That Smell

Frank's pov


"Twenty bodies were found last night, all were home less. Andrea will fill you in on what's happening, Andrea?"

I turned the tv off, they found all of the people that were killed, Gerard was asleep in the bedroom. I sighed loudly and ran my hand through my hair. Gerard fell asleep at 2am, he just cried himself out, I held him the whole time. "What are we going to do?" I mumbled to myself and got another mug of coffee, we've been here for a week now. Thank god we have a three week vacation from school. I sat at the table and flipped the laptop open, Mikey gave it to me before we left and saved a lot of helpful websites. I went to a few and read up on some very interesting things. Apparently a werewolf can be forced to shift when there isn't a full moon, this can happen if it is in danger. Interesting... Maybe that's what happened to Gerard... I flipped through another website and read about three pages. Werewolfs can also shift halfway as in meaning they can grow a tail or ears without becoming a full wolf. I giggled a little thinking about Gerard having fluffy little ears and a tail, that would be adorable. Werewolfs have heightened scenes in even in human from, they have incredible hearing and eye sight, scent is also very strong. Well that explains how Gerard can smell me from my house, we live like five miles away from each other. Werewolfs don't lose energy quickly, they can run at full speed for miles. Also explains why he likes going for walks, I stifled another giggle, he's like a dog. I looked at the time, wow it's already 5am. I yawned and turned the laptop off, I slowly got up and stretched. I got a lot of resource done, it's honestly really interesting, it's like I'm studying my boyfriend. If only I put in this much effort for school, not gonna happen. I slowly opened the bedroom door and shut it behind me. Gerard was still curled up in a ball hugging a pillow tightly as he slept. He looked so peaceful, I wonder if I scratch behind his ear... As I scratched behind his ear his leg started to twitch, I stifled a giggle and stopped scratching him. His leg relaxed and he nuzzled his cheek against his pillow, he's so god damn cute. I pulled my shirt off and my pants, I slid into bed next to him and noticed he was only wearing his boxers. I wrapped my arm around his waist and pulled him closer, he pushed his back against me and settled down again letting out a little sigh. His body was so warm, I yawned soflty and fell into a peaceful sleep.

I woke up with the stupid sun in my eyes, ugh, go away I'm trying to sleep. Gerard was still pressed up against me, still fast asleep in my arms. He really needed the rest, he hasn't slept in two days and hasn't been eating lately. He hasn't heard the news reports yet, I know they are going to make him feel worse. I slowly got out of bed and went into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I got a towel and walked back into the bedroom quietly so I didn't wake him up. Right when I was about to close the bathroom door I heard Gerard move around. "Frankie?" He yawned and slowly sat up, he stretched and looked over at me, I smiled back at him. "I was just about to take a shower, gonna join me?" I asked, Gerard's eyes widened as he stared back at me. "I-I... A-re you sure?" Gerard finally said not looking at me, his cheeks turning red, damn his cuteness. "Yeah babe." I said making him turn even more red, he slowly got out of bed and stood in front of me with his head down. "But... But I'm a monster a-and I don't want to h-hurt you." He sniffled trying to fight back tears, one slid down his cheek as he tried to steady his breathing. "Gerard, come here." I said softly, he was a few feet away, he took a few steps closer so we were a few inches apart but not touching, his gaze still fixed on the floor. "Look at me." I said softly, his breathing was normal again but he was still sniffling softly. "Gerard, look at me." I said a little bit more former, he flinched and slowly looked at me, his eyes were a little red. "You are not a monster and you are not going to hurt me." I said cupping his face in my hand. "Do you understand?" I asked making him hold his gaze with mine, he nodded his head. I pulled him closer and kissed him gently, he kissed back but wants as forceful as usual. I let go of his face and lot is hand, I pulled him into the bathroom and shut the door. I turned the shower on and waited for it to warm up, Gerard was still standing near the door were I left him. "Come." I said gently, he hesitated and then slowly walked over to me, his gaze on the floor again. I put my hand under his chin and tilting his head up, his big hazel eyes looking up at me. Those beautiful eyes that held his emotions, all I could see was sadness. "I love you, Gee." He just stared back at me, his eyes still filled with sadness. He's never not said it back to me before, I felt a little hurt, I frowned and turned away from him. The shower was the right temperature, I slowly slid my boxers of and stepped into the shower away form the water. Gerard was still standing there looking down at the ground again. "Gerard?" No response. "Gerard?" I said more forcefully making him flinch again, he finally looked up at me. "Why didn't you say it back?" I asked trying to read his face, still only sadness, tears started streaming down his face. "B-because I don't de-deserve you a-and I'm a m-monster a-and I d-don't want to h-hurt you." Gerard sobbed and fell to his knees, he cried into his hands. I got out of shower and knelt down beside him, he flinched away from me. "P-please do-don't get closer, I-I don't w-want you to g-get hurt." He sob curling up hugging his knees against his chest. "Gerard, listen to me. You are not going to hurt me, you are not a monster, and you do deserve me, I love you and nothing is going to change that." I said firmly, he shook his head and curled in on himself even more, his whole body shaking. "Get up." I said forcefully, he slowly got up still shaking and sniffling quietly. I took his hand and led him into the shower, his legs almost giving out again but I held him up. I started to wash his hair, rubbing his head, his eyes closed and he leaned into my touch. I got the soap and ran it over his chest and up his arms, over his stomach and down his legs. I turned him around and did his back and shoulders, I turned him back around and rinsed his hair out and washed the soap away. He took the soap from me and started washing my body, making his way down my chest and to my legs and then my back. He rubbed shampoo into my hair and rubbed my head, that felt really good. He rinsed my hair out and washed the soap away. I turned the shower off and ran the towel over his chest and arms. "I'm sorry." He whispered making me stop, I looked at him. "For what?" I asked a little confused. "For not saying it back." He said looking at me, his eyes still filled with sorrow and a now guilt. "It's okay, it's not you're fault." I said drying his hair off, he was already done drying me. "It is my fault, I love you so much and I made you upset. I don't want you to be upset, it hurts knowing that I made you upset and...and I so sorry, please forgive me." He said as his bottom lip quivered. "Shh babe, it's okay, I forgive you, don't cry." I said kissing his cheek, he sniffled and nodded. I pulled him into a hug, he held on to my tightly, I could tell he was trying not to cry. I took his hand and led out of the bathroom, he got dressed and I did the same.

