Devil's Work (Frerard / Priest!Gerard)

Thirty One

Chapter Thirty One

It was finally Saturday, and I was unashamed to admit that i'd had my bag packed since Thursday evening. I just really needed the break away with Gerard so I could just forget about everyone else. So that it could just be me and him for once, no interruptions.

I'd told my aunt and uncle that I was going to Kellin's for the night, and they hadn't even blinked twice at my lie. I would've told Ray if I thought he'd be interested, but he was still holding his six-day long grudge against me. I'd hoped he'd have mellowed by that point, but he was still angry. I'd be able to tell him the full truth come October, but with it only being late May I knew that I had two options - lie more or let him calm down. So far I was going with option number two.

So I made my way out of the house without any interruptions, my overnight bag slung over my shoulder and my jacket pulled on loosely. I walked to Gerard's, as we'd figured it wasn't worth the risk of him picking me up in case anyone saw. I didn't mind anyway - I liked the walk when the weather was nice and I could just stick my headphones in at what was probably a damaging volume.

Mikey had gone back to New Jersey the previous day, full of promises to come visit again soon, so it was just Gerard home when I got there. He answered the door out of his uniform - dressed in his usual black jeans, but paired with a t-shirt and his leather jacket that i'd seen him wear on a few occasions.

"Hey" He pulled me inside, waiting until the door was shut before he kissed me briefly and took my bag, setting it down next to his one "you get away okay?"

"Yeah, they didn't really ask much about it really" I grinned, following him into the kitchen "I'm a pretty good liar when I want to be."

"You kind of need to be" He chuckled, glancing between us "As much as I hate to say it, our whole relationship kind of relies on it at the moment."

"Well that's why we're going away tonight" I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around him "for the next 24 hours we don't have to lie about our feelings or hide them away anymore. I get to show everyone you're mine without worrying about the repercussions."

"I just feel sorry for whoever gets stuck near us when we get mushy" Gerard leaned back into my hug, placing his hands over the ones wrapped around his waist. I moved my head so it was resting on his shoulder, feeling the leather pressing against my cheek.

"I hope you've packed your collar...." I whispered, making him stiffen in my arms.

"Fuck Frankie, you're going to make me get a boner before we've even got there" although I couldn't see it, I would've betted that he rolled his eyes at that point. I could feel him smiling though, and that just made me giggle.

"You didn't answer my question...."

"Yes, I have" He sighed "only because I know what a fetish you seem to have for it. Fucking weirdo" he teased "come on, let's get going and then when we get there we can talk about this kink you've developed in more detail."

"I'd prefer a demonstration, but sure" he slid out of my grip but kept hold of my hand, pulling me towards the door with a loose grip as he tried and failed not to blush at my comment. "You should also know that when you blush like that it fucking turns me on, okay?"

"Shut up, i'm not blushing" He blatantly lied.

"Whatever you say" I just chuckled, picking up my bag again.

The drive took about two hours. We'd wanted to be sure that we could go far enough away that the risks of anyone recognising us were reduced to minimal statistics. We only stopped briefly at a service station to pick up coffee and doughnuts, both of us eager to reach our destination in plenty of time. Seeing as we only had the one night away, we both wanted to take advantage of all the time available to us both.
