"So you like Gerard?" Mikey asked me.

Him and I were currently in his room, sprawled out on his floor and talking about random nonsense.

"Uh..."

"It's okay, he doesn't know," Mikey stopped, "yet" I could practically hear the smirk in his answer.

"'Yet'?" I turned my head to him and he did the same. His glasses were crooked which made me giggle.

"Yeah, you're gonna tell him," Mikey stood up, "right now."

"Pfft, yeah right." I scoffed. Mikey pulled me up from the floor and I glared at him. He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

I've been friends with Mikey ever since I moved into the house next door, which was about five years ago. Gerard and I are pretty close, but not as close as Mikey and I. All three of us go to the same school, and it makes it harder for me to control my 'crush' on Gerard because I see him everyday.

He's a senior, and Mikey and I are juniors, but we still see each other pretty often. Mikey and I take collage courses in some classes, as does Gerard, so that's why we see each other a lot. Also, we have lunch together, and Mikey makes sure Gerard and I are always next to each other.

Mikey's been giving Gerard small hints that I like him. I'm okay with that, because I can't get him all by myself.

Mikey groaned, "What d'you wanna do?"

"I dunno," I sat on his bed and ran a hand through my black fringe.

Our parents were on a double date tonight, so my mom made sure I came here. Last time I was left home alone was a disaster.

"Where's Gerard?" I asked. Mikey smirked before he called for Gerard.

A few seconds later, the door opened and there stood the boy I've come to like. Wow, that sounded cliche as shit. Whatever.

But there he stood, wearing nothing but boxers. His right hand was still on the doorknob and the other hand was on the wooden part where the door closes. He kind of looked worried... Mikey did kind of shriek his name.

"What's the matter?" Gerard breathed out. He looked at Mikey, and then his eyes traveled to me when Mikey didn't say anything. "Frank?"

"We're bored!" I whined and Gerard rolled his eyes. He ran a hand through his hair before he said he'd be back. "What the fuck, dude?" I turned to Mikey and he smirked.

"I wanted to see what you'd say," he smirked and looked at himself in his body sized mirror.

"What'd you expect me to say?" I stood next to him and looked at him through the mirror.

Gerard suddenly entered the room wearing jeans and his jacket and he had a backpack on his shoulders, and I prayed Mikey would keep quiet and not carry on our conversation.

"That you like him," he whispered in my ear before he walked over to his phone.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Gerard who was glancing back and forth between Mikey and I. Mikey told him not to look at him like that while he was doing something on his phone, so Gerard kept his eyes on me, holding a smirk on his face.

I swear, the Way's always have a smirk playing on their lips.

I blushed and jumped on Mikey who was sitting on his bed, still scrolling through his phone.

"Where we goin'?" I asked.

"I dunno-" Mikey started, but Gerard cut him off.

"Maybe the skate park?" He offered and I nodded, smiling hugely at him. He blushed a little and looked down at his feet.

"I wanna skate there," Mikey pushed me off of him and put his phone in his pocket. He walked over to his closet and grabbed his skate board. I told Mikey to get mines too.

"'kay," Gerard mumbled and turned around.

"I can't believe he's just coming with us," I laughed, "it looked like he was sleeping before you're ass woke him up."

"I tell you," Mikey whispered as we both walked down the stairs to the front door, "he likes you, too."

"Any of you two have money?" Gerard asked as he locked the door.

"Um..." I felt for my wallet, but I knew I didn't have it. I looked at Gerard and shook my head.

"Mikey, you can buy your own shit, I've got Frank." Gerard put his arm around my shoulder as we walked through the dark streets. I kept my skateboard under my arm on the side Gerard wasn't on.

I tensed up a little, like I always do when he does shit like this. I know it doesn't mean anything, but when he touches me in any sort of way, I either tense up or squirm away from him. But eventually though, I get comfortable in his arms.

On our way to the drug store, we talked about random shit like Mikey and I did early. Mikey made sure to skate on his skateboard slowly so he wasn't too far ahead. He even commented on Gerard always putting an arm around me, and he shot back with "he's so comfortable and lovable", so of course, I blushed, but I was glad it was dark out. Mikey 'aww'ed when Gerard said that and I giggled a little, but kept quiet.

