Psycho Path

Chapter 8 - A filler kind of chapter maybe?

You groan a bit in your sleep, feeling like it's time to wake up, but don't want to. You suddenly feel a pair of hands slip under your shirt, rubbing your tummy in a comforting way. Your eyes snapped open, and you quickly turn your head a bit to the back. "Good morning Princess." Frank says with sleepy eyes. Looks like he just woke up as well. You quickly get up, almost falling off the couch, due to the small space that you guys share. Frank holds you close to him to keep you balance. And now you guys are just staring into each other's eyes. "Uhh... I-I should get a shower now." You are the first to break the awkward situation and awkwardly get off the couch, stumbling your way to the bathroom.

As you get in the shower, you can't stop thinking about just now, about Frank. Sure he's a bad-looking kind of person, but... he's kinda cute actually. With that long black hair of his. (Just imagine Frank from Danger Days, ok peeps) You mentally slap yourself. 'What the heck are you thinking Y/n?! This is not the time for this. You are on a run now and you are a wanted person.' You thought. Having that thought makes you sigh a bit. You are never going to have your normal life back. Sure it is sad to just leave everything behind, but thinking of Gerard's condition right now makes you even more sad. You can't bear to see him like this and you don't have the guts to leave him lost in his own messed up sanity. You turn off the shower and go to the mirror. Looks like your bruised cheek is getting better. If only you have your make up with you right now. At least you could cover up the bruise. You put on the same clothes and thought about the need to have clean outfit.

You step out of the bathroom, looking at the lump on the bed. Gerard is still sleeping soundly under the blanket. Poor Gerard. He must be very tired from all the non-stop driving. You just realize that he hasn't get any rest since the day he 'kidnapped' you. Averting your gaze from him, you are met with a view of Frank being only in his towel. This makes you blush so hard so you look down immediately. Frank is approaching the bathroom, and as he walks past you, he says "I'm gonna take a cold shower." and grins at you. Your face go redder, if it's possible, and you smack him by the shoulder. He lets out a laugh and you laugh along. Then, he goes inside and you hear a clicking sound of locking the door.

You decide it's better to wake Gerard up. You slowly lift up the blanket and see his adorable sleeping figure. His mouth is slightly open and you can hear a faint snore. Awww,... Gerard's so cute. You smile to yourself. You sit on the edge of the bed and shake him a little. "Gerard, wake up." You are replied with a grunt from him, moving around a bit, and he tries to go back to sleep. "Mmmm... no. I love my beauty sleep." He says in his sleep. You accidentally let out a small laugh. You hope he doesn't hear that. "No Gerard, we need to check out soon, and left." Another grunt from him. "Gosh, Y/n.. have you ever heard of the word 'chill'? There's no need to rush." He sure is talking a lot for a sleeping person. You are getting a little annoyed at this point. "Urgghhh, c'mon Gerard. In the end it's you who would be pushing and rushing us to move faster." He slightly opens his eyes now. "You know, you hardly laugh lately." "Huh?" you are confused now. "You should laugh more often.." Then he suddenly grabs your arm and pulls you onto the bed with him, but he is on top of you now. His hands start tickling you. " - like this." You let out a fit of laughter.

"G-gerard...*laughs* s-stoooopppp...*laughs*" You try to make out a sentence but it's hard while you are being tickled and at the same time, is trying to catch your breath. Gerard finally stops. He leans down and inches his face towards yours. He is smiling wide at you while you are still trying to recover yourself. You give a final laugh before slowly going to a stop, eyes are now staring into his sparkling ones. The sparkles are back in his eyes. You are happy to know that. "Y/n..... I-" Suddenly the bathroom door opens wide, revealing Frank in his towel again. Both of you turn your face towards Frank. Frank is also staring at both of you. A hurtful look on his face. There is a brief moment of silence for a while, before Frank speaks "The bathroom is all yours now." And walks towards the couch, collecting his clothes. You and Gerard stay silent, and make eye contact. Then he moves away from you and walks into the bathroom.

* Timeskip to after doing the check out stuff *

You guys are now standing outside the hotel. "Okay here's what we gonna do now. We're going to the mall to get supplies and anything needed. I will also be changing my image a bit. But make it quick, we don't want to wander around this town for too long." Gerard said. "Can we get new clothes as well? I don't want to move around in the same shirt." You add. "I don't mind being in the same clothes my whole life." Frank is grinning. "You're disgusting." You say and lightly hit Frank on the arm. You both are laughing now. Gerard just squints his eyes at both of you. "Whatever, now let's get in the car." You guys then left the place and head for any local mall in sight.
