I'll Be Your Gerard If You'll Be My Frank

He's Home

{Frank's POV}

I checked the time for about the twentieth time that morning.

He would be here soon.

I was nervous and excited at the same time.

So yeah as you can imagine, I couldn't really sit still.

I kept changing the way I sat.

On my legs.

On my bum.

Cross legged.

"Frank!" Mikey stopped me as I was shifting yet again.

I looked at him.

"Calm down," He laughed nervously.

I nodded and tried to stay still.

Ray smiled at me.

I half smiled back before biting my lip again.

"Why are you so nervous, Frank?"

I looked at Mikey again.

"Uh..."

What could I say?

You know...

I'm nervous because my boyfriend is finally coming home after spending a month in a psychiatric hospital.

I'm nervous because we haven't really spent that much time together since the day we had gotten together.

I'm nervous because I've left him about a million voicemails that he may find endearing or creepy.

I'm nervous because I'm planning to tell him I love him today and I have no fucking idea how he'll react.

So yeah...

Not much to be nervous about.

"I don't know," I eventually answered.

Mikey had a sympathetic look in his eyes.

"It'll all be fine," He tried to reassure me.

I just nodded.

"We're all nervous," Ray spoke up, "Listen, all you have to remember is-"

But he never finished.

I never actually found out what he was going to say.

The slam of the front door shutting cut him off.

All three of us looked up.

I stood up involuntarily.

We stared at the living room door.

Mrs Way appeared, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"He's here and he's fine," She walked into the room a bit more to reveal the figure behind her.

Gerard stood in the doorway awkwardly.

He had his hands buried in his jeans pockets and he was hiding a little behind his hair.

"Hey..." He looked up.

My eyes locked with his.

Shit.

"Hey, Gee," Mikey stood up next to me, "How're you feeling?"

Gerard reluctantly looked away from me to his little brother.

He smiled a bit.

"I'm... I'm doing okay, I guess."

Mikey nodded before striding up to him and pulling him into a hug.