"Gerard, please stop say that." I said trying to stay calm, he's been sobbing for the past hour now. "I'm a monster, I shouldn't be alive. I don't deserve you, you could do way better." He sobbed, he cried into his hands on the floor in the middle of the bedroom. He wouldn't let me get close to him at all, I had to stand at the bed and watch him cry. "If you're not gonna listen to me then I'm going out." I snapped and stormed out of the bedroom, I heard him following me. "Wh-where are you going?" He sniffled and watched me pull my convers on. "Doesn't matter, gonna go get some air." I snapped back making him wince. "I'll co-come with you." He sniffled grabbing his jacket from the couch. "No, you are staying here." I said pulling my jacket on and grabbing my phone, where the hell are the keys at? "B-but I don't..." I cut him off. "I am going out, I will be back later." I said trying to find the keys, where the fuck are they?! "But.." I cut him off again, he was really pissing me off now. "Where are the keys?" I asked turning to him, he looked down and pulled his sleeves over his hands. "Where are the keys, Gerard?" I asked more forcefully, he flinched and pulled them out of his pocket, I snatched them out of his shaking hand and turned to leave. I heard him following me as I made my way to the door, I turned back to him. "Can I come with you?" He asked not looking at me again. "No." I said and started to walk to the door again, he was still following me. "Gerard, stay." I said not looking back at him, when I got to the door he was still following me. "Gerard, stay." I ordered, he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with wide eyes. "B-but..." I stared him down making him take a step back. "Sit." I said, he didn't move from his spot. "Sit!" I ordered, he instantly sat down in the ground looking up at me helplessly, I felt bad for treating him like a dog but he needed to listen. I walked out of the house and got into the door, Gerard didn't follow, good. I started to drive down the dirt road and got on to a paved on driving in the direction of the small diner I saw that was about twenty miles away.

I slowly starting making my way down the dirt road again, I've been gone for about five hours. I did a lot of resource on werewolfs, wolves, and dogs. I found a lot of useful things and some stuff was extremely fascinating. I wasn't angry anymore, I felt really bad about how I treated him earlier. I got in two burgers to make it up to him. I got the boxes and walked up the stairs, all he lights were off, he must be asleep. I opened the door to hear whimpering, I turned the light on. Gerard was still in the same spot I told him to sit at, he hadn't moved an inch. He looked up at me with red puffy eyes. "Why are you still on the ground?" I asked a little shocked, he sniffled a little. "You didn't tell me I could move." He whimpered still looking up at me. "Oh... You can get up." I said, he slowly got up and stood watching me. "I got you food." I said handing him the boxes. "Thank you." He said not moving from his spot. "You can eat." I said still in a little shock, he didn't move for five hours because I told him to 'sit and stay', wow." Well he is practically a dog, wolves and dogs are very much alike. He turned and walked to the kitchen table and sat down. "A-are you mad a-at me?" He sniffled looking up at me as I leaned against the doorway, I shook my head and watched him nod as he relaxed a little. "I'm sorry." He said making me confused. "I made you upset again." He said tugging on his hair a little. "It's okay, Gerard, just eat and then we can go to bed." I said gently and sat down next to me, he slowly nodded and started to eat his hamburger. He finished both in about five minutes tops, he must've been really hungry. He got up throw the boxes away and followed behind me to the bedroom. I pulled my shirt off and pulled my pants off kicking them to the side with my shirt. I brushed my teeth and listened to Gerard in the bedroom as he got ready for bed. I got out of the bathroom, he was only in his black boxes as he looked through his back on the ground, his ass in the air. I kinda just took the view in, God he had a perfect butt, the black boxes against his pale skin wasn't helping. He finally stood up holding a book in his hand. I pretended like I was just walking out of the bathroom, I turned to me when he heard the door squeak. I smiled at him and he gave a small shy wave back, he walked past me into the bathroom and started brushing his teeth. I climed into bed and made my myself comfortable, Gerard got out of the bathroom and walked back over to his bad, his hips swaying slightly. Did he always walk like that? He picked his book up and walked over to the bed, he put his book on the bedside table and crawled under the covers. He left at least a foot between us, I frowned and scooted closer to him, I wrapped my arm around his waist and pulled him closer. "That's better." I mumbled pulling him against me, he relaxed and snuggled closer to me." Goodnight."
