Waysexual

9. In an AU Where Only 3 People Ship Frerard

"You gonna be okay here? I mean, by yourself?" Gerard asked.

"I dunno..." Frank really didn't want to admit that Ghost Adventures had scared him shitless or that he really, really wanted Gerard to stay and cuddle him because Frank was an awkward shit.

"I guess I should go home. It's really late," Gerard said, really hoping that Frank would let him stay.

"Can... Can you like stay?" Frank stuttered, making Gerard smirk.

"Of course," Gerard assured and kissed Frank's neck. It wasn't sexual, just very loving. But it did turn Frank on. Like a lot. But Frank ignored the growing pain between his legs because he liked playing hard to get with Gerard. He also really liked that he hadn't slept with Gerard Way and the senoir was still really into him, like dating wise.

"Good. You can sleep in my bed... but no funny business," Frank said. He didn't like repeating himself, he just didn't want to have to revisit the scene at Patrick Stump's party where Gerard was really upset that he had been rejected.

"I solemnly swear," Gerard raised his right hand, kissing Frank afterwards. Frank Iero had never giggled this much in his life, but Gerard Way made Frank feel some feelings that he really hadn't ever felt before.

Frank Iero had been taunted his whole life. People always told him that he'd never find love. But there he was, proving them wrong, although he wouldn't call it love... more of like.

"I like you a lot," Gerard said, cuddling against Frank.

"I like you a lot, too." Frank was in like with Gerard and it was fucking weird to say that, but being in love seemed too much of a white, teenager girl thing to say. And Frank was a boy.

"I don't want sex, Frank. I just..." Gerard was at a loss for words. And that rarely ever happened for Gerard Way because he was a fucking cocky little shit, but now he was just as nervous as Frank. "I want to be your boyfriend."

"I want that, too, Gerard," Frank laid his head on Gerard's chest. Gerard was content with that, but a long awkward silence filled the room. Frank didn't like it. He wanted Gerard to ask him to be his boyfriend. He wanted that label. And Gerard wanted it too. Like, it was a little hard for both of the boys to just sit in silence, even if no one stole their car radios. They just sat in silence.

"Gerard."

"Frank."

"Will you be my boyfriend?" Gerard only kissed Frank. "That didn't answer my question," Frank said. Gerard sighed, not really wanting to fuck up his answer with his shaky voice because he was on top of the fucking moon, if that made any sense.

"Yes, Frankie," Gerard smirked.

"Yay!" Frank giggled and kissed Gerard's neck. "You're my first boyfriend," Frank admitted, sheepishly.

"You're my first boyfriend, too."

"You've only had girlfriends?"

"No."

"Only me?" Frank asked, more excited than he should be.

"Yup. So I'm just as inexperienced as you."

"So if I fuck up a little, it's okay?" Frank asked.

"Anything you do will always be okay by me," Frank giggled again as Gerard boopped his nose. After a while Frank fell asleep, leaving Gerard to hold Frank while he slept.

Gerard Way had never cuddled with anyone. He never thought he'd intend to either. But Frank Iero was different. He didn't want Gerard's body. He wanted Gerard for Gerard, not his body (well that wasn't entirely true, but you get the gist). And that was enough to make Gerard the happiest kid on the planet, maybe even the whole universe. Because he found a boyfriend and a fucking adorable one as well.
