You're Perfectly Perfect To Me (Frerard)

Part 15. Halloween

Gerard's PoV.

I felt relieved after Mikey had told me that Frank actually has a crush on me. It suddenly made sense that he didn't want to tell me about it, but after telling me he also seemed relieved.

"So, you're gonna tell him about your feelings towards him on friday?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah, probably", I answered. As Mikey pointed out earlier, Frank would probably ask why we broke up and part of the reason was my feelings towards him.

"Okay, good", Mikey said.

"Are you gonna tell him about your... Um... Agreement with Lindsey?" Mikey asked. I shrugged. I hadn't really thought about it, but if it went well I would eventually have to tell Frank and probably it was better to do sooner than later. But maybe it would be a little overwhelming at the same time with the other things.

"I don't know if I'm gonna tell him about it just yet", I said. Mikey nodded.

"Should we get him a birthday present by the way?" Mikey asked after we had been silent for a while.

"That would be nice, but I have no idea what we could get him", I answered.

"Well... He obviously likes band shirts so maybe we could ask if Ray would take us to a hot topic?" Mikey suggested. I nodded excitedly.

"That's actually not a bad idea", I said and smiled at my brother.

Frank's PoV.

Couple days went by and soon I noticed myself waking up on Halloween morning in a very familiar way. My mom had had a tradition for years to wake me up by singing happy birthday next to my bed while holding a present and a cupcake in her hands. That's what she did this year too. I smiled at her as she stopped singing and I moved into a sitting position on my bed.

"Sweet sixteen, sweetheart", she said, giving me the cupcake. She placed the present on my lap before hugging me.

"Thanks, mom", I said and smiled at her as she let me go from the hug.

I ate the cupcake and after that opened the present which turned out to be a box of new guitar picks and a new strap for my guitar. I thanked my mom for the cupcake and the presents and started getting ready for school.

After getting ready for school, I met the brothers in front of our driveway as usual.

"Hey, Frankie. Happy birthday!" Mikey said and hugged me. I hugged him back, a bit surprised. He wasn't usually really a hugger.

"Yeah, happy birthday", Gerard said and smiled at me.

"Thanks", I said and smiled at both of them.

I hadn't seen Gerard since Sunday out of school and I hadn't even seen Mikey out of school after Monday. For the past couple days I had just been practising a lot after school for the gig.

"So, are you excited about tomorrow?" Gerard asked as we started walking towards school.

"Yeah, of course. But I'm also nervous. What if I mess up? What if no one likes my singing or playing?" I answered. I had no idea how many people would show up there, but nevertheless it would be the most people I've ever played in front of 'cause I knew that at least Gerard and Mikey would be there and the other performers and the owners of the record store. And the other performers will probably also have their friends watching.

"It'll go just fine. You're great, I'm sure they'll love you. And if you mess something up, just keep going and nobody probably even notices it", Gerard said, making me feel better. I smiled at him thankfully.
