    Summary

    In the near-silence of his bedroom, the sound of his pulse in his ears dwarfs any static audible from the television. The space between one heartbeat and the next feels like eternity. No one has ever believed in him like this before. Believed in them. Frank, by getting this tattoo, has just declared to the entire world that his life is Gerard's. That he is willing to abandon any pretext of a normal future permanently, because he believes in the future they're creating together. And it's all etched in ink on his skin just inches from Gerard's fingertips where Frank sleeps in his lap. In his bed. Gerard wants to laugh until he collapses. He wants to cry until he's choking on it. No one has ever loved him like this before.

    Oh.

    Oh.

    So this is what it feels like. Love. It's intoxicating. Thrilling. Completely, all-consumingly terrifying.

    Gerard wants more of this feeling, forever.
