Frank’s POV

I woke up and found Gerard asleep facing me and his arm over my waist since we was pretty close to each other.
“Stop thinking so loud, your thoughts are literally killing me right now.” Gerard mumbled and I frowned but let it slide as Gerard rolled away from me and I moved and cuddled into his back since Gerard was warm and I was feeling really cold.
“How are you so cold? It’s really hot under the covers.” Gerard mumbled.
“I don’t know, I just find it hard to stay warm.” I said and Gerard sighed.
“Did I wake you up?” I asked quietly and Gerard nodded.
“I’m sorry, I’ll got and have a shower and let you sleep a bit more.” I said and moved away from Gerard.
“Don’t be doing nothing stupid and you can wear my clothes since you don’t have any.” Gerard said sleepily and I smiled.
“I’ll try not too, and thanks for letting me wear your clothes.” I said and I didn’t get a response so I went in the bathroom and had a really hot shower.

When I walked back into the room Gerard was on my side of the bed which was originally Gerard’s side so I pulled a pair of pants on and a t shirt on and sat on the edge of the bed which made Gerard open one of his eyes.
“You’re on my side of the bed.” I said and Gerard sighed as he rubbed his eyes and looked at his phone for the time and he looked at me.
“It was my side first before you stole it from me.” Gerard said as he woke up.
“You snooze you loose.” I said and Gerard just stuck his middle finger up at me.
“Way too early for this shit.” Gerard muttered as he rolled over and I climbed over him and climbed back into bed and face Gerard who was slowly falling back asleep again.
“Gee.” I said quietly and Gerard hummed in response.
“You seriously going back to sleep.” I said and Gerard sighed.
“Yep, now shut up and go back to sleep.” Gerard said.
“But I’m not tired though.” I whined and Gerard opened one eye and looked at me.
“But I am, watch something on tv until I wake up.” Gerard said and I felt for the remote which was between me and Gerard and he slammed it down between us which made me chuckle.
“So grumpy in the mornings.” I said.
“Fuck You.” Gerard mumbled.
“Well all you got to do is ask and I’ll give it to you.” I said and Gerard opened one eye and looked at me.
“And this is where the conversation ends, now shut up and let me sleep.” Gerard huffed and this time I let him go back to sleep.
I found this show to watch but I don’t know how much of it I actually watched as I fell asleep as well at some point.

“Gee, wake up you lazy bastard it’s Christmas!” I heard someone say happily and them running over and jumping on the bed.
“Fuck off.” I mumbled and I heard Gerard chuckle.
“But it’s Christmas Frankie got presents to open and food to eat and get fat.” The person said which I worked out was Mikey.
“It’s just another day.” I said and pulled the covers over my head which made Mikey fall on the bed.
“No it’s not, you get to spend time with family and friends...” Mikey started before Gerard butted in.
“Mikes Enough. Go and tell the others we’ll be down soon.” Gerard said.
“But Gee we’ve been up for ages waiting for you two.” Mikey whined and Gerard move in bed.
“Mikey that is enough, we will be down soon. Now leave.” Gerard sounding very serious and I removed the covers from my head.
“Gee it’s fine, go and be with everyone. It’s not as if I’m not used to it.” I said and Gerard looked at me.
“No you’ll join us because you are family.” Gerard said and I looked at him confused.
“You barley know me.” I whispered.
“He knows a lot more than what you think.” Mikey said and I looked at him and back at Gerard who was glaring at Mikey.
“Mikey. Leave now.” Gerard pretty much growled and the door opened wide and Mikey rolled his eyes.
“Such a dramatic Gee.” Mikey said as he got off the bed and walked out the room.
“How did you open the door without even moving from the bed?” I asked and looked at Gerard who was getting out of bed and I saw scars down his back and a really big scar down where his spine was.
“Telekinesis.” Gerard simply said as he pulled a oversized jumper on.
“Tele What? Is there something I should know?” I asked.
“I can do things with my mind, well yeah there is something you should know but I’m not going to say as I’m in a serious grump and now will probably be not the best time to tell you.” Gerard said as he pulled some jeans on.
“Do I have to be worried?” I asked and Gerard looked at me and his mood shifted.
“No, no you don’t have to be worried.” Gerard said as he walked over holding his jeans up since they was undone still and he sat on the bed.
“What we are, the people under this roof will never hurt you. They will have to get through me first.” Gerard said and I looked down.

