Frank yawned and mumbled softly in his sleep, squeezing his eyes tight shut for a moment before slowly allowing them to open. He sighed and smiled dreamily, encased in Gerard’s arms so closely that all he could see was the vampires pale collarbone and pectoral muscle he was laying against. Frank felt himself grow warm and tingly and he pressed a tender kiss to the milky skin his cheek was nuzzled against.

The two men had fallen asleep with Gerard still inside Frank, though he had slipped out sometime in the night. Frank could feel that cum had dried down the backs of his thighs as well as on both of their stomachs, and though half of him wanted to shudder and grab a shower as soon as, a much bigger part of him was secretly dancing for joy. Now he had slept he could hardly believe that they had actually had such beautiful, passionate sex... they always had good sex but not like that. It made Frank so indescribably happy and he felt like finally everything was going right at last.

Beside him Gerard was still sleeping soundly, his soft lips pouted slightly so that Frank just had to press a tender kiss to them. The vampire’s hair was tasselled and a little knotted but he looked almost sexy because of it. Frank could feel his heart racing the more he looked at him.

He loves me... he actually loves me.

Frank couldn’t care less that Gerard hadn’t actually said those important three little words, he knew it was the truth even if Gerard didn’t want to admit it yet. He wasn’t sure what made Gerard so reluctant to admit it but Frank was prepared to wait forever if that’s how long it took. He knew the truth in his heart at any rate.

“Mm... Frankie... Will you stop staring at me?” Gerard’s voice was husky from sleepiness, and his eyes were still closed. Frank shivered in pleasure at the seductive way he just purred at him and he smirked, snuggling even closer to his lover and slipping a leg over his waist to close all the gaps between them.

“I can’t help it... you look so gorgeous when you sleep.” He mewled and Gerard chuckled quietly, blindly lifting a hand to stroke through Frank’s hair, his nails scraping gently across his scalp before resting on the back of his neck where he stroked his thumb lightly back and forth.

“Mmm... don’t I always?” He purred back, smiling when Frank’s warm lips touched against his own and they shared a feather light kiss.

“Of course you do.” Frank purred, touching their foreheads together and just spending a moment savouring the feeling of being so wrapped around him, Gerard slowly waking up more until his eyes opened and he smiled warmly at the shorter man.

If his heart wasn’t dead Gerard knew it would be expanding with joy at that moment, but instead there was just a hollow pain in his chest. Like a fish hook tugging at the dead organ. It hurt but at the same time it felt good... an alien sensation that made him want to clutch at his chest, but he knew that with time he would get used to it and the pain would disappear into a more conventional feeling usually associated with love. He didn’t want to say it out loud just yet, still frightened by how vulnerable it would make him, but deep down he knew that he truly had fallen for Frankie. And fallen hard.

“So... You promised Bob you’d go visit him today right?” He asked softly after a long while of just gazing warmly at his boyfriend, Frank’s heart skipping loudly in his chest, making Gerard even happier. He loved how he still had the same effect on Frank, loved how obvious it was that the man adored him.

Frank bit his lip and nodded slowly, his fingers playing through Gerard’s hair as he judged his reaction. “Yeah I did... it’s not too late is it?” He mewled, turning to look at the clock. It was only early afternoon he realised and he sighed with relief. He felt like it should be late evening but of course Gerard had returned early that morning and they had only slept for a few hours. He turned back to the taller man and gently rubbed his hand up and down his bicep. “But you don’t have to come if you –”

“No no, I do.” Gerard quickly interrupted him, smiling softly. “I mean... you promised him so we should go. I don’t mind.” He elaborated. He knew he had acted a little badly the previous day, but now he accepted it had been jealousy he didn’t mind going to see the blonde boy. Now Frank knew Bob was okay he was sure they weren’t going to share another tender moment like before, and even if they did Gerard was over his paranoia now. He knew that Frank loved him more than anyone or anything else, Bob was no threat to him, and he didn’t want to upset Frank like he had yesterday by refusing to let him go.

“First though, I think we shower.” He smirked, Frank blushing deeply and giggling as he nodded. He was surprised but thrilled that Gerard was so agreeable to going to see Bob. He wasn’t sure what had got to the vampire the day before but he supposed Gerard really had meant it when he said he had worked whatever it was out. Frank didn’t know or care where Gerard had gone the previous night, he was only glad to have him back and apparently happier.

