A Chemical Christmas (Frerard)

The sun was shining as I opened my eyes, but the air remained cold. I jumped out of bed and headed for the kitchen to make a nice, hot coffee. Halfway down the hall, I turned around and decided to check on Gerard. I crept up to his door, just in case he was asleep…he wasn’t. “Gerard, honey, are you okay? What’s wrong? Have you been awake all night?” I asked, opening the door slowly as I walked in. He just nodded. So I tried again.
"What’s wrong, you can tell me?"
He just shook his head and now I really wanted to know. I wanted to help. I left his room, leaving the door wide open.

Surprisingly, Mikey wasn’t watching TV, he was in the shower. I heard the water stop so I poured a coffee for Mikey too and left a little note. I grabbed our coffees and headed back to Gerard’s room.
"Gerard, I brought you coffee.” I sat it on the bedside table. Gerard just looked at it, but he didn’t dare touch it. I sat on the little gap on his side of the bed.
"Please, talk to me,” I said, placing my hand on his shoulder. Gerard didn’t answer, nor did he move. “Fine, you don’t have to tell me, im just worried about you. I’m always here if you need me,” I assured, planting a kiss on his forehead before grabbing my coffee and leaving. I stood outside the door and waited a moment. Sure enough, Gerard sat up and drank his coffee. I smiled and wandered aimlessly back to the kitchen, taking a seat on a stool at the bench. I began to wonder how long it would take before Gerard would talk to me again. I poured another coffee and watched some TV.

“Hey, Frank,” Mikey said, cheerfully.
"Hey,” I replied.
"What do you want to do today?” asked Mikey.
"Do you want to hang out?”
"Yeah, okay.”
"It’s only a few days until Christmas, but let’s go bowling.”
"Okay, I’ll just grab my wallet,” I smiled.
"No, my shout,” offered Mikey.
"Aww, thanks Mikey, I’ll just get dressed. Give me five.”

I walked out of my room. Once again I was in my Misfits jumper and my skinnies. I was too lazy to look nice. I knew Mikey was paying, but I decided to
grab my wallet anyway. Mikey smiled, and we walked to the city.

“Are you and Gerard, okay?” Mikey asked.
"No, I wish we were though. He won’t talk to me,” I sighed loudly.
"Oh, sorry,” Mikey apologised sincerely. “You could have invited him, you know?”
"We need space, but thanks, Mikey.”
"I don’t mean to pry, but Frank, do you like Gerard?”
"What do you mean?” I asked, acting dumb.
"You know very well what I mean.”
"Well, I think he’s gorgeous and stuff but I don’t have a crush on him.” I lied.
“Could have fooled me Frank,”

It didn’t take long to walk to the arcade in the city and it wasn’t very busy. Mikey payed and we sat down to put on our shoes. I found a blue ball and Mikey used a purple one. Mikey won the first two games and bought me lunch so I thought it was only fair for me to pay for the other games.

“Mikey, I never knew you were so good at bowling,” I complimented, as we walked down the street.
"Oh, thanks. I’m not that good,” he blushed.
"Yes you are. Now, you payed for bowling and you brought me lunch so let me take you shopping,” I insisted.
"No, I couldn’t le–“
"Yes,” I interrupted, taking his hand and dragging him into the closest store. Mikey looked around, eyes wide and his jaw open.
"No,” he said shaking his head.
"It’s too expensive here I couldn’t possibly let you buy me something.”
"Shut up Mikey," I laughed. We split up and decided to look around. Mikey headed over to the shirts and I walked towards the shoes, spotting a nice pair of black boots I knew Gerard would love. I found his size and picked up the box. I found a black pair of converse and grabbed those too. I noticed Mikey was still looking at shirts so I headed over to look at hoodies. I found the perfect hoodie for Mikey. It had Dawn of the Dead printed on it and I just knew he would love it. I walked to the counter in a rush hoping Mikey wouldn’t see what I bought and the lady offered to wrap my things and put my Converse in a bag. Then I waited patiently at the counter so I could pay for Mikey’s things. He brought a Halloween shirt and a guitar strap with Frankenstein on it which I assumed was for his Bass. “Thanks,” Mikey smiled and we headed home.

We walked inside and took off our shoes. To great surprise, Gerard had finally left his room. He was on the couch, in a ball, watching Psycho. Do these boys watch anything other than their horror movies? I smiled to see that he had finally come out of his cave. I tried to say hi, but he didn’t give me a response and it was getting late. I didn’t realise how long we had been out. Mikey thanked me again and joined Gerard on the couch. I said my goodnights and headed to my room for some sleep. I hadn’t exactly been sleeping right the last couple of days and I needed to catch up. I think it may have been caused by all my worrying about Gerard. I placed the presents with the rest and slid into bed.
