The day before Gerard's birthday (last night) Jenna gave Frank Gerard's gift. Of course Frank was super pleased and so thankful that she got it there at all let alone in time. He thanked her repeatedly before hiding the gift under their bed and falling asleep with his boyfriend.

Now it was the morning of Gerard's birthday, he was officially 18, officially an adult.

Frank gently pressed a soft kiss to Gerard's forehead, humming softly.
"Wake up baby, its your birthday."
Gerard just rolled over still sound asleep.
"Baby- Gee? Happy birthday love."
Frank whispered in an attempt to wake his sleeping lover.

Finally, Gerard woke up with a grin plastered on his face.
"G'morning Frankie." Gerard sighed wrapping his arms loosely around Frank (who was hovering over Gerard)'s neck. Frank leaned down just enough to kiss Gerard which widened Gerard's smile even more than before and Frank seriously didn't think that was possible.

"You're an adult now!" Frank stated.
"Yeah, its crazy. I still feel like a 5 year old." Gerard giggled.
"Does this make you a pedophile now?" Frank laughed in a joking manner.
"Don't even Frank! You'll be 18 in 5 months!" Gerard laughed.

Frank felt kind of bad for lying but it wasn't like he could exactly tell the truth either. Gerard was right after all, well sort of. It would be Franks birthday in 5 months but he would be 19, not 18. Frank was already 18.
He had to be to even go on this mission anyways. It was a little white lie it was fine- just a year.

"I have a present for you!" Frank exclaimed.
"Oh- Frankie you didn't have to get me anything-" Gerard started as Frank reached under the bed and handed him a wrapped rectangular gift.
" I know, but i wanted to." Frank smiled.
"Go ahead, open it." Frank encouraged.
Gerard nodded before ripping into the thin wrapping paper. It was purple and had little bats all over it.

Gerard let the wrapping paper fall to the floor as it revealed the very limited edition comic book he had wanted for months. Gerard's mouth hung open slightly out of pure surprise.
"Do you like it?" Frank asked.
"Frankie I love it! Thank you!" Gerard squealed standing up to give Frank a tight hug.

Gerard skimmed through the pages before deciding he would read it later so he could spend more time with Frank right now.

"What so you wanna do today?" Frank asked with a soft smile.
"Hmm well when a camper has a birthday they get a cupcake so we could share that and then go hang out in the treehouse for a bit." Gerard suggested.

Eventually the worker who supplies their food dropped off Lunch which included the cupcake Gerard had mentioned. Gerard insisted on cutting the small cake in half and sharing it but Frank wouldn't accept it so he just watched Gerard eat it instead.

When Gerard finished the cupcake the two headed to the treehouse.

They were expecting it to be empty so they could go in and make out and play games of sorts but instead they came face to face with a small fuzzy horned creature covered in blood.

Gerard jumped out of shock while Frank hesitantly approached the creature.

"N E D!" Gerard screeched.
Frank whipped around.
"What?"
"NED CAME TO GET REVENGE OH MY FUCKING GOD SAVE ME!" Gerard screamed before practically sprinting out of the treehouse while the small creature chased after him with a butchers knife in hand.

After a moment of processing what had just gone down Frank chased after Gerard in an attempt to figure out what the hell was going on. He was prepared for most things but nobody had told him about this NED thing- why hadn't they mentioned this?

***

"Gee baby- what happened?" Frank asked while he stood over a very much dead NED.
"Uh I should probably start from the beginning before Tyler finds me."
Frank nodded.

Gerard encouraged Frank to sit down on a nearby bench while he explained everything.

"So when Tyler and Josh first came to this camp they would play in the woods a lot. Everyone knows 'play' meant mess around but thats not important, anyways one day they found this really small kitten like thing and the camp decided that they could keep it as a local camp pet of sorts as long as Tyler took the responsibility of caring for it."

"So Tyler would care for it everyday and it got bigger and bigger- anyways one time I made the mistake of jokingly calling Tylers new baby ugly and there were repercussions. NED went all psycho on me and so the camp workers set him free in the wild and Tyler had a really hard time forgiving me for robbing him of his son but he eventually got over it and we're all good. But NED promised me he would get revenge and I don't know it just happened. I didn't mean to kill him." Gerard screeched.

"Ive really done it this time Frankie! Tyler will never forgive me, he forgave me on the basis of the comfort he received knowing NED was safe and happy in the wild- NOW HES DEAD AND ITS MY FAULT!" Gerard cried.

Frank was drawing another blank. He knew this camp was weird- like really weird but this crossed a whole other line. How many of these stories were there that Gerard had yet to mention? What kind of creature was NED and where did he come from? Why did NED come for revenge on Gerard's birthday 2 years later?

"What am I gonna do Frankie? Tyler can't find out we have to bury him!" Gerard whimpered tugging at the dead body and trying to pull up dirt from the ground with nothing but his hands.

"Gee baby stop. Ill help you but I wanna talk for a minute first okay." Frank encouraged.
"Calm down love, its okay. Tyler won't find out. It's not your fault you were defending yourself." Frank continued.
Gerard nodded sitting down on Franks lap.

"Are there any other- 'stories' you haven't told me?" Frank asked.
Gerard held a blank face and he searched his memory for something of the sorts.

"Do you wanna hear about the time Brendon ran around the camp butt naked and twerked on the kitchen table while the lunch lady made a casserole, or how about the time Ray got caught selling cheerio dust to other campers so they searched his dorm for cheerios, or the time where Ryan built a home for the local Teletubbies or-

Frank cut Gerard off.
"Uhm- you know what Im good baby, maybe later." He said with a fake smile, pressing a kiss to Gerard's cheek.
"Okay." Gerard smiled.

"Can you get me a shovel?"
