The Highways I Call Home

The sun was still out, shining down on Gerard and Frank as they layed down on the vacant beach to dry off, covering their private areas with their shirts. Frank was curious why the beach was so empty. Gerard found the perfect spot! Nobody passed by or anything. He didn't have to feel bad or self concious about himself-- Gerard was the only one to see, and now, he didn't mind that.

"I might actually get tan now!" Gerard laughed, gesturing towards his blindingly pale, perfect body.

"I'm afraid we'll get burnt!" Frank announced, laughing.

Gerard reached over and brushed a strand of hair from Frank's face. He blushed, turning his face a rosy red. "I'd like to see your whole body that color," Gerard said with a cute wink.

"Very funny," Frank stuck his tongue out, causing them both to laugh and then continue to lay down in a comfortable silence.

"We should do this more often," Gerard said, smiling up at the blue sky.

"Yes we should!" Frank agreed wholeheartedly. This was the best time he'd ever had with someone.

They chatted casually about their favorite bands and memories from New Jersey. Gerard always avoided his more recent memories and would occasionally show a pained expression, but Frank didn't pry, afraid it was a sensitive subject.

"I barely ever went to the beach in Jersey," Frank sighed, looking out over the water. "I didn't realize how beautiful it was."

"Same," Gerard said absently, fiddling with his hands.

"Do you want to go walk?" Frank asked.

"Yeah, we're about dry!"

They stood up and brushed the sand off that caked their bodies. Then they pulled on their clothes and walked down the beach, hand in hand.

"Hey, you aren't putting your jacket on!" Gerard exclaimed, a big smile lighting up his face.

Frank shrugged. "Well it's hot out.."

Gerard grabbed Frank's face and planted a big kiss on his lips. Frank smiled, enjoying how much Gerard cared. He didn't feel self concious. He didn't need to hide anymore. Gerard was his and he knew about everything. The scars would fade away soon enough. He was happy now.
