"Hm?" Gerard raised an eyebrow at me.

"Your mom. I like her. She seems really nice."

Gerard chuckled, nodding a little. "Yeah, she'd pretty cool. Some of the stuff I do would kill her though."

"Like what we just did?"

"Yeah. That and the smoking."

I nodded. "Same with my mom. I love her to pieces, but there's only so much I can avoid."

"Mm." Gerard nodded, seeming distracted.

"You okay?" I asked, frowning a bit.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine." Gerard shook his head and gave me what I knew was a fake smile, no matter how convincing it looked.

"Gee..." I sighed, resting my head against his chest. "I know you aren't. What's on your mind?"

He looked down, biting his lip.

"Come on, spit it out." I took his hand gently, kissing his cheek. He glanced at me.

"Well... um..." He sighed again. "I dunno exactly. There's just... something about you. Something that's different. I can't put my finger on it."

I blushed, looking down at our hands shyly. "Well there certainly is something different. I'm a guy." I giggled softly. He rolled his eyes.

"No shit, Sherlock. You know what I mean."

"I know." I smiled. I closed my eyes, snuggling into him. Without thinking a few more words spilled from my mouth.

"I love you."
