Nirvana and Coffee (Gerard Way X Reader)

Strong Ass Coffee Pt. 2

    I wake up to my alarm and sit up in bed, stretching and opening my eyes. I look at the clock- it's only 10:30. it feels way earlier than it should. I brush my bright blue hair out of my face and crawl out of bed, yawning loudly and walking over to my dresser, grabbing a blink-182 shirt and some ripped black shorts, throwing them on quickly, along with a studded belt. I brush out my hair and put my black beanie with the frog on, too lazy to straighten it. I grab my phone off the charger and walk out of my room, into the bathroom, and quickly brush my teeth before i walk out the door.
    I head down towards the starbucks, smiling brightly as I walk in the door, sitting down in one of the booths while I wait for him. As I scroll through my phone, I realize I didn't even get his name- that's awkward. I tap my fingers on the table and bite my lip, looking around impatiently, getting anxious.
    I continue looking around for him before looking back down at my phone. I hear the little bell on the door ding and look up and see him walking in, smiling brightly when we make eye contact. I smile back at him and blush, looking down at the table nervously.
He says "Hey," and I try to say it back, but I can't get any sound out, and I end up just mouthing the word instead. He chuckles and I blush even harder.
  He goes and orders his coffee. He orders a grande black coffee, and my eyes widen in surprise. I could never drink that.
  He sits down across from me and tilts his head to the side slightly. "You don't have to be nervous, you know. I don't bite." He smiles at me, and I blush slightly, looking up into his hazel eyes.
"Sorry.. I'm just flustered I guess, I'm not used to interacting with cute guys." I only realize what I just said after a couple seconds, and I look away from his eyes, a bit embarrassed.
"T-That's alright." He says quietly, blushing slightly. At this point I'm feeling really nervous, I'm not sure what to say to him. "I just realized, that I never asked you your name."
  "Oh." I pause and look back up at him. "I'm Y/N." I smile at him. "Yours?"
  "Gerard. What brings you to New Jersey, Y/N?"
  "Well, I came up here from California, long ass flight. When I was younger, my best friend moved up here, so I guess I decided I'd follow her." I shrug, looking up at him. "I just needed to get the fuck out of Cali. It's just a bunch of trustees living on the beach other there." I roll my eyes. "That state is filled with republican homophobes, and I don't fuck with that shit."
  He laughs. "No, I don't either. I've been to California a few times myself, we sell more tickets there, but get more weird looks when we leave the tour bus."
  "Tickets? Tour bus?" I say quizzically. I suddenly remember that yesterday he said he was heading to the recording studio.
"Yup! I"m in a band with my brother and a few of our friends." He smiles, fuck his smile is cute.
"That's so cool! I've always wanted to be in a band, I play the drums, but I never really was able to find the opportunity." I shrug. "It sounds like a lot of work." I say, half joking, a playful glint in my eye. He laughs.
"It is a lot of work. I sing, and my brother plays the bass. His name's Mikey. We're called My Chemical Romance." My eyes light up, and i smile up at him.
"That's why you looked familiar! I love you guys!" I smile, finally realizing why it seemed like I knew him. "You're really talented. And props to your guitarist, those riffs are fuckin sick, dude. That's some real ass talent."
He smiles shyly, slightly flustered by my compliments. "Thanks! I'm glad you think so." I take the last sip of my frappuccino, a light smile still on my face now that I've realized who I'm talking to.
  "Of course." He finishes his coffee and grabs both of our empty cups before going and throwing them away.
  "So, Y/N, I know you just moved here, so how would you like a tour of the area? My treat." He winks at me, and I blush, smiling a bit more.
  "I'd love that. I'm still a bit lost." I laugh and smile at him.
  "Alright! C'mon!" He walks out the door and I pocket my phone, following quickly behind. We begin to walk, and I mentally map out every step. "There's the grocery store, whole foods- It's a bit like a maze in there, but I promise you'll figure it out. Then there's a gas station over there, it's just a 7/11, but it's functional. There's mcdonald's, burger king, and wendy's, over there, and then the mall is over there!" He points to each place as we pass them, with a dorky smile on his face. I'm really happy he would do this for me, I would most certainly get lost otherwise.
"Thank you, Honestly. I would 100% get lost around here if it wasn't for you." I laugh and smile at him.
"Of course! If you want I can give you my number?"
"That'd be perfect." I smile. "That way I can get to know you, and call you if I get lost." I laugh again, smiling even more. I pull out my phone and get ready for him to give it to me.
"It's 973-267-8095" (no it's not. that is the right area code but literally just a random number. please do not call that number 😭) He smiles, and I dile the number quickly into my phone and make the contact.
  "Alright! I'll call you later."
  "Works for me. Guess I'll see you around, then?" He looks me in the eyes, a small smile on his face.
  "Mhm. I'll see you." I hum and smile. I wave at him and turn and walk home, smiling shyly. I'm glad I met this guy. I just hope my dad doesn't fuck this up for me, too.
