So Long and Good Night

Truth or Dare

FRANK'S P.O.V

We all sat on the floor around the low-sitting coffee table in the middle of the living room. While Lilly, Rion and I were already tipsy enough to pass for drunk, Gerard was on his 3 cup of coffee from the night. I asked his repeatedly if he was okay with us drinking, but he just smiled and laughed along with us?

"Truth or Dare?" I asked, pointing my not so focused attention to Gee who was sitting right beside me.

"Do you realize who you're asking? Dare dumb ass." he chuckled, his playful dimple popping out to join the fun.

"I dare you too....Kiss Rion. On. The. Lips." I smirked, leaning back against the couch.

"Whoa whoa whoa. You may be drunk, but I'm perfectly sober." He started stammering nervously. I glanced over to just catch the blush leaving Rion's face as she started puckering up her lips.

"C'mon babe. Unless you wanna call a chicken." I teased.

"Fuck. Fine. Lilly, move over, a gay man is about to steal your queer girlfriend." he finally smirked. Gerard scooted his way between the two girls and he even wrapped his legs around her waist. He placed his large hand on the back of her head gently, then smashed their lips together. Gerard held his other hand up, flying me the middle finger as he pushed away from Rion's now laughing body. With a look of "fuck you baby" written all across his features, Gee made his way back over next to me before planting a kiss with the same force to my lips.

When he pulled away I could taste the hint of strawberry lip gloss.

The smirk still hadn't left his face as he pulled away and turned his attention back to the game.

"Alright let's go with Lilly. Truth or Dare?"

"Uhm, Truth I guess."

"Wow, even with alcohol you are sooooo adventurous." Gee teased, racking his mind for a question.

"How did you like your fist public kiss with Lady Rion?" I couldn't help but smile lightly as her face went red in a blush. She nervously looked down at her lap though a smile was pulling at the corners of her lips.

"It was...absolutely amazing, everything I had dreamed it would be and more." As the words came tumbling from her mouth, the blush traveled over to Rion's face. Lilly just giggled and turned her girlfriend so she was looking at her, and leaned in slowly for a slow, sweet kiss.

The drinks kept flowing until there was simply none left. Which is when Lilly and Rion decided that they should get going. Gerard offered several times to walk them home, but they refused and just stumbled their way out the door.

"Tonight was great." Gerard finally whispered, laying back on the floor, his hands under his head.

"It was. And I think you can scratch yet another thing off of that bucket list of yours." I replied, laying down next to him, my head resting on his chest. I kept my ear pushed into his skin as I listened to his steady heart beat. I sighed lightly when hi moved one hand from under his head and rested it on mine, pushing his fingers through my hair.

As the both of us just lay there I started thinking. We were supposed to be leaving for Vegas in four days. How was I going to pack. How would I get Gerard to go to the airport without giving it away. That's when I though about my "little sister" again.

I could tell him that our mom really wants me to go down for her graduation. I could possibly convince Gerard of the story and get him to the airport and on the plane. Now, hopefully it worked because if it doesn't, half of my plan is ruined.

I am drawn from my thoughts be Gerard lightly snoring, his mouth hanging open. I couldn't help but smile at how fucking adorable he was. I gently shook his arm, startling him awake.

"C'mon let's get you to bed." I smiled, pulling myself up off the floor and helping him up as well. I held onto his hand and led the way back to the bedroom.

As I was pulling my shirt off, he was stepping out of his jeans, falling flat on his stomach to the bed. Gerard wiggled his way up to the top where he peeled back the covers and managed to get himself under them. I quickly joined him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders as he snuggled into me.

Before I feel asleep that night my mind wondered to the thought of cancer and that Gerard was creeping to the end of his first month, ticking his total down to 6. I fought back the tears that instantly sprang up in my eyes. He was going to die. He was going to fucking die and there wasn't a thing I could do. Goddamn it I felt so helpless. I wanted to give him the world but the world was ripping itself away from him and the though of that just killed me.

I pushed the pain of that though out of my head before letting it wander once more to the thought of a child. God I wanted to be a dad. And I don't even know why I wanted it so much, I just did. I don't know if it was the fact of wanting to be able to have an actual person mine or if it's what I told Mikey while we were in the hospital. I didn't know and I didn't care.

I finally fell asleep that night just thinking about starting a family with Gerard, and luckily the alcohol was making me forget about what was standing in our way.
