I need to ask you a favour

The rest of the evening is.. pleasant at best. Although Gerard tries his best, he can't seem to stop blushing all night long after our kiss, making it very hard to have a conversation with anybody, least of all his grandparents. It makes for quite awkward gaps and long silences between us, and when we're not silent, they're passively aggressively offending me, commenting unnecessarily on my choice of career or my hair. During that however, all I can think about is the way Gerard keeps staring at me. I smirk at him out the corner of my eye.
Eventually, thank god, his grandparents decide it's late enough to leave, going off to where ever they were spending the night.
"It's been nice to see you." Gerard says warmly, finally focusing his attention back on his family. They both give him a hug as they leave, and shake my hand politely.
"It's been so nice to finally meet you, Frank." His grandmother says as they move towards the door. "Hopefully this can become more of a regular thing?"
I wink at Gerard as I reply, "I hope it can be too. It's been really nice to meet you." They wave their goodbyes, giving Gerard one last hug, as they make their way out of the front door. We wave our goodbyes to them until their car has driven down the road and out of sight.
"So..." Gerard mumbles looking at the floor. The cold night air is nipping at both of our skin.
"Are you not going to be a gentleman and walk me home?" I raise my eyebrows and
Gerard looks shocked trying to squeak out a reply.
"I- just I thought tha-"
"Hey, Gee. It's cool, I literally live over the road." I reach out and squeeze
his hand in reassurance. "You know, of all the things I thought I would be doing
today- this was not one of them." I laugh and he looks up at me through his eye
lashes.
"Sorry." He mutters and I giggle again.
"Don't be. It was actually a lot of fun." Gerard takes a step towards me, and it's only then that I become very aware that I'm still holding his hand.
"Thank you, for tonight. I really appreciate it- not many guys would have done this for a complete stranger and...
Yeah.. Thanks."
"Really, Gerard. Anytime." I smirk, and notice immediately how he drops his gaze to the floor.
"So... um, do you think you'd want to.. I don't know, possibly.. Go out? The two of us?" I can almost feel the embarrassment radiating off of him as the words leave his lips.
"Hmm, I don't know, Gee." I joke pulling him back so I was resting against the back of the front door, his body almost pressed against mine.
"Why don't you kiss me, and we'll see?" I raise an eyebrow, but before I can focus, his lips are on mine. He reaches forwards and intertwines both of our hands, leaving me breathless as he pulls his lips away. I grin.
"So, I'll pick you up at 8? Tomorrow?" I ask and he nods eagerly.
"8 is perfect."


The end.
