He thinks it’s the way his heart flutters and maybe the way when he opens his mouth to speak it just isn’t possible. He thinks maybe it’s the way his eyes simply stop and stare, not able to focus on anything else or maybe, just maybe the way when his skin is touched he feels like he is burning, fucking pulsing with passion and lust and love.
It’s those little things that suggested to Gerard he was well and truly fallen in love with his colleague, Frank.
It had started a while back when Gerard had accepted the 9-5 job in a stuffy, boring office. Of course, he was desperate and needed the money if he actually wanted to eat every evening and if he wanted to keep painting. Who ever knew a blank canvas was so expensive? But upon accepting the job Gerard had become a little more accepting of the hot and sticky office and his cramped desk space when he received his first pay packet and when he ran into Frank in the tea room.
Of course, being the klutz that he always was Gerard, after spilling the milk and missing the bin with the tea bag ran into Frank on his way out of the door and had spilt the drink all over his white and very expensive shirt. It was pretty much what every awkward ‘first meeting gooey eyed’ movie scene should look like and when Gerard blushed and tried to wipe the tea stain from Frank’s shirt (which he was still wearing) Gerard was sure he wanted the ground the swallow him right there and then and for his job to simply be forgotten.
“Hey, don’t worry about it,” Frank had stated trying to grab the damp cloth from Gerard’s clumsy hands. “Honestly, I have a change of clothes in my locker.”
Gerard stopped his scrubbing movements and took a step back, looking up at Frank and once more blushing like a school girl who had just been smiled at by her crush across the yard.
“I‘m really, really sorry.” Gerard started to apologies. “I will buy you a new shirt, I mean, as soon as I get my pay ch-” Gerard muttered on, before resting his eyes on Frank’s name badge.
Frank Iero -Company manager
“That’s, that’s if I still have a pay...”
Frank laughed and placed a friendly hand on his new employee’s shoulder. “Welcome to the team Gerard.” and with that he had walked away smiling. Of course Gerard was left standing in the tea room with a dripping wet cloth making a mess on his shoes and the floor and his mouth slightly ajar.
Yes, he was pretty sure that was when the love affair started.
After the tea room incident Gerard was careful to keep his distance from making any kind of hot beverage or the office door which had Frank’s name on. Gerard was sure he was doing well a few weeks in, that was until he received a company email from the boss himself.
Gerard, I noticed that we hadn’t spoken since that accident in the tea room. My office in 5 please?
Gerard swallowed hard as his throat constricted. He had been doing so well up until then and why on earth would Frank the manager want to see him anyway? The dark haired man shook his head and shrugged before pushing his chair back and walking across the office to the door that had Frank’s name on in shiny letters.
Gerard knocked just because that was always polite when trying to catch the attention of your boss and when he heard and faint call he assumed that it was Frank asking him to enter. And of course Gerard just had to fuck such a simple thing as walking through a door at the right time up, and burst into the door right as Frank was taking what looked like a pretty important call.
“Fuck, I‘m sorry!” And once again Gerard didn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. Frank, who did look slightly pissed off, held his hand out in an attempt to quieten Gerard without breaking the conversation he was having on the phone and motioned for him to take a seat. Once off the phone Gerard lifted his head and shot Frank an apologetic look.
“I‘m, really, really sorry for bursting in like that, I-I did knock but I thought I heard you say something and of course you didn’t an-”
“Gerard it‘s fine, honestly. I asked you in here anyway and no harm was done on the phone.” Frank smiled and once again tried to make light of the awkward situation Gerard had managed to get himself into once again with his boss.
Gerard returned the almost friendly smile. “So you wanted to see me? Look if it is about your shirt that I ruined I really am going to buy you a new one when I get paid, just like, you know tell me sizing and what not so I don’t manage to fuck - I mean, mess that up as well.” Gerard rushed and stumbled over his words as Frank sat there looking fairly amused.
“Okay we really do need to talk. First, I told you I don’t mind about the shirt and you really don’t need to buy me a new one. Second, I may be your boss but I am only 27 myself so cursing, totally cool.” Frank grinned and cocked his head to the side studying Gerard’s face.
Gerard laughed airily at what Frank had just said, and the fact that okay, he seemed pretty alright. Not many bosses would sit and joke about cursing and their age right?
“Sorry, I kinda jump to conclusions myself.”
Frank laughed this time. “I had noticed. But, the real reason I asked you into here was just to say well done. You‘re doing a great job for the company and just wanted to let you know.” Gerard sighed at this whilst thanking the lord above that he wasn’t about to get fired or anything as he really did need that money for art supplies, and a new shirt for Frank whatever he may say on the matter.
“Thanks, Sir.”
“Oh, I‘m way too young for that. Call me Frank, please?”
Gerard swallowed and nodded before adding “Okay, Si- Frank.” and nodding once again. “I‘m gonna get back to my, er, desk now.” Gerard motioned to the door and lifted himself from the chair. Frank smiled and nodded.
“Oh and Gerard-”
Gerard stopped just as he was about to walk out of the door and turned to face Frank.
“Nice Chucks.” He grinned and Gerard looked down to his feet. Fuck, he thought. He had forgotten to change his shoes into more smarter and appropriate for work but hey, Frank liked them?
As Gerard shut the door to Frank’s office he paused and composed himself before quickly shuffling over to his desk to think about anything other than his totally hot boss. Frank on the other hand was left leaning back in his chair grinning at just how awkward and cute his new employee was.

It must have been only a few days after their little talk in Frank’s office that they ran into one another and once again, quite literally. This time Gerard was just about to walk from the photocopy room and Frank was walking in with a large pile of papers and of course it was just their luck that they would bump one another and Frank’s papers would fall to the ground.
“Fuck! I have got to stop doing this.” Gerard muttered as he realized what he had done and already bent down to start picking Frank’s papers up for him.
“Hey it‘s okay, don’t worry.” Frank offered and bent down to help Gerard pick the papers from the floor. Once they were all up and in a very untidy pile and nowhere in order Frank started to sort though them in some vain attempt to file them back to something that slightly resembled order. Hell, it had taken him about an hour to file and get ready to photocopy.
“Here let me help.” Gerard offered.
Frank screwed up his face. “No it‘s fine, really it wont take long.”
Gerard made a face just similar to Frank’s and added “I‘m meant to be on lunch now and by the looks of those, you will be here hours. So, pass me some.” Gerard ended with a smile and was eventually, handed some of the papers to put back into order.
It didn’t take the pair that long to finish filing and to photocopy each in order and when they were done sighed and smiled in relief.
“Thanks for helping me; I really wouldn’t have gotten out of here till tonight otherwise.”
“I know now come on, want to grab a coffee?” Gerard paused right after he had said that and thought about the many different ways Frank could interpret it but this time simply though fuck it and went with whatever Frank was about to say.
“I would kill for one!” The boss claimed as Gerard saw his hazel eyes light up and his mouth contort into a large grin. Coffee was obviously something they both shared a love for.
And so the pair ended up in the staff canteen sipping coffee and talking about things Gerard wouldn’t have expected a company boss to take interest in, such as music and comic books.
“Man I will have to show you my secret comics stash in my office, I make it look like I work but secretly I sit in my office all day reading old batman issues.” Frank grinned kind of lowering his voice so only Gerard could hear.
The elder couldn’t help but laugh at Frank’s honesty and liked how they were already talking like they were old friends. Hell, Gerard needed a friend at this point in his life; his younger brother Mikey had up and left a few months ago to move in with his long term boyfriend and sometimes Gerard’s apartment felt a little cold and empty. It was conversation such as this that Gerard missed when walking through his door in the evening or when looking at his cell and realizing that nobody had called just to see how he was.
“I really wouldn’t have guessed looking at you y‘know.”
Frank grinned “Wait till you see my ink!” He beamed whilst taking a large gulp from his coffee.
Gerard almost choked on his when Frank said that because Gerard obviously had taken it the wrong way but that didn’t stop Frank from grinning and handing Gerard a napkin to wipe his mouth after he had finishing choking.
“Thanks.” Gerard mumbled.
“No problem.” Frank genuinely smiled and he as well couldn’t remember the last time he had engaged in such a cool conversation. It had been a while and there was something about talking to Gerard that was pretty refreshing from the everyday bore of working as a company manager at such an age of 27. Sometimes Frank wanted to go out and have a bit of fun; go to a gig and get completely wasted without having to think about stupid time sheets and cheque he would have to write out the next day whilst nursing a motherfucker of a hangover.
Drinking down the rest of his coffee Frank sighed. “I‘m gonna have to get back to my office now, plenty more sheets to file where they came from.” Gerard shot him an apologetic look once again and Frank noted that it was certainly a face Gerard had perfected and that he really, really needed to stop saying sorry. Even if it was just with his eyes. “Thank you, for helping though.”
“No problem, anytime Frank.”
The pair exchanged a warm smile and Frank turned his back and wandered back to his office and for once, he had a smile on his face.

