We end up driving to one of my favorite arcades I used to go to when Mikey and I were kids. It wasn't like a normal arcade, it was really band themed, prizes ranged from little kids toys to band t shirts from nirvana, misfits, smiths, but also some newer bands like Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, etc.

We walked in and Frank pulls out 20 dollars, handing it to the cashier who then gives him 100 tokens.

As we walk down the ramp towards the pit containing all of the games, Franks hand brushes against mine, and after the second time I hesitantly lace my fingers with his. He squeezes his fingers and out of the corner of my eye, I see him grinning so widely it is kinda scary.

"So, what game do you wanna play first?" He asks, looking at me.

"Idk, there's a lot to choose from," I say, gazing over all of the bright flashing lights and colors. One catches my eye though. It is a giant spinning wheel and whatever it lands on that's how many tickets you win. We walk over and frank slides in the token and we spin the wheel.

2 and a half hours later we are down to 4 tokens, and are trying to decide what to do next. Something catches my eye though, and I grin.

"Frankie, let's play the laser tag!" I say, looking at him. He smiles at the familiar nickname and nods.
The arcade has a laser tag game, and it's held in a huge room with multiple levels and hiding places, all only lit by black lights.

We get in line, and soon we are up to the desk.

"2 tokens per person," the woman asks, looking bored. Frank hands her our last tokens and she directs us to a room full of vests and laser guns. We put on the large vests, lasers guns attached, and walk in line, Frank on one team, me on the other. Once everyone playing this round has their vest activated, each team walks through their side door, and into the huge room.

We all find our own starting hiding place and wait for the speakers to tell us to begin.

Basically, you shoot at the glowing part of another member of the opposite teams vest, your gun will announce if you hit the target or missed, it will also tell you if you have been shot. When your shot, your laser no longer works for 2 minutes, rendering you defenseless. After those 2 minutes are up, your vest will glow again and your laser will announce that you are back in the game.

"Welcome to Rock Laser Tag, The rules are simple. No running, no taking off your vest, and please, No food or drink in the Area. Team with the least number of deaths win. GO" the speakers let out. You can hear the patting of feet from both directions, and as I look around for a better hiding spot, I see another team member of mine, team red, stealthily sneaking up a ladder the shoot a guy from team Blue. I watch as the guy shoots him and cheers silently.

I find a really well hidden spot and stand in the very far corner, so I can see when people pass by but they can't see me. Suddenly I hear quiet footsteps closing in, and when I look, Frank is tiptoeing down the hallway, unaware of my presence. I smirk to myself as I slowly crawl out just a little, and when he passes by, his back now towards me, I shoot him, perfect shot.

"Target shot" my laser announces and Frank turns around quickly to see who shot him. By then I am already out of my hiding spot, standing in the middle of the hallway.

"Damn, looks like you can't shoot for a couple minutes, I wonder who did that?!" I say nonchalantly.

"Oh your gonna get it now!" He says before I turn and run down the hallway, never turning back but I can hear the faint sound of his laser announcing "You are back in the game"

I keep running, up a ramp, around a corner, past some walls. I can hear his footsteps on the first floor but they are coming close. I see a little cube, with a hole on one side, perfect to crawl into and not be seen. I crawl in, wiggling a little because the whole is only so big. Once I'm inside the cube i sit cross-legged, laser in hand, and listen.

I can hear the cheering of other players and the groans of others, footsteps all around. Just as familiar footsteps pass I accidentally drop my laser, making a bang. The footsteps stop and slowly stride over to the hole. I sit up and crouch, sitting on my feet, ready to shoot.

I see Frank dive threw the whole, his body being smaller than mine he does it with ease. In the split second I have to think of how to stop him from shooting me, I come up with something. As he quickly gets up and goes to shoot I crash into him, sealing my lips to his. He is momentarily stunned before kissing back, and as we kiss I slowly and quietly as possible raise my gun.

"Target Shot" rings out inside the cube. Along with Franks vest saying "You Have Been Shot"

He looks at me in shock.

"Whoops! My finger slipped!" I giggle, not even bothering to run away. Our bodies are still extremely close in the cramped space of the cube. He exaggerates a pout, making him look adorable, before he leans in, just as I do the same, and seal our lips together. We kiss for what seems like forever, my hands dropping the laser and wrapping around his shoulders to cup his neck. When we finally do break for air, both panting into each others mouths, Frank brings his hand up at stroke my cheek.

"Gerard Way, you are possible the most beautiful person I have ever seen" he whispers, leaning closer so our foreheads are against each other. I smile and blush bright red, before leaning in and pecking his lips innocently.