“Please tell me what you are.” I whispered and Gerard sighed.
“We’re vampires.” Gerard said and I looked at him.
“Show me, you have fangs don’t you?” I said and Gerard sighed and he opened his mouth and I could see the fangs which he had kept hidden from me.
“Is it the reason why you’re so pale?” I asked and Gerard chuckled as he shook his head and he looked at me.
“Have you seen how tanned Elliot is? No I was turned and I was actually this pale when I was human.” Gerard said and I frowned at him.
“We’re all vampires.” Gerard said.
“How come you haven’t killed me yet then?” I asked.
“Because we’re hoping you can get Gee to get over Jack and also You was meant to be food but you was too fucked to be eaten so your drug habit saved you.” A voice said and me and Gerard looked and saw Patrick.
“How to put It bluntly also Jack can’t be replaced.” Gerard said and looked at Patrick.
“You say that now but the kid will work his human charm on you, just like Jack.” Patrick said.
“We’ll See.” Gerard said and he stood up and looked at me.
“You coming?” Gerard asked.
“Nothing will happen to me?” I asked and Patrick chuckled.
“God no, we all have to fight of Gee and none of us are brave enough for that. Also he’s the leader of the house as well. We fuck up and we’re gone.” Patrick said and I looked at Gerard who had his back to me and was doing something.
“If you want food then you better come down as Elliot and Ryan are literally eating like there is no tomorrow.” Patrick said and he walked out the room.
“So your the chief. Do I have to know any rules?” I asked as I got out of bed and walked over to Gerard who was lost inside his head and I touched his hand which made him look at me.
“No drugs. You bring trouble through that front door and you’ll leave out the front door. Other than that there’s no rules.” Gerard said and I nodded.
“You should put a top on.” Gerard said quietly as he walked round me.
“Why? Is it so you won’t stare at me and be completely lost looking at my tattoos? If that’s the case you can knock yourself out because that’s why their there.” I said and Gerard looked at me.
“No, what I see through my eyes is your heart pounding against your chest, I can hear your heart beating throughout the house. It’s to stop the others from wanting to kill you. Because it’s been a while since I’ve been around humans and you are very hard to ignore.” Gerard said with a serious tone in his voice and I felt someone behind me.
“If your hard for me to ignore then you must be murder for the others.” Gerard whispered in my ear which made me jump.
“Then why won’t they do nothing?” I asked and turned round to face Gerard.
“Because if they hurt you then they are dead. You are a guest until I say you are family and it’s a bit rude to eat your guest. Anyway, you’re safe with me.” Gerard said and I frowned at him and Gerard closed the gap between us and he kissed the top of my head.
“Let’s go, you must be hungry.” Gerard said and he walked off and I looked round and found a top on the floor and I picked it up and put it on and quickly caught up with Gerard and we went down stairs.

I walked into the kitchen and everyone was messing around in the kitchen.
“We’re not trusting Gee, he can’t fucking cook.” Ryan said.
“Hey, I can cook.” Gerard said.
“The last time you Cooke bro, you almost brunt the house down. So your not cooking.” Mikey said and lent against Ray.
“Can you cook Frank?” Ray asked.
“Nope.” I said and Mikey groaned loudly.
“Pat, please say your Mrs can cook.” Elliot said and I looked at Gerard through all of this arguing and he was stood by the back door and he signaled for me to go over so I did and we went outside leaving everyone to argue about who was cooking the food.

