I wake to the sound of small snores, making me pop open one eye. I look over to the beautiful form lying just inches from me and take in all of his inevitable perfection. His dark hair was sprayed out on my white bedsheets and pillow cases, his mouth open slightly.
He looked so happy that way. This was what I’d missed the most those years I was gone, the simplicity of the beautiful sight displayed before me, something so pure that it almost drove me insane. It seemed so far away then, this sight of him, but he’s right here.
I let my fingertips trail along his chest, the smoothness of it almost making me gasp. I stop when I reach the top of his neck, or more specifically, the other half of my heart necklace. It lies smoothly on his pale neck, making the sight all the more perfect. I sigh and kiss his head gently, making him stir.
I almost think he’s asleep again when he stops moving, but he pops an eye open, making me let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding.
“Morning beautiful.” He grunts, making me smile widely.
“Good morning my love,” I respond happily, cuddling into his side.
“Your so beautiful.” He says, his smile sounding out in his voice. I grin and shake my head, before leaning over from my spot cuddled into his side to kiss his chest.
“Mmm…” He groans, grabbing my hips and pulling me ontop of him so that our chest were together.
“I don't wanna get up…” I whined, clutching onto him.
“We don't have to for..” He says, trailing off and leaning over to look at my alarm clock. “Another toe hours.”
“Good. Let's make snacks and watch movies.” I say childishly, sitting up to straddle him.
“Are we fifteen again Frankie?” He snickers, his nose scrunching up as he laughs.
“For today? Hell yeah.” I respond, grinning at him.
“What about Cherry?” He questions, looking happily at me.
“That child sleeps like a damn rock. She won't get up until we make her. And even if she does, it'll be fun to have her in her with us, watching movies and eating snacks, don't you think?” I ask, looking down at him.
“Definitely.” He grins, nodding at me. I give him a peck on the lips before getting out of bed and slipping into one of the pairs of the boxers of the floor (which may oy may not be Gerards). I walk into the kitchen, making coffee quickly before rummaging around the cupboards to find snacks.
I end up with white chocolate covered pretzels, peanut m&m’s, slat and vinegar chips, and sour gummy worms.
I grab all of our snacks and coffee, trudging back to my room. I push the door open with my foot, shutting it behind me before sliding back into bed with Gerard. I hand him his coffee cup and set all the snacks down, finding he had already put on a movie.The very beginning of ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ was displayed on the screen, making me grin.
“Gerard, put on your boxers and a shirt.” I demand, getting up to do the same.
“Why?” He asks confusedly, looking at me.
“I wanna wake up Cherry. This’ll be good family time.” I state, looking nervously at him. I didn't know how he’s react to the ‘family’ line, but I’d hope he liked the idea of us being a family.
A dysfunctional, odd, anxious, but still good family.
To my prosperity, he just grins and nods, getting up and putting on some p.js. I end up in flannel pajama bottoms and an Anthrax shirt.
I walk quietly over to Cherry’s room, opening the door. Her sleeping form lies inert on her bed, making me smile. I walk over to her bed, picking her up ever so gently.
“Cherry,” I call musically, curling her up in my arms. I kiss her head gently, making her nose scrunch up and her body smirk. “C’mon darling, open up your eyes.”
“Shh…” She whines, squeezing her eyes shut.
“Oh, okay Cherry. I guess you don't get to watch movies and eat snacks with me and Gerard…” I trial off dramatically, sighing a little.
“‘Rard?” She cries out, opening her eyes suddenly. I grin and nod making her squeal. I laugh happily at her little nickname she’d adapted for Gerard. ‘Rard’ was by far the cutest nickname there is for him.
I walk back to mine and Gerard’s room, Cherry grinning up at me the whole time. When we reach the room I find Gerard fully clothed on the bed with the curtains drawn shut, giving the room a movie find of feel. Cherry scrambles over to Gerard when I set her down, squealing when he hugs her tightly in his arms.
“‘I missed you ‘Rard!” She cries out, hugging him tightly.
“You just saw me yesterday night, silly goose.” He laughs, smiling down at her.
“Yeah, but I missed you in my dreams.” She says in a ‘dun’ tone. He laughs and sets her beside him, making me walk over to the bed and sit on the other side of the bed.
I lean over to where my arm is around Gerards shoulders and Cherry is snuggled between us.
We watch the move quietly, each of us making dumb little comments under our breath when something interest us in the movie.
Were completely quiet until suddenly I feel chips hit my face, making me jerk in surprise. I look over at Gerard and Cherry, each of them laughing their asses off. I glare at them, brushing chips off me. I pretend to feign anger, making there laughing turn into apologetic facial expressions.
