Longing

Gerard’s POV

After spending a week in hospital Frank was finally allowed to come back home.
“So when we going to tell him what we are then?” Mikey asked as he stood next to me in the kitchen.
“Soon, I just need him to settle in and know that he can trust us and that we won’t hurt him.” I said and Mikey chuckled.
“Good because I’m getting fed up with hiding my fangs.” Mikey said and I chuckled.
“Has everyone fed lately?” I asked and Mikey nodded.
“Yep, Elliot and Ryan fed last night and everyone else can last for about 4 days without a feed. But I’m worried about Elliot and Ryan. They’ve been here for 4 months surely they should be able to last longer than 2 days without feeding.” Mikey said and I looked at him.
“You don’t know what they have been through before they found us. They have their reasons and hopefully they will learn that we will not do what the last lot of vampires they stayed with did to them and they will settle down to our routine but until then we need to keep a very close eye on them if Frank is around them.” I said quietly and Mikey nodded.

“How’s Ray. Haven’t seen the grumpy bastard for a while.” I said and Mikey hit my arm playfully.
“Don’t be so mean, Ray is fine. Just keeping him busy that all.” Mikey said with a smirk and I shook my head.
“You filthy little slut.” I said as I turned round and lent against the side nursing my coffee waiting to hear Frank waiting up in my room.
“Ah come on Gee, don’t tell me you don’t miss having a good fuck where you can’t walk the next morning.” Mikey said and I looked at him.
“I am not talking about my sex life with you. Christ all I fucking heard last night was you two at it until 5 in the morning.” I said.
“You and Jack was worse than me and Ray.” Mikey said.
“Now That was Someone I loved being bottom for.” I said and I had a mouthful of my coffee as Mikey chuckled.
“It’s a bit early talking about each other’s sex life.” Ryan said as he walked into the kitchen.
“It’s never too early.” Mikey said and me and Ryan just looked at him.
“There’s a time and a place and this isn’t the time or the place.” Ryan said and I heard Frank move around upstairs in my bed.
“About Time Too the kid is awake.” Ryan said as he looked at me.
“The kid just got out of hospital.” I said and got Frank a coffee and went upstairs.

When I got up stairs Frank was walking back from the bathroom I had in my room.
“You got like bat hearing or something?” Frank yawned as he stretched.
“You could say something like that.” I said and Frank climbed back into bed.
“How you feeling this morning?” I asked as Frank pulled the covers over his head.
“I feel like shit, just leave me alone please. I don’t want to hurt you.” Frank said quietly and I walked over and climbed onto the bed and cuddled Frank’s back.
“I don’t care you can hurt me. I’ve had someone hurt me before but I still cared for him.” I said quietly and Frank moved back towards my chest.
“But someone as kind as you shouldn’t be getting hurt.” Frank said quietly.
“Well I have and it’s something I had to get used to.” I said and I heard Frank sniff which made me roll him over and made him look at me.
“What’s the matter?” I asked.
“It’s nothing.” Frank said quietly.
“You sure, can always talk to me about anything.” I said and Frank sighed loudly and he looked at me.
“Who’s Jack?” Frank asked quietly.
“Jack was my boyfriend who killed himself.” I said sadly as I moved from Frank and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Why did he do that?” Frank asked.
“I don’t know.” I whispered and stood up.
“Gee I’m sorry.” Frank said and I turned round and looked at him and smiled softly.
“It’s fine, it’s just a touchy subject. I’ll get Patrick to come and check on you in half an hour.” I said and Frank sat up and looked at me.
“Don’t leave me, please, you said you wouldn’t leave.” Frank said as he got out of bed but he fell on the floor where he started to cry.
I sighed and walked back over and knelt on the floor and made Frank look at me.
“I’m not leaving, I just have to pop out and do something and then I’ll be back.” I said quietly and sat on the floor where Frank moved and climbed onto my lap where I wrapped my arms round him.
“Frank I promise I won’t leave you. I know people have promised you that in the past but I’m not like everyone. I want to help you get better and show you what life is like without drugs.” I said softly and Frank sniffed loudly and hid his face in my chest.
“It’s going to be okay. I promise you I’ll look after you and I will never leave you like everyone else has in your life.” I said quietly.
“Please don’t leave.” Frank whispered.
“I’m going no where.” I said quietly and I ran my fingers through his hair.

