Subway Train ➫ Frerard

chpt. forty-five ➫ moved out

gerard and frank loaded all the boxes into the moving truck and sat at the door exhaustedly.

"was that the last of 'em?" gerard asked frank.

"ah, yep." frank said as he patted the side of the truck. "that's it."

"here we go, frankie... leaving new york city." gerard smiled a bit sadly.

the two got into the car silently as gerard began driving off, but not before stopping at some very important places.

the first place he had stopped was the therapist offices. he and frank got out of the car to bid farewell to dr. toro just before he closed up for the day.

"ray! ray!" gerard called.

ray turned his head to see the two running towards him. "hey guys! are you moving already?"

frank nodded. "yeah... we just wanted to say a final thank you and goodbye."

"thank you ray for everything. we'll surely miss you." gerard and frank both embraced ray.

"aw guys," ray sniffled. "you're gonna make me cry."

"don't worry," frank chuckled. "i'll cry up enough for the both of us."

ray laughed. "i'll always miss your scary-ass mood swings and your tantrums, frank."

"thanks, haha." frank smiled.

"and gerard, i'll miss all those sessions we've shared together. how long has it been? two years?"

"two years, my man." gerard nodded.

"man, time flies," ray sighed. "i'll miss you guys very much."

"and we'll miss you too. thank you." the two smiled as they bid ray a fine farewell before driving to the bar near the school.

as they pulled up at the bar, they noticed bob wiping down the counters inside. frank and gerard stepped out of the truck and entered the noisy bar.

"hey guys." bob said with a bright smile.

"hey bob." the two said in unison.

"what are you doing here?" bob asked.

"we just wanted to say goodbye... we're moving today." frank bit his lip.

"damn, already?" bob clicked his tongue . "i'll miss you guys a whole lot. i'll always remember that awesome shoot out we had." bob chuckled.

"it wasn't that awesome." frank frowned.

"haha, we'll miss you too bob. thanks so much for everything." gerard said.

bob smiled. "no problem. thank you guys for always sharing the craziest moments with me. i'll miss you."

"we'll miss you, as well.. bye, bob!" the two exited with a quick wave and began piling back into the truck.

as they sat in the car, frank noticed that gerard wasn't igniting the engine.

"gerard?" frank snapped his fingers in front of gerard's face. "we gotta go, babe."

"i feel like i have to say goodbye to one last person... i already said bye to mikey over the phone this morning... ray, bob..."

"lyn-z?" frank pointed out the windshield to see the raven haired girl walking down the street.

"yes." gerard ran out of the truck and down the street to meet lyn-z.

he was flailing his arms, waiting for her to notice him. frank just watched gerard act like a complete idiot while running.

"gerard?" lyn-z called.

"lyn-z! i'm glad I caught you." gerard smiled.

"what happened?" she asked concerned.

"nothing.. i just wanted to say goodbye, and thank you. i'm moving away with frank, and i just didn't want our friendship to end abruptly." he said quickly.

"aw, gerard." the two shared a nice, friendly hug before gerard bid his farewells.

"thank you lyn-z, for all the crazy things you've done to me. and I'll totally miss you." gerard said genuinely.

"i'll miss you, too." lyn-z half-smiled.

gerard walked away from her feeling happy and accomplished.

"how'd it go?" frank yelled from the truck. gerard ran towards the driver's side of the truck and sat down.

"it went pretty well." gerard nodded, satisfied.

"now can we go?"

"one more thing."

gerard grabbed frank by the chin and shared a long, passionate kiss with him. he meant everything within it. the sparks flew around as they locked lips, it was as if they had just met all over again.

"I love you, frankie." gerard said, starting the engine.

"I love you, too, gee."

"no more subway trains, huh?" gerard chuckled.

"i will admit, i'm going to miss riding those back and forth." frank bit his lip.

"remember when we first met on one of those trains?"

"i remember every last bit of it."

gerard looked at frank out of the corner of his eye. "hi." he said after a long period of silence.

"hi." frank repeated. "my name is frank."

"my name is gerard."
