“I am a vampire.” He said, face serious. “...And I've been finding myself falling in love with a human and it's hurting me and it's not supposed to be that way so I just....I thought you'd like if...”

Frank was trying to figure out what he was saying, heart racing as it was all starting to make sense.

“Are you trying to turn me!?” He screamed, scooting to the corner of his bed, further aware from him.

“Trying? I uh...no...I uh...it started as feeding but now it's uh—you're already in the stages, Frank. You're a vampire.” Gee looked down at his own hands, feeling ashamed.

Frank's gut sank, “What in the world made you think that was a good idea!? Oh my god-- Gee-- what the fuck where you thinking?! What the hell is going to happen to me!?”

“I was thinking we could fall in love and live together!” Gee defended, “I-I've never had any friends-- You're my first. I just...”

Frank was glaring at him, “You didn't what?”

“I didn't want to see my first love die before me...” Gee whispered, looking back up at him, “...I know...I should've asked. But you were going to say no! I can't just go up to someone and say, 'hey, I'm a vampire. I'm going to turn you so we can stay bffs forever.' It doesn't work that way! It never does!”

Frank was gasping, having a slight panic attack. “Y-you--- all my friends--- Gee! If I turn! I'm going to outlive my dogs-- my mom! My fucking friends! What the fuck!?” He shoved Gee right off the bed, panting. “You are going to turn me into a murderer! Gee! I can't—what the fuck!?”

Gee tried to keep calm, tensing up at his hostility.”...I love you, Frank. Please. You have to understand--”

“Don't fucking talk to me.”

Silence.

Gee's eyes went wide, a glint of red and pain shooting through them. Frank's chest was heaving, still trying to grasp everything. He fell back onto his bed, pointing to the window.

“I want you out of my house. I don't want you to ever come back, you piece of shit. You fucking hear me? You ruined my life, now it's my turn to ruin your's--”

“My life was already ruined, Frank!” Gee hissed, “I lost my family! Fuck-- my own brother thinks I'm dead! When really, I'm in the same goddamn town as him, trying to fuck his friend.”

“...His friend...?” Frank's voice softened, blinking slowly.

The light set in through the fabric of the curtains, letting it hit Gee's face. The features started to really shine. His jaw...eyes...brows...mouth... Everything was almost an exact copy of his friend.

“I'm Gerard.” He said finally, curling his hands into fists, glaring into Frank's soul. “I watch him every day. He's cried for me...and I can't show my face around him! He-- he wouldn't accept this! And now...I get to watch him die before my eyes. At least you don't have siblings.”

“Fuck....fuck...” Frank was gasping again, reaching out for Gerard. “Gee-- Gee--- I didn't know-- fuck. Why didn't you--”

“Tell you? Oh maybe because you're best friends with him and you would've told him!” He groaned, stepping away from him. “Forget about it, Frank. You hate me. Tell him all you want. He won't believe you.”

“B-but you don't even want to try? What the hell? He's your damn brother, Gee! He loves you to death! Just tell him!”

“You know how long it took for me to bring up the courage to talk to you? Years. I've been crushing on you for years...and we ran into each other that day...I totally planned it-- I just.” He wiped his eyes, “Whatever. You hate me. It doesn't matter.”

“I don't hate you.” Frank said, “I-I'm sorry I snapped-- but it's not everyday I get told I'm a vampire!”

“I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!” Gee sighed, “I'm sorry...please...I'm sorry.”

Frank sighed with him, deciding against kicking him out. Instead, he walked up to him and brought his arms around his neck, kissing him softly.

“You're the first boyfriend I've had. I mean...fuck. You killed that person. You killed those people. I shouldn't be accepting this-- but I am.” He kissed his cheek again, “You taught me to accept that part of me. And I thank you for that.”

Gee sniffled, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. “T-thank you, Frank.”

“You have to make two promises with me though, if we're really going to do this.”

“Yeah. Yeah...anything.” Gerard purred, running his hands down Frank's sides.

Frank pulled away slightly, “One, you tell Mikey. We'll tell him together. Hell, if things work out, he may become a vamp too. Ray too even.”

“Frank-- it's not that easy--”

“And two...” Frank kissed his lips again quickly, “No more killing.”

“Frank, I can't-- we can't--”

“We can, and we'll find a way.”

Gee tightened his grasp on Frank, nodding slowly. Their promises were now set in stone.
