Beauty and his Beast

“Frankie, it’s not like he didn’t fucking deserve it, he was saying things I didn’t like..”
Gerard looked down poking at his taco shell that looked like shit. He didn’t want to say it but he knew that Frank had known why he had done what he did. Frank was innocent and gentle but he wasn’t stupid.

“You mean things about me.”

His voice was nearly a whisper if Gerard wasn’t paying attention to him he wouldn’t have heard it at all, but he did and his heart sank. He didn’t want this for Frank again. He had it hard enough last year he didn’t want to repeat it all. He didn’t want Frank to go through that hell again.

“Frank, it’s not like that, you know there are people who will never understand you. That’s why I’m here, I’ll always be here to protect you.”

Frank needed to be cared for, he couldn’t handle school or life on his own, he was needy, and that was one of Gerard’s favorite things about Frank, he needed him. More than anyone ever has.

They truly were lost without each other. Gerard needed someone to protect and love, and frank needed that love to stay alive. He needed Gerard.

“I’ll be okay this year Gee, this year will be different, I can feel it. It’s a feeling I have, things will be good this year. Once everyone moves on I won’t need to hide, and you won’t have to protect me anymore.. You could live your life. Even if it’s without me.”

Little did Frankie know, he was Gerard’s life, next to his little brother he was the only person Gerard genuinely cared about. Sure there were his parents, but they wouldn’t be around forever.
Frank however would stay with him forever.

“Frankie, I’m not fucking going anywhere.”

They weren’t lovers. They couldn’t be. That didn’t stop Gerard from giving frank all his love and affection that he deserved.

Pulling Frank into his lap and breathing in his scent he let out a smile, the whole room may have been watching but Frank let out a soft giggle and it lifted Gerard’s heart making him feel warm inside something that heated up his cold heart.

“Gee the whole room is staring at us..a-and I’m getting glares by quite a few girls.”

Gerard rolled his eyes letting out a huff and placing frank back at his side.

“ you really should stop worrying about them Frank. You can’t let them get to you anymore.”

Frank looked down at his plate not acknowledging the others comment. He didn’t want to talk about it.

This year would be different and he just had to keep telling himself that and it would be. He couldn’t do this again, he couldn’t live through this again. Turning towards Gerard he smiled brightly.
“I’m fine Gee, they won’t get to me. I won’t let them, this year will be good, I’m telling you! And as long as your by my side I have nothing to fear, right?”

“Right Frankie, you have nothing to fear.”
