Do You Wanna Hold My Hand?
They're Gonna Medicate Your Lives.
Chapter Twenty Six: They're gonna medicate your lives.
"How long has he been here mum?" Frank asked his mother, staring at Gerard's sleeping body, wrapped up in a blanket on a chair next to his bedside.
"He was the one that found you darling." His mother spoke softly, rubbing her hand against Frank's cheek softly.
"When do you think he'll wake up?" Frank asked, directing his gaze at his mother who laughed lightly, "what's so funny?" He asked, confused.
"He asked me that last night before he fell asleep." She smiled at his blushing cheeks.
"Oh," Frank laughed awkwardly, "how long exactly was I out mum?" A note of worry could be heard in his voice.
"About 3 days honey, and we never left your side, well we did occasionally but only for essential reasons." She winked at him and laughed awkwardly.
"Aww jeez mum I don't wanna know." Frank grimaced and laughed lightly, making Gerard snore rather awkwardly.
"I believe that's my cue to leave." She smiled as she stood up and left the small hospital room. Gerard groaned slightly before moving around in the cocoon of his blanket.
"Ugh, hi Mrs Iero." Gerard mumbled, still half asleep and his eyes shut.
"Gerard, it's me not my mum, I'm kinda offended you think I look like a woman." Frank laughed as Gerard's eyes opened in shock.
"Your ... your awake!" He exclaimed, "oh my God Frank! Never do that to me again! Ever!" Gerard grinned before wrapping his arms tightly around Frank's neck.
"Ouch!" Frank exclaimed as Gerard's sleeve rubbed against a large red patch on Frank's neck from were the rope had dug in.
"Oh sorry." Gerard mumbled, removing his arms and sitting down again, but just before he had fully sat back down, Frank grabbed one of his arms. "Are you okay Frank?" Gerard asked, leaning over him slightly.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, staring at Gerard's olive coloured eyes.
"What for? You mean for scaring me half to death?" Gerard asked.
"Yes." Frank spoke softly as he hoisted himself upright so he was leaning against the wall.
"It's okay, just never do it again, ever. Got it?" Gerard smirked trying to sit back down but Frank still had a tight grip on his arm.
"I-I'm sorry Gee." Frank whispered, his eyes suddenly filling with tears.
"Hey! Stop that. Don't you start crying, I've done enough crying for the pair of us thank you very much!" Gerard smiled sweetly, staring into Frank's chocolate brown eyes. Frank giggled lightly in response and wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeves.
"Mum says you were the one that found me." Frank whispered softly as Gerard nodded in response. "Why where you at my house anyway?" Frank asked, genuinely perplexed.
"Do you really want to know?" Gerard asked, a casual smirk plastered across his face. Frank nodded vigorously in response. "I came to give you this." Gerard leaned over and pressed his pale lips against Frank's slightly damp ones. The olive eyed boy interrupted the kiss so he could laugh.
"What's funny?" Frank asked, worried he'd done something wrong.
"When I kissed you, that machine started having a heart attack!" Gerard exclaimed inbetween bursts of laughter. Frank's cheeks went scarlet as he realised that indeed when Gerard had kissed him, the machine hooked up to him to measure his heartbeat had beeped much more frequently then it had been previously.
"Sorry." Frank muttered, deeply embarrassed.
"S'ok," Gerard chuckled, "something to tell my mum when I finally get back home." He carried on chuckling.
"Wait, you haven't been home the whole time I've been here?" Frank sat bolt upright.
"Yeah." Gerard smiled, Frank's heart melted a little like butter.
"Come here." Frank pointed at the bare part of the bed next to himself. Gerard followed his orders and sat next to him on the hard mattress.
"I love you Gerard Arthur Way." Frank beamed at him before smashing their lips together, both of the boys laughing lightly at Frank's increased heart rate being shown via the machine next to him.
"I love you too Frank Anthony Thomas Iero Jr." Gerard whispered softly before kissing Frank lightly, smiling as he did so.
"Jesus Christ!" Gerard exclaimed as the pharmacist handed Frank's mother all the boxes of tablets and different medicines Frank had been prescribed by the doctor.
"How many?" Frank gasped, a look of horror on his previously blissfully happy face.
"Their just doing their job you two." Frank's mother mumbled at the two boys horrified expressions.
"I hate tablets." Frank grumbled, crossing his arms.
"Hey you! It could have been much worse! At least you only broke your collar bone! Like the doctor said it could've been your neck!" Frank's mother spoke frantically, stuffing the tablets into her bag and shoving the two teenagers in front of her out of the entrance of the pharmacy.
"I suppose." Frank mumbled, proceeding to grumble about all the tablets he was going to he forced to take.
"Were do you live again Gerard honey?" Frank's mother spoke softly as the three of them entered her car.
"82 Greenfield Avenue." Gerard said, glancing over at Frank who was still sulking about the tablets.
"Thanks for the lift home Mrs Iero! And bye Frank." Gerard smiled at the spiky haired boy sat in the back of the sleek black car and waved at Mrs Iero sat in the front of the vehicle before proceeding to enter his home. "Hey mum!" Gerard shouted into the house.
"Gerard!" His mother came running down the stairs, grabbing her son and wrapping her arms around him.
"Woah! Err yeah hi mum." Gerard chuckled lightly as his mother squeazed him tighter. "Frank woke up, he's fine, they've even sent him home." Gerard smiled, hugging his mother back.
"Oh that's good news hun!" His mother withdrew and smiled brightly at him. "How are you two then?" His mother asked, curious to broach the subject of Frank. Gerard proceeded to tell his mother all about Frank, leaving out the part about Bert and simply saying they'd gone through a rough patch. He told her about the machine at the hospital which had made her howl with laughter. Gerard spent the rest of the day snuggled up on the sofa inbetween his mother and Mikey watching tv until darkness fell and he shuffled off to his room to text Frank using Mikey's old phone. Eventually, when sleep came, Gerard dreamt his usual dreams of Frank, but a weight had been lifted from his shoulders allowing him to dream peacefully. His mother had found out about his sexuality and there was the likelihood he was going to get back with Frank and the two of them could be a proper couple once again.
"How long has he been here mum?" Frank asked his mother, staring at Gerard's sleeping body, wrapped up in a blanket on a chair next to his bedside.
"He was the one that found you darling." His mother spoke softly, rubbing her hand against Frank's cheek softly.
