I'll never let them hurt you, I promise

Frank~~

After waking up I roll over and grab my phone, unlocking it and immediately getting partly blinded by the brightness, I quickly wipe my sleep crusty eyes before taking another quick glance at the phone only to read the time. 10:30 that's early for me, specially on Sunday morning, I think about going back to sleep but after closing my eyes for another ten minutes i realise I've no luck, my brain is already awake and urging me to get up.
As I sit up and shuffle until my feet are hanging over the edge of the bed frame I remember promising Gerard id go round to his today. also I need to thank him for last night.
I grab my phone again and send a text to Gerard
"its super early but I still plan on coming round so you better be awake.xo"
he probably wont be awake at this godly hour but when he does I should at least warn him that im coming over.
I drag my body out of my bedroom and into the bathroom, realising the house is quite ad wondering where my mum is. I strip down and jump in the shower, lazily washing myself and my hair before rinsing off then jumping back out. I wrap a towel around my hips, brush my teeth and take a quick glance in the mirror, running my free hand through one side of my hair I realise the shaven sides need a trim desperately. although being as lazy as I am I decide against doing it today, after finishing brushing my teeth i head back into my bedroom. I dry my body and hair before slipping on some blue boxers, denim jeans ripped at the knees and a AC/DC top then my black jacket.
I grab my phone and wallet before heading down stairs. I head into the kitchen ready to see my mother cooking over the stove for Sunday lunch but in fact I am greeted with an empty kitchen, everything in its normal place apart from a yellow sticky note on the side counter. I walk over to it turning the coffee machine on as I do, It reads:
"I got called into work this morning, sorry Frankie, see you tonight x"
oh ok I guess im alone this morning, well its not as if I was planning on staying inside too long anyway, i glance next to the sticky note and notice a small stack of money and smile to myself knowing my mum will have left it so I could get food and stuff like that. although I've got better plans for it.
I make a coffee and sit with it on the backyard porch lighting up and cigarette also and finishing both of them in record time. I head back inside wash my cup and decide its now a suitable time to go out into town its almost noon after all. I take a glance at my phone as I step out of the front door ready to lock it after me but having no texts to reply to.

I walk into town slowly, plugging my earphone in my mobile before turning my volume up to its highest. rocking my head to the beat while smoking another two cigarettes before actually getting into the town centre. my first stop is the most exciting, I cant let Gerard take me out to a fancy place for a fancy meal without doing something cute in return.
I turn into one of the towns best florist after stubbing out my cigarette and turning my music off and taking the ear plugs out.
the woman which works there is lovely and in no time im walking back outside the store with a really big bunch of red roses in my hand, wrapping in black and red wrapping with a note stuck in the middle with my big soppy hand write saying "I love you" I feel proud of myself remembering how the florist lady awwwed me as I wrote the note while I continue to walk to my next destination.
However on my way to the small café on the edge of town closest to Gerard's house I pass the movie theatre and there nights events catch my eye immediately. I instantly know Gerard would love it also so i grab two tickets for tonight at six which only makes me feel even prouder. I know I planned to have a lazy day at Gerard but who can resist a 80's horror film marathon. not Gerard and specially not me.
After buying the tickets I continue to walk until finally reaching the tiny café, I grab one coffee and one hot chocolate to take out and again im on my way walking down the sparse streets. although now I have a hand full of things to carry its a good thing it doesn't take me long to reach Gerard house which is lucky for me as my fingers burn under the no so safety cups containing boiling water.

