Homeland

Frank’s POV
I made sure Gerard was okay before I went back to the kitchen where Jase was just coming too again and I picked him up by his collar and pushed him hard and he crashed into the island and he looked at me.
“First you bring drugs into my house after I told you not to bring any into the house, and then you try and rape my fiancé!” I said seriously as I pinned Jase to the island.
“I don’t know what happened Frank I swear.” Jase said and I gave him this look that if he spoke he would regret it.
“Gee has been through hell, he has been fucking raped and you think it’s okay to try and hurt him in his home, in the one place he feels safe, the one place he doesn’t fear. You make me fucking sick Jase and I know that this isn’t you. Now me and you are going to go to get help for you but when you get out you aren’t welcomed to stay with me and Gee. But we are looking for a new place as Gee doesn’t feel safe here because of what happened so I am willing to give you this place and you need to find a job and once you are one your feet you can have the apartment. But the condition to having this place is that you have to stay sober. If I find out you have relapsed you can kiss the apartment goodbye.” I said seriously and Jase nodded.
Jase looked towards my room and I looked where I saw that Gerard had fallen asleep.
“Get your eyes off him.” I growled and Jase looked at me.
“Can I go and say sorry to him?” Jase asked quietly.
“You stay the fuck away from him.” I said seriously and Jase nodded as he looked down away from my eye.
“Right get your shit, you are coming with me and I am taking you to rehab and you can get your shit together. Also you better hope Gee doesn’t want to press charges on you for what you did.” I said seriously and walked off outside where I had to take a couple of breaths because if I didn’t I would of killed Jase.
I parked outside the rehab and I looked at Jase and he looked scared and worried.
“Why is getting out the car so hard.” Jase said quietly and I smiled at him.
“The unknown. But what I do know is that this place is the best place for you to be in.” I said and Jase looked at me.
“I’m sorry for my behaviour Frank.” Jase said and I smiled at him.
“I’m not the one who you have to say sorry too, I don’t know if Gee can ever forgive you for that Jase. Yes Gee is a trusting person but once you fuck up, you fuck up and there’s no going back.” I said and Jase sighed as he looked down and picked at his hands a little.
“Look, you might be able to get in his good books again, but I’m not Gee but I do live with him and I know that I’m in for a few nights of no sleep and Gee having nightmares, so cheers buddy he was just getting better as well.” I said and Jase sighed as he looked out the window.
“If I go in then I miss Ollie’s funeral, I’ll probably miss your wedding.” Jase said quietly and I chuckled.
“Yeah you’ll miss Ollie’s funeral but you know what he was like, never really liked being the center of attention but would always enjoy the piss up afterwards, as for the wedding we haven’t even spoken about that yet so I think you’ll be in good hands on that one.” I said and Jase sighed and I put my hand on his knee which made him look at me.
“Weddings are always better than funerals. I don’t want to go to Ollie’s funeral but he’s been my best friend since school and we went through the army together so I owe him to go to his funeral, you can always try to get out for the funeral but I’m leaving it at your choice. Now get that ass of your inside and get better. I’ll be here to pick you up in 3 months time.” I said and Jase smiled as he lent forward and hugged me awkwardly which I returned.
“It’s gonna be tough okay, but you are a solider and a special forces soldier. You got this shit okay.” I said and Jase nodded that seem to be what he needed as he got out the car and walked up the steps and went inside, I waited for a couple of minutes before I left and went home.
———————————————————————————————————————
When I got home Gerard was in the sitting room nursing a coffee.
“Hey babe.” I said softly and Gerard looked at me and smiled as I walked over to the sofa and kissed the top of his head as I walked back round and sat next to him.
“Did Jase Get off okay?” Gerard asked quietly.
“Yeah he did, hopefully he’ll stay there for the whole 3 months.” I said and Gerard nodded as he looked down.
“Hey, if you want I can get my laptop and we can go house hunting if you want to.” I said and Gerard looked at me and as he nodded.
