Angel Wings [G.F]

Four ; Reassurance

I woke up at some point during the night, my chest heaving up and down as I looked around the unfamiliar territory. I wasn't in my bed... hell, I wasn't even at my house!

I shot up, panicking. "Where the fuck am I? Oh god..." I whispered under my breath, my voice shaky. Did I get kidnapped?

Then it hit me. I was at Gerard's house. With a sigh of relief, I gently crawled out of bed as though not to disturb him from his peaceful slumber.

A growl ransacked my stomach, and I chuckled softly, continuing my quiet descent down the stairs.

It was hard to see in his house at night, I realized, and I stopped. Did he keep candles in his house, or would I possibly have to turn on the kitchen light. To lazy to search for candles, I chose the latter.

I felt around the rough kitchen wall in my search to bring light into the dark room. With a grunt, I moved slowly into the room, my hand never breaking contact with that wall until my hand finally hit the light switch. With a sigh of relief, I flipped it on.

Bad idea.

I blinked my eyes as I advanced, trying to adjust to the new lighting, but I instead tripped over his mothers rug, banging my head of the corner of the table with a loud thud.

"Ow! Shit!" I shouted as I landed on the floor with a thunk. I could hear footsteps thudding down the stairs, and as I focused my vision on the doorway, Gerard popped into view, a worried expression on his face.

"Frankie?" He asked as he moved forwards, and I struggled to sit up. A warm liquid slowly trickled into my eye, and when I set my hand upon its trail, it felt sticky, almost like blood.

"Frankie, don't move... you're bleeding." He reassured me, helping me to lay down flat. Once he seen I was in a comfortable position, he grabbed some paper towels and wet them with warm water before returning.

He set my head into his lap, pressing the paper towels to my head, shaking his head.

"What did you do?" He asked me softly, and I chuckled slightly from my embarrassment.

"I- I woke up, and my stomach literally growled at me, so I came down to get that food your mom left us, and when I turned the light on, I couldn't see and fell." I whispered sheepishly, closing my eyes so I wouldn't see his reaction,

"My poor Frankie." He whispered, and that's when I felt his lips connect with my head.

"It's about time to get up for school anyways." He reminded me, pressing a bandage to my head, then helping me to my feet. I groaned as he did, whether that was from the thought of school or the dizziness I got from standing.

"Do you want to go?" He asked me, and I shrugged. It was either go to school, or stay home and be questioned by Pete. Either one of those options I hated, but I chose the smart option.

"School." I growled.

Gerard and I had decided to walk to school this morning, since it was both a peaceful morning and so we could avoid any of my bullies.

I knew Gerard hated the walk to school, and I hated myself for letting him walk. It seemed as if I was holding him down, even if we had only known each other for a day.

I stayed silent most of the walk, and I could tell by how sweaty his palms were and how tight he gripped my own hand that he worried about me, but I only squeezed it in return.

After a couple more minutes of silence, however, Gerard stopped dead in his tracks, causing me to yank back.

"Frank... what's wrong?" He asked as he pulled me closer, and I shook my head. Obviously he knew I was lying, for he pulled me into a hug and whispered something into my hair.

"You can tell me, Frankie." He pleaded, and I sighed.

"It's just... I know you hate walking, and here you are, walking... all because I am a coward." I admitted to him, and he let out a hoarse laugh.

"Frank... I enjoy spending time with you. That's why I chose to walk. If you remember, it was my idea." He tapped his chest with his index finger, and I smiled weakly.

"I- I'm sorry." I whispered after we had started walking again. I could feel his eyes start to look at me, confusion written into the veins.

"For what?" He asked cautiously, and a single tear slid from my right eye.

"For being so... insecure. It's not fair to you." I looked up, and I could see how I was hurting him. Why did I always hurt people?

"It's okay to be insecure about your body, Frank." He said bluntly. "And it's okay. It doesn't have to be fair to me, because even if you're insecure, I still love everything about you, from your personality to your body." Gerard pulled me in and gave me a quick kiss. I kissed back, and we reconnected hands to continue walking.

Soon after we reached the school, both Mikey and Pete hunted us down.

Pete grabbed me by my shoulders, his eyes roaming my body. I knew he was making sure I was okay, and I was... on the outside, at least.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR HEAD!" Pete shouted, and that's when I remembered this mornings incident.

Before I could explain, Pete had Gerard pushed against the locker, growling in his face.

"You better have a good fucking explanation for this." I could hear the deep growl, and I knew this couldn't be good. I glanced at Mikey, who was watching the scene, obviously scared. I mean, come on, his boyfriend had his brother pinned against the lockers, ready to kill him.

Who wouldn't be scared?

"PETE!" I shouted, and everyone turned. Shocked.

"It's not his fault. I blinded myself with the light this morning and ran into a chair, banging my head on the side of the god-forsaken table." I explained, laughing at the end just to lighten the mood.

"Just me being clumsy." I laughed harder, and Pete rolled his eyes. "As long as he didn't do it, I guess. Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I smiled. He shrugged. "Meet you guys at lunch."

After 4th period came lunch, and I rushed to the lunchroom as soon as the bell rang.

"Frank! Oh, Frankie!" I could hear Gerard shouting, and with a smile, I bounded over to him.

"Frankie, this is Patrick, my other friend. Patrick, this is my boyfriend, Frank." Gerard introduced us, and I smiled shyly.

"Oml! This is the famous Frank? He's the one who bullies Gabe and Andy!" Patrick exclaimed!

A/N: oh no! What's gonna happen next? No one ( except me ) knows. God... I'm already halfway through the story... this is my baby! Noooo! I just may not update... nah... I couldn't do that to you guys. But there's only 6 more chapters and they should be up soon.