“I agree.” He giggled softly, groaning when Gerard untangled himself from the shorter man before lifting him bridal style into his arms. Frank mewled and nuzzled his face into Gerard’s neck, smiling softly as he was carried to the ensuite bathroom in Gerard’s strong arms.

Gerard smiled as he flicked on the shower and sat Frank down on the counter. Since neither of them had any clothes to remove Gerard just took a moment to gaze over Frank’s tattooed body, tracing some of the designs with his fingertips and smirking when Frank’s nipples turned into hard nubs as he ghosted past them. He looked at Frank’s blushing face and chuckled, capturing his lips in a gentle kiss and waiting until the bathroom was full of steam before he lifted the tanned boy up and stepped into the shower with him.

Frank sighed and smiled, wrapping his arms around Gerard’s neck as they stood under the hot spray together, sharing soft, sleepy kisses. Gerard tangled his fingers through Frank’s wet hair and gently eased out all the knots before he grabbed one of the many shampoo bottles Frank had bought for him, squeezing the gel into his hands and moving them back to Frank’s hair. The shorter boy gave a pleased sigh when Gerard worked the shampoo through the tresses, lathering it up until the sweet scent of cherries hit them both.

“Mmm... That’s nice Gee...” Frank purred, sliding his hands down the vampire’s body to rest on his slender hips, his fingers curling around them and drawing him closer. “Kiss me again?” He sighed, Gerard smiling and complying without a word.

When their lips touched it was like the whole world sped up, racing past them and spinning around them without them able to pay any attention to it. Frank always felt a little disorientated whenever he pulled away from Gerard’s lips, as if he expected them both to have aged a hundred years in only seconds. His head would spin so delightfully he couldn’t see any reason why he would pull away from the kiss without a couple centuries passing first.

Gerard of course was not as deeply affected as Frank, for Gerard the world didn’t speed up but instead it stopped. Time seemed to drag and everything went in slow motion whilst only he and Frank kept at a normal speed. Their lips would graze and suckle so perfectly, the world should be obligated to slow down so that they could truly savour every second. Though of course Gerard knew that in reality the only reason either of them felt that way was because they so deeply intoxicated each other.

“Frankie, my pet... would you like me to make you feel good?” Gerard purred seductively against Frank’s lips, washing the last of the shampoo out of his hair and sliding a hand down his tanned body. Frank bit his lip ring and nodded out of instinct, but a little voice in the back of his mind ordered him to change tactic. The sex that morning had made him feel different. Not amazingly so but just a little more... something. He couldn’t quite work it out. But what he did know was that for once he didn’t want Gerard doing all the work.

“Mm... actually, no. I don’t.” He purred back, Gerard tensing and breaking from his lips with a quirked eyebrow.

“You don’t?” He repeated, confusion written over his face and Frank smirked softly, gently stroking his thumb across the vampire’s cheek.

“I don’t.” He giggled, leaning up to gently peck Gerard’s lips again before trailing tiny butterfly kisses along his jaw and to his neck. “I want to make you feel good instead.” He purred so delicately into Gerard’s ear that he couldn’t stop the little shiver that wormed down his spine.

“Oh? You always do Frankie...” He whispered uncertainly, the change in routine taking him off guard though it excited him a little. Frank had never tried to take control before and though Gerard knew the boy could never be dominant enough to top him say, he was sure Frankie could muster up a little something.

“No, I mean... really make you feel good.” Frank tried to clarify, though he was far too shy to be as blunt as Gerard and start with sex talk. The vampire knew this of course and so he simply relaxed under the spray of the shower and smiled softly.

“Well... What did you have in mind then Frankie?” He asked huskily, Frank smiling against his neck and sliding his hand up the inside of Gerard’s thigh, scratching the milky skin gently with his nails and delighting in the tiny gasp it caused. He knew Gerard was on his best behaviour, trying to respond enthusiastically so that Frank didn’t lose confidence and he appreciated it, needing the encouragement to step out of his comfort zone just a little.

Frank purred softly and flicked his tongue over the shell of Gerard’s ear, nibbling gently on it and dragging his teeth down beneath the lobe to bite at the sensitive skin hiding there. Gerard smiled to himself and leant against the slippery tiled wall, relaxing as he let Frank have his fun. He had to admit, he was really enjoying himself too. It made a pleasant change to be able to just relax and enjoy it for once, not that he had any problems with doing all the work himself of course. Gerard supposed Frank was just one of those people he would do anything with; no matter how much power it gave him.

