The front door slammed shut.

"Hey! I'm back!"

Gerard looked up from his sketchpad.

"Oh, hey."

There was a rustling of shopping bags and keys.

Gerard put down his sketchpad and got up from the sofa.

Frank entered the room, juggling about six different bags.

"Geez," Gerard smirked, "Got enough there?"

Frank rolled his eyes and tried to make his way into the kitchen.

"Need some help?"

"I'm fine, thanks," Frank nudged past him.

He was obviously struggling though.

"Seriously," Gerard tried to grab some of the bags, "You're barely moving."

"Look, it's fine," Frank yanked the bags out of reach.

Gerard frowned.

This wasn't normal.

"Why are you acting weird?"

"I'm not," Frank sighed.

"Then why can't I-"

Frank ignored him and headed into the kitchen.

Before he was two steps inside though, he managed to drop one of the bags.

"Shit," He grumbled and tried to pick it back up.

"For fuck sake," Gerard leant down to pick it up.

"Leave it!" Frank pulled the bag out of Gerard's hand.

Gerard wouldn't let go though.

What was the big deal?

He pulled back and soon they were wrestling over it.

Eventually, Frank managed to get ahold of it but in doing so, dropped the rest of the bags.

"Shit!"

They both stopped and looked at the mess on the ground.

Soon, Frank was down in a flash, shoving things back into the bags.

Gerard watched him silently before something caught his eye.

He frowned and slowly picked it up.

"Frank...?"

Frank looked up.

His eyes widened when he saw what Gerard had found.

He froze.

"Shit! No, don't look at that!"

He scrambled to his feet.

"Give it back!"

He grabbed for it but Gerard held it out of reach.

Frank bit his lip frantically.

Gerard could feel his heart in his throat as he opened the little box.

"Shit."

A silver ring shone up at him.

Frank was silent.

After staring down at the ring for a few painfully long moments, Gerard looked back at Frank.

Frank was looking down, his foot scuffing at the floor.

"What... What is this...?" Gerard asked.

Frank shrugged, still looking down.

"It was meant to be a surprise..." He mumbled.
