Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours

"Take a seat please, Frank." Mrs. Craven said pulling the boy from his thoughts. "Next to Gerard, we're turning in our projects tomorrow."

How convenient, Frank thought.

He sat down next ti the rather emo looking Gee, with his black hair slightly greasy and no nervous smile of grin.

"Hey, Gee." Frank said.

"H-Hey." Gerard stuttered a bit. His voice was surprisingly a bit lower and more sad. Frank knew right away that he wasn't in his head space, the signs were obvious.

"So. . ." Frank said intertwining his fingers from each hand on the table. he had no fucking idea how to start this, though he knew it had to be done. How do you even bring somthing like this up? "So. . . you're fucking other guys now huh? That's cool."

"Gee, We need to talk."

An uncomfortable silence had fallen over them. The tension was so thick that Frank felt he might choke on it. He already felt like gagging when he noticed the bruises on Gerard's perfect skin caused by Bert's disgusting mouth. His wrists were also red and abused, he tried to hide the markings with his baggy sweater but it didn't work. At leats not for Frank. Frank knew, he alwsys did.

"right now?" Gerard asked in a small whinny voice.

"Yes, Gerard." Frank said sternly shocking himself and Gee. He hadn't meant to sound so bitter and annoyed but he couldn't get the image of Gerard lying in his giant princess moaning and arching his back for Bert. Making the noise and cries that were ment only for Frank. Begging Bert to let him cum. Frank tried to stop thinking but it was impossible when your mind and heart belonged to one person.

Gerard whimpered and chewed on his lip. He looked down and furiously blinked trying to stop the tears that were collecting to stop.

"I'm so sorry, Gee please don't cry baby."
Frank said noticing his careless mistake. Frank got up from his seat and kneeled on the floor right under Gerards's face that he was trying to hide by holding his head down. Frank brought up a hand and whipped away a tear that had fallen. "baby. . ."

Gerard had already prepared himself when the phonecall with Frank and Bert ended. He knew it was going to happen soon but not now.

Frank was gonna leave him.

The best thing that ever happend to Gerard was gonna be taken away from him because of Bert's mistake. But that's all it was right? A mistake. He and Bert had talked about what happened later. They had decided that Bert had anger issues that caused him to act out. "Yeah, Gee that's it. I've got angry issues I'll get counseling or some shit real soon." Bert had said while Gerard nodded and tried not to cry again. He had brought his hand up and grazed over Gerard's bottom lip as it quivered in fear. Gerard found himself being pretty scared around his best friend.

"Gee, baby, darling, we- we really gotta talk l-like now." Frank said holding side of Gee's delicate face with his hand.

He always looked so fragile when he was flushed with his pink stained cheeks and the way his lips got all rosey and swollen. He loved when they were like that. He wanted to kiss them.

and so he did.

He got up on once knee and brought his face to Gerard's. Gerard finally brought his eyes up from the floor to meet with Frank's soft green onces. They stayed like that for a while, inhaling eachothers intoxicating breaths before Frank leaned up and connected their eager mouths. Frank sucked Gerards bottom lip into him moth slowly, dragging his teeth over the delicate flesh.

"Mr. Iero, Mr. Way." Mrs. Craven said smirking.

Frank looked up to see her standing right behind them. He shrugged innocently and smiled while Gerard shyly hid his face in Frank's chest.

"No p.d.a. in my classroom please?" She aksed giggling, causing her curly hair to bounce a bit.

"Sorry, Mrs. Craven." Gerard whispered.

"That's alright, Gee." She noticed the tear stains on Franks shirt when Gerard lifted his head. "Frankie, I think you two might need a pass this period yeah?"

Frank nodded and mouthed a "thank you" before taking Gerard's hand gently and walking him to the hallway.

"Gerard, you've really got some explaining to do." Frank said trying his hardest to keep his hands to himself for now.

"I-I I dunno. . ." Gerard shrugged. "What do you want me to tell you?"

Frank snickered. He really didn't wanna get mad right now.

"Well um start with what happened before church." Frank said calmly.

"I dunno alot happened before church." Gerard mumbled.

Frank looked up at Gerard who was looking at the floor shifting his weight from foot to foot. Like this was some kinda game or somthing. Like this wasn't the bigest relationship that he's ever had.

"Gerard what the hell is your problem?" Frank snaped. He wasnt yelling though. Just firmly talking. "Did you and Bert fuck or n-not?" Frank asked. His voice cracked unexpectedly ehen he was hit witha wave of emotion from whatbhe just said.

Gerard shrugged. Did he and Bert fuck? Well the simple answer was no, but this wasn't so simple was it? No, Bert had never physically put hus dick inside Gerard but alot of other things happened. Gerard of course didn't know the difference between what they did and "fucking."