“So you eat food. Thought vampires only drank blood.” I said as I sat on the step next to Gerard who was smoking which shocked me until he handed me one.
“We got the balance of blending in with humans and being vampires. We eat food so that when we go out we can actually blend in and be like normal humans. Behind close doors we drink blood and rarely eat. Boom best of both worlds.” Gerard said and I chuckled.
“You said I was meant to be food, you drink human blood?” I asked.
“Yeah, But I’m getting everyone to drink animal blood and human blood once a week. We’re getting used to you being round the house.” Gerard said.
“If I didn’t have drugs in my system and being fucked out my face would you of eaten me?” I asked and Gerard chuckled.
“A cutie like you don’t walk into my life that often so why would I eat him.” Gerard said and I looked down.
“Can you tell me about Jack?” I asked and Gerard sighed loudly.
“Jack was human like you, he was fucking mental but I loved him so I turned him into a vampire. Jack couldn’t cope anymore and he killed himself.” Gerard said quietly.
“Gee I’m so sorry.” I said and Gerard looked at me and smiled.
“Minus the tattoos and the lip ring and if you was taller and wore glasses you’d look a lot like Jack.” Gerard said and I chuckled.
“Actually Tell a lie, Jack had a tattoo behind his ear and that was it.” Gerard said.
“And his hair was less messy.” Gerard said and he went to reach out to touch my hair but he stopped himself.
“Don’t hate the hair.” I chuckled which made Gerard smile.
“You have a scar down your spine, how did that happen?” I asked.
“A fight many years ago.” Gerard said and he stood up.
“Sorry, I don’t mean to be nosey.” I said and looked down and I felt Gerard mess with my hair which made me look up to him.
“It’s fine. I have questions but I know the answers.” Gerard said and I frowned.
“I’ll tell you later. Got to go inside otherwise they are all going to kill each other.” Gerard said and he stood up and I followed his lead and went inside.

“For fuck sake, it’s like cooking a normal roast dinner. How fucking hard can it be.” Eden said seriously.
“We don’t cook normally.” Ray said and Eden just glared at him and showed him her fangs and quickly put her hand over her mouth.
“Shit does he know?” Eden asked quickly and Gerard chuckled.
“He knows, don’t worry.” Gerard said.
“Thank fuck for that.” Mikey said as he rolled his eyes.
“Anyway, your lucky that at least one of you guys is straight and has me because you guys would be fucking useless.” Eden said and I smiled a little.
“Thank god for women.” Ray said and I chuckled and felt someone stand next to me and I looked and saw it was Gerard.
“How does she cope with all of you?” I asked and Gerard chuckled.
“Shouldn’t you be asking me that question?” Gerard asked and I looked at him.
“You cope just fine.” I said and Gerard smiled.
“You got tattoos.” Ryan said and I looked at Ryan.
“Yeah, doesn’t the ink show enough of a hint?” I said and Ryan glared at me but I saw his eyes glance over to Gerard and he soon stopped glaring at me.
“Think you have everyone in their place boss.” I said quietly as I patted his back and walked off.

