Rain Stained Kiss [frerard]

part II

So far the first few days of summer had been full of rain. It had poured down in unrelenting sheets, soaking everyone and everything that dared step out into it.

Lindsey, Ray, and Pete had been over almost every day, and today was not an exception.

“get the fuck off my counter!” Gerard yelled at Pete for the fourth time that day. Of course it wasn't really his counter, but with both parents at work he figured that being the oldest means he could tell Pete whatever the fuck he wanted.

“chill princess” Pete grumbled, sliding off and looping his arms around Mikey. Gerard gagged and looked away as they kissed.

“you're like a seventh grader” Lindsey laughed, sitting in a tipped back chair, her feet on the table. “it's just kissing” she laughed as she took a drink of soda.

“oh yeah, Frank should be here soon” Pete remarked suddenly, looking at the stove clock.

“who the fuck is Frank?” Gerard asked. Shouldn't he at least know the people coming over to his house. Evidently not.

“he's a friend of ours” Pete shrugged, staring at Mikey. By ‘ours' Gerard assumed he meant his and Mikey's seeing as they didn't really have friends beyond themselves.

“he came just for the last few weeks of school.  He just moved here” Mikey explained “I told you about him, remember?” Gerard just stared blankly at Mikey. No, he did not remember.

“did neither of you think to tell me he was coming over?” Gerard asked, very unhappy with the thought of unknown people in his home. Or rather a unknown person.

“it's fine” Pete waved him off “I told Mikey”

Glowering, Gerard shuffled over to the coffee machine and made his fourth cup.

“you're gonna die from drinking so much coffee” Ray told him, hovering over his shoulder.

“no I'm not” Gerard grumbled, glaring over the rim of his off-white ceramic mug.

“dude, there's someone hanging out in the rain!” Pete suddenly hollered from the living room. Quickly everyone gathered around the front windows to peer through the curtains at the figure in the rain.

They were running with their arms spread out. Then they stopped in front of the Way house and spun around arms outstretched.

“shit, they're fuckin high” Pete laughed, then something dawned on his face “shit, that's Frank!” he immediately opened the front door and ran out onto the porch and started shouting at the black clad figure,  who turned around and began walking towards the house.

A moment later Pete and Frank were through the door. “you're gonna get so sick” Pete was saying, then he glanced up at Gerard “I didn't know he was high!” he told him. Gerard just raised an eyebrow. Yeah right.

“I'm not high!” Frank snapped at Pete.

“no way would a sane person do that” Pete argued. Frank grumbled something and looked at Gerard and said something along the lines of ‘I swear I'm not’ but Gerard didn't hear because suddenly his heart was beating twice as fast and his face was heating up, because fuck, Frank was really pretty. He was short for a guy and had tattered black jeans with a Black Flag shirt and a soaking wet black hoodie. His skin was pale and smooth and his hair was stupid but it looked good. The sides had been bleached blonde while a stripe down the center was black and it curled against his cheek under his eye. Then there were the piercings. Seeing as Gerard was terrified of needles he would never get andy piercings , but he could appreciate them on other people. And boy did he appreciate them on this Frank kid.
