Bulletproof Heart (Teacher/Student Frerard)

Interlude

A/N: wow, I can't believe this has 2.7k and 13 chapters, I guess I should have them fuck sooner or later, hm? alright, enjoy this update that i knew you guys wanted bc cliffhangers are fun to write but bad to read. i also felt like you guys needed this clarification

Frank's POV

Gerard was standing at the bottom of the staircase in the basement, looking dead at me. He let out a cough.

"What did you mean by that?" He asked softly.

"I feel like I should clarify: I don't know if I love you." He raised an eyebrow, and I patted the spot next to me on the couch.

"I'll get you sick."

"I don't care. Let's talk." Gerard slowly walked over, sitting next to me.

"Listen, when I said that I didn't love you, I didn't mean that I don't have feelings for you, because I do." Gerard nodded, eyes glued to the ground.

"To me, love means trust. Let's be honest, I've fucked a lot of guys. And I didn't love any of them, and they didn't love me either. That's just how it was. I was an easy fuck, and people knew it. I'm not saying that I don't trust you."

"Then what are you saying?"

"Let me finish, please." Gerard nodded. He was playing with his thumbs. "I'm scared to trust people now. I.. I don't know how to word this."

"Is it because of your mom?" I nodded, leaning on his shoulder. He ran his fingers through my hair. "I understand. I just wanted to put it out there that I do love you."

Jason made eye contact with me, solemnly nodding. "So, online classes?" He asked, sitting next to me in the dim basement.

"I broke a guy's nose. I think that's enough school for me." The second I brushed my hair out of my face, I could feel Jason's eyes on me, analysing everything.

Gerard walked down the stairs, an ice pack in hand. "The swelling will go down. I have some Tylenol if you need it." He handed me the ice pack, pecking my lips quickly before walking back upstairs.

"He seems to be feeling better." Jason noted. "He's been taking care of you?" That was his way of asking what exactly happened to my face, and I know that he knew.

"You can stop staring." I said after a few minutes.

"Sorry, I-"

"I went to get my boxes from my mom's. She apparently heard about the whole fight thing, and this happened. It would've been a lot worse if Ray didn't show up."

"Did he say anything about it after?" I pressed the ice pack to my face, shaking my head.

"He never does. He promised when I was smaller."

"That must be pretty small, because you're a midget." Jason nudged my shoulder, and we both chuckled.

"Alright, I think that's enough." Gerard was watching the both of us, then looked down at his phone. Heat rose to my cheeks.

"I get it, I get it. Hands off your lover, alright." Gerard glared at Jason.

"He's-"

"Gerard is my 'fairly attractive lover.'" Jason turned his head toward me, eyebrows slightly raised.

"Oh, so he's your lover, not the other way around." I smirked.

"Correct."

"Claiming someone as your own usually is a sign of dominance."

"I think you guys should stop this conversation while you're ahead." Gerard interrupted.

"Why? We're just talking about you. Is there a problem?" I put on my best puppy dog face, and Jason laughed.

"You're talking about me. In bed. That's personal."

"Fine, I'll make it impersonal then?" I turned to Jason. "Gerard is terrible in bed. Absolutely fuckin' horrible. He doesn't even last five minutes." I leant back, watching as Gerard's face turned red.

"Okay, first of all, none of that is true. Secondly," He turned to me. "We haven't even fucked? What the fuck?"

"You're so flustered. This is amusing. Frank, keep talking." Jason said, and I opened my mouth. Gerard shot me a look, and I stopped.

"Fine. I'm done." I said with a chuckle, placing the ice pack that I had set down back on my face.

"Alright, I gotta get back to the school. They're having an assembly, so I had more time off." Jason stood up, then paused.

"Oh yeah, Gee, I got you something." He reached into the bag he had brought with him, handing something to Gerard.

"You.. got me a bath bomb?" Gerard looked confused, and so did I.

"Yeah. But there's aroma stuff to help with your congestion and stuff like that. Also, uh.. It looks like you're getting Frank a little sick, too, if you catch my drift."

Gerard placed a hand on my laptop, shutting it.

"Hey, I was working on that." I then noticed his attire.

Gerard was shirtless, a towel hanging loosely around his hips.

"I have the water running. You coming?" He asked casually. I stood up quickly, nodding vigorously.

Gerard was stepping into the tub by the time I walked into the bathroom, completely naked.

"You really do have a nice ass."

"Hey!" He called out as I smacked it, chuckling.

I stepped into the fairly large jacuzzi, sliding next to Gerard. The water was a dark blue and very hot.

"God, you can stretch out, you know. Don't have to.. be right up on me." He was turning red.

"You're hard, aren't you." I said. Gerard nodded, and I now knew the source of the ambient splashing.

I watched as Gerard's face contorted, then suddenly relaxed.

"You messed up the colour scheme of the water." I said, gesturing to the strips of white. He shook his head.

"No no, there's a couple of white flower petals. I'm fine." Gerard closed his eyes, pressing a button and sinking down into the tub. I felt the jets turn on.

"You'll turn into a prune." I noted, and Gerard chuckled.

"We all become wrinkly, don't we, though?" I stood up, stepping out of the tub. Gerard opened his eyes, watching me.

"Well I'm going to go and continue my work." I pecked his cheek. "This was sweet, though."
