Gerard's POV:

"Frank?"

He was just as shocked to see me as I was of him.

"Y-you knew Manny?" He asked. "Or someone else?"

"Manny was one of my best friends back in middle school. I beat up some shitheads one time and earned my reputation... he was being bullied and so the group and I stood up for him... how do you know him?" I explained.

"We used to be best friends. I found him when he died. Me and jamia were so torn up... But wait, if your friends defended Manny, why do they bully kids now?"

"I don't know. I need to talk to them."

"Well I was gonna head to the cafe. Wanna some with?" He asked. I internally screamed.

"Sure."

With that, he nodded and we headed to the local cafe.

***

We burst into laughter.

"No no no no. The funniest part was when he punched the locker." Frank giggled. Ah, that giggle was something I could get used to.

Wait, Gerard, stop. You can't risk your neck.

I shook my head. "No, sugar, the best was smartass comment you made. God that was GOLD!" He sighed.

"Moving on..." He turned bright red. "Now, I know I-I've only k- know you a short time... b-but I think I really l-like you, Gerard." He looked down, clearly embarrassed and afraid.

I like him too, but I don't want either of is to get hurt- emotionally, mentally, of physically for that matter.

I went and sat beside him and wrapped an arm around him. "Hey, look at me..." he hesitantly looked at me. (A/n: hehe you know you love me!)

"Frank, I like you to. But I don't want either of us getting hurt if the guys find out. But so you wanna I don't know, date?" Now, it was my turn to become a tomato With a sunburn.

His face visibly lit up. "Yeah... sure awesome ok!"

I smiled and leaned in. He met me half way and we shared a sweet, gentle but passionate kiss.

We pulled away and erupted into a fit of giggles.

***

We sat there for another hour or two.

I checked the time and we walked home.

I was gonna introduce frank as my boyfriend to Mikey... wow.

We walk into the house and down to my room. It was dark down there.

Flipping on the switch, and turning around, I almost had a heart attack.

My mother was sitting in my desk chair.

Frank was standing at the bottom of the stairs. I felt bad do him. This was a very awkward situation.

"Where have you been?" She snapped. Frank flinched. But I stood my ground. This bitch was not going to ruin my day.

"I was out with my boyfriend. Yea, I'm gay."

She glared at me. "My son is gay?" I nodded.

She got up and was about to beat the shit out of me when Frank got between us and she hit him.

"Dickhead get out of my way! I'm trying to fix my son." She screeched. His cheek was bright red in the shape of a hand print and it was cut from her ring.

"Sorry bitch, you can't fix him because he's not broken." She almost slapped him again when I pushed her out of the way.

I had tears in my eyes at this point.

"GET OUT! You have no fucking right to come in here like you own the place and try and 'Fix' me. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" She actually looked scared.

"If you don't accept that I'm gay, then you can get your ass back in the car and leave. Mikey and I have dad. And your mother is dead. Yeah, you missed the funeral because you and your drink ass were out getting laid by some shitfaced asshole because you were mad. Am I right?" I was seething mad.

She didn't answer. She simply got up and stormed up the stairs and a minute later, I heard the door slam and the car drive away.

I broke down. Frank wrapped his arms around me and walked me to the couch. We sat down and I sobbed onto his shoulder. Mikey practically skipped all of the steps and was down here with a metal bat.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" he saw me and frank on the couch.

"What... what happened?" He came and sat down on my other side.

I took a deep breath.

"Mom was down here when Frank and I walked in. She accidentally slapped him and she got mad at me because I told that... Mikey I'm gay. She got mad and I yelled at her. And she left." He was furious. Oh no... I hope he's not mad at me...

"That bitch! Are you ok, gee?" I nodded.

"Frank and I are dating. That's why mother is mad at me. You know she is a flaming bitchy homophobic ass, right?" He nodded and have me a hug. "Gee?" "Hmm?" "I'm gay too."

I pulled away and smiled. "Awesome! Now we are the gay ways." He laughed.

He said "See ya later" and went back up to his room.

Frank and I went and sat on my bed. I gave him a small kiss. "You know this isn't your fault, right?" He nodded. He was still bleeding. "How about we get that cut cleaned up?" "Sure."

I took his hand and lead him into my bathroom and picked him up. He squealed and I sat him on the counter. I smirked.

His eyes widened when I pulled out the hydrogen peroxide. "Is this gonna sting?" He mumbled nervously.

"Yeah, sorry sugar." I put a small kiss to his lips and pulled away, smiling apologetically. He nodded and I put the damp cotton ball up to his cheek.

When I pressed it up to the tiny cut, he inhaled sharply. I cleaned the cut and gave it a kiss. He smiled.

"Wanna go grab some snacks from the store? We could have a movie night?"

He nodded and I went to go get Mikey and he went to put his jacket.

A/n: hey guys... please don't hate me...

Mikey's POV:

Gerard and frank were telling me what happened at school today.

"And then he went to punch me and I ducked. Gee and I booked it and Josh ended up-" Frank said and then they said together, "Screaming 'FUCK' and punching his locker!"

We all laughed.

But as we went it cross the street to go to our side, a truck came barreling down it. Gerard screamed "MOVE!!" I jumped to the side and I think he pushed frank out of the way.

But I don't think he got out of the path of the speeding vehicle...
