"This is my last day guys."

The class didnt say anything for a maximum of two seconds before they exploded with questions.

"Okay calm down. I'm leaving for two years because I'm serving in the army. Everyone who does music with me will have a substitute for the next couple of years."

"Why did you join the army?"

"I have no idea very honestly. I know you all are gonna miss me." Frank smirked.

Gerard walked up next to him. "Pushing your luck a little there Frankie."

The smaller man looked up at the older and frowned. Of which his lover just smiled cheerily and got on with the form as Frank sat back down.

Frank spent the first few lessons looking over his classes. Thinking of who were bitches and who he could stand. There were many of the first and not many of the second.

Gerard had been constantly smiling at him whenever he got the chance. Frank recorded some of his music at lunch, smiling as he mixed it during the next lesson. Changing sound balances and such.

When the day was over, Frank and Gerard went home, cuddling on the sofa until late at night.

"I love you." Frank whispered.

"I love you too beautiful. I want you near me. I want to be here to protect you."

"I'm so sorry, I have to do this. You know I do."

"Yeah I know. But I wish you didn't."

Frank didn't say anything in reply, just moved closer.

"Okay but sometimes you have to wear the uniform during sex." Gerard said randomly.

"Of course baby." Frank giggled.

It was a day before Frank was meant to leave and Gerard had stayed on his arm constantly. Not letting him go. Frank didn't mind. He liked to be babied by the taller man. But he was happy that soon he would have his own career and be able to defend himself.

"I love you." Gerard said. "Make sure you eat well and if it seems dangerous then be careful. Don't get shot please."

"Okay princess. I'll be back before you know it. This is only the training part I'll be back in a few months."

"But can't you just stay here?" Gerard begged.

"Baby, I love you. I really do. But this is gonna wipe me of feeling so violated."

"I know. I want you to be happy. Just come back to me. Promise you'll come back to me."

"I promise I'll come home." Frank giggled at Gerard.

Frank's first day at the boot camp training center was hard. He was the smallest there, so it wasn't a surprise that he was slower than everyone else. This made the Sargent make him do more laps than everyone else.

As soon as the day of basic fitness was over, they were assigned a cabin. Everyone was tired after the first day. Everyone passed out as soon as there heads hit the pillow.

"Morning sleepyhead." Was the first thing shouted at him.

Well it was shouted at the entire cabin, making a few people jump and fall out of bed. One of those people was Frank.

Today they were going to learn how to shoot. Frank new how to shoot a little. Living on the streets sometimes had its fun. Surprisingly, the coach had congratulated him on nearly hitting the target everytime.

"How did you learn to fire a pistol?"

"I used to live on the streets sir." Frank replied.

"Used to?" The Sargent replied. "The army won't give you enough to buy a house."

"I live with my partner now." Frank answered.

The Sargent nodded, letting Frank get on with the shooting range. Then it was back to physical fitness. Frank's legs and arms were still tired from the previous day and he found himself getting extra laps again.

Then the food there was awful although edible. Nobody cared at that point. You could take it or leave it.

By the end of the first week, 7 people in his cabin had gone home. Some of them were demanded by the Sargent and some just couldn't handle it.

"Why do you want to be in the army?" The Sargent asked the person next to Frank.

"I want to serve our country."

"Bullshit. Why did you join the army?"

"Because I wanted to achieve something and have my family be proud of me."

"I can believe that." The Sargent smiled.

Frank had discovered he was a big fan of the truth. He said what was on his mind and made others do the same.

"Why do you want to be in the army Iero?"

"To be able to look after myself." Frank said back.

It was then when it started raining. It hadn't rained in any of the days that they had been there. A few people sighed at a relief from the dry stale air. Frank just looked forwards.

After everyone had said why they joined the army, they had to do fitness. They were all tired and the Sargent pushed them harder. There wasn't a day that went by that Frank hadn't gotten extra laps. Apart from the one rest day they had.

