Best Friends /Frerard one shot/

Gerards pov

It was dark outside, the heavy New Jersey rain dripping down my shoulder length raven hair. I was on my way to see my best friend, Frank Iero.

Normally i'd be happy to see him, but today I was really dreading it. Today was the day  I had to tell him. Tell him that I was gay,maybe even tell him I've been in love with him for the last few months, I'd known for a while, I told my Mom and she was great about it. My brother Mikey knows, he wasn't bothered at all. He was just...Mikey. But they were the only ones who knew, my dad died when I was about 10, 5 years before.

I was outside the Iero Family home,  I was always welcome there, it was more my home than my Moms house was. I knocked on the door nervously, my knuckles Numb from the cold and wet NJ weather, oh the joys of living here.

Linda opened the door and welcomed me in hurriedly, she told me to get upstairs where Frank was and to change into some dry clothes as she washed and dryed mine. I wondered if all this kindness from Frank and his family would change once they knew. I hoped not.

I made my way upstairs and into Franks bed room, he looked quite nervous but put on a smile as he playfully punched my arm, he went to hug me but realised I was wet.

"Dude, why are you all wet?"he said to me smirking.

"Do you never open your curtains?" I said laughing.

Frank peeped through his slightly open blackout curtains and quickly shut them up tight.

"I hate storms" He said bitterly.  

I started to undress as Frank hid partially under his duvet.

"awww don't worry Fwankie, we can cuddle and watch the notebook so you get distwacted honey bunny" I said sarcastically. He laughed dryly and came out of hiding once I was decent. Linda came through the door with hot chocolate and marshmallows, along with some Pizza.

"Thanks Linda"

"Thanks Mom"

She left without a word, which I thought was quite odd, but she just knowingly glanced at Frank as she left.

Frank shifted from side to side, placing the tray of food in between us.

"Gerard- I- Uh, need to tell you something."

"Is that so?, so do I."

"Really? "

"Shall we settle this how we usually do?"

"No. uhm, this is kinda special"

I thought maybe he had gotten a  girlfriend or he had his first crush.

"Fine then. You can go first"

"Thanks. Well uh, For the past few months"Frank began, "I've kinda changed in a way I guess..."

"Go on..." I assured him.

"I'veKindaBeenInLoveWithYouForAFewMonthsPleaseDontHateMe...NotEvenKindaImeanILoveYouLikeSuperAlotAndImScaredYourGonnaHateMe"

I was shocked, he looked extremely worried, probably how I would've looked like if I'd have gone first.

"P...Please don't hate me"

"I could never hate you Frankie"

"So your okay with it?"

I shuffled closer to him and pecked his cheek "More than okay with it, infact, my news kinda went like that too"

He smiled "So, uh Gee, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Of course Frankie"

He leaned in and pecked my lips, we stayed cuddling,eating pizza and drinking hot chocolate in Franks bed, ignoring the storm outside and being content in eachothers company, not caring whatever the world would throw at us, aslong as we had eachother, we'd be okay.
