The Highways I Call Home

Gerard and Frank awkwardly walked away from the bathroom. They made their way up to the counter, each desperately hoping they'd be able to continue their moment.

Gerard ordered a coffee and turned towards Frank. "Let me buy you one. I owe you for spilling yours earlier."

"Spilling it and falling on me," Frank said giggling.

"Oh, how can I ever repay you for that?" Gerard asked sarcastically, moving towards Frank seductively.

"By falling on top me again." he replied quieter before lunging towards Gerard and planting another kiss onto his lips.

Before they got too into it, the lady who had been taking their orders cleared her throat making an obnoxious "hem hem!" sound. They separated and Frank ordered his coffee. Gerard payed and they picked up their drinks.

"Wanna sit down?" Gerard asked, motioning towards the nearest table. They sat and drank in silence, occasionally making eye contact before blushing and looking out the window.

Frank examined the man infront of him. His long black hair and greasy and disheveled, yet somehow seemed to perfectly frame his face. His hazel eyes were bright and beautiful, yet dark underneath, indicating a lack of sleep. He was curious what his life was like.

"Do you live around here?" He asked, hoping they could turn out to be neighbors and be able to have their own little secret love affair. That would be awesome.

"Ya, see that car out there? The old one by the door? Yep that is my house." he said chuckling at first as if it were some kind of joke and then awkwardly fiddling with his cup.

He lived in his car? How aweful!

"Why?" Frank asked, hoping to not offend him.

"I kind of just left home and had no where else to go but the road."

"Where are you from?"

"Belleville New Jersey. "

Frank spit out his coffee, accidentally splattering it down his shirt and on the table.

"No frickin way!" he exclaimed. "Me too!"

Gerard laughed at his sudden outburst and smiled. "That's cool! Weird I've never seen you before.."

"Ya. I went to a school more out of town, that's probably why. But it's too bad I just moved here.. We could've been friends." Frank said, frowning. They lived so far apart..

"Well I'm basically moving also, so we can still be friends." Gerard said, grabbing Franks hand. "I could stay here.."

Frank's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Ya.. I uh.. you're.. you're worth staying for." he mumbled, flashing a shy smile at Frank. Before he could say any more, their lips had met again.