“You need your hair cutting.” I said and Frank moved his head more into my hand.
“It kept my ears warm to a degree.” Frank said quietly and I moved my hand from Frank’s hair which made him look at me.
“Well you don’t have that worry anymore. The house is always too hot in the winter since Elliot can’t cope in the cold and feels the cold badly.” I said and Frank smiled slightly.
“If the cold bothers you that much I’ll buy you a hat and you have Permission to steal my blanket as well.” I said which made Frank chuckle.
“Don’t want my hair cut just yet, it’s still cold outside for it to be cut.” Frank said quietly.
“I also like it when you run your fingers through my hair as well.” Frank said shyly and he looked down which made me chuckle.
“So you notice me messing with your hair when you sleep?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’m a really light sleep so I notice you messing with my hair and that you snore ever so lightly.” Frank said and I looked at him.
“I do not.” I said and Frank looked at me and smiled.
“Yeah you do.” Frank said and he rested his head on my shoulder.
“Although Jack did say I snored. I dunno I always used to say it was his fault for not falling asleep before me.” I said and Frank chuckled.
Frank sighed and he moved and got up and he climbed onto the bed.
“You okay?” I asked and Frank nodded.
“Yeah, I’m going to take a nap.” Frank said quietly and I got up and pulled the covers over Frank a bit more.
“See you in a little while.” I said quietly and I walked out the room.

I was sat down with everyone else and we was watching something on Netflix when Frank walked in the room.
“Hey Frank. Come and join us.” Ryan said which shocked me but I knew Ryan and Elliot would behave.
“There’s no where for me to sit.” Frank said.
“Sit on Gee, he won’t mind.” Mikey said and I looked at him.
“We’re watching this new Netflix series and you are welcomed to join us.” Patrick said and Frank looked at Patrick.
“Come here Frank.” I said and Frank looked at me and he gingerly walked over and I caught hold of his hand and gently pulled him onto my lap where Frank quickly got himself comfy and rested his head on my shoulder.
Everyone was looking at us.
“Are you actually going to watch this or you just going state at us all evening.” I said and everyone looked away and watched the film and I looked over to Patrick who smiled at me which I returned and we all settled down to watch this Netflix series.

It was late and pretty much everyone part from me and Patrick had fallen asleep.
“He’s growing on you.” Patrick said and I rolled my eyes.
“Even if he was, I’m still not over Jack.” I said as I looked at Frank who was sound asleep with his head on my lap.
“We’re not expecting you to get over him, but he’s a good kid. Yeah he’s not Jack but nobody is going to be Jack. But he’ll be good for you.” Patrick said and I just sighed.
“He wouldn’t want to be with someone like me.” I said.
“You fucking joking? Gee if he doesn’t like you then he has to be fucking stupid because you are literally the ideal boyfriend to someone. Christ if I was gay and wasn’t with Eden I would totally have you.” Patrick said and I chuckled.
“Literally just give him a chance, he could surprise you.” Patrick said.
“He could do. Hey You okay to put blankets over the other two if I take Frank up with me as he isn’t sure on being on his own. I’m sure you’ll take Eden to bed.” I said and Patrick smiled and nodded.
“Yeah I can do that.” Patrick said and I smiled a Thanks and quietly moved from u dear Frank which made him sigh loudly as I picked him up.
“How’s his weight getting on you was saying the other day he needed to put weight on.” Patrick said as he put a blanket over Mikey and Ray which made Ray open his eyes but he sighed loudly and wrapped his arm round Mikey in a protective way as he rolled over so Mikey was between Ray and the sofa which made me smile.
“He’s still light but he is trying to get drug free and it seems to be working but I don’t know maybe he getting it somewhere else who am I to know.” I said and looked at Frank.
“Go, I have this lot sorted.” Patrick said and I nodded and went upstairs and walked to my room and kicked the door behind me hoping it shut quietly which it did and I walked over to the bed and place Frank on it and pulled the covers over him and I turned round and pulled my top off as I headed towards the bathroom.

“Your so pale.” I heard Frank say sleepily and I turned round and saw Frank struggling to keep his eyes open.
“I don’t get called a ghost for no reason.” I said as I lent against the door frame.
“But you’re a good looking ghost though.” Frank mumbled and I chuckled.
“Night Frank, I’ll be in bed after I had a shower.” I said and turned round and turned the shower on and stripped myself from the rest of my clothes and stepped in the hot shower and just let myself enjoy my shower.
After I had my shower I dried myself off and walked into the bedroom with the towel round my waist since Frank was asleep.
I pulled on a oversized jumper and some pants and I looked at Frank who was fast asleep and I quietly climbed into bed which made Frank sighed loudly as he rolled over and I felt him cuddle into my back.
I sighed and let myself relax and I fell asleep.
