I Believe We're the Enemy

Frank slumped in the firm chair besides Gerard’s bed. Frank looked at Gerard who was snuggled underneath the sheets, eyes shut. His chest rose and fell softly as small snores escaped his perky nose. Frank gave a small smile and whispered, “I love-”
Ms. Iero walked in the room, a tray in her hands. She said, “The cafeteria has great selections.” She set the tray on the small counter beside the bed. She scanned through the items, “There was chocolate milk but I found strawberry milk which is more sweeter, there’s carrots, oh! And graham crackers…!” Frank’s mom praised the food, but Frank tooned out as his eyes met Gerard’s. Frank was a bit startled, but relieved. Frank smiled, “How do ya feel?”
Gerard sat up, “I still feel like sh-” He stopped when his eyes met Ms. Iero. He smiled lightly as his eyes stared into her bright hazel eyes, raven curly hair and pearly white smile. Gerard said, “Frankie, you didn’t tell me your sister was coming.”
Ms. Iero blushed, “I’m his mother.”
“What? No,” Gerard grinned, “Well, I’m surprised.”
Frank should've known Gerard would’ve turned on his charm to get on his mom’s good side. Ms Iero smiled, the small dimples underneath the corners of her grin deepened, “I’m flattered. Frank, is this the boy you’ve been talking about? He’s the opposite of what you mentioned.”
Frank looked at his mom, “That was the first time I met him-”
“What did you say about me?” Gerard asked, maintaining his smile.
“I-”
Ms. Iero cutted in, “He said you were stuck-up.”
“Oh?” Gerard grinned, looking at Frank, “What else?”
“Does it matter?” Frank implied, a little annoyed.
Gerard smiled lightly, which made Frank take back the annoyance. Frank looked away with a smile and teased, ¨You got your ass kicked.”
Gerard frowned, “Yeah, but I’ll manage.” Gerard smiled, “Besides, when I’m back at my feet, we’re going to end this once and for all.”
Frank frowned, “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean we’re going to visit Rogen.”
