I'm Really Not That Bad.

Gerard had remained with Frank the whole night, arms wrapped protectively around the sleeping boy beside him. Gerard woke as the nurses opened the door, Frank still deep asleep and twitching every so often.
The nurse directed Gerard to the cafeteria, despite his pleas to stay with Frank. Gerard had nearly finished his breakfast when they pulled a frightened looking Frank in.
They sat him down at a table far away from Gerard's, trying to force food into him. Eventually he gave in, tears spilling over. Gerard knew that the nurses were only helping but he couldn't help but feel a little angry that they had made his Frankie cry.
When the nurses finally left Gerard made his way over, sitting next to the younger boy and stroking his hair, brushing the tears from his eyes.
"I-I'm so fucked up Gerard." Frank said quietly, looking down. "I can't sleep without their shots and even then the nightmares come but I can't wake up Gerard." He whimpered, Gerard nodding sympathetically. "And on top of that they're making me eat. I'm fucking fat already without them force feeding me." More tears spilled over.
Gerard could hardly believe Frank's words. The kid was skinny, almost sickly skinny, ribs sticking out and a gap between his thighs. And he thought he was fat. That broke Gerard's heart.
"Frankie, you're so gorgeous... how could you say that you're fat?" Gerard asked quietly.
"I am Gerard. I'm disgusting!" He insisted, eyes red and puffy from crying. Gerard just shushed him, whispering sweet nothings into his ear as Frank calmed down.
The younger boy wasn't smiling that careless happy smile from yesterday. But he didn't look as upset, at least. His expression was more blank, eyes flitting around every few seconds.
"You're gonna be alright, Frankie. I'm always gonna be right by your side. And we're gonna get better together." Gerard whispered, pecking Frank's cheek softly. It took him a moment to realize what he'd done, about to apologize just as he saw Frank's smile reappear for a second. "I know, Gee. I know you're here for me. And I can't thank you enough." He whispered, kissing Gerard's cheek back.
