I walked outside and got into Ms. Iero's car, which Frank was driving. He smiled, giving me a kiss.

"How was your session today?" He asked.

I shrugged and he smiled reassuringly.

"My mom's making spaghetti for dinner," he said. "And I bought more Sprite too."

He drove us back to his house from my therapy session, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on my thigh.

"You wanna talk about it?" He asked and I shook my head. "That's okay, you don't have to talk to me about it if you don't want to but I do want you talking to your psychologist. I-I want you to feel better."

"I know you do," I said quietly.

"I don't want you to feel like pressured by me or anything, just take your time," he said. "I know it's a long, hard process but you're gonna be okay, I know you are."

"I know what else is long and hard," I muttered.

Frank snorted, giving me thigh a small squeeze.

"I also rented some movies on my laptop," he said.

I smiled softly, resting my hand on his.

"That sounds really nice right about now," I said.

He smiled and we got home, sitting at his table. His mom already had dinner made.

"You okay, Gee?" She asked.

I shrugged softly and she kissed the top of my head, sitting across from us.

"You have homework to do this weekend, Frank?" Ms. Iero asked.

"Only a little bit," Frank said.

"Well, make sure you get it done," she said.

Frank nodded, taking a bite of his food.

"How is school going, Gee?" She asked.

"I-it's Okay, I guess," I mumbled.

I looked down, taking a small bite. I wasn't very hungry but I knew Frank would want me to eat, I just didnt have an appetite at all. I just wanted to lay in bed listen to music or something.

"Alright, we're gonna go watch movies or something," Frank said when we finished eating.

"That's fine, just don't stay up too late," Ms. Iero said.

We nodded and went up to Frank's room. He grabbed his laptop and pulled me onto the bed with him to snuggle.

"You're so pretty," he mumbled, brushing my hair behind his ear.

I blushed softly and he kissed my cheek. He wrapped his arms around me and started playing a movie, which I now saw was Jaws.

"Frank, wh-why are you still dating me?" I asked. "I only bring along trouble."

"No, that's not true," he denied. "You're perfect. And I really, really like you a lot and I want to be with you for a very, very long time."

I looked at him as I smiled softly. I rested my head on his shoulder and felt him wrap his arms around me. Warmth radiated off his body and I leaned closer as I hummed.

He kissed the top of my head and I smiled. Frank ran his fingers through my haircut holding me tight in his arms. I felt so safe in his arms, I loved being here with him.

"Frankie, I-I think I'm falling for you too," I whispered.

I looked at him nervously. Oh god, I think I might throw up or something.

"Good, I'm falling for you too," he said. "And I mean it, I really do like you a lot."

I smiled, leaning up to give him a soft kiss.

"Frank, I want to be happy for you," I said quietly.

"You should want to be happy for yourself," he said.

"Why? I-it doesn't matter for me, I don't matter at all," I said. "You're the one who deserves better than me so I want to be happier for you because you deserve someone who's so much better than me."

"Are you kidding me? You're so perfect," he said. "I wouldn't want anyone else but you. I fell for you, Gee, I fell for exactly the way you are and I wouldn't take that back for a single second."

"Really?" I asked and he nodded. "I-I'm Sorry about pushing you away I was just so scared and I didn't think you really wanted me and I didn't want to have my heart broken again."

"It's okay to be scared, it's new and new things are scary," he said.

I nodded softly, laying back against his chest. He kissed the top of my head and smiled.

"Is it okay with your mom if I stay the night here?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course," he said.

I smiled, yawning softly.

"Tired?" He asked.

"Yeah, I am," I mumbled. "Guess I just had a long emotional day or something."

"You don't need to defend yourself," Frank said.

He paused the movie and stood up. He handed me some pajama pants and I smiled as I changed into it. Frank turned off the lights and put the laptop onto one side of the bed, laying behind me on the other side so we could still watch the screen.