The next time the pair met again was in the coffee room. This time though Gerard managed to keep all of his drink in his mug and Frank had no masses of paper to drop. It seemed to work well and for once they exchanged a hello without one of them cursing or shooting an ‘I’m sorry’ look at the other.
“I was wondering, would you like to come to this comic fare with me this weekend? It‘s just I know you like the stuff too and nobody else really likes it, and well, I‘d like you to come?” Frank waffled barely breathing as he asked Gerard.
The taller of the two cocked his head to the side in order to make some kind of sense from what Frank had just breezed through but no, it was no use.
“Can you say that kind of slower this time?” Gerard grinned and sipped on his drink.
Frank sighed and tried again. “Comic fare, weekend, me and you, yes or no?”
Gerard grinned. “That‘s better. And I‘d love to but Frank, I‘m kind of your employee?” Frank scrunched up his face as to say ‘so what?’
“Well, aren‘t we meant to keep things like strictly professional?”
“Yes, but I‘m the boss and what I says goes!”
Gerard actually giggled at that part of the conversation and told Frank that yes, he would quite like to go to the comic fare with him.
Now, both knew that it wasn’t a date. Of course it wasn’t a date because Frank didn’t like Gerard like that, the elder thought, and Gerard wouldn’t ever be interested in his boss, Frank thought. Obviously they were each as bad as the other and would need some kind of miracle to actually ask one another out as something more than friends or colleagues.
That was where Mikey entered the equation though. It was just like Gerard to forget something so simple as his one and only sibling coming to stay and it just so happened to be the weekend he and Frank were off to the comic fare.
“Shit!” Gerard threw his hands up in the air as he opened his front door to see Mikey standing there with an overnight bag and a smile on his lips.
“Yeah it‘s nice to see you too bro.” Mikey scoffed and barged past his brother and into the apartment leaving Gerard stood at the door looking very confused.
“Mikes, you don’t understand!”
Mikey barely even lifted his eyes from Gerard’s widescreen television as his brother flailed his arms around and near enough tore his hair from his head.
“No I get it, you want to bone your new boss and I‘m in the way right?” Mikey said jokingly and when Gerard simply stood there not saying a word the younger groaned and shot his brother a glare.
“Gerard! You told me that wouldn’t happen again!”
“Oh Mikes hush, he‘s different!”
“And what makes you so sure of this one?”
“He wants to take me to a comic fare?”
Mikey pondered for a second, “Yeah, keep him.”
Gerard smiled and launched himself down onto his couch next to Mikey and threw an arm around his shoulders.
“He‘s really cute Mikes.” Gerard sighed as Mikey pulled a disgusted face and moved his brother’s arm from around him.
“I don’t really want to know.”
“But he is hot.”
“Sure. So where‘s he taking you on this hot date?”
Gerard paused before speaking, trying to think what to say as such. “It isn’t a date I mean, I don’t even know if he‘s gay. But apparently it‘s some comic fare in NYC.”
“Sounds cool, can I come?” Mikey grinned.
Gerard opened his mouth to protest but nothing really came out. He wanted to say no as Mikey would only embarrass him and say the most inappropriate things that little brothers are meant to say but at the same time, he knew that this weekend was meant to be brotherly bonding time or whatever they liked to call it.
“Sure, if you want to.” Mikey’s eyes nearly bulged from his head at his reply.
“Are you being serious?”
Gerard only nodded in case opening his mouth might have changed his mind.
“You‘re the best.” Mikey informed, “And I totally won’t embarrass you.”
Gerard scowled at him before wandering up to his room; it had been a long day.

It was now Friday morning and the comic fare was the next day, and to say Frank was nervous would have been the understatement of the year. He kept thinking that maybe Gerard was right about the whole work relationship. But then he though that if other colleagues could go out for drinks or whatever else they did then why couldn’t they go do something they both enjoyed? Either way, Frank was going to have to pluck up the courage to speak to Gerard to arrange details. Anyone would have thought he fancied the tight fucking pants off of his new employee.
It wasn’t until Gerard was about to leave that day, feeling pretty fed up as Frank hadn’t even tried to speak to him about the following day and so assumed he didn’t want to go that Frank skidded over to Gerard’s cubicle.
“Hey! Look, sorry I haven‘t been over sooner I had a bunch of paperwork and yeah, tomorrow?”
Gerard smiled but couldn’t help but remember that Frank had completed his paper work the following day. Pushing that thought aside Gerard listened to Frank’s arrangements and it was only after Frank had ran back into his office that he had remembered he had meant to ask Frank about Mikey joining them.
He figured he wouldn’t mind and so he planned to take Mikey along to their meeting point the following day.
That night both Frank and Gerard, both oblivious to the other found it pretty hard to sleep that night. Partly due to the excitement of actually being at a comic fare for the first time in years but mostly due to the fact that they both seriously wanted the other in their bed at the drop of a pin.
The next morning didn’t really go to plan for the Way’s but that was nothing new as both brothers were pretty clumsy or just highly disorganized.
“Mikey get the fuck out of my bathroom!” Gerard near on screamed through the bathroom door. Mikey had been hogging the bathroom for near an hour now and they were both going to be late if he didn’t hurry the fuck up and give Gerard a turn to get ready. Hell, it was him that was trying ever so maybe to impress Frank, what did Mikey need to look good for?
“I‘m nearly done!”
“Mikey get the fuck out of there now before I fucking castrate you!”
Pretty much a few seconds after Gerard had screamed that through the door Mikey was unlocking the door and scrambling to the guest bedroom. Gerard grinned and rushed into the room in some vain attempt to actually make himself presentable for Frank.
Once they had both thrown their clothes on and grabbed the necessary things for the day Gerard pushed Mikey out of his door and into his car with a stern look on his face whilst stressing about how they were going to be ‘fucking late for fuck sakes Mikey you fucker.’ Mikey nodded and went along with whatever his brother said in an attempt to calm him down a little before meeting with Frank.
They arrived at the store Frank had given directions to only 5 minutes late and spotted Frank waiting outside of the main entrance for him. On walking closer to Frank Mikey scoffed and leant into Gerard’s ear.
“He is sogay!”
Gerard shot him a death glare and continued walking, whilst maybe checking out what Mikey had meant and damn, he could have been right. Standing outside the shop clad in the tightest black skinnies and an even tighter Misfits shirt on was Frank. And fuck, his arms! Gerard gawped at the skin that was littered in every colour ink you could imagine, all kinds of different patterns and styles and wow, now more than ever did Gerard want his boss pined against his bed wearing nothing but that sexy ink.
When seeing them Frank waved but did look a little confused; most probably as to who Mikey was and why he was walking with Gerard towards him. Being the polite person he was though, Frank managed to greet them both no different.
“Hey! Glad you could make it.” Frank smiled warmly.
“Me too, and I‘m really sorry I forgot to ask but this is Mikey, my brother.”
Frank smiled even wider, with something that looked a little like relief on his face as he extended his arm to shake Mikey’s hand.
“I hope it‘s alright, I would have checked.”
“Hey no, it‘s fine! More the merrier, right?” And with that statement Frank nearly sounded convincing to Mikey.
When walking into the fare Mikey grabbed his brother’s arm and whispered in his ear “He totally wants you bro.” before grinning and wandering off down an isle on his own leaving Gerard pretty speechless but most importantly, on his own with Frank.
“So, thanks for coming.” Frank spoke trying to make some kind of conversation.
“No, thanks for inviting me. It looks pretty rad here.”
“Yeah, it really is. My Dad used to bring me here when I was younger, haven’t really been in years.”
“Why’s that?”
“Never really had anybody to go with.” Frank admitted and blushed slightly.
Gerard smiled at him and patted his shoulder “Well I‘m here, so lets go find some really cool stuff okay?”
Frank grinned and nodded before all but dragging Gerard down an isle that was labelled ‘Toys and figures.’
By the end of the day all 3 men were carrying at least one heavy bag each filled with comics or something to do with them. Gerard had been clawing at many of the comics but had to remind himself that he hadn’t been paid yet so buying something was not on the agenda. It was then that Frank had stepped in claiming that he had nobody to spend his money on and rarely treated himself. Gerard had protested but Frank had gone and grabbed everything he had seen Gerard gooey eye at that day and threw them in the basket.
“You‘re so stupid, I mean! In a nice way, you know?” Gerard tried to state what he had meant and Frank knew, but still giggled at Gerard.
“I know what you mean.”
“But what I‘m trying to say is, thank you. You didn’t have to get me all of that, I mean, really.” Once again Gerard stumbled over his words and Frank could have sworn his heart might have melted, just a little and the urge to grab Gerard and place a bruising kiss on his lips was slightly overwhelming.
“Anytime right. There aren’t many that would come with me from knowing me what, a few weeks? And put up with my dorky interests.” Frank offered and pulled a goofy face to back his statement up.
Gerard giggled and nodded. “Well, it‘s a good job I‘m just as dorky, right?”
Frank couldn’t remember the last time he had honestly smiled as much as he did then as he nodded and mentally thought to himself that yes, this Gerard Way was a keeper.
“Gee I‘m hungry.” Mikey complained whilst trying to rub his stomach to prove his point.
“And? What am I, your mother?” Gerard shot back smirking.
“Gee!” Mikey whined, “I‘m staying with you, you are meant to feed me!”
Gerard rolled his eyes as Frank started to laugh at the brother’s exchange.
“Want to go get something to eat Frank?”
“Sure!”
“Come on Mikeyface, we‘ll find you some kids meal that will fill your tummy right up!” Gerard mocked, totally playing the part of his mother.
Mikey scowled. “Never do that voice again.” And continued to walk a little faster ahead of the other two.
It wasn’t long before the three of them were in a small booth at a pizza restaurant that Mikey had chosen and were quite content in filling their faces with as much as they could eat. Once finished Gerard managed to get them both to split the bill three ways, before Frank could pay for them all.
“I had a great day,” Frank concluded whilst standing at his car.
“Yeah, me too.” Gerard smiled and just as he was about to say something else Mikey shouted over to him from their car.
“Gerard come on, I‘m freezing my ass off here!”
Gerard rolled his eyes trying not to get too embarrassed. “Sorry about him, he‘s just cranky cause he‘s away from his boyfriend you know?”
Frank laughed and nodded. “Yeah, I used to get like that, no worries.”
Whoa. Gerard had to double take that, did Frank just imply a boyfriend?
“It‘s over now though, so I‘m less cranky.” Frank grinned.
“Oh, cool.” Gerard stated in a daze like state before being snapped from it as he heard Mikey shouting again. “I have to go but thanks, for a really awesome day.” Gerard smiled and just as he was about to walk away Frank grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
“Thank you.” Frank mumbled before pulling Gerard into an awkward hug. Gerard could have sworn there was a nest of butterflies released into his gut at that point and mentally made a note to check he still had fucking balls when he actually sniffed to see just what Frank smelt like. Letting go, the pair smiled and as Gerard wandered back over to his car Frank couldn’t help but look at his ass and hips swaying like that and fuck, he knew something just had to be done.

