☆Save Me☆ {Frerard Fanfic}

41: ChAeNoMeLeS

Gerard's POV (we'll say like 4 months later because this story ain't gonna survive if I keep writing a whole bunch of fluff)
"Ready, set, go!" Loki hollers, all of us racing through the training course to reach the singular yellow flag, placed perfectly at the top of an extremely steep hill. Gracie and I use our powers to fly above Frank, I'm surprised Loki doesn't count this as cheating. As we exit the forest, we realise something. Frank wasn't running around far below us like a scared little rat. "Where is he?" I call and she shrugs, speeding off towards the flag. Why is she now somehow faster than me?

Both of us soon come to a grinding halt when we see that the flag is seemingly moving by itself. Frank's shadow-walk soon dissipates and he's sneaking away with the flag. "Get back here!" I call before sprinting down the hill to chase him and Gracie. She uses some flashes of light in an attempt to stop Frank, that not working as he continues to bolt away with the flag. I create a small illusion of a tree root sticking up, causing him to stop and me to float right over him, the illusion soon fading into a purple outline and disappearing. "No fair!" He calls as I keep defying gravity. Gracie soon zooms past me and returns the flag to Loki, he smiles at her.

"That was kind of fun." Frank says, putting his hands on his knees, letting his breath catch up to him. I nod and so does Gracie. "Training's over now." Loki says, sounding like he couldn't care less. After training, I go over to Amelia's grave, talking to her about what's been going on, even though I must look like a schizophrenic. I don't care what I look like, it's nice just to feel like she's still here in a way, even though Gracie can actually talk to her, but eh, who cares. I soon get up, feeling as though I'm being watched.

I shrug off the feeling and continue walking back, not being able to think properly. Suddenly I get pushed sideways into a bush, screaming as I get pulled down. "Surprise." Frank says, my heart in my mouth. "You stalker!" I say, dusting myself off, folding my arms and walking away. "Aww c'mon you killjoy." He says and I turn away from him. "You scared me!" I reply, my heart still pounding. "I'm sorry." He says, unfolding my arms and holding my hand. "I still don't believe you." I say and he kisses my cheek. "There, I'm sorry." He says and I playfully punch his arm. "That's for scaring me." I say, getting a slightly angry look from him. I kiss him on the forehead. "And that's because I forgive you, and I'm trusting you not to do it again." He nods. "I understand." We walk along for a while, still holding hands. "Wanna stay out here for a bit?" He asks, smiling at me hopefully. "Okay." I say, getting a happy look from him. I just feel so happy right now I could fly! "Uhm Gee, we're off the ground." Frank points out, thank god we're just hovering a little off the ground. At least the floating isn't as bad as it used to be, if it was still the same, we'd probably be dying in space because of the lack of air. We spend the remainder of the day together in the forest, playing tag and stupid little kid games, because that's what responsible adults do.