We finally made it to the store and Mikey got himself a Monster and a bag of chips. Gerard asked what I wanted, so I just got a Monster and a bag of chips too. He smiled and got his stuff.

Before we knew it, we were sitting on the skating ramps, looking at the sky and eating (or drinking) our snacks.

"This is so much better than your room, Mikes," I giggled and breathed in the cool air. Mikey was lying down beneath mines and Gerard's feet, and him and I were leaning against the railings.

"Yeah, this is better than sleeping." Gerard laughed. We agreed and I leaned my head against Gerard's shoulder. I thought it was time I started making moves on him like he does with me. I heard him chuckled before he put an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

Mikey looked at his brother and sat up. Gerard and I brought our legs up so he was able to stand.

"I'm gonna go skate, I'll be sure not to disturb," Mikey put his snacks by mine and then skated off.

I guess it's just Gerard and I then. I don't know why I feel different like something's going to happen. Him and I have been left alone before, and sure I've felt a little nervous, but this time, I'm not. I'm not nervous at all. In fact, I feel so confident that I could kiss him right now.

"Mikey told me you liked me." Gerard said quietly.

"That little fucker!" I yelled without thinking. I looked at Gerard with big eyes and covered my mouth.

"Hah! So you do like me!" He cheered.

"Wha-? No..." My voice betrayed me and cracked. It always cracks when I'm lying. Everyone knows that about me.

Gerard raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"It's okay, Frankie, he didn't tell me."

"Then who did?"

"You." He giggled. I playfully slapped his arm and huffed. I scooted a little ways from him and crossed my arms, playfully pouting. I could be a good actor when I wanted to be, so he doesn't know I'm playing right now. "Oh, come on, Frankie, don't be mad."

"I'm not mad," I huffed and blew a small piece of fringe that fell in my face. I kept blowing on it, but it didn't move. Gerard lifted his hand and put the small piece of hair behind my ear.

"There you go." He said quietly. I looked at him and admired his face. There was a big street lamp on the sidewalk, but Gerard's back was facing it, so his face was dark while mine was in full light.

"Fine," I finally said and looked away.

"'Fine' what?" He asked.

"'Fine', I love you, that's what." My eyes glanced over at Mikey who was skateboarding.

"Oh..." Gerard whispered.

"Yeah, 'oh'." I mumbled.

Mikey was bullshitting me. I know it. Because if he wasn't, I'd guarantee you Gerard would've said something different than 'oh'. Like, who says that to someone who just confessed their love for the other? Someone without the same feelings, that's who. But whatever, as they say "there are other fish in the sea". I guess I'll have to see if there are fish who're willing to be with me.

Or... I'm just overreacting and Gerard is lost of words because he loves me too and he doesn't know if right now's the time to confess his undying love to me?...

Unlikely.

I stood up and wiped my pants with my hands and looked down at Gerard who was looking down at his lap. I rolled my eyes, took hold of my skateboard and skated towards Mikey.

"What's up?" He asked. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Mikey stopped skating, almost making me crash into him. I screamed and jumped off the board, glaring at Mikey. He giggled and shrugged, muttering an apology.

"Nothing," I lied and sat down on my board, looking in the direction where Gerard was. He had his knees up and it looked like he was looking at something on them. He kept looking back up at us and looking down.

"What'd he do?" Mikey sat next me and looked towards his brother.

"Nothing." This time, I wasn't lying. He basically did nothing when I told him. But hey, that's his fault; he was the one who brought up the conversation.

"That can mean a lot of things, man." Mikey sighed.

"He did nothing." I said quietly.

"Damn..."

I laughed, "Yeah."

"You ready to head back?" He asked maybe after an hour of him and I talking. I muttered a 'yeah', and soon, we were on our way back home.

"Thanks for the chips and drink, by the way..." I thanked Gerard when we got back to their house. Of course I thanked him, I'm not going to ignore him, he's my best friend.

