"Where would we go?"He had asked. Gerard was still flushed; he could still taste Frankie on his lips.
"Anywhere.Everywhere.I don't care. Away from here." He had replied,grabbing the boys' hand.
And so now here they were,running. Moving farther away from their lives with every step, every breath.
"Don't look back Gerard. Don't ever look back."
"Frankie,we gotta stop." Gerard was heaving, he felt his stomach churn sickly. He wasn't used to this much excitement, and excercise.
"We can't stop!" Frank's face was flushed,his lips slightly parted as he stared wide-eyed and his companion.
"Why don't you tell what the fuck is going on? I think I deserve a damned explanation about why I'm leaving my life."
Twitching under Gerard's piercing glare, he stammered "My-my father.Gee he knows ."
"About us? " Frank's father ,the homophob, had once threatened to kill his son if he had ever turned gay, or even shown the slightest intention. There were still scars as proof.
Frank nodded slowly, staring at the ground.
"Frank,he'll kill you!"
"No Gerard.." he argued meekly. "He'll kill the both of us. You should've seen him..his eyes." He began to shake at the memory.
"He's got a gun, oh god Gee, he's got a gun. And he'll kill you. He'll kill the both of us."
Tilting his head up, Gerard kissed Frank's soft lips, cutting off the sobs that began to overcome the small boy.
"We'll keep running then."He said,smiling gently.
-x-
"We can stop here for the night Gee."
Turns and twists began took the two to a path winding away fro mthe main road,to a darker place where only the stars lit the way into the trees and brush.
"Frank.." Hours had seemed to pass the late night, and now the boys stood in front of a shabby looking shed.Gerard looked doubtfully to his lover, than back to the shed in front of him.
"Don't worry, I come here once in a while." Frankie grinned widely, like this was a game. "It's small but it should fit us both.."
"Won't He know?" Gerard asked ,ducking his head as he entered cautiously.
Frank sent him a frown over his shoulder." No, he shouldn't..At least.. I don't know." He sat down silently,patting next to him for Gerard to do the same.
Squatting,he checked his surrondings for spiders and any other .. "delightful" creatures,before laying his head on Frank's soft shoulder.
"We'll be okay..Right Gee?" He heard Frank mumble, half way to sleep.
"Don't worry baby. It'll be fine."
Frank had been so strong through the sudden rush of action, holding tight. Gerard knew if it was him,he wouldn't have been able to hide it all, to plaster a smile and call it okay.
"Your amazing Frank." He whispered, before placing a kiss on the boys cheek.
Frank jolted up.
"Did you hear that?" He swivled his head around,eyes wide.
"Frank ,I think you're just hearing stuff. Common-"
"Gee-"
Gunshots cut Frank short.
"Run!!" Gerard yelled,and grabbing Frankie's hand,headed out. Away from the gunshots.. Away from the world.
