~Frank~
I felt the bandages around my eyes as I shifted, groaning softly. I had a slight headache and felt horribly groggy. I lifted a hand, running my fingers over the bandages.
“Leave them,” Gerard said softly, stroking my arm slowly. “You feel okay?”
I nodded slightly. “Headachy..”
“That's okay. The doctor said that would be normal, yeah? Everything else feel okay?”
I sighed softly and stretched, yawning. “Mhm. I'm thirsty.”
“I'll go get you a water from the vending machine. You've got two hours to kill.”
I smiled humorlessly. “Yay. I already hate it.”
I heard him leave the room quietly and rolled onto my sides, fiddling with the drip leads. One of them wasn't in properly and it was bugging me.
The door clicked again and Gerard sighed. “Don't fiddle with that, baby.”
I frowned and turned my head towards him. “The needle is falling out..”
He kissed my forehead and raised the bed to help me sit up, then took the tape off my elbow. “Crap, you're right.”
He carefully pushed the needle back in and redid the tape. “Is that better?”
I nodded and smiled at him. “I love you, Geebear.”
Gerard chuckled softly and uncapped the water bottle, handing it to me. “I love you too, little one. Are you excited?”
“And nervous.” I took a drink from the bottle, then handed it back to him carefully. “Thanks.”
“You're welcome, love. Do you want the tv on?”
I nodded slightly. “That might be nice. Some background noise. A cuddle would also be welcomed.”
Gerard chuckled and got up, turning the tv on before gently pushing me over and getting into bed next to me. “C’mere then..” I snuggled up to him, resting my head in the crook of his neck comfortably as he wrapped his arms around me tightly. “I'm so glad you're here, Gee.”
He ran his fingers through my hair slowly. “I'm glad I am too. Do you feel like you want another nap?”
I nodded again, kissing his neck softly. “I'm getting sleepy again.”
“Then rest,” Gerard murmured, cradling my head against him carefully.

