I'm not okay

Fluff
Current/Decay era looks!
Ray is Y/N's roommate!
Tw: possible mental health topics!

"Hey Y/N" Ray said. "Do you finally wanna meet my friends?"
"Yeah" I sighed. "I think I'm ready"
"C'mon, you act like it's a boss battle or something"
"I just don't like people!"
He hugged me, ruffling my hair. "They'll be here soon"
"Soon as in 5 minutes?"
"Yep"
"Oh god"

I sat on the couch waiting while Ray was eating fries in the kitchen.
The door bell rang and he ran to open it.
"Hey guys!" He smiled, letting his friends inside.
I know them all by name but I have never talked to them.
They've been over often but I've usually been in my room.
I locked eyes with Frank, the shortest one in the group with tattoos all over his body.
He smiled at me and I looked away.

I felt a weight on next to me on the couch and looked up.
"Hey" Frank said. "You're Y/N right?"
"Yeah" I said.
"Nice to meet you"
I mumbled something and Frank chuckled.
"You're cute"
My eyes darted up, looking into his.
He was smiling at me.
"T-thanks"
"Hi Y/N" Gerard said sitting down in one of our armchairs.
I nodded at him.

I played with the sleeve of my hoodie as the others were talking.
Frank was resting his hand on a pillow and I stared at his tattoos.
I took his hand carefully and pushed his sleeve out of the way.
He glanced at me and smiled.
"They're cool, aren't they?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Y/N isn't usually this interested in strangers" Ray said to Mikey and Gerard.
"OooOo he likes you Frank" Mikey said.
Frank just giggled.
I pulled my hands away from his tattoos and looked down.
"It's alright Y/N, I don't mind" He said, placing his hand on my shoulder, making me flinch.
He took his hand away. "Sorry"

I could feel the fabric of my hoodie rubbing against the healing scars on my arms and stomach.
"Y/N you can go to your room, I'm not making you stay here with us" Ray said. "It's alright"
"Thanks" I mumbled, getting up and walking away.

I slumped onto my bed, burying my face in a pillow.
"Are you okay?" Frank asked.
"Yeah I'm fine" I snapped.
"Do you wanna look at my tattoos?"
"I already saw all of the ones on your arms"
"Oh I have so much more"
He took of his shirt and sat on the bed, his back turned to me.
I carefully traced the inked lines with my index finger.

"Pretty" I whispered.
"Thank you" Frank said, turning around. "Do you have any tats?"
"Not really, I have a shitty bat stick and poke on my arm but nothing else"
"Can you show it to me?"
I shook my head.
"Oh that's alright"
I took his hand again and smiled slightly.

"Why did you get so scared when I touched your shoulder?" Frank asked.
"I got out of a really toxic relationship a while back and I uhm, I have some problems"
His expression got sadder and he held my hand a little tighter. "You'll be okay"
I stared blankly at the big tattoo on his chest and placed my hand on it.
"You're so beautiful, like a work of art"
I could feel his heart skip a beat as I said it.
I looked up and our eyes met, making my face turn red.

"Sorry" I mumbled.
"It's alright" Frank said. "Can I come over tomorrow? I know Ray's not gonna be here but do you wanna hang out?"
"I uh- yeah, sure"
"FRANK WE HAVE TO GO NOW!!" Gerard yelled.
"COMING!!"
Frank put his shirt back on and got up.
I didn't let go of his hand but pulled him into a hug.
"I'll see you tomorrow" I whispered.
He smiled at me. "Yeah"
"Bye"
"Bye Y/N"
He left with the other 2 and I smiled to myself.

"Hey Y/N/N, did you get along with Frank?" Ray asked.
"Yeah! He's so cool! I like his tattoos! He's coming over tomorrow" I said excitedly.
"You seem very happy about him coming over"
"He's great!"
Ray chuckled and ruffled my hair again "I know"

The next day...

"Hey Y/N" Frank said, knocking on the door as he came in.
"Hi Frank!" I smiled.
"You seem a lot more happy today"
"Yeah! I was waiting for you! You're so cool!"
He chuckled as he sat down next to me.
"Thank you!"
"Mhm"
He took my hand and smiled at me.
"You're adorable"
I blushed and ducked my head down.

"What do you wanna do today?" Frank asked.
"I was thinking that we could take a walk in the forest" I said.
"Yeah of course, whatever you want"
"I know this pretty place down by the river and it's super pretty since the leaves are all orange and red"
"Take your jacket, it's getting pretty cold out"
"I'll be fine with my hoodie"
"Alright, let's go"

We went to the forest and I started dragging Frank around to show him my favorite places.
All of the time we walked around he stared at me with dreamy eyes as if I was the prettiest thing on the planet.

"Now this! This is the gem of the forest!" I said proudly, showing him the small ledge between 2 trees.
It was on the side of the river and hidden from most people.
I sat down with Frank and threw a pebble into the river.
"This is so pretty" he sighed. "Why didn't I know about this before?"
"It's kinda off the trail so people don't know about it"
He rested his head against my shoulder and smiled. "Can we come here again?"
"Of course"

It was getting dark out and the air began to get colder as the sun went down.
"You're shivering" Frank pointed out. "Do you need my jacket?"
"No, I'm fine"
He took off his jacket and put it around me. "I don't want you to get sick, okay?"
"Mhmm"
I flapped around with the long sleeves and smiled. "It's warm"

2 months later...

"Y/N where are you going? I thought Frank was supposed to come over!" Ray asked in confusion as I left the house.
I didn't say anything, instead I slammed the front door shut and ran into the forest, to my little ledge.

"That fucker is trying to come back into my life he pretending like he did nothing wrong" I mumbled.
My ex had contacted me again and asked if I was still single, where I was and why I moved away.
"Y/N?!" I heard Frank's voice echo through the forest.
"I'm here"
"Oh thank god, Ray told me that you just ran away with no explanation. Is something wrong?"
"My ex wants to come back and last time I saw him he-"
Frank hugged me tightly. "I won't let him near you, I'll protect you"
"Thank you"
He helped me up and this time I hugged him.
"I actually have something for you" he said quietly.
"What is it?" I asked.

Frank took off his scarf and put it gently around my neck before pulling me into a kiss.
"I love you"
"I love you too Frank"
He took my hand and we started walking back.
