Mute

Gerard's pov*

Linda is so enthusiastic about Frank and I.. It's really quite disturbing!
We've been sat watching movies, Frank with his arm wrapped around my shoulders, and me with my head on his chest, but Linda keeps staring at us, with this big grin on her face, that kinda reminds me of the Joker.. Wait!.. Since when do I remember the Joker? Hey!.. Maybe my memory's coming back.. But wow!.. what a random first thing to recall!!
It's nearly 7 o'clock when Linda realises that she forgot to start dinner "Frank!.. Why didn't you remind me?"
"Oh, sorry mum.." He smirked slightly ".. But wouldn't it be nice to have a take out to celebrate Gee's homecoming?"
Linda smiled at us "Yeah!.. I guess so.. Any preference?"
"Chinese?.." Frank suggested ".. We can get a selection and find out what Gee likes.. That ok sweetie?" He looked down at me, and I smiled, nodding slightly. I don't know why I can't seem to talk in front of Linda.. she's not scary or anything, just a little inappropriate at times.
"Ok then.. I'll go order a large taster meal, don't do anything I wouldn't do while I'm gone, will you?" She winked, disappearing into the kitchen. Fuck!.. What's she like?!
"Is she always l..like that?" I asked quietly, trying to ignore the fact that my cheeks are on fire.
Frank giggled "Nah baby!.. This is a first!"
I considered this for a moment "She's weird!" I concluded.
Frank burst out into loud laughter, just as Linda returned "What's so funny?"
Frank looked down at me with tears in his happy eyes. I begged him with the look I gave to not tell her.. Apparently he didn't get the message "Gee thinks you're weird!" Frank blurted, collapsing into fresh fits of laughter as I groaned in embarrassment, hit Frank's arm, then buried my tomato hued face in the nearest cushion, flat out refusing to come out til they'd both stopped laughing.
Once they'd calmed down enough to speak whole sentences, without falling apart, Linda called the take out place, and I reemerged from hiding, my cheeks now only a tiny bit redder than normal.
When the food arrived, half way through some trippy horror movie, called Poultygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, (A/N real movie.. Totally weird!) Linda went to the door, and returned a minute later with two large bags that smelled absolutely delicious.
She pulled box after box out and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then disappeared back into the kitchen, and came back with three plates, forks, and cans of Sprite "Dig in" She said, grabbing a box and depositing what looked like pork in some kind of sauce onto her plate.
I looked at Frank, a little overwhelmed by the amount of choices. He smiled at me "Just try a little from each box. If you like one, put the box on your right, if you don't, then put it on the left.."
I nodded, and picked up the box closest to me. Opening the lid, I peered inside.
I saw several different vegetables, with a clear glaze, and sesame seeds. They looked, and smelled good, so I stabbed a piece with my fork, and tentatively tried it. Delicious!
I decided that I didn't want to try anything else, so I held onto the box, and ate straight out of it. Frank grinned at me ".. Ya like that?!.." I nodded, as I chewed on what I think was a bean sprout. Frank reached a hand up and pushed my hair behind my ear ".. Eat as much as you want, ok baby?"
I nodded, and we all settled down to enjoy the meal.
I didn't really eat all that much, a third of the box, maybe?.. but Frank and Linda seemed happy with that.
I wanted to eat more, cos it tasted so damn good, I just couldn't though. My stomach wouldn't let me!
Linda must've seen my upset, cos she told me that there was always leftovers when they had Chinese, and that I could pick at it any time I liked. It would all be in the fridge until the following night.
I smiled at her in thanks, then yawned wide "Tired baby?.." Frank cooed, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me into his side. I nodded, resting my head on his shoulder and yawning again. Frank chuckled ".. Let's get ya up to bed then.."
I nodded, and Frank helped me up, then we headed toward the stairs ".. Night mum" Frank called over his shoulder.
"Night boys.." Linda replied ".. Oh, hold on.. I've got something for you" Frank and I looked at each other as she stood up and walked over, her hand digging into her pocket.
"What is it?.." Frank asked. Linda smirked and shoved a condom into Frank's hand ".. MUM!!" Frank screeched, dropping the packet like it was hot.. Almost as hot as my face felt.
"Just in case!" She winked, then turned and started to clear up the Chinese boxes, as if nothing had happened.
Frank face palmed and shook his head, before starting to lead me away.
I stopped him, and whispered in his ear. Frank's eyes grew wide, then he nodded enthusiastically.
I stepped silently back into the living room. Linda had her back toward me as she continued to tidy up. Slowly, I leaned down and scooped up the condom from the floor, then straightened up, turned, and walked back toward Frank, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs "Have fun boys!" Linda giggled.
Frank and I both face palmed, then grinned and headed up to our room.
