Kill This Venom From My Heart

"You're wearing it" I say softly, almost to myself as I reach out and grab Gerard's wrist, bringing his hand closer so I can inspect the ring. "Well yeah we're engaged right? Shouldn't I be wearing a ring?" I freeze, turning my gaze from his hand to his face and Gerard smiles softly and says "I mean, I thought that's what happens when two people agree to marry, they wear rings and...." But he's cut off by me surging forward and smashing my lips to his, Gerard kissing back just as eagerly and when the kiss breaks I pant out "So yes?" "Of course it's a yes" Gerard tells me, smiling wide and shaking his head at me. "But....what you said I thought...." I stammer out, my heart pounding in my chest and my thoughts are swirling in confusion. "I wasn't saying no, I just wanted to be sure you really thought about it and were sure of what you were asking, I'm so sorry you thought I would say no." "No, I'm sorry for not hearing you out I just....it sounded like you were saying no and I had been terrified all day of asking, trying to pick a perfect moment and it felt like my whole body was shutting down and I couldn't face you." "Frankie" Gerard says softly and I look into his eyes, waiting for him to speak again. "I love you, don't ever doubt that." "I love you too" I say, smiling wide before I lean in for another kiss, this one slower and filled with everything we feel but can't express in words.

After we manage to pull ourselves apart we slowly walk back to the hotel hand in hand, using our room card to get back into the lobby and when we get inside I turn to Gerard and ask "What now?" "Well, we have the room for another 9 hours so how about we go back to bed?" I smirk as I raise an eyebrow as I say "To sleep?" "Well, yeah I guess" Gerard says uncertainly and I chuckle as I say "Come on," sliding my hand down Gerard's back to gently squeeze his ass as I guide him across the lobby to the elevator. "Frankie" Gerard giggles as he tries to squirm away from my touch and I chuckle as I lean in and start gently sucking on his neck. "There's no one around baby, it's ok" I whisper in his ear, gently nipping at his earlobe but I'm interrupted by the elevator doors opening and I reluctantly pull away so we can both step inside. Once we reach our floor Gerard steps out into the hallway, grabbing my hand and pulling me along behind him and I grow impatient, quickly speeding up and getting ahead of him, pulling him along behind me and Gerard giggles as we reach the door. "Someone's eager" he giggles out as I open the door and I tug him inside, Gerard kicking it closed behind us and I lead him over to the bed before I turn back and press another kiss to his lips, quickly working on unbuttoning his shirt again as he works on mine and once we're both in our boxers I pull away and guide Gerard onto the bed, climbing on with him and he pulls the blankets over us. "Frankie" Gerard says softly and I pant softly as I stare into his eyes. "Yeah babe?" "Can we just....will you just hold me?" "Of course baby" I tell him, laying back and letting Gerard snuggle into my side, reaching out to flick the light off before wrapping my arms around him and we lay in silence, just holding each other and listening to each other breathe.
