You are beautiful to me (Gerard Way x Reader)

15) Pumpkin Pie, Motherfucker

I did as my mother told me: I hadn't met anyone on the weekend. To be honest I was kinda glad about it because I had more interactions with people in the last few days than I ever had in my whole life. So that gave me time to recharge my energy.

Meanwhile it was Thursday. The week was almost over. I didn't do much during the week. I only met Amalia once because of a music project. We didn't do much for the project though...she raved about Frank the whole time and how adorable he is. I just listened for the most part, but I didn't mind because I think the two would make a really cute couple and it was nice to see how happy Amalia was when she talked about Frank.

I walked to our table for lunch. So far only Mikey has sat there. We talked a little, until now I seldom had conversations with him alone, but whenever it came to that, I always liked Mikey even more afterwards because he just has a an amazing character and we share a lot of interests.

"I should actually wait until Gerard is here, but since he's late as always I'm too excited and have to tell you." Mikey said like a happy child that is waiting for his birthday cake.
"What is it that you're so excited about?" I really was curious, because what could be so exciting on a boring school day?
"So Frank's birthday is on saturday and Gerard and I wanted to ask you, if you want to bake a cake with us for Frank." To be honest I was expecting something bigger after Mikey was so excited about it, but it was a sweet idea and he seemed like it was important to him.
"Please say yes" he said with pleading puppy eyes.
"Yeah sure, you don't have to look at me like that, I would've said yes anyway" I giggled.
"Great!"
"Wait...this saturday? Isn't Halloween on saturday? So Frank's birthday is on Halloween?" I didn't know that.
"Yeah it is and he tells us all the time how cool that is. He even says that he would like to have a 'halloween' tattoo some day." I never really celebrated halloween but I look forward to doing it on saturday.

---------

It was Friday. I was just getting ready to go to the Way house. Frank had explained to us today at school with thousands of reasons why it is the coolest thing to have his birthday on halloween and described how he imagines his party. I was surprised that he only invited the boys, Amalia and me. I thought he would want a big party because he also absolutely wanted to go to this party of Brandon so bad. But I was glad that he kept it small.

-

"So have you ever baked a cake?" I asked.
"Nope, but I think this shit will be easy peasy, pumpkin peasy." Gerard said confidently. I couldn't help but laugh because of his choice of words.

"Well...it was amazing to work with you guys, but it was more dramatic than I thought it would be and I think...we fucked it up a bit." Gerard said while all three of us stared at this thing that was supposed to be called a cake.

----

"You would be a great princess Leia" Amalia said amazed while looking at the costume on the fenate doll. "Then Gerard could be your Luke."
"Ehm...have you even watched the Star Wars movies?"
"Nope, but Luke and Leia are so sweet together." she enthused.
"Yeah you are right, they are really sweet siblings."
"Wait what?!" Amalia said shocked.
"What?"
"They're siblings?"
"Yeah, what did you think they was?"
"A couple of course!"
"But why should Gerard have the matching costume then? I mean we're not a couple, we're more like brother and sister, so Luke and Leia would fit much better."
"Are you kidding?"
"I don't know, do you think I'm kidding?"
"What the fuck? You confuse me y/n."
"Then I have reached my life goal with that."
"Fuck you" she laughed and nudged me lightly.
"Fuck you too, how dare you have never seen Star Wars?" I said like a mother who wants to teach her child a lesson.

In the end I actually bought the princess Leia outfit and Amalia bought the matching Luke costume. I suggested that I could take the Luke outfit so that she could impress Frank with the Leia one. She only responded with 'I think Frank is gay anyway, so Luke will work' with a wink.

Amalia and I walked over to the Way house, so that we all can drive together to Frank's.
"Ray is on the way" Gerard informed us and as soon as he arrived, we all got in the car and drove off.

Gerard drove, Ray sat next to him and Mikey, Amalia and I sat in the back seat.
"What did y'all get for Frank?" Ray asked.
"A cake" Gerard and Mikey answerd in unison.
"Typical, you could at least have bought him a little something." Ray said a little annoyed. To be honest, I was also a bit surprised that they didn't have a present, I thought the cake was just a minor matter.
"Our friendship is gift enough." Gerard sassed and flipped his hair.

-

"FINALLY! What took y'all so long, I've waited so long!" Frank 'greeted' us.
"We're literally just like 2 minutes late." Ray replied while hugging him.
"What is this?" Frank asked with a confused and kinda disgusted face.
"A cake we made for you" Mikey answered.
"Well it looks more like a dog's shit or somethi-"
"Hey! You didn't even tried it so shut the fuck up and eat a piece of this pumkin pie, motherfucker." Gerard raised his finger.
"Fine" Frank mumled and bit off a piece of cake...and spat it right out again.
"It not only looks like dog shit, it tastes like it too." he wailed.
"Whatever. Do you have something else to eat?" I asked.
"Yeah, I ordered pizza"

We talked, ate and watches TV several hours.
"Why should we even wear costumes when we just sit around here all the time anyway?" I've been asking myself that since we arrived.
"I like role plays" Frank said with a dirty grin and Amalia was the only one who laughed, obviously.

"So as always, a cliché has to be fulfilled this evening. That's why we play 'never have I ever' now." Frank decided. Call me boring, but I hate games like this. They can be funny though, but for me the panic usually predominates.
"Ok, we'll begin soft," Amalia started speaking "never have I ever kissed anyone." Really? It was foreseeable that this kind of question would come up. Everyone drank of course, except me. Everyone looked at me in surprise. Especially Gerard looked utterly confused. Is he looking at me like that because of 'the Brandon thing'? But Brandon had kissed and I didn't even take part...so I prefer not counting that as a real kiss.
"W-what?"
"N-nothing, I just ehm you-"
"He can't believe you've never kissed anyone before because he thinks you're pretty hot." Frank cut Gerard off. Gerard looked shocked and embarrassed and I probably had a similar look.
"W-what? NO! I mean uhm...that wasn't what I was about to say!" Gerard said trying to make the situation a little less uncomfortable, but that didn't really help.
"So you really ain't nev-" Amalia started but I interrupted her. "Yeah, I've really never kissed anyone, otherwise I would've drunk, right? The rules of the game are not that hard to understand." I said and immediately regretted it because I had sounded way more rude than I wanted.

"Never have I ever had a crush on somebody in this room." I said with the intention that Frank and Amalia would drink. It worked, they both took a sip, giggled a bit and eye-fucked each other. But they weren't the only ones. Gerard hesitated for a while and then also took a sip and looked blushingly at the floor. Everyone looked at him and then looked at me with massive grins on their faces. Wow this situation is even more uncomfortable than just now. And the stupidest thing is that I asked the question. How should I've known that Gerard would drink too?
"Probably Gerard also has a crush on Frank." I tried to release the tension somehow and laughed really awkward but that didn't quite work out as planned.

We played a few more rounds and luckily the questions were far less uncomfortable from then on. I noticed how Gerard kept glancing at me, but always immediately looked away again when I looked in his direction. It was weird. It made me nervous and I didn't know how to behave or feel.
