Fifty Shades of Way

****Two days later****

***Ivy's POV***

I stared at myself in the mirror, admiring the outfit I had picked out to wear to lunch with Frank. It's been almost three years since I've last seen him, and my heart is pounding with excitement.

I felt two arms wrap around my waist, and light breathing on my neck.

"What are you all dressed up for?" Gerard spoke into my neck.

"I'm not all 'dressed up'." I sighed, turning around so that I was facing him. I wrapped my arms around his torso, and leaned my head on his warm chest.

"Oh, you know what I mean. You look beautiful." he smiled.

"Thank you, Gee. And I'm going out to lunch with a friend of mine."

"Oh, well.. Have I met them?"

"No, I haven't seen him in about three years." I sighed.

"Oh, it's a 'him'?" he raised an eyebrow. I groaned and nodded my head.

"Yes, and I've had the biggest crush on him for the longest time. I swear he's the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on." I smirked. His face grew red, and I let out a high pitched giggle. "I'm kidding you idiot. He's just a friend. Practically my brother."

"Don't joke with me like that, Ivy. I swear I almost flipped my shit." he sighed.

"It's fine, baby. And please, don't get all jealous on me, okay? He's just a childhood friend of mine."

"Okay.." He sighed. "Does he have a criminal record?"

"Gee!"

"I'm serious!"

"Yes, Gerard, he's a mass murderer, and just escaped from jail yesterday. Now I gotta hurry before the cops catch him, and throw him back in the slammer." I played, making my way down the stairs.

"Stop it, Ivy. Just be careful, okay?"

"Don't worry, mom, I'll be fine." I joked. He rolled his eyes, and placed his hands on my waist, and his forehead on mine.

"I love you." he muttered.

"And I love you. I'll see you in a bit, okay?"

"Have fun."

"I will. You want me to bring you back anything? The restaurant we're going to has awesome pizza."

"Sure, just bring back whatever left overs you have."

"Gotcha." I gave him a wink, and headed to my car.

********

I entered the restaurant, and immediately noticed my lifelong best friend sitting at one of the tables, scrolling through his phone. My heart started pounding with excitement as I made my way over to the booth.

"Do you happen to know if there's a Frank Iero here by any chance?" I smirked, hovering over Frank, who hadn't realized my presence yet. He looked up from his phone, and a huge smile swept over his face as he got up to embrace me in one of his bone crushing hugs.

"Ah, it's been too long!" he said into my hair.

"Well, you're the one that decided to move so far away." I laughed. "But it's great to see you, Frank."

"It's great to see you too, Poison Ivy." he smiled. I sat down on the chair across from him, and ordered myself a vanilla milkshake. "So I see you dyed your hair. I like it. It's very you."

"Why thank you, Frankie. I quite like it myself, actually, but I was thinking of dying it in about a month."

"Well, whatever you do, don't go back to blue. We both remember how that went." he laughed. When I was in the eighth grade, I thought it'd be a good idea to dye my hair a dark blue. Long story short, I used a cheap, shitty, dye, which ended up rubbing off all over my body, and I basically looked like the walking dead. Not exactly the results I wanted.

"I was thinking more like red. I dunno, what do you think?" he squinted his eyes, and stared at me, analyzing my face.

"Red could look good." he nodded. "Yeah, go with red. It'll look cute."

"Red it is then." I smiled, and took a ship of my milkshake.

"So, Ivy.." he smirked, with a grin on his face. "Tell me about this boyfriend of yours." I sighed, and smiled to myself, looking down at my feet. "Oh, you're blushing! V, you have to tell me everything." he smiled,

"Well, his name is Gerard." I trailed off. "And he's very handsome." I smiled

"Is he good to you? I mean when you called asking to move in with me, you sounded pretty heartbroken."

"No, that was just- we just got into a fight, that's all. But really, Frank, he's amazing. I mean, he's just such a loving, and caring person, I really couldn't ask for anyone better to fall in love with." I giggled, smiling like an idiot.

"Have you guys, you know, done it?" he winked, wiggling his eyebrows. I playfully hit his arm, and smirked to myself. "I think I'll take that as a yes." he grinned, making me blush. Typical Frank.

We got the check and began making our way back to our cars.

"Hey, Frank, why don't you come over to my place and we can have coffee or something?" I asked, not wanting our bonding time to end.

"Uh, sure, yeah sounds great." he smiled. I gave him the directions to the house, and he followed in his car behind me.

**

I unlocked the door, and led Frank into the house.

"So, yeah. This is my house. Well Gerard's house, actually, but I moved in with him a couple months ago." I spoke as we made our way into the dining room where Gerard was sitting, sketching something in his notebook.

"Hi." Frank said, grabbing Gerard's attention. "I'm Frank. You must be Gerard." he smiled, extending his hand.

"Yeah, I am." Gerard muttered, keeping his eyes locked with Frank's, giving him a stern look.

"Nice." Frank muttered. "You know, Poison Ivy and I go way back." he stated, placing a loose arm around my shoulder.

"Poison Ivy?" Gerard questioned with a slight scowl.

"Yeah, it's my nickname for her. You gotta admit, it's pretty clever."

"Sure." Gerard muttered, finally releasing his piercing eyes from Frank's, and putting his concentration back into his sketch.

The three of us stood in silence as tension filled the air.

"Gee, baby, would you like some coffee?" I asked, finally ending the uncomfortable silence that surrounded us. He nodded, and I made my way to the kitchen to make our drinks, with Frank following behind me.

"Well he's a sweetheart." Frank smirked sarcastically.

"He's just the jealous type, that's all." I sighed.

"I get it. I mean if my girlfriend brought over some dude I've never met, I'm sure I'd act the same. No big deal." I smiled, and finished up the coffees, bringing them back into the dining room.

Frank and I sat, and made small talk, while Gerard sketched, every once and a while giving
Frank a slight glare. Every time I caught him glaring, I'd discreetly kick him under the table, followed by a stern look. Eventually I guess he got tired of me kicking him, because finally stopped, putting his full attention into his art.

"Well, V, I had an awesome time, and it was incredible seeing you again." Frank spoke as he engulfed me into a hug. Unfortunately his flight back to California was in less then two hours so it was time to say our goodbyes.

"I had an amazing time too, bud. Have a safe trip home, okay?" I said into his shoulder.

"Will do." he smiled. "And Gerard, it was nice meeting you, man. Take care of Ivy for me, will you?" he said as he made his way to the door. Gerard nodded, and gave a slight wave.

I hugged Frankie one last time before letting him go before he missed his flight.