“That was unbelievably rude,” I begin, trying not to burst into laughter. “I suppose I’ll just have to…” I trail off, jumping for the pretzels, throwing a handful at each of them. “Get revenge!” I shout, laughter pouring out of my mouth. Cherry laughs/screams with delight, getting up and getting a handful of gummy bears.
She flicks her wrist, sending them flying at my chest. Before a can react I feel several small cold things being shoved down the back of my shirt, making me turn around and look at Gerard. I scramble to get them out of my shirt, laughing the entire time. I find that several m&m had been shoved down my shirt. I fling them at Gerard, making Cherry laugh and grab the bag of gummy worms as she suddenly starts grabbing handfuls of them, throwing them at us. I retaliate with the pretzels as does Gerard with the m&m’s.
We’re all throwing things at each other, each of us yelling invisible things, laughing when we get hit. Everything's a blur of tasty foods and human body parts, Cherry’s laughter seeming to be the only sound I could hear. Just as I’m plunged in the face with a pillow, a hear a sharp sound, makin us all freeze. We look over to Mikey, looking worriedly at us.
“What the fuck,” He says, his voice antagonizing and accusing. “Are you doing,” He continues, stepping further into the room. He grabs the pretzels from me, glaring at us. “Without me?!” He shouts, suddenly throwing a handful of pretzels at me.
With that, the entire thing starts again. I scramble over to Gerard, hiding behind him.
“Protect me!” I squeal, dodging a handful of Gummies from Cherry. He laughs, grabbing m&m’s and throwing them at both Cherry and Mikey.
“Always, babe,” He breathes, grinning at me. I grin back, pressing my lips to his. Were suddenly ripped apart by a pillow hitting the side of our faces, making me laugh in slight pain.
“Were all out.” Mikey states, out of breath. I laugh and look around, finding myself horrified by the mess.
“Jesus, we're gonna half to clean all this up.” I whine, falling back onto the bed.
“Or,” Mikey says, brushing numerous foods of the edge of my bed and perching himself on it. “We could ignore it for right now, snuggle up together and finish the damn movie that's playing?”
I laugh and nod, liking the idea of putting it off.
I get off the bed, taking all the pillows and blankets off. Every one (with the exception of Cherry) helps brush off all the food from the bed. When we finish I remake it, crawling back onto it. Gerard snuggles up next to me and Mikey and Cherry lie on their stomachs at the end of the bed. Despite having just woke up under an hour ago, I began to drift. Though, I suppose you're never not tired when you're parenting.
As I drift I think about something I never would have allowed myself to six months ago. I think about mine and Gerard’s wedding. I decided in my head that'd he’d walk down the aisle. Mikey would walk beside him, Cherry just behind them, spreading flower petals as he walked. The entire wedding would be in white, with the exception of my tux. It would be a medium sized wedding, and even though she’s dead, as along as I know I’m pretending, my mother would be in the front row. She’s dressed in a red dress that hugs her body, a proud look on her elegant features. She’s there, holding my dad’s hand as he stands in a white dress shirt and black tux pants. Ray and Bob are sitting beside them, all of the rows filled with mine and Gerard’s friends and family.
Then, I image him finally walking down the aisle, a grin on his beautiful face. The music is slow and agonizing, making me nervous. It seems to take years, centuries for him to get to me, but when he does i'm more happy then I’d ever been. The priest begins talking, making me and Gerard hold hands. I don't listen though, I’m just watching his beautiful eyes stare back into mine, loving and passionate. Then, it's time for vows. Gerard goes first.
“Frank Iero, you are my lover and my teacher, you are my model and my accomplice, and you are my true counterpart. I will respect you, encourage you, and cherish you, in health and sickness, through sorrow and success for all the days of my life. I love you.” He says, making my heart swoon and my breath hitch. His eyes search mine and i'm positive he finds nothing but love in them.
The it's my turn. I didn't even know I had anything prepared until the words roll of my damn tongue.
“I take you to be my partner for life, I promise to live above all else to live in truth with you, and to communicate fully and fearlessly. I give you my hand and my heart, as a sanctuary of peace and warmth and pledge my love, devotion, faith, and honor as I join my life with yours.” I say, my voice emotional. He looks at me so lovingly I want to melt.
“You may now kiss your partner.” The priest state's, smiling. I slam my lips against his, but suddenly the entire image starts to fade.
I know I’m falling asleep, but I don't want to. I try to force my eyes open, but It doesn't happen. So, while my mind is still semi-working, I force myself to try to speak.
“I..want to marry you.”
