The Light Behind Your Eyes

--------------Gerard's POV-----------------

Everything went so well! I was proud that I didn't let my guard down, and how tempting it was too!
Ray even won the competition which was even better, but oh how much I would have killed to just run off with Mr Iero there and then and never come back.

Ray, Mikey and I all went out for pizza afterwards to celebrate and Mikey was looking the most confident he's been since Pete broke up with him, Ray still stealing sneaky glances at him. The day over all was a win, all of us ending up happy.

--------------Time Lapse ( later than night ) ---------------

I was having a hard time getting to sleep because lets face it, we all know our inner night owls, when all of a sudden a got a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: 11:36 pm
Hi Gerard? Well at least I hope it's you because this is the number you gave me, unless this is a very shitty prank.
Anyway it's Frank or as you know me, Mr Iero
Frnk xx

I felt goosebumps rise on my arms, this obviously meant that he was keen right? I didn't expect him to text me so soon. I quickly added his contact to my phone, giving him a cute nickname and hoping he wouldn't find out.

To Frankie <3 11:38 pm
Hey Frank, no it is me, I wouldn't pull a prank this mean because I already know how much you want my number ;)
Nice name by the way, it suits you!
xoxoG

I was just hoping I didn't sound too weird but what the hell he'd find out anyway, I started to try and go to sleep again when my phone buzzed.

Frankie <3 11:42 pm
I didn't think you'd still be up! And I'm not that keen! Actually why are you up?
Frnk xx

Well I didn't think I was getting to sleep anyway, I waited for a bit to not look like I was too keen to reply, see i'm thinking outside the box!

To Frankie <3 11:48 pm
I'm secretly a vampire! But shhh don't tell anyone, it's meant to be a secret
xoxoG

Frankie <3 11:51 pm
Am I meant to be taking you seriously? Because I always thought you looked a bit too pretty to be human
Frnk xx

I blushed, glad that he couldn't see through the screen, that would be scary if people could see your expressions through the screen, can you imagine?

To Frankie <3 11:53 pm
Thanks for the complement, I'll remember that. No seriously I just stay up late and usually can't get to sleep, what about you?
xoxoG

I was quite contently drifting in and out of dreaming about Frank when my phone buzzed again and Mikey came bursting through the door.

"Can you please stop texting? Or a least turn the buzzing off otherwise I will crush your phone like my heart!" He looked mad, I felt bad for him as well because he was still heartbroken, at least he was using it in good sentences.

"Sorry Mikes I jus-" My phone buzzed again.
"Who's even texting you? You don't have any frien- oh it's Mr Iero right? Well tell him to shut the fu-" There it goes again, the buzzing.
"If it does it one more time I swear to G-" That was the last time it got to buzz before Mikey was released on it, he came over and snatched it from my hand and started reading the texts and dropped it immediately
"Okay....next time you're sexting in the middle of the night at least tell me before I start reading the texts" Now I was officially confused I started trying to explain while reading the texts and realised why Mikey thought that, it was too late to explain because the next thing I knew Mikey had gone back to bed.

Frankie <3 11:54 pm
Well I can't get to sleep because of a little problem someone's given me ;)
Frnk xx

Frankie <3 11:55 pm
Oh god, no no no, I swear I didn't mean it like that, you haven't given me a boner or anything, I mean you have but not now

Frankie <3 11:56 pm
I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT A BONER! Oh god I need to stop talking, i'm so sorry
Frnk xx + extra hugs

Frankie <3 11:57 pm
That was so inappropriate i'm so sorry, it won't happen again, help me, I just mean that I can't get to sleep, fml, please don't hate me.
Frnk xx

I laughed reading the texts and seeing how stressed he was over it.

To Frankie <3 00:04 am
Chill! I don't hate you! I thought it was really funny actually! No one has any boners, end of story! P.s. my brother read the texts and told me to keep my sexting life to myself.
xoxoG

Frankie <3 00:07 am
Thank you! Anyway do you want to get coffee tomorrow? Or today I guess as it's early in the morning right now? I can't believe your brother read them!
Frnk xx

To Frankie <3 00:10 am
Of course I do! But just as friends yeah? You made it clear you don't want to be anything more than that, I'll meet you in Starbucks at 2:00 pm? Then we can maybe go for a walk or something? If i'm meeting you later then I better get some sleep.
Night night xoxoG

Frankie <3 00:12 am
I'll see you later
Goodnight Gerard
Frnk xx

I then drifted to sleep content about my plans for later knowing that my last thought before I went to sleep was of Frank.