The next few days proved to be difficult for both Frank and Gerard. Frank was the kind of boss that normally stayed in his office. Of course, he mixed and greeted his staff in the mornings but during the day his office was a safe haven. That was difficult for Frank now as he knew that Gerard was sitting on the other side of that office door sporting that ever so cute pout he had whilst typing with those hands, oh god those hands, Frank thought. They were lean and his fingers were long and urgh, Frank had to stop thinking about him.
Gerard wasn’t much better either and whenever he picked up a piece of company paper on his desk that had Frank’s signature at the bottom of the page he would space out into a fully blown daydream of Frank and how they would be so great together and by the end of the day, he realized he had done little to no work and fuck, Frank would have his head.
It took a lot of courage to do what Frank was about to do on day 5 since the comic fare but enough was enough right? He was sick to death of wandering past Gerard’s cubicle like a lost lamb and passing there with love sick eyes and most of the times, walking into random objects as he just couldn’t tear his eyes away. At any given opportunity he would try and speak to Gerard most of the time just to see his lips move and to hear his voice.
It was true alright, both men had it bad and the other was totally fucking oblivious. This, was where Frank’s plan came into play.
Checking his company email once again Gerard’s heart started to beat faster and butterflies grew in his stomach when he saw one from Frank. Moving his clammy hand over to the mouse to click on the email he shuffled forward in his chair and set his eyes to the screen to read.
Gerard, when you’ve got a minute could you come to my office please?
Frank x
After at least 10 times of reading the small sentence over and over again it was safe to say Gerard could recite the words without even looking. Every time he saw the little ‘x’ at the end of Frank’s name his stomach would flip and his heart would beat faster. Why would his boss put a kiss at the end of a company email? He was pretty sure he didn’t do that to anyone else in the office. Pushing his chair back and almost tripping over whilst running from his cubicle Gerard made the short trip across the office floor to Frank’s door and knocked.
“Come in!” Frank called as Gerard settled his hand on the handle and pushed the door open. Upon seeing who it was Frank shot up in his chair and settled his sandwich down onto his desk before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Sir, you wanted to see me?”
Frank scowled. “Gerard, It‘s Frank remember!”
“Oh, Oh yeah! Sorry, Frank.”
Frank smiled and motioned for Gerard to sit down.
“So, what did you want to see me for? If it‘s about the last few days and lack of work, I‘m really, really sorry and-” And that was enough for Frank, fuck the plan he thought and as he saw Frank stand from his desk and lean across the table and place his fucking lips on his he didn’t really have much time to think about any excuse and by the looks of things, Frank didn’t care.
And that was that, leant across the desk Frank jumped into the deep end and just went for it. He was sick of pussyfooting around Gerard and hell, if all went wrong he could transfer Gerard to another department right? But as soon as Frank felt Gerard kissing back he knew that wouldn’t be needed. Especially not when Gerard opened his mouth that little more and flicked his tongue out to swipe across Frank’s bottom lip. It didn’t take much longer for Gerard to move a hand to the back of Frank’s neck and to push his hand up into his dark brown hair that he had dreamt of pulling for weeks now and Frank’s hand was on the side of his face just holding him there and yes, they could both get used to this.
Pulling back as craning his neck across the desk was starting to hurt a little Frank settled one last kiss on Gerard’s lips and sat back, biting his lip and waiting for a reaction.
“Um, wow?”
Frank let out an airy laugh and relaxed a little.
“Yeah, you could say that.”
“I‘ve kinda, well wanted to do that,” and Gerard motioned towards Frank “all week, well, longer than that really but, yeah.” He concluded his voice a little quieter towards the end.
“Me too, sorry to drag you in here and well, launch myself at you.”
“You really, really don’t have to apologies for that.” Gerard smiled and moved his hand across the desk to squeeze Frank’s. “I really have to get back, do some work otherwise I‘m going to cost your business a small fortune.”
Frank laughed and nodded “I had noticed you hadn’t done much for a few days, but that’s fine, I think you might have been in the same frame of mind as me.”
Gerard looked confused. “And that would be?”
“That would be ‘I fancy the pants off of my colleague and I can’t concentrate’ mode.” Frank said with a laugh.
Gerard pretty much blushed but nodded none the less. He pushed his chair back and stood up, walking towards the door.
“Gerard?”
He turned around and saw Frank getting up from his desk and heading for him.
“Yeah?”
And then he was right there again, lips attached to Gerard’s but this time it was Frank’s tongue that had swiped across the other’s bottom lip and found its way into Gerard’s mouth as he was pushed back against the office door. Getting right into the embrace Gerard moved an arm down and grasped Frank’s hip with his hand whist the other moved up to the back of his neck again.
After a few moments the pair had to pull back for air and if they didn’t stop their selves, they would progress to many more things in the space of minutes. It was Frank that had come out of the kiss looking worse with his lips kiss swollen and his hair just about all over the place.
“I‘m, gonna, work!” Gerard tried to spit out, obviously just as flustered as Frank.
The shorter of the two giggled and leant up to peck Gerard’s lips once more before opening the door for him.
Just as Gerard was walking back to his cubicle Frank called his name once again and stopped him.
“Gerard?”
Gerard smiled and turned around to face Frank.
“Meet me outside in 10?” Frank asked slightly nervous, but had no reason to be when Gerard beamed and nodded.
Wandering back into his office and making sure his door was well and truly shut Frank pumped the air with his fist and did a crazy ‘Frank’ dance that involved wiggling his hips way to many times even for a gay man. And as for Gerard, he wasn’t much better as he wandered back to his cubicle in a daze like state and every time he tried to tidy his desk for the end of the day, things would randomly slip through his hands as he would bring his fingers up to his lips to trace where Frank’s had just been.
It didn’t take long for both men to shove their belongings in their bags, slightly tidy their desks for the next day and rush down into the front lobby of the building to meet the other. They smiled awkwardly at one another as they met eyes and wandering out into the street stopped and paused.
“So, want to go get something to eat?” Frank offered zipping his jacket up and pulling a cigarette out and lighting it, not before offering Gerard one, who gratefully accepted.
Taking a much needed drag on the stick in his mouth Gerard nodded before taking another puff and at that point Frank couldn’t remember anyone ever looking that sexy whilst smoking. “Sure that sounds good, anywhere in mind?”
“Yeah, come on its within walking distance.” Frank smiled and motioned for Gerard to follow him. It didn’t take that long for them to find the place Frank was on about and to get seated. Once they had chosen and were tucking into their starters Frank swallowed his last bite and took a breath before speaking.
“I‘m sorry if I shocked you today, or whatever.”
Gerard scrunched up his face. “Well, you shocked me but, but it was a nice shock, right?” He asked adding the question on the end, hoping he could indicate whether Frank really was interested or not.
“Yeah, I‘m glad I did it.” Frank smiled chewing on his fingernails.
“Me too.” Gerard confirmed and went back to eating what he had left.
The rest of their meal was pretty uneventful, apart from the awkward touches as they went to take a sip of their drinks or when both tried to pay for the other at the end of the meal.
“Let me pay, you paid for my comic stuff!” Gerard whined and Frank giggled liking the fact that Gerard felt comfortable enough around him to actually let his barrier down and joke around. He felt that was a great sign.
“No! I asked you here, so, nur!” Frank stuck his tongue out and giggled. Gerard only did the same but finally agreed to let his boss pay.
“I‘m paying next time.”
Frank raised his eyebrows and smirked. “So you want a next time?”
Gerard’s eyes went a little wider for a second or two before gaining his confidence again and smirking along. “You even had to ask?”
And with one last smile the pair left the money and walked from the restaurant and into the street. Lighting up again and handing Gerard one the pair walked back to the company car park in silent, just enjoying the others company. As they arrived back to Gerard’s car both stood there feeling slightly awkward and not really knowing how to end such a lovely evening.
“I like this,” Frank stated whilst motioning between the two of them.
Gerard fiddled with the keys that were in his hand and nodded, trying to speak but nothing really came out.
“You‘re cute, you know that?” Frank mused as Gerard once again tried to say something but didn’t succeed.
Gerard mocked a shocked face, “I am not cute, I am, very, manly!” He protested whilst jutting his bottom lip out slightly and that, was an invitation Frank just couldn’t resist. Leaning forward and pinning Gerard against his car Frank moved his lips to the taller man’s, sucking lightly on the prominent lip and swiping his tongue across it a few times. The kiss stayed rather soft, not really progressing into anything more than Frank’s tongue movements but Gerard liked that. He liked the feel of Frank and the weight of his body pressed against his and he liked how soft Frank’s lips were and god, he liked how Frank’s hand would slowly creep down to his hip to rub small circles across the material.
Pulling back Frank blushed lightly. “Sorry, got to learn to control myself.”
Gerard chuckled lightly. “No, you really don’t have to.”
“Good, cause I really don’t want to.” And with that Frank moved in again placing his lips on Gerard’s a repeating the same movements and this time, for much longer.

