Chapter 3: Frankie's house

Frank opened the door to his home, dumping his bag outside his room and putting his leather jacket (along with Gerard's) on the coat rack next to the front door. Gerard stood in the hall awkwardly looking around for somewhere to sit. Frank smiled at the nervous boy and directed him to follow him into the kitchen.

"Fancy." Gerard said whilst clicking his tongue in surprise when he saw the expensive looking kitchen. Frank frowned slightly but shook it off as he reached for a pizza menu and the house phone.

"Vegetarian special okay? Or I can get a pepperoni and vegetarian?" Frank smiled as the olive eyed boy picked the latter.

The pizzas were on their way but in the mean time Frank had guided Gerard to his bedroom to show him his extensive comic book collection. Gerard sat on Franks double bed and took in his surroundings. Bands such as iron maiden and anthrax posters were spread across the walls of Franks bedroom, leaving few gaps to show the light blue paint underneath. Frank walked over and sat down next to Gerard.

"So where are your parents?" Gerard asked, genuinely perplexed.

"My mum works for large business as the company manager so she's always at work when ever I'm home and my dads on a business trip at the moment for the next month, so I've pretty much got the house to myself." Frank smiled.

"Must get kinda boring though." Gerard pointed out.

"Yeah sometimes, but that's i invited people over!" Frank laughed and pointed at Gerard. Gerard smiled back sweetly. The two boys began to talk about the bands plastered across Franks walls when Gerard's phone began to ring.

"Hello?" Gerard asked the device in his hand. Frank stared intently into Gerard's olive coloured eyes and smiled, blushing as Gerard glanced at him and let a smile spread across his own face.

"Sure thing Mikey, okay, be good for mum kay? Bye." Gerard chuckled lightly as he put his phone back in his pocket.

"Who was it?" Frank asked.

"My little brother Mikey asking if he could eat my packet of Oreos I left on the side this morning." Gerard chuckled as Frank laughed lightly.

"Your brother sounds cute Gerard, you should introduce me to him sometime!" Frank exclaimed.

"Just like you then I suppose." Gerard smiled meekly and began to fiddle with the ends of his school jumper. Frank giggled, "are you calling me cute?" He carried on giggling.

"Yeah." Gerard carried on fidgeting.

"That's cute." Frank said as he pecked Gerard on the cheek. Gerard's eyes widened with excitement.

"You ... Your not ... Like freaked out or anything? That I like you I mean?" Gerard asked in astonishment.

"Why would I?" Frank questioned him.

"Well, I'm pretty much everyone's general idea of a freak." Gerard muttered and carried on playing with his jumper.

"Your not a freak to me Gee." Frank whispered as he moved part of Gerard's hair out of his face and put it behind his ear. Gerard looked up and smiled at Frank who smiled back. Frank began to lean slowly inwards towards Gerard's lips as Gerard moves his hand onto Franks waist. The two boys passionately kissed one another, Frank tangling his fingers in Gerard's long ebony hair whilst Gerard shifted Frank onto his lap, allowing him to wrap his legs around Gerard's waist. The two of them carried on kissing for what seemed like forever but what was actually for only a few minutes.

"I love you Gee." Frank whispered, not letting go of Gerard's hair.

"I love you too Frankie." Gerard smiled and whispered back.
