Frerard - Much More Than Friends (Part 2 of the 'Just Friends' Series)

6

Gerard had decided to stop overthinking everything and just enjoy the last day of their break away. They'd headed off for a drive and stumbled upon a small little town that was hosting a cute carnival. The two parked up and had lunch at a little café, sitting outside, sipping on cappuccino's and nibbling on a selection of cheeses and olives. You would have thought they were vacationing on the French Riviera with the way the two basked in the sun and peered over their sunglasses. It was a far different lifestyle than they were used to, bustling New York with dingy bars with sticky floors.

Frank reached over and took a hold of his boyfriend's hand.

"I've really enjoyed this" he smiled as he squeezed Gerard's hand.

"Yeah. Me too" he replied. "It's so pretty here."

"You're so pretty" Frank replied in an instant, causing his boyfriend to roll his eyes.

"Whatever" he replied with a chuckle.

"I mean it Gee" Frank smirked. "Last night. Fuck you looked so hot."

Gerard blushed at the memory and glanced around to make sure no one was in earshot.

"Shut up" he laughed quietly.

"Definitely one for the spank bank. Those fucking panties, urghh!" Frank said without any embarrassment at all.

Gerard again looked around, praying to God that nobody could hear him.

"Seriously. Shut the fuck up!" he scolded teasingly.

Frank tapped the side of his head. "I'm just saying. It's up here now. Motherfucker, what you do to me! Believe me, that image will give me a lot of pleasure when I'm away."

"Jesus Christ" Gerard laughed and kicked Frank lightly under the table as he spotted the waiter approach.

"Everything alright here gentlemen?" he asked politely.

"Oh, everything is just fine" Frank replied, resting his foot on Gerard's crotch underneath the tablecloth, pressing his toes into him a little.

Gerard spluttered a little before also politely replying that they were indeed fine and happy with everything.

After a little more teasing, the two men headed off towards the carnival. They strolled hand in hand taking in the sights and smells. The sky was beginning to grow darker as the day began to draw to a close. Fairly lights lit up the stalls and rides making the whole place seem more enchanting.

They went on a couple of rides and ate cotton candy as they reminisced about their own visits to similar places when they were kids. Then Frank was pulling Gerard towards the Ferris Wheel. They stepped into their carriage and were promptly lifted skywards. Frank held Gerard's hand as he rammed more cotton candy into his mouth. They stalled at the top while the lower gondolas were being filled with more people. The view up here was breathtaking. The ink blue ocean was just visible in the distance with the twinkle of lights along the shore seeming to dance along its edge; excited children looking so small below, running around and laughing with their parents and loved ones.

Gerard felt like this would be the most perfect place to propose, and he looked over at Frank wondering whether he should just go for it. Just ask him. Surely, he would feel it too, up here with romance surrounding them. Surely, he would see how happy they would be as husbands. He felt the words in the back of his throat and was just about to release them, when suddenly Frank spoke up.

"I could totally give you a sneaky hand job up her."

Gerard just stared back at him, before being pulled to his senses.
