The Light Behind Your Eyes

The morning air was crisp and cold, as it washed in to the small kitchen through the open door. Gerard waved Mikey off, smirking as he watched his younger brother drop his books across the floor, before lifting himself up again and setting of for Ray's. Frank was sprawled out on the bed upstairs, most likely still reading a comic book, whilst Gerard perched himself at the breakfast bar, eating a bowl of cereal.

He peered expectantly at his mother, bustling around the kitchen making toast, throwing odd looks at his father. It looked suspiciously like they were communicating through looks. Gerard quirked an eyebrow, spinning himself round on the breakfast bar chair as his mother approached him, reddening considerably. His father soon followed, propping up his brief case and taking a steaming cup of coffee in his hands.
"Gerard, we need to speak to you" Donna spoke softly, resting her hands on the table and blushing further, eyeing Gerard's father from the corner of her eyes.


"""If this is about Frank, he's not going!" Gerard snapped, instantly growing protective over his boyfriends safety.

"Actually, its about something else" Gerard's father, commonly known as 'Don' to the household, chipped in, raising his hands to calm the atmosphere.
"Your sexuality" Donna finalised, breathing deeply and averting her eyes from her gay son, slumped before her.

"What about it?" Gerard groaned, shifting on his chair so he was facing his parents.

""Me and your father have been talking and we think its only responsible to set some rules, give you some advice and generally...embrace your true self" Donna sipped from her coffee sharply, her hands array with pulsating veins.

"We have some rules to set. Seeing as Frank is staying with us and we are aware that you two are...dating, I wanted to set some guildlines. We don't want you...doing your business together on any of the family furniture...or living spaces" Don was blushing too, violently gripping the table as he spoke.

""For fucks sake, we're not that desperate" Gerard mumbled, grimacing when he realised he'd sworn in front of his parents.

"Language. Anyway, we also don't think its wise that you don't... Kiss or whatever you do in public" Don continued, glancing at Donna and nodding in confirmation.
"What, so I can't show my love for boyfriend in public? That's fucking brilliant! If everyone else can, why can't we?" Gerard exploded, waving his hands around in a frantic attempt to make himself seem even more hit up about things. Don was about to speak when Frank shuffled into the kitchen looking slightly dazed and uncertain as to if he should be in here.
"I'll go back upstairs" He nodded, slightly confused, and made for the door, blushing at his intrusion.
"No, no! I wanted to give you and Gerard something anyway" Don coughed, reaching out a hand as Donna handed him a small package. He passed it to Gerard, who beckoned Frank closer so they could see what it was together. He slid the plastic wrapping off, only to be greeted by a handful of condoms falling to his hands, a bottle of lube and a selection of leaflets. They read 'Keeping Safe, The Gay Guide' 'Are You Comfortable In Bed?' And 'The Rainbow Brigade, Your Starter Kit To A Happy Relationship'

Frank blushed an almighty red, shying back into the wall and biting at.his nails with embarrassment. Gerard followed, flushing and opening his mouth to speak but only being left with a speechless statement. He gathered the condoms in his hands, taking Frank's wrist in his free fingers and running his thumb over his knuckles.
"T-thanks"
