Hopeless Hearts

Gerard had passed out on Frank's bed not long after everything had happened, and when he woke up in a few hours, he stumbled upstairs to look for the bathroom, his pounding headache making him have to hold his head as he walked. As he approached the door, he tried to unlock it, though found it still locked. He heard a tiny gasp in the bathroom and raised his eyebrows.
"Frank? Are you in there?" he asked, trying the doorknob again.
"U-uh.. h-hold on a second.." Frank choked out, clearly still crying. He tried to rub his red puffy eyes, and sniffled as he wiped his nose. He then got up, and tried to quickly walk past Gerard.
Gerard, however, wasn't letting him get away so quickly, and grabbed him by the wrist as he tried walking away, though Frank cried out in pain. Gerard looked down at his hand and saw it was covered in blood, and his eyes widened as he gasped. "Fr-Frank, you're bleeding!" He yelled as he turned on the hallway light, letting him see the blood covered, cut up wrists of the poor boy. "H-holy shit.." He said, grabbing him by the upper arm and pulling him back to the bathroom.
"P-please don't h-hold me like that..!" Frank shouted, clearly very upset, and Gerard looked at him worriedly, instantly letting go.
"I-I'm so sorry, Frank. I didn't mean t--"
"It's fine." Frank said quietly, cutting off Gerard. He followed Gerard into the bathroom anyway and let Gerard hold his wrists under the sink, washing away all the blood before looking in the closet and grabbing gauze. Gerard wrapped Frank's arms up tightly, before propping himself up on the counter next to the sink.
"Why?" was all Gerard said, before Frank began to break down again.
"G-Gerard.. do you remember what you did?" Frank asked quietly between sobs.
"N-no..? What did I do? I'm so sorry.." He said, letting his usual emotionless demeanor drop, showing genuine worry for Frank.
"W-well.. You sort of.. kissed me. You were on top of me, holding my face to look at you.." He started to cry again as he leaned forward, putting his head in his hands and leaning against the sink counter. "B-but that's not it.. It's.. what it reminded me of.." He said quietly as he tried to regain his composure long enough to explain.
"Last year.." He began, and Gerard finally pieced together what was happening, leaning forward to rub his back as he spoke. "I was raped."
Even when expecting it, Gerard still felt his heart stopped. He looked at the boy crying in front of him, feeling incredibly bad for him. Frank would normally not tell a single soul about this, but at the moment his walls were down, he was an emotional wreck, and he knew he had to get it out.
He took a deep breath and began to tell his story, for the first time since it had happened.
