"gerard is really worried about you." ray said as frank hopped in the car, looking down. ray sighed, "do you wanna tell me what's wrong before you tell gee?" he asked. 

frank nodded, "i've just been thinking a lot. too much, probably."

"you sound like that tyler joseph kid." ray let out a little laugh.

"who knows really. i just, i don't know- i'm just sad and i need gee to cheer me up." frank sighed.

"i'm sure he will- but use protection." ray smiled. frank smiled back because ray is a literal ray of sunshine and when he smiles it cheers the entire world up. 

they drove back to gerard's house, gerard nervously waiting out front. when frank walked out of the car, gerard greeted him with a hug. 

"is everything good?" he asked, holding his boyfriend close. 

"a little." frank sighed. 

"awe, baby- come inside, i'll make you some coffee."  gee smiled, holding his boyfriend's hand as they walked back inside. gerard had motioned ray to come and follow them, which he did. 

gerard made the two of them coffee and such, sitting down on the couch that was outside of his basement bedroom. "why is everything the matter, baby?" he asked, taking a sip.

"i just, i've been thinking. how did somebody as wonderful as you get with somebody like me? i mean, i get that i'm not that bad to you. but still, i know how much of a shitty person i am, and i'm just confused. i love you, but at the same time, i'm tired of pretending that everything is okay, i'm sorry." frank sighed.

"baby, baby, no. you're the best boyfriend i could've asked for, you're always there supporting me and i can't wait until you graduate and we can move to la with mikey and peter. fuck, i don't know how ray is gonna cope with that. but i know you will, because you're just so, understanding. i love you, so fucking much. i just wish that you would love yourself a little bit." gee smiled.

"i was planning to move to la with christa and you guys, actually." ray shrugged.

"see? honey, you're fine- you're so wonderful. and i mean that, you're a talented fucker, you're funny, and fucking adorable- have i ever told you that?" gee asked, smiling.

frank just rested his head on gerard's shoulder.

"thanks baby, i needed it." he smiled, closing his eyes when gee kissed the top of his head softly.
