Waking up Saturday morning to warmth around me and a snoring boy in my ear was oddly comforting and also semi weird considering Gerard is a vampire. Guess vampires need sleep too. I shift slightly, noticing my left arm is trapped between Gerard and I now that I'm laying on my back and Gerard's arm lay heavy over my waist still. I can't help but sigh deeply at the feeling of comfort in my chest.
Except now that I think about it, I'm hungry and I'm like 80 percent sure I did not get food last night. Ughhh. I try to sneakily wiggle out of Gerard's grasp, but being close to the wall means I don't have any good escape routes. His arm tightens around my waist as I try to sit up.
"Five more minutes," Gerard mumbles, shifting and pressing his face against my hip. His other arm wraps around my hips holding me sitting there.
"Gee." I whisper, pushing his hair out of his face. "I'm pretty sure it's already late by now." I smile down as he scrunches his nose and tightens his hold on me.
"No."
"But I'm hungry." A small laugh escapes my lips.
"But sleep," He shifts, putting his head on my thigh.
"I didn't even know you could sleep." I laugh.
"Sometimes," Gerard mumbles.
I roll my eyes at his 'explanation'. "Okay well, I'm a hungry human so you gotta let me go please."
Gerard groans obnoxiously before letting go and laying back on his pillow. "You're mean."
I smile down at him. "Pretty sure we have more time to sleep in the future. Sorry that I'm hungry." I roll my eyes and give him a small kiss on his head before jumping over him and out of bed.
"Meanie."
I laugh and roll my eyes as I reach up and stretch out my back for a second. "See you up stairs, Sleeping Beauty." I smile down at Gerard before turning and heading to the stairs.
Gerard groans behind me, face slightly flushed, as I walk up the stairs and I can't help but laugh at him. Making my way into the kitchen I notice it's pretty bright in the Way house meaning it's probably noon, maybe later. Mikey must have figured we were exhausted and just let us sleep. I turn into the kitchen only to find three people sitting at the table.
"It's too early for this." I say turning away from the boys and heading to the refrigerator.
"Holy shit are you not wearing pants!" Frank yells.
I freeze. Oh fuck. I'm not wearing pants.
"OH MY GOD!" Frank laughs
"Did you fuck my brother, Y/N?" Mikey says appalled behind me.
"Mikey!" Ray smacks Mikey. "Behave."
Fuuuuuuck.
"No we didn't, get your minds out of the gutter." Gerard says, thank god.
I turn and look at him as he walks into the kitchen. Thank god for vampire hearing! At least for now.
"You're no fun." Frank pouts.
I roll my eyes and continue my search for food, making sure I do not lift my arms at all.
"Yeah, well why are you in my house?" Gerard sass's grumpily as he gets iced coffee from the fridge next to me.
"Rude!!" Frank yells.
"Mikey invited us for video games and.... A show." Ray says with a knowing smirk.
I can't help but flip him off with one hand as I grab orange juice with the other.
"Wow, can't let us tell them on our own?" I narrow my eyes at Mikey but there's a smile on my face anyway. At least this takes care of us awkwardly having to tell them.
Mikey shrugs. "Figured this was easier."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say." Gerard ruffles Mikey's hair as he takes a seat next to him.
I smile and take my glass of oj along with a microwaved breakfast burrito to the table to hang out with everyone.

"You guys want to go to the mall or something?" Ray suggests.
"Sure, why not?" Gerard shrugs.
"Yeah that'll be fun." Mikey adds smiling.
"Y/n, should probably put pants on first." Frank smirks laughing.
"Oh my god. Fuck off, Iero." I roll my eyes standing up from my seat.
"Oh yeah, we should definitely get dressed." Gerard mumbles getting up too and taking my glass and plate from me.
"Yeaaah. I think that would be a smart idea," Frank chuckles.
"I'll kick your ass." I smile at him.
"Not without pants on, you won't." He smiles back.
I roll my eyes, "True." I turn away and start heading back down to the basement to grab some clothes, well my clothes from yesterday I guess. Hopefully Gerard actually washed them. I can hear the boys saying something to Gerard as I head down the basement steps but they're being too quiet for me to make it out.
As I reach the bottom of the stairs Gerard appears next to me with an arm around my waist.
"They don't actually think we did it, ya know."
I can't help the laugh that bubbles up. "I know. I was just more concerned about the fact that I'm not wearing pants." I laugh leaning into Gerard.
"Oohhhh, yeah that makes sense." He chuckles and presses a kiss to my temple. "Hopefully your pants are dry, if not I'll grab some from your house."
"Okay. I can just wear what I wore yesterday anyway. It's not a big deal."
"I have a shirt of yours that you should really take back though. Also then you don't have to wear the exact same thing." Gerard says as he checks the clothes in the dryer.
"You do?" I sit on Gerard's bed and try to think of the last time I forgot a shirt at one of our sleepovers. Well Mikey's and my sleepovers.
"Yeah." Gerard walked over to his dresser and pulled out a baseball tee. "From August?" Gerard smiled shyly as he handed me the shirt.
"Oh fuck," I say a bit taken aback. "That feels so long ago now." I look up at him.
"Yeah," He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. "It really does feel like ages ago." He watches me for a moment before dipping down and pressing a kiss to my cheek. "Uh let me go grab your pants," he chuckles.
"Thanks." I look at the baseball tee in my hand and can't help but think about how absolutely terrifying and vulnerable that night was. If anything, without that night Gerard and I might still be on non speaking terms.
"Here you go," Gerard says above me, holding my pants.
"Thanks, love." I stand up and take the pants from him putting them down on his bed behind me.
"Is everything okay?" He questions seeing me putting my clothes down.
"Yeah, I'm just," I sigh and put my arms around his shoulders pulling him close to me. Gerard's hands find their way to my waist in an instant. "I'm just kind of glad you nearly killed me back in August." I laugh.
"Oh my god," Gerard rolls his eyes and pulls me closer in. "I cannot believe you would say that."
"Hey!" I shrug, still holding onto him. "If you didn't, we wouldn't be together now."
He rolls his eyes again. "I guess. It's just never going to happen again, Pumpkin."
"Oh yeah?" I raise an eyebrow with a mischievous smirk on my lips.
"Yeah," He smiles and dips down pressing his lips against mine rather forcefully. I can't help but smile into the kiss.
"YOU BETTER NOT BE FUCKING DOWN THERE!!!"
"Ughhh," We both groan and roll our eyes at Frank before finally separating and getting dressed for the day.
Making it to the mall made everything feel normal. Like last night wasn't a total horror fest in the worst ways possible. Like Gerard and I didn't almost die. Like we are just normal kids hanging out with our friends and none of us have some crazy secret we have to hide. Just a group of friends hanging out and the only new thing is that two of us are dating. Finally, according to Ray.
