Sick of losing soulmates

-big time skip-

Its been a whole 5 years since I met Gerard. I met him 5 years ago today. Today's his 21st birthday.

APRIL 9, 1998

Im so glad Gerard's my best friend. After all those years that I've gotten to know him much more I've kinda sorta gained feelings for him. I don't want to tell him but his name appeared on my collar bone. It came as a shock to me on my 18th birthday. I'm scared to tell him because what if my name isn't on him but what if it has and he's just as scared as I am. I need to stop stressing over this.

I get out of my car and walk up to Gerard's front door knocking on it when I get there. He opens the door with a big smile on his face and he pulls me into a tight hug. "Gerard you're squishing me....and your present" he let's go and looks at my arms seeing a medium sized box in black wrapping paper with his name scrawled in silver shaprie. The same as 5 years ago. He looks at me with a small smile. He's thinking about it. He reaches to his back pocket grabbing his wallet. He opens it up and pulls out a frayed piece of black paper with his name scrawled on it in silver sharpie. "You still have this thing after 5 years?" I ask surprisedly. He nods, "i liked the way my name looked" he shrugs and laughs. Jesus Christ he's so adorable.

"Hey Frank.... I gotta talk to you later" he says as he grabs his present and takes it to the kitchen setting it on the kitchen table. I follow behind like a lost puppy. He pulls me into another hug. I look up at him smiling "so..how's my best friends day going?" He asks me. I laugh at nothing in particular "its been great so far. But I've been thinking about a lot of things so I keep spacing out and shit ya know." I say, he looks down at me. "Whatcha thinking about Frankie?" He asks. I shrug not wanting to tell him the full truth "college and stuff" I brush it off. "You sure?" I nod. "And some other things but that's not important right now".

We walk outside onto his back porch heading for the bench swing thingy. "You know you can tell me anything right Frankie?" I nod once again "same to you" I say. He smiles at me. I cuddle into his side on the swing....we always do this.

"When's your party?" I ask.
" I was thinking about that" he says, "I don't want to have a party this year, I think it should just be me and you, you wanna hang out with me and eat cake?"
"Yeah" I smile and close my eyes 'I really do'
