Take My Hand And Don't Look Back
Well I Didn't Expect That
Gerard's POV
The rest of the school day went by slower than ever. I couldn't stop thinking about Frank! The way his hair fell in his eyes when he looked down, when he was thinking, he'd play with his lip ring, and the sparkle in his eye... It kills me. He's too amazing to describe with words.
I waited outside the school gates for Frank, as I saw Mikey walking in my direction; I forgot to tell him!
"Hey, Mikey, I'm going over to a friend's, would you be okay going home alone?" He gives me a suspicious smirk, and things got weird.
"Is this 'friend' a guy friend?" Now he's just playing with me. "Or is it a boyfriend?"
"Mikey shut the hell up, I just met the kid. Go home and do your stupid homework, okay? I'll call when I leave." I rolled my eyes becoming irritated with his attitude as he turns around to leave, flipping me off. I laugh and see Frank a few feet away smiling.
"I guess that's your brother?" He laughs, and oh my god his laugh is the cutest thing ever.
"Unfortunately..." He gives a half smile and we start to walk to his house, which was maybe 3 minutes tops. We talked about meaningless stuff, like how dumb some of the teachers are and how desperate the girls seemed.
"Are you dating any of those desperate girls, Mr. Iero?" I ask jokingly, and he laughs and started to blush.
"No, not at the moment. Most of them are out of my league, and so are the guys. It's hard to get a relationship here."
Wait.
Did he just say so are the guys??
"Are you gay?" I blurt out without thinking. My hands quickly rise to cover my mouth, as Frank doubles over in laughter. Is he homophobic? I'm so confused.
"No, I'm bi. I guess how I explained that, it seemed I'd be gay though, huh? How about you, bi, straight, gay, etcetera?"
How could this day get any better? This super amazing guy, and he's bi!
"I'm gay," I explained smiling stupidly. "I came out 2 years ago, and thankfully my parents were very open about it. I never actually had the guts to ask a guy out, nor have I ever been liked by a guy before, but still."
"Same... I've had girlfriends before but never a boyfriend." It looked like he was hiding a smile; was he making fun of me? Whatever, it's not the first time.
We arrived at Frank's house soon after. It was a nice 3 story, including a large basement.
"Damn..." I mumbled in awe.
Frank led me up to his room, telling me how his mom is barely ever home due to work, and his dad left them when he was young, so he's usually home alone. As I walked into the room, I started to laugh at the sight.
"What? Too dark?"
"No, not at all! It's just that it looks exactly like mine!" I giggled and noticed he had 4 of the same band posters as me, and a few pieces of merch that I have as well. I laughed a bit more and he motioned for me to sit on his bed.
"So, I was thinking, maybe we could take a walk? There's this really cool spot in the woods that I'd like to show you before it gets late."
"Sounds cool, lets go!" I said all too eagerly as I jumped up, visually excited.
We walked for about 5 minutes, when we got to a little clearing in the woods.There were logs set up all in a circle, a fire pit in the middle, and a little outside of the clearing was a tiny swing set. Obviously, I ran to the swing set first, and instantly started to enjoy myself. Frank ran over to join, and just decided to push me higher and higher until his arms got tired.
"Jesus, Gee, you're heavy," Enjoying the nickname he gave me, and noticing he was joking by the tone of his voice, I decided to play along.
"Jesus, Frankie, you're a whiney bitch!" He stuck his tongue out at me, and I made a stupid face back, making us both crack up hysterically.
Frank walked around to face me, and I stood up, just noticing the sun was starting to set. Frank was fiddling with his phone, giving a tiny smile.
"Here, put your number in, I had fun today." He gave a tiny laugh, and I plugged in each digit carefully, making sure not to type the wrong one.
We arrived back at Frank's house, and it was late, so I decided it was time to go home.
"Hey, man, thanks for letting me han-" I was stopped mid-sentence by a soft and genuine kiss, which sent chills up my spine. I kissed back, enjoying the moment, not wanting it to end. Frank then suddenly broke the embrace, looking embarrassed.
"I-I'm s-sorry, it's just t-that you're s-so nice and-" I stopped him mid-sententence this time, giving him a more passionate kiss. He hesitated, then kissed back with force. I could feel him smile, which made me smile as well. I broke the kiss, as calm as possible, and he ruffled my hair smiling like an idiot.
"T-thanks again" I said while turning to go home,
Best. Day. EVER.

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO HAPPENS TO READ THIS!
I'm the author of this story- I lost my account after stupidly deleting my Tumblr which is connected to this specific account that I wrote the story on. I finally decided to get my act together and start the sequel today, March 15th, 2016. Please forgive me for my terribly late start on this. Nothing is posted but hopefully will be soon. Glad to be back everyone :)
