You're Never Just A 'Nobody'

When I get out of the shower, fully clothes, I'm startled when I walk into my room to find Gerard sitting on my bed, flicking through a magazine of mine.
We're both going shopping today, he's wearing a black and white striped long sleved shirt with ripped black jeans, with his infamous red scarf around his neck.
When he hears me enter the room, he looks me up and down. Not one of those ways guys do when they're checking a slut out, wanting some booty call, but a way that says as if he's happy to be with me, which I blush to.

"You look great, we should head off now before it get crowded." He says, standing up. I nod and we head out the door, Gerard lets his mother know how long we'll be. When we get out of the house, Gerard once again races toward his car door, opening and closing it for me; which I quickly thank him for.

We arrive at the shopping center at 11am. Gerard helps me find gifts for his parents, I buy them some house ornaments and jewelry for Donna, I also buy Mikey some CDs of his favorite bands that he already doesn't have.
After at least an hour of searching for presents, Gerard and I head our separate ways to buy each other some. It took a lot of begging and pleading, but he said he already had something in mind for me.

I wonder around a bunch of different shops to try and look for something for him. I finally come to a comic book store, I march through and look for comics he hasn't read, or hasn't got yet.
I come across the comic he's been dying to read, but says he can't afford it. Which doesn't supries me because it's 250 ducking dollars for the whole 9 book set.
I know I really shouldn't, blowing out the rest of my payment for the week, but I buy the set, and some other ones. Iv spent at least $300 or more just for Gerard.
Fuck him if he doesn't like it.

I walk out the store, 2 bags in each of my hands. He won't be able to see through it because I asked for them to be wrapped. You're a fucking genius Ava. Yes.

I spot Gerard at a table with some coffee and two sandwiches. He sees me too and gestures for me to come over, which I do. I sit myself down trying to get a look at his bags,

"Christmas is tomorrow, you'll find out soon, Ava. Don't worry" He chuckles, looking over at me. I roll my eyes and start to eat my lunch.


------------- * 3pm * --------------

We stroll through a small park, Gerard's hand in mine. He shows me what he did as a child. Come down here and play with Mikey and Ray, and as a teenager, a lot of his spare time spent down here, just relaxing.

"See that tree there," He says, pointing to a massive hollowed tree, "I used to climb that a lot of the time I was down here, Mikey was the only one id take up there." He laughs at the memories.

"Have you climbed it recently?" I ask, curious to see what it's like up there,

"No. But let's check it out." Enthusiasm leaves his mouth while saying that sentence. I don't hold back. Running upto the tree, I feel the cold air catch in my breath, Gersrd isn't far behind me. I find little wooden steps nailed into the tree, they don't look dangerous, and to my prediction, they aren't. I brush some snow off of them as I climb. There are about 7 or 8 pieces of wood, I make it too a flat platform also nailed into the tree, with a rug on it. I step on it. It's perfectly stable.
Gerard appears soon after, he lets down next to me, both looking up above us at the trees coated with snow.

"It's beautiful up here" I breath out, he looks over at me and smiles,

"I think you're beautiful." He says, I look over at him, he has the greatest grin across his face. I blush, causing him to laugh a little,

"Even when you're blushing, god Ava, stop it. It's like you want me to suffer."

"Why would you suffer?" I ask, chucking to myself a little,

"Because you're not mine" And with that, he takes my face in his hands and brings it to his level.
He slowly leans in, our lips meeting each other's. His lips are cold yet irresistible. His hands leave my face and make their way down to my waist, there, he holds me firmly. I fling my arms around his neck bringing him closer to me.

I don't know how to think towards Gerard. He's been overly kind to me, welcoming me into his house, giving up his alcohol addiction, and just being there for me in general. I want to be with Gerard, I WANT Gerard, need him even. He makes me feel complete, like his the missing piece to my life.
But other times I feel like we're moving to fast, or if it doesn't work out and go into that weird friendzone type thing. I don't want that, but I want him. I can't help to want him.
Hes my addiction.

"Ava.." Gerard moans against my lips, our tongues swirling around each other's. I'm now laying on my back on the rug with Gerard on top of me, in between my legs. His hands run up and down my mid section. This, is the feeling that makes me feel like a better me.
He smells of coffee and peppermint gum, I close my eyes in enjoyment of his touch.
He removes his lips off mine and leaves little kisses down my jaw, going as far as my jacket, which isn't far.

"Fuck Ava, why'd you have to wear a fucking jacket," He sighs being sarcastic,

"Because it's fucking freezing and I didn't know we were going to have a big make out session in a tree" I say, mimicking his tone.

His head levels with mine, he looks into my eyes with a serious look on his face,

"You're right, i should be more of a gentleman" He starts to get off me, but I pull him back down,

"No, I like it when you're not a gentelman" And with that, he smirks and slams his lips down with mine.
We continue making out in a tree.

------------- * 4:45pm * --------------

When we finally remove ourselves from each other and arrive back at home, Donna stands at the kitchen looking unimpressed.

"Gerard! Where on earth were you!!" She yells slightly, I probably look frightened because her facial expression softens a little,

"I'm sorry ma, the shops were really busy, being the 24th I couldn't imagine more" Gerard replies.
Oh yeah, leaving out the part where we made out in a tree for almost 2 fucking hours.
Then again, im not complaining.

Donna looks between us for a little bit longer, nodding. She shoos us out of the kitchen, yelling out to Gerard that her and Donald are going out for dinner tonight.

I take the bags iv been holding with everyone's presents in them, and place them under the Christmas tree in the lounge room.

Gerard walks into his room, letting me join him in his horror movie marathon. We huddle up on his bed with serveral blankets warpped around us.
I let my head rest on his shoulder, his hand meeting mine and holding it. We sit like that for hours just watching movies.

Like I said, the little stuff like this, makes me feel more complete.
