Kill This Venom From My Heart

We lay in bed, me just holding Gerard for a while and he curls into my side with his head resting on my chest, his arm slung over my waist so I pull out my phone, opening the camera and holding it above us, snapping a quick picture as I tilt my head to press a soft kiss to the top of Gerard's head and Gerard sits up a little, frowning at me as he says "What are you doing?" "Are you ready to go public baby?" I ask softly and he smiles wide and says "What are you thinking?" I smile back and open up twitter, posting the picture with the caption 'Happy Birthday to the love of my life, you're the most amazing person I've ever known and I wish you nothing but happiness always xo.' After the post has been made I hand my phone to Gerard and let him look at it, his face almost split in two as he drops it on the mattress beside us and launches himself on top of me, smashing his lips to mine and I wrap my arms around him, holding him close as I kiss back. Just as our making out starts to get heated a knock on the door breaks us apart and Donna calls down "Gee come up, there's people here to see you." Gerard sighs and rolls off me, laying on his back beside me and I reach out and take his hand, both of us panting to regain our breath and trying to get our erections to go down. After a few minutes I sit up and say "Come on birthday boy," dragging him off the bed with me and he groans and says "So many stairs" so I turn and bend down, letting him jump on my back before straightening up again and carrying him upstairs, halfway up his hands slipping up to cover my eyes and I laugh as I say "We're gonna die if you do that." Gerard giggles too and says "No we won't, keep going." "Well we may not die but I don't want to risk dropping and hurting you babe" I tell him and he sighs and slides his hands back down to rest around my shoulders.

The rest of the morning passes quickly and once Gerard's relatives leave we go down to the basement and pull on shoes and jackets, getting ready to go out so I can take him to lunch and when we come back upstairs his mom and dad call us into the living room. "Gerard today is a very special day and we had been planning on buying you a car but since your plans have changed we decided to just give you what we saved for that, to help you out with moving away for school." Donna hands Gerard a cheque for $5000 and his eyes widen as he looks back up and says "Mom, this is so much, I can't accept it all." Donna shakes her head and when Gerard turns to his dad he smiles and says "Son we just want you to have the best chance to be whatever you want to be" and Gerard gets up from his chair and pulls them both into massive hug, Donna starting to cry again and I sit back and watch with a massive smile on my face. When Gerard finally pulls away from them he takes my hand, pulling me up and telling them we're going out for lunch. "Have a good time boys" Donna tells us as we leave the room and once we're outside and walking down the street Gerard sighs and says "That was crazy. Should I just give the cheque to you? I mean I'll be living in your house and all." "No babe that's your money. Rent at my house is much simpler than money." "What is rent then?" He asks with a smirk on his face and I stop us, turning him to face me as I lean in and seal my lips to his, sliding my tongue into his mouth and we kiss heatedly for a few seconds, my hands sliding down to grab his ass before we pull apart and I smile at him and say "That on a daily basis." "Oh well that I can do" he tell me, letting out a little chuckle as we hold hands again and continue our walk. "But what about other stuff like helping out with bills and stuff? Should I get a job?" He asks after another block and I smile as I say "You can get a job if you like but you don't have to." Gerard nods before saying "I don't want to mooch off you or anything." "You won't be babe, it's fine" I tell him as we turn a corner and step onto the Main Street, wandering along so Gerard can decide where he wants to eat, my heart pounding in my chest as the ring box in my pocket feels like it's burning a hole in my leg, doubts about his answer starting to creep into my mind.
