CHAPTER 20:

----Frank's POV---- 

My alarm went off at 7:30 in the morning, reminding me I did, in fact, have to get some work done today. The annoying buzzing sound continued to echo in my ears even as I climbed into the shower. 

While I was in the shower, I heard the door jiggle, as if someone were trying to shake it open. I had locked it so Ray or Mikey didn't walk in half-asleep and see me naked. The jiggling continued for 2 minutes, so I finally jumped out of the shower, ran to the door (soaking the floor in the process), and ran back to the sacred warm water. 

Gerard opened the door, already fully dressed, with his hair messily brushed. I looked at him, confused.

He walked over to the sink and started brushing his small, nicotine-stained teeth with my stares following him. Finally, when he was done, he whipped around and yelled, "What are you staring at, Frank?!" 

I was taken aback by this explosion. I tripped over my words for a moment before finally being able to get out, "Why are you up so early?" 

He smiled mischievously. "I'll be back later," he said, not acknowledging my question. He walked over to the shower, and slid the glass door open completely, exposing my naked body to the cold air. He slowly looked me up and down before leaning in to kiss me. 

I kissed him slowly and deeply, our tongues exploring each other's mouths. He pulled away first. 

"Don't miss me too much, Frankie." He winked and sauntered toward the door, closing and locking it behind him. 

I spent the rest of my shower, which had gone cold, wondering where he could be going. He'd been practically living with me for the last four days. He slept in my bed, ate my food, drove my car, and wore the clothes that were too big because they were purchased when people still thought I would grow... They were wrong. 

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a huge noise in the kitchen. I quickly jumped out and wrapped a fluffy blue towel that nearly reached to the floor on me around my waist. I scurried out of the bathroom and followed the continuing loud bangs and crashes from the far side of my house. 

I found Ray and Mikey, standing in the middle of the living room. Ray had a fire extinguisher in his hand and Mikey had developed an interest in staring at his own bare feet. Ray was scolding him for something. 

"What the fuck is going on here?" I asked, entering the room, still dripping from not drying off properly.

Their heads flicked up to look at me, like deer in headlights. 

"Oh.... Frank, hi! I thought you had left with Gee..." Ray stuttered nervously. 

"Well I didn't. What was that loud noise?" 

Ray looked expectantly at Mikey, who was avoiding both of our eyes. 

"I... May have, possibly.... Stuck a fork in your toaster...." Mikey admitted. 

I threw my head back in exasperation. "Goddamnit, Michael Way! Didn't you learn when you did that on tour?!" 

He glared at me briefly for using his full name, and then fell back into guilty silence. I walked quickly to the kitchen to inspect the damage. Luckily, there wasn't as much as our tour bus had suffered when this same thing happened. I'd definitely have to get a new toaster and do some hardcore scrubbing on the counter, but nothing permanent thankfully. 

I walked back to the living area to face Mikey. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Mikes. You owe me a new toaster, but nothing is permanently damaged. Don't fuck with anymore of my appliances. I'm gonna go dry off and get dressed, and then I need to go do some work in my office. You both are more than welcome to stick around until Gee turns up." They both smiled. 

I stood up and motioned for Mikey to follow suit. He did, and we hugged. 

I looked at Ray. "Watch him please. No more incidents." He nodded and grinned. 

Then we parted ways. 

~~~~~ TIME LAPSE~~~~~ 

I was in my office working for about two hours. It was boring paper work for my record label, but it had to be done. 

I was on the verge of falling asleep when a loud crash and a scream came from the entryway. 

"Fuck, Mikey. I swear if you broke my microwave, I'm gonna kill you!" I cursed under my breath. 

I ventured out to see what the commotion was about. I was rounding a corner into the main hallway when I ran into a strange man. When I got my footing back, I studied the man. 

He was skinny and pale and looked a lot like Gerard, except he had short, jet-black hair. After a moment's thought, I realized this man was my boyfriend. He had left to get his hair cut and dye it. There was no trace of his bright red locks that I had become so attracted to. 

But this new hair made Gerard look more grown up. It was like he had aged about 5 year in a matter of hours. 

I almost had a heart attack before I started liking his new hair. 

"So??" He asked. "What do you think?" 

"Gee, I love it!!!" 

A wave of relief washed over his face and he picked me up playfully to hug me. I was eye-level with him for the first time in a long time. I had forgotten how beautiful his eyes were. They gave away his every emotion. They truly were windows to his soul. 

"You look very sexy, Gerard. I can't wait to see what this new hair looks all sexed up." I wink and kiss him aggressively. 

He laughed into the kiss. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside... Fuck. Love was turning me into a cliche teenage girl. 

For the first time, I thought about my past relationships. Compared to what I had with Gerard, nothing even registered as real love anymore. 

But was this really love?
