Frank woke up around three in the morning the next day beside Gerard in his bed. Gerard was still asleep, his mouth slightly open and he was almost silently snoring. He looked very adorable, in Frank's opinion.

While Frank lay awake, he allowed himself to think about his life for a while. He thought how much it hurt that his parents practically shunned him for his sexuality. It totally was unfair. In all honesty, it was Justin's fault. If Frank's dick of a brother hadn't told, everything would be okay. But, of course, with Frank Iero nothing was okay.

Frank then let himself think about Gerard. They hadn't exactly said it out loud, but Frank kinda figured that they were dating.He hoped they were dating. Gerard was ultimately the only good thing in his life, rather than Pete and Hailey. Gerard made Frank feel different from anyone else. He made him feel welcome and loved. Gerard made him feel like he was worth something.

Then Frank thought about the fact he'd lose Gerard in about a year. A year to love Gerard. It was fucked up, to say the least, but Frank really did love Gerard in the short time they'd known each other. Frank Iero had actually fallen for someone. Now, Frank wasn't exactly a player but he hardly ever fell in love with anyone. Gerard had changed him, for better or for worse. Frank really didn't want to fall for Gerard, but it was inevitable. He just wanted to be with Gerard forever, but fate had ruined that.

Now, in about three hours, seeing as how it was four in the morning then, Gerard and Frank would be explaining Frank's problem with his parents. Of course, they were going to leave out the part the two boys we're dating so that they had a better chance of getting Frank to stay. If Frank was able to stay, then he'd be absolutely fine. If not, however he'd probably have to stay with Pete and yeah Pete was his best friend, he was annoying as fuck.
You could call him a bad friend, but just try to be around Pete for more than a minute.

Anyway, Frank's future most definitely was in the palm of Ms. Way's hand. Frank was super anxious and when Gerard woke up a while later, he grew even more so.

"G'morning, " Gerard sighed out as he stretched.

Frank smiled up at Gerard as he sat up. "Your bed head is adorable, " He said as he reached out and ran his hand through Gerard's red hair.

Gerard blushed and leaned into Frank's touch. "I'mma shower. You can, too," He gave Frank a look," After I get out, " Gerard added.

Frank pouted. "Awe, why not, sweetheart."

Gerard rolled out of bed and rolled his eyes. "Because."

Gerard grabbed clothes from his dresser, pecked Frank's lips, and rushed into the bathroom. When he emerged again, he was wearing a black band tee, black skinny jeans, and bright ass blue socks.

"You're very colorful today, " Frank teased.

Gerard flipped him off. "Shut up and get in the shower. "

Frank grabbed his clothes from his bag and walked into Gerard's bathroom, shutting the door behind him. He took a decently long shower and dressed in his black tee, black jeans, and, you guessed it, black socks. He also slid on his red fingerless gloves. After he brushed his teeth and attempted to brush his hair, he walked out and sat on Gerard's lap. Gerard kissed Frank's nose and smiled up at him.

"You ready to ask my mom? "

Frank sighed and wrapped his arms around Gerard's neck. "I guess. "

"Well, c'mon. "

They both stood and padded down the hall to where Ms. Way was fixing pancakes. When she saw Frank, shock covered her features but she eventually smiled.

"Well, I guess I should make more pancakes, " She laughed.

Frank could honestly pass out from relief right then.
