The Light Behind Your Eyes

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

I woke up this morning to the blinding light and the smell of coffee. I squinted and hissed at the light, so I guess I am a vampire, then I remembered that I'm meeting Frank at 2.
"Shit" I quietly said to myself as I realised I only had 2 and a half hours to get ready, but it wan't a big deal right? We were just meeting up for coffee and that's it, I was the one to make that clear anyway.

I stumbled downstairs to find Mikey watching some kind of shit on the TV and eating toast, we made awkward eye contact for a few minutes before I shuffled on to get some food.
When I returned to the room and was munching away at my toast watching what I soon realised to be the cartoon network the TV was switched off.
"Gee I think we need to talk" Here we go, I knew it was coming, "Why were you sexting last night?"
I stood up throwing the rest of my toast at him, "GOD DAMMIT MIKEY WE WEREN'T SEXTING!" I felt a bit bad afterwards but at the same time it felt so good.
"But he said he had a-"
"I know what he said! But he didn't, It was a mistake, now can we stop talking about it and help me get ready to have coffee with him!" Mikey blinked at me clueless for a minute when he jumped up grabbing my hand and taking me upstairs, leaving the toast on the floor to forever be forgotten about.

------Time lapse ( 1:45 )------

I was almost ready to leave the house, simple skinny jeans, Misfits t-shirt and hoodie on with a bit of eyeliner. I basically looked like I normally do on a day to day basis but Mikey said this was a good thing.

I left with plenty of time to spare, arriving at Starbucks early and getting a table by the window.
I was daydreaming when a hand was being waved in front of my face by Frank.
"Earth to Gerard, are you there?" He laughed sitting down opposite me.
"Oh sorry, I was just thinking.." I averted my eyes from the table to looking over him, he surprisingly looked not that different to me, he was just wearing a Green Day t-shirt instead.
"Yeah you were thinking long enough for me to get us both coffees, I hope you like it black? You can add milk to it if you want."
"Ummm no black is just fine" I blushed realising I must have been daydreaming for a while.
"What's up? You keep looking at me weirdly" Shit, I must be doing that weird thing where you can't stop looking at someone and everytime you try to look they catch you.
"Errrr, you just look different? It's good though" I blushed slightly, what the fuck is wrong with me? Can't I be normal for once?
"Yeah well believe it or not i'm not that much older than you and we're not in school" He giggled looking nervously down at the table, yes he fucking giggled.

About an hour later a was still smiling like a mad man and we had finished our coffees and I think I had got to grip with handling my blushing.
"So what about that walk you were talking about?"
"Right...yeah, follow me" We got up and walked out of Starbucks together staying close, I felt him brush my fingers as we walked next to each other and rounded to the park. I came to the park a lot to think, there was this bit that no one ever went to and it seemed magical to me, like I didn't have a care in the world about anything, I took him to that hill and we sat down together.

"What are we doing Gerard?" He said looking me in the eyes awkwardly.
"Well....we're sitting on a hill an-"
"No I meant with us." That's exactly what I was afraid of, I didn't know, that was the thing.
"I don't know? Do you? Because all I know is that you're my teacher and if we were doing what we wanted to be doing that would be very, very illegal." Frank processed all of this slowly.
"Gerard I'm only 23, I'm not that much older than you-"
"But you're my teacher-"
"I know, sorry I asked just I-" He started to get up to leave and I really didn't want him to.
"Frank wait a minute," I grabbed his arm and pulled myself up,"Can I just see something real quick?" He nodded looking up at me.
I brought my hand up to his face and stroked it gently, I leaned in and closed the gap between us bringing our lips together. He smiled into the kiss wrapping his arms around my neck, he licked my bottom lip asking for permission which I gave him and he brushed his tongue over mine. All of a sudden it started pouring with rain, we both broke apart laughing getting drenched in water.
"We're both going to be wet Gerard!" Frank shouted over the drums of the city rain coming down on us.
"Don't push it..." I said glaring at him then laughing again. We stayed there just laughing in the rain until it started getting dark where we went our separate ways home promising to text each other.
