Gerard's pov

"... Y/n told me that her and Annie are going as Luke and Leia for Halloween." I said to Frank as we sat around his dorm.

"Annie told me about that. Is Billie dressing up as someone from it too? Or...?" I shook my head.

"Probably not, he's never seen a Star Wars movie." Frank's eyes went wide.

"Dude, what are you going as for Halloween again?"

"Batman!"

"Seriously!? Don't you see it!?" I shrugged, confused, "Dude, Y/n's going as Princess Leia and Billie isn't going as Han Solo."

"Yeah, so?"

"So, you gotta go as Han."

"What!? But I wanna be Batman!"

"Gerard, you gotta trust me on this one. Be the Han to her Leia!" Oh... now I see...

"But I already told Y/n I'm going as-"

"Don't say Batman. You're Han Solo now. And you went as Batman two years ago or something."

"I guess..."

"Look, do you wanna get the girl or not?"

"Yeah, I wanna get her."

"This is the way! You've got to be Han Solo!"

"Okay, but I don't have a Han Solo costume."

"We'll get you one! It's gonna be perfect, trust me."

"Alright, I'll do it." I guess I'm going as Han now...

"You don't got anymore classes today, do ya?" I shook my head, "Good, let's go get you a Han Solo costume!"

Doo dee doo time skip doo dee doo

"Do you really think Y/n'll like this?" I asked Frank, standing in line at the costume store.

"Of course she will. But, I wouldn't say anything to her about it." I sent a strange look.

"Why not?"

"It'll be better if it's kept a surprise."

"A surprise? Are you sure?"

"Very sure." Frank has had more girlfriends than I have... he probably has a better idea of how to get her than I do...

"Thanks Frankie," I said, "You're a good friend."

He smiled and was about to answer, but we had made it to the counter. There was a quick exchange with the cashier before we left.

Back at Frank's dorm, Ray was now there. He seemed uninterested in what was going on between us. That was, until I pulled out my costume.

"Woah, is that a Han Solo costume!?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's my Halloween costume." I explained.

"Cool..."

"Are you going as anything?"

"Of course!" He chuckled, "Patrick and I are going as wizards from our dnd campaign."

"Really!? That's so cool..." I said.

"When are we supposed to go?" Frank asked, referring to the Star Wars movie night.

"Shit, I think soon..."

"Let's go then, I'm sure Annie's already there."

"Bye Ray," I waved, he waved back. We then began our short walk, out towards Billie's.

"Frank?" He looked to me, "Do you really think I'll end up with Y/n?" He smiled, then chuckled, "What?"

"You're kidding, right?" I shook my head, "Of course you will! Billie's a dick, and I think Y/n's slowly beginning to see that."

"Think so?"

"I know so," He reassured as we walked through the front door, but were met with something quite unexpected. Annabelle and Y/n were jumping around on the couch with pvc pipes, holding them like lightsabers. Frank and I just stood silent, watching them.

"It's over, Anakin! I have the high ground!" Annabelle cried.

"Should we say something?" I whispered to Frank.

"No, we should let them finish." He held a smirk on his face.

"You underestimate my power!"

"Don't try it!" Y/n then jumped up onto the couch where Annie dramatically hit at her legs. She dramatically fell to the floor, clutching the edge of the couch cushion, "You're the chosen one! It was said that you'd destroy the sith, not join them! You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!"

"I hate you!" Y/n cried, very dramatically. This is hilarious...

"You were my brother, Anakin! I loved y-" Quietly, I began to laugh. I couldn't help myself. They both gazed over, then dropped their 'lightsabers'.

"Oh hey guys, I didn't see you come in." Y/n said, walking towards us.

"Clearly..." Frank snickered.

"Billie's in the kitchen making popcorn. He should be out in a minute." She smiled, so cute...

"Hey guys," He greeted, wrapping an arm around Y/n. We waved, then she stepped away with Annabelle. Billie immediately turned our way.

"Look, ya little shits, I'm on thin fucking ice with her right now. Don't fuck this night up for me or else I'll turn your ass' into hats," He snarled, then turned to me, "Especially, you, don't look at her, don't talk to her, don't touch her, and don't even think about her. I'll be on your ass in seconds."

"Billie! Come sit with me!"

"Coming, babe," He turned back to us, "Don't fuck this up for me." He growled, then went back to a smile, sitting with Y/n.

"Frank, I... I dunno about this..."

"Dude, it's gonna be fine. If you 'fuck it up' you beat him up before, how hard could it be to take him on again?"

"Yeah, but I had Mikey there, too."

"Frankie..." Annabelle called.

"Just calm down, you'll be alright. I'll be here the whole time. Let's go." We both sat on the couch, I sat in the middle as the two couples sat just feet away from me on each side. Geez... I feel like a third wheel... or a fifth wheel...

Glancing over at Y/n as the previews started, Billie sent a glare. Without warning, he kissed Y/n up and down, tickling her at the same time.

"Agh! Billie, stop, ah!" She laughed, falling back on the couch cushion. He kissed her a bit more, so I turned away. My heart broke into pieces. She's so amazing... of course I'll never end up with her... I'm a mess...

The movie finally began, the all too iconic line showing up on screen.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Smiling, the opening music began, and I almost forgot about Billie and Y/n entirely. That is, until he began messing with her again.

"Billie! Stop, I wanna watch the movie! Please!" She sounded more serious this time, when he stopped, she even retreated to the floor. I did the same. A blanket lay just a few feet away, which I wrapped around myself. My eyes were glued to the screen, so were hers. For everyone else, not so much.

Just a few minutes in, I took a quick look back at Frank. Him and Annabelle had disappeared completely. Billie lay on his side, pillow in his arms. He seems bored...

Then, I looked to Y/n. Her mouth hung half open as her wide eyes stared at the screen. I smiled to myself at this. Oh Y/n... so damn adorable...

"Oh, I love this part!" She cried, my gaze went back to the movie, "Little kid Anakin is adorable..." As the scene played, my eyes wandered back towards her. I couldn't help myself.

"Are you an angel?" Anakin asked Padmé.

"What?" Padmé asks.

"An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego, I think. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirates cry." He explained.

"I've never heard of angels." She says.

"You must be one... maybe you just don't know it."

Throughout the whole scene, my eyes were fixated on the pretty girl next to me.

I think Y/n's an angel then... she's good and kind, and so pretty... oh, I love her... wait... I love her!? No... that can't be right! How can I love her!? It's just a crush... it's stupid... just a little crush... no it's not... oh, Y/n... it's so much more...

Billie began to get up behind us, quickly, I averted my gaze back to the movie. He bent down towards Y/n.

"Sweetheart, I'm heading to bed. Don't stay up too late." He kissed her cheek, but his words seemed to have gone through one ear and right out the other.

"Okay... goodnight..."

"Night'," He then turned to me, and sent a look, "Night', Gerard..." My eyes went wide, terrified as he walked off. Oh... we're the only two here... oh...

Suddenly, she began to shiver, and scoot closer towards me. Then, she sent a look.

"Could I...?" I nodded, opening up the blanket, so she sat closer, wrapping herself in the warm fabric. She's so close... so warm...

I embraced every second of it. A blush came over my cheeks, but she didn't notice. Her head then rested on my shoulder. My heart raced fast as my palms began to shake just slightly. Oh...

After awhile, the movie ended, but she, she had fallen asleep. Peacefully, she slept slightly leaning on me. This... this feels so nice... she's warm... I wanna kiss her so bad... not going to, but I want to...

Within minutes, I had passed out beside her. Soundly we slept through the night. Happy dreams fled my mind on this chilly autumn night.
