I'm Okay. Trust Me

Gerard's POV

My parents were okay with Frankie spending the night, thankfully. We hung around my room for the rest of the day talking, watching movies, it was nice. Before I knew it was going on 8pm.

“Do you wanna shower?” I asked Frankie.
“Yeah, if it's alright” he replied.
“Of course, you can borrow a pair of my pajamas” I stated.
He smiled. “Thanks Gee”
“Gee?” I asked, a grin spreading across my face.
His cheeks grew pink. “Yeah.. You know... Short for Gerard.. You call me Frankie so I figured I should give you a nickname. Do you not like it?” He bit his lip.
“I love it” I said, laughing, handing him a pair of pajamas.

When Frankie returned from the bathroom, my heart melted. His hair was a wet mess and my pajamas were twice his size. He looked fucking adorable.
“Quit staring, I know they're big on me” Frankie whined, pretending to pout.
“You look cute” I whispered.
“What?”
“Nothing”
The smirk on his face indicated that he had heard me. My cheeks burned.

I made Frankie sleep in my bed even though he argued with me about it for 10 minutes, saying that he will sleep on the floor. He's so stubborn. Eventually, I pushed him down on the bed, straddled his waist, and pinned his arms down until he agreed. I enjoyed it very much though, I won't lie.
I lay on the floor, trying to get as comfortable as I can on the floor until my eyelids fluttered shut. I felt a safe sensation being so close to Frankie.

I jolted up to rapid movement in the bed and moans and groans of agony. It was Frank. A bolt of worry shot through me. I shook him awake. He was breathing fast, his body sweaty and hot. I told him he was having a nightmare. I sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand tight as he calmed himself down. I told him I was going to get him a wet washcloth to put on his forehead, but he grabbed my wrist, begging me to stay. He looked so terrified. My heart ached. I lay down next to him, not too close, but close enough to wrap one of my arms around his small waist.
“It's okay Frankie” I cooed.
“It was just a dream” his breathing slowed.
“I won't let anything hurt you, I promise”
