I had set the alarm before I went to sleep the day after, so, as much as I wanted to stay in bed with Gerard all day, I also had to keep in mind I planned to spend a really nice day with him. I was going to take him to my favorite place ever (every place was my favorite if I was with him, but you get the point).

- Rise and shine, my love! - I said cheerfully, stretching and sitting on the bed beside him. I was really fucking energetic and that surprised me. Like, a lot.

I told him about the location before. It was a glade with lots of flowers and really peaceful, but the part I always enjoyed the most was that it was near the beach so we could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and the sand in the distance. I remember when I was a young boy, my grandma used to take me away from the city every afternoon during summer, to this place.
My grandma... She was so pretty. you could tell by her features she was obviously Mediterranean, she was a stunning brunette, and age didn't seem to pass her by, honestly. She looked like an angel. And I missed her so fucking much. I missed her soups, her hugs, her smell, her smile. And I missed the excitement she showed whenever I told her something new, or whenever I showed her something I drew or learned how to play on the guitar. She loved watching me play. If she was with me right now, I'd tell her about Gerard and how damn happy he made me the past few months. I'd tell her about how he took care of my knee, of how he always protected me. And how I loved him with all my heart and soul.
I was waking up Gerard excitedly about the plans we made, but my thoughts roamed to a different way and a single tear slipped as I stood silently next to him. He started shifting around the blankets, as he woke up, yawning and stretching his whole body. However, he noticed the sudden change that was coming through me.

- Hey sweetheart, is everything okay? - He asked, concern filling his still hoarse voice from waking up. He sat next to me and placed my head on his shoulder, pulling me in for a hug, as he stroked my hair gently.
- It's nothing, I just started remembering things about my grandma. She'd be so happy to meet you, baby, she would love you, I know that. You make me so happy, Gerard. You're my translation of happiness on physical form.

Gerard was fully awake by now, with me nuzzling against his neck, sniffing quietly every five seconds.

- Frankie, it's okay, I'm here. I've always been, I'm not stopping that now, am I?
- I just... I've been so lonely before I met you, and-
- You don't have to picture yourself like that, not anymore. I plan to stay. - He gently lifted my chin up with his finger so I was facing him, at the same time he placed carefully his thumb over my lips, tears streaming down my cheeks. I still can't explain his amazing ability to calm me down even with the slightest touch. I don't think I will ever be able to do it.
- We can stay at home if you want. But if the place you told me about is as beautiful as the description you made, then I would want nothing else other than going there and seeing my beautiful boyfriend with a beautiful smile on his face. I love you, Frankie, and being together doesn't stand only for the good. It's for the bad too. I hope you have that on your mind, alright? - He smiled at me, gently removing the hair that was sticking to my forehead with his long fingers. I loved his hands touching my skin. God, could he actually get more lovable?
- No, I want to go there. I think it'll do good to me. Plus, I'm going to be with you, I want to take you there so you can enjoy that place with me. It's almost like a very special part of me that I'm giving to you. - I stared at my lap with the ghost of a smile wandering on my lips, while I curled my fingers on his.
- I feel honoured, sweetheart. - I raised my head just to check if he had blushed as he said that. I was right, completely right.
- Well, you should. - I teased him, raising an eyebrow at him.
- We should get dressed, then, don't you think?
- Well, yes, but... - I started analyzing his body, running my fingertips over his ribs. He was getting goosebumps because of it and I was enjoying walking my hands around his skin. I always did.
- B-But, what? - He stuttered, while giving me a smirk. Damn fucker seemed to know exactly what was going through my mind. I mean, we were naked in bed, after all.
- But... We need to have a nice breakfast first! Our day has to start properly! Y'know, to handle the energy spent throughout the day. - I answered, amused to see the disappointment that filled his face. He was still giving me a full ''fuck me'' stare, though. And I was loving to torture him.
- You're so dead, Frankie. You have no idea. - He murmured, his arms still crossed. He was smiling, though, so I'm thinking he was going to kill me in a very pleasant way.