"No?" Gerard said unsurly. He automatically regretted his tone after seeing Franks expression. "Ye-s?"

"Gee!" Frank squealed. "Do you understand what I'm asking you? Please don't lie to me just answer me. Did you and Bert have sex?" He asked again.

Gerard sighed, though it came out as more of a whimper of confusion. How was he supposed to tell the truth when he wasn't even sure what the truth was?

"Yes. . . I did." Gerard said looking down at his still painted finger nails.

Frank felt sick.

He already thought it was true, but that was just his mind preparing him for the worst possible situation. Now that he knew that it was true, that sweet innocent Gerard who he had trusted with his life had cheated on him he wasn't sure what to do. He didn't really have it in him to leave Gerard, but what if that was what Gee wanted? To be happy with Bert.

"Fuck, Gee. . . I- I thought we were in this together." Frank said looking down. "A relationship only works when both people are trying."

"I am!" Gerard prostested.

"Gerard, trying isn't letting other guys fuck you! I-I bet the first time, when you told me he forced himself onto you. . . bet you wanted it." Frank spat bitterly.

Gerard gasped. How could he say that?

"No! daddy I-"

"Frank." He interrupted.

"w-what?"

"My name is F-Frank. Call me that, Gerard." Frank said even though it pained him. Frank sniffled and turned away.

"No, Daddy please!" Gerard cried grabbing at Franks sleeve.

"Gerard go back to class." Frank said softly not really having the heart to yell at him.

"Frankie, please don't leave me." Gerard cried into Franks chest, holding onto him for support. "I love you. . ." he whimpered but his words were muffled by Franks shirt.

"W-What?" Frank said. Gerard looked up at him chewing nervously on his lip.
"Gee, what did you say?"

"I love you. A-And I mean like for real not like friendship wise."

"Gerard," Frank sighed not sure what ti say or do. It was obviously lie. Gerard couldn't love him if he was able to give himself to other people so easily. "You don't. You're just desperate and confused."

"No, Frank. I'm not confused, I love you so much." Gerard said honestly, but Frank still wasn't buying it.

Frank sighed and carefully pried Gerard off of him leaving the boy to hug his own arms around himself for comfort. His shoulders shook as he continued to cry silently to himself because he really couldn't help it.

"Gee, stop it."

"I-I'm sorry. I just thought that y-you felt t-the same way about me." He admitted. "I'm so worthless. I'm sorry."

"No, Gee you're not worthless at all. You still mean the world to me but my heart can't take you sleeping with other people. . . I know you're new to the whole relationship thing but you should understand that you're mine and nobody else's."

"Frank, I'm sorry!" He cried harder. "I wanna be yours I-I swear! Please"

Frank chewed on his lip trying not to cave in. He was getting played yet again.

"Gerard. If you can exsplain to me why you had sex with Bert behind my back then maybe we can work this out."

"Oh, Thank you Frankie!" Gerard said hugging his boyfriend.

He sniffled and took a few steps back. Fuck. How was he supposed to do this?

"I um. . . crap I-"

"It's okay baby- Gee," He coughed over his mistake. "Just why did you sleep with him? Did I do somthing? Did I hurt you? Because if I did I am so fucking sorry that I caused you to react like that."

"No, you didn't do anything."Gerard sighed.

Frank frowned. "Then why-"

"I asked him to tie my bow." He started.

"What?"

"A bow on the back of my dress. It's hard to tie and I couldn't do it on my own so I asked him to help me that's all. B-But when he was done he started. . . you know, touching?"

Gerard finished looking up at Frank so see if he was still comprehending what he was trying to say. Frank nodded for him to go on, deciding not to interject quite yet.

"So I kinda asked him to stop and he, yaknow didn't so-" Gerard said using his hands to talk like he usualy did.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait-" Frank said waving his hands for Gerard to stop talking.

"Frank, I'm not done."

"That fucking rat- yeah go on actually."

"Things went on and he brought his hands under my dress and I still told him to quit it but he had his arm wrapped around me so I couldn't move and-"

"Gee I don't think you-" Frank cut in again making Gerard groan.

"Oh my god, can you let me say what I need to say." Gerard said dramatically.

"Gee, I don't think I wanna hear it."

"What do you mean! First you confront me about how I need to explain myself then you won't alow me to do just that!" Gerard whined.

"Look. Did you want what Bert did to you? Did you want him yo do what he did?" Frank asked straightforwardly.

"No, but we still did sex I guess." Gerard half-mumbled.

"You don't "do sex," Gee." Frank chuckled. "Also you didn't want this, babe." Frank pointed out.

"So?"

"So this wasn't your fault, honey." Frank said softly pulling Gerard to his heart.
"We need to get back to class now we can talk later."

Frank kissed Gerard softly at the corner of his mouth and walked back to class with his arm tightly wrapped around Gee's waist.
