*5*

Frank and I both walked into the library and sat at our spot, we had gotten there before Pete and Patrick had, which was nice. I like spending time with Frank, he's making me more sociable and less aggravated, honestly makes me feel safe to be at school again. I sit down on the couch and frank decides to sit on the floor next to me. I look down at him, "Frank why are you on the floor?" I giggle but I'm confused.

"I dunno-" he smirks and yanks my legs to pull me down inches next to him, I land on my butt, "Now we're both on the floor." He laughs and I pout, I don't mind being on the floor but the couch is a lot more comfortable. I remember sitting on the floor with my old friends, though they would always sit outside in the cold, waiting for the boys to notice them, I hated that, and I'm happy I don't have to do that with Frank. His laughter falters and he manages to catch my gaze with his golden brown eyes, with a small quieter smile plastered on his lips.

"Y/N" His voice is so quiet it was almost a whisper, "I'm so happy you're with me right now, I honestly don't know what I would be doing if I wasn't your friend, probably alone in a different corner of the school." I see him intertwine our fingers and I felt my heart skip a beat, I look back to his eyes, the beautiful pools of hazel, calming and speckled, I look down at his lips, he bites his lip ring again.

"Y/N I-" Pete and Patrick walk in, of course.

"Hey guys! thought we'd stop by the food hall and I got us some cookies." Pete holds up two family sized bags of mini cookies. Me and Frank jump away from each other, I feel the heat rise up to my face, burning my ears and my cheeks. Frank has a coy grin, he stretches his arms up,

"Pass!" Frank reaches for the bag and Pete throws it at him the bag makes a crunching sound at the impact. Patrick snatches the other one out of Pete's hands before he could throw it. "Don't throw them around so hard Pete you're gonna break all the cookies inside.."

Pete and Patrick sit down across from us, and we all got along! Pete and Patrick are also into music, Frank was stoked about this, I can play a little guitar but I'm no expert- like I'm sure the rest of the guys here are.

It was after school and Frank had told me his address. My stomach starts to turn, my life is changing so much around me and I'm honestly really nervous. His friends will end up hating me, just like Frank will, just like Pete and Patrick. It's only time before something will happen I can feel it.
I feel my heartbeat quicken, and I try calm myself down.

I get in the shower and wash my hair, afterwards I put on a small amount of makeup and change into some baggy black ripped jeans, with my favourite top and some converse. I look in the mirror and I don't look too bad¿ my hair was still a little damp but it'll dry off.
I check my Phone to see the time: 4:36

I leave a note for my mom telling her where I'm at. Frank won't mind I'm early right? Just a little early.
I search up his address and start walking, shoot, he doesn't live too far from here.

I arrive at Frank's house, it's really nice- modern, green grass, wooden patio, really homely. I go up the small steps to his big front door, and I push the doorbell. I hear shuffling behind the door and I'm greeted with Frank, in a towel.

"I-I'm so sorry I'm early.. I can wait outside if you want!" My cheeks start to burn as I scan his slightly toned torso.. fuck. I see small tattoos scattered across his chest, and one streamline along his hips. I make an effort to not stare as I feel my ears start to get hot.

"Nono you're fine!! Happy you found my house alright! Mind if I quickly go up and change though? You can have a look around inside." I nod as fast as I can trying to not make a fool of myself as Frank goes up the stairs.

I walk inside and see how unexpectedly tidy his house is, I look on the wall and see some family pictures, lots of baby photos, they were all him, I didn't think he had any siblings. I hear Frank coming down the stairs, plain black t-shirt, and ripped skinny jeans- he looked good, it's always strange but nice to see what people look like without a school uniform on its like getting to see someone's personality.

"Yep I was a cute little chub baby!" He giggles and pulls me into an unexpected- but comforting hug, his arms feel so good around me and I melt, breathing in his cologne, spicy and warm.
Frank lets out a sigh "This is kinda weird but you smell so nice." He says softly, and I giggle and he slowly moves away, which is kinda sad, another thing added to the mental list, he's a great hugger.

Frank looks into my eyes, smirks and tugs my hand, "c'mon I'll show you around." I follow behind him and he leads me toward his super open living room, the kitchen was in the corner, divided by a small wall, and I could see out into his backyard- is that a pool- "Wow Iero I didn't know you were a rich boy."

He laughs, "Yeah I guess you could say that, both mom and dad work as doctors, they're hardly home- guess they think money buys love.." his smile faltered a little before he looks back at me and his bright smile comes back.

"Come I'll show you my room!" He takes my hand in his again and he walks me up the stairs, we walk down a short corridor and instantly, I knew this was Frank's room. Covered wall to ceiling in posters I recognised; Ramones, Sex pistols, Misfits, The clash, and others. I'm amazed, and Frank obviously sees my face and laughs. My eyes scan the room, desk in the corner, double bed in the middle of the room, standard bedroom stuff. I think without all the posters on the walls you would never know this room was Frank's.

"We have some time before the guys get here, wanna watch some tv?" Frank looks over to me, I forgot I was meeting other people. "Yeah totally!"

We walk back downstairs and walk over to the large black leather couch. Frank sits down, I sit next to him, and he turns on the tv, opening the Netflix app, and we both agree on Spongebob, because, c'mon.
I feel Frank rest his arm behind me on the couch and I scooted closer giving him permission to wrap his arm around me. I start to feel my eyes get heavy and I fall asleep on Frank's shoulder.
