CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
It's been a week since you've last seen Frank, your second date got canceled and it was now around 2 am, and you couldn't sleep.
You spent the last 30 minutes twisting and turning, trying to sleep until you just gave up completely, and just laid there. Staring up the ceiling, thinking about things.
One of those things, were about your relationship with Frank.
It felt like it was moving too fast, for you anyway.
You only had one date with him, of course you liked him, but what if it is just a silly little crush? What if you didn't love him? Do you love him? Of course you do, but what if you don't? What if you're lying to yourself? What if... You're only saying you like him is because it's been a while since you had someone.
You sighed, stopping yourself from thinking about negative things. This always happens, you start to doubt things in the middle of the night.
Of course when something good happens, you have to overthink everything.
But you didn't listen to those thoughts, Frank made you feel safe and loved, and you like it when he kisses you.
Glancing at your phone, it read
5:58 am...
You got up, deciding to start your day early.
Making yourself breakfast and coffee, you took a shower after eating.
It's been a while since your boss contacted you about this final mission. You sighed, shuddering as you don't know when it'll happen.
Seeing as it was very early in the morning, Frank would surely be still be asleep. But that didn't stop you from texting him, just venting out your thoughts and suddenly getting a reply.
What the...?

Setting your phone down, you wondered what the kids were up to. Their finals week already ended... Ah... It hit you, you didn't tell them you already moved out. You face palmed, going through your phone for any messages from them..
And nothing...?
There were no messages from them, huh... They must still be busy with something.
You sighed, resting your head on the kitchen island.
Just as you were drifting off to sleep, a knock woke you up. Standing up abruptly, rubbing your eyes as you welcomed Frank in.
You noticed he was wearing his mask, which is weird.
You made a face at him, clearly you were confused.
"Why are you wearing your mask?"
He exhaled, staying silent for a moment.
"Well?"
Crossing your arms, he sighed and took it off.
He looked horrible, he had bags under his eyes. Probably haven't sleep for days, you looked at him.
"Have you been sleeping well?"
He smiled, shaking his head.
You closed the door, taking his hand in yours and leading him into your room.
"Woah, if you wanted to get me in bed, you could've asked."
He smirked, as you rolled your eyes.
"Oh, hush Frank."
Getting yourself in bed, Frank followed you in.
Covering the both of you with the blanket, silence enveloped the both of you.
Facing you, he wrapped his arms around your waist, his face by your chest.
He looked up, meeting your eyes, as your arms wrapped around him.
"Is this okay?"
He whispered, and you nodded.
Hearing nothing but his soft breathing, he spoke.
"Tell me what you had thought of."
"Yeah.. I just.."
Playing with his hair, you thought of how to say it.
Swallowing, you spoke again.
"I... I'm not sure if I.. Actually like you.."
Silence.
No one spoke a word after what you said, waiting for his response, you looked down.
He hugged you tighter, his eyes meeting yours.
"Well... What makes you say that?"
He asked in a quiet tone.
"What if I'm liking you because I'm just lonely...?"
You answered, as he smiled softly.
"Well, I... I know that I really like you, Y/N..."
He trailed off,
"And you did say you like me..."
He continued,
"Don't tell me it was a lie..?"
His voice cracked, making you shake your head frantically.
"No, of course not Frank... I do like you, I can feel it. But..."
Pulling you down, he kissed your lips.
"No buts... If you're sure and know you do like me, then you shouldn't doubt it. It took me a long time to finally accept it myself that I like you.."
He confessed, chuckling.
You smiled at him, brushing his hair off his face.
"Alright Frank. I won't doubt my feelings for you."
He grinned, burying his face at the crook of your neck, whispering.
"You'll never not love me, Y/N."
Rolling your eyes at his statement, he went silent. You could hear his soft breathing, assuming he fell asleep.
But then he whispered,
"I haven't slept well in days..."
You scoffed,
"I can tell..."
Running your hands through his hair, you asked him why.
"Why haven't you been sleeping well?"
He rubbed his face against you, laughing silently as you smacked him softly.
"Work has been rough..."
Trailing off, he yawned.
"I've been working over time... And I'm sorry we didn't go somewhere last weekend."
He said, clearly pouting. You smiled, reassuring him it was fine and there was always next time.
"Next time, Frank.. Just sleep right now, your mental health is much more important than just some date."
He looked up, looking like a lost puppy. You held back the urge to squeal.
"It's not just some date..."
He smiled,
"It's a date with you, Y/N."
His face went back into the crook of your neck. You could hear his silent snore and assumed he actually fell asleep. Closing your eyes, hoping to get some sleep.
You couldn't shake the feeling that this was right.
With Frank next to you, and waking up next to Frank.
Hugging him tighter, you drifted off to sleep.
Fluttering your eyes open, you found yourself entangled with Frank. His legs between yours and his arms loosely around your waist, his chest rising and falling from breathing.
Putting your hand on his cheek, you looked at the bags under his eyes. It was clear he lacked sleep, and probably won't wake up for the next few hours, you sighed.
Slowly pulling Frank off you, you got up and used the restroom. Relieving yourself, you went out to see Frank begin to wake up.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked around the room to see you seated on the edge of the bed, right next to him.
"Hello.."
He yawned, grabbing you and pulling you down.
"I just got up..! Frank--"
He murmured something into your ear, but he was clearly so tired because you didn't understand anything.
"... What..?"
He sighed, his breath going down your neck.
"I said..."
His voice sounded groggy and deeper. Making your cheeks be a light shade of pink, he continued.
"You're amazing."
Laughing soflty, you questioned him.
"Wh- What..? Are you okay?"
Teasing him as he pulled you closer. His leg going between yours, he kissed your shoulders.
"You're amazing too, Frank.."
You could feel him smile against your skin, also making you smile.
Wrapping is hand around yours, he said,
"Just stay in bed with me..."
"Fine..."
