The Feeling of Love and Terror

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: 

Franks POV

It was quiet, too quiet. I look up, and Gerard is staring at me. Again. But with this time with his jaw open. Uh oh...

"Do you not like it?" 

"Are you kidding me Frank?!" I pulled down my shirt, feeling ashamed. "I love it!" 

"Look I... what?" I was sort of shocked, but mostly relieved. It's my choice and liking to get another tattoo, but I still want his opinion on it because his opinion matters to me. Gerard matters to me. I'm in love with them... or, that's what I think I am. Gosh, why is being gay so confusing? 

My tattoo was a dove on my lower left chest. I don't really know why I got it, I just thought it would be a nice touch for me. So if Gerard liked it, I liked it even more. 

"I said I like it... well, actually I said I loved it!" Gerard exclaimed. Wait, is he trying to flirt with me?

"Phew, I thought you were gonna say the opposite."

"Now why would I say that? Besides, any tattoo looks sexy on you."

Woah. Wait. What did he just say? I look up at him in surprise and confusion, and he is blushing like crazy, but looks like he is in complete fear at the same time. 

"Wait, did you just call me sexy?" I couldn't believe it. The guy I'm totally in love with called me sexy. I can just drop dead now. 

"I...um... yeah, I did... I guess." Gerard stutters while rubing the back of his neck. To break the awkward tension, he puts in "I'm gonna go get ready for the day. Isn't Mikey and Ray coming over soon?" 

Shit. Totally forgot. Mikey is Gerard's little brother and Ray is our really good friend from high school. Both Mikey and Ray I'm really close with... but this gorgeous man in front of me just called me sexy. I'm still in shock. I need sometime to collect myself.

"Oh yeah, they are," I stated, "Here, let me get your cup."

"No, I got it."

I feel something brush against the skin of my hand. I look, and it's Gerard hand. We both reached for his empty cup of coffee. Butterflies flutter through my stomach as I see and feel Gerard's hand on top of mine. My body feels like sparks are going off and tingling through my whole body. I look at Gerard and he looks at me, and I can tell he is feeling the same way. Yes!

I could't help but stare into Gerard's eyes. I could just kiss him right now. In fact, that's what I am going to do! I then realize that my hand is still with Gerard's so I pull it away. He giggles and so do I. His laugh is so adorible... why can't you just be mine?"

"Umm, Frank, are you..." I put my finger to his lips. 

"Shh, don't say anything." 

I stroke my hand down his cheek, onto his shoulder, and around his neck. I'm starting to close my eyes and lean in, hoping that he is doing the same. I re-position myself so now I am hovering over Gerard. I feel his breath blow onto my face and trying to contain myself, I continue the slow pace of leaning in closer... and closer... and...
