Frank and Gerard walked down the driveway to Frank's house-

Wait, if he was kicked out, does he still refer to it as his house? Frank was pondering that when Gerard stopped just beside the steps that lead to the front door and smiled down at Frank.

"You sure you wanna do this, Frankie?"

Frank looked up into Gerard's eyes. "Yeah. I think so."

Gerard kissed Frank's cheek before following him up the stairs and watching him knock on the door. Gerard was very nervous because he had no idea how Frank's parents would react when Frank told them that the two were dating. What if they hated Gerard?

Soon enough, a lady that looked slightly like Frank. She had his eyes and smile.

"Hi, Frank," She looked over at Gerard.  "Who's this?"

I smiled. "I'm Gerard,  ma'am."

"My boyfriend. "

Gerard looked over at Frank. He did realize he just dumped that on his mom, right?

Despite his fears, Gerard was surprised to be pulled into his mom's arms.

"Awe, honey! "

She smiled down at Gerard and then looked over at Frank.

"You two come on in. Your father's out."

Frank sighed in relief and grabbed Gerard's hand and lead him into the house. Gerard smiled as he entered the house once again. It felt like his second home. Frank's mom had made them something to eat and when they were seated,  she looked over at Frank.

"You better be good to Gerard,  Frankie."

Frank blushed and looked over at his mom.

"I am, Mom."

After a moment of silence, Gerard spoke without thinking.  "You seem very accepting of me and Frank's relationship. "

Mrs. Iero smiled at Gerard,  but Frank was the one to answer.

"Mom's cool with me. Dad... He's a dick."

Frank's mom scolded Frank for swearing but Gerard gave him a sad smile.

"I'm sorry, Frankie."

After they were done eating, Frank pulled Gerard upstairs.

"Your mom's pretty rad, " Gerard smiled as he sat on Frank's bed.

Frank grinned at Gerard and sat on his desk that was across the room and turned towards Gerard.

" When my dad gets back... " Frank trailed off. "Mom just agrees with Dad to save themselves from arguing. Even if it means kicking me out."

Gerard frowned at the floor. "That's kinda messed up."

Frank shrugged and leaned against the wall.

"Gee, when's Halloween? "

Gerard laughed. "Next week. Why?"

Frank shook his head, still grinning. "I can't believe we're dating and we don't know each others birthdays."

Gerard gasped and jumped up. "Holy shit.  Your birthday is on Halloween? You're so lucky!"

Frank smiled as he watched Gerard approach him and when he was in his reach, he grabbed Gerard by his waist and pulled him close and kissed him softly.

"Mhm, " Gerard sighed quietly as Frank pulled him onto his lap and let Gerard straddle his waist. 

"I love you, Sugar," Gerard said once they pulled apart.

Frank's eyes sparkled and he kissed Gerard one time before saying, "I love you, too, Gee."

Yeah, so I know the previous chapters, including this one, have been short.

It's because in the next few chapters, they're gonna be longer with way more going on.

XOXO