After that night the pair often met at lunch for something to eat or Frank would call Gerard to his office on some ‘very important’ grounds or whatever Frank liked to write in his personal emails. Gerard would often sit at his desk in his secluded cubicle trying to get work done and all Frank would be doing was emailing and distracting him with suggestions and mentions of previous dates. And really, Gerard didn’t mind but he was sure that Frank would start to whine on how he was doing no work, even though it was his doing in the first place.
It was now 2 months since Gerard had first joined the company and a little under those since the pair had shared their first kiss. Things were going well, and much like before Gerard had been called to Frank’s office to attend to a ‘very important problem.’ When Gerard did walk into Frank’s office he found his boss relaxed in his chair, feet on the desk and tie loose and fuck, did he look sexy.
Gerard gulped. “You er, you wanted to see, me?”
Frank nodded whist running a hand through his untamed hair. “Yeah, I did. You see, I have this, problem and it just wont go away.” Gerard looked confused but as Frank moved his hand that had been running through his hair to his thigh and began moving it back and forth, he was pretty sure he knew what his ‘problem’ was. “I need some help, you see.”
Gerard’s eyes went wide as he saw Frank move his hand directly over the now visible bulge in his slacks and as Frank motioned him over by curling his finger Gerard licked his lips and went running. It would have been rude not to right?
Sitting himself against the desk Gerard kept his hands in his lap, not wanting to be the one who initiated what Frank was wanting them to do.
“You see, I‘ve been stuck in here allday and knowing you were out there, just sitting there doing what I tell you to do made me want you even more.” Frank admitted as Gerard sat there looking slightly lost.
“I want you, Gerard.” Frank moved his lips so they were close to Gerard’s ear and whispered the words so that he could feel his hot breath on his neck. “I want you, right here, right now.” He concluded, breath hitching slightly as he finished.
And that was all Gerard really needed for him to practically jump into Frank’s lap and attach his needy lips to the others. It didn’t take long for Frank to start thrusting his hips up against Gerard’s and god, why had they waited nearly 2 months to even start something like this? Okay, they had made out a lot and got near to stages such as grinding but why hadn’t they done it? Alas, they were sure as hell going to make up for lost time and when Gerard moved his hand between the two to unbutton and zip both their trousers Frank was sure they would be doing this again because fuck, it was hot.
Pushing his own pants down a little with his boxers Gerard sighed when his cock came forth, sporting quite a hard on and for Frank, it wasn’t much different when Gerard hovered over him so he could wiggle from them. Getting back down to business Gerard ground his hips down into the man’s underneath him and both gasped as their tender, hot flesh met the other’s. It only really took some grinding, a few especially hard thrusts and some seriously hot lip action on Frank’s part for them to both come hard against the other, both panting and moans muffled by the other’s lips.
Slumping against Frank and nuzzling his neck into the smaller man’s Gerard gasped and tried to regain normal breathing. After a while and when he was able to speak he pressed a small kiss against the side of Frank’s neck before speaking.
“That, was hot.”
Frank nodded against Gerard’s head and moved his arms so that they were wrapped around Gerard’s back.
“Yeah, yeah.” he added not really able to string together much else.
It was only when Gerard climbed off of Frank to wipe himself down and to pull his pants up again that Frank started to talk again.
“Will you be my boyfriend?” Frank muttered and as Gerard turned around with a shocked look upon his face, Frank’s didn’t look much better. In fact, he couldn’t believe he had just said that out loud.
“Whoa, I didn’t mean, I just, forget it.” Frank mumbled trying to pull his pants up but missing the hole with the button various times. Gerard saw this and wandered back over to Frank where he batted his hands away and buttoned them for Frank, zipping them up whilst he was there too. Once he had straightened Frank’s tie for him also he placed a small kiss on the younger’s nose and spoke.
“I‘d love to be.” And with a smile wrapped his arms around Frank’s petite body.

Another month had passed since Frank had asked Gerard to be his boyfriend in a very girly and embarrassing manor, even for Frank, and the couple were doing great. They would spend every lunch together and most nights would either eat out after work or go back to one another’s to order take out or sometimes cook. It was a Friday night and as the week had been a particularly hard one for both mentioned they had decided to travel back to Frank’s and order something in.
“Food’s here babe.” Gerard called as he took the bags of food from the door and paid the delivery man. Frank was just getting out of the shower and as he wandered into the living room with just a towel clutched around his middle Gerard could have sworn he looked a lot more appetizing than the food and hell, he liked Chinese.
“Take a picture, it might last longer.” Frank giggled as Gerard continued to stare with the bag of food still in his hands by his side. Snapping out of it Gerard made a mock face and wandered over to the kitchen to dish the food out whilst Frank went and changed. Coming back in wearing his batman boxers and a shirt he settled himself down on the couch and waited for his boyfriend to bring the food over.
No more than half hour later the pair had finished their food and had placed the plates down on the floor beside the couch and had snuggled up to watch a film. Gerard was lay out flat and Frank was between his legs, head on his chest facing the television. Gerard however, wasn’t really paying that much attention to the blood and gore flashing across the screen and was quite content in running his fingers through Frank’s hair slowly.
“I love you,” Gerard whispered as he stroked Frank’s hair back. Okay, it had come from nowhere as they hadn’t really exchanged that many ‘I love you’ phrases yet but at that moment in time all snuggled up and content Gerard felt the need to voice it. Frank almost immediately let his eyes wander from the television and turned himself over so that he was lying with his chest pressed to Gerard’s and his face close. Shuffling that little bit closer Frank leant in and kissed his partner’s lips lightly before looking straight into his eyes, biting his lip and adding,
“I love you too.” And with all the strength he could find Gerard grabbed Frank by the back of the neck and slammed his lips against his. Panting heavily after a few minutes of swollen lips sliding against the other and hands wandering past material Gerard pulled back and looked Frank in the eye.
“Can we take this to your room?” He asked, really hoping that Frank would want to.
“I thought you‘d never ask.” And with that Frank stood up and took Gerard’s hand and led him into his room. Once there he pushed Gerard down onto the bed and attached their lips once again only this time after a few minutes in their clothes were discarded on the bedroom floor and they were touching one another wherever they felt fit.
This time it was Frank who broke the embrace and leant over to the box on the side of his bed to pull out a condom and a packet of lube. Leaning back on the bed he handed them to Gerard and smiled.
“I want you to make love to me.”
Gerard bit his lip and nodded, feeling a sudden rush of love and closeness to his boyfriend. The pair had not had full blown penetrative sex yet and for them both being so in love, it was a bit deal that they both wanted to get right and remember as a good experience. So taking the two small packets from Frank Gerard set to work, pushing Frank so that he was lying on his back with his legs spread a little waiting.
He made sure to prep his lover well before he moved onto anything else, taking his time to caress Frank’s body and to relax him the best he could. Frank felt as if he was floating with the feather like touches all across his body and the small kisses Gerard would place at random places. Soon enough though after removing three fingers from his boyfriend Gerard felt that he was ready and as he rolled the condom over his erection and lubed it up quite well he made sure to lace his fingers with Frank and kiss his boyfriend’s lips before guiding himself into his partner.
As soon as he was buried Frank let his eyes slip closed and his jaw loosen. He shut his mind off completely and focused on how good it felt to feel so full, so together and as Gerard started to pull out slowly and thrust a little back in he sighed and lost himself completely to the feel of being joined with the person he loved.
Both wanted their actions to last forever as it felt so good but not long into it both felt as if they were going to explode and with a faint call of the others name and harsh moans they both met their climax. After a few minutes and before they got comfortable snuggling Gerard pulled out and discarded the condom in the bin before settling himself back into bed right next to Frank. The younger of the two snuggled into the others side and placed light kisses across his chest.
And just as he could feel his eyes drooping ready for sleep Frank mumbled. “Night Gee, love you.”
Pulling his lover closer to his chest Gerard placed a small kiss on Frank’s head and muttered into it, “I love you too Frankie.”

The morning after Gerard woke with Frank slotted neatly against his side, head in his armpit and lips open slightly against his side. Stroking his hair back for a while Frank’s eyes finally opened and as he grunted and pressed his face closer to Gerard’s the elder really didn’t have the heart to tell him he needed to jump from bed fairly quickly and shower if they were going to make it in on time for work. Being the lovely boyfriend that he was Gerard let Frank have a whole 5 more minutes before stroking his arm lightly and whispering his good morning.
“Wanna sleep.” Frank mumbled against Gerard’s skin.
“Frankie we‘re gonna be late.”
“I‘m boss.” He stated and Gerard couldn’t really argue with that.
It took Gerard a further 15 minutes to drag Frank out of bed and as they drank their coffee quickly Gerard could had sworn that morning Frank was the cutest and most adorable thing he had ever seen, ever. His hair was still sticking up in all the wrong places and his eyes looked heavy. As Frank walked over to the sink to place his cup in it Gerard walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist before kissing the back of his neck lightly.
“Last night was amazing.” He whispered into Frank’s ear and felt the younger shiver at the memory.
“It was more than amazing.” Frank concluded and placed a hand on the back of Gerard’s neck and moved his head so that they could kiss softly.
Walking into work later that day hand in hand after having the most romantic lunch Gerard wandered over to his cubicle and watched as Frank walked to his office and just before he opened the door to walk though turned back around and grinned at Gerard from across the office and yes, it was then that Gerard realized he had well and truly fallen for Frank and he was going to do nothing but sit back and enjoy the ride.

