Gerard was curled up in his bed, Frank sleeping beside him. They didn't do anything together. In fact, Mikey was even sleeping in the room with them. Gerard scrolled through his phone, taking a picture to send to his friends for streaks. It was a picture of him and Frank laying together in bed.

Patrick: We should hang out!

Gerard smiled at the text from his friend back in North Brunswick. He hasn't gotten to see any of his North Brunswick friends ever since he moved here. He did miss them. He was always going out to see them.

Gerard: We definitely should:)

Patrick: Ty is throwing a party tonite, you should come. Maybe invite some of your new friends

Gerard: I'll try to b there

Frank stirred awake, looking around.

"Oh my god, I drooled on your pillow," he said. "I-I am so sorry."

"It's really no big deal, Frank," Gerard said, kissing his cheek. "Do you wanna go to a party with me later?"

"A party? Debby doesn't throw parties now that she's pregnant," he mumbled sleepily as he rubbed his eyes.

"No, a party by my friend Tyler back in North Brunswick," Gerard said. "I would really like for you to be able to meet all of my friends there."

"I'll have to ask my mom but I'm sure she'll be fine with it," Frank said. "It's been a while since I've been to a party, usually Debby is the one to throw them."

Gerard smiled, kissing his cheek.

"Thanks for letting me stay the night," Frank said.

"Thank you for staying, I practically had to beg you," he said with a small chuckle.

"I should go get ready before the party," Frank said. "What time are we gonna leave?"

"I was thinking that maybe we could leave at, like, six and then grab some dinner on the way," he said.

"That sounds good," Frank said.

"You should stay for breakfast," Gerard said. "Whenever we have guests over my dad always makes a nicer breakfast and I'm pretty sure I smell french toast."

"Oh, okay," Frank said. "I-I don't want your dad to waste it and put in all this work for nothing."

Gerard smiled and gave him a soft kiss.

"You guys are gross," Mikey mumbled from his bed, turning his back to them.

Gerard chuckled, wrapping an arm around Frank's waist.

"Come on, let's go," he said.

Gerard got up, pulling Frank with him. Frank got dressed in the bathroom before meeting him down in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Frank, are you a coffee or juice kind of person?" Donald asked.

"Um, coffee," Frank chose.

"Alright, I've already fixed up plates for you," he said. "Have a seat."

Frank sat next to Gerard at the table, looking at the plate full of fresh, hot food. Gerard handed Frank the syrup, smiling happily. They were pretty quiet during breakfast and Gerard walked him out when they were done.

"Seriously, Frankie, I can give you a ride home, it's cold out," Gerard said.

"That's okay, I'll just board home," he said. "I have been needing some fresh air anyways."

"Okay, I'll pick you up later tonight," he said. "Be ready because I am gonna be wearing something super cute. Maybe my leather pants."

Frank blushed, nodding his head.

"But then again, you always look cute so you don't even have to try," Gerard said. "I'll pick you up."

Gerard gave Frank a kiss before watching him skateboard off down the street. He went up, taking a shower before grabbing his hair dye. The red was starting to fade and he decided that recoloring it would be the best thing to do before he went to a party and saw all his old friends again.

The process took about an hour to color and rinse and then another half hour to dry and style it. He curled up in bed reading until it was time to start getting ready a few hours later. Gerard wore a pair of black leather pants, a black t-shirt that had the sleeves cut off and a black leather jacket.

"What do you think?" He asked, posing in front of the full length mirror in his room.

"Good," Mikey said, barely even looking up from his comic book.

"You are no help," Gerard said, flipping his hair. "I look amazing."

He grabbed his phone and wallet before going downstairs to the car.

"Promise me you'll be safe driving there," Donald said. "No smoking, no drinking, no drugs."

"I know, Dad," Gerard said. "I'm gonna be staying the night at Tyler's, I don't want to drive back too late."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," Donald said. "And make sure you make good choices while you're there. Remember, good choices lead to good outcomes."

"I know," Gerard said. "Love you, bye."

