Gerard's body ached and tightened at the sight of the teen's body. He needed more. A lot more. His cravings needed to be satisfied. He wanted to be satisfied. But all he could do is wait for his master's orders. All he could do is wait to be rewarded or punished.

The next day was on a Wednesday and it was odd for Frank. He kept his eye out for Steven which was a waste of his energy because when he did happen to bump into Steven after turning a corner, Steven cursed under his breath as he gathered his things. Steven looked at Frank for merely a second before walking off. Frank gathered his own things before slowly strolling down the halls. He took out his phone and messaged Gerard, "Is it okay to get personal with you?"

After a couple of minutes, he received a message from Gerard, "What's on your mind?"

"My bully is avoiding me. What does that mean?"

Gerard replied, "Sounds like they're scared."

Frank paused in the hallway. Steven was scared? Well, that would make sense since Frank knew his secret. But he wouldn't tell anyone .. but Steven didn't know that. Frank replied, "Thanks, that makes sense now :)"

"Was there something you did that scared him off?"

"I'd rather not say :("

Gerard looked down at his phone from his airplane seat and sent a message that Frank read, "Whatever you feel comfortable with :)"

Frank smiled at his phone before tucking it away in his jacket pocket. He felt a sudden hand rest on his shoulder. He turned and met eyes with Sammy. She smiled, "Who ya texting?"

"Some guy." Frank grinned as he reeled her in for a hug.

Sammy smiled, "Bullshit." She kissed his cheek, "Are you busy tonight?"

"Well, kind of. I have a writing piece I'm working on." Frank turned away and walked down the hall with Sammy following by his side, "C'mon, I'm having a get-together at my house-Chase is gonna be there," She winked.

"Chase? What makes you think I like Chase?"

"I saw the way you were looking at them during math class,"

Frank did like Chase but not in a serious way. Chase was the smartest person in math class and always had Frank's back when the teacher called on him, and he didn't know the answer (which was very often. Frank was horrible at math). Chase was gender neutral. Meaning that they avoided the roles naming a person's sex or gender (I'm no expert). Chase's pronouns were "they/them". Frank always admired that about Chase. Chase was outspoken, smart, and kind to everyone around them.

Frank rolled his eyes, "They look at me, I look at them occasionally-it's no big deal."

Sammy frowned a bit, "So you're not coming?"

"Not tonight."

"Well .. can we do something tomorrow then?"

Frank sighed, "Sorry. Busy tomorrow too. I'm going to see a friend after school." He grabbed Sammy's hand, "This weekend, kay?"

Sammy smiled softly, "Kay,"

Later that day, at around 9 p.m, Frank was waiting for Gerard to reply to his message, "Are you close?" He opened up a message from Gerard saying, "I'm in L.A now. The movers truck just got here too. So after you're done with school tomorrow, around 3:30, meet me at this address" Gerard followed the message with the address and Frank smiled softly. He was going to actually hang out with his hero, Gerard Way.
