“Just one time..”, Frank pleads to Gerard, there’s no reason to beg since Gerard can never say no to him. Gerard hesitates but before he can speak, Frank pulls Gerard’s neck to get him closer and their lips link together. Swiftly, the kiss transitioned to their tongues going into each others mouths. Before going farther, Frank hears someone yelling his name.
“Frank!”, Mikey yells into Frank’s ear and that’s when he realized it was all just a dream, unfortunately. Mikey asks, “What the hell were you dreaming about?”. Frank just rolled over in bed, refusing to answer that question. “Anyways, Gerard and Ray just came over a few minutes ago, I was trying to wake you up since they wanted to see you.”. Frank hearing those words, finally got up and looked at Mikey, “Tell them that I’ll be down in a few.”, Mikey nodded and got out the room, leaving Frank alone to change and also his thoughts about that strange dream. He’s been dreaming similar situations like his recent dream all week, it’s about to drive him mad. Not because he hates the dreams, mostly because he’s aware they’ll never be real.
Frank came into the living room with an outfit that was poorly picked out. “Mornin’.”, Frank sounding like he was still in bed. “It’s 1pm, I forgot to tell you that when waking you up.”. Mikey said in a deadpan tone, resulting in a smile forming from Gerard and Ray’s lips. Frank let out a sigh as he was full of embarrassment now, in the midst of his embarrassment, Ray tries to comfort him. “It’s all good Frank, we all forget the time sometimes!”, Ray said with a smile on his face, looking like he was about to laugh. Gerard plays along, “Don’t be embarrassed, come over here!”, he says while waving his hand from Franks direction to the couch. Frank goes over to the couch and sits next to Gerard, he glanced at Gerard, who was already chatting with Ray before Frank got the confidence to say anything. Frank only was looking at Gerard for a second but that second turned into a minute, he couldn’t help but admire how Gerard was so effortlessly beautiful. His moment of admiration got cut off abruptly by the sudden turn of Gerard’s head, facing towards him, who notices Frank’s stare. He playfully shoves Frank’s shoulder and says, “You sure you’re not still asleep?” with an oblivious smile. “I’m sure, I didn’t think it looked like I was..”, Frank says while trying to avoid eye contact. He looks at Gerard for a quick second and sees him still smiling but talking to Ray again. Frank interrupts their conversation with a question, “Do you guys want to go out tonight? I was thinking about going to a club if you guys are down.” Gerard is the first one to say ‘Yes’, Ray and Mikey also end up agreeing.
The night came and all four guys were at a crowded club, Ray and Mikey were together at the bar, leaving Frank and Gerard behind, still stuck in the crowd. Gerard had his hand gripped on to Frank’s arm trying to guide them both to the bar, Frank was obviously flushed and didn’t want Gerard to let go. Eventually he did let go once they made it, “God, how did you two get here so fast?”, Gerard yelled to Ray and Mikey. Frank zoned out of the conversation Gerard created and just fidgeted with his jeans belt loops while looking at Gerard; who was doing all the talking. Frank abruptly walked to the bartender and asked for two beers, in mind he was hoping to get a moment alone with Gerard. He grabbed the two drinks and went up to Gerard, “Hey! Do you want to sit down over there?”, Frank yelled into Gerard’s ear while signaling at two empty seats a bit far from Ray and Mikey. “Sure!”, Gerard yelled back and waved bye to Ray and Mikey.
Once they both sit down next to each other, Gerard grabs his drink and begins to drink. Frank was a bit intimidated to speak but before he can Gerard does. “Why’d you tell me to come over here with you?”, Gerard asks and turns his head to look at Frank. “Well, I didn’t want to interrupt Ray and Mikey…”, Frank replies with a tense smile. Gerard smiles and puts his hand on Frank’s shoulder, “It’s okay, we should definitely talk more anyways, I’d love to know more about you.” Frank smiles back at him and nods to Gerard’s comment. That single sentence encouraged Frank to be more confident to talk to Gerard, I mean, what could go wrong?
