Frank's POV

When I woke up I recognize the familiar coffee scent of Gerard and smile. I hold the gray pillow and take a nice strong sniff. God, I love that smell.

I sit up and I brush down my hair just in case it's wild. I yawn, and out of his bed but Gerard in here. I get a mint from my bag and chew it so I finish it quickly. I breath out and I can feel the mint scent invade the air around me. I go up the stairs and look for Gerard. I go into the hallway and I hear Zacky's voice. I know this is wrong but I lean on the door, and listen to their conversation.

"If you like this guy so much, you should just ask him out." I hear Mikey say. Does this mean Zacky is gay or something?

"Yeah, but it's not that easy..." Zacky says sounding a bit disappointed.

"Oh, come on! Just talk to the lucky fellow."

"Mikey, I don't think I should tell anyone..."

"Come one, you can trust me."

"Just please don't tell anyone, especially not Gerard."

"Why?"

"Because he'll have my head!"

"Wait, does that mean you-"

"Like Frank? Yes, I really like Frank." I step back. I've heard enough. Geard was right, but we can still be friends. I just need to be careful. I move back and walk to the kitchen. No Gerard. I check the bathrooms and all the bedrooms. No Gerard. I go to the front door and open it, cold air hitting my bare arms.

But there he is, and so are people from school, and a girl I don't know.

"Gerard, look who's up." Ray grins and Gerard turns around to look at me. He comes up to me and whispers so no one can hear.

"Babe, go back inside please." He whispers in my ear.

"But Gerard, what's going on? Why are these people here?" I ask.

"Please Frankie.... I need you to go inside. Get Mikey please. You can't be here."

"But Gee-"

"I'll explain everything later, I promise. Now please get Mikey and stay inside. Stay with Zacky, I don't care... Just stay inside, please." I nod and go inside and Gerard immediately closes the door. I run to Mikey's room and knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I hear Mikey ask.

"Frank." I say and the door immediately opens to Zacky.

"Hey, um how are you?" He asks, awkwardly rubbing his neck.

"I'm fine, I- well Gerard needs Mikey outside... He needs him now, a girls here and so are the two kids from school and-"

"Oh shit," Mikey interrupts me. "I really hope it's not who I think it is..." Then Mikey flees.

"What's going on?" Zacky asks.

"I-I don't really know." I say and I walk into the room and close the door behind me. I sit down on Mikey's bed. Zacky comes and sits next to me. "There were these people outside and I'm kinda scared."

"It's fine Frank, I'm sure Gerard is just solving an issue." He laughs, and I think that he likes me.

"So what's been going on?" He asks.

"Oh, nothing much... I feel asleep though." I respond.

"That must have been cozy" he laughs. "So..."

"What have you and Mikey been doing?" I ask, trying to break the awkward tension.

"Nothing much really, just playing video games and talking." He says and I nod.

We sits there for maybe a minute or two in a really awkward silence. Suddenly I feel Zacky begin to play with my hair, and massage my scalp.

"I really like your hair. It's really pretty and soft." He whispers while tucking a thick strand behind my ear.

"Thanks... I-I like yours too."

"Thanks..." He looks at me and I turn my head. He's closer than I thought.

"Z-Zacky..." I mumble, looking at his eyes, then his lips, then back to his eyes. He can't kiss me, I'm dating Gerard.

"Yes?"

"We can't do this..." I say and he pulls back.

"Why not?" He asks sounding disappointed.

"Because, I have a boyfriend."

"Oh... Yeah, you do. It's cool, I'll always be here for you Frank." He says and hugs me. I wrap my arms around him and we sit there for a bit. I hear the door open and jump back just in case it's Gerard. Thankfully it's just Mikey, but where's Gerard?

"Mikey, what's going on?" I ask.

"Nothing, Gerard keeps getting himself into shit." He replies, crossing is arms and closing the door with his foot.

"Who are those people?"