I could hear people talking.
“He’ll be scared, I think,” Gerard said quietly.
“We’ll introduce everything slowly, so he has time to adjust. As long as you're there, I think he'll be just fine,” Doctor Sitkowski answered in a low tone.
I shifted and Gerard grabbed my hand quickly. “Hey baby.”
“Hi Gee,” I murmured, touching the bandages lightly. “Can I have these off now?”
“Yes, you've had them on for two hours, you should be alright.”
“Are you ready?” Gerard asked softly, stroking my cheek. I nodded quickly and he chuckled, starting to unwind the bandages slowly, his fingers shaking. He was careful as the bandages peeled away from my eyes, and he gently wiped my eyes with a damp cloth. “There ya go..”
The doctor gently moved Gerard out of the way, squeezing my shoulder. “You can open your eyes, Frank.”
I opened my eyes slowly and my heart sank. “It's just black,” I whimpered softly. Gerard snorted. “The lights are off, Frankie.”
The doctor chuckled and I felt the blush rising as Sitkowski leaned over me, starting to turn the lights up just slightly. My eyes widened and I grinned, looking down at my hands. It wasn't very clear at all, but I could see a light blob in front of me. “I can see..” I mumbled, starting to tremble slightly.
I heard running footsteps suddenly and the door slammed. Sitkowski sighed. “I'm sorry, Frank, Gerard just ran out. Would you like me to go get him?”
I sighed, looking down at my lap. “N-no, it's fine. I think he's just nervous.”
The doctor chuckled. “I think I would be too..”
I frowned slightly, looking up at the blob standing next to me. “What do you mean?”
“I mean that you're incredibly handsome, Frank,” he grinned, rubbing my shoulder. “Anyway, let's get on with it. Your sight will take a little while to clear, so I'm just going to turn the light up a little at a time. Can you see color yet?”
“Only really faintly,” I mumbled, blinking a few times as the light got brighter. The doctor held up a card.
“That's red,” I said confidently, then felt a tug on my heartstrings. “Excuse me, but is my engagement ring there?”
The doctor handed me my ring carefully and I slipped it on, rubbing over the four dots nervously.
“Green.”
Things were starting to come into focus more now, I could make out the shape of my hand and my fingers, and I could see the lines of the doctor’s coat and scrubs.
He held up another card. “Yellow.”
“Good, well done..” He turned the light up again and I blinked a few more times. I could see the doctor’s face now, and even make out his smile. He held up another card and I blinked again.
“That says hello.”
“Well done, Frank. Keep blinking, it helps regain that focus. You're doing perfectly.”
I shifted and sniffed slightly. “Where's Gerard..?”
Sitkowski sighed and squeezed my shoulder. “Let's get through all of this and then I'll bring him in, okay?”
I nodded and he turned the light up a little more.
“That's almost daylight now, okay?”
He held up a card with smaller writing. “Take your time.”
I blinked again and again, squinting at it. After a couple minutes, I smiled. “Elephant.”
“Perfect. Try this one.”
Another card with even smaller writing. “Giraffe.”
“Yep. One more.”
I stared at it for a while, then bit my lip. “Lion.”
“Perfect, Frank. One more time turning up the light.”
I stared at the doctor as he flicked a switch. I could see his blue eyes now, his pale skin, and his short black hair. His tie was yellow and purple, his shirt a cream color. I looked down at my hands. I could see the little hairs now and the ring on my finger. I grinned and looked up. Sitkowski was smiling as well. “You're doing so well, Frank. I'm going to go through a regular eye test with you in a week, okay? You may need glasses, but you should adjust fairly well. I'm going to go through a few more cards with you now, okay?”
I nodded and he pulled out another set, this time with pictures. “That's a cat,” I smiled, letting my head lean back on the pillows.
“This one?”
“A dog,” I murmured, staring at the smaller picture.
“This one?”
“Rabbit.”
“And?”
“Horse.”
The doctor grinned and squeezed my shoulder again. “All perfect, Frank. I'll go and fetch your fiancé, okay?”
I nodded and curled up, hugging my knees. I was keeping the emotion down for now, focusing on looking at everything. I knew if I let go, I'd start to cry, and then I wouldn't be able to see anything anyway.
The door opened and Gerard was shoved through, his head bowed as the door closed behind him. His bright red hair hung down, hiding his face from me. His shoulders were hunched and his arms folded across his chest as he stood there, trembling.
“Geebear?”
He jumped, but didn't look up.
“Come here, please? I love you, Gee. I love your hair. It's so pretty.”
He shrugged and I sniffed, struggling with the urge to cry. “Gee..” I begged softly. “Please baby, please. I just want a cuddle.”
He must have heard the thickness of my voice and realized I was about to cry, as he shuffled over to the bed, taking my hand carefully. He lifted his head at last, brushing his hair back from his face. My eyes widened and I gasped quietly.
Gerard's eyes and cheeks were red from crying, but there was a tiny, defiant smile on his lips. His slightly upturned nose suited his round face beautifully, and his eyes were a rich, deep hazel. For me, it was like looking at the face of God.
“Fuck, you're fucking stunning,” I managed after almost a full minute of just staring. “I'm fucking lucky.”
His eyes softened as a smile spread across his face and he laughed, ducking down and scooping me up in his arms. “God, I was so fucking scared..” He mumbled, squeezing me tightly as I hugged back, running my fingers through his hair as tears blurred my vision.
“You're so much more beautiful than I'd imagined,” I said softly, playing with the hairs on the back of his neck. “I fucking love you, Gerard Way.”
“I fucking love you too, Frank Iero.”

Notes

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed the ending, but I could do with a hand because I'm trying to choose which story I'd like to put up after this one.
I have fifteen chapters of one but I'm starting to run out of ideas for it, and lose interest in it already, so I'm toying with a different idea I haven't started yet. So I'll give a short description of each and maybe you could comment and give me an idea of which you'd rather see? It would help me a lot if you wouldn't mind.

~ 1: The 15 chapter one is a two part fic, the first 10 chapters are in high school, the other 5 I have so far are 10 years on, about a kid who lives with very homophobic parents and insists he's straight (Frank) and another very gay kid who lives with abuse and neglect etc (Gerard) and their interaction. It deals a lot more with rape and abuse and trust, as well as some anorexia.

~ 2: The new one would be another high school story about being intersex and non-binary as well as sexuality and love. It might stretch into some eating disorders and rape, with a little bit of abuse, as I do work with those themes a lot, but I'm aiming to try and make it a little more realistic and slow-moving and a bit more deep. I need to do some research and a little more development on this one but I will try and start it tonight and think about getting it going and exploring the idea some more.

So let me know what you think you might be interested in (if either of these) and if you have any suggestions or ideas, please give me those as well! I love to hear feedback and comments from my readers :) I don't bite.
