The World is Ugly, But You're Beautiful to Me. (Frerard)

『❾』

Before getting to school, I stopped by the corner store on the way, being greeted by Daniel.

"Hey man, I was worried since you hadn't come in for a few weeks" he told me, and I laughed.

"Ya miss me?" I smirked.

"I missed making fun of you if that's what you mean" Daniel said chuckling, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well I've been too busy to listen to your ridicule, sorry". At this, Daniel stopped and looked at me with fake surprise.

"Woah! Frank Iero, has been busy? He's actually had something to do? Or is it someone to do?" Daniel questioned, and I almost choked.

"Screw off, we haven't done any of that yet!" I said, becoming embarrassed as Daniel smirked.

"But there is a someone?"

I sighed, laughing. "There is a someone."

Daniel cheered, coming over and patting me on the back. "Congrats man, that's great".

"I already know it is, now ring me up. I gotta get to school".

"Mikey always has his nose stuck in a book or comic, I swear" Gerard commented, sticking his tongue out at the quiet Mikey who sat a stair down from us on the bleachers we sat on before school.

"Don't act like that, Gee. Knowledge is power, haven't you watched G.I. Joe?" I told him, leaning onto his shoulder and intertwining our fingers.

Mikey made no comment, other than pulling Gerard's leg and making him slip down half a stair step. I clapped, giving Mikey props for the calmness of his trick. Gerard just laughed at himself and whacked Mikey playfully.

"You little shits!" Gerard said, still laughing.

"Speaking of little shits, where're Ray and Bob?" I asked. I had been introduced to Bob only a few days ago, but he seemed to carry into this little group we had just fine.

"They told me they were gonna mess with the football team, I wished them a peaceful death" Mikey explained quietly. I was confused as to how they'd screw with jocks, but shrugged my shoulders and quickly dismissed it as Gerard pulled me onto him.

"They know how to pull some pretty great pranks without getting caught, don't worry" Gerard reassured me, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just surprised you didn't want to go with them to raise hell".

"My dear Frankie, I gave up my life of crime to live the rest of it out with you. I couldn't have your pretty face worrying for me" Gerard said to me, smirking and kissing my neck, and I had to muffle myself.

"Oh yeah, that's why you threatened to smash Mr. William's windshield with a baseball bat yesterday, right?" I remarked, grinning smugly.

"Exactly, that's all it was, a threat. I would never hurt such a nice piece of engineering". I laughed, punching Gerard's arm.

We talked for a bit longer, Mikey joining in when he found something interesting, until the bell rang.

I sighed, standing up from my spot on Gerard's lap. I kissed his cheek, then walked off of the bleachers. "Later guys, I gotta get to hell" I said.

"Bye Iero!" Mikey said.

"Bye mon amour!" Gerard exclaimed.

A few minutes later, I got a text from Gerard.

"Meet me after school in the front near the gates.
Btw I'm sorry if I was sweaty on the bleachers, you just make me nervous. xx".
