A Chemical Christmas (Frerard)
Chapter 8: Salty Kisses
I woke up to the rain tapping softly against my window. For once, it wasn’t sunny, and it wasn’t snowing. Now it was only one more day until Christmas and I was still eager to hear what Gerard had to say, even if I thought I already knew what he was going to say. I pulled up the covers and smiled at the rain. I loved the rain and I was so comfortable I could have stayed in bed all day. I flipped the covers and tip toed to the kitchen. It was only early and no one else seemed to be awake. I made it to the kitchen without making a sound and poured myself a coffee as quietly as possible and snuck back to my room. Luckily the covers were still warm when I returned and I slipped back into bed. I took a sip from my coffee and sat it on the bedside table. I stared out the window at the rain, when there was a small tap at my door. The door creaked open and there was Gerard. He stood in the doorway for a moment, holding one arm and staring at his feet. He was so adorable when he was nervous. “Can I talk to you, Frank?” Gerard asked.
“Yeah, of course.”
"It’s about the other day,” he stated.
"You’re here to tell me what you two were talking about?” I asked, sounding hopeful.
"Not exactly, no.” He moved closer and sat on the bed. “I’m here to apologise about the other day and for ignoring you yesterday. You were only trying to help. I’m so sorry Frankie.” “
"t’s okay Gerard.”
"No, it’s not!” Tears began to fill his eyes and I wondered how long he could hold his little secret in.
"It’s fine, don’t worry,” I assured. His lips got closer before he pushed them softly against mine. His tongue slid across my bottom lip and I opened my mouth too, letting our tongues embrace. Tears rolled down his cheeks and hit our lips, making the kiss taste of salt, but I didn’t dare to pull away. Gerard pulled away shortly after, but it was longer than the first time so I couldn’t exactly complain. He stared at me in shock as I tried to hide my happiness.
My heart was doing flips and I just couldn’t help but blush. Tears were still falling and his face was red with embarrassment as well as the crying. He jumped up and ran to his room in a hurry. I continued to sit there, processing the moment. “Gerard, come back!” I yelled, eventually running out after him. I stopped at his door and he sat on the edge of the bed.
“It’s okay, what just happened, doesn’t change anything Gerard, we’re friends. So, don’t stress too much over a kiss,” I smiled.
"We’re still cool?” he asked.
"Yeah, we’re cool. It was only a kiss Gerard. It doesn’t mean anything,” I lied.
I left his room and went back to mine. I decided since it was only one day left until Christmas that I should put the presents under the tree. There was only four, but we all knew it wasn’t going to be a big Christmas. Mikey was up and about decorating, so I decided to help. There wasn’t much to do. Just a little bit of holly, mistletoe and some Christmas lights. I knew they were just doing it for me and I really wished they hadn’t of gone to all this trouble. I did appreciate it though.
“Hey, you know you didn’t have to go to all this trouble because of me?” I told Mikey.
"Sure we did and besides, Gerard and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
"You two are the best friends anyone could have and thank you so much for letting me spend Christmas with you two.”
"Anytime,” Mikey replied.
As soon as the decorations were done I walked to the bathroom for a shower. The water was warm against my skin. I sat down and wrapped my arms around my legs, letting the water hit my back and drench my hair. He kissed me. Not on my forehead either. We really kissed, our tongues delicately searching and it lasted longer than the first kiss. It was perfect and now I don’t want to leave. Now I was positive he liked me. I knew he liked me.
I turned off the water and stepped out without slipping over. I got dressed and went to make some breakfast. I felt like toast, but then again I wasn’t really hungry so I skipped breakfast. Once again Gerard was out of his room and watching TV. I poured two coffees and sat next to him handing him his coffee.
"Thanks, “Gerard smiled.
"That’s okay.” I sat next to him on the couch and we decide to play the Wii and Mikey sat and watched. We hadn’t played in ages.
"Hey Gerard, I know you said I can stay for a few months, but are you sure you don’t want me to leave and start looking for a place of my own now?” I asked. Gerard looked at me as if he was trying to understand what I meant.
"Well, I want you to live here, with us. Only if you want to, you don’t have to.
Mikey what do you think? Can he stay?” Gerard asked Mikey.
"What kind of question is that? He’s our best friend Gerard. I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. It is clearly obvious that Gerard wants you here and so do I,” Mikey explained, smiling.
"N-no, I wouldn’t want to impose,” I mumbled.
"Yes, please stay Frankie,” Gerard begged.
"Thank you, really, I appreciate it,” I whispered, shuffling my feet. I stretched out my hand to Mikey and he grabbed it pulling him up. I wrapped an arm around each of them, pulling them in close for a big hug.
"I love you guys.”
"We love you too,” they said in sync with each other.

The afternoon remained quiet. Gerard was in his room, Mikey watched TV as he always did and I was stuck in my room, doing nothing. I stood up from my bed, and walked to Gerard’s room to see what he was up to. I knocked softly and opened the door. Gerard was drawing, but he flipped it over so I couldn’t see.
“What are you drawing?” I asked.
"Nothing.”
"You can show me, Gerard.”
"No I can’t.”
"Gerard, what’s that?” I said pointing at the wall. Of course there was nothing there, but Gerard looked anyway and I snatched the drawing off his bed.
"Frank, don’t!” Gerard frowned. It was a sketch of me; my black hair, the little scorpion on my neck, it was perfect and I loved it.
"Gerard it’s…its perfect,” I blushed. Gerard grabbed it from my hand and pushed me out of his room, slamming the door in my face. The door brushed the edge of my nose and I stared at the door in shock. Why was he so embarrassed? I thought it was really good. I wish I could just tell him I like him.