“Mm...” He growled deep in his throat, the noise barely audible but he knew Frank heard it and the shorter man smiled happily, thrilled that he was doing well. He kept his hand on Gerard’s inner thigh, drawing little circles with his fingertips as he sucked and kissed his way down Gerard’s neck. He was delicate at first; as if Gerard’s ivory skin was the soft white petal of a lily, but as he grew more heated he began to treat the skin like marble, something he could bite and chip his teeth against, his hand working its way up to Gerard’s balls and cupping them in his palm.

Gerard gasped, truly taken by surprise that time and his stomach gave an odd little flip of delight. Frank was sucking hard at his neck now and Gerard thought fleetingly how amusing it was going to be when Frank realised he couldn’t leave a mark. Any blood in Gerard’s veins simply wouldnt be able to rise to the surface of his skin and stay there as a love bite unless his heart beat returned, and whilst it may do so for certain activities, Frank wouldn’t be able to smugly parade Gerard around sporting his hickey. Not unless Gerard had a continuous boner... though at the rate Frank was gently squeezing and caressing his balls it looked like that wasn’t going to be an impossibility.

Gerard sighed and tipped his head back to rest against the wall, biting his lip as Frank moved his kisses down and his hand up, his fingertips barely touching Gerard’s length as he ghosted them along the underside of his growing erection. Gerard exhaled shakily and smiled almost drunkenly, his fingers finding their way back to Frank’s hair and tangling gently through it.

“Mm...” Frank looked up at the older man through his long eyelashes, sucking and licking down to one of Gerard’s collarbones which he bit down on with some force. Gerard’s cock twitched in response and rose a little higher, his heart beat sluggishly coming to life and forcing the blood through his body and down to his erection.

Frank slid his free hand across Gerard’s chest to lie over the place where he could feel his heart beat, slow but strong. He slid the fingers of his other hand around the base of his erection and squeezed lightly, Gerard’s heart beat picking up a little until it was going at a normal human pace.

Frank looked back up at the vampires face, biting his lip at how gorgeous he looked. Gerard’s eyes were closed and his head tipped back, he looked calm and relaxed, his lips pouted just a little. His fingers in Frank’s hair were scratching and massaging gently over his scalp, making Frank’s eyelids flutter as he pressed closer to him and caught his lips in another passionate kiss.

Gerard smiled against Frank’s soft, warm lip and kissed him back with equal hunger. He pried Frank’s lips apart with ease and pushed his tongue into his mouth, taking control of the kiss though he still allowed Frank to control the rest of their activities. By now Frank had slid his leg between Gerard’s thighs, angling his own body so that his semi laid against the side of one of them. Gerard eagerly pushed his hips forward, dragging his throbbing erection against Frank’s leg and hip, moaning roughly into his mouth at the friction. Frank gasped softly in response and his semi filled with blood, growing to its full length as he began rubbing up against Gerard in return.

Gerard tangled his hand deeper into Frank’s hair and gripped tightly, his other hand resting against Frank’s hip as the two men kissed each other hungrily, their tongues dancing and clashing. Franks hands were pressed tight to Gerard’s chest, pinning him to the wall as their hips moved back and forth as one, rubbing their pulsing lengths over any part of the others body they could reach and swallowing each other’s moans.

Gerard smirked softly and sucked at Frank’s tongue lightly for a second before forcing it back so he could explore his mouth, Frank shuddering and feeling himself grow lightheaded and weak from the onslaught of sensations. He rubbed against the vampire once more, but the feeling of Gerard’s cock twitching against his hipbone caused his knees to buckle and send him to the shower floor.

Gerard gasped when Frank’s mouth suddenly disappeared and he hit his head against the wall when he threw it back, panting softly.

Frank had no time to be disorientated, his knees no sooner hitting the bottom of the shower floor than his cheek was nuzzling against Gerard’s inner thigh, kissing and nipping blindly as he closed his eyes against the spray of the shower. Gerard’s fingers had lodged themselves back into his hair after letting go to let him fall, and he gripped and tugged gently as Frank pressed open mouthed kisses up to the erection he had never yet tasted. Why the hell it had taken him this long he didn’t quite know and he damned his shy nature for holding him back.

But his shy nature was all out the window now. Frank knew what he wanted and he wasn’t going to rest until he got it.