He thinks it’s the way his heart flutters and maybe the way when he opens his mouth to speak it just isn’t possible. He thinks maybe it’s the way his eyes simply stop and stare, not able to focus on anything else or maybe, just maybe the way when his skin is touched he feels like he is burning, fucking pulsing with passion and lust and love.
It’s those little things that suggested to Gerard he was well and truly fallen in love with his colleague, Frank.
It had started a while back when Gerard had accepted the 9-5 job in a stuffy, boring office. Of course, he was desperate and needed the money if he actually wanted to eat every evening and if he wanted to keep painting. Who ever knew a blank canvas was so expensive? But upon accepting the job Gerard had become a little more accepting of the hot and sticky office and his cramped desk space when he received his first pay packet and when he ran into Frank in the tea room.
Of course, being the klutz that he always was Gerard, after spilling the milk and missing the bin with the tea bag ran into Frank on his way out of the door and had spilt the drink all over his white and very expensive shirt. It was pretty much what every awkward ‘first meeting gooey eyed’ movie scene should look like and when Gerard blushed and tried to wipe the tea stain from Frank’s shirt (which he was still wearing) Gerard was sure he wanted the ground the swallow him right there and then and for his job to simply be forgotten.
“Hey, don’t worry about it,” Frank had stated trying to grab the damp cloth from Gerard’s clumsy hands. “Honestly, I have a change of clothes in my locker.”
Gerard stopped his scrubbing movements and took a step back, looking up at Frank and once more blushing like a school girl who had just been smiled at by her crush across the yard.
“I‘m really, really sorry.” Gerard started to apologies. “I will buy you a new shirt, I mean, as soon as I get my pay ch-” Gerard muttered on, before resting his eyes on Frank’s name badge.
Frank Iero -Company manager
“That’s, that’s if I still have a pay...”
Frank laughed and placed a friendly hand on his new employee’s shoulder. “Welcome to the team Gerard.” and with that he had walked away smiling. Of course Gerard was left standing in the tea room with a dripping wet cloth making a mess on his shoes and the floor and his mouth slightly ajar.
Yes, he was pretty sure that was when the love affair started.
After the tea room incident Gerard was careful to keep his distance from making any kind of hot beverage or the office door which had Frank’s name on. Gerard was sure he was doing well a few weeks in, that was until he received a company email from the boss himself.
Gerard, I noticed that we hadn’t spoken since that accident in the tea room. My office in 5 please?
Gerard swallowed hard as his throat constricted. He had been doing so well up until then and why on earth would Frank the manager want to see him anyway? The dark haired man shook his head and shrugged before pushing his chair back and walking across the office to the door that had Frank’s name on in shiny letters.
Gerard knocked just because that was always polite when trying to catch the attention of your boss and when he heard and faint call he assumed that it was Frank asking him to enter. And of course Gerard just had to fuck such a simple thing as walking through a door at the right time up, and burst into the door right as Frank was taking what looked like a pretty important call.
“Fuck, I‘m sorry!” And once again Gerard didn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. Frank, who did look slightly pissed off, held his hand out in an attempt to quieten Gerard without breaking the conversation he was having on the phone and motioned for him to take a seat. Once off the phone Gerard lifted his head and shot Frank an apologetic look.
“I‘m, really, really sorry for bursting in like that, I-I did knock but I thought I heard you say something and of course you didn’t an-”
“Gerard it‘s fine, honestly. I asked you in here anyway and no harm was done on the phone.” Frank smiled and once again tried to make light of the awkward situation Gerard had managed to get himself into once again with his boss.
Gerard returned the almost friendly smile. “So you wanted to see me? Look if it is about your shirt that I ruined I really am going to buy you a new one when I get paid, just like, you know tell me sizing and what not so I don’t manage to fuck - I mean, mess that up as well.” Gerard rushed and stumbled over his words as Frank sat there looking fairly amused.
“Okay we really do need to talk. First, I told you I don’t mind about the shirt and you really don’t need to buy me a new one. Second, I may be your boss but I am only 27 myself so cursing, totally cool.” Frank grinned and cocked his head to the side studying Gerard’s face.
Gerard laughed airily at what Frank had just said, and the fact that okay, he seemed pretty alright. Not many bosses would sit and joke about cursing and their age right?
“Sorry, I kinda jump to conclusions myself.”
Frank laughed this time. “I had noticed. But, the real reason I asked you into here was just to say well done. You‘re doing a great job for the company and just wanted to let you know.” Gerard sighed at this whilst thanking the lord above that he wasn’t about to get fired or anything as he really did need that money for art supplies, and a new shirt for Frank whatever he may say on the matter.
“Thanks, Sir.”
“Oh, I‘m way too young for that. Call me Frank, please?”
Gerard swallowed and nodded before adding “Okay, Si- Frank.” and nodding once again. “I‘m gonna get back to my, er, desk now.” Gerard motioned to the door and lifted himself from the chair. Frank smiled and nodded.
“Oh and Gerard-”
Gerard stopped just as he was about to walk out of the door and turned to face Frank.
“Nice Chucks.” He grinned and Gerard looked down to his feet. Fuck, he thought. He had forgotten to change his shoes into more smarter and appropriate for work but hey, Frank liked them?
As Gerard shut the door to Frank’s office he paused and composed himself before quickly shuffling over to his desk to think about anything other than his totally hot boss. Frank on the other hand was left leaning back in his chair grinning at just how awkward and cute his new employee was.

It must have been only a few days after their little talk in Frank’s office that they ran into one another and once again, quite literally. This time Gerard was just about to walk from the photocopy room and Frank was walking in with a large pile of papers and of course it was just their luck that they would bump one another and Frank’s papers would fall to the ground.
“Fuck! I have got to stop doing this.” Gerard muttered as he realized what he had done and already bent down to start picking Frank’s papers up for him.
“Hey it‘s okay, don’t worry.” Frank offered and bent down to help Gerard pick the papers from the floor. Once they were all up and in a very untidy pile and nowhere in order Frank started to sort though them in some vain attempt to file them back to something that slightly resembled order. Hell, it had taken him about an hour to file and get ready to photocopy.
“Here let me help.” Gerard offered.
Frank screwed up his face. “No it‘s fine, really it wont take long.”
Gerard made a face just similar to Frank’s and added “I‘m meant to be on lunch now and by the looks of those, you will be here hours. So, pass me some.” Gerard ended with a smile and was eventually, handed some of the papers to put back into order.
It didn’t take the pair that long to finish filing and to photocopy each in order and when they were done sighed and smiled in relief.
“Thanks for helping me; I really wouldn’t have gotten out of here till tonight otherwise.”
“I know now come on, want to grab a coffee?” Gerard paused right after he had said that and thought about the many different ways Frank could interpret it but this time simply though fuck it and went with whatever Frank was about to say.
“I would kill for one!” The boss claimed as Gerard saw his hazel eyes light up and his mouth contort into a large grin. Coffee was obviously something they both shared a love for.
And so the pair ended up in the staff canteen sipping coffee and talking about things Gerard wouldn’t have expected a company boss to take interest in, such as music and comic books.
“Man I will have to show you my secret comics stash in my office, I make it look like I work but secretly I sit in my office all day reading old batman issues.” Frank grinned kind of lowering his voice so only Gerard could hear.
The elder couldn’t help but laugh at Frank’s honesty and liked how they were already talking like they were old friends. Hell, Gerard needed a friend at this point in his life; his younger brother Mikey had up and left a few months ago to move in with his long term boyfriend and sometimes Gerard’s apartment felt a little cold and empty. It was conversation such as this that Gerard missed when walking through his door in the evening or when looking at his cell and realizing that nobody had called just to see how he was.
“I really wouldn’t have guessed looking at you y‘know.”
Frank grinned “Wait till you see my ink!” He beamed whilst taking a large gulp from his coffee.
Gerard almost choked on his when Frank said that because Gerard obviously had taken it the wrong way but that didn’t stop Frank from grinning and handing Gerard a napkin to wipe his mouth after he had finishing choking.
“Thanks.” Gerard mumbled.
“No problem.” Frank genuinely smiled and he as well couldn’t remember the last time he had engaged in such a cool conversation. It had been a while and there was something about talking to Gerard that was pretty refreshing from the everyday bore of working as a company manager at such an age of 27. Sometimes Frank wanted to go out and have a bit of fun; go to a gig and get completely wasted without having to think about stupid time sheets and cheque he would have to write out the next day whilst nursing a motherfucker of a hangover.
Drinking down the rest of his coffee Frank sighed. “I‘m gonna have to get back to my office now, plenty more sheets to file where they came from.” Gerard shot him an apologetic look once again and Frank noted that it was certainly a face Gerard had perfected and that he really, really needed to stop saying sorry. Even if it was just with his eyes. “Thank you, for helping though.”
“No problem, anytime Frank.”
The pair exchanged a warm smile and Frank turned his back and wandered back to his office and for once, he had a smile on his face.

