on the couch to stare up at the ceiling.
"There’s no way that I could like the kid Mikes." Gerard said almost whispering.
"I believe you Gee. I'm just sorry for pestering you like that. I guess I'll leave now too. Call me later okay?"
Gerard nodded as his brother shrugged on his coat and left the apartment leaving him alone. Once the door shut, Gerard said to himself "Bullshit dude. You totally like the kid and you're so fucking stupid for doing so. You know it can never be."

"So I was wondering if you wanted to catch a movie or something?" The young boy bit his lip nervously.
"What?" Gerard hadn't gotten much sleep the night before and he was half listening/half zoning out to Frank babble on about shiny objects. "I'm sorry what did you say?"
Frank shook his head quickly. "Nothing. Just nothing. It was dumb anyways."
"Come on tell me." Gerard insisted.
"I uh asked if you wanted to see a movie or something." The boy’s eyes were fixed on the ground.
"You want to see a movie with me?"
"Yeah.. I mean if you don't mind hanging out with a seventeen year old.."
"It's not that I mind but I'm not exactly suppose to get my personal life mixed up with work and--"
"So I'm just work to you huh." Frank said as he looked up to meet Gerard’s eyes. "You probably don't even care about me then right?"
God this wasn't supposed to be happening. "No I do Frank but what would your parents or my boss say if they knew we were hanging out or whatever? I'd lose my job and possibly go to jail."
Frank stood up shoving his hands in to his pockets. "Then we could do it secretly. I could go to your place, I have tons of movies and comics and---"
Gerard quickly got up too. "No you're not understanding me Frank. I can't. I know where this is leading. I'm ten years older than you. Jesus Christ I could get arrested."
"I'm almost eighteen Gerard."
"I know that but--"
"But nothing." Frank said stepping dangerously close to Gerard.
"This is wrong."
"You know you want me too so stop denying it." The boy said lowly.
"I.. don't."
"You what?" Frank asked stepping back in confusion.
"I think you should go now."
"But the sessions not over yet. Is it?"
"That doesn't matter. Just go."
"You don't mean that. I know you like me too, I know--"
"No Frank you don't fucking know anything SO LEAVE." Gerard practically yelled. Frank stood there dumbly starring before storming out the room slamming the door with so much force. Gerard almost winced.

The thing was Lynz never friend-zoned him. He was the one who told her it just wasn't going to work out. Of course he failed to mention the part about becoming infatuated with his pretty damn vulnerable seventeen year old patient.
"You did the right thing.” Gerard said to himself as he held his face in his trembling hands. His breath quickened and he felt a hitch form in his throat. “Do not fucking cry.” He took deep breaths to calm himself down before grabbing his suitcase and coat. He'd call the rest of the day off.
