I Promise I'll Look After You

A Proposal

{Gerard's POV}

Being in a relationship is definitely different to being single.

By a long shot.

I had always thought that there was never really anything amazing about being in a relationship.

It was just that you had someone to talk to and have intimate moments with.

That's why I had never really been that bothered about being single.

How wrong was I?

Really wrong.

Frank wasn't just someone to talk to and have intimate moments with.

Sure, we talked and shared some intimate moments, but that wasn't all.

The way I felt about Frank... I had never felt that way about anyone else before.

And this feeling was getting stronger every day.

Frank seemed to be the reason I got up in the morning.

He was the only person who could really make me smile.

Just his voice made me feel a hundred times better.

And seeing him play his guitar just... He was so amazing.

That was why I was in a good mood that Monday morning.

Music first.

Music with Frank.

In fact, I was in such an eager mood, I left my house a whole two minutes early.

I had been late a few days last week so that had meant I didn't get to see Frank in the morning before school started.

This was the reason I had made sure I left with time to spare.

I wanted to see him.

The walk to school was the same as usual.

Listening to music, head down, hands in pockets.

This was until I reached the alley.

I was about to pass it when I saw them.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

Lewis and his friends were standing right inside it.

They grinned and Lewis waved.

I had never seen them this early before.

Never before school.

What did this mean?

It didn't look like they wanted to have a chat or anything like that.

They just watched me as I passed them.

That was a little creepy, I have to say.

I was still thinking about it when I reached the school gates.

What were they planning?

Luckily, I saw Frank then which meant I more or less forgot about Lewis and his friends straight away.

Frank grinned when he saw me.

I walked up to him and he pulled me into a hug when I was next to him.

"Morning," He pulled away.

"Morning," I smiled.

He then leant back in and brushed his lips against mine.

After a moment or two, he pulled away again.

I blushed, vaguely aware that our friends were standing near us.
