After reading your exert in the Rate The Story thread, I was really interested so I decided to have a read. And I can honestly say that I love the way you portray Frank in this.
His character is so understated. He seems so weak; so lost; so confused at times yet he has some sort of strength to him as well.
Then, I remembered. He already knew.
Gerard coming to his rescue, I thought it was him; rather I was hoping it was him and was glad to see that it was.
I loved that line! Such a real reaction when you think about it. I can see his mind racing, just so adorable.
I have to admit I didn’t think that Gerard would straight ask him, and laughed when he did. So much for Frank’s stealth attempts at stalking. :) And Gerard remembering his name, as soon as I read it, I knew he was going to mention that.
"Everyone has bad days. Looks like today is all yours, Frank." I love this line!
And I give you serious points for Franks dream! :) Their conversation in the park has really grown on me. There’s so much unknown about both characters and from this you get the picture that there is a hell of a lot more than what lies skin deep.
"Knowing you can't have something you want so badly. It kills you." Gerard’s little bursts of wisdom are starting to be one of my favourite things about this so far. He just knows the right thing to say to Frank, at exactly the right time.
And it was then when I realized that this was no crush. Indeed, this boy is in way over his head.
I absolutely detest Eric, someone needs to knock him on his ass, well and truly.
Even though it was much to Frankie’s dismay, I grinned what I read this line, And, as if I my 'thank God' was cursed, Gerard turned the corner and marched into the park.
I really do like this. Your writing is beautiful; you seem to be a descriptive writer who can put it across in a few words, something that I love because I am the complete opposite.
And I am seriously interested in where you are going to take this story.
So. Since you didn't update Hush, lmfaoo, I decided to read your other stories. well the ones with the most chapters anybryar.
can I just say this paragraph: He looked back. I stared into his perfect eyes, his one feature that brought me to wanting him so badly. They were a pool of green; they shone in the sunlight and created a sparkle in each eye that I couldn't help staring at. His eyes drew me in like pools; so deep, so still, so beautiful. And all I wanted to do was dive right in.
is FUCKING AMAZING?
srsly. It's so descriptive and flows oh so nicely...ahh it's like a dream.
"I took a deep breathe, observing yet again his perfect features. His perfect pink lips that were always parted ever so slightly. His perfect, slim nose placed right in the center of his face, his perfect jet black hair that swung across his face... and, of course, his eyes. Who could forget his eyes."
I love it. :) Take your time updating, I know how much of a hassle it is to just feel like you have to update. It's not a good feeling, is it? Especially not when you love writing so much, and then it ends up like, being begrudging because you feel like your being pressured to update. Never get like that. If you do, then take a few days off and just breath a little. Don't get on, don't try to update. Just take it easy. And when you come back, your creative juices will be so much bettter. I promise.
Hey! I just wanted to tell you that I love this story so far. I'm usually not a big fan of Gerard/Frank stories, but this one is really good! More please?
This is gonna sound melodramtic but I was just focusing on how much I hate my life and then I read your story and Gerard's whole thing about "everyone has bad days"... and honest to god, it cheered me up. it made me wonder if my bad mood is just in my head. and ppl say it's cliche but i really like it. and i'm definitly craving a cigarette now...
