Just A Home

It’s been two weeks and Frank has never been in this much pain. If he moved to quickly, he would have chest pains; some things he ate hurt his stomach. Gerard didn’t go to work; he worked at home, barely, he was so lucky he had a great team at work.

Hissing at the pain, Frank turned over on the couch. He felt a hand in his hair, looking up Gerard was behind him.

“You okay?” Frank just nodded “Baby, you really are worrying me.” Gerard came around sitting on the coffee table.

“I’m okay honey. I love you.” Frank smiled. The older man sighed, leaning in to kiss his boyfriend’s head. Frank lay on his back, as his medication was making him drowsy.

Waking up, Frank’s chest was burning, he could barely breathe; looking at the clock, he was only out for maybe two hours. He felt like someone was taking a knife to his chest, pushing it up to his throat. Hot, something hot was coming up his chest. Cocking his head to his side, he threw up stomach acid. Coughing, he felt like he was choking on his own bodily fluids.

He rolled off the couch landing on his stomach, making him sick even more. He could hear the shower going. He wanted to scream, but his voice was gone, all he could do was cough. Looking up at the coffee table, he took one of Gerard’s superhero figures, throwing it as hard as he could so it would hit the door. And with a loud bang it did, Frank could hear Gerard turn off the water.

Gerard was at the door with a towel around his waist. It was like all in slow motion. Gerard came running to Frank, holding the towel in place. The older man, collapsed on his knees, Grabbing Frank into his arms reaching for the phone.

“You’re gonna be okay baby, I promise.” Gerard rocked the smaller man in his arms. Grabbing Gerard’s hand, Frank looked up at his boyfriend.

“I love you.” Frank choked out.

“Always, baby, always.”

Once the ambulance came, they took the hurt man out of his arms. Running to get pants and a shirt on, he followed the ambulance with his car. When they pulled Frank out of the truck he was right there grabbing his hand.

“Don’t let them take me.” Frank coughed.

“It’s okay baby, everything is gonna be okay. I love you so much. I’ll be here I promise I’m not going anywhere.” Than a nurse stopped in front of him, letting Frank go behind the doors, all he could hear was Frank calling for him and that broke his heart.

Running his hands through his hair, he called his parents cause there was no way he was getting through this alone.

Clasping his hands together, he rested his thumbs against his lips, closing his eyes.

“Okay, I’m gonna try this. Please, God. Please, I’m in love with him, I- I wanna take care of him for the rest of my life. I wanna make him smile, laugh, jezz that laugh. I can hear it even when he’s not around. I promise if you help me I’ll take off work, I’ll even take a vacation with Frank; take him away for a while. I promise not to take my work life out on him; I promise to never get mad at him anymore. Please whoever is up there, I just want to love him and I haven’t been with him long enough. Mikey, if you’re one of the people listening, please help. Please.”

“Gerard!” He heard his mother call, as she walked into the waiting room. Sighing, he hugged his mother and broke down on her shoulder.

“Mr. Way.” Gerard had his head on his mom’s lap, sleeping. Shooting up, he almost fell over his own two feet. “Hi, I’m Frank’s doctor, Mr. Boxer. Um, we had to proceed with surgery on Frank to close up that ulcer. The reason he was getting sick was because it actually got bigger. Um, we got it to close, which is good, but we had to take out his gallbladder. There was a lot of bleeding, but he is okay for now. The ulcer could open again, but its highly unlikely due to the medication we will give him. You can go see him.” Gerard smiled, running down the hallways.

“Looks like we are going on vacation.” Gerard whispered to himself.

Playing with Frank’s hair, his eyes began to open, slowly.

“Baby,” He whispered, grabbing his older boyfriend’s hand.

“Oh, Frankie, I thought I lost you. I swear-“

“Never gonna lose me.” Frank shook his head.

“Should I feel this numb?” Frank giggled.

“Well, you did have surgery honey.” Gerard smiled, bringing his clasped hand to his lips.

“Mmm, no wonder. Well, did they fix me?”

“They did, my Frankie is as good as new. And I have a surprise for you when we get out of the hospital.”

“What?” Frank whined. “You can’t tell there’s a surprise!” Gerard laughed, moving his seat closer to Frank’s bed.

“Well, you want to go on a little getaway with me? I rented a cabin for a week up state, so we can be alone, and relax.” Gerard brushed his lips against the younger mans neck.

“Yes, please.” Frank moaned. “Can we not get out of bed either, like the whole week? Oh an no clothing, so we don’t have to pack at all.” Humming against Frank, he bit lightly on his skin.

“I love you.”

“I love you more.”

“Oh no, here we go again.” But before they could start arguing Frank, placed a hand on his lovers face, pulling him to his lips.
