Not The Average Friendship (Frerard) (I DONT OWN THIS FAN FIC ITS BY GDB123)

Chapter 26: Surprise

(smut warning <><>)

"Where are we going?" Gerard laughed as Frank merged onto the freeway.

"New York." Frank grinned, his eyes on the road. "Since we can't go out on a date in Jersey, I thought were could go in New York."

"You're taking me on a date?"

"It's long overdue." Frank glanced at Gerard, blindly grabbing for his hand. "Plus, you'll love where we're going."

"Which is where, exactly?"

"It's a surprise." Frank grinned again. "No more questions."

Gerard bit his lip excitedly, turning his head away from Frank so he wouldn't be able to see his red cheeks.

No one had taken him on a date before, unless you count going out to the bar, which Gerard didn't.

The ride was quiet besides the radio, but it was the most comfortable silence Gerard had ever felt.

He didn't need any conversation, all he needed was Frank's hand in his.

Traffic was hell when they reached New York, and it took them about a half hour in standstill traffic until Frank finally pulled into a parking garage.

Finding parking on the street would be near impossible, so Frank decided to spend the extra amount to get a parking spot.

"I love the city." Gerard sighed once they were on the streets of New York. "So many interesting things."

"Yeah?" Frank smiled, watching as Gerard observed everything. "This way, handsome."

He pulled his blushing boyfriend down the street then, and after a while, pulled him into a quiet coffee shop.

Gerard was breathless the second they stepped inside.

The coffee shop was decorated heavily with framed art, but not just any art, comic art.

"Woah-" Gerard rushed out, pulling away from Frank to admire a piece on the wall. "Holy shit, that is so cool-"

Frank just watched with an adoring smile as Gerard admired the pieces on the wall, resisting the urge to laugh every time he thought out loud about something.

Gerard was captivated by all the art, so Frank decided to head over to the counter and order them some drinks, considering he knew what Gerard's favorite coffee was.

But even after the drinks were made he couldn't bring himself to distract Gerard, he seemed so mesmerized by the art, Frank didn't want to disturb that.

So instead he just seated himself at a table near all the art, watching in awe as Gerard spent minutes admiring each one.

He looked like a kid in a candy store, and before Frank even realized what he was doing, he was taking a picture of Gerard.

That's when Gerard realized he had been hypnotized, and he blushed violently and sat down at the table with Frank.

"This place is so cool." He muttered quietly, sipping at his lukewarm coffee as he continued to gaze around the room discretely.

"I thought you'd like it." Frank smiled happily to himself, taking a drink of his own coffee, and cheering himself for getting it iced.

"How'd you find it?"

"Mom used to live here... I just asked if she knew of any artsy coffee shops, and it was fate she mentioned the comics one."

"Hmm." Gerard hummed to himself, his sole focus still on all the art. "Oh god, I'm so sorry, this is a date, I should be paying attention to you-"
