What are you doing to me?

The whole pancake thing was a huge and amazing surprise. All of this. For me. After everything that happened last night, he was singing and dancing around my kitchen, in my shirt, without any pants on, to please me. My heart fluttered at the memory.
We were well on our way to go see Dr. Maria and I could tell Frank was still trying to remember last night. This happened right after Jorge had gotten ' taken care of'
Frank shut it out of his head and had to go see a therapist for weeks before his memory got triggered. But, Maria was the best in Jersey, so this shouldn't be like last time. I pulled into the parking lot for the doctor's office and took Frank's clammy hand in my own. He sighed 'it happened again, didnt it? I shut it out again, didnt I? Godammit' I kissed his knuckles ' We won't know for sure until we talk to her. Lets go inside and find out, okay? I want nothing but the best for you- and she is the best.' he looked up at me warily 'okay, Gee'

After waiting for about an hour or so, we got called back. It was a humble little office, with calming quotes painted around the room and relaxing music playing. The tape stopped and the doctor extended her hand to both of us.
'hello, I am Dr. Maria, and I am here to help sort this out. You must be Gerard, I believe we talked over the phone this afternoon?' she said to Frank. He chuckled ' actually, my name is Frank. I'm the one who is the cause for us being here' she smiled sheepishly and turned to me. ' my apologies, please, sit and tell me what's been going on. We briefly got into the subject over the phone- and I would like to get more into detail about it.' we sat on the sofa in the corner as she took place at her desk.

I told her what happened, from the start of the damned toxic relationship to what happened yesterday. Even explained what happened the last time he shut out the memories.
She looked at Frank and then back to me. ' Mr. Way, I know you're here for support and such, but I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the room for the remains of the hour. This is something that Mr. Iero needs to do alone' I hesitated for a few and then shook my head stubbornly
' I apologize, doctor, but there is no way in hell I am going to leave Frankie alone to deal with this. I'd do everything and anything to make sure he's okay- physically and mentally. I believe this qualifies as one of those things.' Frank out his hand on my shoulder and have an encouraging squeeze
' it'll be alright, Gee. She's a professional, she knows what she's doing. I'll catch you up on everything later, don't worry' he smiled weakly and kissed my cheek 'whatever. But I'll be waiting right outside that door. If anything's too much for you, let me know an we'll leave, okay?' he nodded his head and I got up to wait outside.

Notes

Sort of a short, crappy, fuller chapter. But, the next one will be a lot longer and better (hopefully)
