field day

Field day- a day full of sports and socializing! What a great choice of activity for an absolute klutz like Gerard, right?

It was the last day of school and the school was holding their annual field day. Gerard wasn't particularly looking forward to it (or maybe he was) but only one part of field day, though. Watching his crush, Frank Iero, play sports and absolutely defeat everyone. Frank played baseball and basketball, plus he was a natural athlete. He was pretty much good at any sport he played. Gerard wished he had that ability or skill, but being awkwardly tall and not interested in sports gave him an excuse to not do sports, no matter how much his Aunt encouraged him to do them.

He arrived on the last day of school, only carrying a black drawstring bag that had his phone, camera, sketch book, and a few other items to help keep him busy for the next few hours.

The sky was a brilliant shade of blue and the clouds looked like pieces of cotton candy. The trees were bright green and the grass was luscious. Gerard soaked in the early June weather. He was surely going to miss this feeling as the months got more hot, then back down to cold. As people rushed in, he continued to snap photos of the scenery and set up for field day.

Kids started to come to the designated area and walk around, buzzing about the latest 'gossip' or how much they'd miss this year. Gerard wouldn't- for one thing. He just wanted to get the hell out of this place. He was in advanced classes, studied well, and got good grades, so he knew he'd be ready to take on more responsibilities. Gerard saw his best friend, Patrick Stump, walking over to him with a grin on his face.

"Last day, huh?" Patrick said.

Gerard smiled back while still taking photos, replying, "Yep. I can't wait to see- Oh here he comes!"

Frank walked through the doors. People swarmed around him and he smiled at everyone. Frank gave out high fives, talked to people, and goofed off with his teammates. He noticed- or tried to notice everyone. Making friends was hard for Frank because he didn't know if they wanted to talk to him to gain "popularity" or if they actually wanted to be his friend. People were so fake these days.

Gerard continued to take photos of the atmosphere and of course, Frank- for the school website, not in a creepy way. He got him smiling while talking to this one girl and couldn't help but swoon at the photo he took. It would definitely make it on the website.

"Gee, I still can't believe you have the gays for Frank." Patrick said jokingly, pushing him lightly.

"Honestly, fuck you! You're gay, too!" Gerard replied with a smirk on his face, clicking away with his camera.

They always joked around like this, considering that the two were best friends.

"You know, I would love to talk to Frank- if i could get the balls to. God, I really would do anything to get Fra- Oh hey Frank!" Gerard said nervously, dropping his camera and letting it dangle off of his neck.

"Hey, Gee! I was wondering if you could take a picture of my baseball team and I when they all get here?" Frank asked, smiling.

Gerard couldn't resist- and of course he would do it. But for Frank, duh! Was that even a question?

"Oh! Uh- yeah, yeah! Of course, Frank!" He replied nervously.

"Thanks dude, you're amazing!" Frank said, giving Gerard a pat on the back and walking away.

Gerard blushed and Patrick was freaking out for his best friend, trying to hype Gerard up out of his nervousness.

"THE Frank Iero just asked YOU to take photos of him?! Dude, that's crazy!"

He looked around, seeing the other blue jerseys gather around Frank. They goofed off and then Frank whispered something to the whole group. One (mischievous) team member, "Wentz, 69", yelled,

"YOU LIKE—"

But Frank clamped his hand over "Wentz, 69's" mouth and said "Shut up, dude! He's gonna hear!"

He's? HE'S? Gerard's mouth fell wide open in awe. Patrick looked at Gerard, both utterly shocked.

"Did I hear that right? He? Frank possibly has a crush on a dude?" Gerard whisper-yelled.

The last day of school was going way better than he expected.

Frank signaled for Gerard to come over, and Patrick followed.

"Hey, I don't mean to intrude or anything, but I overheard Wentz over there saying you liked someone. Who's the lucky girl?" Gerard asked with a bit of confidence, testing Frank.

Frank blushed and said, "Top secret, dude!"

"Damn. You're tough to crack. Can you at least describe her then?" he replied, testing if Frank would correct him.

"Well, he loves to take photos, super tall, really sweet and cute, has a best friend with a super cool style... do you know him?"

Gerard blushed, looking at Frank in awe. His team looked excited, waiting for something to happen.

"I think I know him..."

"Cool- his name is Gerard." Frank said, leaning in.

Gerard didn't know what was going on except for the fact that his crush was kissing him!? Gerard immediately knew what was going on and tried to kiss back. He didn't know how to kiss, but damn, Frank did.

They pulled away, both blushing.

"Can we do that again, sometime?"
