"Hey Gee, you okay?"
Gerard's eyelids fluttered and opened slowly, like butterflies wings.
"Fraank?" He groaned drowsily
"No, it's me Mikey, how are you feeling?"
"Um..." He rubbed his eyes "shit."
Silence fell over the hospital ward for a while, faint beeps were the only sounds, Mikey spoke finally, rubbing his brothers hand affectionately "Frank's been here the whole time, he's just gone to get some coffee at the shop, you like that thought?" Mikey asked, noticing the wisp of a smile on his lips. "I thought he didn't love me" Gerard mumbled before drifting off into sleep.

Ray strolled into the newsagent and walked to the desk "do you sell flowers?" He asked the woman at the till. "Yeah, right over there Sir!"
Ray studied the shelf looking for the right bunch, some lilac freesias grabbed his eye so he grabbed them.
"These please" Ray smiled, placing the money on the counter.


"No. Please? No needles!"
The doctor advanced on Gerard and he winced. "Look Mr. Way, you need to have this to get better, I'm gonna be honest with you, it will hurt a little, but only a slight pinch, okay?"
Gerard looked over to Frank for approval, and he smiled, "We gotta get you better" was all he said, but the way he implied it made Gerard reassured, they were going to have a future together. "Okay"
The doctor rolled up Gerard's crumpled hospital gown sleeve and cleaned his arm with a swift swish of a wipe, "calm down, I'm right here" Frank assured him grabbing his hand and holding it tight, Gerard could see the doctors needle in the corner of his eye. He stiffened up and the doctor told him off. He began to study Franks face to distract himself, the way his eyes were such a bright green when the sun hit them, they had a ring around them in a darker shade of melting caramel that had such intensity that made him blush, the way his unusual jawline was almost a triangle but more blunt and beautiful, he had a straight nose and arched eyebrows, he looked down to their entwined fingers, frank always wore these cute little skeleton gloves. He smiles a lot and his hair always gets in his eyes and he blows upwards to move it, he was so beautiful in Gerard's eyes. How could he ever love him? Druggy depressed Gerard. The creepy artist, he must have seen the drawing, Gerard thought, remembering the portrait he'd drawn of Frank. Shit.
"All done!" Said the doctor taping the cotton wool to his arm "For someone scared of needles I'm very impressed, you didn't make a sound!" The doctor enthused trying to cheer up Gerard, he'd read his notes, he knew of his depression. "Thanks" he replied quietly. Once the doctor left the room and walked out of earshot Frank looked at Gerard with pitiful eyes "I have something to tell you"
Oh no Gerard thought, thinking of the possibilities that lied ahead, "I'm sorry, that kiss meant nothing, it never should have happened, you were drunk and confused, I got caught up in it" he heard him say. But he didn't.
"Gerard, I..I..I..I bloody love you. I want us to be together, I mean, if you don't feel the same it's okay, I just, I really like you, and i've never liked anyone before..."
Gerard just stared at him, flabbergasted "?..r...reaaally????"
Frank nodded sheepishly, looking scared to death, if he got rejected now, he couldn't think of the consequences. "Well.... I kinda like you to Fronkieh..." Gerard smiled, his life was better already "How long have you been calling me that?" Frank grinned wildly, like he'd just been given an Oscar. "Just a while....." Gerard tried to think backwards in time, it was pretty much ever since their eyes first locked, if he was blatantly honest.
Gerard was the first to lean in this time, closing the gap between them, they kissed lightly on the lips and Frank stroked his cold cheek, as they leaned in again Ray skidded into the room, eyes like a rabbit in headlights "um.. Oh shit, sorry, i didn't realise you were.. Um, well you look better Gerard!" They laughed at Rays shit-scared face. "Hey Ray, meet my boyfriend."
Frank liked the sound of that.
