• They both walked back down the side street and pass the Ice- cream parlour Frank and Kelsey had occupied just moments ago.
    The wind picked up slightly into a light breeze flicking a few strands of Gerard's long hair across his face, and Frank positively marvelled at the effect it had on his features as if Gerard was modelling for some commercial. Gerard pushed it out of his face with a soft stroke of his hand and looked down at Frank who realised he was gawping.
    "So...how long you known Mikey?" he asked smiling down at Frank for a second before fixing his gaze back ahead of him.
    "Since I started going to that school...he's in the year below me" Frank answered immediately shoving his hands deep into his pockets.
    "Oh so then you're the same age as me I'm guessing."
    "17?" Frank questioned, looking up at him again and watching his expression.
    "Yep" he smiled down at Frank, and Frank blushed as those mysterious Green eyes found his large excited ones. And then surprise dawned on his face.
    "How come you don't go to school?" he asked him watching the green eyes turn yet again to the street ahead.
    "I go to a different school" Gerard shrugged his eyes darkening slightly.
    "Why?" Franks eyebrows rose so high that they threatened to fly of at any moment.
    "Reasons" Gerard shrugged again but by the change in his posture and expression Frank knew immediately that he did not want to discuss this, and so he let it go.
    "Are you and Mikey close?" Frank asked changing the subject, he breathed with relief as he saw Gerard smile.
    "Yeah we're tight"
    "Hmm I wish I had a brother" Frank pouted crossing his arms over his chest.
    "It has its drawbacks"
    "But it has its perks as well and the perks are great"
    "Yeah that's true….me and Mikey hardly ever argue…and even if we do it's lasts like, what? Ten seconds and then we forget about it….like nothing happened"
    "That sounds like me and Kelsey" Frank told him putting a finger on his lips and looking up at the sky in thought.
    Finally they were at the coffee shop, Starbucks to be exact. They walked and ordered what they wanted then sat down in a corner table right next to the window
    "That's your girlfriend right? Mikey's mentioned you a few times".
    "Who?"
    "Kelsey I think you said her name was"
    Gerard looked down and noticed Frank had frozen, he looked at him in surprise and noticed that he was staring at Gerard with his mouth open and a slightly horrified look in his eyes.
    "Girlfriend" he hissed clearly appalled.
    "Um…that's what you are a couple…aren't you?" Gerard asked hesitantly.
    "No" it was the same no he had given Kelsey this morning when she asked if he was naked. It clearly told Gerard that whatever he thought he was waaaay of the mark.
    "Oh um….s-sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything"
    Frank looked at him for a second and burst out laughing; he was totally embarrassed by this and pushed his hands against his mouth trying to hold back his girlish giggle.
    "W-why are you laughing?" Gerard asked trying not to laugh at Frank he looked so funny with his hands clamped to his mouth trying not to laugh. It was just so cute
    "Gerard- you- you thought buahahahaha" Frank burst out laughing, folded his arms on the table then dropped his head into them, laughing hysterically
    Gerard laughed at Franks sudden burst of the giggles. He waited for Frank to calm down; Finally Frank lifted his head wiping the tears that had escaped his eyes.
    "Gerard Kelsey being my girlfriend is….well impossible" Frank grinned at least it is now anyway.
    "And why's that?" Gerard asked crossing his arms pouting at the fact that Frank had been laughing at him for at least an hour.
    Gerard stopped pouting as he watched Frank's expression change; he looked worried scared, he watched as he began picking at the wood surrounding the edge of the table.
    "Well….um…I don't" Gerard waited patiently and suddenly it clicked and he knew before the words even left Frank's mouth.
    "I'm gay" Frank finished then risked a quick glance up at Gerard before bowing his head again turning slightly red. All the while he repeated the same line in his head please don't be freaked out, please don't be freaked out!!!
    "Oh cool" Gerard grinned and Frank's head shot up in surprise, Gerard was smirking at him, his eyes so intense that Frank couldn't look away. He let his eyes slide down
    To Gerard's lips they looked so soft and supple, the perfect colour of pink twisted up into that smirk that was just perfect for his features, his long hair framed perfectly around his face, angling his cheek bones, and the black shadow shrouding his eyes, making them stand out even more than usual. Frank couldn't stop going back to those eyes, looking right through Frank.
    "You like guys?" Gerard asked
    "Um…yeah" Frank answered, it sounded weak as though he sensed that Gerard was about to laugh in his face and call him a weirdo.
    "Well I guess that's something we have in common then" and then he smiled which nearly knocked Frank out of his seat.
    "Really" Frank breathed barley a whisper. Gerard then broke the eye contact and Frank embarrassingly noticed he'd unconsciously been leaning across the table.
    He blushed and took a gulp of his coffee to hide the hot red colour stinging his cheeks.
    "Well I'm bi" he said this with total calm just like Kelsey had been in the ice cream parlour.
    He then looked back at Frank his head tilted to the side as Frank slowly lowered his cup, Frank swallowed and not because he had Coffee in his mouth, Gerard's gaze was making him nervous, and he got that searching feeling again like Gerard was still trying to figure him out.
    "o-oh cool" Frank smiled nervously pushing his cup further on to the table trying to stop his hands from shaking. He cleared his throat and began spinning his spoon around in his cup making the water spin.
    Gerard watched him for a moment and then noticed the shirt he was wearing.
    "You like black flag?" he asked him gesturing his hand towards Frank's body.
    "Oh yeah I think they're great…you like them?" Frank replied positively beaming with the change in subject.
    "Yeah they're great" Gerard agreed enthusiastically "I prefer the misfits though to be honest" he smiled at Frank innocently.
    "Yeah they're awesome but its black flag for me"
    And Gerard was surprised to see Frank stick his little pick tongue out of his mouth at him.
    "How dare you" Gerard gasped in mock disgust letting his mouth fall open., Frank giggled.
    He's like a child Gerard thought to himself. He suddenly flicked his arm upwards and looked at the watch on his wrist.
    "Dam" he muttered to himself, Frank looked up in surprise.
    "What's up?"
    "I got to go I'm sorry I'm almost late for work"
    "Oh I'm sorry" Frank told him quietly looking at the table.
    "Hey no it's not your fault your" Gerard smiled and then frank melted as the smirk appeared back onto those soft pink lips. "your interesting".
    He got up and Frank followed him out of the shop
    "Well I guess I'll see you again"
    Frank held out his arms instantly for a hug, he then realised what he was doing….he was so dam used to Kelsey pouncing on him every second that wanting a hug was almost and instant reaction.
    Gerard laughed and took him in his arms cuddling Frank, Frank felt himself blush.
    "I'll see you later Frankie" Gerard muttered letting him go.
    "Bye" Frank croaked as he watched Gerard set off down the street.
    Frankie he had called him Frankie!
    "Wow" Frank whispered. "What a day" he then grinned and began jogging back towards the park.
