Short Storys

FRONAN

It was after the show finished. The boys went backstage to change out of the sweaty clothes that they just performed in. The air smelled like the boy's sweat, but as well as a mix of flowers that were placed around the room. 

"Great set, guys," Gerard said to the boys as they walk through the curtains to get backstage. "You did amazing on the guitar, Ray," Gerard said with a smile. He patted Ray on the back for the great work he did. 

"Thanks, Gee." Ray said with his usual sunshine of a smile.

"Ahem," Frank said as he took off his skeleton, fingerless glove. He opened his arms wide as he spoke, "I did great too, did I, Gee?"

Gerard nodded, then looked down at the ground. "Yes, you did great, Frankie." He said as he began to undo his tie. "You don't have to always go fishing for compliments, you know?" He said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I wasn't fishing for a compliment, Gerard." Frank sassed at Gerard.

Gerard started him down. The three other members backed away from the drama that the other two were about to have. They decided to go and change while the two talk.

"You know, Frankie," Gerard said as he stepped closer to Frank. Frank didn't move when Gerard stepped closer, he held his ground. "You do this at every small show we do. You always try to fish for compliments out of people. You always do it to get your small ego up." Gerard spat at him as he pointed a finger at Franks' chest.

Frank pushed Gerard's hand out of the way. He stepped closer to him so the two were face to face; noses almost touching. Frank's mouth open but a voice cut him off.

"Boy, I hope the two of you don't start a fight here," Conan said as he walked up behind Frank. He placed his hand on Franks' shoulder, causing his tenseness to lower. "We don't want TMZ to bring down your career."

"We weren't fighting, Mr. O'Brien, sir. Me and Frank were just chatting." Gerard said, hiding his annoyance from Frank really well. Frank gave him a death stare as he talked to Conan.

"That's great, Gerard, but do you mind if I, uh," Conan started as he looked down at Frank for a second, his eyes then returning to Gerards. "If I could talk to Frank alone for a minute or two?" He asked with a plea hidden beneath his voice. 

Gerard shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, go ahead." He started to walk to the changing room where the others were. He opened the door a crack as he said, "Frankie, don't take up too much of Mr. O'Brien's time." He said with a mischievous smirk as he entered the room, closing the door behind him. 

Frank snarled at Gerard's comment. He put up fists to his sides, one of his hands holding onto his glove, and made death stares to the door. 

Conan let out a light audible gasp at Gerard's comment. He looked down at Frank to see how he was and how he took it. A frown came to Conan's face when he saw what state Frank was in. Tears were filling the small boy's eyes as he stared down the door. Conan pulled Frank in for a hug, which surprised him. Frank gasp when Conan pulled him in. 

Conan was startled to say when he felt Franks' hands wrap around him. He felt the smaller boy cry into his dark blue suit, which was going to leave tear stains. But Conan didn't care about that.

Conan pushed him away gently to get a better look at his face. Frank sniffled and looked down at his feet. "I-I'm sorry, Mr. O'Brien, sir."

Conan put up a sad smile. He grabbed Frank by the chin and made him look up at him. Frank blushed at this move, but he didn't notice it. Conan did.

"Frank, please. Call me Conan." He said with a true smile forming on his face. 

Frank nodded with a smile. "Of course, Conan."

"Now," Conan said as he placed his hands on Franks shoulders, which caused the smaller boy to blush more than he did before. "What was that hug all about out there?"

Frank was confused for a moment, then he remembered. He shook his head as he looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry, Mr. O- I mean, Conan. I was just caught up in the moment is all." He said to the tall man, looking up at him.

"That didn't seem like a 'caught-up-in-the-moment' type of hug." Conan crossed his arms, giving off a dominance stance. "Now, tell me what type of hug that was."

Frank sighed. He looked back down at his feet, too ashamed to say why he gave him a hug.

"I'm waiting, Frankie," Conan said, his voice strong and stern.

Frank looked back up to the man as he said his answer, "I did it on hoping it would make Gerard jealous."

"Jealous? How would a hug make him jealous?" Conan asked as he looked Frank directly in the eyes. 

Frank just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. I was just hoping he would have gotten mad that I hugged some other guy than him." Frank shoved his hands in his front pockets. "Apparently it didn't work." He said as he lowered his vision to the ground once more.

Conan tilled his head to the side when he saw Frank look down once more. He felt bad that the hug didn't make Gerard jealous. He looked behind Frank to see the dressing room door open; revealing to be Gerard opening the door. He must be coming out here to apologize, Conan thought to himself. 

A smirk appeared on Conan's face as an idea came to mind. "Hey, Frankie," Conan said, getting Frank to look up at him. "I think I know a way on getting Gerard jealous."

"Really? Ho-" 

Frank was cut off when Conan grabbed his chin. Conan smashed his lips onto Franks and kissed him harshly. Frank was shocked at Conan's actions, but he went with it. He wrapped his arms around Conan's neck, as Conan wrapped his arms around Frank's waist. 

Gerard's mouth dropped open as he stood at the door. He couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. He was in total shock.

While Bob and Mikey were talking to each other, Ray looked over at the door and spotted Gerard standing there. "Hey, you okay, Gee?" Ray asked as he got up from his seat. This caused the two boys to stop their conversation. Gerard shook his head at Ray's question.

"Why? What's up?" Ray asked as he placed a hand on Gerard's shoulder. 

Gerard didn't say anything. He just opened the door wider so Ray could see what he's seeing. Ray's mouth as well dropped like Gerards.

"Guys..." Mikey asked as he stepped closer to the two. "What's going on?" The two other boys decided to get behind the two mouth-opened boys to see what they were looking at. Ray just opened the door all the way to answer the boy's question.

Now all of the four boys mouths hung open in shock at the sight of Conan O'Brien and Frank Iero making out. 

"Remind me to never play here again," Ray told Gerard, his mouth still open from shock.

"Noted."
