Frerard - Null (Null Trilogy Part 1)

Part 8

I'd fallen asleep in my bed after crying to myself for a little while. I didn't often cry, for Mikey's sake, but I knew he was pissed at me, so the night prior had seemed ideal.

I groaned, turning over, and rose to my feet, grabbing my phone from its docking station. My eyes widened.

'Frankie: Gerard? I'm sorry for leaving.'

'Frankie: I know you just wanted to protect Mikey...'

'Frankie: Gee please don't hate me...I'm sorry...'

'Frankie: I threw away my blades for you...'

'Frankie: Please meet me at the park at 2...'

'Frankie: if you don't show up, I won't blame you...'

Tears came to my eyes and I glanced at the clock. Half past 1. I had to go, or I ran the risk of losing my best friend. Or was he more than that? I still didn't know. We'd admitted our feelings to each other, but I'd thought we werent ready. Maybe that had changed in the past few days?

I threw some clothes on quickly, brushing my hair lazily and leaving without a word to my mother or Mikey. I'd win Mikey over later. Frank was my top priority at that moment.

I took a steadier walk to the park. I didn't want to seem too desperate. Despite my thoughts, however, Frank was already sat on a swing, pushing himself a little, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular. He spotted me when I entered the gate and stared at me in happy relief.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you, Frank..." I signed slowly. "it was wrong of me. Please don't hate me..."

"I could never hate you, Gee..." Frank signed. "I'm sorry too."

"it's all in the past. Friends?"

He shook his head and I teared up. "Why not?" I signed weakly, thinking I'd lost him.

"I don't want to be your friend anymore..."

"oh..." my tears threatened to escape.

"I want more than that."

"What?" I stepped closer, startled.

"Gerard Way, you are perfection. Will you be my boyfriend?"

I gasped, signing emphatically, "yes!"

Frank giggled happily and stood up, wrapping his arms around my waist. I stared into his eyes before leaning forward and kissing him passionately.

"I have news for you, Gee," he signed when we broke the tender kiss. "But I'll tell you later. Right now... I just wanna kiss you."

"I'm fine with that," I giggled, pressing our lips together again.

In that moment, I swore I could hear his heart beating.

-----

Upon arriving home, I decided to talk to Mikey. Frank accompanied me, not wanting me to go it alone. I was extremely grateful to my boyfriend.

Boyfriend. Being able to say that in context with Frank made butterflies whirl in my stomach.

I narrowed my eyes and told Frank to stay still, feeling harsh vibrations. I bit my lip as I treaded upstairs as lightly as possible, detecting that they were coming from Mikey's room. My eyes went wide and I burst in, freezing.

Bob was fucking my brother.

Mikey jumped when I ran into his room. Bob looked up from where he was buried inside my brother's ass, startled. I screamed, though it probably came out as something a lot different seeing as I didn't know what a scream sounded like.