"Yeah- you're welcome." He said quietly. I have him a small smile and he returned it.

Mikey and I walked up to his room together and I immediately plopped down on his bed. He chuckled and laid next to me. His bed was big enough so we both were able to lay in it without it being awkward.

"I'm tired..." Mikey mumbled and I agreed.

We both changed into our night clothes and climbed into the bed. Mikey slept by the wall and I stayed on the spot closest to the door.

"Night." Mikey said.

"Night." I said back.

---

I woke up with someone poking my cheek. I groaned and was shushed by the person.

"Frank..." I heard Gerard whisper. I opened my eyes and saw that it was still dark out. It was probably only three o'clock. We came back at midnight and I know I wasn't sleeping for long.

"Go away," I swatted at Gerard and turned around so I was facing Mikey.

"C'mon, I need to do something." Gerard begged.

"Then go fucking do it."

"No," he quietly laughed, "you're the thing I need to do- wait, that sounded fucking wrong on so many levels."

"Ya think?" I turned back around and rubbed my eyes.

"Just- please?" He pleaded and I let out a long sigh. Then an idea came up in my mind.

I made grabby hands and whined. Gerard looked at me like I was crazy. Once he knew I wasn't fucking around, he sighed and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and wrapped my arms around his neck. I buried my face in his neck as he walked to the basement, where his room was. I had to hold myself back, and make sure I didn't just kiss his neck. It's right there... I want to mark it and kiss all over him, but I can't.

He set me down on his bed and I immediately covered myself in his blankets and laid down.

"No, Frank- I want to talk." Gerard sat next to me.

"That's cool." I mumbled.

"I get it, you're mad-"

I sat up and raised my eyebrows.

"If I were mad would I've come down here with you?" I asked and he looked down. I smirked and he shook his head.

"Listen though, I'm sorry for not saying anything else. I feel bad for leaving you like that. I just didn't know how to say it back. Saying 'I love you too' is too mainstream, for me. I wanted to actually prove it to you and not just in words-"

"Ger-"

"Let me finish first, I'm not done," he looked at me and I nodded, "When we came back, you and Mikes went to sleep, but I did something else." Gerard took out his sketchbook and flipped a few pages before he landed on one. He hesitated before he handed me the book.

I looked over the drawing and smiled. It was of Mikey and I at the skate park, and even though it was dark, I was able to make out the faces. I was smiling in the picture and Mikey had on his famous poker face.

So that's why he brought that backpack...

I looked up at Gerard and he told me to flip the page. I flipped it and read the letter that was written in almost perfect cursive.

'Frank,

  You brought life back into my brother and myself. You're the light in my life and I need you to know that you're what I'm living for. You're also what Mikey's living for, trust me, I know. You brought Mikey and I closer to each other. Hell, you brought my whole family close to each other, and I love you for that. You're always happy, never mad or sad. You love everything and everything loves you. On a rainy day, you still make it look beautiful.

When I'm down, you make me feel beautiful. You showed Mikey and I how much we're worth, and I want to return that feeling. I want to make you feel beautiful and loved, because you are. You're loved so much, and you're absolutely beautiful. You know I was never good with words, so I'm surprised I'm actually writing this. But I know that if I were to say it, I would fall over my words and most likely fuck something up. Like I did earlier when you confessed to me that you love me.

'Oh.' That's all I said... And holy shit that was a dick move. I should've known better. I know you have a sensitive heart, but you never show your weaknesses. What you don't know is that I'm able to see through you, Frank. I know what you're scared of, I know what makes you mad, sad, and happy. And I know that I make you happy, and I know that you make me happy.

So that's why I'm going to ask something that will change us forever...

Love,

Gerard'

I looked back up at Gerard with big eyes and he looked at me with same way. I put the book to the side and scooted closer to him. He took my hands in his, all without breaking eye contact. Gerard's small lamp was on, so it only lit up a section of the room, but that was okay, it made it romantic.

"Frank?" Gerard whispered.

"Yeah?" I whispered back.

