Billie stood outside the building that held my class, waiting patiently, until he saw me.

"Hey, sweetheart," He kissed my cheek.

"Hi," I took his hand as we walked.

"Uhm, so, my friends are gonna hang out awhile after classes. You wanna come?" He asked, moving his arm so it was around me instead of hooked to my hand. It felt warm against my sweater covered, but still cold skin.

"Maybe, will you be drinking?"

"Probably..."

"Then, I dunno..."

"Right, you don't drink," He stopped talking for a moment, "Why don't you drink?"

"Because when people get drunk they think they're so cool but in reality they're making total fools of themselves! It's idiotic, no offense. And besides, I'm only nineteen, anyways."

"You're nineteen?" He asked. I nodded, "Oh..."

"Why, am I too young for you?"

"No, not at all, I'm twenty one."

"Baby, I'm a freshman, of course I'm gonna be younger."

"I know, I just forget sometimes." He smiled, kissing my cheek.

"You really like kissing me, don't you?" He nodded.

"Kissing you is my favorite thing," I giggled as he kissed my forehead, "Right next to making you blush." He smirked. He's so sweet...

"My favorite thing is running my fingers through your hair." He smiled.

"Really?" I nodded, "That's adorable." He kissed my cheek once more.

"Gerard?" I asked, eyes gazing over at my friend sat alone on a bench.

"Oh, hey... hey Y/n, Billie," He greeted. I felt Billie tense as he saw him.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm... I'm just waiting for Frank to get out of his class..."

"Why, are you two dating? Or something?"

"Billie!"

"I'm just joking! And, you get what I'm saying, he follows him around like a dog!" I could tell those words hurt.

"He is not a dog!" I pulled away from him, "Gee, I'm very sorry about him. Apparently, he was never taught how to be nice to people." Gerard smiled at this.

"Oh like you're such a perfect little miss angel face!" He said, sarcastically.

"I never said I was! Anyways, I'm sorry Gerard, I'll see you at the dorms without my boyfriend." I began to walk away, without Billie.

"What, no! Agh, this is all your fault!" I heard him say before catching up to me.

"Y/n, baby, I was just joking around. C'mon..." He walked beside me. Then I stopped, eyes on him.

"He doesn't know that. Gerard's sensitive. How have you not realized this?"

"Sensitive? So he is gay!" My jaw dropped. What the fuck!? That's awful in so many ways!

"I'm done talking to you." I began to walk away.

"Babe, I'm sorry, I'm only joking." He jumped in front of me.

"Well it's not funny! It's mean, boys are allowed to feel feelings. Don't you?" He shrugged.

"Uh, I dunno, sometimes..." I began walking again, "Wait, please, I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes before turning back towards him.

"Quit being mean to my friends. You're always so cruel towards them, they don't deserve that."

"Okay, I'll try..." I turned back around, he jumped in front of me again, "Okay, okay, I'll be nicer to your friends!"

"Is that a promise?" He looked to the ground and sighed. Then nodded, "Thank you, I'll see ya later."

I kissed his cheek, and walked away. Frank and Gerard stood just a few feet away, eyes wide on me. Frank then whispered something to Gerard, his cheeks then went pink. Aww...

"Hey Y/n," Frank greeted. I smiled, "What was that about?"

"Nothing, just, Billie being an ass."

"Does he do that often?"

"Sometimes, but I'm trying to get him to stop. He's really mean to you guys." My gaze went to Gerard, his went to the ground.

"Why's that?" He asked as we walked inside, Gerard followed close behind.

"Just cause you happen to be younger than him. He thinks he's so funny, but he just... he's such an ass sometimes..." I felt tears sprinkle my eyes, but I held them back, "You guys don't deserve that. You're so nice..."

"Aw, thanks, well, I'll talk to you later. See ya." He waved, I waved as Gerard and I stood outside our door.

"I'm sorry about Billie, again," I said, opening the door as we walked in, "It breaks my heart to see him act like that towards you guys."

"Oh, it's... it's alright..." He said, sitting on his bed. He is so cute... ahh! Not again! Stop...

"Gerard?"

"Yeah?" His gaze went to mine, his eyes... I'm doing it again! Ugh... what was I gonna say again?

"Uhm... never mind..." He sent a strange look my way, but didn't say anything. Gerard... I wanna kiss- ...this is getting out of hand...

I flopped backwards into bed, staring at the ceiling. Oh yeah...

"Gee?"

"Yeah?" He looked back up.

"Are you dressing up for Halloween?"

"Of course..."

"What are you going as?"

"Batman..." I smiled.

"Cool, I'm going as Princess Leia, Annie's going as Luke." He smiled.

"Wait... really?" I nodded, "I... I didn't think you were into... into Star Wars..."

"I'm not the biggest fan or anything, but I grew up watching them with Annie. Y'know, Billie hasn't seen a single Star Wars movie!? Not one!"

"How?"

"Dunno! So, on Friday I was thinking about watching the first one with him. I was wondering if maybe you and Frank wanted to come along? Annie will probably be there." His eyes lit up.

"Really? I'd... I'd love to!" He smiled wide, then it quickly faded, "Wait, but Billie will be there. Will he mind?"

"Probably, but you're my friends. He's gotta be okay with you at some point."

"Okay... I'll tell Frank..." My gaze went back to the ceiling.

His smile... it's so cute... I just can't help it... whatever 'it' is... no matter how hard I try, it's still here... why? I'm so confused... I thought I liked Billie, I do like Billie! But, Gerard...

Gazing back over at him, he bit his lip as he made scratching sounds along the sketch page with his pencil. Adorable...

"What are you drawing?" He looked to me, then looked back down.

"Uhm... nothing..."

"Gee, we've already done this. I'm not gonna make fun of you."

"I know, but, it's... it's not finished." I sat up.

"Not finished? Gerard..."

"I'll... I'll show you later..."

"Okay..." I laid back down, eyes on the ceiling, "Gerard?" He looked up, "I'm happy you became my dorm mate. You're really sweet."

"Sweet?" He seemed caught off guard, blushing and flustered, "Thank... thank you..." there's so much more I want to say... but so much holding me back... oh, Gerard...
