Downstairs (frerard)

Truth or dare

   "Geeeeeee i'm bored!"

   Gerard puts his sixth cup of coffee down next to his liquorice bag and sighs.

   "What do you want to do?"

   Frank goes quiet, thinking  about his options. They could go back downstairs to read Gerard's awesone comics, they could go outside and start a watergun war, or...

   "Let's play truth or dare!"

   Gerard rolls his eyes so far back his head hurts.

   "Are you actually twelve Frank?  Because if you are, the four month deal is off the table."

   Frank ignores his heart fluttrring at the mention of their "deal", points at the bag of candy gerard is eating, and answers:

   "If you don't, I'll tell Mikey that you stole his liquorice."

   Frank smirks smugly.

   "You little shit. I gave you some too!"

   "I don't care. Play with me!

   "Fine."

   Frank and Gerard are sitting on the living room carpet, their game is about to begin.

   "Okay. We need some rules. What happens if you don't wanna do a dare?", Frank asks, crossing his hands on his lap.

   "I don't know! I don't play party games."

   Frank sticks his tongue out.

   "You're no fun. Okay, if you refuse to do a dare, you have to do a truth, and vice versa. None of the dares can include going outside, either."

   Gerard pipes up at that.

   "Also, you can't make me make out with you. We're gonna have to wait for that."

Oh god.

   "Let's start."

    "I dare you to prank call a pizza joint, and order a large penis."

    This is the third dare Frank has gotten from Gerard, and Frank is already regretting this. Frank has gone easy on the older boy, knowing that he isn't very familiar with the game, but Gerard has proven to be a master of embarassing dares.

   "I-" Frank thought it over. The dare is embarassing, yes, but does Frank really want to give up? No! 

   Wait, actually yes he does, but he won't! Why? Because he's from motherfucking New Jersey, that's why!

   "I'll do it."

   The sexy smirk on Gerard's face almost makes this worth the humiliation. Frank looks up a pizza place from New York, just to make sure they won't recognize him. He dials the number, and it only rings twice.

   "Hello, i'ts Nate's pizzas, how can i help you?" The person who answers is obviously female, which thankfully makes things less awkward.

   "Umm...." Frank looks at Gerard with a pained expression, but all he gets is an amused laugh.

   "...Can i get a large penis please?"

   Gerard bursts out laughing, trying to cover his mouth so the girl on the phone wouldn't hear. Frank pulls away from the phone, cringing at his previous words. 

   "Gee, can i please hang up now?"

   Gerard shakes his head as he finally stops laughing. 

   "Talk for thirty more seconds, and i'll give you a double turn."

   "...fine."

   Frank raises the phone back to his ear, just to hear that the girl is laughing too. It's really not that funny! 

   " Oh my god Paul, get over here, you won't believe what this guy just said!"

   There is a male voice on the phone now.

    "What?"

   Frank quickly hangs up before yet another person starts laughing at this stupid dare.

   "That was thirty seconds. Now, truth or dare?"

   Gerard knows better than to pick dare after that.

   "Truth. Also, you get to ask two, since i promised you a double turn, pumpkin."

    Now. Does Frank want to embarrass Gee or actually find out something? As tempting as revenge is, there's something Frank has been craving to ask.

   "Are you serious about the four mont deal?"

   Everything i silent for a while, and Frank looks away from Gerard, blushing madly. The older boy smiles fondly.

   "If you are up for it, then yes, of course i'm serious. I would take you out now, but i'm way too old to be dating a seventeen year old. I don't think i've mentioned this before, but i'm twenty-one."

   Frank looks back at the boy in front of him, trying to be as calm as possible.

   "Okay, follow up question-" "This counts as your second turn!" "Whatever. My second question is, why? Why do you want to date me?"

   Gerard laughs softly at that, reaching his hand forward to pet Frank's hair.

   "At first, it mainly was your looks. Although you throwing a remote at my face was impressive too." "Hey!" "But after a day of getting to know you, i really think we were meant to meet. You and i are like... soulmates or something. I can feel it. Despite our constant arguing, which is actually pretty fun, with you, i never get bored. I don't even know what time it is right now! Also, you managed to turn truth or dare into a fun game. There is no way i'm letting go of a person like that, pumpkin."

   Frank's cheeks are burning, and he can hardly breathe. That was... the nicest, most beautiful thing anyone has ever said about him. His heart is pounding and his stomach is filled with butterflies.

   Maybe they are soulmates.

Yo! I am so sorry for not updating in a while, but i burned my hand, and the placement of the burn made it very hard to type. I hope you enjoyed this! Still short, i know, but that's my thing, I guess!