"Be mine?" He asked, hopefully. I smiled and nodded. Gerard smiled too and pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked at him. His eyes flickered to my lips and then back to my eyes. My own his flickered to his lips and they stayed there, until my eyes closed shut and I closed the gap between Gerard and I, and I kissed him.

He immediately kissed back, and he gently laid me on the bed. My head softly hit his pillow and Gerard climbed on top of me. My hands moved to his hair, while he leaned on his elbows, making our chests touch. He tilted his head to the side and gave me access to his neck.

Finally, I thought, I could now make out with his neck. I marked it up and in that time, both of our shirts were off and soon enough, we were left in our boxers. Gerard kissed all over my chest and trailed his tongue on the few tattoos I had on my chest. I moaned and he rocked his hips against mine, making me moan once more. But I wasn't the only one making those noises; Gerard was too.

His lips moved to my neck and he began to suck. I closed my eyes and let out a content sigh. Gerard kissed the mark he made on my scorpion tattoo before moved so he was looking at me, right in the eye.

"Can we?" He asked and I nodded.

He knows I'm a virgin and I know he is too. But I'm ready to lose it, especially if it's to him.

Gerard smiled before he got up and got something from his drawer.

"We're both virgins so I'm sure we won't need a condom." Gerard said after he came back over to me. I agreed and he slowly took off his boxers. I glared at him and he giggled.

"Gerard! " I whined and he finally took them off. I stared at him with big eyes and my mouth watered because holy fuck he was huge. He smirked and asked if he could take mine off. I nodded and lifted my hips so he could take them off easier.

I then felt the cold hair hit my and I closed my eyes.

Both Gerard and I were pretty hard by now, so we wouldn't have to do anything to get us hard, but Gerard decided against that because I felt his warm mouth around me.

I've had some great blowjobs before, but holy mother of god, Gerard's mouth felt the best.

I moaned and took hold of his hair, and tugged on it a little. He moaned around my dick and I squeezed my eyes shut. I guess I didn't see or hear Gerard squeeze lube on his fingers because I felt his first finger push inside me. He was still sucking me off and if he kept on going like this, I knew I was going to be done.

"Gerard..." I whined and he moaned, moving his finger in and out. "Another..."

Gerard stopped sucking me and put in another finger. I yelped at the slight burn but he moved up so he was face to face with me. Gerard muttered comforting, but dirty words in my ear. He nibbled on my earlobe as he added his last finger.

Once I was all ready with that, I told him and he lubed himself up. He lined himself up and asked if I was ready. I nodded and he slowly pushed in.

Tears slowly fell down the side of my face, but Gerard was there to kiss them away.

"It's okay..." He whispered and kissed me. He was in all the way, and he only moved a little. Soon I was used to it and I told him to move. Gerard gladly complied and started moving slowly.

I told him to go faster and then again, he complied. Moans and curses flooded the room.

I was happy his parents' room was next to Mikey's so they would barely be able to hear anything. Especially with Donald's snores.

I wrapped my legs around Gerard and scratched at his back. He moaned and I tilted my head to the side, letting Gerard do whatever he wanted with my neck. He softly bit down on my neck and I moaned.

His thrusts became a little more sloppy and I knew he was getting close.

"F-Frank..." He moaned and kissed my lips. I suddenly came without being touched and a few trusts later, Gerard came too, moaning, "I love you too."

He pulled out, still leaning over me and looked down at me. I lazily smiled and he returned it. Gerard then got up and wiped my stomach with some tissues he had.

"Thanks." I laughed.

"Don't want you to be all sticky when we wake up." He threw the tissues away and climbed into the bed next to me.

"You want me to sleep in the same bed as you?" I asked and he nodded.

"Where else would you sleep?" He held his head up with his arm and looked at me.

"I dunno," I shrugged, "I thought I was gonna go back up to Mikey's. But I'd rather stay here."

I kissed his lips after he turned off his lamp. He pulled me close to him and kissed the top of my head. I had my back facing his chest, while we were still naked, but I was comfy as fuck.

I've never cuddled with someone like this.

"We're so doing this tomorrow night." Gerard mumbled against my head and I giggled.

"Good."