The second week rolled past and Frank had a few friends and he was getting the hang of all the exercise. At the moment he was waiting for the phone to be free so he could talk to Gerard. It was finally his alloted time and he couldn't be happier.

"Hey baby." Frank squeaked when he had pressed in Gerards number.

"Frankie." He heard gerard scream from the other side. "How are you princess?"

"Tired. The Sargent has me doing extra laps every day."

"Tired enough to come home?"

"Hey listen, you are the one who wanted my bod to be hot."

"I did not say that."

"You did at one point I'm sure. I miss you." His voice changed to be more sincere.

"I miss you too." Gerard replied. "I miss waking up to you and I miss how you speak, I miss how you smell and I miss you."

"Gerard, you're my everything. I'll be home soon. Just hold on for me, and I know you're cuddling my shirt." Frank giggled.

"And I know you only wear my coat."

"You're a dork. How are you baby?" Frank asked.

"I'm good. I'm missing you, but I'm keeping myself busy."

"You are only allowed 5 minuets a day of missing me. That's it okay."

"What abiut you."

"I only get 5 minuets a day to myself pretty boy."

"Fair point. Does anyone know that you're gay?" Gerard questioned.

"I haven't tried to hide it. But I don't think anyone has plainly thought so. I mean nobody has asked me. And you know I say partner. But I would mind showing you off."

"You're such a flirt."

"You love it baby."

"You know I do."

"Iero, 10 mins. "

"I have ten minuets before I have to say goodbye baby."

"aweeee. Don't go." Gerard begged.

"Gee honey. You're my entire heart. I'll always be there with you." Frank mumbled softly.

"Yeah okay. You're perfect Mr Iero."

"Oh am I? I though Mr way was the most perfect."

"Hmm maybe." Gerard giggled.

"I have to go in like a minuet so I'm going to spend the next minuet saying I love you over and over again into the reviver."

Gerard giggled and Frank kept his promise until the person behind him coughed and the phone cut out. Time up. Frank frowned and hung up the phone. Gerard was on the other end, holding his phone to his chest.

" Who did you phone Iero?" one of Frank's friends Pete asked.

"My partner." Frank replied sitting down next to him.

"What she like? She must be a lucky girl."

"I'm the lucky one to have him." Frank replied.

"You're gay?" Pete asked.

"When have I tried at all to deny that?"

"Nah its fine, I'm bi." Pete said.

Frank nodded, opening his mouth to say something else when the Sargent declared it was time for exercise. Frank and Pete groaned. It was tipping it down with rain and they knew how many people would fall over.

Everyone got ready for the run, standing at the beginning. Everyone set off at the same time, running quickly on the rain to get it over with. Frank surprisingly didn't fall over on the first lap. Or the second. It was the third that he did, falling behind quite a few people. He didn't end up last but everyone that fell over had to do another lap depending on how many times they fell.

When all of the running and weights and everything was over. Everyone headed to the showers.

"Hey Iero." Someone shouted. "Heard you're a fag wanna fuck?"

"Literally what are you in, high school. I have a boyfriend you dipshit." Frank replied.

Frank wrapped his towel around himself. Walking towards the exit.

"But if you really want to fuck someone I suggest yourself." Frank called over his shoulder before going to his things and getting changed.

There was one shower in every cabin and about 30 people in one cabin. It was a tight fit but most of the people were close with eachother.

A month had finally rolled past and Frank hadn't been harassed since he had punched someone in the face. The Sargent had congratulated him instead of shouting.

"That's the kind of passion we need in the army. To stand up for what we believe in." He said.

Gerard had giggled at that story though the phone. Making Frank smile at the noise. Frank was purposely trying to make Gerard giggle.

"Hey Iero. Sarge said that you were most likely on the phone to your boyfriend and so he told me to apologise to them."

"Gerard ya know that guy who I punched he wants to say sorry to you." I said.

