Addiction ( a frerard fanfiction )

Chapter 10

The next afternoon, Frank was playing video games when he remembered that he still had Gerard's phone.

As it was Sunday, he decided to visit him at his house. 

He was now at the front door. He knocked and a few seconds later, Mikey's mother opened the door and smiled at him  

"Hi! You must be Frank, right?"

"Hello, yes ma'am." 

"Did you came to see Mikey?" 

Frank bit his lips and answered shyly

"Hum...no, actually, I'd like to see Gerard." 

Gerard's mother seemed surprised, she frowned 

"Oh, you know him? I didn't know that you met him already." 

Frank cleared his throat and stammered  

"I met him accidentally the other day, when Mikey invited me over." 

She nodded and smiled 

"Well, please come in!" 

She allowed him in and headed to the stairs 

"Gerard ! Someone's here for you" 

She turned around to face Frank and  asked him kindly 

"Would you like to drink or eat something ?" 

"Oh, no, thanks ma'am, I'm fine." 

Frank heard noises coming from the stairs, when he looked up, he saw Gerard, he looked like he just came out of bed, his hair were messy and he wore a black plain tee-shirt and tracksuit pants. When he saw Frank, he frowned 

"..What are you doing here ?" 

His mother looked at him and raised her voice 

"Gerard, don't tell me you just woke up !" 

 "Mom..." he sighed 

Gerard looked at Frank and crossed his arms

"What do you want ?" 

Gerard's mom gave him a black look

"You could be more polite with your guest. Invite him up to your bedroom, it would be a good start. " 

Gerard rolled his eyes and sighed 

"Would you please follow me, sir. " he said sarcastically

"Gerard." his mother growled 

Gerard smirked and went upstairs, followed by Frank. 

Once in his room, he closed the door and opened his desk drawer, then he grabbed a pack of cigarettes, he took one and lit it.

"So. Frank, right ? What are you doing here ?" 

Gerard took a long drag of cigarette and sat on his bed 

"I...uh, you forgot this yesterday. " 

Frank went into his pocket and  handed Gerard his phone.

Gerard blew the  smoke and grabbed his phone 

"Thanks, I didn't even notice that I didn't have it.  " 

Frank looked around and said 

"Well, I think I'm gonna go" 

He headed for the door but Gerard interrupted him 

"Wait, you're leaving already ?" 

"Yeah.. I only came here to give you your phone back, so... " 

The older boy took another drag of cigarette and smirked

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave me, Frank ?" 

"I'm not.. I.. I just don-" 

"Are you scared of me or something?" Gerard replied, apparently very amused by the situation

Frank frowned  "No !" 

"Then stay." 

Frank sighed, he didn't want to be perceived as the weak guy, not again. 

"Fine." 

Gerard handed him a cigarette 

"Want one ?" 

"No, thanks." 

"Aww, such a good boy." 

"Give me that. " 

"Oh dear, are you rebelling? "

"Shut up Gerard. " 

Gerard laughed and lit Frank's cigarette. A few seconds later, he loosely took Frank's hand and headed for his door, Frank was surprised and a bit embarassed by this  sudden physical contact, he even blushed a little, this gesture was pretty familiar and Gerard and him barely knew each oher, they weren't even friends. Frank was confused, he asked awkwardly 

"What are you doing, where are we going?" 

"Don't be so impatient, gosh."
