Gees p.o.v

We stepped into the mall and I was amazed to find that no one was staring at me well except Frank who was admiring the way the mall light shined on me or something cheesy like that. So where do you wanna go ? He asked I could feel my cheeks burning as I said the words. I wanna go to Claire's I mumbled to the floor afraid Frank was gonna think I'm ridiculous he didn't. Really? I was wondering when you'd ask he said he seemed excited most of all and took off jogging towards the store I laughed taking off after him and laughed again at my punk rock boyfriend standing in the doorway to Claire's grinning like an idiot. So what exactly do you want ? He said gesturing into the store. Umm I'm not sure I don't have a lot of money I said walking into the store. Don't worry about it I've got it Frank said showing me the money in his wallet. Frank! Your grandpa gave you that for college! I said Frank laughed no my grandpa gave me money cause I graduated he doesn't care if I go to college and I would rather spend money on you he said smiling and reaching for my hand to drag me further into the store so I'll ask again what do you want? do you wanna get your ears pierced or something? Frank asked No! Uh maybe clip ons but nothing with needles I said panicking at the thought Frank laughed again you know you're cute when you're scared he said yea thanks that's makes me feel so much better I said picking up a card of clip ons that had a pair of kittens along with about ten different colors of magnetic studs Frank ran back to the front of the store to get a basket and returned with a basket six hair bows and a headband with kitten ears uh I thought you'd like this he said in explanation I giggled he was right we shopped in Claire's a little longer and then left to walk the mall I stopped to try on the hair bows Frank and bought and Frank just stared at me you know this is the happiest I've seen you in months he said smiling at me I smiled back because yea I was genuinely happy and it was a great feeling we stopped in the food court and Frank started talking about pizza I zoned out wondering if I could live like this everyday and just be happy maybe me and Frank could move in together and then I could spend my whole day with him instead of my homophobic parents. So uhh do you think maybe you'd eat with me?

Frank asked I mean I know it's hard but would you try for me we can get whatever you want he pleaded I stopped walking for a second I had kind of gotten used to ignoring hunger but now that I stopped to think about yea I was really fucking hungry! And pizza did sound good and maybe with Frank here I could do it maybe I could eat

Yes I said looking up him determined yes I can eat with you Frank he grinned obviously happy that I'd agreed to eat
