Gerard's POV:

It's already the next day and I still dread school. Should I go? Yeah. I mean all I have left to lose is my life. Frank would probably go back to hating me and all that shit.

I get to my first period class to find a note at my spot. This time it isn't an abusive not but one that is nicely written and looks happy.

Once first period starts please meet me in the mens washroom outside of the class room. I would like to talk to you please?

That's all the note says but there are smiley faces drawn all over it. I grab the note and put it in my pocket. The first period bell finally rings and I ask to go to the washroom. Frank's nowhere to be found and that makes me calmer. The teacher lets me go and I leave the classroom. I'm standing outside of the bathroom door shaking. What if the note was a joke? What if Frank and his gang are in there to beat me up? I find myself walking in anyways. One stall is locked so I walk to the very end of the stalls to wait for the person I am meeting. Once I stop the stall opens. Frank walks out. Shit. I throw my hood up and look at my feet hoping he won't notice me.

"H-hey Gerard." He says to me quietly. Why is he so nervous?

"P-p-please don't hurt me." Is all I manage to whimper out.

"Gerard I wouldn't even think of hurting you. I have always wanted to be your friend. It took some convincing from an online friend to get my ass up to talk to you. My friend that I made online is the only true friend I have and I'm apparently his only friend. I feel so bad for him. His schools gang is beating him and he is going through so much. I just want to be there for him. I saw you and the pain in your eyes reminded me of what he is going through. I want to help Gerard." He says with tears starting to stream down his face. The school bully has confessed this all to me, he hated me yet he wants to help. Yet I hear the words he says and they sound all to familiar. Wait can it be?

"Guitar Man?" I manage to say.

"Wait how do you know my online name unless... Shy?" He asks quietly. I nod in response. "Oh my god. Wait when you were talking about the gang leader was that me?" He says sadly. I just nod. He runs up to me and I feel his small arms wrap around me and hear him sob. " I'm so sorry Gerard. I didn't know my gang beat you. They are all assholes. I want to help you. Will you let me? I'm so sorry that I was an asshole. You didn't deserve it. I don't care if you don't forgive me I don't deserve to be forgiven." He is practically crying now still huddled in a hug with me. I rub his back.

"Frank. It's okay. I forgive you. When we met online that was the best night of my life I would have been dead if we hadn't met. I didn't know it was you though. I believe you Frank. You were so nice to me online, I never lied to you online and I could tell that you never lied to me. I don't understand why you hand around a bunch of homophobes though. It's not good for your rainbow." I give a small giggle and I hear Frank laugh. We separate from the hug and I feel a bit empty now. Did the hug really mean that much to me? Frank looked a lot different when he's happy. He looks beautiful. Am I gaining feelings for him? I think so. Just the way he smiles, his beautiful hazel eyes, his amazing tattoos, I mean he just looks perfect. Bully Frank look mean and evil but this man standing before me looks beautiful, fragile and soft. I think I just got a crush on Frank Iero.

Frank's POV:

I step away from the hug and instantly regret it. Gerard was beautiful and I wanted to be with him. He just stands there against the wall, smiling. This is the first time I've seen him smile in years. He is so beautiful. He is so much taller than me. He can probably knock me out in one hit but he never has. I may be the 'biggest bully in school' but I can't even hurt a fly. He is always dressed in black and his raven black hair always in his beautiful face. He wears the perfect amount of makeup that beautifully compliments his lily white skin. I haven't been able to get this man out of my head for all the years I've known him.

"Hey wanna skip today? I have a secret spot that nobody knows about. We can hang there if you'd like?" I ask him. I have never been so happy Finding out that Gerard was my online friend made me so happy because he said I was a nice guy online and now he can finally see it in person.

"Sure. I mean we probably shouldn't because we both skipped yesterday but might as well. I kinda like not being beaten up." Gerard giggled. Oh my god he had the cutest giggle. I've never heard him laugh or giggle before but it sounded so beautiful. I started to feel myself blush so my head shoots down to look at my feet. "What's wrong Frank" he asks me suddenly concerned because I'm looking at my feet.

"Nothing! I'm just happy that you know you don't fucking hate me." I laugh and look back up at him. "Hey let's go!" I say grabbing his wrist and leading him out of the bathroom and out the school doors.
