Frank woke up the next morning wrapped in a pair of arms, and swaddled in a butter blanket. Squirming, but trying not to wake his sleeping companion, Frank peered around the apartment he hadn't been able to look at the night before, because he was preoccupied. Craning his neck to look at the black cat, Frank felt a pair of lips rest on his temple. They trailed their way down until his jaw, and then a pair of green eyes stared into his own.

“Hey pretty,” Gerard said, leaning back further onto the couch “Good morning.”

Frank blushed at the compliment, and leaned in brushing his nose against Gerard’s own pointed one, but never losing eye contact. “So,” Gerard continued “What is this exactly?” he said while resting a dozen soft kisses on Frank’s slender neck, nibbling occasionally.

“We,” Frank started unsure, “This is, ya know?” running his fingers through Gerard’s hair. Gee sighed in contentment, eyes fluttering and eventually closing because he was really exhausted. But he had to get up, because he had to get a few charcoal sketches done for some obsessed client.

“Frank, I gotta get up.” Gerard mumbled into the boy’s ear, but he just curled up closer instead of moving. Gerard just groaned “Frank seriously I have to do some sketches.”

Frank sighed looking up at the older man and rest his head onto Gerard’s shoulder. “But you’re so comfy!” he pouted, not pleased with having to get up. Gerard just stared at him for a while, basking in Frank’s delicateness and effeminate features. “I'll make pancakes?” he suggested and Frank squealed and jumped up off the couch, running into the kitchen. Gerard laughed at his actions and followed him there.

“So,” Frankie said resting his head onto his folded arms, atop the counter “Will there be chocolate chips in these pancakes?”

“Chocolate chips? No! Blueberries.” Gerard stated, sending the pouting boy a smirk. Sighing, Frank got up and walked around the island trailing his fingertips along the edge, until in front of Gerard.

Wrapping his slender tattooed arms around Gee, Frank stared up with huge eyes. “But I want chocolate chips.” he whispered, grazing his lips over Gerard’s ear causing him to shiver. Gerard pulled away cocking his eyebrow.

“Only for Princess Frank.”

Frank nodded, happy with answer and wandered off into the open living room to inspect the little haven. The walls were a very rich dark plum color, sand paint, and gritty of that. All the furnishings were sharp angles, mismatching, and mostly wood. Canvas after canvas littered the wall opening into the small sunroom, a mixture of cool and warm tinted light.

“Gerard?” Frank questioned, eyes drifting back to the black haired man working with a cast iron pan. Gerard turned back towards Frank, walking a few steps toward the island.

“Hmm?”

“I like your house.”

Gerard smiled warmly at this, replying curtly with a slight nod. He went back to the pancakes, and Frank started to furiously look for his green long sleeve shirt. “Where did my shirt go?” Frank murmured as he lifted up a white couch cushion. He could hear giggling erupting from Gerard, and then full out laughter. “What?” Frank snapped, turning around.

Gerard did a spin, smirking the whole time. A green cotton shirt clung tightly to him, showing off his hipbones. “You like?”

The smaller man just gazed at Gee, taking in the way the dark green color complimented his alabaster skin and his cat like eyes. “Wow.” Frank said quietly to himself. Gerard was completely stunning. His collar bones were pronounced and his stomach was smooth, you could tell through the thin fabric. Gerard looked down at himself self consciously and wrapped his long arms around his stomach.

“Hey,” Frank said as he stepped around the island counter into the kitchen “Don’t do that.” Frank delicately laced his fingers into Gerard’s own calloused ones and pulled them away from Gee’s stomach. “I like it. It’s really cute on you.”

Gerard chuckled, “I’m the cute one?”

“Well...yeah.”

Gerard picked up Frank in his arms causing him to squeal, and toted the small man into the living room. “So, I’m the cute one?” Gerard smirked as he dropped Frank onto the couch, straddling him. Frank gasped, because at the moment Gerard had been kissing down his forehead, to his neck and then Frank’s inked chest.

“You, Frank are the most adorable little sprite I have ever come across.” Gerard whispered as stroked the colorful man’s brow bone. “Pretty, Pretty, Pretty.” Gerard laughed into Frank’s neck and then retreating back into the kitchen to the almost burnt pancakes. Frank just lay on the white leather couch, processing what had happened.

“Breakfast is done.”

You could faintly hear the clatter of well worn mismatch dishes in the mass kitchen, and the clank of forks being laid onto a wood counter. Frank sat down in one of the black brass chairs, creaking under his meager weight.

“Here you go, Princess.” Gerard said between a smirk. He laid down an orange glass plate, with three large pancakes piled high. Sugar and butter dripping down the folds and gritty between Gerard and Frank’s teeth and tongues. Metal against glass, clinking noises echoed throughout the plum colored expansion and little was said for a comfortable silence was lingering amidst the table.

Frank had to leave soon after, rent had to be paid and work had to be done.

Gerard stood at the door gazing at the shorter man who was propped against it’s hinges, grinning wildly in his new (or old) sweater he had accumulated from Gerard.

“Come over later for dinner?” Gerard said lazily.

Frank smiled back and nodded, leaning forward and connecting his own small lips to Gerard’s thinner longer ones, molding together perfectly. “Bye.” Frank whispered, lips still softly nipping at Gerards.

“Bye.” Gerard replied, pulling away slowly before watching Frank trot to his own apartment, just across the lot.

Gerard sighed, coming to realize something he didn't want to.

He was in love with Frank.