The next time the pair met again was in the coffee room. This time though Gerard managed to keep all of his drink in his mug and Frank had no masses of paper to drop. It seemed to work well and for once they exchanged a hello without one of them cursing or shooting an ‘I’m sorry’ look at the other.
“I was wondering, would you like to come to this comic fare with me this weekend? It‘s just I know you like the stuff too and nobody else really likes it, and well, I‘d like you to come?” Frank waffled barely breathing as he asked Gerard.
The taller of the two cocked his head to the side in order to make some kind of sense from what Frank had just breezed through but no, it was no use.
“Can you say that kind of slower this time?” Gerard grinned and sipped on his drink.
Frank sighed and tried again. “Comic fare, weekend, me and you, yes or no?”
Gerard grinned. “That‘s better. And I‘d love to but Frank, I‘m kind of your employee?” Frank scrunched up his face as to say ‘so what?’
“Well, aren‘t we meant to keep things like strictly professional?”
“Yes, but I‘m the boss and what I says goes!”
Gerard actually giggled at that part of the conversation and told Frank that yes, he would quite like to go to the comic fare with him.
Now, both knew that it wasn’t a date. Of course it wasn’t a date because Frank didn’t like Gerard like that, the elder thought, and Gerard wouldn’t ever be interested in his boss, Frank thought. Obviously they were each as bad as the other and would need some kind of miracle to actually ask one another out as something more than friends or colleagues.
That was where Mikey entered the equation though. It was just like Gerard to forget something so simple as his one and only sibling coming to stay and it just so happened to be the weekend he and Frank were off to the comic fare.
“Shit!” Gerard threw his hands up in the air as he opened his front door to see Mikey standing there with an overnight bag and a smile on his lips.
“Yeah it‘s nice to see you too bro.” Mikey scoffed and barged past his brother and into the apartment leaving Gerard stood at the door looking very confused.
“Mikes, you don’t understand!”
Mikey barely even lifted his eyes from Gerard’s widescreen television as his brother flailed his arms around and near enough tore his hair from his head.
“No I get it, you want to bone your new boss and I‘m in the way right?” Mikey said jokingly and when Gerard simply stood there not saying a word the younger groaned and shot his brother a glare.
“Gerard! You told me that wouldn’t happen again!”
“Oh Mikes hush, he‘s different!”
“And what makes you so sure of this one?”
“He wants to take me to a comic fare?”
Mikey pondered for a second, “Yeah, keep him.”
Gerard smiled and launched himself down onto his couch next to Mikey and threw an arm around his shoulders.
“He‘s really cute Mikes.” Gerard sighed as Mikey pulled a disgusted face and moved his brother’s arm from around him.
“I don’t really want to know.”
“But he is hot.”
“Sure. So where‘s he taking you on this hot date?”
Gerard paused before speaking, trying to think what to say as such. “It isn’t a date I mean, I don’t even know if he‘s gay. But apparently it‘s some comic fare in NYC.”
“Sounds cool, can I come?” Mikey grinned.
Gerard opened his mouth to protest but nothing really came out. He wanted to say no as Mikey would only embarrass him and say the most inappropriate things that little brothers are meant to say but at the same time, he knew that this weekend was meant to be brotherly bonding time or whatever they liked to call it.
“Sure, if you want to.” Mikey’s eyes nearly bulged from his head at his reply.
“Are you being serious?”
Gerard only nodded in case opening his mouth might have changed his mind.
“You‘re the best.” Mikey informed, “And I totally won’t embarrass you.”
Gerard scowled at him before wandering up to his room; it had been a long day.

It was now Friday morning and the comic fare was the next day, and to say Frank was nervous would have been the understatement of the year. He kept thinking that maybe Gerard was right about the whole work relationship. But then he though that if other colleagues could go out for drinks or whatever else they did then why couldn’t they go do something they both enjoyed? Either way, Frank was going to have to pluck up the courage to speak to Gerard to arrange details. Anyone would have thought he fancied the tight fucking pants off of his new employee.
It wasn’t until Gerard was about to leave that day, feeling pretty fed up as Frank hadn’t even tried to speak to him about the following day and so assumed he didn’t want to go that Frank skidded over to Gerard’s cubicle.
“Hey! Look, sorry I haven‘t been over sooner I had a bunch of paperwork and yeah, tomorrow?”
Gerard smiled but couldn’t help but remember that Frank had completed his paper work the following day. Pushing that thought aside Gerard listened to Frank’s arrangements and it was only after Frank had ran back into his office that he had remembered he had meant to ask Frank about Mikey joining them.
He figured he wouldn’t mind and so he planned to take Mikey along to their meeting point the following day.
That night both Frank and Gerard, both oblivious to the other found it pretty hard to sleep that night. Partly due to the excitement of actually being at a comic fare for the first time in years but mostly due to the fact that they both seriously wanted the other in their bed at the drop of a pin.
The next morning didn’t really go to plan for the Way’s but that was nothing new as both brothers were pretty clumsy or just highly disorganized.
“Mikey get the fuck out of my bathroom!” Gerard near on screamed through the bathroom door. Mikey had been hogging the bathroom for near an hour now and they were both going to be late if he didn’t hurry the fuck up and give Gerard a turn to get ready. Hell, it was him that was trying ever so maybe to impress Frank, what did Mikey need to look good for?
“I‘m nearly done!”
“Mikey get the fuck out of there now before I fucking castrate you!”
Pretty much a few seconds after Gerard had screamed that through the door Mikey was unlocking the door and scrambling to the guest bedroom. Gerard grinned and rushed into the room in some vain attempt to actually make himself presentable for Frank.
Once they had both thrown their clothes on and grabbed the necessary things for the day Gerard pushed Mikey out of his door and into his car with a stern look on his face whilst stressing about how they were going to be ‘fucking late for fuck sakes Mikey you fucker.’ Mikey nodded and went along with whatever his brother said in an attempt to calm him down a little before meeting with Frank.
They arrived at the store Frank had given directions to only 5 minutes late and spotted Frank waiting outside of the main entrance for him. On walking closer to Frank Mikey scoffed and leant into Gerard’s ear.
“He is sogay!”
Gerard shot him a death glare and continued walking, whilst maybe checking out what Mikey had meant and damn, he could have been right. Standing outside the shop clad in the tightest black skinnies and an even tighter Misfits shirt on was Frank. And fuck, his arms! Gerard gawped at the skin that was littered in every colour ink you could imagine, all kinds of different patterns and styles and wow, now more than ever did Gerard want his boss pined against his bed wearing nothing but that sexy ink.
When seeing them Frank waved but did look a little confused; most probably as to who Mikey was and why he was walking with Gerard towards him. Being the polite person he was though, Frank managed to greet them both no different.
“Hey! Glad you could make it.” Frank smiled warmly.
“Me too, and I‘m really sorry I forgot to ask but this is Mikey, my brother.”
Frank smiled even wider, with something that looked a little like relief on his face as he extended his arm to shake Mikey’s hand.
“I hope it‘s alright, I would have checked.”
“Hey no, it‘s fine! More the merrier, right?” And with that statement Frank nearly sounded convincing to Mikey.
When walking into the fare Mikey grabbed his brother’s arm and whispered in his ear “He totally wants you bro.” before grinning and wandering off down an isle on his own leaving Gerard pretty speechless but most importantly, on his own with Frank.
“So, thanks for coming.” Frank spoke trying to make some kind of conversation.
“No, thanks for inviting me. It looks pretty rad here.”
“Yeah, it really is. My Dad used to bring me here when I was younger, haven’t really been in years.”
“Why’s that?”
“Never really had anybody to go with.” Frank admitted and blushed slightly.
Gerard smiled at him and patted his shoulder “Well I‘m here, so lets go find some really cool stuff okay?”
Frank grinned and nodded before all but dragging Gerard down an isle that was labelled ‘Toys and figures.’
By the end of the day all 3 men were carrying at least one heavy bag each filled with comics or something to do with them. Gerard had been clawing at many of the comics but had to remind himself that he hadn’t been paid yet so buying something was not on the agenda. It was then that Frank had stepped in claiming that he had nobody to spend his money on and rarely treated himself. Gerard had protested but Frank had gone and grabbed everything he had seen Gerard gooey eye at that day and threw them in the basket.
“You‘re so stupid, I mean! In a nice way, you know?” Gerard tried to state what he had meant and Frank knew, but still giggled at Gerard.
“I know what you mean.”
“But what I‘m trying to say is, thank you. You didn’t have to get me all of that, I mean, really.” Once again Gerard stumbled over his words and Frank could have sworn his heart might have melted, just a little and the urge to grab Gerard and place a bruising kiss on his lips was slightly overwhelming.
“Anytime right. There aren’t many that would come with me from knowing me what, a few weeks? And put up with my dorky interests.” Frank offered and pulled a goofy face to back his statement up.
Gerard giggled and nodded. “Well, it‘s a good job I‘m just as dorky, right?”
Frank couldn’t remember the last time he had honestly smiled as much as he did then as he nodded and mentally thought to himself that yes, this Gerard Way was a keeper.
“Gee I‘m hungry.” Mikey complained whilst trying to rub his stomach to prove his point.
“And? What am I, your mother?” Gerard shot back smirking.
“Gee!” Mikey whined, “I‘m staying with you, you are meant to feed me!”
Gerard rolled his eyes as Frank started to laugh at the brother’s exchange.
“Want to go get something to eat Frank?”
“Sure!”
“Come on Mikeyface, we‘ll find you some kids meal that will fill your tummy right up!” Gerard mocked, totally playing the part of his mother.
Mikey scowled. “Never do that voice again.” And continued to walk a little faster ahead of the other two.
It wasn’t long before the three of them were in a small booth at a pizza restaurant that Mikey had chosen and were quite content in filling their faces with as much as they could eat. Once finished Gerard managed to get them both to split the bill three ways, before Frank could pay for them all.
“I had a great day,” Frank concluded whilst standing at his car.
“Yeah, me too.” Gerard smiled and just as he was about to say something else Mikey shouted over to him from their car.
“Gerard come on, I‘m freezing my ass off here!”
Gerard rolled his eyes trying not to get too embarrassed. “Sorry about him, he‘s just cranky cause he‘s away from his boyfriend you know?”
Frank laughed and nodded. “Yeah, I used to get like that, no worries.”
Whoa. Gerard had to double take that, did Frank just imply a boyfriend?
“It‘s over now though, so I‘m less cranky.” Frank grinned.
“Oh, cool.” Gerard stated in a daze like state before being snapped from it as he heard Mikey shouting again. “I have to go but thanks, for a really awesome day.” Gerard smiled and just as he was about to walk away Frank grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
“Thank you.” Frank mumbled before pulling Gerard into an awkward hug. Gerard could have sworn there was a nest of butterflies released into his gut at that point and mentally made a note to check he still had fucking balls when he actually sniffed to see just what Frank smelt like. Letting go, the pair smiled and as Gerard wandered back over to his car Frank couldn’t help but look at his ass and hips swaying like that and fuck, he knew something just had to be done.

