Be Careful What You Wish For (Frerard)

5.

"I'm just gonna call him." I say.

"Put him on speakerphone!"

"Fine." I say, going to his contact and calling him, putting it on speakerphone and setting my phone on my bed.

"Hi Way! Calling so soon?" I hear Frank's voice ring through my phone in a teasing matter.

"Yeah hi, Pete was wondering if you wanted to come over to our dorm and hang out tonight? I could help you set up your dorm room tomorrow too if you would like."

"Oh of course! One thing though, you'd have to come get me. I'm still trying to figure out this school and I'd probably get lost trying to find your room on my own.

"Yeah of course."

"Okay, are you going to come over soon?"

"Yeah I'll be over there in a couple minutes, be ready."

"Okay, bye Gee!"

"Bye Frank."

I hang up the phone and Pete practically tackles me in my bed.

"AHHH GEE IT'S YOUR FIRST DATE!!" He says.

"1. This isn't a date, 2. Get off me." I say.

"Okay well even if this isn't a date, you need to change into something other than this." He says, motioning to my outfit.

"What's wrong with my sweatpants and t-shirt?"

"Everything. Everything is wrong with this. You need to change into some skinny jeans and an over-sized sweatshirt, let him know you're a bottom."

"Pete!"

"What? Come on you know it's true."

"Do we have to talk about this right now?"

"No, but I like teasing you."

"Oh ha ha now shut up. Is this actually a date?"

"It can be! Oh my gosh you guys can cuddle each other and eat popcorn while watching a movie!"

"Isn't that what you and I did?"

"Yes but that's not a date because we're friends."

"Like I didn't know that already."

"Okay but seriously, but on those skinny jeans that make your legs look great and wear that black over-sized sweatshirt that looks absolutely adorable on you. He won't be able to resist!"

"You really think so?"

"I know so."

"Okay.." I say as I open my drawer and pull out the jeans he was talking about. I then go over to my closet and take out the sweatshirt.

"Turn around." I say.

"Okay okay." He says holding his hands up and facing the wall.

I put the clothes on and and throw my sweatpants and t-shirt into my laundry basket.

"How do I look?" I ask.

He turns around and looks at me before grabbing my brush.

"You look amazing! Now fluff up your hair a little, guys like that."

I roll my eyes at him but do as he asks.

"Amazing! You look adorable! Does Frank like coffee?"

"Yeah.." I say skeptically. "Why?"

"Buy him one before you pick him up. That'll make a great impression, do you know exactly what he likes?"

"Yes Pete, you seem to forget that I created him."

"Right, well, get him whatever coffee he loves and give it to him when you open the door. He'll fall in love with you right there on the spot if he depends on coffee as much as you do."

"Oh ha ha, you really think that'll work?"

"I know so, now, go out there, buy the man of your dreams his favorite coffee and make me proud!"

"Okay okay, settle down. You giving me the money for the coffee?"

"Fiine, but only cause you bought me one earlier."

"Yess" I say as I take the $10 bill from his hand and slip on my converse. "You're the best Pete."

"You know it!" He says. "Now go out there and don't make a fool of yourself."

"I can't promise that!" I say as I walk out into the hallway and close the door behind me.

I head downstairs and across the street into Dunkin. I order the coffee and make my way back to C2022, the apartment number that will be forever engraved into the back of my head.

I knock on the door and wait for a couple seconds before Frank opens the door, and my jaw just about drops.

He had parted his hair to the side, which looks absolutely amazing on him, and he's wearing a light black jean jacket and some black ripped jeans. He looks gorgeous and I can't help but think 'I designed him well.'

"H-Hi." I say. "I um, bought you this coffee."

I hold it out and I see a smile spread across his face. "It's just the way I like it! You seem to know everything about me!"

I let out a breathy laugh at that. "Yeah, it does seem that way doesn't it?"

He only smiles as he takes the coffee, steps out into the hallway, and closes the door behind him.

"Lead the way."

I smile back at him and start walking towards my dorm room.

"Here we are." I say as we approach my door. I pull the key out of my pocket and put it in the slot.

"Just so you know, before I open this door, I don't really know what Pete is doing? And he's probably gonna be all over you asking questions and shit, in a nice way. Just, be prepared."

"Okay." He says with a giggle. "Am I gonna be interrogated?"

"It's possible. I'm pan and every time I bring someone over he freaks out."

"Ooh okay. Well, you know that I'm pan so I don't discriminate."

I had to physically refrain from saying "yeah I know."

All I do is smile at him before I open the door and hold it for him, letting him go in first.

"Oh thank you, what a gentlemen." He says jokingly.

"I try."

"Gerard Way, is that a guy I see???!!" Pete says as soon as I walk through the door.

"Yes Pete. This is the same guy that you knew was coming over. Why do you act like this is a surprise??"

"I thought you'd chicken out. Turns out you've actually got balls. Also hi, I'm Pete." He says, holding his hand out for Frank to shake.

"Frank." He says in return, flashing his iconic smile.
