Wow. That was beautifully written. I want to quote some of my favourite parts, but jeez, that would take up the whole page! I really, really can't get enough of this story :tehe: Update sooooon ;D
Yeap, I agree with Lizzy ^ That was an fantastic kiss scene. I love the way Gerard acts so caringly towards Frank... very emotive scene.
Gah, I'm so in love with this story. You are an amazing writer. I got confused for a second when Frank wrote something down and then got up because I read it wrong and I was like 'What the hell just happened?' Then I figured it out. Anyways, them kissing, and the tracing over the words 'i need you' on Gerard's arm make me smile like a fool. This story is so amazing. ♥♥♥
The update was so beautiful! ♥ Aww! :cute: I feel bad for Frank's lack of communication at school (even more than usual), but the indirect result of it was very positive! They finally kissed each other on the lips, and actually admitted to their feelings. The whole scenario was just gorgeous! I really want to know where they'll go from here. I mean, the relationship is slightly illegal, so they'll have to keep it a secret from most people, I assume. Except the ones they know will be accepting of such a relationship. They're such a lovely couple in this story, and I'm also interested to see how it'll affect Frank's condition. It sure will be very interesting from this point in particular. Thank you so much for the adorable and long update today. It means so much to me that you were willing to take time off college tasks to stay committed to Oh Baby Let Me In. I really can't wait for the next update, which I hope will be written as soon as possible, but keep up with your work and responsibilities! We'll understand. :tehe: Thank you, again! :hug: :arms:
ahhh i just read the whole story in one go! i LOVE it!!! ooo i can't wait to know what happens next...they are so cute together.. i hope you are still updating the story :)
Brilliant story! I'm so glad I came across it :D But just kiss already! You have a really great story here, hope you keep up with it :) Looking forward to the next chapter :D -Katie XxX
Shelby, you give me WAY too much credit. But I thank you for it, and thank you even more for writing this truly wonderful and amazing story! <333
This update has taken you awhile, I know how hard it was for you to write it, but I tell you, it was all worth it... because this is perfect. It's showing the gateway into the future, and into what we all know will turn into a relationship. How can it not be, when they're so into one another already?
This update was full of so many moments that had me falling for Gerard, all over again. He's so sweet in how caught up on Frank he is, like...
I froze when I was a few steps from the door, eyes wide and ears straining to hear just what Frank's voice would sound like.
That is GORGEOUS! He's so into him, and it's beautiful. It shows how much he likes him already... it's truly adorable how intrigued he is by him, and the fact that he's thought about it so many times before... ah wow. Just gorgeous.
Frank is so cute. He's the cutest Frank, ever created. Hands down. But this Gerard is also adorably cute, in the way that he waits for moments like when Mikey leaves the room to make a move with Frank. And what's most adorable about it, is that he isn't even meaning to make a move! He's just acting on impulse, and so caring for this boy that he JUST met. This boy who has intrigued him and has him wanting so, so much more.
The innocense of all of their movements is what makes this story so captivating, I think. Anyone can write a scene where Frank leans up to kiss Gerard's forehead, but... the way you do it, it holds a whole new meaning, I think. Frank can't ask if it hurts, all he can do is lean up and kiss it, and hope that it feels better. And that is beautiful. Poor Frankie. He wants so much to say something, ANYTHING, but he can't. It must be so hard for him...
He stopped when I shifted slightly, and I was afraid that I might have made him more uncomfortable by resting my hand on his hip just below the bruise on his side, but when his fingers started moving again, he smiled.
And I fucking grinned.
*melts, followed by epic flailing*
Oh, those paragraphs were so well written. It's amazing how this story is purely driven on emotions and actions, and not by words. This is what makes this story truly special, there aren't very many out there like this that are so dependant on actions alone.
Like this: He released his lip before running his tongue across it, before letting out a shaky breath and moving to lean forward.
His lips gently pressed against my forehead, lingering for a few seconds, before pulling back.
I forgot to breathe for a total of twelve seconds before realizing I really needed air to live, and after silently heaving as to not startle Frank, I moved the hand that lay on his hip to rest on his hand that was pressed against my neck.
He moved his eyes up from staring at my shirt, to see the grin that I’ve had on my face since he gave me that kiss. My thumb moved along the grooves of Frank's knuckles as I shifted forward, just enough that it was barely noticeable, though my chest was now pressed up against his.
I was still propped up on my elbow, so I had to lean down to press my lips to his hair, whispering a "Thank you"
OHMYGOD! It's those moments where words aren't needed, their actions speak so much louder than words ever could. And that my dear, is what makes this story so, so so special. <3
“Oh, Frankie,” I murmured, before propping myself up on my elbow once again. My other arm reached out over his body to curl my fingers around the back of his neck, and pulled my head forward to let it rest against the side of his own so that I could whisper in his ear.
“I'm sorry I hurt you again.”
*heart breaks* Oh, it's SO good!!
"Frank knows a bit of Italian, so I ask him when I get stuck."
I gawked at my little brother, barely even comprehending what he had just said to me. I haven't even heard Frank speak english, and Mikey's already heard him speak in a whole different language? It was hardly fair that my little brother got to hear him speak at all.
Oh, poor Gerard. I can't imagine how envious of his brother he must be, that he's gotten to even hear Frank speak to begin with. <3
I liked that scene with Mikey, it was lighthearted and cutesey. That's always good to have, such a good balance. And oh, may I say one thing?
SPONGEBOB PJ PANTS FTW!!!!!!!!!! *ahem*
But of course, my favorite part of this update was by far when Frank asked Gerard to stay. It was so beautifully done, the emotions both of them felt... it was gorgeous. Gerard, how he appeared panicked because he feared that Frank would have another attack, but not only that... it was as if he was afraid simply because he wanted Frank to be okay. It scared him that Frank wasn't okay, and I knew when Gerard said that he'd give anything for Frank to be okay, he meant it. And that my dear, is something very few writers are able to do. Write emotions and bring them out, and make them believable. Shelby, it's beautiful.
The way that Gerard feared letting him go even just to walk across the room... OHMYGOD. So many moments had me just, flailing and on the edge of my seat.
Like when Frank had that one single tear that fell... my heart simply broke for him. He wanted for Gerard to say, but he couldn't tell him so. It must be so frustrating for him, and the way that he 'overreacts' is quite simply perfect, because Frank isn't a normal boy. He's a special boy, and I don't mean that at all in a bad way. Gerard realizes this and he loves this fact about him, he wants to know more about him and Frank wants so badly to get over his fear of speaking to Gerard and just... talk to him. Oh, how I can't wait for that moment to come... <333
But all of the kisses, all of the touches, all of their moments... it spoke so much louder than any few hundred words ever could. You did a wonderful job, my dear, and I'm so proud of you for writing this. You know I'm here for you always, and believe me when I say that getting to help out with this is very much an honor :arms:
Aww, damn that was cute, but poor Frank, he just panics. The cuddling and innocent kisses was adorable, and the update was wonderfully written. I loved it, and Lizzie's bitchin' <666
Lizzie is amazing :tehe: This story kinda reminds me of hers.. in that I love it soso much Fantastic update =D I love the characters you've created... Frank is the most adorable, fragile little thing... And I love how Gerard is protective of him, and they way they act so tentative and caring and shy around each other.
