it was only about an hour till it was time for Gerard to come over, he had a horrible day with his mother and the stroke. I'm not sure he is going to want to do much so maybe ill bring out some movies, make some food, and we could kick it in the front room. looking around the front room i notice how bad it looked, 'oh and that' but he didn't care about it this morning and I'm pretty sure his drunken self helped make the mess. well i should clean it up a little anyways. walking around the front room i picked up some clothes i wasn't completely sure was mine, some cigarette butts, and a couple beer cans. he can deal with the rest of my filth i thought when i heard a buzzing sound from my phone, it was a text from Gee.

GEE:hey i'll be heading that way soon i know i said 6 but i cant be here anymore

FRANK: okay its chill, ill be here when you show up. do you have a ride?

GEE: yea i do, Ray said he would give me one up there.

FRANK: okay well ill see you when you get here okay?

GEE: okay see you then

walking across the room to the kitchen i realized that now i had even less time to get everything ready and needed to get things done. i got out batter for making waffles because why not breakfast for finner right? and started making them up.

By the time Gerard got here it was 5:35 and dinner was made, he knocked hard on the door and when i opened it he looked like a wreck, tears still falling down his cheeks so i grabbed him up and hugged him, not noticing how awkward he became. when i let go i finally realized that i had been hugging him the way his ex girlfriend had, i was hugging the way any girl had ever hugged him. i looked at him blushing a little and told him that i was sorry. He just stared back and hell if i was going to let him get upset at the way i hugged him so i broke the silence asking if he would like to hang out, watch movies, and eat dinner. All he did was shrug and sat down on the couch so i brought him in a plate and turned on a movie.

by the time the movie was done i looked down at Gee, somehow during the movie I'm not sure when, we had started to cuddle. i looked at the clock it had gotten late and really dark

I decided to ask "how are you getting home?"

"I'm not sure, i text-ed Ray and he never text-ed back"

"well i have a spare bedroom if you want to stay the night, or you can kick it in here and watch TV"

"oh thanks man, ill definitely take you up on that deal."

"okay well i am going to head to bed, ill see you in the morning"

"okay night Frankie"

walking back to my bedroom all i could think about was Gerard, he was spending the night in my spare bedroom. i looked around my room once again that day, and took my shirt and pants off not worrying about Gerard or him being in the other room. laying on my bed i heard a noise that i assumed was Gee heading to bed when i heard a light tapping on my bedroom door.

"what is it??"

"sorry i was just going to ask if you had some pajama pants"

"yea i got some, but I'm to lazy to get off my ass to get them, so your going to have to come in here, don't turn on the light."

"okay fine"

as Gerard opens my door i recall that I'm laying on my bed in my underwear, so i have to hurry and get under my blanket.

"they are in the bottom drawer" i said quietly closing my eyes

"okay, ill just get them and go"

"okay, uh hey can you grab me those other pajama pants out of the drawer before you go?"

"yea... but if your not wearing them and your pants are on the floor what are you wearing??" said Gerard sounding a little scared but also like he was going to start to laugh.

"just give me the god damned pants..." i said looking in his direction, thanking myself for telling him to keep the light off, for if he hadn't he would see me blush.He tossed the pants at me and walked out of the room in a hurry. did i say something, oh wait I'm laying in my underwear, i didn't have to say anything...

when i woke up Gerard was getting ready to go, saying he was going to a job interview which i highly doubted sense he hadn't had a job in three years and was living at his brother Mikey's.

"i know you don't have an interview...I'm sorry about last night, i didn't think you were going to need pajamas"

"its fine frank. i guess your right i don't have an interview, but i should go. Mikey's going to start wondering where i went, i forgot to tell him i was headed here last night"

"well okay, text me or something later"

"okay sure ill text you. bye"

as Gerard walked out the door i sat on the couch. why did he act so weird towards me in my underwear? i mean we are both guys. i wonder what blue is up to. she hasn't text-ed yet, i mean its only been about a day and a half so i guess its fine, i didn't ask for her number so i cant text her. i guess its all just a matter of time.

---

its been a week, i have to go back to work. Gerard still hasn't text-ed me, neither has blue. its 5:00 getting ready for work, i work as a mechanic at a shop down the road. getting ready i pull on my black shirt and dark blue coveralls that i tie around my waist to use as pants, make my lunch and walk out the door. i don't usually use my car to get to work but today i fell quite lazy, a day to drive, so i get in my car and drive down the road. its not a long enough drive to listen to the radio so i don't dare turn it on.

when i get to work i see my co- workers wave and flip me off like the good friends they are and i roll down my window and shout "love you too fuckers"

Getting out of the car i see bob, why is he here? he doesn't work here or have a car. Okay well i guess ill go see why he is here maybe to talk to me. i walk towards him and when he sees me he doesn't smile or really have any reaction, but when does he. so i wave and he half waves back.
"whats up bob?

"nothing much, finally got myself some wheels actually."

"Killer! what type f car is it?" i said excited

"just a boring old Honda, but it will get me around"

"well thats chill, what does it have wrong with it? i could probably get you a discount and get it done a little faster"

"its just got some engine problems"

"okay well ill take a look at it today, oh hey have you heard anything from Gerard? he was supposed to text me"

"oh he has only been really talking to Mikey, I've only seen him once this week"

"okay well if you see him tell him to text me, I've been worried:"

"okay man, will do i gotta get out of here, i got a job to do today"

"okay bye dude"

when bob left i went to go check out his car, looking under the hood not a lot is wrong with it, should be an easy fix. so i start to get the tools out and see if anything needs so be replaced.

---

at the end of the day i got a large amount of the work on bobs car done. so i wrap everything up for the day and head back to my car. i get in and start it up. i sit there for a few minuets trying to remember if i got everything done. when i finally decide that i got everything done i drive home.

walking in the door i drop everything off on my kitchen table and change out of my greasy clothes throwing them on the ground next to my bed as well as throwing myself on my bed and checking my phone. there is was the texts i was waiting for, Gee text-ed me, finally.

GEE: hey sorry i haven't text-ed like i said i would...

FRANK: its okay i understand we didn't exactly have the best end to your last visit

GEE: no i totally over reacted.

FRANK: yea you did a little...

GEE: hey ill text you later.

FRANK: okay ttyl

well that was short but sweet huh. oh well. i guess its been a long day, and i'm going to take a nap.
