Frank's P.O.V.

I wake up at 5:00 naturally. I roll over and check my notifications. No messages. I stretch my arms and sit up on the couch. I'm surprised I didn't manage to get tangled up in the sheets. Since Gerard isn't awake yet, I just go on my phone. About 5 minutes later, I hear a door open and feet shuffle to the kitchen. Gerard's hair manages to look amazing even after just waking up.

"Morning," he says tiredly. His voice is deepened from being asleep.

"Morning,"

Gerard begins absent mindedly cleaning a coffee container and making a fresh pot. When the pot is done brewing, he offers,"You want some coffee?"

"Sounds great,"

He smiles and turns to pour an equal amount of coffee into two identical white mugs. He walks over to me and hands me the warm cup. I blow on the steamy liquid a few times before taking small sips.

"So Gerard,"

"Yes?"

Gerard leans against the countertop.

"Do you uh, have any plans or anything this Monday?"

"No," he chuckles, "I never have plans."

"Right. Would you maybe want to- I mean, I'm not doing anything after school, and-" I couldn't find the words to ask him to hang out.

"And what?"

"And maybe we could go to the park? If you don't want to I get it,"

"No, that actually sounds really nice," he sips some more coffee.

It sounds really nice? I'm so used to being rejected. This is strange.

"What time?"

"I get out of school at 1:30, so I can meet you at the park at 1:45 or so,"

"Great,"

I heard him slurp up his coffee and set down the mug on the countertop.

"You want something to eat? I don't have a lot unfortunately, but I have ramen noodles," he offers as he crouches down to a pantry.

"Nah I'm good. I don't eat breakfast,"

He closes the pantry door and pours a second cup of coffee.

"What's your Tumblr URL?"

"Huh? Oh. Hold on," he sets down his coffee mug and goes to his room. He comes back with his phone in his hand. We follow each other and he ends up sitting next to me showing me random Supernatural gifs. We spend a good 10 minutes exchanging band memes and cat gifs. I was in the middle of showing Gerard a meme about Pierce The Veil when I got a text from my dad.
Dad:
How long do you plan on staying with your girlfriend? You have to clean your room. You're disgusting.

I groan and reply with:
Ok coming over now

I look at Gerard who looks at me sympathetically.

"I'm sorry,"

"It's okay. I get it," he comforts. I stand up, drain the rest of my coffee, and pull on my shoes. When I'm at the doorway just about to leave, I look at Gerard and remind him,"Monday. I'll see you then."

He nods without a smile as I close the door and jog all the way back to my house. I won't go into detail about what happened over the weekend because I'm a boring person, but I basically spend it in my room playing guitar quietly, smoking a bit of weed, and stalking Gerard on Tumblr. His URL is gwhiz138 which makes me feel better about my weird name, which is homoeyeliner4269.
