More frerard
And this is based off of how I was feeling about my crush.

Frank laughed, smiling at Gerard.
This was one of the few times he ever did smile, and his smile was actually genuine. It was real- not a faked grin that he would pull to insure people that he was fine.
Frank was the local introvert- never talking to others but friends he was really comfortable with, sharing a smile here and there. In class, he'd stay silent, and that's what the teachers loved about him.
His math and science class were the two classes that he enjoyed the most, as he sat next to Gerard in both of them. They talked frequently, speaking about everything but at the same time, nothing.
Over time, he thought more about their friendship. He felt a strange tugging feeling in his chest, a feeling towards someone that would usually be described as... a crush.
He didn't want to ruin their friendship, and didn't seem to think much of it. He told his best friend about it, getting advice from one of them, stating, "Maybe you should tell him. He could like you back, y'know."
Frank couldn't do it himself. He asked her to tell Gerard for him, and that she did when they entered math class.
They did not speak for the rest of the day.
Over time, they grew more distant. Frank was patient, though, and everyday seemed eventful and he was careful of his thoughts and even his actions. He looked forward to what would happen everyday, just because he wanted to know what Gerard could,or would, say.
Gerard said nothing to him except for asking about homework and such for the next one to two months, and afterwards, he had started to open up.
They spoke more, even though it wasn't as much as before, though Frank was thankful and took it for granted. He knew that, he probably wouldn't like him back, but it was okay. He enjoyed having a crush, watching from afar.
The line that his friend told him continued to repeat in his head. "Maybe he didn't talk to you because he was angry with you, angry because you weren't the one to tell him the truth."
That's what Frank hated about being an introvert.
