Stepping off the platform Frank felt his stomach turn. This is real, this was about to happen. A five minute walk and he arrived out the front of a very traditional house. As he stood to face the oak door and raised his hand he felt himself get sick. What if this was a terrible idea, this is a stranger he met on the internet. What if his pretty boy is actually some creepy old man. What if. Thousands of scenarios were playing through Frank's head at once and he decided this was a bad idea, he couldn't go through with this. He couldn't face the reality if Gerard wasn't the same as the boy he'd fallen in love with online. Frank didn't want to admit it but Gerard has become the only real meaning in his life, his motivation. Waking up in the morning he didn't want to get up, but he did, to look at his phone and head to his shitty fast food job, counting down the days until he could meet the one who truly made him happy. Frank couldn't handle that being taken away from him. He didn't want to.He lowered his head and turned back around, he was just going to go home.

That was, of course, before a certain oak door creaked open behind him. With his back to the door, a singular step off of the front porch, Frank completely froze.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't even hear you knock, I can-"  That voice, so softly spoken. Without ever hearing the voice himself he knew exactly who the higher pitch belonged too. Turning around in a quick movement Frank comes face to face with him. Mother fucking Gerard. With a shake in his voice Frank chokes out
"Surprise?"
Gerard's eyes glaze over as he immediately pulls the shorter boy into his chest
"Frankie" he whispers, wrapping his arms around him.

Frank could've swore his heart stopped. This was real. With a tight squeeze and maybe a tear or two, definitely, Frank became weak in Gerards arms, almost melting into them completely. What felt like an eternity was just spent by the boys embracing each other in utter silence. For the first time in 19 years Frank felt loved.
