------------------
Gerard:
*beep beep* *beep beep* I groan as I look at my phone."ugh. 7:00AM. I have to go to work." I pick up a random pair of black skinny jeans and a T-shirt with 'The Black Flag' on it. I throw my clothes on and fly through the house and out through the front door.

When I finally arrive at work, I overhear the manager of the shop talking to someone. "And this is the back of the shop, where we keep all our vinyls and CDs in case we run out of stock." I hear a reply saying "okay" in the most adorable voice I have ever heard. But i am very shocked at myself for thinking this... Because the reply was a man's voice. What is up with me today?

I make my way into back of the shop where the voices are being heard and i am frozen at the sight of this new employee. When this amazing man noticed me, he beams a wide smile across his face at me, and i look away in Embarrassment. "Hello! My name is Frank, and I am new here, Mr. Toro, - the manager - said you would help me out this week?"

Frank. Of course. Mr. Toro had said there was going to be a new worker coming and i had totally forgotten. I remember the time that Mr. Toro told me about Frank, i just groaned and rolled my eyes because i am a very independent individual. Well, now all of my past thoughts have changed. Frank looks so innocent and kind, even with his tattoos, and I suddenly feel a wave of excitement flow over me to start work with Frank.
------------------
Frank:
"Hello! I'm Frank. Mr. Toro said you would help me out this week?" I say this as warmly as possible, but maybe I didn't say it as warmly as I thought because Gerard just stood there staring for a while, it would be impossible to know what he is thinking as his face is totally blank from expression. I stare right back at him, waiting for some rude reply as I usually do whenever I talk to anybody. Why do people have such a problem with gays? I don't know.

Finally, his face gets some expression again, and goes bright red. He avoids looking in my eyes and mumbles "Hi, I'm Gerard, yeah I'm helping you this week." Very awkwardly. He is adorable, his long black hair is like nothing I've ever seen before, on a man at least, but he is probably straight anyway, so I should probably just do my work with him, nothing else.
-----------------
Gerard:
He keeps giving me these big warm, reassuring smiles, and I somehow feel that we are gonna be friends. Not anything else, because I am straight.*cough* Single, but straight. Just keep telling yourself that Gerard, and you'll be fine. He probably has a girlfriend anyway with his warm smile and kindness, and great looks.

Frank smiles again and says "I am excited to start work with you Gerard! Where do we start?" Oh right, yeah work. "Oh, not yet um...the shop doesn't uh...open for another umm...hour, we have a whole um..half hour before we have to um..start re stocking and work and um..shit. Umm... We could have a cup of um... Coffee and get to um... Know each other if you um... Want?" Oh God. Why do I have to be so awkward. Frank jumps with excitement and energy as he replies with a confident "yeah that'd be cool!"
------------------
Frank:
We sit down in the cozy staff room in the back, and I sit down on one of the leather seats in front of the transparent, black coffee table while Gerard gets our coffee.

When Gerard comes back, I expect Gerard to sit in the leather seat on the opposite side of the coffee table, but instead he comes and sits next to me, and he must have seen the shocked look on my face because he said "oh, i-i can move over- over there, if you want, sorry." He mutters in Embarrassment. Omg he is so cute! Before Gerard moves, I quickly say, "no it's totally fine! It's just a guy has never chosen to sit next to me before..." Oh God. Why did I say that? Now he will know I'm gay and I think he's an adorable potato and he will think I'm a freak and hate me forever. Ugh.
------------------
Gerard:
I am now questioning his sexuality after this strange comment. "Um, Frank?" I ask. I guess I am starting to feel more comfortable around him now, I mean, we are only human. "Y-yes Gerard?" He quickly answers, still very awkwardly. "Do you mind me asking what your sexuality is?" He blushes pink again. "I just ask everyone new that works here, just so we have an understanding of each other." I lied.
------------------
Frank:
Shit! Did he just ask me for my sexuality? Oh no! I answer him honestly though."Um... I am gay, and I know you now have a problem with me because you think I probably like yo-"
"No No No Frank. It is fine that you are gay. I would tell you my sexuality but it's hard to think right now. I don't know what happened, but ever since I walked in the shop this morning, I have strongly questioned my sexuality. Before I walked into the shop, I was straight. Ever since I heard your voice from the start, i don't know what happened, I guess I've become sexually ambiguous." Gerard interrupts. What did he mean ever since he heard my voice? Does he... Like me?

We stare at each other for a second, then in sync, we both say "Frank/Gerard, do you...have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" Then giggle for a sec, and again, in sync, "no, I am single. *sigh*" then we start giggling again. Gerard takes a sip of his coffee and says "I don't know. I have been asked out a few times, but no girl has ever seemed to be right for me. I don't know why. I don't know. Maybe I am gay." I look at him confusedly. "Haha I told you I am sexually ambiguous. I will think about it tonight and update you tomorrow" Gerard laughs. Then suddenly has that same blank look on his face as he did in the doorway before."God your eyes are so adorable. You could die in those eyes!" I cough and he suddenly jumps up and apologises too many times. "Why are you apologising, Gerard, I am gay you remember out conversation 2 minutes ago?" I laugh, but also half serious. Gerard sighs and sits down, my sexual ambiguous feeling, is just me trying to hold back me being gay. I mean its obvious I am attracted to you. So why don't I just let it go? In fact I will right here and now." He says. I don't know how to feel.
------------------
Gerard:
"Gerard, I have realised that all this time, since I first saw you in the doorway, to us talking right now, I have loved you, and your gorgeous long, black locks." He says just after his face light up again. For the third time in the 20 minutes we have been sitting here, we stare at each other. But this time, directly into each others eyes. We both find ourselves moving closer to each other until our foreheads meet. I let Frank decide what to do next. He does what I am hoping he will do, and he pushes his soft lips against my rough, chapped ones, but he doesn't seem to care.

When we eventually pull apart, Mr. Toro comes in saying the shop opens in half hour so we have to prepare. But all I can think about is the kiss. All day long.
------------------
Frank:
I kissed him. I just kissed Gerard! He is such a good kisser. It isn't the longest kiss because after we pull apart, Mr. Toro comes in telling us to start work. Either way, I kissed him!!!

We tidy all the shelves up and make all the Vinyls and CDs in Artist order, and re stock any that have sold out. Right after we finish, we open the shop and customers start piling
We decide to work together behind the counter as after a couple of hours, not many people walked in.
"Do you want to come to my house after work, Frank?" Gerard asked. "My brother, Mikey would really like you! But I want you to be there when I tell my family I'm.... Gay too..." Awe! Gerard is inviting me round! I can't wait to meet Mikey! I always wanted a brother! But I am an only child. It was really boring growing up on my own! "Of course I'll come! I will help you talk to your parents! If they don't accept you, then screw them! You can live with me!" We then kiss again quickly and pay attention to our job, as the shop was starting to get busy again!
