Beauty and his Beast

For Frank it was easier said than done to be able to not fear a single person in this school. In his opinion he had everything to fear, from everyone. He was repeating Gerard’s words in his head almost every minute.

‘Don’t let them get to you Frankie’

Gerard has this way of soothing Frank, of calming all the demons in his soul. He didn’t feel so alone when he was with him. He felt safe, he knew he would be okay.
So as he entered his last period gym class and changed in front of the other boys he shook less than expected. His fear was ebbing away, with Gerard’s words stuck in his head he felt almost invincible.

Poking his head around the corner and almost bumping into a tall figure he nearly yelped.

“Oh my goodness! It’s so good to see you Frankie!”

To Frank the voice was almost unfamiliar, Spending his entire summer with the Ways had left everyone else pretty far out of reach and out of his mind. Although he would recognize that curly mess of hair anywhere. Next to Mikey and Gerard he had known Ray almost his entire life. He hadn’t even thought to ask if he would be in any of his classes this year.

“Ray, it’s really nice to see you too, how was your summer.”

He tried to make conversation something that used to come easily to him but now it was so hard to talk to anyone. Even someone as close to him as Ray.
“Pft, Frank you know the real question is how was your summer? The whole schools talking about it. Gerard said he was in Miami all summer, and no one saw you around.. Were you with him.”

By now they were walking outside onto the grass to walk their miles and it left them plenty of time to talk. However a blush crept onto his cheeks as Ray asked about his summer.

Yes it was true him and Gerard had spent the summer together. Although they weren’t alone they were together, and that’s the way they liked it.

“Well.. D-don’t tell anyone but, yes I was with Gee this summer..and yes my parents let me go to Miami with his family..”

Ray was the only person in Frank’s life who knew how he truly felt about Gerard, how his heart beat a little faster every time he saw him, or how a single touch could make him weak in the knees.

The Squeal Ray let out was a hilarious mixture of disbelief and excitement. He was curious for sure. Frank couldn’t help his thoughts either, of what could of happened if he wasn’t so scared. If he wasn’t so fragile, he wondered what could have been different.

“Are you gonna tell me Frank?! I need details I need to know everything. What happened? What did you do? More importantly what did you two do together?”

Frank’s face fell and he bit his lip, “ Ray, we didn’t do anything, at all.”
His voice dropped almost in disappointment and let out a whisper,

“We never will”
Rays laugh knocked Frank out of whatever self pity he was feeling. Ray was laughing so hard he was turning red, and it was starting to really scare Frank.

“Your kidding right? He’s legit in love with you Frank, I’ve never met someone so protective for someone like he is for you.”

Frank kicked a pebble and huffed, he spoke softly, “ Ray it’s not cool her way of you think.. he’s just protective.. he’s my best friend.”

Frank believed it too, he knew in his heart that he couldn’t have feelings for Gerard. He knew deep down that Gerard would never have feelings for him. That knowledge left an empty hole in his heart. It ached for the love and affection that Gerard so generously Dolled out for him every chance he got.

“Yeah whatever you say Frank.”

“Yeah, okay Mikes I get it.”

Gerard was getting more irritated by the minute from his brothers incessant nagging.
“Look Gee, all I’m saying is that you can’t hide it forever. He really likes you and we both know your utterly in love with him. So shoot your shot bro.”

Mikey was sitting on the art table with his legs crossed and basically in his big brothers face. The year of peaceful art that Gerard had was all but a dream the moment he found out his brother was in the same art class as him.

The painting Gerard was working on was long dried, the time for working was over, or that’s what mikey was saying.

“You danced around this all summer Gerard.”

Gerard’s face dropped a little as he tried to push his thoughts back into focus.
“He couldn’t handle it, Mikes.” He paused for a moment rubbing his face with both hands. “ He can’t handle himself, If I ever hurt him, I don’t know what would happen. I can’t think about what would happen.”

Mikey looked at him and pushed Gerard’s painting to the other side of the table. It wasn’t as if Gerard was working on it anymore anyway.

Gerard’s heart was pounding as if it would leap from his chest. Frank’s feelings were important to him and if his brother didn’t shut up soon he didn’t know what he may do.

“Gee, listen to me, he wants you, and I don’t know how much longer you can control yourself anyway, listen bro I know you better than anyone else. You have tendencies to do things that no one else could handle. Sometimes I think you underestimate Frank.”

Images of Frank underneath him flashing through his mind and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

“Yeah.. maybe I do.”

Gerard’s art class had run a little late, but of course Frank hadn’t known that. So as he sat outside the school waiting for Gerard and Mikey he couldn’t help but get nervous. What if Gerard had gotten bored of him and left him? What if he got into another fight? What would he do then? He couldn’t possibly walk home alone. His hands were shaking as he was walking into the parking lot.

“Frankie hold up!”
Right there he saw Mikey, and where Mikey was Gerard would soon follow. The relief had shown on his face and had led Mikey to give him a questioning glance
.
“Don’t worry, I got out early but Gerard got stuck talking with his art teacher, apparently their like besties or some shit.” Mikey did always know how to reassure him when it came to Gerard.
“Oh.. okay, How was your first day Mikey?”

Mikey’s smile worried Frank a little, “Well for your information Frank it was really good. In fact I spent two hours with my brother, mostly talking about you.”

Frank almost choked on air at the last comment, why him? What did they even have to talk about, he wasn’t a very interesting person to begin with.

“Me? What is there to talk about, you literally spent the whole summer talking about me. I’m sure you talked about other things.”

The smile was still there bright on Mikey’s face that was until they heard a familiar voice.
“ of course we talked about other things Frankie, don’t you worry.”

There he was, the boy of the hour, and Frank was more than happy to see him. His dark hair covering his face in a shadow. He was the light of Frank’s eye and unfortunately Gerard would never know.
