Hey Mr. Way

My whole day dragged really slowly. I didn't see Gerard once until lunch time, where he was walking in the opposite direction than me in the corridor. I awkwardly avoided his very obvious staring. He was literally just... looking at me. His expression was unreadable. He was just staring with a blank face. I walked quickly, with my head down and tried to hide between and behind the other students who were also walking in my direction. However I couldn't help glance over my shoulder at him after he'd passed. I was slightly disappointed when he wasn't looking back at me, but I tried my best to ignore the awful feeling inside me. You have no idea how much I'd have given to run back and hug him tightly from behind, and never let him go again. He was hurt, and I could clearly see that. But, I was hurt too. I realised that I obviously acted too harshly and seriously with this whole thing, but I also know I can't just let it slip. And to be perfectly honest, I don't want to be chasing after him like the desperate little fuck that I am.
I waited and waited all day to see him, in Art last lesson. I knew damn well it was going to be awkward, but if I thought just sitting there in silence like any other student would was going to be awkward, then I had no fucking idea.
He stared at me as soon as I walked into his classroom. There were only a few people here so far, since I was pretty quick in getting here from last lesson. I analyzed his stare and came to the conclusion that he was pretty damn upset. I swallowed uncomfortably under his gaze, I really didn't like the way he was looking. If we were alone right now, then I'd probably be crying. But I tried my best to stop myself, even though it was proving difficult.
I found it even harder to contain my tears when Gerard spoke. His voice was quieter than usual and it sounded totally fucking wrecked. So of course, my mind went into overdrive as I thought up awful possibilities of why that was so. A wave of sickness washed over me as somewhere in the back of my mind a thought popped up. What if he sucked someone off I thought to myself. And of course that idea never left my mind.
I needed to get out, get some air or something, I felt like I was going to throw up. I knew Gerard had noticed something because the sound of his voice teaching the class faltered a little, stopping for half a second, before he continued. When I looked up he was looking straight at me, completely unfocused from his teaching or the class. He was just saying things now, just droning on as if he were some kind of machine. His real focus was on me.
He finished up talking pretty quickly as I breathed in and out slowly. I looked up at him and yet again he was staring at me, I felt like I couldn't even take it anymore.
The whole class dragged on awkwardly, and almost silently, like that. He only ever directed his speech at me when he called out my name for the register, talking in his 'teacher voice' and treating me like he would treat any other student. When the bell rang the class made their way out quickly, and I found myself doing the same, packing my bag up and slinging it over my shoulder. Just before I was about to walk out, I heard Gerard's voice.
'' Frank, '' he said, his voice not much more than a whisper. I gulped and turned around, staying in the classroom and closing the door behind me.
'' Frank we need to talk. ''
I nodded in response, making my way silently back over to his desk.
'' Gee- um Gerard, '' I said, remembering the way he was calling me 'Frank' not 'Frankie'.
'' I-I don't... I don't know what to say, '' Gerard whispered, looking away from me. I watched silently as tears spilled down his cheeks.
'' I-I'm so fucking sorry I wish you c-could see... I want you to love me again, please, Frankie, I f-fucking love you s-so much please you can't j-just leave me here I-I'm nothing without you Frankie please forgive me I love you I-I want you to love me again! '' Gerard begged me, tears still streaming down his face. What he said really did melt my heart. I felt instantly bad and guilty for treating him like this, and his apology was so sincere, he really did mean it. I broke down in tears after hearing what he had to say.
'' Gee I-I'm s-s-so fucking... god I'm so f-fucking sorry, '' I choked out, literally dropping onto my knees on the floor beside him. I sobbed and sobbed, Gerard was crying too. I must have only been there for a few seconds before I felt his arms wrap around me and pick me up onto his lap. He looked at me cautiously for a second but I smiled and wiped away my tears before reaching out and wiping his off his cheeks.
'' I'm really sorry Gerard I overreacted way too much, I'm sorry, '' I said.
'' No, I'm sorry Frankie, I was stupid it was too risky, '' Gerard sighed and looked away.
'' Hey, it's okay, don't apologise, c-can we just forget about all this? ''
'' Yes. Yes, please Frankie. Will you take me back? ''
'' Did I ever leave you? ''
I chuckled and Gerard giggled, which I found extremely cute.
'' I love you, babe, '' I smiled.
'' I love you too sweetheart, so fucking much, '' he replied. I leaned in and pressed my lips softly against his, loving the feeling that I've been longing so much even though we'd only been arguing for one day. I was literally the happiest person in the world, my heart filled with joy because I had Gerard again, it's like I'd been brought back to life.
'' So we're okay now? '' Gerard mumbled against my lips.
'' Yeah, we're more than okay, baby, '' I replied, still kissing him. We stayed there for a few minutes, just me on Gerard's lap, enjoying kissing each other and enjoying the fact that we had each other again and we were back to how we were. Gerard suddenly gasped and pulled away.
'' I just remembered, '' a grin slowly forming on his lips, '' I have something for you. Back at my place. Come on.''
I practically jumped off Gerard's lap and pulled my phone out to text my mum that I'd be late home as Gerard packed up some work and stuff to take back home with him. We went straight to his car, not even bothering to do the thing we always do where I wait around the corner out of sight. Gerard drove us back to his apartment quickly and I was so glad to be back there. It honestly felt so home-like. It was like I already lived there.
When we were both inside, Gerard dropped his bag and I put mine down next to his.
'' Wait here, '' he instructed me. I smiled and nodded.
'' Close your eyes! '' he called from another room.
'' Okay, '' I replied, closing my eyes and smiling to myself. I heard Gerard's footsteps as he came back, and when he told me to open my eyes I was too stunned for words.
'' Frankie, I have this promise ring for you as a promise that I'll always love you, and care for you, and look after you. I'll always think you're the most beautiful person on this planet, because you are. I promise, that I'll always always love you and that I'll always be here no matter what we go through in life. I love you. ''
