I've Lost My Breath With You ~frerard

Chapter Seven

Gerard doesn't notice me at first. So I sat back down and pretended not to notice him too. As he surveys the coffee shop I hear a small gasp, either he noticed me or someone else. But soon a man walks over to me, "Mind if I join you?" Asks Gerard. "Of course," I nod towards the seat across from me and sip my almost empty coffee.

Even he smells like smoke, or maybe that's just me. "How've you been Frank?"

"Just fine. You?" Of course I'm not just fine, I'm broke and lonely as hell. "I'm well. With my new job I've made a lot more, less lunatic, friends." I don't take it as offense. I am a lunatic.

"Good for you." I nod and sip the last of my coffee as a burst of thunder comes, soon it's pouring. "Fuck." I mutter. Giving the confused stare I'm getting I sigh and say, "All I have is this stupid jacket and my apartment is a mile away, I don't have a car."

"My house is just up the street..." Gerard begins

"Are you inviting me to your home?" I ask, genuinely surprised. "Well.. I live alone and you seem to be in a bit of trouble since the café closes in a few minutes."

"Yeah. I guess I'm staying with you tonight.." I don't miss the grin the Gerard quickly wipes away before he stands "Well, let's go."

We walk in silence as Gerard's jacket sprayed even more water on me. But soon were inside, in fact, Gerard is dry. I, am not. "Let me get you some cloths you can wear." He says before running off, giving me a chance to look around. His house is neat, clean and the walls are light blue. He has paintings on the wall but no pictures. None of a significant other, family, none.

Gerard comes back down with a blanket, pajama pants and a tank top. "Want coffee?" He asks, setting the stuff on the couch. "We just had coffee.. But sure" I nod. "Where's your bathroom?"

I change into my clothing before coming back. Gerard had started to play Brand New and was humming along in the kitchen, swaying his hips. "You know..." I mumble. "I never realized how sassy you were over at the hospital."

Gerard's hips stop moving and he turns around with coffee "over at the hospital it was work, I wasn't being paid to be sassy," and he shoves the coffee into my hands. "Wow, you're so angry." I laugh, taking a sip of my coffee which makes him raise an eyebrows. "Are you trying to push me, Iero?" He asks with a snappish tone to his voice

"Iero?"

"Your last name?"

"You never told me my last name, Doctor. Way," I sigh, watching him fall silent I set my mug down "Well, aren't you going to show me around?"

Gerard nods then walks off "well this is the hall, I put up the pictures I have painted, and now we're in the living room.. Nothing out of the ordinary... Upstairs is my room and you saw the kitchen.. That's kinda it..."

"Where am I going to sleep?" I ask

"Well... I have an air mattress, or maybe the couch?"

"Couch is fine, I find air mattresses uncomfortable" I nod.

~~~~~~time lapse to midnight~~~~~

"I told you! Evolution might be real on some stances but I did not come from a monkey! If anything I came from a dog rather than a big hairy gorilla!" I say in between chocking laughter. "Maybe you're right, I mean you are small and hairless, besides this big head" Gerard says while he whips my head back and forth. With a swat I get his hands away from me "Jerk," I say and set my beer down. We've practically had every drink in his house, tea, coffee, some whiskey and now beer.

"Let's play date or hate" Gerard slurs, grabbing his iPad. Before I can protest he's pulled up a random bunch of girls and guys. "You strait, gay..?" He asks. "I'm not sure so this is fine." The older man nods and pulls up the first photo of a girl in her mid twenties in a bikini. "Date" Gerard says, almost immediately. "Date." I agree. This goes on for awhile before a photo of himself comes up, before I can stop myself I say "date."

Gerard looks at me, he doesn't look grossed out or confused. We just stare for awhile before he leans in and presses his lips to mine. And before I know it I'm mumbling "so I guess I'm not sleeping on the couch?" And he shakes his head.
