Pose for me (Frerard)

Chapter ten

I awoke the next morning to the shrill sound of my alarm near my left ear. I blinked my eyes blearily and sat up against the bed frame. From then I began my daily routine of getting ready and upon finally finishing walked down the stairs to my car with my equipment to go to the photo shoot. Sighing, I leapt into the drivers side and turned on the ignition, pulling out shortly after. I commenced the journey to the photo studio and after ten or so minutes pulled up into my usual spot. I really wanted to get bigger in the industry and if photoshoots at seven am got me there, then so be it. I started the walk up to the doors and was greeted by an excited Ray.

"This is a big one Frank! Well apart from Gerard Way, but it's the next best thing!" He said to me as we strolled into the shooting room. Everything was set up as it was supposed to be, it was only my equipment that was left. I began to unload when Chris walked in, decked in all black. I was informed the night before that there was a change of plan and we were going to change the theme of the shoot to fit in another girl model. Her name as Ashley Costello, if I wasn't straight up gay I think I would defiantly make a move on her.

While unpacking I missed the coming in of Ashley, I looked up and saw lots of the male and a couple of females checking her out. I smiled to myself. She walked with confidence towards where Chris was, in the centre of the backdrop and they greeted one another. After another minute or two I finished setting up and called for us to start. The theme was a masquerade ball and Ashley and Chris were dancing in the middle of the set while I took a fair amount of pictures.

Half an hour later, I called for a break. I walked towards the bathrooms and locked myself into a stall, checking my phone. I saw I had a couple of texts from Gerard, both of them along the lines of 'Hey Frankie, I hope everything is going well. I miss you.' I laughed at his neediness not denying to myself that I was flattered he was thinking of me. I began to type my rely, 'Hi Gee, everything is going well. The shoot has to be one of my favourites so far. I miss you too.' And to be perfectly honest it was the truth, I did miss him. I was seeing him again tonight and I couldn't wait. I was confused though, despite this. Did he actually like me? What are we? I sat there for a few more minutes, on the toilet seat before standing up and unlocking my door and making my way back to the shoot.

We started a few minutes later. This was another reason I loved doing what I do, I called the shots. Whatever I said was done and I loved it.

An hour or so after that we had done. The photos used for this were going towards a magazine like Pamper And Glory. I texted Gerard to let him know that I had finished, he hasn't texted me back from before but I dropped it, thinking he was at a shoot of his own. After I finished packing away Ray caught up with me near the door.

"Wanna go get a coffee or something?" He asked while we both made our way out. I nodded and we both agreed to take my car. After a short car journey filled with conversation, I pulled up at the small, dusty coffee shop around the corner from my apartment complex. We both walked in, hearing the bell ring above us as we entered, and settled down into a booth at the back. A minute or so later Ray was up and ordering our drinks. I sat and waited for him to come back, scrolling through my instagram account. "So, anything new going on with you?" I looked up from my phone to him and debated telling him about Gerard and all that was going on with him. A second or so later I decided I might as well.

"Yeah I guess you could say that." I said and then launched into the bizarre things that have been happening to me ever since the photo shoot. He nodded at the appropriate times but other than that he stayed completely still and silent. Once I was finished he looked and me in shock before laughing quietly.

"Things like this never happen to guys like us you know Frank? But I'm glad it's happened to you." And the subject wasn't brought up again. I was happy to be with my best friend again and to have his company. An hour later we were getting back into the car to go and drop Ray off. The car was filled with chatter of nothing of particular importance and it was only a very short while until we were back where we started. We bid each other farewell before he hopped out and I made my way back home.

I decided that I should text Gerard once I had arrived and dug my phone out of my back pocket. Hey, can I come over now? I waited a moment or two for a reply and quickly got one. Yeah sure, that would be great! I smiled to myself before putting the shoes I had just kicked off back on. I drove to his house in ten minutes and was rapidly making my way up his front steps excitedly. I was happy to see him and be able to spend time with him. I knocked on the door and it was pulled open with a tremendous force much a kin to my excitement. There stood Gerard in all his glory, he smiled brightly before stepping aside to let me in.