The next few days proved to be difficult for both Frank and Gerard. Frank was the kind of boss that normally stayed in his office. Of course, he mixed and greeted his staff in the mornings but during the day his office was a safe haven. That was difficult for Frank now as he knew that Gerard was sitting on the other side of that office door sporting that ever so cute pout he had whilst typing with those hands, oh god those hands, Frank thought. They were lean and his fingers were long and urgh, Frank had to stop thinking about him.
Gerard wasn’t much better either and whenever he picked up a piece of company paper on his desk that had Frank’s signature at the bottom of the page he would space out into a fully blown daydream of Frank and how they would be so great together and by the end of the day, he realized he had done little to no work and fuck, Frank would have his head.
It took a lot of courage to do what Frank was about to do on day 5 since the comic fare but enough was enough right? He was sick to death of wandering past Gerard’s cubicle like a lost lamb and passing there with love sick eyes and most of the times, walking into random objects as he just couldn’t tear his eyes away. At any given opportunity he would try and speak to Gerard most of the time just to see his lips move and to hear his voice.
It was true alright, both men had it bad and the other was totally fucking oblivious. This, was where Frank’s plan came into play.
Checking his company email once again Gerard’s heart started to beat faster and butterflies grew in his stomach when he saw one from Frank. Moving his clammy hand over to the mouse to click on the email he shuffled forward in his chair and set his eyes to the screen to read.
Gerard, when you’ve got a minute could you come to my office please?
Frank x
After at least 10 times of reading the small sentence over and over again it was safe to say Gerard could recite the words without even looking. Every time he saw the little ‘x’ at the end of Frank’s name his stomach would flip and his heart would beat faster. Why would his boss put a kiss at the end of a company email? He was pretty sure he didn’t do that to anyone else in the office. Pushing his chair back and almost tripping over whilst running from his cubicle Gerard made the short trip across the office floor to Frank’s door and knocked.
“Come in!” Frank called as Gerard settled his hand on the handle and pushed the door open. Upon seeing who it was Frank shot up in his chair and settled his sandwich down onto his desk before wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Sir, you wanted to see me?”
Frank scowled. “Gerard, It‘s Frank remember!”
“Oh, Oh yeah! Sorry, Frank.”
Frank smiled and motioned for Gerard to sit down.
“So, what did you want to see me for? If it‘s about the last few days and lack of work, I‘m really, really sorry and-” And that was enough for Frank, fuck the plan he thought and as he saw Frank stand from his desk and lean across the table and place his fucking lips on his he didn’t really have much time to think about any excuse and by the looks of things, Frank didn’t care.
And that was that, leant across the desk Frank jumped into the deep end and just went for it. He was sick of pussyfooting around Gerard and hell, if all went wrong he could transfer Gerard to another department right? But as soon as Frank felt Gerard kissing back he knew that wouldn’t be needed. Especially not when Gerard opened his mouth that little more and flicked his tongue out to swipe across Frank’s bottom lip. It didn’t take much longer for Gerard to move a hand to the back of Frank’s neck and to push his hand up into his dark brown hair that he had dreamt of pulling for weeks now and Frank’s hand was on the side of his face just holding him there and yes, they could both get used to this.
Pulling back as craning his neck across the desk was starting to hurt a little Frank settled one last kiss on Gerard’s lips and sat back, biting his lip and waiting for a reaction.
“Um, wow?”
Frank let out an airy laugh and relaxed a little.
“Yeah, you could say that.”
“I‘ve kinda, well wanted to do that,” and Gerard motioned towards Frank “all week, well, longer than that really but, yeah.” He concluded his voice a little quieter towards the end.
“Me too, sorry to drag you in here and well, launch myself at you.”
“You really, really don’t have to apologies for that.” Gerard smiled and moved his hand across the desk to squeeze Frank’s. “I really have to get back, do some work otherwise I‘m going to cost your business a small fortune.”
Frank laughed and nodded “I had noticed you hadn’t done much for a few days, but that’s fine, I think you might have been in the same frame of mind as me.”
Gerard looked confused. “And that would be?”
“That would be ‘I fancy the pants off of my colleague and I can’t concentrate’ mode.” Frank said with a laugh.
Gerard pretty much blushed but nodded none the less. He pushed his chair back and stood up, walking towards the door.
“Gerard?”
He turned around and saw Frank getting up from his desk and heading for him.
“Yeah?”
And then he was right there again, lips attached to Gerard’s but this time it was Frank’s tongue that had swiped across the other’s bottom lip and found its way into Gerard’s mouth as he was pushed back against the office door. Getting right into the embrace Gerard moved an arm down and grasped Frank’s hip with his hand whist the other moved up to the back of his neck again.
After a few moments the pair had to pull back for air and if they didn’t stop their selves, they would progress to many more things in the space of minutes. It was Frank that had come out of the kiss looking worse with his lips kiss swollen and his hair just about all over the place.
“I‘m, gonna, work!” Gerard tried to spit out, obviously just as flustered as Frank.
The shorter of the two giggled and leant up to peck Gerard’s lips once more before opening the door for him.
Just as Gerard was walking back to his cubicle Frank called his name once again and stopped him.
“Gerard?”
Gerard smiled and turned around to face Frank.
“Meet me outside in 10?” Frank asked slightly nervous, but had no reason to be when Gerard beamed and nodded.
Wandering back into his office and making sure his door was well and truly shut Frank pumped the air with his fist and did a crazy ‘Frank’ dance that involved wiggling his hips way to many times even for a gay man. And as for Gerard, he wasn’t much better as he wandered back to his cubicle in a daze like state and every time he tried to tidy his desk for the end of the day, things would randomly slip through his hands as he would bring his fingers up to his lips to trace where Frank’s had just been.
It didn’t take long for both men to shove their belongings in their bags, slightly tidy their desks for the next day and rush down into the front lobby of the building to meet the other. They smiled awkwardly at one another as they met eyes and wandering out into the street stopped and paused.
“So, want to go get something to eat?” Frank offered zipping his jacket up and pulling a cigarette out and lighting it, not before offering Gerard one, who gratefully accepted.
Taking a much needed drag on the stick in his mouth Gerard nodded before taking another puff and at that point Frank couldn’t remember anyone ever looking that sexy whilst smoking. “Sure that sounds good, anywhere in mind?”
“Yeah, come on its within walking distance.” Frank smiled and motioned for Gerard to follow him. It didn’t take that long for them to find the place Frank was on about and to get seated. Once they had chosen and were tucking into their starters Frank swallowed his last bite and took a breath before speaking.
“I‘m sorry if I shocked you today, or whatever.”
Gerard scrunched up his face. “Well, you shocked me but, but it was a nice shock, right?” He asked adding the question on the end, hoping he could indicate whether Frank really was interested or not.
“Yeah, I‘m glad I did it.” Frank smiled chewing on his fingernails.
“Me too.” Gerard confirmed and went back to eating what he had left.
The rest of their meal was pretty uneventful, apart from the awkward touches as they went to take a sip of their drinks or when both tried to pay for the other at the end of the meal.
“Let me pay, you paid for my comic stuff!” Gerard whined and Frank giggled liking the fact that Gerard felt comfortable enough around him to actually let his barrier down and joke around. He felt that was a great sign.
“No! I asked you here, so, nur!” Frank stuck his tongue out and giggled. Gerard only did the same but finally agreed to let his boss pay.
“I‘m paying next time.”
Frank raised his eyebrows and smirked. “So you want a next time?”
Gerard’s eyes went a little wider for a second or two before gaining his confidence again and smirking along. “You even had to ask?”
And with one last smile the pair left the money and walked from the restaurant and into the street. Lighting up again and handing Gerard one the pair walked back to the company car park in silent, just enjoying the others company. As they arrived back to Gerard’s car both stood there feeling slightly awkward and not really knowing how to end such a lovely evening.
“I like this,” Frank stated whilst motioning between the two of them.
Gerard fiddled with the keys that were in his hand and nodded, trying to speak but nothing really came out.
“You‘re cute, you know that?” Frank mused as Gerard once again tried to say something but didn’t succeed.
Gerard mocked a shocked face, “I am not cute, I am, very, manly!” He protested whilst jutting his bottom lip out slightly and that, was an invitation Frank just couldn’t resist. Leaning forward and pinning Gerard against his car Frank moved his lips to the taller man’s, sucking lightly on the prominent lip and swiping his tongue across it a few times. The kiss stayed rather soft, not really progressing into anything more than Frank’s tongue movements but Gerard liked that. He liked the feel of Frank and the weight of his body pressed against his and he liked how soft Frank’s lips were and god, he liked how Frank’s hand would slowly creep down to his hip to rub small circles across the material.
Pulling back Frank blushed lightly. “Sorry, got to learn to control myself.”
Gerard chuckled lightly. “No, you really don’t have to.”
“Good, cause I really don’t want to.” And with that Frank moved in again placing his lips on Gerard’s a repeating the same movements and this time, for much longer.

