I Want You

“Gerard, you’re kidding me right?”
“No, I’m serious”
“But, c’mon, you only just-”
“And? I mean, he wanted to come over and besides, I’m helping him with his art work” I was sitting across from Mikey at a lunch table, he sighed and shook his head “Please?” I pouted
“Just”
“Please Mikey, pretty please?” I widened my eyes and trembled my bottom lip
“Ergh fine”
“Be nice to him, he’s shy” I saw Frankie walking toward me with his friends
“Fine fine, god Gerard” He spoke to his friends then started to walk toward us
“Yay I love you Mikey!” He looked around, I may have said that a bit too loudly. I looked up and saw that Frankie had stopped walking and was looking down, he looked sad.
“Frankie?” He looked up and blushed “Hey come here, sit down”
“If, if that’s okay” He started to walk toward us and I patted the space beside me, he paused then sat down next to me
“How was your lessons?”
“Oh, um yeah they were boring, I fell asleep in one, and doodled in the other one”
“Ah, sounds like me, I draw in math, and fall asleep in every science lesson, no wonder I failed last year”
“Huh?” He must of heard? Everyone heard that I got dropped back a year?
“I got dropped back a year, you must of heard right?” His jaw dropped open
“You? Got dropped back?”
“Um, yeah, I failed some of my exams, I was given the choice to do them again, and I want to go to art school, so I chose to do those exams though”
“You failed art math and science?”
“Only math and science, art does a different exam each year, so I wanted to do another art exam, and get an extra grade”
“Oh, right”
“I’m not stupid, I just didn’t revise for my first exams, I got distracted a lot” Mikey sniggered and I kicked him in the leg underneath the table
“Ow you idiot”
“Don’t laugh at me Mikey”
“Um, I have to go sorry Gee” I looked over and down at Frankie who was blushing
“Oh, why?”
“Cause the bells are about to go and I got to go to lesson”
“Oh, whoops okay, I’ll see you at the gates at the end of school yeah?”
“Oh, uh, um yeah, are you sure that’s still okay?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t have asked you other wise, you wanna come right yeah?”
“Yeah of course!” He looked into my eyes and blushed, I smiled at his cuteness, the bells went and he looked over his shoulder, his friends were standing by a wall, waiting for him
“See you in a bit Frankie” We both stood up
“Yeah, see you Gee” He went to turn away but I quickly wrapped my arms around his shoulders, I held onto him tightly “Gee, I have to go” He giggled into my chest
“But, you’re soft”
“Aw, so are you, we can cuddle later okay? I gotta go” He wiggled out of my grasp, grinned up at me then ran to his friends
“We can cuddle later, Jesus Gerard, he is gay, you were right”
“Shut the fuck up Mikey”
“Just, when I get home, I don’t want to hear the headboard or anything”
“MIKEY!” I punched his arm softly, he frowned at me, then went to lesson.

I was leaning against a tree just outside the gates, looking at the flow of people, looking for Frankie. He hadn’t walked past yet, I was getting a bit worried
“Gerard, I’m going home okay? I’ll see you there?”
“Okay see you Mikey” I watched him walk home and I looked back at the gate. It was now ten minutes past, I’m a bit over paranoid, what if he got hurt? I got out my phone
Hey, um, hi, you coming out?
I held my phone, waiting for him to reply. I looked over my shoulder and saw all the other students had gone, either back home or to the park
“Hey, sorry” I swung around and saw him standing before me
“Jesus, I didn’t hear you coming”
“Oh sorry, I had to call my mum, she said it was fine that I went round yours”
“Ah that’s good, lets go” As we walked back to mine, I felt like holding his hand, to swing it back and forth and to tell him that I loved him
“Hey, so, um, how was your day?”
“Yeah it was good, but boring, I only enjoyed my free period, cause I had art with you” I looked over to find him blushing and smiling to himself
“Thanks, I, I liked art as well”
“Can I ask a question?”
“Mm, go ahead, I mean I guess”
“Why are you so shy?” He looked up at me then quickly looked away
“I’m not usually, it’s only when I’m around people I l-” He stopped suddenly and bit his lip
“Hm?”
“Oh, nothing don’t worry”
“Okay, you don’t have to be shy with me, if you are, then I’ll have to do something”
“Yeah like what?” I smirked then tickled his sides quickly
“GEE! STOP!” I laughed at his face
“Aw, I’m sorry” He pouted
“Yeah you should be”
“And what if I wasn’t?” We walked up my drive and opened my doors
“I’ll tell you later” I raised an eyebrow at him, he just smirked
“Um, okay then, hang on, I’ll tell Mikey I’m home”
“Oh, okay” I ran up the stairs into his room and shoved the door open
“Hey Gerard, Frankie boy here?”
“Yeah, I’ll be in my room most of the evening, I just wanted to say hi”
“Okay, hi, have fun” I grinned and ran back down the stairs
“Hey, you, you okay?” He was standing awkwardly in the middle of my hall
“Yeah”
“Okay, wanna go to my room?” He nodded slightly and I led him downstairs to my room, I’m surprised he didn’t ask about my basement room “You sure you’re okay?”
“Is Mikey your brother?”
“Um, yes, yes he is, why?” He looked slightly relieved then smiled
“Just wondered, I hear you shout out that you loved him and I thought that, that, um, he and you were, you know” He shuffled his feet, I got it and laughed hard
“No! No way! Mikey is my brother”
“Okay, I just wondered” I sat down on my be, he sat on a chair at my desk
“Oh, I remember, you said earlier, that if I wasn‘t sorry you wouldn’t have done something” He blushed and looked down
“Um, yeah”
“Can I ask what it was?”
“You won’t like it”
“How do you know?”
“Cause, um, I duno” I patted the space beside me and he got up then sat right next to me, so our thighs were touching
“What was it though?”
“I can’t say” I pouted at him
“Please?” He looked at my lips through his fringe
“Don’t kill me if I do tell you”
“I won’t kill you, I promise” He turned around and looked up at me, he bit his lip and just looked into my eyes. I looked back, his hazel orbs enhancing me.
“Hey Gerard, can I kiss you?” I stared at him, he either really said that, or I imagined it. “See, I told you that you wouldn’t like it” He frowned and shifted away slightly
“Frankie” He looked at me and I smiled, I grabbed his cheeks and rubbed my thumbs over his skin. He shut his eyes and smiled “Can I kiss you?” I opened his eyes and stared at me, he smiled at me, I leaned forward and softly pressed my lips against his. I felt him smile against me, he leaned forward to add more pressure. I leaned away slowly
“See, I didn’t hate that” He blushed and smiled “I loved it, your lips are soft” He blushed even more
“Thanks, so are yours” I scooted closer to him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and leaned my head on his shoulder “Gee what are you doing?”
“I want to cuddle you” He giggled and tightly wrapped his arms around waist. I want to stay like this, to have Frankie in my arms.
