Boys will be boys

I suddenly opened my eyes, it was pitch black outside so i presumed it was no where near morning yet. I could still feel Gerard in my arms, i could hear his gentle breathing. I decided to pick him up gently and place him on the covers, pulling the blankets over him. I watched as he wriggled around a little adjusting to the new position, i watched him for a little while, noticing his chest rise and fall. I decided i had to go to sleep so i made sure the door was locked before i got into my own bed, pulling the covers over myself to keep me warm as now it was a little colder than it was earlier, maybe they don't keep the heating on at night. My eyes soon began to flutter open and close until i finally fell asleep.

***TIME LAPSE***
I was soon woken up by Gerard nudging me a little and whispering my name 'Frankie' He said, gently nudging me again. I turned over to see him standing over me 'Yeah' i whispered, rubbing my eyes, i noticed it was lighter outside so i guessed it was now morning. 'Can i join you please?' He whispered, pointing to the bed. 'Sure' I said quietly, pulling the covers aside and patting it softly, He slid in next to me and snuggled up against me. I looked over at the time, the clock read 6:15 am, we would have to be up in 45 minutes or so to be ready for breakfast at 8, so i didn't mind staying awake until then with Gerard. 'How come you wanted to join me?' I giggled softly, wrapping my arms around him gently. 'I was lonely' He said, looking up at me, 'I thought you didn't mind being alone?' I said, watching as his eyes flicked from me to the window then back at me, 'But, i want your company' He whispered, holding me tighter, which made me realise what i had thought yesterday, maybe all he wanted was someone to care and show intimacy towards him, maybe then if he had somebody he wouldn't want to be lonely all the time, maybe if he had someone to talk too he wouldn't be so shy and reserved, and maybe, just maybe, that person was to be me? Which i don't mind at all. 'Thanks Gee' I said softly, smiling at him, he smiled back and began to play with my fringe as it was rather long, which i thought was cute. 'If you don't mind me asking, who do you hang with?' I said, 'Oh, some kid called Ray, he is nice, but I'm not really close or anything with him any more, i just see him around and we talk a little' He said, his face looking a little sadder now. 'How come?' I asked, 'Well, we've known each other since we have arrived but times change and we don't talk as much' he sighed, still tangling his fingers in my fringe. 'Oh' was all i managed to say, not that i was annoyed or anything, but the fact that Gerard really was lonely, yeah this Ray kid and him got along, but apart from the times they spoke he had nobody else, no one close to him that he could really open up too, i don't know much of what he had been through but i could see in his eyes that he was broken. 'Are you okay?' he whispered after a moment of silence, 'Yeah' I smiled, holding him tighter, i never wanted to let go of him, he was too fragile. I glanced at the time, it was now half past which relieved me as i wanted longer with Gerard. 'You care don't you, your not pretending...are you?' He whispered, looking at me through his big hazel eyes. 'Of cause i care, why would i pretend silly' I said softly, stroking his face a little, he smiled the most beautiful smile ever which made me feel really good, i really was making him happy. 'Thank you' He smiled, his dimples showing which made him look so cute. I smiled back and then he concentrated on my hair, still wrapping it around his finger, he tugged on it a little which hurt but i didn't complain, if anything i wanted him to do what he wanted to me, he could have hit me and i wouldn't have minded, because he needs the attention, the attention he has probably never got. 'Gee, do you ever go home, like...for holidays?' I said, breaking the silence and asking something that isn't my business but i wanted to know more about him. He stopped playing with my hair and looked at me 'No' He whispered, 'No, i never got along with my parents, plus i hate that place, i used to get beat up by most of the kids there' He said, his eyes watering a little. 'Oh' I said again, a slight feeling of guilt going through me. 'You'll never have to worry about anything any more, I'm here now' I whispered, kissing his forehead gently, i watched as his face lit up. I checked the time again and i decided that we should get ready if we were to be on time to breakfast, i stood up and hauled Gerard up, he bumped into me but laughed it off. 'Pick me a t shirt' I smiled, opening the wardrobe and allowing him to choose what he wanted to see me in, he thought for a little while before pulling out a misfits tee, 'This?' He said, holding it up for me too see, i smiled and took it from him, 'Yeah' I said. I dragged it on along with my skinny jeans and fixed my hair making sure i looked a little bit decent for my first proper day, not that i had anybody to really impress, but so i didn't look like a careless ass to the teachers, I had already been called a careless ass before, because i never used to bother, but i guess i might as well. Once i was ready i lit up a cigarette and stood by the window, taking huge drags. Gerard came out of the bathroom and he looked perfect in his Iron maiden t shirt and ripped jeans, i smiled at him as he walked over to me. 'Gonna show me then?' He smirked, I nodded and handed him the cigarette, 'Suck the smoke into your mouth, but don't inhale, then put your tongue in the way as you exhale, so the smoke goes around it, then you will have your smoke ring' I smiled, I watched as Gerard took a drag and then tried to do what i said, but choked, i patted his back a little, 'Don't worry about that' I smiled, he handed the cigarette back to me and shook his head indicating that he didn't like it, i giggled softly at him before finishing the cigarette, i checked the time and it was now time for breakfast, we left the room, locking the door behind us and Gerard lead me to the hall where hundreds of kids congregated. 'So where do we go?' I said, 'Follow me' Gerard smiled, leading me to a canteen where there were cereals and toast, i picked up some toast and smothered it in peanut butter, making sure i got it all the way to the edges. Gerard did the same but with butter, i frowned at him jokingly, 'You don't like jam or anything?' I giggled, he shook his head, 'Nope' He smiled, before concentrating on his toast. We finally went and sat down, Gerard showed me where he always sat, a little table in the corner, on his own, but from now on, he wouldn't be as this is where i sat too now. We eat our toast before heading to our first class, maths.