I was sat in the sitting room when someone sat next to me and I moved my eyes from the Christmas tree and looked at the person who happened to be Mikey.
“You know, if you like my brother then you might as well go out with him.” Mikey said.
“It’s not that easy.” I said quietly.
“Sure it is, you just ask him out and then have some good sex.” Mikey said and I shook my head.
“It might be that easy for your kind but for humans it isn’t that easy.” I said.
“It ain’t easy for us either you know. When we find someone it’s normally the person we stay with for the rest of our lives. But sometimes things happen and we lose our mate. I can’t even begin to think about how Gee felt when he lost Jack.” Mikey said as he looked down.
“We nearly lost Gee, he’s slowly coming back to the Gee we all know. It’s because of you. You’re bringing him back to us. It’s probably why you are welcomed into the family so well. But it’s also because Ryan is addicted to your tattoos but he doesn’t trust himself to come near you. Also you’re bit of eye candy for us gays as well.” Mikey said and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Which is all of you but Patrick and Eden.” I said and Mikey chuckled.
“Well yeah but nobody is allowed to close to you without grumpy over there being close by.” Mikey said and I looked and saw Gerard looking at the present under the tree.
“He’s a Keeper once you work him out.” Mikey whispered and he got up and walked over to Gerard and jumped on his back which made Gerard fall flat on his face in the presents, which made me laugh.
“Hey You’ve got to wait for everyone!” Patrick said and Mikey got of Gerard and ran over to Ray and hid behind him.
“He jumped on me.” Gerard whined and pointed to Mikey who was hiding behind Ray.
“Did not.” Mikey said.
“Did too.” Gerard argued back.
“Didn’t.” Mikey said clearly enjoying this.
“Did. Frank help me here.” Gerard said and Patrick looked at me.
“To be honest Mikes did jump on him.” I said and Mikey moved from behind Ray and looked at me with a fake hurt on his face.
“Frank! You’re meant to be on my side!” Mikey whined.
“The pros of fucking the boss.” Ray said.
“We’re not fucking.” I said.
“We would of heard them if they were.” Elliot said.
“Hey I’m not that loud.” Gerard said as he walked over and sat next to me.
“Yes you are. We could hear very fucking word you said.” Eden said.
“More like moaned.” Mikey said and I Bit the inside of my lip to stop myself from laughing.
“Okay, we are not talking about my sex life. Anyway you lot can’t exactly talk.” Gerard said by which point everyone had sat down.
“What about you Frank? You a screamer or you a quiet one?” Ray asked.
“Now that would be telling.” I said.
“Come on kiss and tell.” Ray said.
“Well let’s just say that people always came back.” I said as I stood up and went to the kitchen to get myself a drink.

“Where is the alcohol in this place.” I muttered to myself as I looked for alcohol.
“Shouldn’t be drinking at your age.” Someone said and I looked and saw Gerard leaning against the door frame.
“You know, you could just tell me where the alcohol is instead of the lecture which you’re itching to give me.” I said as I turned round and lent against the side.
“I’m not itching to give you a lecture.” Gerard said.
“Okay, So Where’s the alcohol. Also I’m a 17 year old recovering drug addict so you can save that lecture as well.” I said and Gerard rolled his eyes.
“It’s too early to start drinking.” Gerard said as he walked into the kitchen.
“It’s never too early. The only time it’ll be too early is when your dead and six feet under.” I said and Gerard chuckled.
“That is very true, but when I was growing up drinking wasn’t allowed until the meal was being eating.” Gerard said and I looked at him.
“How fucking old are you?” I asked bluntly and Gerard laughed.
“I’m old enough thanks, although being stuck in a 22 year body is fucking amazing.” Gerard said and I frowned at him.
“If you want to know Mikey is stuck in a 18 year old body and mind, the poor skinny bastard.” Gerard said and I laughed.
“You have any other family?” I asked and Gerard shook his head.
“Nope, our mother and father was killed when me and Mikes where young.” Gerard said and he looked down.
“I’m sorry.” I said quietly.
“It’s fine. Mikey was too young to remember them and I have very little memories of them so I have nothing to be sad about.” Gerard said and he went to a cupboard and found the alcohol.
“Now we’re talking.” I said and looked in the cupboard and found what I wanted and started to drink it.
“Gerard Arthur Way you better not be drinking!” Mikey said loudly which made me look at Gerard.
“Okay your middle name is Arthur?” I asked and Gerard looked at me.
I couldn’t help it but I started to laugh.
“Don’t laugh at me Frank Anthony Iero Junior.” Gerard said and I stopped laughing and looked at him stunned.
“I never told you that.” I said seriously and Gerard smirked at me.
“Tell me how you know.” I said and drank some of the alcohol I had.
Gerard shook his head.
“Not saying.” Gerard said and I had more of a mouthful of drink.
“Tell me.” I whined as I got hold of his arm and shook it.
“Tell me Gee, please.” I begged.
“My lips are sealed.” Gerard chuckled and I let go of his arm and huffed loudly.
“Well that’s a huge fuck you then.” I said and Gerard laughed.
“No need to get assy with me young man.” Gerard said and poked me and I just glared at him and stuck my tongue out.
“Mature.” Gerard said.
“Hope you choke on your food.” I said.
“That’s not nice.” Gerard said as he chuckled.
I stuck my middle finger up at him.
“Why you two out here acting like children?” Patrick asked as he walked out the kitchen.
“Because Frank started it.” Gerard said and I slapped his chest and glared at him which made Gerard chuckle and he walked out the kitchen.
Patrick looked at me as I had some more of this alcohol which was really good.
“You made Gee laugh, Gee never laughs anymore.” Patrick said.
“Guess the shit what I say is funnier than what you say.” I said as I walked off but Patrick stood in the door way.
“I would watch your mouth. I might not be able to lay a hand on you but I can make your life hell.” Patrick said seriously.
“You can’t touch me because if you touch me Gerard will rip your head off. It’s also the same if you make my life hell. So good luck with that.” I said and looked at him.
“Would you kindly move.” I said and Patrick moved.
“Your a doll.” I said as I walked to the sitting room and sat next to Gerard.

