My -High School- Romance

Frank walked out of the school, his head hanging, and a big plaster across the top of his nose. He saw Gerard standing over by the road and smiled a little to look strong.
"Woah, hey Frank, you were awesome earlier!" Gerard looked down at his feet. "Sorry, I mean, are you okay?"
Frank smiled. "Yeah, got a detention though. So apparently kicking a guy in the nuts and swearing is against the rules?"
"Yeah, it took me a while to get to grips with the rules too, don't worry." Gerard sighed. "In my first to weeks I managed to get beat up and I got excluded for truancy."
"Damn." Frank's smile faded.
An awkward silence filled the air and neither of them talked for a moment. Until-
"Don't worry, we can go in a bit. You're boyfriend Mikey'll be here in a minute." Gerard said teasingly, trying desperately to break the ice.
Frank sniggered. "Why the fuck would you think that?" He said.
"Sorry, it was just a joke."
Frank looked nervously back. "Right..."
Gerard looked thoughtfully at Frank. "What's up?"
"Nothing. Why would you say that? Did he tell you I'm gay? Is that why?"
Gerard paused. "No he didn't. I kind of guessed though..."
"Oh I'm sorry, I hope it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable or whatever..." Frank frowned and started to twiddle his thumbs nervously.
"Oh don't worry." Gerard's face twisted into a smile, and he winked. "It takes one to know one, I guess." His voice went down to a whisper. "Please don't tell anyone?"
*****
'It takes one to know one?' What the fuck were you thinking you idiot. And a wink?! Are you fucking kidding me. Gerard was screaming internally. He hadn't come out to anyone, and he had just told a guy he hardly knew that he was gay. And he winked. What the actual fuck. And what if Mikey found out? Oh my God.
"You okay?" Mikey asked.
Gerard continued to viciously scrape his pancake off the pan, his eyes narrowed with concentration.
Mikey smiled. It was an amusing thing to watch his bed-headed brother try to scrape off the burnt mess that was apparently a "pancake" in his manky old band tee.
But then he stopped smiling.
"Gee you okay?" He frowned now.
His brother continued to scrape furiously at the pan, not looking over to his brother. "Yeah."
Mikey walked over and put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Stop."
Gerard put the pan down and sighed. He looked back at Mikey. "What?"
"You always make pancakes when you're upset, so what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Gerard sighed. Something was wrong though. He fucked up. He fucked up bad. "Have you heard from Frank recently then?" Gerard asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"Nah, he's not answering my messages." He showed Gerard his phone. "Hey, Gee... did you upset him?" Mikey raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Gerard shook his head. "Nope, I don't think so." He said, taking his eyes off Mikey. He poured the burnt pancake into the trash.
"Okay, but you're still okay with meeting up with him?"
Oh shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. Gerard forgot about that. "Yeah of course." Shit shit shit shit. No, I'm not okay. Oh my god.
Mikey returned to his phone. "Alright, cool. I'll tell him now."
Shit shit shit.
*****
Gerard pulled his bag over his back and set out into town with Mikey. Gerard walked head down, watching his black DMs kick the shit out of a tin can.
"Hey, Mikey?" Gerard frowned.
"Yeah?"
Gerard looked up at him and kicked the tin can into the road. "Why didn't you tell me Frank was gay? He told me."
Mikey paused. "Well he really didn't want me to tell anyone else." He adjusted his glasses. "Hey, why do you care anyways?"
"I don't know..." Gerard exhaled loudly.
Then there was an awkward silence. Jesus Christ, can't you just say something, Gerard thought to himself. You're such a pathetic little shit, you can't even talk to your own brother. Gerard's stomach churned. And what are you going to do when you see Frank, eh? What are you going to do?
Silence.
The pressure of the quiet filled Gerard's head. Oh crap. His worries spun the world around him, and went into a daze. Gerard could feel his heart beating faster and faster.
Suddenly he fell over, and lay there on the ground unconcious.
