Who am I to you?

FUCKING SHIT.

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO.

Gerard froze.

"Ah- Uh- W- What?"

"Fuck- Shit- Gerard I'm sorry!" I gasped, pulling away. He just stared, his mouth open. "I'm so sorry-" I whimpered, stumbling back towards the door. Just as I grabbed the doorknob Gerard snapped out of his trance, leaping towards me.

"Frank stop!" He pounced on me, pinning my arms to my sides. My lower lip trembled, tears welling up in my eyes.

"I'm sorry." I looked down, almost crying.

"Why?" He whispered, tilting my chin up. "It's okay. I've just... never heard that before. Not from anyone but Mikey and Ma... You surprised me. Did... Did you mean it?"

"I..." I was scared to death, not knowing what the better answer was. Gerard watched me for a moment and sighed, letting me go despondently.

"It's okay... You don't have to answer..."

I felt horrible seeing the almost hurt expression on his face. After a long pause, I whispered.

"Would you be mad if I did?"

Gerard's head shot up, and he stared directly at me. "Y-you did mean it?"

I was terrified of what he would do, but steeled myself and nodded slowly. "Yes." I croaked.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then- still nothing. "I..." Gerard seemed lost for words.

"You barely know me. I'm sorry. You don't have to say it back. I won't be offended." I murmured, tentatively reaching forward to hug him. He noticed, and pulled me into him.

"Thank you..." He breathed quietly. "Thank you."
