Eternity Is An Unbearable Thought

Frank woke up to a crash in his kitchen, the noise startled him, causing him to fall out of the bed. He slowly crawled to the door. Upon opening it he discovered a man, scratch that vampire, tearing apart the house. Frank gasped, causing the vampire to look towards him with a sickeningly sweet smile.

"Hello little human." He began walking towards Frank. Frank attempted in crawling away, but the vampire grabbed his ankle, dragging him back into the living room and slamming him onto the couch. He moved to straddle Frank and hold him still. "Shh… it’s okay, you know what? You’re pretty, how ‘bout a little fun before you die, yeah?" He grasped the waistband of Frank’s pajama pants.

Frank was not getting raped. That cannot happen. No. He began thrashing around trying to throw the man off of him, but the vampire was strong and held him down. Just as Frank was about to give up and except the mental scarring, there was a flash, and the pressure was
lifted from Frank’s body.

He looked up to see Gerard punching random vampire guy in the face, eliciting a sickening crack from the man’s nose.

"Get in the car Frank?" Gerard breathed venomously.

"W-why?" Frank’s usual spitfire attitude was failing him, but can you really blame him? He just narrowly escaped rape and murder.

"No questions. go outside and get in the damn car."

Frank obeyed. When in the passenger side of the car he just sat there, looking dumbly at how the streetlight reflected off of the road. When Gerard finally returned he just kept staring forward.

"You okay." Gerard asked sympathetically.

"Why do you keep doing this?" Frank asked finally turning to Gerard.

"I just can’t take the thought of you being hurt, or touched, or killed. I don’t know why, I just want you to be okay." He finished.

"Well, I’m not okay." Frank said truthfully, he really wasn’t. His mom was dead, he had one friend at school, if you’d consider Ray a friend, he was really more of an acquaintance, and now he has to deal with a vampire bodyguard. Of course he appreciated that Gerard saved him, but it also meant Gerard had been watching his house, and Frank didn’t know how to feel about that.

"I know, I just can’t take it, the thought of you being with someone else." He then leaned forward and captured Frank’s lips, leaving Frank tense and not knowing what to do. "God damn it Frank, kiss back."

So Frank did, he hesitantly worked his lips against Gerard’s, and when Gerard poked his tongue out to taste Frank’s mouth, Frank let him do it. Gerard laced his fingers through Frank’s soft hair, Frank slowly bringing his hands up to Gerard’s face, lightly caressing his cheek. He couldn’t deny he was enjoying this.

Frank thought of something. "I thought vampires could only be with fertiles." He said pulling away from the kiss. Gerard rested his forehead against Frank’s, staring at him for a moment.

"Technically, yes. But I don’t care. I want you."

Frank was a little overwhelmed, but accepted it nonetheless. Gerard pulled away and began driving. "Where are we going?" Frank asked.

"My house."

"No, no way. I’ve known you for like, what two fucking days?" Frank shouted. "I am not living with you."

"You have no choice, you almost get killed every day, I don’t even know how you made it this far." Gerard scoffed.

"No, I am not doing this. This is fucking ridiculous." Frank was angry, as usual.
Gerard slammed on brakes jolting Frank forward.

"It is not up for discussion, Frank." Gerard seemed angry, his eyes turning red with the rage, causing Frank to flinch. Gerard’s face softened. "I’m sorry Frank, I do have a bit of a temper problem, but trust me, I will not allow myself to hurt you. I just need you to stay with me for about a week, then I can buy you an apartment or something."

"No Gerard, I don’t need-"

"Shut up Frank. You’re not living in an abandoned house." Frank had gathered that Gerard didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so he just sat there quietly until they pulled up to a large house.

The inside was just as grand, large and spacious. Gerard led Frank to a room upstairs.
"My brother can’t know you’re here yet, I will try to explain everything to him in the morning,
and I can just sleep on the floor."

Frank nodded, he wasn’t going to let Gerard share a bed with him, he isn’t a whore. Frank slid into the soft bed and passed out in little under five minutes.
…
Frank woke up sweating, Gerard stood over him with a worried expression as Frank tried to catch his breath. Frank knew what this meant; he was getting sick, fuck his shitty immune system.

"Fuck, I have a fever." Frank sighed, flopping back onto the mattress.

Gerard placed a hand on Frank’s head, and Frank couldn’t help but lean into the touch, Gerard’s hand was cool on Frank’s overheated head. "Holy shit. You’re hand is better than an icepack." Frank commented, biting back the urge to ask Gerard to lay with him, but Gerard got the message anyway and slid in next to Frank.

Frank didn’t want to, but he couldn’t help it, Gerard was so cold, so he pushed in as close as possible, burying his face into the crook of Gerard’s neck. Gerard wrapped his arms around Frank, as much as he didn’t want to admit it, Frank was enjoying the closeness. He knew he felt something for Gerard; he just couldn’t come to terms with it at the moment, so he just ignored all of the confusing urges to kiss Gerard again and fell asleep.

The last thing he heard was, "I just want you to be okay."
