The Light Behind Your Eyes

~Gerard’s POV~
I kept bugging Frank about his hair being messy. It didn’t look like a bird nest or anything it was just really out of place.

“Ughh Frank I swear your god damn hair will be the end of me!” I laughed as I pushed the hair out of his face. He was laughing too and eventually the laughing settled down and we looked in each others eyes.

A couple seconds later Frank leaned in and our lips locked. I was really surprised. I never thought of doing such a thing, but honestly I didn’t hate it and it was probably the best feeling ever. I kissed him back softly and then pulled away after awhile.

“I-I’m sorry” Frank said. He was as red as a tomato and is hair was even messier from me ruffling it.

I didn’t reply, instead I pulled him into a kiss but this time the kiss was more passionate. I laced my hands through his dark brown hair and he did the same to me. After what seemed like forever, in a good way, I pulled away and looked at Frank. His light brown eyes were really gorgeous and they seemed to be wider than before.

“I-I w-anted to do that since I met you” Frank said. I smiled really big and my cheeks turned a shade of pink.
“We should probably get to sleep, night Frankie” I said, crouching on the floor and pulling the couple blankets I had over me.
“Night Gerard” Frank replied.

I smiled and fell asleep very fast.

The rest of the week went extremely fast, it was now Friday afternoon and the two classes I had left were Music and Art, and then it would be the weekend. Music class is basically a free time period as long as you are doing something involved with music. I sit in the corner and write songs while other kids play guitars or even just put their headphones in. I sat in my usual spot and wrote more lyrics down.

We’ll fly home, you and I, We’ll fly home.

I scribbled down words and Frank came over to me.

“Can you sing something for me? Like a song your finished?” He asked.
“Sure” I said smiling and I started singing a song I called Helena.

Long ago.
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
we are so far from you
…
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

When I finished the song I looked at Frank’s face and it seemed shocked. Probably shocked that I could actually sing, shocked that I wasn’t quiet like regular Gerard.

“Wow” Frank said.
“Gerald! That was amazing!” The music teacher said.
“It’s Gerard” I said behind clenched teeth “But thank you”

The music teacher walked away. I don’t even know her name, but then again she doesn’t know mine. Frank sat beside me and I could tell something was bugging him by the way he was picking at the skin around his fingers and looking around anxiously.

“Frankie?” I asked “Is everything alright?”
“Yeah, I just feel bad staying at your house, I think I should go back to mine tonight” He replied.
“Y’know you can stay at my house as long as you need, my parents are cool with it”
“Yeah but my dad is probably worried.” He said “I can’t hide forever”

After Music and Art were done the dismissal bell rang. Frank and I walked to the bus and sat in our regular seat. I was working on homework for most of the bus ride but as we neared Frank’s stop, I stopped to talk to him.

“Frank, if anything happens tonight, just call me and I’ll be right over alright?” I said to him.

Frank walked off the bus and I watched him as he walked into his house. When we got to my house I walked inside, took off my shoes and headed to my room. I took my phone out of my pocket and threw it on my bedside table as I flopped down on my bed and fell asleep. I was woken up about an hour later by my phone ringing.

“Hello?” I asked in an extremely tired voice.
“Gerard! Can you please come get me I’m at the bus stop that’s the one after me, so umm please come”

After that call the phone hung up. By the voice on the other end I knew it was Frank and I knew something was going on. When I found him he explained everything, how his dad beat him for leaving for so long. Frank had a suitcase and a backpack that were full of his things. When we got to my house I explained to my parents that Frank was sleeping over again, and probably for a long time. It was already 9:30 and I was really tired. I got Frank settled down and let him sleep in my bed again, while I would be on the floor.

“Night Frankie” I said, kissing his forehead. I bent down and was about to crawl into my uncomfortable floor bed until Frank spoke up.
“Wait, Gerard” He said “C-can you sleep with me tonight?”
“Of course" I said

I crawled into bed beside Frankie and fell asleep with him in my arms.
