Kill This Venom From My Heart

After Gerard and I drag ourselves out of the shower it's almost time to check out so we redress and leave the room hand in hand, going downstairs and checking out before heading out to the car and going back to his house. When we go inside no one else is home so Gerard goes upstairs to leave the keys in his parents room while I go down to the basement and I call the airline and book another ticket on the flight for the next day, managing to get my ticket changed so we are sitting together and charging the extra ticket to my credit card and I'm just finishing up the call when Gerard comes down the stairs with two steaming cups of coffee and I smile wide at him as I hang up and toss my phone onto the bed, crossing the room to press a kiss to his lips as I take the cup he's offering me. I take a sip and groan in delight as I say "Mmm baby this is perfect, you're gonna make an amazing house husband" and Gerard giggles before saying "So that's all you want me for?" "Well...." I trail off and Gerard reaches out and playfully slaps my arm. I chuckle as I step forward and wrap my free arm around his waist and say "I want you because I love you like a ridiculous amount and you're so beautiful and you make me happy and I want to wake up every day for the rest of my life and have your beautiful face be the first thing I see and I want to fight with you over really stupid stuff and then make up ten minutes later and I want.....I just want you, forever." Gerard smiles wide as he leans in and rests his forehead against mine. "I love you" he says softly, his slightly coffee scented breath washing over my lips and I smile as I say "I love you too and I plan on telling you that and showing you just how much every day for the rest of our lives." Gerard leans in and presses a soft kiss to my lips before pulling away, leaving me wanting more as he steps back and walks over to his desk, sitting his coffee down and rummaging through papers on the desk until he finds the ones he's looking for. "So I've been drawing a lot lately and you said you would want to use some of my art for band stuff so I drew these. You don't have to use them or anything, I know they're probably not very good but...." He trails off as he hands the papers to me and I look through them, my eyes widening at how amazing they are and one in particular stands out and I can't stop looking at it. "Baby this is incredible. You'd really let us use this?" "If you want it, I mean I can draw something different if you want." "Can I take these to show the guys?" I ask and Gerard smiles and nods and I smile back as I say "I can't believe how talented you are."

Later that night after Gerard's parents get home we go upstairs for dinner and while we're all sitting around the table Gerard tells his parents he's coming home with me tomorrow. Donna's mouth drops open before she says "But you only just finished...." "No no mom I'm not moving now I'm just going for a little while, I'll be back." Donna sighs in relief and I reach out under the table and gently squeeze Gerard's hand, offering him a smile when he looks over at me. After dinner we go back down to the basement and Gerard packs a bag, tidying his room ready to leave the next day before we go back upstairs and go into the living room, Gerard picking a movie while I tell him I'm using the bathroom and on my way back I bump into Mikey in the hallway. "Hey Mikey we're about to watch a movie, you wanna join us?" His eyes widen as he says "Really?" "Uh, yeah, it's ok if you don't want to." "No, I'll be in in a minute." I nod before heading back into the living room and I settle beside Gerard on the couch, letting him cuddle up into my side and just as we start the movie Mikey comes in with two bowls of popcorn, offering Gerard and I the bigger one before he takes a seat on the recliner couch across the room with his own. Gerard looks up at me with confusion written all over his face and I just smile down at him as I sit the bowl on my lap and pick up a piece, bringing my hand up to stick it in his mouth and Gerard giggles softly before he starts chewing, turning his head back to look at the tv and I tighten my arm around his waist, feeling my heart flutter at having him so close.