Gerard was in a haze of bliss as he leant against the wall, his body thrumming with energy as he eagerly waited for what he knew was to come. Somehow he managed to gather his thoughts together just enough to force his eyes to open so that he could look down and watch Frank. The human looked down right delicious as he nuzzled against his inner thighs and licked playfully at his balls, causing his legs to quiver for a second and for a blinding moment of disbelief he almost thought he was going to fall too, but then he scraped up just enough composure to remain on his feet.

“Oh Frankie... you’re quite the little devil aren’t you?” He breathed huskily, not sure whether to laugh or moan as Frank grinned up at him and flicked his tongue over his lip ring. His face and body was covered in water droplets from the shower, running like teardrops out of his hair and down his jaw line. His lips were red from all the kissing and wet from the water, if he didn’t act soon Gerard knew he’d go mad.

Frank could tell that Gerard was getting restless, eager for him to continue and Frank was just as eager as he was. He moved one hand to rest against Gerard’s thigh, gently caressing his wet skin as his other hand wrapped around the base of his erection. He slowly swiped his thumb over the underside, feeling the bump of the vein that was pulsing slowly, the skin delicately soft surrounding the hardness within. He moved his fingertips up to slowly draw the foreskin down, leaning forward and touching the very tip of his tongue to the very base of the head.

Gerard let out a low hiss and gripped tighter to Frank’s hair, watching through half lidded eyes as the shorter man worked his tongue in a slow circle around the crown, circling up and up and up before dipping into the tiny slit on the head, Gerard groaning deep in his throat as Frank stole a bead of pre cum and opened his mouth wide, sliding down over the head, sucking Gerard in and not stopping until he had swallowed all he could.

Gerard’s eyes squeezed shut against his control, his hips arching forward of their own accord as his whole body sung with pleasure. He tugged at Frank’s wet hair and gasped loudly, trying to stop the noises he so desperately wanted to make but it was no use and he gave a raspy moan as Frank began suckling around him.

Frank looked up at the vampire as he bobbed over his length, swirling his tongue around it and suckling with his cheeks to cause the most friction. Despite Gerard’s lack of scent he did have a faint taste which Frank had not been expecting, but it wasn’t a normal taste associated with this sort of thing... Well, Frank was pretty sure none of his other boyfriends had tasted... floral. It was a delicate sweetness over his tongue, just teasing his taste buds into life and Frank could only compare it to rose petals. His grandmother had used to make rose cake when he was a child and it was the only likeness Frank could think of. Either way, it was divine, and he worked all the more passionately for it.

Gerard panted softly and gave tiny moans as Frank rubbed his tongue over him, his hand around the base moving to cup his balls once again so that he could relax his throat and take more of him down. Frank had never been able to deep throat, but it only left a couple inches out of his mouth and Gerard didn’t seem to mind anyway. He smiled around the engorged flesh between his lips, tugging and massaging the vampire’s balls as he gazed up at him.

Gerard had not expected Frank to be as good at this as he was, but he couldn’t deny that it was almost as if he had been sent down by some wonderful God to suck cock. His lip ring was a line of coolness contrasted by his warm lips and it took all of Gerard’s will power not to thrust into his mouth.

Frank moaned quietly deep in his throat as he worked his head over Gerard, his hand on the taller mans thigh coming down to wrap around his own length which was beginning to ache from the beautiful noises the vampire was making. Frank couldn’t help but rub desperately at his erection, his pleasure only heightened by the knowledge that he was making Gerard feel good and he sucked harder around him, his tongue lapping sinfully against the sensitive spot beneath the underside of the head, Gerard’s fingers tightening in his hair.

Frank knew Gerard was close by the way he stopped moaning, his lips still parted in an ‘o’ of desire but his throat unable to force up the sounds he was trying to make. His erection had begun to throb so violently that Frank could easily feel it against his tongue, the pulsing making it twitch so that the head bumped against the roof of his mouth every few seconds. Frank screwed his eyes shut and squeezed at his own erection, his heart racing in eager anticipation. He counted four strong pulses before Gerard suddenly gasped, shuddered and tugged hard at his hair, exploding into his mouth with a quiet cry of pleasure.