He grabbed the keys before driving off down to Frank's apartment where he was waiting outside. He was wearing a pair of grey jeans and a black Steelers shirt. He got in, immediately looking Gerard over.

"You look good, should I change?" Frank asked. "I-I can go change."

"You look amazing," Gerard said. "Don't even worry about it."

Gerard turned the music on, singing as loud as he could. Eventually Frank relaxed and even started singing along, too, even though he wasn't the best at singing. The two laughed, seeming to be completely relaxed and having fun.

They arrived at the house, seeing everybody filtering in and out. They walked in, Frank trailing behind Gerard. Everyone was smiling and laughing as they hugged Gerard with choruses of how much they missed him.

"Wow, you were popular," Frank remarked.

Gerard chuckled. "Come on, I wanna introduce you to some people."

Gerard took Frank's hand and pulled him down to the basement. Everyone knew the basement was the exclusive place at Tyler's parties, you were lucky if you could get in.

"Gerard, oh my god, we've missed you so much!" Patrick exclaimed, hurrying over to give him a hug and a wet kiss on the cheek.

"Wow, okay, how much have you had to drink?" Gerard asked with a soft laugh.

"A little too much," Tyler said. "Hey, man, it's good to see you again."

"Yeah, you too," Gerard replied. "This is Frank, he's my boyfriend."

"Ooh, you're settling down?" Patrick asked.

"I told you, I'm a different person now, I've changed," he said. "I wasn't gonna do that shit anymore."

"Well, I don't think everyone's quite gotten the word of that, some people were pretty excited about you coming," Tyler said.

"I tried changing back in Brunswick but nobody listened, now I'm in Belleville and I am a new person with a beautiful, beautiful boyfriend," Gerard stated.

Frank blushed, looking down.

"Well, would you like a drink?" Tyler asked.

Gerard pulled Frank over to the cooler, grabbing a beer for himself. Frank pulled one out too before closing the lid. They sat on one of the couches, talking with everyone there. Multiple people came to hit on Gerard but he pushed them all away.

"So, I guess you really got around," Frank mumbled.

"I'm sorry, Frankie, I was really hoping that they would all just kind of ignore me," he said. "Honestly, I'm surprised they even remember me, thought they would've all forgotten about me or something."

"You're not a very forgetful person," Frank said.

"That's sweet of you to say," Gerard said, kissing his cheek.

"Gerard, how is everything going down in Belleville?" Tyler asked.

"I miss this place like crazy but it is really great there," he said. "Made new friends, some really great ones. And, oh god, you should see Mikey. I gave him this whole makeover and he looks amazing. I think that it's really boosted his confidence, he's been talking with a girl."

"A girl, like a real live girl?" Tyler asked. "Not just a comic book character?"

"Nope, a girl who, may I say, is absolutely beautiful," he said.

They all caught up with each other and Frank even seemed to be making friends with them, which Gerard was glad about.

"Come on, baby, let's go dance," Gerard said.

"Gerard always feels like dancing when he's kind of drunk," Tyler said. "You're gonna be doing a lot of dancing in your life, Frank."

Frank, however, was also kind of drunk and didn't seem to mind as he followed Gerard over to the stereo where other kids were dancing. The two were laughing as they danced together, showing the goofiest moves they had. But soon that goofy dancing turned into them kissing and grinding.

"Fuck," Frank muttered.

He was hard and might've been more embarrassed if he weren't so drunk. Gerard kissed his neck, pulling his body closer.

"You wanna go find a room?" Gerard whispered.

Frank nodded and Gerard pulled him up to the second floor. They went into Tyler's empty bedroom, falling down against the bed together. Frank pulled away, panting heavily.

"I-I don't want sex," he said, not quite drunk enough to go all the way. "B-but I do...I wanna do something."

Gerard nodded, kissing his neck. Frank whimpered, his cheeks red. He was nervous, letting Gerard take the lead.