“I like that idea.” Gerard said quietly as I stood up and got my laptop and sat back next to Gee and he cuddled into my side and we went looking for the perfect home for us.
We found this house and it was perfect for us and we managed to even get a viewing for the place.
We pulled up outside the house and I looked at Gee and he had a small smile on his face which made me smile.
“Want to have a look inside?” I asked quietly and Gerard looked at me and smiled as he nodded.
“Yeah.” Gerard said and we both got out the car and went up to the house and walked inside and I felt a positive vibe in the place straight away and I looked at Gerard and he had a smile on his face which means so far he liked it.
“Hi there, I’m Gabby and I’ll be showing you around and you must Mr Iero.” Gabby said really happily and she walked over to me and shook my hand and just ignored Gerard which annoyed me slightly.
“Yeah and my fiancé Gerard.” I said and Gabby looked at Gerard and smiled.
“I’ll show you round then.” Gabby said and you could see she was flirting with me in front of Gerard.
Gerard wasn’t the best of picking up body language but he picked up Gabby’s body language.
“Did you hear him? I’m his fiancé and he only likes dick so sticking you tits out and flicking your hair isn’t going to do anything for him. So just do your job and show us the house and I’ll flirt with my fiancé.” Gerard said seriously and I looked down and smiled as I tried to hold back a chuckle and I looked back up and Gabby looked a little flustered at Gerard and she turned round and showed us the house.
After she showed us the house she left us alone.
“So despite her rattling your cage, what do you think of this place?” I said and Gerard smiled as he patted my hand which must of been a good thing.
“I love the house. It’s perfect for us and for whatever the future holds for us.” Gerard which made me smile as I kissed the side of his head.
“Well, what would you say if I said that while you was getting dress, I may off put an offer on this place.” I said and Gerard smile widely as he moved and kissed me hard which made me smile as I hugged him.
“So as soon as we sign the papers for this place and sort what crap we want or to put in storage or sell we can move in and make this place ours.” I said which made Gerard smile as he nodded.
Me and Gerard was happily cuddled on the sofa when my phone went off but it was the ring tone I had on my phone for when I got called to duty.
Gerard sat up and looked at me with a frown as he knew what this ring tone meant as well and I got up and answered the phone.
“Hello?” I said confused because I said I didn’t want to go back on tour again.
“Iero, look I know you said you don’t want to go back on tour but we need you to go back on tour.” The person said and I sighed as I looked down.
“I meant it when I said I didn’t want to tour again. So take me of that bloody list now because I’m not going.” I said seriously.
“Look I’m just the dude who phones you. You can take it out with the boss.” The person said and I just rolled my eyes and hung up.
“I’ve have to go out for a bit.” I said as I picked my keys up and sat next to Gee to put my shoes on.
“They want you to go back don’t they.” Gerard said quietly and I looked at him and kissed his cheek.
“I will not being going because I will either be able to talk them out of it or I’ll leave and find something else to do.” I said and Gerard looked down.
“You can go if you want to, I can’t stop you.” Gerard said quietly and I made him look at me and I kissed him which Gerard returned.
“Nope, I promised you I’ll not go back on tour and I mean that because I don’t want to be away from you. So if I do leave I have a back up plan.” I said which made Gerard frown at me.
“I’ll still get my thrill of throwing myself into danger.” I said which made Gerard smile as he chuckled.
“You are fucking crazy.” Gerard said which made me smile as I kissed him and stood up as I picked my phone up off the coffee table.
“And that’s why you love me and want to marry me.” I said which made Gerard roll his eyes at me as I walked past him and I quickly lent against the back of the sofa and kissed the top of his head.
“You can finish the film.” I said and I walked off and went to base.
I walked into the office and head towards the place I need to be and I stood by the door and just walked in.
“Frank, to what do I owe with you storming into my office.” The person who was in charge of deploying everyone said.
We normally call him prick because he was a prick both inside the office and on exercise.