Gerard felt as if his mind exploded a long with his orgasm, his fingers gripping desperately to Frank’s hair as he bucked his hips forward and came hard down his throat. Frank swallowed down jet after jet of his icy cum without struggle, moaning softly even as he did so. Gerard shuddered and shivered his way through his climax, Frank squeezing at his balls and sucking at the head of his erection to milk every last drop he could. By the time he was satisfied he had got all there was to give Gerard felt utterly exhausted, his body slumping against the wet tiles as Frank leisurely licked down his softening length.

“Mmm... I do good?” He purred softly, giggling as he looked up at Gerard and practically sipped at the head of his cock until it was completely softened and he struggled to his feet.

Gerard felt dazed and tingly all over, but he managed to gather enough of his senses to help Frank up and promptly joined his hand around his still throbbing erection. His hand still in Frank’s hair tugged him closer and he smothered his lips in a searing kiss, his tongue delving into his mouth to gather his own taste from him. Frank moaned softly and wrapped his arms around Gerard’s neck, mewling for him to bring him to completion, and Gerard was more than happy to comply.

“You... did... amazing.” He purred huskily into Frank’s mouth, his hand beginning to pump rapidly at Frank’s cock, squeezing gently with each stroke up beneath the pouring water. Frank shuddered and pressed tighter to the vampire, using him as support to keep on his feet as he spread his legs wide and moved his face to rest in his neck.

“Mm... mmm... Oh Gerard... Fuck...” He breathed, latching his teeth onto Gerard’s ear and nibbling delicately as he bucked his hips forward and fucked into Gerard’s pumping fist. It didn’t take long before his cock was pulsing and his stomach was giving it’s familiar warm tightening, the pressure building like a coiled spring as Frank gasped and groaned into Gerard’s neck. He bit down hard on the milky flesh when Gerard gave an amazing twist of the palm with each stroke up and down his aching member and the spring released, shooting upwards like a million butterflies through his chest and the cum shut from his tip like a bullet. Gerard grinned softly and tugged Frank ever closer, crushing his hand between their bodies so he could only twist it to milk Frank’s orgasm, the human’s cum warm as it landed over Gerard’s flat stomach.

Frank felt incredibly dizzy once he was completely spent and he collapsed against the vampire, Gerard slinging an arm tight around his waist to keep him secure to his side as he used his other hand to wipe the cum from his belly and lap it off his fingers. Frank watched him through half lidded eyes and huffed softly, his head dropping onto his shoulder with a small groan. He wasn’t sure he could handle anymore hotness before it actually killed him.

“Gee... You are too amazing.” He whined and Gerard chuckled, moving to stand directly under the shower once more and pecked Frank’s lips gently.

“So are you my darling.” He drawled, Frank nodding and just laying silently against his shoulder. Gerard smiled fondly as he poured some soap into his hands and delicately washed them both off. He loved how Frank got so exhausted after they did stuff like this, it let him know the human really gave it everything he had and he found it indescribably sweet. He knew now – as if it had ever needed confirming – that he meant so much more to Frank than Bob did.

>X<


Bob smiled warmly when he spotted Frank walking down towards his bed, his arms coming up for a hug before Frank was even close and he laughed, jogging the last few metres before he could throw his arms around the blonde and squeeze him tight.

“Frankie! You came!” Bob beamed, sinking his face into Frank’s neck and breathing in his sweet scent as the two just held each other for a moment. Frank laughed and nodded, hugging his friend close before slowly standing back as Gerard reached them and he beamed at the vampire who smiled softly back, their hands joining without either of them really thinking about it. Bob noted the move but didn’t comment on it, though he couldn’t help but stare up at Gerard.

The old man hadn’t spoke to him since that morning and Bob knew he shouldn’t dream of thinking on what he had said about Gerard. Vampires weren’t real, everyone knew that. But Bob still couldn’t stop himself from gazing at Gerard curiously, biting his lip. He had never liked the pale man, he had always sensed that there was something not quite right about him but Bob had assumed that was because he was serial killer or something – though of course he had never truly believed that either. He had put it down to the older man’s controlling and manipulating behaviour, but nothing any more sinister. As if they needed anything more sinister than that. But now Bob gazed at him he supposed he could sort of see why someone as crazy as Mr Brown could believe Gerard to be a vampire – he was pale and incredibly seductive after all. Bob had never been attracted to any guys but even he had to admit Gerard was good looking...

“So, how are you feeling today Bob?” Frank asked softly after Bob had looked at Gerard for too long of an amount of time for it to be comfortable. Frank looked at Bob questioningly as the blonde turned his attention back to him, his cheeks blazing.

