Bitter and the Sweetness ☥ Frerard

☥ Prologue ☥

From the first time Gerard bumped into him and looked inside his shocked, hazel orbs after helping him gather his things that were knocked down, to the times he watched him laughing with his friends at lunch, he felt there was something off and different about Frank Iero. Not particularly in a bad way, but in a good way that just wouldn't let him get his mind off of the short, sweet, and timid- yet outgoing- boy.

Maybe it was the way Frank stumbled over his words and was always flustered while Gerard was talking with him. Or maybe it was the way he seemed so shy and afraid when he was by himself, but could be so energetic and loud around people he was close with. Whatever it was, Gerard was just intrigued.

But instead of being a normal, decent human being and actually making real conversation with Frank, he flirted. Gerard flirted his way through everything. When he was uncomfortable he would flirt, when he was upset he would flirt, no matter who it was with. So when Gerard pulled out possibly one of the cheesiest pick up lines ever, he mentally smacked himself for being such an idiot right at the start.

Instead of saying something along of the lines of "Hey sorry I bumped into you, I'm Gerard," He said, "Hey sorry, I couldn't see where I was walking, I was just so blinded by your beauty. By the way, I'm Gerard."

Although Gerard used the worst line ever, Frank still flushed a light shade of crimson, and stumbled out a shaky and quiet, "It's okay, uh- I'm Frank."

Gerard had expected Frank to immediately become annoyed and roll his eyes at the worst kind of attempt to flirt, he didn't expect him to see him react the way he did. And maybe that was another reason why Gerard was so intrigued by him; Frank was just so different from everyone else. So Gerard made up his mind; he was going to his way into Frank Iero's life.