I loved watching Gerard cooking. We always took turns on who would make breakfast, but since I'm the lazy little shit of the relationship - and he was well aware of that since we met - it was up to him to cook breakfast. Of course, he made his heavenly pancakes and I took care of the coffee part, at least, just because I wanted to tease him a bit more. However, I failed miserably because that asshole put the coffee filters right on the highest cabinet, and I tried to reach it on my tippy toes. He started laughing at me - obviously, my boyfriend loves every opportunity he has to mock me - and lifted me up like a little baby, enough so I could reach the fucking coffee filters.

- You know you don't really have to make that much effort to seduce me, honey. - He said as he sat me on the kitchen counter, leaning his forehead against mine, while standing between my legs. Well, shit.
- You did that on purpose just to make fun of me! - I whined.
- Well, I might have. - He smirked, obviously amused by the situation.
- Yeah, right, go back to your delicious pancakes, asshole. I'm starving. - I said as I jumped off the counter, making my way to the coffee machine.

After our breakfast, we prepared some snacks together, because, y'know, we were going to spend the day there and that way we could have some sort of a picnic there. That's cute, right?

I drove the car to the place. As usual, there was no one there. I was happy about that, it had been a few years since she was gone, and in the meantime someone could have found that place, although I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. I left the car right where she used to leave hers, next to a fallen tree. Things were exactly the same as the last time I went there.
We got out of the car, grabbing our backpack with snacks and the large blanket that I brought, along with another one because I was sure that the weather wasn't going to be warm by the end of the afternoon. We were two weeks away from Autumn. Even though during the day it was stil warm, as soon as the sun would set it could get pretty cold.

- I have everything. - Gerard announced beaming at me, closing the door. He was adorable.
- Yeah, me too. - I told him as I gazed at him, pressing a soft kiss against his lips. He was blushing so had I thought he was going to explode. Also, he remained still with a smile across his face and his eyes closed, as he hummed happily.
- Babe, wake up, we gotta go. - I laughed.
- Um, sorry baby. Your lips are magical, my mind gets all fuzzy when you kiss me like that. - I couldn't help but to feel my cheeks burning as I grinned.
- Stop being such a dork.
- Stop being so damn beautiful.
- If you leave me, I think I will.
- Well, guess who's going to be beautiful forever then?
- Huh. Guess I won the lottery.
- Let's go, sugar.
- Yeah, sweetheart. I love you.
- I love you too, silly. - He held my hand as I guided him through a small path.

He brought his camera and he wouldn't stop taking pictures at every flower he saw as we walked. And he looked overwhelmingly beautiful.

- Babe, by the time we get there you'll run out of space in the memory card.
- Oh, shit, yeah, I guess I forgot about that. - He realised, laughing at himself.

I stopped and he stopped walking aswell.

- We're here! - I told him, putting the stuff I was carrying on the grass. Damn, the glade looked even more beautiful than the last time. Was it the light? Better, even, was it Wizard Way?
- Wow, Frankie, baby, this is stunning. - He said, almost in transe. His head was looking in all kinds of directions, analyzing carefully very shadow, every corner. His lips slightly parted and his red hair shining in the sun. Fuck, this man is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my entire life. And I had him all for myself. How could I ever believe that was true? He was a living dream, he was heaven on earth. My own red haired heaven.

We were laying down on our blanket, hearing the waves in the distance. I was smoking, pouring the smoke into the air, one arm underneath my head. I was looking at the clouds, all the birds that were flying by. Gerard, however, had other plans, and took a picture of me while he was next to me.

- I think this is my favorite picture of you. - He beamed, showing it to me. Damn, that was really a cool picture. And he was the one who took it. I love him so much.
- I love you so much.
- I love you too. - He smiled at me, holding my hand and pulling me for a kiss.

It was one of the best kisses I had shared with him, to be honest. It was slow, soft, and passionate. My hand tangled in his hair gently, pulling him even closer, our tongues sliding on eachother's mouths, full of love and happiness. This was magical. Truly magical. We eventually stopped, though, smiling at eachother and staring onto eachothers eyes in silence. I broke that silence, nevertheless.

