The End. ~Frerard~

i'll just have to fall in love with you all over again

"i just don't understand why i don't remember you." Gerard said holding Franks hand with his free one. Frank smiled softly. he raised his hand and held Gerard face.

"i can help you remember. but you need to believe me." he said gently. Gerard nodded. Frank stood up and hugged Gerard. like really hugged him. Gerard was startled at first but hugged back. "i'm sorry about what Bert did," his voice muffled by Gerards shirt. Gerard lifted his hand and played with a bit of Franks hair.

"it's not your fault. none of this is. if anything, it's mine," Gerard did his best not to cry. Frank inhaled deeply and took in Gerards scent. mango.

"don't blame yourself," Frank pulled his head away to look at Gerard. "you went to have a good time and he fucked that up. it's his fault." Frank said reassuringly. Gerard smiled softly. he kissed Franks forehead and rested his head on his shoulder. Frank smiled and sighed.

"you should get dressed. well- undressed," Gerard said pulling away. Frank nodded, still smiling.

he grabbed the shirt from Gerard. Gerard walked to the bathroom and gently closed the door. Frank (in a very not creepy way) brought the shirt up to his nose and inhaled. he sighed in content. he took the pants and shirt off along with his shoes and socks. he was left in just his boxers and the black shirt in his hands. he smelled it once more before putting it on. he neatly folded the other clothes and put them on the chair in the corner of the room. he made his way back to the bed and sat crisscross. Gerard walked out with the handkerchief in his hand. he put it in the same drawer containing his sketchbook. he switched his pants and sat on the bed next to Frank.

"nice mark," Frank chuckled and pointed to Gerards neck. Gerard smiled and tilted his head to the side so Frank could get a better view.

"right? the guy that gave it though," he inhaled sharply, "he's not the cutest." Frank laughed and hit Gerards arm.

"that's not nice" he said as he laughed.

"yea neither is the guy who gave it to me," Gerard said giggling.

once their laughing died down and they were left with pink cheeks and smiles, Frank said, "yknow, that guy really likes you. he can't stop thinking about you."

"well, i really like him too. i just wish i could remember him." Gerard said frowning.

"could this maybe help you remember?" Frank said leaning towards Gerard. he looked up and leaned in too. just as their lips were about to touch, Gerard jumped back. Franks eyes flew open. "did i do something wrong? oh my god i'm so sorry! i didn't think that maybe you'd react badly," Frank babbled. Gerard smiled and leant back in, kissing Frank by surprise. he just melted right into the kiss but of course, Gerard pulled away.

"no silly. i just realized that i have a sketchbook from when i was younger. i just never touch it. it might have something that'll help me remember." he said leaning over to the drawer with the handkerchief and sketchbooks. he dug for a couple seconds and pulled out a black hardcover sketchbook. in silver sharpie 'Property of Gerard Way' was written across the cover. Frank instantly remembered the book.

"your first sketchbook," he breathed out. Gerard looked at Frank and nodded. "Elena gave it to you. the book and the pencils." Frank said touching the cover. "you never let me touch it. you said you were drawing a surprise so i can't touch the book or else i'd spoil the surprise. you never showed me the picture." Frank said looking at Gerard. "go ahead open it! why are you waiting?" he laughed.

"Frank, i swear, if i don't end up remembering you, i'll just have to fall in love all over again." he said smiling at the boy who quickly became a cherry red. Gerard giggled and turned back to the book. "okay fine!" he laughed.

the first few pages of the book were filled with colorful drawings of superheroes and cartoon characters. Frank told Gerard the story behind all those he remembered. Frank picked up the book to show Gerard one of his favorite drawings and a paper fell out. Gerard grabbed it and studied it. on the page was a red person and a slightly shorter green person. Frank smiled.

"we could only pick one color. i chose green and you chose red. i drew you," he pointed to the red person, "and you drew me," he said pointing to the green person. 'Gee and Frankie' was scribbled at the top in blue pencil. Frank looked at Gerard. "does this prove that i did move in next door and we were friends?" Frank asked. Gerard looked at him in awe.

"so you aren't full of shit.." he trailed off.

"no Gerard, i'm not full of shit." Frank laughed and closed the book. he handed it back to Gerard who put the book and the picture back. he turned his little light off and the room was engulfed in darkness. they both got under the covers. "Gerard, is it okay if we cuddle?" Frank asked quietly.

"c'mere" Gerard smiled as he moved closer to the younger and hugged him. they fell asleep in each others arms as they'd done many times before. Frank was happy that night. so was Gerard.
