Diseased [Frerard] [Petekey]

Chapter 20

Mikey- *next day*

"Hey Pete, would you like to come with me to a bar this friday?" I asked my boyfriend.

"You mean, like a date?" he winked.

"More or less, I guess. Gerard and Frank will be there", I shrugged.

"Dang, who asked who?" Pete laughed.

"Frank to Gerard, definitely. Gerard invited me to go along", I explained.

"Damn, that's harsh", he chuckled. "That's some friend zone level shit".

"Well, they barely even know eachother", I pointed out.

"I knew when you said your first sentence to me I was in like with you", Pete batted his eyelashes.

"Whatever", I smiled and blushed.

Pete rolled his eyes at my disbelief. He shrugged it off, however. He hugged me before we parted ways to go off to our own cars. Tomorrow, I'd be able to go on a "kind of double date" with him and I was extremely excited.

I got home and Gerard wasn't there. I assumed he was at his new job, so I changed and went back to my car to go and see him. I walked in and Gerard was leaned over the table, talking to his new friend Frank.

He was blushing and smiling and the look in his eyes was full of wonder. He was falling in like.

I never thought Gerard was gay, but I'm sure he never thought he was gay. There was a slight tint of confusion in those hazel eyes.

I went to the front of the restaurant where a guy named "Hurley" took my order. He had glasses and long hair but his body was covered in tattoos and he looked pretty cool.

I went to Frank's table. Gerard didn't know I was there until I went over. He shot up, standing with a straight posture.

"I totally forgot I had a job to do", he giggled.

"Go, I'll talk to you in a bit if I just so happen to order another coffee", he teased.

I could tell he had already gone through four and he was on his fifth.

How'd I know? The four empty cups on the table and the cup he was sipping on.

When Gerard walked away, Frank's eyes trailed after him before he caught my teasing glare. I held back a smile as his face reddened and he looked down, smirking.

"Oooh", I teased. "Do you like my brother?"

Frank shot his head up and Gerard spun on his heel to face me.

"No", they said at the same time.

I wanted to die with laughter, but another worker brought me my drink. I thanked her and she walked away. Frank seemed tense.

"What's wrong? Besides your new crush of course", I giggled.

"That chick is my ex from when I lived here", he looked down. "And now she works with Gerard".

"What's her name?" I whispered.

"Jamia", he told me. "We only broke up because I moved away".

"Did you move away to break up?" I asked.

"No, she understood why I left. I haven't tried to contact her since I got back", I explained.

"Is it because of Gerard?" I asked.

He shot me a menacing glare and I backed off. I told him I had some extra work to finish and excused myself.

Frank-