I closed my eyes, feeling my back pressed to Frank's chest. I listened to the movie playing as I felt myself falling asleep. I smiled as Frank ran his fingers through my hair.

When I woke up Frank wasn't in bed. Gentle light streamed in through the curtains and I yawned. Frank opened the door and came in, cuddling up with me in bed. I smiled softly as he gave me a soft kiss.

"I don't even care if you have morning breath, I still love kissing you," he mumbled.

I snorted, hitting his shoulder.

"My morning breath isn't that bad," I grumbled.

"It's not," he said. "I think everything about you is just so perfect."

I smiled softly, resting my head on his chest.

"I don't want ever get out of bed," I mumbled. "I wish I could just stay here with you forever and ever."

"I wish I could stay here with you too," he said.

"I have to pee though," I mumbled.

Frank chuckled softly and I stood up. I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth before coming back to cuddle with Frank again. I gave him a kiss and he smiled.

"Minty?" I asked.

"Yeah, It is," he said.

I smiled, holding Frank's hand.

"Do you have to go to church today?" I asked.

"Yeah, Do you want to come with us?" He asked.

"I-I'm not really religious," I said.

"That's okay, maybe having a religious figure or something would help you to feel better," he said. "I know it's not for everyone but sometimes having a more spiritual figure helps people."

"I...I don't know, I don't think that's really my thing," I said.

"Just one day and see how you feel about it," he said.

"Maybe one other day I can do that," I said.

"Alright," he said, kissing my forehead.

He got up and I watched him get changed into his black jeans, white button up and a tie. I smiled as he tied his in the mirror above his dresser.

I stood up, going over to him as I smiled. I grabbed his tie, pulling him closer. I gave him a kiss and he held my hips, pulling me closer. Frank gently pushed me back onto the bed, kissing me deeply.

"How long until you have to leave?" I mumbled against his lips.

"Too soon," he said.

He kissed my forehead and stood up.

"You can stay here if you want, we won't be gone for long," Frank offered.

"I don't know," I mumbled.

"It's alright with my mom, she doesn't really care," he said. "You can watch movies and you know where our food and stuff is. Just wait for me here and I promise we can cuddle all day long and we can eat ice cream and watch tv."

"That sounds perfect," I mumbled.

I smiled, giving him a soft kiss.

"Okay, so just hang out here and I promise I'll be home from church soon," he said.

I nodded my head and he gave me a kiss. Frank left and I sighed, curling up in his bed. I heard them drive away and I sighed. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. It smells like Frank.

That's weird.

But also so nice.

Okay, I think I need to stop smelling Frank's blankets because that sounds really creepy. But he also smells so nice.

"Oh my god, Gerard, stop being a fucking creep," I mumbled to myself. "He let's you stay in his house while he's at church, the least you could do is not do creepy shit."

I grabbed his laptop, turning it on to go to Netflix. I smiled as I turned on a show. Oh this time of year is the best, they always update their shows around around now.

I stayed like that for a while until Frank got back home. I smiled when he walked in and gave me a kiss.

"Did you eat yet?" Frank asked.

"No, I haven't," I said.

"Alright, I'll go get something for us, I'm pretty hungry too," he said. "How does ice cream and sandwiches sound?"

"Ice cream and sandwiches?" I asked with a small giggle.

"Not a good combination?" He asked and I giggled, shaking my head. "Alright, I'll get ice ice cream and cookies then."

"Oh man, I am gonna gain so much weight with how many sweets you keep giving me," I said.

"But yet you're still just so beautiful," Frank said.

I giggled as Frank left. He came back with ice cream and cookies. He took off his tie, curling up in bed with me.

"What are we watching?" He asked.

"The Office reruns," I said.

"Oh, perfect," Frank said.

He curled up under the blanket with me and smiled.

"So, How was your time here alone?" He asked.

"Well, I didn't do anything creepy," I said.

Frank smiled, giving me a kiss. The two of us curled up under the blanket, watching Netflix and eating until our stomachs practically burst.
