as blind as love (frerard-TeacherXstudent)

the truth

The final bell rang, waking me up from my sleep, moments later frank enters the room

"hey Gerard...Mikey's going to Pete's house today, he wanted me to tell you" why today I sigh

"how longs he gonna be gone for"

"he said about 10 pm" god how am I going to get home

"oh er ok then" I put my papers back in the folder and place it in the draw

"do you want to er walk home with me" hopefully he says yes otherwise i'm going to be stuck here forever

"yeh of course" he replied, I stood up from my desk and walked to the door and frank followed behind me

"frank...do you want to eh link arms with me" i'm trying to hide the fact that I needed to be guided home

"yeh sure" he linked his arm around mine and we walked to the office. The desk lady stopped us

"thank you frank" she said

"er for what" he instantly un linked our arms

"for helping Mr.way out...silly" I was internally groaning and wanting to leave now

"your confusing me miss...helping with what" I want to leave now

"helping him get home"

"how i-i'm not going ho-home with him" I could hear panic in franks voice

"you where guiding him though weren't you?" didn't she get the note that I didn't want students knowing

"guiding him? What do you mean" why why why

"because hes bl-" I cut her off

"come on frank we've got places to be" and linked our arms back and walked out. I was pissed, ill have to speak with her later tomorrow. I was in no mood to speak so everything frank tried to question me about it I just shushed him and let him unknowingly guide me back home. Now the next challenge was opening the door, I pulled the key from my pocket and ran my hand across the door until I found the key hole and put the key in and twisted it, the door opened and we walked in, I decided to stay in the kitchen because it would be easier to get the tings I needed until Mikey got home.

"hey Frankie if you need anything just get it yourself"

"thanks...do you want anything gee" thank god he asked

"yeh a coffee please...black" he didn't say anything so I presumed he nodded

"hey gee"

"yeh"

"what was she talking about when we where at school" should I tell him, god I don't know however it would make my life a bit easier, but what if he tells everyone

"gee" maybe I should tell him, yeh I will

"ok ok, but if I tell you...your not to tell anyone do you understand" again he didn't speak so I assumed he nodded

"use your voice frank" my first kinda hint

"yeh okay I wont day a thing...does Mikey know about what your going to say"

"yeh he does... he kind of has to" I laugh a bit out of nervousness

"ok then" I take a deep breath to stop a panic attack "so its to do with why Mikey all ways drives me to school, why I mistake people for other people, why I don't notice a lot of things. Oh and why Mikey got so pissed at you taking my glasses and why I was on the floor looking for them. And why lynz was being a dick to me" a tear dropped from my eyes and frank quickly wiped them away "why I never get up from my desk, and get my students to do a lot of things for me" i'm trying to stall now "when you made that joke about me not knowing what my own brother looks like I cried" I have to say it now "frank...i'm fucking blind" he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly, I felt my shirt getting slightly wet "frank why are you crying"

"because I've acted like a dick to you, i'm sorry"

"its fine Frankie you didn't know, I didn't want people to know"

"well your doing pretty well for a blind teacher" we both laughed and frank stood up

"well I try...plus Mikey helps a lot"

"so is that why before you came to teach, Mikey was sometimes late" I nodded

"yeh, mainly helping me get ready and sometimes when my eyes cause me a lot of pain"

"ho-how long have you been blind for then" I scratched my head trying to thing "you don't have to answer if you don't want to" he quickly added in

"no no its fine, just trying to think" frank hummed yes

"ok so i've always had bad eyesight ever since I was born and it slowly got worse and so when I was about 10 years old it completely went and i'm 21 now so i've been blind for 11 years"

"oh...so eh where are your parents" oh god i'm probably going to cry

"eh so um our dad died when I was 10 and Mikey was 7 and our mom became an alcoholic and became abusive...she would always leave the house for weeks at a time leaving Mikey to look after me...one day when I was 16 and Mikey was 13 we decided to move out, because I was righting comics at the time and earning a good amount of money, and so now were here" tears where now quickly flowing and frank kept wiping the tears away

"I love you Gerard you know that right...no mater what" did he just tell me he loved me

"i-I love you to f-frank" I soon felt franks lips pressed against mine and I just melted into the kiss, we pulled away

"what are we" frank asked while wiping the rest of my tears

"whatever you want us to be"

"well...gee do you want to be my boyfriend"

"yes" I wrapped my arms tight around frank and we kissed one more time

"aww I ship it" Mikey shouted from the door scaring my shitless

"Mikey" frank and I shout in unison and laughing

"you know I heard everything right...and Gerard i'm proud of you" I smiled

"thank you Mikey" he walked over and gave me a hug

"so Mikey...how is the love fest going with Pete" frank laughed

"Mikey" I laughed "you got something to tell me"

"n-no well yeh I mean Pete and I have been going out for a few months now" frank started laughing

"Mikey your going bright red...you did it didn't you" frank shouted the last part

"wha-what n-n-no" Mikey quickly left and run upstairs

"well then...I better get going but ill see you tomorrow Gerard"

"okay then...remember if anything happens, call me" I shouted as he left the room

"okay" he shouted back and the door shut.