Me and Gerard had gone up to our room and was having a early night.
“You don’t fuck with Patrick, he was serious when he said he would make your life hell.” Gerard said from the bathroom since he was having a shower and I was stood outside the door.
“I can look after myself.” I said as I crossed my arms.
“Not saying you can’t, but vampires are a lot different to humans.” Gerard said.
“I’m not scared of your type.” I said as I took my top off because I was hot.
“Your dumber than what you look.” Gerard said and I frowned and just walked into the bathroom not caring if Gerard was naked.
“I’m not dumb thanks.” I challenged.
“You always this argumentative when you have been drinking?” Gerard asked as he looked over his shoulder.
“I might be.” I said and Gerard rolled his eyes at me.
“You know, your ass looks great right now.” I said and Gerard chuckled.
“I’m sure it does.” Gerard said.
“Bet your cock looks better.” I said feeling brave.
“And you won’t be seeing that. Now fuck off and find a film.” Gerard said.
“But Gee, it’s been ages and I’m literally dying for sex right now.” I said.
“And I said no. Get yourself off in the bedroom.” Gerard said seriously and I didn’t push it any further as I didn’t want to piss Gerard off so I went to the bedroom and got myself ready for bed and sat on the bed and looked for a film.

Gerard came out in just his pants and I stopped myself from looking and I just looked down until I felt the bed dip behind me.
“I’m sorry for my behavior. Please don’t kick me out.” I said quietly and Gerard moved and he pulled me back so my head was now resting on his lap and I was looking at him.
“I’m not going to kick you out. I understand the behavior because you have been drinking.” Gerard said softly.
“Why did Mikey shout at you saying you better not be drinking?” I asked and Gerard chuckled as he started to mess with my hair.
“When Jack died I was really depressed and to numb the pain and forget everything I would drink. I drank so much that I became a alcoholic.” Gerard said and I smiled slightly at him.
“Explains why you’re so good with me.” I whispered and Gerard smiled.
“It’s part of it but there’s another reason for it. But that’s for another time.” Gerard said and I pouted at him.
“Don’t pout at me.” Gerard chuckled.
“What will you do if I did?” I asked quietly.
“If you pull that face again and you’ll find out.” Gerard said as he flicked through Netflix to find something to watch and I just pouted at him to see what he would do.
Gerard looked down and he rolled his eyes at me and he lent down and kissed me and it took me a couple of seconds to respond but when I did respond I kissed Gerard back.
“That’s what I’ll do.” Gerard said quietly and he pulled back and I looked at him and a smile just found its way to my lips.
“Maybe I should pout some more then.” I said and Gerard chuckled.
“Is that so?” Gerard asked and I reached up and pulled his head back down and kissed him again which Gerard was quick to returned.
“Enough now.” Gerard chuckled as we both pulled back for air.
“But your lips are so good to kiss.” I said and Gerard smiled.
I moved so Gerard could get comfy and when he was comfy on his back I moved and rested my head on his chest and wrapped my arm round his middle.
“You have a heart beat?” I asked and Gerard chuckled again.
“Of course I have a heartbeat, I might be frozen in this body doesn’t mean my heart stops beating.” Gerard said and I smiled and Gerard put the film on.
