Bright Lights That Cast A Shadow

The first thing I did after I got done staring numbly at the spot Lindsey had been standing was call Frank. I knew he was still at work down at Skeleton Crew, but I really hoped he would pick up. I really needed to talk to him right now.
He picked up after two rings, and I let myself slump down on the couch as his voice reached my ears, soothing me.
"Hey Gee! What's up?" His tone was cheery and I felt my stomach twist as I thought about what I was gonna tell him. I must've taken too long to reply because he spoke again, but in a more serious tone.
"Gee? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"It was Lindsey again," I informed him in a monotone voice. Silence reached me from the other end of the phone, and I could almost picture him getting angry.
"What did the bitch do this time!?" He snarled into the phone making me flinch. I sighed and rubbed my the palm of my free hand into my eye.
"Could you just stop by after work?" I asked hopefully. I just really wanted him to come over and we could cuddle and he could tell me what to do.
"Yeah, yeah, sure," He agreed hastily. I heard him yelling something to someone in the background before returning to the phone. "Yeah the band I'm helping today is just gonna continue practicing so I'll be there in like fifteen minutes," He promised me.
"Okay."
"Bye Geebear. I'll be there soon." I found myself smiling softly at the pet name.
"Bye Frankie." With that I hung up and waited for him to arrive.
~~~
It was exactly thirteen minutes and twenty eight seconds later that I heard a knock on the door, not that I was counting.
I raced over and unbolted it before swinging it open to see Frank waiting. He threw me a small smile as he slipped past me and into the apartment.
"You know, you really should check the peephole before you just open the door," He commented with a raised eyebrow.
"What's the worst that could happen?" I played along with his little chat that we both knew was a way to help with the stressful atmosphere.
"Well it could be a murderer or a rapist at the door," He stated with a shrug.
"I don't really think that would be a problem," I muttered staring at the floor. He looked confused for a second before recognition of what he had said sunk in.
"Oh shit, sorry Gee. I didn't mean-"
"No it's okay, I'm just in a bad mood." I tried to give him an apologetic smile but it just wasn't working. As in silent agreement we made our way over to the couch and sat down. I cuddled up into Frank's chest and he wrapped his arms around me, almost protectively.
"Tell me what happened," He urged kissing my forehead.
"Lindsey did something, I'm not sure what, but it got me fired," I explained sadly. "That job helped me feel more human, and I could rent this apartment. Now I'm probably gonna have to move in with Mikey." I felt his grip on me tighten as his anger towards Lindsey grew.
"She...I mean she can't...How!?" He managed to get out through gritted teeth. I just shrugged beneath him and gripped his jacket tightly, beginning to tremble.
"I just want this to be over!" I blubbered. "She said she's gonna try even harder the next time Frankie. And I'm scared!" I sobbed into his jacket as he pulled me even closer.
"Oh Gee..." He whispered sadly. I hated this. I hated all of it. I was tired of being worried about what Lindsey was going to do next. I was tired of being scared for my friends, and my brother, and Frank. I just wanted this nightmare to be over and for Lindsey to be out of my life, before she takes everything in it.
"Gee, I love you, and we will figure this out. I swear we will." He tilted my chin up and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. "You don't deserve this, and Lindsey will get what's coming to her." I simply nodded into his chest. He chuckled then.
"You know Gerard? I never officially asked you." He grinned down on me while I looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
"Asked me what?" He pushed me upward until we were both sitting eye to eye, me slouching a bit to make up for the height difference. His hazel eyes sparkled with amusement as he grabbed my hands.
"Gerard Way, will you be my kickass vampire boyfriend?" I smiled at him and his dorky ways.
"What if I say no?" I teased, already feeling slightly better. He scooted forward until his lips were a mere centimeters from mine.
"Well I could always make you..." Instead of kissing me like I had expected he began tickling me. I squirmed away, laughing until I couldn't take it anymore.
"Okay...Okay!" I gasped still laughing. "I guess so!" He stopped and I crossed my arms and faked a pout. It dissolved a second later though when Frank leaned forward and actually connected our lips this time.
My fingers went to his hair and laced into it as he pushed me backwards on the couch. I felt his tongue slide across my lip, and I granted him access, but only after I checked my self resistance. Our tongues swirled together, fighting for dominance as the kiss grew more heated. His hands trailed over my chest before finally slipping under the fabric of my shirt. We continued on that way, our hands roaming over each other before Frank had to pull away for breath. He stayed on top of me though, catching his breath.
"Do you know what boyfriends do?" He asked me after he had had a minute to slow down his breathing. Anal. My perverted mind supplied, and which I decided to ignore. He continued on, not waiting for my reply. "They move in together." He looked at me threw his lashes and bit his lip ring. "Move in with me Gee?"
My eyes widened and my mouth popped open in shock. Frank fucking Iero just invited me to move in with him. What ever did I do to deserve a boyfriend like him?
"Are-are you sure?" I asked timidly. "If this is just because I'm not gonna be able to live here anymore and you feel bad then no. I can live with Mikey or Ray if you're not ready yet." I bit my lip nervously and tried to avoid eye contact, which is hard to do if someone is laying on top of you. He laughed and leaned down to give me a quick kiss.
"Gee baby, I do feel bad about the whole situation," He admitted, "But I also want you to come live with me. I mean we practically do anyway. Please?" He gave me puppy dog eyes that we both knew I couldn't resist.
"Okay!" I consented.
"Yay! Thank you Gee!" He hugged me tightly, and I laughed at how childish he could act at times.
Looks like I was gonna move in with my boyfriend. Take that you masochistic bitch.
