Do You Miss Me? (Gerard Way x Reader)

We Can Make It Up Again (Pt. 2)

Gerard gets up off the floor and moves to the tiny bathtub in the corner of the room, turning a handle so water begins to flow from the faucet.
He places his hand in the water and adjusts the positions of the handles, changing the temperature.
"They haven't bathed you in four days." He says as he grabs some towels from a hook, placing them on a small table near the tub. He turns the water off and glances towards me. "Do you, uhh," His hand moves to the back of his neck, "do you need any help?"  I shake my head no and walk myself over to the tub, gently placing a finger in to check its temp. 
I hear the door beginning to close.
"Wait." I grab Gerard's attention. "Please don't leave." He nods and faces the wall as I undress myself and quickly slip into the tub. I play with the bubbles surrounding me.
It's a nice feeling of being surrounded, its light and airy.
I see Gerard turn around and come closer, kneeling down once he gets to the tub.
He grabs a bar of soap and starts gently washing my arm, being as careful as possible.
He glides the bar up and down, creating mounds of thin bubble layers appear on my small arm.
"Is this okay?" Gerard glances up to look at me, momentarily stopping the movement of his hand. (without context that sounds bad but it isnt ffs lmao) I slowly nod and he continues to wash my arm, moving to the next one.
He gingerly washes my legs and stands up, walking towards the door and once again turns to face the wall.
I grab a towel, quickly drying myself before putting on some clothes.
Walking up to him, I take his hand. "Thank you." And then I let it go as we both float back into the room.

The next day I wake up to birds chirping and bright sunlight.
Gerard is dozing off in the chair next to my bed.
I hop up and gently place a stray piece of hair behind his ear, which makes him smile in his deep slumber.
Walking over towards the window, I open the blinds up, letting the bright rays litter the room.
"Five more minutes Mom." Gerard groans and I just about fall on the floor laughing. Gerard opens his eyes and looks at me, puzzled. "What?" He flashes a nervous smile and I continue to die of laughter.
I finally suppress my laughter and start filling out release papers so I can go home today.
Home.
Away from Gerard.
Gerard?
Whenever Gerard is around It never comes around.
Without Gerard.....
I stop breathing, stop everything, and crash to the floor, lying on my side and hugging my knees against my chest. Gerard kneels down, firmly grasping my shoulders and bringing me in so my head rests on his chest.
"Y/N?" He says as he strokes my hair.
"I'll never see you again." I say between sobs, "When you leave, It comes back." My body shakes violently against Gerard, and I continue to choke back sobs.
I don't like people seeing me cry.
 "I'm not going to leave you." I raise my head and look right into his beautiful green eyes. He takes his thumb and wipes away a tear on my cheek. "I'm staying, at least for a while." I place my head back to his chest, letting me take in the news I have just heard.
"What about tour?" 
"Tonight's our last show." Gerard takes my shoulder and makes me sit up so I am looking at him again. 
He has the biggest smile on his face.
The most adorable smile.
I love that smile.
"How about you come? We can make up for the show you missed?" I hesitate(alien) and Gerard's smile just grows bigger. "Pleassssse?" He leans his head close to my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "Let me make it up to you." I feel him smile against my ear, and I nod, smiling.
For the first time in a while, I am genuinely happy.
