The Light Behind Your Eyes ✅ ( A Frerard Fanfic )

For All The Dirty Looks

~Gerard's POV~

The teacher didn't actually talk through the whole class, she gave us an assignment where we had to do something to do about with the outdoors or whatever. I don't go out, I stay in my room or listen to music or do something artsy. I wasn't listening through the class, I was sitting there, once again doodling in my sketchbook. After science I had history and Frank had math. This was the only class where we got split up, all the other classes we had together. I should probably make some new friends in the class because if I don't I might be alone for the entire year. I sat down in a desk and a girl sat in the desk next to me. How do I make friends with someone? I asked myself quietly. I was flicking my pencil back and forth and it accidentally flew out of my hand and hit the girl sitting next to me in the head.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" I said.
"Don't worry about it, it's happened before." She said calmly.
"Really?" I asked.
"No, But don't sweat it, I'm Lyn-z" She replied.
"I'm Gerard" I said back.

The rest of the class was boring, we were learning about George Washington or something. I think I have this power to tune out useless information and only listen to the stuff I want to. Now it was lunch and I decided to sit at a table with Mikey, Ray and Frank. Mikey and Ray were talking about a band called Iron Maiden and I was sitting there in silence enjoying my macaroni and cheese. After lunch we had music, which I was excited for. Frank had got his guitar and he was REALLY good at playing it. I have tried to play guitar, but I'm not very good. I sat in my little corner and scribbled out lyrics onto my sketch pad. This time, no lyrics were coming out I was sitting there and all I had was 'well if you wanted honesty thats all you had to say.'

"How's it going?" Frank asked.
"Not great, no words are coming to me." I replied.

Pretty soon, the same Lyn-z girl came and started talking to me. Frank was still sitting next to me. I didn't know she was in our music class, I guess I would know if I didn't hide in the back of the room.

"Hey Gerard" she said.
"Hi Lyn-z" I replied.
"Who's this?" Frank blurted out.
"Frank, this is Lyn-z, Lyn-z this is Frank" I said introducing the two.

Frank stared at the paper I was writing on, I still had that one sentence down and it had to be like what, fifteen minutes into the class?

"Here I can help" Lyn-z said, grabbing my notebook but her hand lingered on mine for too long and I think Frank might've gotten jealous.
"Hey hands off he's mine!" Frank said, tapping her hands away. Yep, jealousy. Lyn-z looked at us puzzled for a moment.
"Umm yeah, Frankie's my boyfriend" I said.
"Oh, okay" Lyn-z said as stood up and walked away.

I continued to try to come up with words, as Frank grabbed his guitar and started tuning and strumming it. I came up with more words, finally!

what will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means.

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out.

The last class I had was Math and we were learning about integers and stuff. Not very fun, although no math is. The bus ride was short this time, Kalum and Bob were too interested in pressing lighters into the seats rather than picking on Frank and I. When it was our stop I offered to take Frank and Mikey to Starbucks. Mikey declined and instead I went with Frank. I ordered a caramel macchiato and Frank ordered a pumpkin spice latté. We sat down at a table when my phone buzzed.

Mikey: Gerard, don't come home yet, Mom and Dad are extremely angry, I'm going to help you out on this one. I'll text you when it's okay to come home. -Mikes

Well I decided to listen to Mikey, not knowing what all this was about. I told Frank too but he didn't care. We were in an area where it wasn't the city but there was a Starbucks, music store, multiple restaurants, a dollar store and a grocery store, we could be here for awhile without being totally bored. After we were done our coffee we decided to go to the dollar store. We walked down every aisle messing up almost everything that we saw. I grabbed a pink feather boa and tossed it over my shoulder.

"Hello Frankie" I said in the sassiest voice possible.
"Oh my god Gee! Stop it!" Frank said, tuning red and trying to pull the boa away from me.
"No Frankie!" I said, but he managed to get it away from me.

My phone soon buzzed and Mikey said it was okay for me to come home. Frank and I walked home and it was already starting to get dark, and it was around 6:45 by now. When I got home I unlocked the door and stepped inside. I looked around for people but there was no one. I took off my shoes and walked to my room. I put on my pyjamas and decided to go to sleep early. It would be good for both me and the dark circles under my eyes. Frankie came over to me and cuddled next to me and we both fell asleep.