“Oh erm, I’m feeling much better thanks.” He smiled softly, trying to pretend as if the awkward staring had never happened. “The doctors said that my vitals have stayed steady and everything so as long as I’m okay tomorrow I can go home.” He beamed, Frank grinning widely and throwing his arms around him again, hugging him tight for a second time.

“Really!? That’s awesome Bob! I’m so pleased for you.” He smiled, Bob laughing and rubbing Frank’s back softly.

“Thanks Frankie.” He chuckled, Frank pulling up a couple of chairs for he and Gerard to sit on whilst he chatted to Bob.

Bob really was feeling much better. He was still a little tired and weak, but he was sure it was nothing he couldn’t get through with plenty of sleep. He was thrilled that Frank had kept to his promise and come to visit him, though he hadn’t doubted him for a second of course. He didn’t even really mind that Gerard had come too, despite everything Mr Brown thought of him. He was just so happy to be feeling more like himself, and to have Frank spending time with him the second day in a row, that nothing could pop his little bubble of happiness.

>X<

Frank and Gerard stayed with Bob until early evening, Christine coming back a few hours before they left after having been home to shower and change and it was clear she too was feeling much happier. Frank felt so relieved to know that Bob was going to be okay, Christine fussing over him the whole time she was there, a smile gracing her pretty face. Frank was thrilled for both of them, hell, even Gerard looked happy. At least... Frank thought he did, but then he was a good actor.

Frank smiled and cuddled closer into the vampire’s side, their fingers laced as they strolled through the cool night air together, Gerard walking Frank home after having had dinner with him. Frank wanted desperately to go back to the manor again, that felt more like home than his own house did, but he didn’t dare ask Gerard to let him stay another night because he knew he would say yes. And Frank knew he really should get home and let his dad know how Bob was doing and everything.

Gerard sighed and laid a gentle kiss to Frank’s temple as they walked down his street, their paces slowing unconsciously as they tried to stay together for as long as possible. For the first time really Gerard didn’t want to let Frank go, his hand gripping a little tighter to the humans. He knew morning would come by in no time and then Frank would be back in his arms but he didn’t want to wait even a second. He understood it was important for Frank to keep in touch with his family and everything, but... he just wished he could lock him away in the manor and keep him all to himself forever.

“Will you come over tomorrow?” He asked softly as they got closer and closer to Frank’s house, Frank looking up at Gerard with a ‘duh’ face and smiling warmly, his eyes tinged with some sadness from having to leave him for the night. It was a look Gerard had seen on him plenty of times but it was the first time he mirrored it back.

“Of course I will, make some breakfast for me ‘kay?” He giggled and Gerard laughed, nodding and stopping at the end of his driveway. He turned to face the shorter man and wrapped his arms snugly around his waist, drawing him close and cupping his cheek with one hand.

“Will do. I’ll think about you all night.” He promised, Frank’s heart fluttering at his words and he mewled softly, tiptoeing up to meet Gerard in a soft kiss and he sighed. He felt about ready to melt all over the pavement, his heart thudding with love for the vampire. Things were so perfect at that moment, Frank was truly grateful for everything he had in his life. It was one of those moments where it all just seemed to hit him – Bob had survived and was making a fast, full recovery. Frank didn’t have to rest with his grave on his conscience and not only did he have the world’s most gorgeous, intoxicating boyfriend he was certain that he now loved him back. Nothing could get any better.

Well... Unless Gerard asked to marry him of course. But Frank supposed it was too early to hope for things like that.

“I’ll think about you all night too... I always do.” He whispered against Gerard’s sweet lips, leaning up and sharing another tender, passionate kiss before the two men embraced one another, holding on tight before Frank reluctantly let go and kissed his vampire’s cheek. “Love you...”

“Pleasant dreams Frankie.” Gerard smiled, kissing the human’s forehead before softly releasing him from his arms. Frank smiled dreamily and blew him a kiss goodbye, walking up the driveway and sending one last wistful look at his lover before he slipped through the door and Gerard sighed, smiling softly to himself and making his way slowly back home.

>X<

“Hey dad! I’m home!” Frank called, slinging off his jacket and shoes and padding through to the living room to find his father.

Frank Sr. was sat in his usual chair, surrounded by empty bottles of beer with another nestled in his hand. He looked up when Frank entered the room and scoffed, waving his hand drunkenly at his son and scowling.