"A couple friends from school..."

"Who's the girl?" I ask worried.

He pauses and freezes as if he was hesitating to tell me.

"I don't know..." I know he's lying but I dont want to push it.

"Oh, alright...." I say and Gerard walks through the door.

"Hey Frank." He says.

"Hey Gee!" I say excited that he's back and I jump up.

"Hey, let's go to the kitchen..." He says and holds out his hand for me to take it. I do and they are cold. We walk to the kitchen and Gerard looks nervous. We get there and he tells me to sit down.

"Are you hungry?" He asks.

"Yeah, a little..." I say putting hands deeper into my lap.

"Are you okay with a sandwich?"

"Yeah... Anything is fine..."

"Alright, so no meat?"

"No..."

"Alright babe, I'll have that ready in a couple of minutes." He smiles and makes two sandwiches.

I watch his every move and doesn't seem normal. He's really shaky like he's scared about something. When he finishes, he pours us coke and we sit and eat.

In the middle of our sandwiches I decide to ask him if anythings wrong.

"Gerard, are you alright?" I ask and he swallows and smiles.

"Yeah, of course..."

"You seem... Off. Did something happen?"

"No."

"Why were your friends here?"

"They... They just wanted to see if I could hang out." He takes a bite of his sandwich.

"Who's the girl." When I ask him that, he almost chokes. He swallows an takes a sip if his coke.

"She... I don't know her..."

"Really?"

"Yes! I don't know her at all!" He yells standing up a bit.

"I'm sorry for asking..." I mumble.

"I'm sorry I raised my voice. I don't know her, though." He says and I nod. We finishes eating and I finish my drink at the same time he does.

"Where should I put the plate?" I ask.

"I got it." He says and takes the plates and put them in the sink. He washes them and in that time I eat another mint I had in my pocket.

When he finishes he dries his hand and comes over to me.

"Gerard-" But he stops me by picking me up so my feet aren't touching the floor, wrapping his arms around me and kissing me. The shock immediately goes away and I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. He moves a hand to my hair and pets me, in a loving way. There's no tongue. It's not sloppy, but it's full of love, (or likeness? I don't know how to explain it but it feels like he means it) and passion.

When he pulls away he looks into my eyes.

"You’re really beautiful Frank..." He whispers.

"So are you Gee." I reply. He kisses me again then places me on the floor.

"I want to show you something..." He says and takes my hand. He leads me to the basement and closes the door. He sits me down on his bed and grabs his sketchbook. He flips open to the most recent page and shows me.

My eyes go wide and I smile. It's me. He drew me when I fell asleep. It's incredible too! He has an amazing talent.

"Oh Gee, it's amazing. You’re so talented... I love it!" I say and peck his lips really quick.

"Thanks, you have great bone structure and beautiful features, so I liked drawing you. I want to do it again soon." He says and smiles.

"Definetly!" I cheer. I feel my phone vibrate and then my ringtone starts playing.

"I love your ringtone! Astro Zombies!" Gerard exclaims, his eyes lighting up.

"Yeah!" I say, and peck his lips again and reach into my pocket and pull out the phone.

Dad.

I pick it up and put it to my ear.

"Hi Dad." I say, hoping he isn't mad.

"Frank, where are you? Are you alright?" He asks worried

"Yeah.. I'm fine."

"Where are you though? It time for me to pick you up from your Mother's and you aren't here."

Oh shit! I look at the time and it's 7:30. I forgot I was supposed to go to my Father's.

"Oh! I'll be there in about ten minutes! I'm sorry Dad! Could you get my guitar please, you have a spare key don't you?"" I ask.

"Yeah, alright Frank, I'll be outside your Mom's." He says.

"Alright, I love you."

"Love you too, Frank." Then he hangs up.

"Gerard, I forgot that my Dad is picking me up because I go to his house on the weekends. I need to go." I say and he puts down the sketchbook and hugs me.
