You're only 17... (frerard fanfic) (teacher X student) COMPLETED

24: The world is ugly but you're beautiful to me

I forgot to ask Frank about how skinny he is, I don't know if that's something he wants to talk about right now though.

Still, it's important to me, and I'm just looking out for him and his health,

"Hey Frank? Can I ask you something and you'll be honest? I won't be mad I just wanna make sure everything is okay."

"Yeah, what's up" He said, looking a little unsure of what I'm going to say.

"Are you eating enough? And is everything okay with you mentally and stuff? I know I shouldn't have to check in on you all the time but I want to make sure you're okay." I stated. He probably thinks I'm some overprotective boyfriend that acts like his father.

"Well, yeah I-I've been eating less... I'm doing okay mentally, I- yeah, I'm perfectly fine. I'm not starving myself or anything, I'm not depressed, I'm strong and I can deal with everything, don't worry babe." He said.

Something about all of what he said sounded a little fake, but I don't want to nag him about all this stuff.

"Okay." I simply responded.

We sat there in silence for a little bit longer until I spoke up again,

"Hey I want you to know that you can come to me if you need someone to talk to. Okay?"

He nodded his head, "Yeah, I know and if I need to, then I will."

We hugged, and held it for quiet a while. I kissed the top of his head, trying to show affection to him, but it's difficult as his teacher.

Frank pov:

I bet Gerard thinks of me as a child. A weak, pathetic, child. No wonder he doesn't wanna do anything with me, he thinks he's a bad person for it.

For fucking someone who's not mentally stable, who's younger than him, who's not as strong and amazing as him. He probably thinks he's some sort of child molester. I wish he knew how much I love him.

I'm considering telling him, but I think that he's not able to fall in love with a student.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten into this, I always set myself up for rejection.

*Time skip to the end of the day*

Me and Gerard are going on a date at 1am tonight.

Neither of us are really the Fancy Restaurant type, so we're hanging out in the back of a convenient store with graffiti all over the brick walls, sharing a can of pringles and drinking monster energy drinks.

This whole date is kind of aesthetic, it's funny almost. I feel like I'm scrolling on pinterest or something.

I feel like right now is a good time to talk to him about everything, with how I feel like he doesn't really feel comfortable being in a relationship with me because I'm his student.

I might regret this but here we go,

"Hey Gee, can I talk to you about something?"

He looked up from his monster can, "Yeah, what's up babe?"

Everytime he calls me babe I get butterflies. He's so cute.

I silently took a deep breath, "I feel like you're almost uncomfortable with our relationship because I'm your student. If that's the case I totally get it, and the last thing I ever want to do is make you uncomfortable. I feel like you think of me as some mentally ill child, and that's why you're with me. I mean maybe there's some feelings involved, but it seems like the fact that I'm your student is holding you back from showing those feelings. I don't know, I don't think highly of myself so maybe that's why I think you think I'm weak or something, but I can tell you aren't into the whole teacher-student thing."

He sat there for a second, probably thinking. Then he spoke up,

"I don't know why you think other people see you as weak and childish, but you're far from that. I'll be completely honest, I can see that in lots of other kids, and you have never been one of them. I think there's a lot of shit going on in your life and it has an affect on you and your mental health, I think your lack of confidence makes things harder on you. I want you to know that the world is ugly, but you're beautiful to me. You are absolutely fucking amazing and I would never in a million years only date you because I feel bad for you for feeling depressed. The teacher-student thing, yeah I'm not thrilled about that, I feel like I've turned into those teachers parents and media warn you about, the child molesting, pedophile ones. But you're not a child. In 6 months you'll be 100% legal. I feel guilty because my job as a teacher is to educate, and I'm your boyfriend. There's no other art class for you to switch to, and we're too late in the school year to change your elective. Look Frank, that may be holding us back because I feel guilty, but it doesn't change how I feel about you."

Then he said something I thought he'd never say.

"Frank... I...

I love you."

He loves me. HOLY SHIT HE LOVES ME!

A grin appeared across my face, practically all on it's own.

"Y-you mean it?" I asked, feeling the happiest I've ever felt.

He nodded his head,

"I love you Frank. I love you a lot."

"I love you too. So fucking much oh man you have no idea how long I've wanted to say that." I responded

"Me too, I was so worried that you thought it was too early or something but... yeah I'm in love with you. I want you to know that even with me being your teacher, that is not going to affect us, okay?" He said.

I nodded my head, as I reached in for a hug.

We sat there for a while, just holding a hug.  I'm so happy that I'm with him and that he actually wants to be with me.
