That night, the two boyfriends sat together on Frank's bed, having snuck back in after their long visit to the empty Way household. 

They were both reading, but the soft sound of the strong wind outside lulled Gerard into a comfortable sleepy state, and he found himself barely reading the book in his hands. 

Gerard yawned and looked over at Frank on the bed. The cutie had his legs criss-crossed under himself and he was leaning over his book, on his elbows, fully immersed into it's story. His pink tongue peeked out between his lips and he licked the very tip of his finger to turn the page. 

Gerard looked at him sideways and suddenly pulled him over by his shirt, kissed him passionately, then pushed him back. 

Frank stared at the wall with a puzzled look of surprise on his face. He blinked, and then looked at his boyfriend. 

Gerard pulled his knees to his chest with a huge grin. "You were too cute. I had to."

"Well now I can't read my book." Frank grinned at him. "Jerk."

"Why not?"

"Because you're too cute." Frank tugged at Gerard's shirt to pull him closer. "I have to give you attention now."

Gerard scooted forward on his arms stiffly, moving next to the smaller boy. 

"Why are you moving so weird?" Frank giggled quietly.

"I don't know, maybe because you fucked my ass in the downstairs bathtub today and I'm sore as hell." Gerard said, pulling his boyfriend toward him. 

Frank climbed into his lap and kissed the underside of his chin. "I'll be more gentle next time."

"But that's no fun." Gerard clicked his tongue. 

"You are a masochist." Frank laughed.

"Oh, shut up." Gerard mumbled. 

"You like it rough, no shame in that." Frank said, toying with Gerard's shirtsleeve. "I also like, you know, being the one who's rough."

"So do I." Gerard smirked. "But you're too scared to let me."

Frank's jaw dropped and looked up at him. "I am not scared."

"Not yet." Gerard said nonchalantly.

Frank swallowed, sinking into Gerard's arms a little more. "Well..."

"Another day, mon cheri." Gerard kissed his nose, his voice a sweet whisper. "Another day."

"Right." Frank laughed nervously. "Soon, I- I hope."

Gerard raised his eyebrows at him and Frank shivered. 

"What time is it?" He asked, changing the subject. 

"About one a.m." Gerard said, brushing stands of black hair from Frank's forehead. "Your parents are long in bed, and I can stay here as long as you want."

"Good." Frank whispered, taking Gerard's hand into his and holding it tight.

Gerard ran his thumb over Frank's knuckles, looking over his facial features and soaking them up.
