A/N: ok so i was bored at like two a.m. last night, while it was storming, and got the idea for this. Sorry if it sucks, I wrote it in a hurry.

Thunder boomed outside as Gerard cowered under the covers of his hotel room bed, hands clamped firmly over his ears, his eyes squeezed tightly shut. The band was in Dallas, Texas, on the Black Parade tour, and it just so happened to be storming very hard outside.

This didn't bother the rest of the band, but Gerard was VERY afraid of storms, and, having been told by a teasing Mikey about the numerous tornadoes in the area, his adrenaline from that night's show was NOT helping his nerves. He'd been trying to go to sleep for a few hours, but the low thunder had started about two hours ago, and thirty minutes ago turned into a full-out storm.

Against his will, a small whimper escaped his mouth as lightening lit up the room, and he hoped that none of the rest of the band heard that, even though they were all in separate rooms. His wish was for granted, however, for a half minute later, Frank knocked softly on his door, and walked in despite Gerard telling him to go away from under the covers.

"What do you want?" mumbled Gerard as Frank sat down on his bed. Frank raised his hands defensively. "Just thought I heard something in here. You ok, dude?"

"I'm fine," snapped Gerard, but his point was defeated a few seconds later with the next huge clap of thunder; he squeaked and wrapped his arms around the closest thing to him, which just so happened to be Frank.

Said person looked down at the blonde-haired man latched firmly around him, smiling softly. He had always had a soft spot for Gerard. Well, more like a huge crush that he could never ever get over no matter how hard he tried.

Gerard suddenly realized what he was doing, and he sheepishly looked up at Frank, who was smiling down at him. "I hate thunderstorms," he mumbled, burrowing into Frank's side, causing the shorter man's heart to break just a little. Gerard squeezed tighter as lightning struck once more. Frank leaned down and, against his better judgment, pressed his lips against the top of Gerard's head.

Gerard looked up at him, his eyes wide, still holding Frank in his arms. He started to open his mouth, but frank put a finger against the blonde's lips and said, "Shhh. I'll stay here with you, let's get some sleep."

Frank grabbed the blankets and pulled them up over Gerard and himself, easing the still-trembling man down onto the mattress. When Gerard was situated, Frank laid down behind him, wrapping him in his arms. "You're safe now," he whispered into Gerard's ear, causing the man to shiver. Frank kissed the back of his neck and closed his eyes, Gerard doing the same a few seconds later.

They woke up the next morning, still cuddling, the storm finally passed. Gerard woke up first and wondered what Frank was doing in his bed, but then he remembered the events of the night before. Although he didn't know what was gonna happen next, when Frank woke up, he was aware of two facts: one, he felt safe, and two, he'd never slept as well as he did that night in his life.
