I'll keep you safe.

Frank's POV

I was at work miles away listening to the music we had playing in the background when someone came over to the till.
"Hey, hope you managed to find what you was looking for." I said and looked at the person who was literally wrapped up in layers of clothing because it was cold outside.
"Not really." He said and looked down as I scanned his items.
"What are you looking for? I might be able to help." I said.
"I'm just looking for my brother. But he's not where he normally is and I beginning to think something has happened to him." He said and looked at me and round his eyes me reminded me of Gerard.
"I'm sure he's fine." I said and smiled at him.
"You don't know my brother. He's everything but fine, he's a mess." He said and handed me the money he was holding.
"What's your brothers name?" I asked.
"Gerard. Gerard Way." He said and he looked at me.
"My shift has finished now. Fancy a coffee I need to tell you something." I said and the boy nodded.
"Mikey." He said and offered me his hand.
"Frank." I said and took his hand and we went to this coffee shop.

"You don't need to worry about Gerard." I said as we sat down.
"What do you mean? He's on the streets in this weather I'm hoping he's found somewhere warm to stay until this weather goes away." Mikey said and took a sip of his coffee.
"Okay, so I used to take Gerard a coffee when I went to work with some cake or whatever. There was one night when it was really really cold and I went to look for him and found him nearly frozen to death." I said and looked at Mikey who looked like he had tears in his eyes.
"Please tell me he's okay." He said quietly.
"Yeah, he's okay. In fact part from him not eating much or sometimes losing his mind a little he more than okay." I said and Mikey smiled.
"So where's he staying?" He asked.
"He's staying with me." I said.
"But you don't know what he's like." Mikey said.
"I know my boyfriend well enough to trust him." I said letting the boyfriend part slip of my tounge before I could stop myself.
Mikey looked at me shocked.
"But you don't know what he's capable off. He's dangerous when he's off his meds." Mikey said.
"I say he's coping very well without his meds since I haven't seen him pop a single pill into his mouth and I bet he had to live without them while he was on the streets." I said and drunk my coffee.
"Because you might know the old Gerard. This Gerard I know is kind, loving and to be honest he a fucking softie who likes nothing more than watching some crap on TV and being close to me. Even if what you are saying about Gerard is true, I will love him no matter what. He's had his family give up on him and throw him on the streets. I am fucked if I'm going to let that happen to him again." I said seriously and looked at Mikey.
He looked at me shocked and hurt in his eyes.
"I want to see him." He said quietly.
"Not today. I need to speak to Gerad as it is his choice if he sees you or not." I said which was true Gee was old enough to make his own choices.
"So that'll be a no then knowing Gerard." Mikey said sadly and looked down.
"Let me talk to him. He'll listen to me." I said softly which made Mikey smile.
"Thanks Frank." He said quietly and drunk his coffee and went off while I quickly finished mine and went home.

I opened the door and saw Gee wondering round holding his arm.
"Hey Gee. What's wrong with your arm?" I said as I shut the door behind me and walked over to him.
"Don't be mad at me. Don't hurt me." Gee said quietly not looking at me.
"Babe, its me, its Frank." I said softly and walked in front if him and he looked at me and fear was in his eyes.
"Baby talk to me. What's going on." I said quietly and put my hand on his arm.
He looked at my hand and looked at me.
"Its me Gee. You can trust me you know that you can trust me." I said and Gee nodded and I opened my arms out for a hug and Gee walked over and I pulled him into a hug.
"I've got you. I'll always have you okay, I'll never let anyone or anything hurt you." I said quietly and kissed the side of his head which made Gee tighten his hold on me.
"As much as I love this bear hug but I can't breath Gee." I said and patting his back so he would loosen his grip on me.
"Sorry." Gee chuckled and kissed me.
"I'll forgive you." I said and kissed him again.
"Shell we sort your arm out? I need to talk to you about something." I said and Gee nodded not before he grew really anxious about what I said.
"Hey, its nothing bad I have to talk you about. Its about a person but I'll talk about it since your sorted out." I said and kissed him.

Once I sorted Gee out we was sat on the sofa cuddling watching Dead pool, because who doesn't like that film, and I was pigging out on pizza while Gee was taking in slowly eating his.
"Someone called Mikey came in the shop today." I said casually which made Gee choke on his bit of pizza.
After he'd finished choking he put his pizza down and looked down and sadness just washed over him.
"My brother Mikey?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah. He's been looking all over town for you. He thought you was dead before I said I knew you." I said.
"I was better of dead in his eyes. His and my parents." Gee spat which took my by surprise but it soon worn off.
"Don't say that Gee. He has been worried sick about you." I said.
"Did you see anything on him? Injuries? Anything?" Gee asked.
"He had a cut on his lip but it looked like it was a few weeks old. He also had a oldish looking bruise on his cheek." I said and Gee looked down.
"He wants to see you." I said and Gee looked at me and looked away.
"No." Gee said sadly.
"Gee, you want to see him I know you want to see him. Why don't you want to see him?" I said.
"Because I wrote him a suicide note telling him that if I survived it then he was not to come looking for me. And if he did I'll just run again." Gee sniffed.
"How long a go was that?" I asked quietly and started to mess with his hair.
"5 years ago." He whispered.
"Maybe its time that you see each other. He really misses you Gee and by the look of your face you miss him as well." I said and Gee moved closer to me.
"If I do can you stay with me?" He asked and looked at me.
"Course I will." I said and kissed him.
"I'll see him then." Gee said quietly.
"I'm proud of you Gee." I said and kissed the top of his head and messed with his hair while we watched this film.