I quickly knock on the front door, loud and fast making sure the person who answer knows I desperately need to put these cups down. the door is opened within seconds and a smile grows quickly across my lips as Gerard stands there rubbing his tired eyes.
"hi baby" I exclaim loudly, probably to energetic for an early Sunday afternoon
"hey babe" he answer slowly and I quickly shove the coffee into his hands feeling relived when the heat leaves my palm. obviously Gerard's face lights up immediately at the smell of coffee. I let myself in walking past the still half asleep Gerard and into the kitchen waiting for him to follow me.
"you got me coffee that's cute" he whisper over the top of the mug as he takes a swig of it
"yeah well I also got you these" I say waving the massive bunch of follows around in the air to divert his attention to them. he places his coffee down a surprised look on his face as he take the roses out of my hand
"frank, you don't have to buy me flowers" he says looking over them "roses in fact" he corrects himself after inspecting them, I put my cup down on the table before walking over to him
"I wanted to" I whisper before taking them back out his hand and putting them on the table as well and wrapping my arms around his neck bringing him down into a hug. I relax once I feel his arms around my waist and pull him closer to me
"I just wanted to say thank you for last night" I tell him honestly as I squeeze my face into the crook of his neck breathing in his sent.
he hums into the hug before pulling away from me
"tease" the words spill from one side of his mouth and confuse me, I raise an eyebrow
"you smell of cigarettes" he continues before wrapping me up in his arms again smile wide and pushing his nose against my skin and breathing in.
once the hug is broken again I reach into my pocket and pull out my packet , throwing it at him and watching as he catches them
"I walk all this way, with burning cups of coffee and roses in my hands and you want cigarettes" I say before fishing out the lighter and throwing that at him as well. I giggle at him a little as I watch him put the packet in the pocket of the sweat pant his wearing and going around to the kitchen sink, whispering
"thank you Frankie, they're beautiful" glancing over at the red petals before
pulling out a vase from a cupboard filling it with water before coming back around grabbing his coffee and heading out the kitchen after shouting
"bring them for me babe" I assume he's talking about the roses so I grab them and my hot chocolate before following him to his bedroom, obviously checking his ass out all the way then shutting the door behind us when we get inside.
"where's everyone?" I ask watching as Gerard takes the roses un warps them and places them in the vase, setting them on his desk before walking over and sitting on the bed with his back against the head board. I follow his lead and sit next to him, cup in hand.
"mum and jaylins mum are working, jay slept out at nina's and mikey went out with pete this morning" the last part brings a smirk onto Gerard's lips as he take another sip at the warm drink.
"pete as in Patrick and pete?" I ask and he just looks at me and nods
"except there not Patrick and pete, apparently its Patrick his girlfriend and pete third wheeling" he says giggling this time when he finishes his sentence
I giggle along with his sipping at my drink before putting it down onto he bed side table next to me, looking over at Gerard for a moment but I must have a smirk on my face because he immediately asks
"what?" a smile creeping across his lips, suddenly my mind starts to wonder, why im I only seeing him smile in certain time? normal Gerard is all smiles and laughing wen I come round, all hugs and kisses, today he just looks tired, dull skin and back rings around his eyes, my brain ponders on the though. maybe its genuinely just a lack of sleep that's making him act different, yeah that's defiantly it if something was wrong Gerard would tell me... right?
were past the point of secrets.
"what?" I hear for a second time snapping my away from my thoughts to see a not so smiling Gerard looking at me with a more concerned look on his face.
I begin " I know you wanted to have a lazy day or whatever but I bought us some ticket for the movies" his smile is instantly back but then gone a second later as he looks like his thinking deeply before asking
"what movie" which makes me giggle a little, he had to think hard just to ask that simple question, I grab the tickets and pass them too him
"there's a 80's horror movie marathon" I declare "you in?" I ask using my elbow to nudge him a little as he glances from the tickets to me then back to the tickets
"of course im fucking in" he say in an almost shouting voice, I think he's a little excited
"language" I say in a joking manner before pouncing on him and wrapping my arms around his neck for a hug as my legs straddle his lap.
"your the best boyfriend Frankie" he says as I pull back to look in his eyes, my heart swelling in my chest a little
"I already said that to you" I say smiling " you cant copy what I say" joking with him before tilting my head a little and leaning down to seal our lips together.
"okay, well I love you" is what he says when he pull away
"I love you more" I say with a smirk, kissing his lips again to stop the giggles which was about to consume us both.