- Hey, how about I'd show you the beach?
- Are you su-
- Baby, no one knows about this place or the beach. Trust me. It's like... How can I translate it into dorky language... It's like we're on another dimension. So don't worry, alright? - I assured him. He chuckled.
- You're a dork.
- You love me. Shall we? - I gestured towards the beach.
- After you, honey.

We walked for like, five minutes, until we got to the beach. It wasn't that much of a beach, the sea had taken away alot of the sand that was there a few years ago. It still was pretty.

- Hey, Frankie?
- Wh- Ah! Gee! You're so dead! - I laughed mischivously. That motherfucker kicked water at me! He wanted war, I was about to give him war. We kicked water at eachother while we laughed around.
- Stop! We're gonna get soaked! - He whined, laughing loudly as he ran away from me.
- Let's take off our clothes then! - I told him, with a hint of teasing in my voice that he obviously understood. We had our swimwear under our jeans so it would be better - I told him while we were at home to do so, because, y'know, beach, sand, water. We threw our clothes to the sand and ran back to the water, carrying on with our fight, falling whenever the waves hit our legs.
- Ha-ha, you can't catch me! - He mocked as he ran. He was so happy, and I was so fucking happy too. Even though it was already autumn, it sure was hot that day.

For his misfortune he tripped and since I was more worried with running, I fell onto him. He blushed. I blushed. The waves were far enough to just hit our feet weakly. And then I kissed his lips, salty from the water. I kissed him and rested one hand beside his head as the other one cupped his cheek, which had a bit of sand scattered in it. Again, magic.
And then I looked at him, smiling, utterly mesmerized by his beauty.
I was so fucking in love with that man.
Making love at the beach was a first for me. And I was so happy when he decided to break our kisses to tell me the exact same thing. We made love. We felt each part of our bodies slowly, we tasted the salty water that covered our bodies and we couldn't be bothered to remember the actual taste of the salt in our mouths.

- This was the best day of my life, Frankie. Like, I'm literally speechless. - He was speechless. Because so was I, and I understood what he was trying to say.
- You don't need words to explain how you are feeling, my love. I couldn't have asked for a better day, either.

It was just me and him. The sound of the breeze caressing the leafs. The waves crashing at the beach, in the distance. We eventually took a little nap in the sun, and before we knew it we were waking up and it was already night. A beautiful moonlight greeted us, and since there were no artificial lights there, all the stars in the sky were visible. We even saw some comets, too, like, five of them, and we'd always make a wish whenever one passed across the sky.
Eventually, the cold became more intense, even though we had that spare blanket with us, so we shared a kiss and cleaned everything up before we left. All the packages that were empty were thrown on a bag that we would put in the trash as soon as we got home.
Making our way to the car, and already during the drive home, Gerard held my hand the whole time, always smiling. I was so happy to see he was happy. In fact he seemed so happy that I even began wondering if his face wasn't hurting yet.
We were so tired from all the running and making love, we just shared a romantic shower and slid under the covers, kissing eachother. I set the alarm to see Mikey the day after and saw that Gerard was already sleeping, with a little smile spread across his lips. I rested my head against his chest and felt my eyes closing.

I loved Gerard more than anything. And that was the last thing that came to my mind as I fell asleep.

Notes

thank you to all of the people who came talk to me about what's been going on. from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
oh, and I wanted to suggest you all something. how about I started making little playlists with two or three songs to listen while reading the chapters, from now on? I think that would be fun, but you have the decision here! for this chapter, I would have to choose High By The Beach and Yayo, by Lana del Rey, Nights In White Satin, by The Moody Blues, and maybe The Wilhelm Scream, by James Blake. oh, and I'm Into You, by Chet Faker! that song is awesome.

also, I'm dedicating the next chapter to whoever figures out the references I put on this one! I'm not saying it's about my chem lyrics or the story itself. but it is about my chem lyrics and the story itself.