"Relax, baby, and tell me if you want to stop," Gerard said. "Seriously, I don't wanna make you uncomfortable and I don't want to push you to far."

Frank nodded, tangling his hands into Gerard's bright red hair. Gerard ground against Frank slowly, sucking on his neck. Music could still be heard, quiet and faint in the dark room. Gerard's hand slowly snuck down Frank's pants, slowly enough to give Frank time to tell him to stop if he wanted to. He didn't.

Gerard pushed Frank's jeans and boxers down around his thighs, a hand going to wrap around Frank's erection. Frank gasped, his hips jerking up in response.

"You're so pretty," Gerard whispered.

Frank panted, closing his eyes. Gerard kissed down his chest, his mouth wrapping around Frank's erection. Gerard worked his magic and within a matter of thirty seconds, Frank was on cloud nine. He moaned, hands tightening in Gerard's hair as he came.

"God, you are so beautiful," Gerard muttered, curling up next to Frank.

Frank blushed, pulling his pants up. Gerard kissed his cheek, gently brushing away his dark hair. Frank's cheeks were flushed red his heart still racing.

"I-I'm sorry, that was fast," Frank said.

"You were perfect," Gerard said. "Taste pretty good too."

Frank blushed, burying his face into Gerard's chest. Gerard hummed, holding his boyfriend close as he began to fall asleep in his arms.

"You can go back down with your friends, if you want," Frank mumbled sleepily. "I know you really missed them and were wanting to hang out with them."

"I would really love to just stay here with you," Gerard said. "You're the best I could ever have. The only person who really makes me feel like I'm having a great time."

Frank smiled, laying his head on Gerard's chest.

"Just give me a minute and we can both go down there," he said.

"Take all the time you need," Gerard said.

Frank nodded, taking a few deep breaths to compose himself.

"Gerard, I have a question, a slightly awkward question," Frank said and Gerard nodded. "Who...who would be the top and bottom?"

"Well, I'm usually the bottom, if that's okay with you," he said.

Frank nodded, standing up.

"Come on, let's go back and party some more, you can cuddle in bed with me whenever, you don't always get to see your friends back here," Frank said.

They went  back to the basement, where their friends laughed and cheered.

"Well, if you guys wanted to play seven minutes in heaven then you could've just asked," Tyler teased.

"Seven minutes in heaven?" Someone asked. "I'm in if Gerard's in."

Gerard looked up and saw Lindsey standing there. He smiled, getting up to give her a hug.

"Lindsey, you are always so late to everything," Gerard said. "It is ridiculous how late you always are to absolutely everything."

Lindsey giggled, pressing her lips to Gerard's when he pulled away.

"Uh, Lindsey, this is my boyfriend, Frank," Gerard introduced.

"Oh, boyfriend," Lindsey remarked, an unhappy tone in her voice. "You don't have boyfriends, Gerard. You don't date people. Come on, are we  not FWBs anymore?"

"Nope, sorry," he said, sitting back down beside Frank.

"FWBs?" Frank asked quietly.

"Friends with benefits," he explained.

Frank nodded, not too happy when Lindsey sat on the other side of Gerard and draped her legs over his lap.

"Hey, Gerard, let's go dance," he said.

"I haven't seen Gerard in forever, ever since he moved," Lindsey said. "Is it okay if we just kind of have some time to catch up? I mean, he lives near you now, you two can go dancing whenever you want."

"I'm sure my boyfriend can choose for himself," Frank stated.

They both stared at him and Gerard looked back and forth.

"We can go dance a bit and then I'll catch up with you, Lindsey, I'll be staying over so I'll be here all night," he said.

Gerard took his hand, bringing him back to the dance floor.

"Well, I have never seen you act like that," Gerard said. "Maybe those green eyes of yours are green because of envy."

"I'm sorry, that was dumb of me," he said. "I was just nervous. I don't know. She just made me a bit uncomfortable with how close she was to you and she kissed you and everything."

"I only have my eyes on you," Gerard said, holding his hips. "And I wouldn't look any other way."
