Gerard's p.o.v
It didn't take me long to get to Frank's house. It's obvious how I knew where he lived so I didn't have to follow him closely. Soon enough I was on his roof above his bedroom, listening to his head. I couldn't help at cry when he spoke of how much he hated himself. He really couldn't see what I could, could he? Suddenly something changed in his mind as he got an idea. He had moved from his bed and was going to do something. I was panicked and thinking quickly. I knew whatever it was wouldn't be good.
"Oh no, no, no, no, NO!" I muttered to myself when I realised what he was going to do. I knew the blade would already be in his hands, him pulling up his sleeve… Positioning himself…
I pulled out my phone and typed as quickly as I could.
Hey Frank! So sorry bout in the park please forgive me cuz I really like you and want to keep being friend. :) G xox
He had given me his number in the park and he had mine. I put send and was shaking with fear. I couldn't let him do this to himself. God dammit he was too beautiful for this!
I listen for his thoughts but suddenly couldn't hear anything. Now I was really freaked out. Will I have to go down there? I jumped as my phone vibrated and I snapped it open quickly.
Hey Gee. It's cool sorry for being such an asshole as well. But like friends again? F xox
Finally my heart returned to a normal pace.
Defo. Wanna come back and go get some coffee? G xox
I could also hear his thoughts again. He had marked three more lines on his left arm. So I guess when he does that I can't hear his thoughts. That's not very good…
Sure meet at the park ASAP? F xox
I'll be there. :) G xxox
I sat and waited until I had seen Frank leave his house safely. And sure enough when he did he headed back towards the park. When he had turned the corner at the end of his street I started jumping from roof to roof. I had practiced this a lot and so I would be there before him.
Franks p.o.v
I began cutting to release my pain when my phone went off on the bed. I had only done three cuts but I went and checked it. It was a text from Gerard. He did care. He apologised to me and I knew right now I didn't need that blade. I responded also apologising and he asked if I wanted to get coffee and so I told him to meet me at the park, made myself look reasonably presentable and left my house.
I made it to the park soon and saw Gerard under the same tree we were under together a couple of hours ago. The whole walk here I couldn't stop thinking of how I had called him Gee and how at the end of all our messages there was a 'xox'. He started it but I guess some people are like that. It's nothing special for you Frank. Oh great now I'm talking to myself. I rolled my eyes and looked at Gerard. I still hadn't entered the park because I was thinking. And once again my thoughts turned in to something along the lines of how hot Gee was. He's straight Frank. But from here it looked as if he had been crying. I felt my heart pang at the thought of Gerard crying so I walked in the park. Hang on should I keep calling him Gee and act casual about it? It was more like a pet name for when you're in a couple.
"Hey Gee!" He turned and smiled when he saw me. Jumping to his feet, he quickly dragged me in to a warm tight hug.
"I'm so sorry Frank."
"Hey it's ok." I felt him begin to cry on my shoulder so I wrapped my arms around his waist. I didn't really mean to but because of my height it was hard not to. Plus it felt really good holding him like this and I was really liking it. I could get used to holding him in this way… But when my arms were wrapped around him he breathed in quickly as if in shock. I tensed up ready for him to move away disgusted. But he didn't. He relaxed again and moved one arm further down my back and the other in to my hair. I nuzzled my face in to the crook of his neck and breathed in deeply. He smelled amazing.
He moved his head back to look at me and I did the same. I looked deeply in to his gorgeous green eyes. They were liked mine but they glowed more vibrantly. It felt as if the distances between our faces were closing in together. But no. He's NOT gay! It must have just been me moving my face closer. Wanting it so bad, too bad.
"So, uh, where'd you want to go to get coffee?" I whispered. Breathing heavily as my heart pounded. Our breath mingled together in the space between our faces. Every part of me was screaming at me to kiss him.
"Don't know. Can't remember many places round here." His voice became a lot deeper when he whispered and it was amazing. I mentally added it to the list of my favourite things about Gerard.
"Well let me take you to one of my favourites." I said grinning. We were still holding each other tightly, with very little space between our bodies. He grinned back at me and so I took his hand and led him out of the park.
Gerard's p.o.v
He wouldn't even mentally deny he had a crush on me now. I had heard him screaming at himself to kiss me and to be honest I was doing the same to myself. I don't know why I didn't. I think because I feel it's not fair on Frank. He's constantly debating with himself and his emotions are a lot more messed up than mine. I think I'll wait until he makes the first move or I can hear that he's sure about it. When he took my hand my heart skipped a beat. I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. We walked hand in hand together to the gate until Frank dropped my hand to jump the fence.
"RACE YA!" He called after me as he started running down the road. I laughed quietly to myself. I knew I'd have to jog as my jog is as much as a humans run. I had soon caught up to him and he was out of breath.
"You ok there?" I asked breathing perfectly normal.
"No…..Way...Oh my god..." He was panting heavily. "Ok... So it's like, round the corner now." He started strolling away beginning to control his breathing better.
We walked together in to the little coffee shop he had dragged us in to.
"So what do you want frank?" I asked walking in to the Que.
"Oh umm…Surprise me." And he placed his money in my hand and walked to a table near the back in shadows. No way was he paying for his own coffee. I ordered our drinks and walked back and sat beside him.
"Here." I gave him his coffee and money. He looked slightly shocked.
"Gerard you were supposed to use this money for my coffee."
"Nah my treat. I'll just make you pay me back in some other way later on." I sipped at my coffee, relishing the taste as I loved it so much. I knew exactly how he would pay me back in the future. But it would mean him letting me in his house seeing as I didn't have a bedroom… We talked about nothing again until I decided now was a good enough time to tell him so that he knew.
