BEING EDITED - Remove the dark - Frerard

Four

After about half an hour, Gerard drops the pencil and looks at the paper that presumably now has my face on it with a satisfied grin. Before showing me, he tells me "Next time, I'll make sure I have the right equipment... This is not my best work and I want to do your beautiful face as much justice as I can." He then turns it around for me to see. I suck in my breath and try my best to hold my pokerface, but damn, this is an incredible piece of art. 

"Would you sign that, please?" I ask him with a calm voice. He furrows his brows as he does what he's asked. After the quick scribble was put in the corner, I snatch it out of his hands with a polite "thank you" and make my way to my bed, where I paste the drawing to my wall.

"Why did you put it up there?" He asks me, still uncertain. 

"Because I don't have a mantlepiece to put it above and that's where stunning art usually goes." I tell him, trying to make him feel as confident as possible about the art he creates. "Can I now put my shirt back on, Gerard?" 

"No." He tells me as he grins from ear to ear. 

"Why n-"I try to object. It's quite chilly. But my protest is cut short as my lips are met with his. His lips feel softer than before, which is - I guess - an aftermath of the previous kiss we'd shared. He presses his full body against mine as our lips move together as one. We both let out a soft moan and we move down to lay on the bed. Gerard creates a little space between us and releases his hands from around my waist to the front of it. He's fiddling with the button of my jeans as I stop his trembling hands.

"Gerard, I don't think we're ready for this yet," I tell him. "You said you've never done anything like this before and I really want your first time having any sexual encounter to be special." His lips meet mine again, but his hands find their way up to my head again. "And I want to know all your soft spots before we do the deed," I add with a cheeky grin. 

"You're a sweetie," he mumbles against my lips. "We've only just met but I honestly have no idea what I did to deserve you." he adds in a dreamy tone. 

"You certainly don't deserve it if you continue to be the great tease you're currently being," I groan, while nodding down, aiming at how my dick was just having full on friction with something and now having none. 

"Anyhow," Gerard says, pushing himself up off the bed and standing in front of me. "I'm going to take a shower." He winks and quickly dashes into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. I lay on my back, stunned, for a second after flying after him and bashing my fist against the door.

"You fucking tease," I growl at him. I can hear him giggle on the other side of the door. I make another frustrated noise and walk to the sink. Passing the mirror between the bathroom door and kitchen area, I run a hand through my dark hair. I take a look at my lip. Would a lip ring maybe suit me? What would Gerard think of it? I walk back to the door. "Gerard?"

"What?" He replies. I can hear the water clattering from his naked body onto the floor. Why is he showering at 3am and what are the neighbours thinking right now?

"Do you know a good hairdresser?" I ask him, running a hand through my hair again, annoyed by how it gets in my eyes when it's not styled. 

"I can cut your hair later today, if you trust me enough?" I always style my hair anyway, fuck ups wouldn't even be noticeable.

"Yeah, that'd work too!" I tell him. "And uh,"

"Yeah?"

"What would you think if I got my lip pierced?" I ask him, scratching my head

"I think that'd be incredibly hot, but you wouldn't be allowed to kiss or give oral for at least six weeks after getting it done," Gerard replied. "I looked into it myself once, and even if I never had a relationship, the prospect of that really put me off and made me decide against it." Damn, boy has done his research.