“I don’t appreciate being phoned up on my day off with my fiancé, telling me I have to go back onto tour. Gerard isn’t stupid he knows what that ringtone on my phone means and now he’s worried that I’m going to disappear for months on end and I also requested not to be put onto the tour list.” I said seriously.
“Look we are short of people and since you have been successful and you are particularly being wasted being here, we thought to bring you back.” Twat said and I scoffed as I rolled my eyes.
“You are aware Gerard is mentally unstable and me being away does not help him in the slightest so I said not to put me on tour so Gerard doesn’t end up fucking killing himself while I’m away.” I said and Twat just looked at me.
“He’ll just have to get used to it.” He said and that pissed me off.
“I have fucking tried going on tour with Gerard being unstable and guess what it doesn’t fucking work as he goes off the fucking handle. So you either take me off the fucking list or I am leaving effectively.” I said seriously and twat just nodded.
“Well you know where to go if you want to leave.” Twat said and I sarcastically smiled as I walked out the office and went to the other office.
Once I was finished there, I went straight to the other place which was the firehouse and signed myself on there.
I got home and Gerard was listening to music but I couldn’t work out where he was so I walked into the bathroom to find Gerard in the shower.
“Hey babe.” I said as I took my clothes and got in the shower with Gerard which made him jump and he turned round and smiled at me as he kissed me which I returned.
“So I’m no longer in the army.” I said and Gerard pulled back and looked at me as he frowned Seriously at me.
“You love being in the army.” Gerard said and I chuckled softly as I moved towards Gerard and started to kiss his neck and work on his sweet spots.
“Well I love you more.” I said quietly as I marked Gerard and he moved his head so I could get to his neck better.
“But...” Gerard started but he moaned and I pushed Gerard to the wall and I turned him round and I just fucked Gerard senseless.
Gerard had pretty much passed out so I left him in bed while I ordered us both a takeaway and I made sure I got Gerard’s favorite takeaway.
I was just dishing up the food when Gerard walked to the kitchen in just his pants.
“You got my favorite?” Gerard said quietly as he lent against me watching me.
“Yep, think I was a little too rough with you so this is me saying sorry.” I said as I looked at him and Gerard smiled as he kissed me and he walked over to where we keep the paracetamol and he got himself a couple and took them as washed them down with some water.
“You okay?” I asked and Gerard smiled.
“I’m okay, but my ass is on fire at the moment.” Gerard said and I chuckled quietly as I smiled and looked at him.
“Don’t say sorry.” Gerard said as he kissed me and he picked his plate up and he went to the sitting room where he found something for us to watch.
“Okay, so you know I left the army.” I said as I walked into the sitting room and sat next to him.
“Yeah, But you never did say what is going to happen now.” Gerard said and I smiled slightly.
“So not only was being in the army was a childhood dream of mine, but also being a fire fighter.” I said and Gerard smiled.
“So you signed up to be one?” Gerard asked quietly and I nodded.
“Gee think about it, I can work two days and I’ll be off two days. You’ll be seeing me more than what you do now. Also you don’t have to worry about me going to the other side of the world and someone killing me or kidnapping me and not being able to come home.” I said and Gerard looked at me.
“I’m not that person who will stop you doing what you want to do. I know you would rather risk your life for others than being sat in a office like you was. I support you with everything you want to do with your life. But you are not allowed to get yourself killed. That is one thing you are not allowed to do.” Gerard said as he put his plate on the coffee table and he kissed me which I returned.
“Still I have a fucking good pension off the army, I still have my rank but when I go and be a fire fighter I won’t be able to use it. They also don’t have to worry about my fitness as I’ll pass that with flying colours.” I said and Gerard chuckled.
“As long as nobody gets to see what’s under the clothing then I don’t care.” Gerard said and I smiled.
“I’m all yours baby.” I said quietly as I kissed the side of Gerard’s head and we spent the evening watching films.
