Child's Play ➳ Frerard

Chapter three

Gerard felt like he was gonna throw up this mornings breakfast and coffee, little 'innocent' Frank Iero was in jail and was creepy now. He wasn't the same person he was in third grade. The killing didn't bother him, it was the chills that went down his spine when Frank spoke and cackled into the phone the previous night before.

But here he was-still standing in front of the jail, waiting to be let in and checked for anything that could possible let anyone out or hurt someone with. Gerard hurt someone? Yeah right..

Part of him was excited to see Frank, the other half wanted to run and never come back. But Gerard wasn't a quitter.

He followed through with things that he had started. He didn't like leaving things unfinished or half-done. "Mr. Way?"

The girl behind the glass window spoke. "Yeah?" Gerard asked, snapping out of the trance that he put himself in. "I-I mean, yes ma'am?"

She smiled at Gerard and pushed a button that opened the gates. "They're ready for you now."

He gulped and reluctantly nodded before taking small steps toward the big stone building. This place looks awful, how did Frank manage to be here? Even if it was or has been for a only a few days. Frank was here. Gerard was here, they were both here and seeing each other again for the first time in eight years.

Frank would wind up killing him- Gerard was sure of it.

As he walked closer to the front entrance, to really mean and serious looking guards walked out, dark sunglasses and very big arms with tight blue shirts. "He's in the visiting room. Don't worry kid, we got your back."

Gerard looked up at the one that spoke and glared, they don't have his back. "I'm not a kid." He mumbled and walked into the cool building and to the double doors that were open and people were walking in and out.

Prisoners chained to the floor. Hands bound together so they couldn't strangle the person sitting across from them. They'd do it if they had the chance, you know. Even if they are innocent. If they had the chance, they would.

The first person he spotted was Frank. Short and greasy looking hair that was blacker now then it was before. He must've dyed it since. His skin was no longer pale and smooth; it was just pale and covered with tattoos and piercings. Frank Iero was certainly a different person then he was then.

Right when Gerard was about to look away before he got caught staring - Frank looked from his chained feet up to the man that was headed his way.

"Gerard...you actually came." He smiled when Gerard drew closer. He hesitantly took a seat. His mom didn't even want him here- now he could see why. "I was having my doubts."

Gerard frowned. "I was sad when you didn't visit me that summer. I cried...and cried." He whispered, his voice barely audible. Not that he really wanted to be heard.

"I cried too." Frank said, sitting up straighter in his chair. "My mom hit me so hard, I got put in the hospital -" he looked up to see the confusion and questions littering the boy's face. "I was fighting back- she found me smoking on the back patio."

"But you were only 10!" Gerard gasped.

"My dad left them laying around. And let's just say I'm a curious kid." Frank shrugged. "I was pissed because they moved me away from you. So I rebelled and did everything I could to make them mad."

"I still find myself crying...unintentionally though." Gerard sighed. "I'm a crybaby, I know."

"You didn't used to me, Mr. Showoff." Frank smirked.

Gerard glared. "I haven't done that since." He looked to Frank's hands. "Can I- can I hold you hand?"

Frank nodded and stretched it out to him, Gerard grabbed it and slid around the table next to Frank. "Aren't you scared?"

"Of you? Yeah, or at least a little bit anyway." Gerard nodded, bringing the inked hand to his face. "I feel like you're gonna kill me or something, but I'm not scared at the fact that you killed your parents- they were royal asses, they deserved it."

Frank grinned. "Did I scare you on the phone?"

Gerard nodded, taking the hand away from his face, which in result made Frank frown. "Yeah...I was scared to see you today - I almost puked up my breakfast."

Frank sighed. "I'm sorry, moving away from your best friend changes a boy...do you still love me?"

Gerard nodded. "Yeah. Even though Mikey doesn't understand how we love each other if we aren't together...hypocrite though, I found journals with him writing about how he loves Ray but they weren't together at the time."

"Ray and lil' Mikey are together?" Frank asked with a thoughtful expression. "How much have I missed? Can I touch your face again?" Frank asked question after question. "It's soft. I like it."

Gerard giggled and brought Frank's hand to his lips. "Yeah, you can."

Frank breathed in, closing his eyes and exhaled. "Times almost over. Will you see me again?"

"Of course- but wait! What did you mean last night about how the guards moving you will be a mistake or something like that?" Gerard asked with a frown.

"I can't tell you. But you'll find out soon enough." Frank leaned over and kissed the corner of Gerard's mouth; but not exactly on them and called security over. "Bye Gee..."

"Bye Frankie." Gerard waved and walked out of the room and out of the building.

"So...what's new with your boyfriend?" Mine asked as soon as Gerard walked into the house. Mikey and Ray were sitting on the couch talking when apparently Gerard interrupted them.

"He's not my boyfriend." Gerard blushed. "He's got tattoos and piercings...."

"How nice. Do you think mom will still like him?" Mikey asked with a sadistic smirk. Fucking dick.

Gerard stuck his tongue out at Mikey and stomped towards the basement stairs where he slammed the door and enclosed himself in the darkness that is his favorite place.

Gerard took his shoes off and sat down on the bed. He absent-mindedly brought his fingers to his lips. Frank kissed him, he'd never done that before.

It wasn't a romantic kiss or anything, but still, he was kissed near the mouth- by Frank.

And he liked it more then he should have.

Such a cliché chapter ending. Who cares though. Frank is awesome and Gerard is adorable-especially their giggles, so let's think about that.

Thanks Pete!
