You're Perfectly Perfect To Me (Frerard)

Part 27. Shivers

A/N: It's been forever, but finally I got this part done :)

A couple hours later, I got back home with my childhood friends. My newer friends had also gone to their home and we had agreed to meet at least Gerard, Ray and Mikey at the record store tomorrow at noon. Lindsey and Jamia weren't sure if they were coming.

We ended up spending the rest of the night watching a movie and then talking about random stuff in my room until we decided to get ready for bed.

"So, Joel... Are you gonna switch places with me for tonight?" Alex asked after we had all brushed our teeth and changed to comfier clothes. Ollie and Tom had already gone to the guest room.

"Yeah, I guess I can. At least it's easier for me to go for a run in the morning without waking you guys up", Joel answered. Alex nodded and smiled at him thankfully.

"Speaking of which, can I borrow your keys again tomorrow morning?" he asked me.

"Yeah, sure. I'm not gonna leave you out in the cold just because you need your exercise", I answered with an amused chuckle.

"Thanks", Joel said and smiled at me.

"Try not to slip and fall if there's snow", I reminded him.

"Yeah, I'll try", he said as he flopped himself on the mattress on the floor. I climbed into my bed and Alex followed my example.

The next morning went by pretty much the same as the previous one. After we had all woken up, eaten breakfast and gotten ready we packed ourselves again in Tom's car and started heading towards the record store.

We arrived at the record store about fifteen minutes before noon. My friends went to look at the records while waiting for my other friends and I went to talk with Scott.

"Hey, Frank. I was thinking that maybe the Christmas gig should be on the Saturday before Christmas. So it would be 21st of December since Christmas eve is on Tuesday", Scott said and smiled at me as I walked over to him and greeted him.

"Yeah, sure. Sounds great", I said and smiled at him.

"Have you got any responses from the others?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah. You remember Jane and Sebastian, right?" Scott asked. I nodded.

"They said that they're happy to do it too. Also there's this guy, Andy, who promised to play a song there too. He plays cello", Scott answered my question.

"Okay, that's cool", I said and smiled at him.

Scott was just about to say something when the bell chimed. I turned to look at the door, just to see Gerard, Mikey, Jamia and Ray step into the record store. I walked over to them and greeted the others before giving a quick kiss on Gerard's cheek. He blushed a little, making me smile. I know we hadn't really shown affection in front of others, so I understood that it was new to him. But I knew everyone there approved us so why not. And it wasn't like we were making out in front of them, it was just a little kiss.

Soon we all went downstairs and my Baltimore friends started playing for us.

It was about five pm when I was standing on our driveway saying goodbye to my friends and hugging them as they were leaving. After spending an hour or two at the record store, we all went for coffee together and then we went home to have dinner with my mom around three pm. After the dinner we had just hung out in my room talking and listening to music. Now all of their bags were packed into the car and they were ready to start the three hour drive home.
