Floating in the Waves (Frerard) (AU)

Chapter 7

Gerard couldn't sleep. He couldn't stop thinking about Frank. 

Gerard just felt really bad for poor Frank, who had no family or friends other than Mikey and himself. 

Suddenly, Gerard found himself back in front of the bathroom door. 

Frank's in there. Gerard thought as he placed his hand on the knob. 

He turned the knob, and quietly entered the bathroom. 

Gerard didn't know why he suddenly wanted to be close to Frank. Maybe he was just lonely and wanted to be with someone other than his brother, who Gerard loved, but still; he couldn't be with just his brother around the clock. 

Frank mumbled something in his sleep that sounded suspiciously like Gerard's name, but Gerard brushed it off. 

That was cute. Gerard thought, smiling.

Frank suddenly moved, and Gerard was afraid that he was going to wake up and catch him just standing there and watching him. 

No, he wasn't waking up; just moving in his sleep. Frank draped his arm over the edge of the bathtub. 

He looks so uncomfortable. Gerard thought sadly.

As Gerard left the bathroom, he was hit with a sudden thought that just wouldn't get out of his head. 

I like Frank. He thought as he made his way back to his bedroom. 

As he got into bed, Gerard kept thinking about Frank. As he fell asleep, he still thought about Frank. 

Gerard was certain that when he woke up, he'd still be thinking about Frank.
