Do You Wanna Hold My Hand?
Round Two.
Chapter five: Round Two
Gerard walked to school on his own, hoping he would be greeted by his spiky haired boyfriend the nearer he got to the dilapidated school building. Just as Gerard's headphones finished screaming an Anthrax song at him, a pale hand reached out and grabbed hold of Gerard's.
"Hey Gee!" Frank smiled at his deathly pale boyfriend.
"Hey Frankie!" Gerard smiled back as he removed his thick black headphones and packed them away into his bag.
"How're you?" Frank asked Gerard, curious for the knowledge of his boyfriends mood.
"All the better for seeing you hun." Gerard smiled awkwardly as he held Franks hand tighter the closer the two got to their school. The smaller boy giggled and returned a similar phrase.
Frank and Gerard stood in front of the rusted iron gates that stood at the entrance of Middleton Secondary School. The two boys looked at each other, grabbing the others hand tighter as they walked up the long driveway and into the school itself.
Only a handful of people looked at the two boys holding hands, most just shrugged it off and carried on with their previous task but a few stood with their mouths slightly open. Frank laughed it off but Gerard became slightly nervous.
"Why hello there darlings!" A voice shouted down the hall in a camp accent. The two boys stopped and turned slightly to see who the voice had come from and were greeted by the uneasy presence of Bert, the jock who had beaten Gerard up only a few days beforehand. Frank squeaked slightly and tried to get away but Gerard stood still.
"Hey Bertet." Gerard said, turning to face the other boy whilst smirking. Bert glared at him, his face going scarlet.
"What did you say freak?" Bert hissed, almost spitting in Gerards face.
"I said, hey Bertet." Gerard carried on smirking.
"What the fuck do you mean 'hey Bertet'?" Bert hissed, grabbing a handful of Gerard's shirt.
"Well the fact you said darlings obviously goes to prove the fact that your much more feminine then everybody thought." Gerard chuckled lightly as the other boys face fell. Gerard's chuckling was abruptly halted when Berts fist smashed into his face, a trickle of blood ran from Gerard's cracked lip down his face and dripped onto his pristine white school shirt. Bert hit Gerard a second time, this time aimed at his left eye. Frank jumped in front of Bert practically screaming at him, stopping the jock who towered over the spiky haired boy from punching his beloved boyfriend.
"You better keep your fucking dog on a leash midget." Bert hissed at Frank who whimpered slightly as the taller boy and his friends walked away laughing. Gerard moaned slightly in pain and Frank turned to him instantly, patting down the olive eyed boys ruffled dark hair.
"What did I tell you about picking fights with Bert Gee?" Frank asked as he rummaged around in his bag for a packet of tissues to wipe away the mess of blood surrounding his boyfriends mouth.
"I'm sorry hun, he just pisses me off the way he treats people like shit and doesn't expect any consequences." Gerard sighed, dabbing at his face with the handful of tissues his boyfriend had found for him.
Frank had insisted that Gerard go to the nurses office and get his lip cleaned up properly.
"She's just gunna give me a bundle of tissues like she did last time ya' know?" Gerard chuckled as his boyfriend dragged him down the hall to the nurses office.
"I know, I know, but it gives me some piece of mind that someone knows your definitely okay and your not going to collapse or anything." Frank sighed as he opened the door for Gerard and sat down on the uncomfortable blue chair next to the doorway.
Gerard walked out of the office 10 minutes later just after the bell had gone with an ice pack on his eye and a tissue to his cracked lip. Frank grabbed his boyfriends hand and kissed him on his cheek, careful not to hurt him.
"Fancy coming round to my house tonight again? I can get more food in?" Frank asked, a note of worry in his voice as his boyfriend dabbed his lip and winced in pain.
"Yeah sure, I'll just have to ring my mum at lunch or something to tell her I'll be late home." Gerard smiled weakly, careful not to move his lip too much.
The two boys lessons flew by that day, their English teacher took one look at Gerard and let them sneak into class 10 minutes late without any fuss. Ray and Bob commented on Gerard's lip and his eye that was starting to go a funny yellow looking colour. Gerard had rung his mum at lunch but had been directed to her voicemail so left a message stating the fact that he was going to Franks house that night so would be late home but would be having dinner at Frank's so there was no need to worry about not cooking him anything. The two boys couldn't wait for the end of the day and were practically jumping up and down on their way home.
Frank opened the front door of his house and dumped his belongings right in the doorway. Gerard followed suit, not as nervous about the Iero household as he had been the previous day. The two boys launched themselves onto the sofa, snuggling up to one another almost instantly as Frank switched on the tv to an old episode of the Simpsons. Gerard put his head on Frank's shoulder and snuggled into the crevice of his neck. Frank began to playfully knot his fingers into Gerard's hair and leave light kisses on his hands. Gerard looked up at his boyfriend who instantly launched himself into a deep, passionate kiss. Gerard repositioned himself so he was leaning over Frank who had his back pressed against the seat of the sofa. The two boys carried on kissing, caressing one another's faces. Frank's hands slowly began to wander down below Gerard's hips and he pulled his boyfriend closer, losing himself in their kiss. He gasped slightly as Gerard moved his right hand to grab Frank's butt, still leaning over the spiky haired boy.
The two boys jumped as the doorbell rang, interrupting their passionate kissing. Frank begrudgingly got up from below Gerard and moved to open the front door. Ray and Bob stood in the door holding one another's hand.
"Hey Frank!" Ray said cheerfully, Bob waved lightly at the boy in the doorway. "We just came by so I could drop off your geography book, I didn't realise until after you'd left that I'd picked up yours and mine." Ray laughed lightly handing Frank his book.
"Oh err thanks." Frank said, eager to close the door and return to his boyfriend who was waiting impatiently on the sofa. Ray seemed to sense this and the boys said their quick goodbyes, Ray and Bob practically running away to Bob's mums car when Frank signalled to them that Gerard was in his house. Frank closed the door on the two scattering boys chuckling lightly, walking back into the living room and sitting down next to his boyfriend.
"Now, where were we?" Frank asked cheerfully, a playful grin on his face
