Gerard sat awkwardly at the table with a full bowl of pasta smiling gently back up at him, doing his best to eat with one arm though he found it difficult and he just ended up chasing the pasta around the dish until he eventually caught it. Him and Mikey had been shown their room which was full of colour with perfect spaces for them to place their guitars in and the bunk beds stood proud and colourful as they rested against one side of the room.

Gerard glanced around the long wooden table. There was Alice, who smiled at him, and Dean and the two tiny ginger twins named Alec and Jack and then there was the older group of girls that Gerard still didn't know the names of who pushed their bowls of pasta away saying that it wasn't part of their healthy diet. And then next to them was the angel of a person. They glanced around awkwardly with their face shielded by their hair and they ate quickly as if they felt out of place. No body talked to the young boy that Gerard had awkwardly shied away from earlier, nobody spoke to the innocent boy with the soft dark hair and the emerald green eyes and Gerards mind wandered as he wondered why this might be.

After finishing his meal Gerard stood up and headed over towards the kitchen to wash his empty dish up, not noticing the figure who walked in the opposite direction.
"Oh, I-I'm so s-sorry..." The voice spoke as Gerard accidently knocked into the other person, sending the bowls dancing on the floor as it created a rattling sound that did by no means bring any joy about.
"No. No." Repeated Gerard as he picked the bowl up and practically throwing it into the bubbles reaching out of the washing up bowl. "It's my fault..."
"Still..." The other person continued, in a soft and shaking voice, "I'm sorry."
"Honestly its fine!" Gerard smiled, he let his eyes leave the floor and he glanced up at the figure that stood in front of him, and how happy he was that he did. The black skinny jeans enveloped perfectly designed legs which led to the darkness that crept up around the young boys t-shirt. His arms were small and fragile but still they looked as if they could hold the weight of the entire world on them. This led to a pale face, that smiled awkwardly as they messed with their glinting lip ring. Their eyes were pure and sad and the dark hair still swept in front of his eyes.

"Um..." Gerard mumbled, taking aback by the beauty of the person, "um...hi..."
"Um hey..." The voice replied, nervous and gentle.
"Sorry..." Gerard muttered, managing to peel his eyes reluctantly away from the other human's crystal green eyes, after all they'd only just met and Gerard didn't want to freak him out.
"Sorry I forgot....I'm Gerard and that's my brother Mikey...." He pointed to Mikey who still sat at the table talking with a small group of boys about a similar age to him.
The boy with the crystal green eyes and the soft dark hair raised a hand up and waved to Mikey before turning back around to face Gerard, "Hi Gerard. I'm Frank..."
"Hey, I like that name, in fact....I love that name!"
"Really Gee?"
"Yes...wait..." Gerard paused and smiled, "are you already creating pet names for me Frankie?"
"Seems so...seems so..." He smiled.

Notes

Hi. Sorry about updating late and that this chapter's a bit (quite a lot) crappy, but I have basically been playing guitar a lot for the past two nights and I finally (finally finally....thank god) can now play the whole of Disenchanted and it makes me happeeeee.
Sorry for rambling, I hope this chapter was okay like I'm not sure if its cheesy 'fluff' and that. Please be honest and tell me if its not good, then I might be able to improve writing romance. But, thanks for reading and I hope that you are doing well. (Sorry for long paragraph) :) x