“Did you want to be turned into a vampire?” I asked.
“Not to begin with, but once I got myself under control I didn’t mind so much.” Gerard said and I smiled and traced a finger over a scar I missed on his chest.
“Thought you would be cold all the time.” I yawned and Gerard chuckled.
“You think I’m something from that shitty twilight film? Nope we’re nothing like that.” Gerard said and I just nodded as Gerard messed with my hair.
“Do you think Jack if he was still here like me?” I asked and Gerard stopped messing with my hair and I looked at him.
“Jack was complicated vampire. In his head everyone was after him and was planning to kill him. But once he trusted you he was Okay I guess, but it took a lot of work and Jack was unpredictable one day he could be your friend and the next he wouldn’t think twice about killing you.” Gerard said.
“But I think you and Jack would get along.” Gerard said quietly.
“You miss him a lot don’t you.” I said quietly and wiped this tear which was rolling down Gerard’s cheek.
“I miss him everyday. He was someone who could walk into your life and he is impossible to get out of your head once he was in your head.” Gerard said and I just looked at him.
“He sounds like he was one of a kind.” I said and Gerard looked at me.
“Yeah he was.” Gerard whispered and I kissed him and Gerard returned it after a few seconds.
“I know I’m not Jack, and I would never try to replace him if your not ready to move on but just know that I’m here. I’ll always be here Gee.” I said softly and Gerard smiled at me.
“I know.” Gerard said quietly and I lead back down again and Gerard started to mess with my hair.
“Do the others like me?” I asked quietly and Gerard chuckled.
“You are a typical human, always asking questions.” Gerard said.
“But the others like you, they think of you as family. That’s if you want to be part of this strange family.” Gerard said and I sat up and I looked at him.
“You want me to be part of your family?” I asked shocked and Gerard moved some hair out of my eyes.
“Yes, we want you to be part of our family. We normally don’t take humans like you in but your special.” Gerard said and I smiled.
“I’ve never had a family before.” I said quietly as I looked down.
“You won’t abandon me will you? Like all the other people who was meant to care for me. You’ll stay by my side and be my family?” I said and Gerard smiled at me.
“I wouldn’t dream on abandoning you and neither will the others. We’re your family and you are now stuck with a bunch of vampires.” Gerard said and I smiled and I cuddled into his side and Gerard wrapped a arm behind me.
“Would rather be stuck with a bunch of vampires who care about me than be with humans who hurt me all the time.” I said and tried not to think of the abuse I had suffered over the years.
I felt Gerard kiss the top of my head and I moved more into his side.
“We would never hurt you. Yeah Ryan and Elliot might get too close to you for comfort but they would never hurt you. Or if they do then all you have to do is just say and I’ll be having serious words with them.” Gerard said and I smiled and nodded and let out a loud yawn which made Gerard laugh quietly.
“Don’t laugh at me.” I muttered as I slowly lost the fight to keep my eyes open.

“I’m sorry, settle down and go to sleep.” Gerard said quietly and I nodded as I let sleep take over my body.