"I know this is only our first official date and all....." Frank says, looking down at his lap for a second before looking into my eyes. Even with it being dark, the only light glowing for our vests and the black lights, I could still make out the hazel/green swirl of his eyes. He slides his fingers in between mine, linking them together, before finishing, "Will you be my boyfriend?"

Boyfriend.... Franks... Boyfriend...

I squeeze our linked fingers lightly, and nod before answering verbally. "Yes."

He seems to search my eyes for any doubt, and when he doesn't find any he smiles wide, both of us leaning in and kissing passionately.

Our minor make out session was interrupted, sadly, by both of our vests chiming,"The game has ended, Red team Wins, Please make your way to the closest exit and into the gear room. Take of your vests and hang them up for the next players please. Thank you and I hope you have had a wonderful time playing Rock Laser Tag."

With that, we get up, Frank crawling through the hole first, then me.

Once both of us walk out, put our vests and laser away, and walk back into the arcade the need to pee does not go unnoticed. "I'm gonna go to the rest room, be right back." I tell him, slipping my hand out of his and walking to the restrooms.

A couple minutes later I walk out, to find Frank sitting at one of the tables, a tray of french fries sitting in the middle. I sit down, snatching a fry as I do so. Franks hands are hidden behind his back, telling me he's hiding something from me, and I question him on it. "What's behind your back?"

He giggles slightly, smiling innocently, "why nothing! What ever made you think there was?!"

I giggle and raise an eyebrow. Pointing the fry in my hand to his hidden hands before eating it.
He seems to hum before saying "Well... I guess if you must know..." He pulls his hands out from behind him, revealing a stuffed brown bear, wearing a black and orange Smashing Pumpkins T-shirt. I grin widely, as Frank hands me the bear.

"I kinda used all of our tickets to get it so..." He trails off...

"Worth it" I say, before leaning forward and kissing him gently. I can feel him smile into the kiss
Making me do the same. When we pull away I hold the bear to my chest and squeeze it, almost like a hug.

"Pumpkin." I announce, looking at Frank as we both eat the fries.

"What?" He asks, looking confused.

"That's what I'm naming the bear, Pumpkin."

He giggles and nods, saying that it seems fitting. We finish the fries, throwing away our trash before walking hand in hand, me clutching Pumpkin, out the sliding automatic doors, into the parking lot and into the Red Mustang.

"Where did you even get the car?" I ask, looking at our interlocked fingers as Frank drives down the road, towards our neighborhood.

"You know Rays uncle? The one the works at the Car dealership?" He asks, never taking his eyes off the road. I hum a yes.

"Well I kinda asked Ray to get him to let me test drive it." He answers, glancing at me.

"But.. Why? It's not like we were going racing or anything." I say confusing myself.

"Because it's fucking cool, and I really wanted to drive in a really badass car with a really hot guy." He giggles in embarrassment and I blush shaking my head fondly at his ideas.

We pull up to my house, it being almost 9 at night it's dark outside. We both slide out and walk to my front door.

"You wanna stay over again?" I ask, facing him as both of our hands link together.

"Can't, mom wants me home tonight, and besides, it's school tomorrow remember?" He states, leaning in so our foreheads are pressed together. I sigh and pout, knowing school brings learning, assholes, and Bert motherfucking McCracken.

Frank seems to notice my mood change and speaks, "hey, I'm not gonna let that douchbag hit you. I'm not gonna let him even get in a 10 foot radius of you okay?" I nod, smiling at his protectiveness.

I kiss him, unlocking our fingers and wrapping my arms around his shoulders, his hands coming around to settle on my hips, pulling me closer to him. My hands run through his hair and I tug lightly, causing him to gasp a little into the kiss, I grin. Kissing Frank feels right, like everything in the world doesn't matter and the way our lips fit together makes me never want to pull away. I love the way it feels to be so close to him. I love the way it feels to just be in the same room as him. I love him all together. Whoa... I'm in love with Frank Iero.

The feeling of a tongue gently running across my bottom lip clicks me out of my thought process and I open my mouth, granting him access without hesitation. I don't bother trying to fight him for dominance, I just let him explore, working my tongue along his.

Soon enough, too soon I should say, we have to pull away, and after we calm down, Frank says he has to go or his mom is gonna be pissed. I just nod in understand, and we share one last lingering kiss before I walk into my home, clutching Pumpkin. I lock the front door, being quite as possible knowing Mikey is probably asleep already and creep into the kitchen, down the basement steps and into my bedroom, holding a squeal of excitement, relief, and happiness inside.
