From past to present and hopefully future

Gerard's POV:

We got back home. Lily is at school and Frank's mom is at work. Frank and I have the house to ourselves so we curl up on the couch and watch some horror movies. I love cuddling Frank. He's so tiny and our frames fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. The man who bullied me in high school is now the love of my life. He's so perfect and beautiful. It's good to see him like this.

"Lily should be home soon." He says quietly. I hum and gently rub his hips; tracing along his tattoos. I'll have to ask him about them someday. They all must have a meaning. I'll just ask about the swallows for now. They are my favourite.

"Frankie. What's the story behind your swallow tattoo?" I say quietly. He pushes his head back a bit and hums. I feel like I'm falling in love with him over and over again.

"The swallows, search and destroy. The swallow closest to search was always meant to be you. The love of my life. The one closest to destroy is me. I destroyed you. I got it after you left. I put the band around the bird's eyes because of that one costume you wore for Halloween. The dark suit with blood red tie. The angst you had in your eyes. The band of black makeup you had across your face. The X's over my bird's eyes is from my Halloween costume of that year too. I'd just turned 18. You going to turn 19. That was the night where it grew out of a crush and into love. That was the night when I knew I'd never see you after you left for college. That was the night I hoped I drank too much, I wanted to die. Here we both are now though. You are the most forgiving person I've ever met. I love you Gee." He says. I grip onto him a bit tighter and kiss the back of his head.

"Baby. I love the tattoo. You remembered my costume. You searched for me again though and I'm here. You aren't destroying me. I'm a lot happier now. Now look at us baby. You didn't die and I'm happy about that." I say. He turns to me and we kiss. I hear the door open and back away from the kiss. He smiles and buries his his head in my chest.

"I'm home!" We hear lily say and she enters the living room. She jumps on us and we giggle. It's like home sweet home. I love being here.
