Without A Kiss (Frerard)

2

Gerard woke up holding Frank on the couch. He shook him to wake him up

"hello?" Frank said, half asleep.

"Frank get up" Gerard said and sat up straight, helping Frank sit up next to him. He scooted a few inches from Frank.

"what's wrong?" Frank said

Gerard shook his head "we both got high. that wasn't a good idea"

"why?" Frank looked confused

"did you see how we were when we woke up? I dont think anything more than cuddling happened but if Bert came by and looked in the window and saw that he'd kill me. If he knew I was here in general he'd kill me. what if your mom saw?" Frank could tell Gerard was getting panicky

"Gerard its okay the blinds were closed and my mom is still at work" Frank put his hand on Gerards shoulder and Gerard sighed.

Holding Frank was so wonderful for the few secounds that he was concious during it. He was warm and smelt of peppermint and old coffee. It made him feel happy and relaxed instead of on edge and uncomfortable like Bert made him feel. All he wanted to do right now was kiss him and move away with him to another town like he had spoken about yesterday. Away from Bert, away from his awful mother who didnt care what he did or if he even came home at the end of the day. Just run away. Just him and Frank.

"I'm sorry" Frank said and removed his hands to hug his knees. He wished he could be hugging Gerard instead.

Gerard shook his head "it's okay it's not your fault, we were just high."

Frank shifted his vision to the carpet, replying to Gerard with just a sigh.

They sat in silence for a few minutes. Gerard studied the arm of the chair while Frank studied the carpet and the lighter on the table out in the kitchen.

"I just wish I could find someone to date. To get over you" Frank thought outloud.

Gerards heart broke hearing that but he can't just expect Frank to stay single for something he cant have.

"yeah" Gerard mumbled

Frank put his feet back down and sat up "let's go do that"

Gerard looked up at him "what?"

"let's go meet people"

"oh okay where?"

"a club? a bar? anywhere. you can chose"

"let's hit the club" Gerard giggled

Frank laughed "let's go"

Frank was never a big fan of big parties. The terrible pop music blaring in his ears, rattling his brain, and the drunk girls screaming was never something that really appealed to to him but it's much easier to talk to drunk people than sober people.

He stayed close by Gerard as they pushed past people trying to find someone decent looking for Frank to talk to.

Frank spotted someone and smirked, nudging Gerard

"he's kinda cute" Frank spoke over the music

Gerard smiled while jealousy ate at him.

"go for it then, tiger"

Frank smiled and walked up to the sober looking man.

"hey" Frank spoke up

"hi" the man turned to face Frank
