The house was quiet, and even if a death of a loved one had occurred, everyone continued their lives. They kept their heads up and stayed optimistic just as Frey would want them to. Everyone was gathered in their own rooms with loved ones, talking.

Davy was with Jenna. He didn’t say a word, he just looked at her with bright blue eyes. He reached a hand out and caressed her cheek. Jenna’s cheeks warmed up as she pushed her cheek against Davy’s palm, nuzzling up to him. She said softly, “Even if I was planning on killing you, I did miss you.” She faced her body towards him and buried her face against his neck, “Don’t make me regret staying with you, Davy.”

Davy’s lips formed a smile, “You’re too much to lose. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”

Jenna smiled softly before wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing him in closer. Davy stared at her folded wings before they slowly faded, just as angels could do. He took the chance of her wings being gone to wrap his arms around her. He tightened his jaw, making sure he did not cry, “I’m so glad you’re here again.”

Lindsey was with Patrick in her room. She brushed her wedding finger against his chest, “One day we’re going to run away, y’know? You and me .. “

Patrick shook his head, “You have friends here who need you.”

Lindsey climbed onto his body, “For now.” She grabbed her shirt from the bottom before pulling it above her head and throwing it off the bed, “They need me [now].” Her body was highlighted, very beautiful. Patrick grabbed onto her waist, “They’ll always need you. You’ve been with Davy and Gerard for too long to leave them.”
Lindsey frowned, “Frey left-”

“Not intentionally.” Patrick snapped. He reeled her in, “You’re upset. Don't get any ideas.” He kissed her cheek. Lindsey snatched his fedora and placed it on her own head, “Promise me, that you won’t leave? Please?”

“I promise I won’t intentionally leave you.” Patrick smiled.

Lindsey giggled, “That’s the best I’m going to get, huh?”

Patrick grabbed his fedora from her head, “Yup.” He laughed before grasping onto her butt, “C’mere, let’s get distracted.”

Frank and Gerard were the only ones who weren’t getting as close as the others. While Gerard was staring out the window, staring out into the dirt, Frank was inspecting his cane. Frank didn’t understand why Brendon gave him the cane out of everyone. Well, he could kind of see why. He knew Brendon hated everyone but him the least .. still, was that enough to give Frank the rest of Brendon’s power?

Gerard mumbled, “I’m worried that Pete is going to make a mistake again.”

Frank stared at the globe of the cane, “No, he’s learned his lesson.”

“Because of his mistake, it caused the death of Frey.” Gerard said. He sighed as he sat next to Frank. He stared down at the cane, “I wonder what you can do with that power .. from my view it looks like you can do anything.”

Frank glanced at Gerard, “Yeah, most likely. But I don’t want to find out.” Frank smirked a bit before setting the cane down, far from the bed on the desk beside it. He inched closer to Gerard, “I really missed you.”

Gerard frowned, “It didn’t seem that way at all from my point of view .. you didn’t even notice. Especially when you tried having sex with my body.”

Frank tucked in his lips, “I was blinded, I’m sorry. He was really nice compared to what you were before .. I thought he was you, but changed.”

Gerard climbed onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling, “I guess I can’t blame you. I was frightening before.” He grabbed onto Frank’s hand and reeled him in so Frank was lying down by his side, “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable and sad. I hated seeing you that way .. which was why I left. Brendon got me thinking you’d be better off without me.” He felt Frank kiss his neck, making him smile. Frank’s soft breath brushed against his collarbone as he continued to speak, “I don’t like being a demon. I wish I weren’t.”

Frank thought for a moment back to his cane, but he shrugged off the thought. He whispered, “If you were to ever turn into human, and something bad happens .. there will only be Davy and Lindsey. They need you. You’ve made sacrifices for them.”

Gerard shook his head slightly, “Maybe it’s time they make sacrifices for me .. “ Gerard turned his body to face Frank, “The cane. I know you can make me mortal.” He grabbed Frank’s hand, “There’s nothing else I want.”

Frank pulled his hand away, “I don’t want to use the cane at all, Gerard.”

There was silence. Gerard stared into Frank’s eyes until Frank looked away, staring down to Gerard’s chest to keep him distracted. Gerard sighed softly before pulling Frank’s body onto his own, “Sorry. I know. You’re probably worried that Brendon’s power might be .. too much. I understand.” Frank smiled softly before kissing the bottom of Gerard’s chin.

Gerard grinned. He moved up Frank’s body so he could kiss him properly. The two were completely oblivious to the fact that the cane beside the bed was attracting more and more toward Frank. It’s power was latching onto Frank, claiming it as its new owner.