"Ask him if he knows that I'm a bigger bitch than you."

"He told me to ask you if you knew that he was a bigger bitch than me?"

"What?"

"Pass the phone over." Gerard said.

Frank complied, instantly missing Gerards voice. The other man laughed at something that Gerard said, making Frank even more sad.

"He said he knew you would be sad by now so here you go." The guy said passing the phone back.

"Gerard, when I get home I'm going to ruin you."

"I'm counting on it baby." Gerard purred back.

"Why are you so amazing? I miss your face."

"Miss you too honey."

Two months had passed and Frank was exhausted. But he was getting better. He had a cold for a few days but he kept on going. Thankfully, he didn't have to do any extra laps.

He had gained a lot of muscle mass and was happy with how he looked. He knew Gerard loved him as he was but he couldn't wait for Gerard to see him.

Frank had even befriended some of the girls. Which for some reason, seemed taboo withing the males. Its like they were scared of them. But when the girls realised that Frank was gay and wasnt going to try and rape them, they were nice.

They had told him about they have been told to be extra cold so that you don't get raped. Apparently it happens a lot in the army, for females.

"You just gotta be really careful." One of his friends Jamia said.

"Yeah I know. But seriously, getting raped is awful. I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone. So why is it happening in a place where people are supposed to be celebrating there country. How is that anything to be proud of?"

"You sound like you talk from experience?" Jamia noticed.

Frank hung his head low before responding. "Yeah I do. It's not right."

"Hey but tell me about this sexy boyfriend." She said changing the topic.

"Oh Gerard. He's perfect in every way. He got me the job at the school and he gave me a place to stay and he's so beautiful. He's an artist really. His hands are so soft and you should see how he draws, it's just so overwhelming. He's breathtaking. I'm so happy he's mine." Frank said dreamily.

Jamia giggled as they spoke more about Frank's love life. Constantly being referred to as a school girl with her first boyfriend came along a lot. Frank blushing at that. He was so happy that he could show of how proud he was of Gerard.

The third month passed and Frank was getting a lot better at the physical exercise. Now volenteering to do extra laps. He wasn't coming in last but he had gotten so used to being last that he wanted to push himself.

He was excited to go home and see Gerard. The months at the camp feeling like eternity. But he'd been counting down the days.

A forth month was coming to a close and Frank was excited to say the least. So many others had smiles on there faces. Even the Sargent.

The next day was the deciding of who actually got into the army. Kinda to see who was worthy. Frank hoped he had been enough and he had. Getting a pat on the back in congrats from the srgent and loads from his friends.

The next day he got to go home. When he would get to Belleville, Gerard would be at work. He didn't know the exact date he was coming home.

Frank wanted to surprise him at work. So while he was still in his uniform, he got a cab to outside of the school. Going inside and smiling at the receptionist who recognised him and told him the room Gerard was in.

Frank quickly found it. Smiling as he opened the door after noticing that Gerard wasn't teaching.

"Mr Way I think I'm a bit late." Frank said, walking over to the desk.

Gerard head flipped up, a massive grin on it and he lunged at the smaller man. Frank captured him, able to stay upright.

"Oh my fuck did you turn into a rock?" Gerard groaned, rubbing his chest.

"No hey babe, I'm so glad you're back. Or maybe hey, you look really hot."

"Right, you're the hottest rock I've seen." Gerard giggled. "Fuck you're in uniform."

"Want to ask Brendon for the day off."

"Already taken care of." A voice said from beind them. "Glad to see you're back. Have fun you two."

Frank picked Gerard up, giving a quick nod to Brendon before dragging Gerard to the parking lot.

As soon as they got through the door, frank was pushed against it.

"Come on. Flex once." Gerard moaned.

Gerard moaned louder when frank did. Grabbing his bicep and just melting into frank.

"Take me. In any and every way possible." Gerard moaned.

"You're wish is my command." Frank smirked.