After that night the pair often met at lunch for something to eat or Frank would call Gerard to his office on some ‘very important’ grounds or whatever Frank liked to write in his personal emails. Gerard would often sit at his desk in his secluded cubicle trying to get work done and all Frank would be doing was emailing and distracting him with suggestions and mentions of previous dates. And really, Gerard didn’t mind but he was sure that Frank would start to whine on how he was doing no work, even though it was his doing in the first place.
It was now 2 months since Gerard had first joined the company and a little under those since the pair had shared their first kiss. Things were going well, and much like before Gerard had been called to Frank’s office to attend to a ‘very important problem.’ When Gerard did walk into Frank’s office he found his boss relaxed in his chair, feet on the desk and tie loose and fuck, did he look sexy.
Gerard gulped. “You er, you wanted to see, me?”
Frank nodded whist running a hand through his untamed hair. “Yeah, I did. You see, I have this, problem and it just wont go away.” Gerard looked confused but as Frank moved his hand that had been running through his hair to his thigh and began moving it back and forth, he was pretty sure he knew what his ‘problem’ was. “I need some help, you see.”
Gerard’s eyes went wide as he saw Frank move his hand directly over the now visible bulge in his slacks and as Frank motioned him over by curling his finger Gerard licked his lips and went running. It would have been rude not to right?
Sitting himself against the desk Gerard kept his hands in his lap, not wanting to be the one who initiated what Frank was wanting them to do.
“You see, I‘ve been stuck in here allday and knowing you were out there, just sitting there doing what I tell you to do made me want you even more.” Frank admitted as Gerard sat there looking slightly lost.
“I want you, Gerard.” Frank moved his lips so they were close to Gerard’s ear and whispered the words so that he could feel his hot breath on his neck. “I want you, right here, right now.” He concluded, breath hitching slightly as he finished.
And that was all Gerard really needed for him to practically jump into Frank’s lap and attach his needy lips to the others. It didn’t take long for Frank to start thrusting his hips up against Gerard’s and god, why had they waited nearly 2 months to even start something like this? Okay, they had made out a lot and got near to stages such as grinding but why hadn’t they done it? Alas, they were sure as hell going to make up for lost time and when Gerard moved his hand between the two to unbutton and zip both their trousers Frank was sure they would be doing this again because fuck, it was hot.
Pushing his own pants down a little with his boxers Gerard sighed when his cock came forth, sporting quite a hard on and for Frank, it wasn’t much different when Gerard hovered over him so he could wiggle from them. Getting back down to business Gerard ground his hips down into the man’s underneath him and both gasped as their tender, hot flesh met the other’s. It only really took some grinding, a few especially hard thrusts and some seriously hot lip action on Frank’s part for them to both come hard against the other, both panting and moans muffled by the other’s lips.
Slumping against Frank and nuzzling his neck into the smaller man’s Gerard gasped and tried to regain normal breathing. After a while and when he was able to speak he pressed a small kiss against the side of Frank’s neck before speaking.
“That, was hot.”
Frank nodded against Gerard’s head and moved his arms so that they were wrapped around Gerard’s back.
“Yeah, yeah.” he added not really able to string together much else.
It was only when Gerard climbed off of Frank to wipe himself down and to pull his pants up again that Frank started to talk again.
“Will you be my boyfriend?” Frank muttered and as Gerard turned around with a shocked look upon his face, Frank’s didn’t look much better. In fact, he couldn’t believe he had just said that out loud.
“Whoa, I didn’t mean, I just, forget it.” Frank mumbled trying to pull his pants up but missing the hole with the button various times. Gerard saw this and wandered back over to Frank where he batted his hands away and buttoned them for Frank, zipping them up whilst he was there too. Once he had straightened Frank’s tie for him also he placed a small kiss on the younger’s nose and spoke.
“I‘d love to be.” And with a smile wrapped his arms around Frank’s petite body.

Another month had passed since Frank had asked Gerard to be his boyfriend in a very girly and embarrassing manor, even for Frank, and the couple were doing great. They would spend every lunch together and most nights would either eat out after work or go back to one another’s to order take out or sometimes cook. It was a Friday night and as the week had been a particularly hard one for both mentioned they had decided to travel back to Frank’s and order something in.
“Food’s here babe.” Gerard called as he took the bags of food from the door and paid the delivery man. Frank was just getting out of the shower and as he wandered into the living room with just a towel clutched around his middle Gerard could have sworn he looked a lot more appetizing than the food and hell, he liked Chinese.
“Take a picture, it might last longer.” Frank giggled as Gerard continued to stare with the bag of food still in his hands by his side. Snapping out of it Gerard made a mock face and wandered over to the kitchen to dish the food out whilst Frank went and changed. Coming back in wearing his batman boxers and a shirt he settled himself down on the couch and waited for his boyfriend to bring the food over.
No more than half hour later the pair had finished their food and had placed the plates down on the floor beside the couch and had snuggled up to watch a film. Gerard was lay out flat and Frank was between his legs, head on his chest facing the television. Gerard however, wasn’t really paying that much attention to the blood and gore flashing across the screen and was quite content in running his fingers through Frank’s hair slowly.
“I love you,” Gerard whispered as he stroked Frank’s hair back. Okay, it had come from nowhere as they hadn’t really exchanged that many ‘I love you’ phrases yet but at that moment in time all snuggled up and content Gerard felt the need to voice it. Frank almost immediately let his eyes wander from the television and turned himself over so that he was lying with his chest pressed to Gerard’s and his face close. Shuffling that little bit closer Frank leant in and kissed his partner’s lips lightly before looking straight into his eyes, biting his lip and adding,
“I love you too.” And with all the strength he could find Gerard grabbed Frank by the back of the neck and slammed his lips against his. Panting heavily after a few minutes of swollen lips sliding against the other and hands wandering past material Gerard pulled back and looked Frank in the eye.
“Can we take this to your room?” He asked, really hoping that Frank would want to.
“I thought you‘d never ask.” And with that Frank stood up and took Gerard’s hand and led him into his room. Once there he pushed Gerard down onto the bed and attached their lips once again only this time after a few minutes in their clothes were discarded on the bedroom floor and they were touching one another wherever they felt fit.
This time it was Frank who broke the embrace and leant over to the box on the side of his bed to pull out a condom and a packet of lube. Leaning back on the bed he handed them to Gerard and smiled.
“I want you to make love to me.”
Gerard bit his lip and nodded, feeling a sudden rush of love and closeness to his boyfriend. The pair had not had full blown penetrative sex yet and for them both being so in love, it was a bit deal that they both wanted to get right and remember as a good experience. So taking the two small packets from Frank Gerard set to work, pushing Frank so that he was lying on his back with his legs spread a little waiting.
He made sure to prep his lover well before he moved onto anything else, taking his time to caress Frank’s body and to relax him the best he could. Frank felt as if he was floating with the feather like touches all across his body and the small kisses Gerard would place at random places. Soon enough though after removing three fingers from his boyfriend Gerard felt that he was ready and as he rolled the condom over his erection and lubed it up quite well he made sure to lace his fingers with Frank and kiss his boyfriend’s lips before guiding himself into his partner.
As soon as he was buried Frank let his eyes slip closed and his jaw loosen. He shut his mind off completely and focused on how good it felt to feel so full, so together and as Gerard started to pull out slowly and thrust a little back in he sighed and lost himself completely to the feel of being joined with the person he loved.
Both wanted their actions to last forever as it felt so good but not long into it both felt as if they were going to explode and with a faint call of the others name and harsh moans they both met their climax. After a few minutes and before they got comfortable snuggling Gerard pulled out and discarded the condom in the bin before settling himself back into bed right next to Frank. The younger of the two snuggled into the others side and placed light kisses across his chest.
And just as he could feel his eyes drooping ready for sleep Frank mumbled. “Night Gee, love you.”
Pulling his lover closer to his chest Gerard placed a small kiss on Frank’s head and muttered into it, “I love you too Frankie.”

The morning after Gerard woke with Frank slotted neatly against his side, head in his armpit and lips open slightly against his side. Stroking his hair back for a while Frank’s eyes finally opened and as he grunted and pressed his face closer to Gerard’s the elder really didn’t have the heart to tell him he needed to jump from bed fairly quickly and shower if they were going to make it in on time for work. Being the lovely boyfriend that he was Gerard let Frank have a whole 5 more minutes before stroking his arm lightly and whispering his good morning.
“Wanna sleep.” Frank mumbled against Gerard’s skin.
“Frankie we‘re gonna be late.”
“I‘m boss.” He stated and Gerard couldn’t really argue with that.
It took Gerard a further 15 minutes to drag Frank out of bed and as they drank their coffee quickly Gerard could had sworn that morning Frank was the cutest and most adorable thing he had ever seen, ever. His hair was still sticking up in all the wrong places and his eyes looked heavy. As Frank walked over to the sink to place his cup in it Gerard walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist before kissing the back of his neck lightly.
“Last night was amazing.” He whispered into Frank’s ear and felt the younger shiver at the memory.
“It was more than amazing.” Frank concluded and placed a hand on the back of Gerard’s neck and moved his head so that they could kiss softly.
Walking into work later that day hand in hand after having the most romantic lunch Gerard wandered over to his cubicle and watched as Frank walked to his office and just before he opened the door to walk though turned back around and grinned at Gerard from across the office and yes, it was then that Gerard realized he had well and truly fallen for Frank and he was going to do nothing but sit back and enjoy the ride.
