Give Him Hell, Kid (Frerard)

Chapter Thirty-One

Frank P.O.V

"I love you Frankie." He whispered in my ear, drawing circles in the palms of my hands. I smiled, nuzzling into his cheek. He knew exactly how long I had waited to hear that from him, I felt like he was a changed man. There was a sort of happiness in those soulless eyes which I had never seen before. The white-blonde hair made him look handsome, more suited to running Hell. He kissed my cheek, pulling me into his chest.

"I love you too." I said, those four little words had been waiting weeks to get out. I had somebody to love me, and he had somebody to love him too. He giggled, resting his chin on the top of my head.

After a short while of him gently rocking me side to side, a thought came to me. I frowned, as it proved difficult to muster. Gerard sensed that I had stopped smiling, and held me at arms length, eyes searching my face to find the reason why I was frowning.
"What's wrong?" He asked, cocking his head to the side. He looked more handsome than usual, that white hair really did suit him. To distract me from answering my mind flicked back through memories of him naked, towering over me, leaving me helpless.

"Uh- how are we meant to get to Hell?" I asked, finally bringing myself back to reality. He smiled, loosening his grip on me. He tapped my nose affectionately, letting go of me.

"We find the opening." He shrugged. The simplicity confused me. To prove his point he grabbed my wrist, jogging through the house with me being dragged behind him. I didn't find myself getting tired, which in a way would make life easier. I was falling in love with my new-found strength, almost as much as I was in love with Gerard. I couldn't help but notice the change in him. It was charming, kind, beautiful.
He came to a halt in front of an old, black mirror. He dropped my hand to approach it slowly, his ear pressed against the glass. He tapped on the wall next to it- hollow. He smiled, flashing his bright white teeth.

"Found it." He smiled, looking very pleased with himself. I couldn't help but join him- why had being in charge changed him so much? I couldn't understand it, I never would. I knew that he longed for control but it would never cease to confuse me. But I loved him nonetheless, and nothing would ever change that. "Are you ready?" He asked, standing close to me. He rested his chin on my head again, wrapping his arms around my body. I smiled into his chest, the warmth comforting me.

"What about my family?" I asked. I knew for sure that I wanted to leave with Gerard. I couldn't stand to be away from him, I needed him near me. But I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to my little sister. Even though I would be going to be land of the sinners, I would always look out for her, make sure that she was safe from any harm. She was little, and needed her big brother to protect her from everything around her.

"You want to say goodbye?" He asked, something in his voice told me that he felt disappointed. I couldn't tell, however I couldn't help feeling that that was how he felt. I nodded, feeling his chin dig further into my scalp.

"Okay then, we'll need to go now. I need to get home, Lilith may make an appearance and try to sabotage everything for me." He sighed, planting a kiss on my forehead. I thanked him as he walked me to the front door. My parents might've been wondering where I was, but I didn't care. All I cared about was her, my love, my little sister. She was everything to me, and not seeing her little face every day would never cease to upset me.

He pulled up outside my house, the sun was almost rising. I pecked his cheek, telling him that I would only be a few minutes. He nodded, switching the radio on. I closed the car door quietly to avoid waking anybody up.

I crept up the stairs, trying to avoid the steps that creaked. Successfully doing so, I walked along the hall, stopping at the pink door. My sister's door. I smiled, seeing her face would make me happy. Seeing her happy for the last time would give me a good sendoff. I would promise to visit her.
I pushed the door open gently, peering my head around it. She had her back to the room, her little face was facing the pink walls. I smiled, walking over to her bedside, kneeling down.
