Frank repeatedly banged his head against the bathroom door of My Chemical Romance's tour bus. His actions earlier could not have been any more lame. He's been crushing on Gerard, the singer of their band, for a long time now.

The two of them grew to be the best of friends, but of course, Frank's feelings grew past friendship. At first, he thought it'd be best to ignore those feelings. They'd go away right? Wrong. The more Frank tried to ignore his crush on Gerard, the worse it got.

Frank was sure if he told the front man that he has a major crush on him, it might end up causing problems between the band. He definitely didn't want to be responsible for causing any fights amongst the bandmates.

Ray, Bob, Mikey, Frank, and Gerard entered the bus. Ray used the tiny bathroom. Bob and Mikey collapsed on to the couch. Gerard searched the bus for a lighter and stuffed his pack of cigarettes into his front left pocket and made his way back outside to smoke.

As for Frank, he kind of stood awkwardly leaning against the wall, biting his lip in nervous thought, chewing on his lip ring a bit. Now was his chance.

Frank picked up his own pack of cigarettes and took a deep breath to compose himself before he walked outside to confess everything to the man with shoulder length black hair.

Frank shut the door to the bus and smiled over at Gerard who was sitting on the sidewalk with a Marlboro Red placed between his pink lips.

Frank's heart nearly jumped out of his chest from how gorgeous that man looked, even though Gerard's hair was messy and his bangs hung down in his eyes.

"Hey Frankie. You keeping me company, huh?"
Frank grinned and nodded his head. "Yeah. You don't mind. Do you?" He sat down next to the other on the cement.
"Not at all." Gerard said with a smile, flashing his tiny teeth.

There was a few moments of silence until Frank decided it was now or never to do what he came outside to do in the first place.

Frank took out a cigarette from his pack and lit it."Look, Gerard. We u-um..we..have to talk..." He took a long puff from his cigarette and quickly exhaled the smoke from his lungs.
Gerard raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Sure. What is it?"
Frank sighed and fidgeted nervously. "Promise me that you won't freak out, no matter how ridiculous the words that come out of my mouth sound?"
Gerard nodded and took a final drag from his cigarette and put the butt out on the ground. "I promise."
Frank gulped hard and took a deep breath before he spoke. "I like you, Gerard. I mean, I have a major fucking crush on you. Always have."

Gerard's jaw dropped. His hazel eyes stared widely at Frank, without a word.
Frank's cheeks turned red in embarrassment.He ran his hands over his eyes as he waited for the worst to be said.

Suddenly, Frank tossed his cigarette butt to the ground, stamped on it, and sprinted back to the bus, slamming open the door and going inside.

He ran into the bathroom, ignoring concerned looks from the other guys, and locked the door. He sighed heavily and groaned "Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid." as he continued to bang his head on the wooden door.

Within two minutes, Gerard was already knocking on the door. It startled Frank a little since he was still banging his head against the door.

"Frank, come out here. Please?" Gerard begged.

Frank sighed and hesitated a bit but opened the door anyway.

"Yeah?" Frank asked, feeling pretty humiliated with the way he simply ran off like he did.
"We aren't finished talking. You didn't give me a chance to respond." Gerard smirked widely." Let's go back outside."

Frank agreed to go back outside of the bus and give Gerard a chance to respond. Frank is clueless as to what the other will have to say to him.

The two of them sat down on the cement again, trying not to speak too loudly in case anyone on the bus could be eavesdropping on their conversation.

Gerard reached over and gently took Frank's hand, lacing their fingers together. "I like you too, Frank."
Frank's nervous expression dramatically changed to a very big grin. "Really?"
"Uh-huh. I have for a while too, y'know? Just wasn't sure how to say it because of the band and all."
"Well, I'll be damned." Frank said, somewhat in disbelief.
Gerard giggled and squeezed Frank's hand. "I guess we should do something about this then, huh?"
"Only if you want to." Frank replied with a small shrug.
"Trust me, now that I know you feel the same way about each other, I want to."
Frank smiled again. "Okay. So what do you think we should do?"
Gerard thought for a moment and brushed his bangs out of his eyes. "Frank Iero, will you be my boyfriend?"

Frank answered by yanking Gerard in for a passionate kiss, making Gerard squea before kissing back.

When they pulled apart, they held hands again and Gerard giggled. "Let's go break the news to the band- and my brother."
