We were friends until we were lovers

Gerard's POV:

"Frank, sweetie. All is going to be okay. Our parents don't really accept it but the care for us so they put up with it. We want to be there for you Frank. We just need you to let us in." I say. This poor kid. He doesn't think he is beautiful, he hates himself and he thinks he deserves all the shit he gets. I really hope he will let Mikey and I in. I know what he is going through. I used to be just like him. That was not long ago.

"Why do you guys care so much about me? You don't even know me. Is this all a sick prank? I just got injured and beaten, two kids who I don't even fucking know just show up out of nowhere and just 'save me'. Are you fucking serious? I don't care if we dress the same. I have never had friends and you just expect me to open up to you? For all I know you could be just like them." He says. He sounds angry. He is hurt, he needs someone to help him.

"Frank, please listen. We care about you because we see ourselves in you. Not just the way we dress but the pain and anger and misery. We can see it as clear as day. We both went through it and still are. This isn't a prank and it kinda hurts that you believe it is because we both care about you Frank. We are in the same classes as you Frank that's why we saw you. You were so nice to us and we saw thet you were going through exactly what we go through. You don't have to open up to us right away Frank but just know that we are here if you need a shoulder to cry on or a hug or anything. Even if we were one of them we would still help you Frank. We look at you and see a friend not someone who is helpless and a fuck up like how you see yourself. Don't tell me I'm wrong either Frank. I know that look that you give yourself because I give myself the same damn look. I want us to be friends." I say so that he can hear it crisply. I want him to know he's not alone.

"I-I-I... don't know what to say." He says quietly. I place my hand on his knee and give him a soft smile. He looks back up to me with a shy smile and tears in his eyes.

"Let's get to know each other Frank. Looks like Mikey fell asleep while we were talking. I want to know about Frank. Tell me who is he?" I say smiling.

"Um, I am Frank Iero. I play guitar. I'm gay. I like rock and metal music. I have tattoos and I'm vegetarian, well vegan but it's complicated." He says brightening up a bit. "You?" He asks.

"Well, I'm Gerard fucking Way. I sing. I'm super fucking gay. I like rock and metal. I am the sassiest motherfucker you will ever meet. And... I have a fear of needles." I say back with a sassy flick of the hair. I start to laugh at how ridiculous I am. Frank starts to laugh too.

"I think I could come to have a love hate relationship with you Gerard. Because I'm the sassiest motherfucker you will ever meet." He says and continues laughing.

"Sorry Frankie baby, but I already met myself. You could come in a good second place though." I say through my laughing fit. Not only is he beautiful but he is hilarious and amazing as well.

"Fuck off bitch! I will get you the fuck back for that!" He jokes through his laughter.

"I'm the bitch? I think you make a better bitch than me." I continue the joke as we are basically on the floor dying of laughter. We both hear Mikey start to stir and we go dead silent. I motion him to follow me. "Do you wanna prank Mikey? I know how to get him good." I say with a devious smirk.

He returns the smirk. "Fuck yes! What's the plan Way?" He asks.

"I have some costumes in my room. They are enough to scare the ever living shit out of him. As long as we wear the makeup and sneak up behind him with the fake weapons he will scream like a bitch." I whisper to him and lead him to my room. We slip into costume and throw on make up and grab some little toy weapons. "Ready to go?" I ask.

"Always." He says as we slip out of my room and downstairs where Mikey has his back facing us and he is awake. I know because he is calling for Frank and I. Frank and I walk behind him and I cover his mouth as Frank walks infront of him smiling like the joker. It's terrifying but sexy at the same time. "Hey there kid. Was that your brother and his friend that we got? Two little fuckers were easy. You are just one more little task." He says in a different voice.

"You look scared. You know what we're going to do?" I ask and he shakes his head. He is shakeing. I give Frank the signal and we both poke our toys into Mikey as I drop my hand from his mouth. He does as promised and screams like a little bitch. Frank and I double over in laughter again as Mikey screams at us.

"You fuckers! You and Frank were having a serious talk when I fell asleep and then you two decided to prank me? What the FUCK?" He yells and Frank and I continue our laughter. I calm down a bit and manage to say.

"Mikey, we found another sassy bitch! It's a family of motherfucking pranking, sassy bitches! We just wanted to fuck with you!" I say as I start to laugh again. Frank is actually rolling on the ground in tears from all the laughter. Mikey starts to giggle too.

"You guys are the best." I hear Frank whisper. I could tell that we weren't supposed to hear it but I still smile.
