A Kiss and I will Surrender || A Frerard Fanfic

Chapter 10

Gerard put his car keys down, into the bowl they kept all their keys in, and took his jacket off. He just came home from Frank and he was exhausted to say the least. Not because of Frank, but because he was awake since over 24 hours now and he really wasn't used to that.

He trudged down the stairs and walked into his room, slipping out of his shoes and falling into his bed. He didn't bother to take his hoodie and jeans off, despite them being slightly wet and dirty from sitting on Franks porch. They were warm and comfortable, so sleeping in them wouldn't be a problem.

The sun was still rising up slowly, all the birds were awake already, chirping happily. Welcoming the new day. Gerard welcomed the feeling of him slowly drifting off to sleep. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh as he cuddled into his pillow. Suddenly, there was a noise coming from behind him, making him jump up and look at his bathroom in shock. Someone was standing there and closed the door behind themselves.

"Don't worry, it's me", Bert said calmly and walked over to the bed. Gerard sighed and layed back down again.

"Thank god, it's just you", he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I already thought someone had broken in".

"Now? It's already 6am", Bert chuckled and laid down next to his boyfriend.

"Doesn't matter. They could have been here all night and were about to leave just now", he yawned and cuddled into Bert. "Why are you even still here?", he asked.

"I wanted to make sure that you come home safely. And that you're alright", he explained and kissed the top of his head gently. "Did you stay up all night?", he asked, playing with Gerards hair as he did so. The younger of them just nodded and closed his eyes. "Then I guess you're friends again?", he asked softly.

"It was all just a big misunderstanding. I accidentally called his old number, that's why he didn't answer my calls", Gerard explained tiredly.

"Oh. Damn and I told you to ignore him", Bert exclaimed apologetically.

"It's okay. Frank isn't mad or so. You would like him. And he has a concert with his band next week. You could come with me and the others", he smiled softly up at Bert.

"That sounds good. I would like to talk to him, before that though. We had a pretty weird start after all", he laughed nervously. Gerard pecked his lips quickly.

"I can give you his number, then you can text him later if you want to".

"Sounds like a plan", Bert smiled and kissed Gerard gently. Slowly. The younger soon fell asleep in his arms. Bert looked down at him and continued to play with his hair gently.

He was glad that Gerard and Frank were friends again, if they had even stopped being friends at all. But Bert was able to tell that Gerard had missed his friend in those past three weeks. He had been less happy around him and it seemed like he was lost in thought often. Hopefully that would change now.

Bert didn't like to see Gerard like this around him at all.

"You what?!", Ray almost yelled, catching the attention of several people sitting around them.

"Shut up! And yes, I have", Frank hissed back. He was sitting at Starbucks with Ray and he had just told him everything about what had happened with Gerard last night.

"Frank... I don't know what to say. I mean- I'm really proud of you for wishing Gerard the best with this Bert dude, but come on! You've had a crush on him since ages and now that he has a boyfriend your crush is just gone or what?", Ray asked, still incredibly shocked, but at least he wasn't yelling anymore.