“Weeell... lookie who finally decided to show up.” He sneered, leaning forward and struggling onto his feet, swaying dangerously for a moment before he managed to find his balance and he straightened up, pointing the neck of his bottle at Frank and almost spilling the liquid all over the floor.

Frank rose his eyebrows in confusion, his face emotionless as he stared at his drunken father. Coming home to find Frank Sr. drunk was nothing new and Frank knew the best he could do was just to humour his father and get him to bed as soon as possible.

“Sorry, I have been away a while haven’t I? There’s been a lot going on.” He sighed, shrugging apologetically and Frank Sr. sneered at him, shaking his head.

“A while? A while!? I don’t give a fuck if you’ve been missing for years! Where’s my fucking dinner boy? I want it now!” He shouted, the force almost making him fall over and Frank gritted his teeth, trying to keep his calm. Whenever his father got drunk he always picked fights over nothing in particular, often changing the reason throughout until Frank’s head would be spinning.

“You want some dinner? Okay, I’ll make you some.” He shrugged, sighing as he turned to walk to the kitchen but his father’s hand came down heavily on his shoulder, gripping tight to stop Frank from going any further. His lips were suddenly beside Frank’s ear, the scent of alcohol stinging Frank’s nostrils and he snarled as he realised his father had been drinking something much stronger than beer.

“What have you been drinking?” He asked with forced calm, Frank Sr. laughing hollowly.

“What’s it you son I’m the respnoniliable... repondable... responsalalable... I’m the responsible adult here.” He finally managed to slur and Frank laughed angrily, spinning to face his old man and clenching his fists.

“Oh sure you are- look at you! You’re fucking off your tits. You should go to bed.” He snapped, grabbing the bottle in his father’s hand and trying to tug it off him. “Come on, I’m taking you up to bed and you’re gonna sleep this shit off.” He ordered angrily, Frank Sr. growing into a rage of his own as he wrestled his son for the bottle.

“Hey! You can’t tell me what to do – let go you little shit!” He demanded, Frank ignoring him and the two fought for the bottle for a moment before Frank Sr. let go and instead sent his fist crashing into Frank’s jaw.

Frank gasped and stumbled backwards, his hands letting go of the bottle to press against his jaw out of instinct. He stared at his father in shock though he supposed he should have seen it coming, tears threatening to fall more out of hurt that his father could even hit him like this than actual pain. He remembered the day his father had last hit him, how he had ran off to the woods and met Gerard... At the moment he wanted to be back with Gerard more than anything.

“You stupid old man.” He spat, his voice wavering. “Give me the fucking bottle, and get to fucking bed.” He walked forward again, Frank Sr. raising the bottle as if trying to hold it out of Frank’s reach and he danced backwards as his son lunged for it repeatedly. Frank Sr. almost fell over several times but somehow managed to remain on his feet until he had backed into the wall, Frank lunging for the bottle a final time. His fingers grazed against the cool glass and Frank Sr. panicked. How dare Frank try to take it! If he wanted to drink he was damn well entitled to!

“Leave it alone I said!” He roared, bringing his hand with the bottle round to crash into Frank’s face, the younger man only able to raise his hands just before the glass hit and shattered against his knuckles. He cried out in shock and stumbled into the wall as he felt the shards pierce into the backs of his hand and cheek, the rest smashing onto the floor. Alcohol soaked into the wounds and burned as Frank shuddered and shakily lowered his hands, his eyes wide with fear as blood ran down his face and arms.

Frank Sr. stared at Frank in shock for a second, a small part of him aware of what he had done and aching to apologise, but the alcohol in his system warped his mind and he smirked slowly, the smirk turning into a cruel grin before he started laughing loudly.

“See? SEE!? That’s what you get you little bastard – THAT’S WHAT YOU GET!” He shouted, Frank sobbing angrily and resisting the urge to try and wipe the blood on his cheek away in case he pushed the glass deeper into his skin. He knew he was incredibly lucky not to have got any in his eyes and as he stared at his father’s laughing face he felt hatred just eating away at him like a poison.

“Fuck you... Fuck you!” He snarled, turning and storming out of the room as Frank Sr. fell down from the force of his drunken laughter, Frank unable to stop his tears as he strode through the hall and picked his jacket back up, stuffing his feet into his converse and slamming the door as loudly as he could on the way out.
