Three Cheers for Red Hair and Love

Gerard finally trusted this boy, completely, although in his heart he knew that he was putting himself and his fragile heart in grave danger. But in his mind he hoped that he needn’t worry. Frank was here now, and that’s all that matters.

Ryan was an ever present though in Gerard’s head, but the sounds of his name no longer caused grief and despair so severe he felt like vomiting to pour from every pore in his body. Frank is healing me, he thought. Slowly, but surely.

Gerard was changing Frank too. He led him to discover a part of himself he never before knew even existed. And Gerard didn’t know it, but he made Frank feel something. And Frank didn’t often feel things.
