To the End

Frank and Gerard watched the sun rise and illuminate the dark sky, talking as they did their best to ignore everything but each other. Frank tried to ignore the sharp pain in his chest that he felt with each breath of smoke, as Gerard tried to ignore the pounding pain in his head from his hangover. As the sun started to peak out from behind the houses in front of them, Gerard leaned forward, pressing his chest against the windowsill and leaning against Frank, his head resting on Frank’s shoulder. Frank’s dry lips slowly turned up into a smile as Frank scooted himself slightly closer.
Frank’s alarm clock sounded, making him and Gerard jump. Gerard let out a small chuckle and smashed the head of the cigarette against the windowsill.
“I suppose it’s almost time to get around, huh?” Gerard said, looking over at Frank.
“Yeah…” he sighed “I guess.”
“Can you still smell the alcohol on me?” Gerard asked, smirking slightly.
“Uh…” Frank sniffed the air “No, I can’t smell it, why?” Gerard took his cigarette and put it out quickly. “G-Gerard? What are you doing?” Gerard grabbed Frank’s wrists and pressed him against the wall, smashing his lips against Frank’s. Gerard closed his eyes, slowly pulling Frank’s hands to his waist, before Gerard put his hands on Frank’s waist, pulling him closer by the hips.
“Gerard…” Frank moaned in the kiss. “You’re not straight…?”
“How could I be,” Gerard answered, keeping his eyes closed tightly. “With someone like you in my life?”
“This is just… so sudden… You were just trying to kill yourself over Lyn-Z…”
“And you saved me. I owe you my life and more, Frank.” Gerard said as he pulled away, panting lightly. “Frank… I’m sorry if you think this is weird… I can just go…” Gerard started towards the door, letting go of Frank and leaving him to watch the boy he felt he was falling in love with walk out of his life.
You can’t let this happen, Frank.
Frank rushed to Gerard and grabbed his wrist, swinging Gerard around. “No. Don’t go Gerard. I want you in my life. Please, don’t go.” Frank didn’t understand any of this, he didn’t understand how this was happening so fast or why it was happening at all, but he knew Gerard had to be in his life. He’d never been in love before, or even had a crush before.
“Really?” Gerard asked, cocking his head just slightly.
“Honestly? I don’t see myself with anyone else. I mean, this is probably weird to hear, too, I know we’re rushing into everything, maybe I’m just a rebound for you, but I don’t care. If I’m a rebound, I promise to give you everything you’ll ever want until you have no choice but to develop feelings for me too. I’ve never had trouble choosing my words around a guy, well anyone really, and I didn’t even think I liked guys until I saw you. There’s just something so different about you, you’re not a douche like all the other guys my age in the world, you’re something original. You’re new to me, and I love trying to figure you out. I love knowing you so little that each conversation with you is like another adventure. I mean, we just talked for like four hours straight. I could never do that with anyone else. I’ve never been so excited to see someone like I was to see you. Gerard, you literally make my heart skip a beat. I just feel like I can tell you anything and I want to tell you everything. I have never been this happy before, I swear to god you are the best person I have and ever will meet. I don’t know if you believe in all that cheesy ‘love in first sight’ shit, and I didn’t either, but that was before I met you.” Frank said, looking at their hands as he spoke, lacing their fingers together.
“Wow, Frank….” Gerard said as he looked at their hands as well. “I… I think you’re too good for me, Frank.” Gerard said, joking slightly for lack of a better way to respond.
Frank said nothing and wrapped his arms around Gerard, pulling him into a tight hug.
