The Break of Dawn

Gerard is just really pretty, you know?

"Hey Frank, we're going to have a barbecue with the neighbours if you want to come, I think you'll like their son," my aunt asked as we parked in the drive way.

"Maybe," I shrugged.

I just wanted to get to my room and hug Gerard for eternity.

I waited for tommy to unlock the door before heading down to my room.

"Gerard, you here?" I asked sitting down on my bed.

"Yup, what's up?" They asked sitting beside me.

"My aunt asked if I wanted to go to this barbecue with the neighbours. I would go but I want to hang out with you," I mumbled leaning my head on their shoulder.

"You should go," they said wrapping their hand around my waist.

"Really?" I asked turning round and sitting on their lap.

"Yeah I mean I want nothing more than to hang out with you but I can't be your only friend. Plus their kid's actually really cool, I think you'll like him," they said holding my hips with their hands.

"But I'll miss you," I said leaning my forehead on theirs.

"Well how about this? If you get really bored come back over here and say that you've forgotten something and we can hang out then," they said kissing my cheek.

"I like that idea," I said kissing their lips and sitting up.

I walked over to my wardrobe and took out a pair of ripped jeans and a shirt that says 'bill chooses his next victim'. I got changed quickly and ran my hand through my hair sorting it slightly.

I walked up the stairs and brushed my teeth.

"Are you going with us?" My aunt asked me as I walked out of the bathroom.

"Um yes, is that alright?" I asked shuffling my feet slightly.

"Of course it is frank," she said smiling at me and walking back into the living room.

I walked back down to my room and Gerard was still sitting there reading my watchmen comic.

"Hey we're going soon so you can stay here if you want I don't mind," I said putting on my converse and grabbing a hoodie.

"I think I'm gonna be meeting up with Michael, but thank you," they said standing up.

"Bye babe," they said pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek.

(((time skip to barbecue)))

"Ray this is Frank, Frank this is Ray," Tommy said as he was saddled with introductions.

"Nice to meet you frank," he said shaking my hand.

"Okay well as long as frank's not going to cry if I leave him alone, I'm gonna go talk to Rebecca," Tommy said walking over to some girl just about to get into the pool.

"Um hi," I said sucking my lip ring into my mouth.

"I don't bite," Ray said stuffing his hands into his pockets and shaking his head, his afro moving wildly.

"So why are you staying with them? If you don't mind me asking," Ray said leaning against the wall.

"My mom kicked me out and I was sent here," I said shrugging.

He nodded and looked around the room.

"Nice shirt," I said looking at his Metallica shirt.

"Thanks man I like your patch," he said gesturing towards my misfits patch on my jeans.

"Do you want to go up to my room?" Ray asked walking towards the door.

I followed him up to his room. The walls were covered with band posters and pictures. I saw a guitar leaning against the wall an amp beside it.

Ray sat on his bed and I leaned against the wall opposite him.

"You play guitar?" I asked gesturing to the guitar in the corner.

"Yup. You play any instruments?" He asked.

"Guitar and bass mostly," I said looking at the guitar.

"Have a go, just don't break it," he said leaning back on his bed.

I walked over and picked it up, strumming random chords deciding what to play before I settled on the man who would be king by the libertines.

"The libertines right?" He asked when I finished.

I nodded and put the guitar back.

"You're really good," he said sitting up.

"Thanks," I said sitting on his bed.

"Hey Frank, do you know someone called Gerard?" He asked looking at me.

"Yeah why," I said hesitantly.

"No reason they've just been talking about you a lot," he said smirking at me.

"Ray shut the fuck up," I heard Gerard say.

They stepped out from the corner and sat beside me, burying their face in my neck.

"I thought you were meeting your brother," I said leaning my heard on theirs.

"I am but I missed you," they mumbled kissing my neck.

"I missed you to but you should go before he goes on some sort of rampage," I said lifting my head off theirs.

They nodded and gave me a kiss before disappearing into the shadows.

"Why do you like them?" Ray asked leaning back onto his bed.

"Gerard's just really pretty you know? Plus they're really funny and sweet," I said sitting up.

Ray nodded and stood up.

"We should go outside I think the food will be ready soon," he said holding his hand out to pull me up.

This fic has practically been forgotten about but we'll dance again seems to be preferred to this one. Oh well. - keep running, Quinn
