I sighed as I got home, tossing my hat onto the coffee table. I immediately noticed the empty house and my heart stopped for a moment as I looked around. Gee's been staying with me for two weeks now and so far it's been great, I loved having him here.

"Gee?" I called but heard nothing. "Jamia?"

The front door opened and I sighed in relief when I saw them walk in with shopping bags in their hands.

"Woah, what's all this?" I asked.

"Jamia buyed me clothes and toys," Gee said.

He went back to the bedroom and I frowned.

"Fuck," I mumbled. "I can pay you back, how much was it?"

"Don't worry about it," Jamia said.

"No, you shouldn't have to pay for all of this," I said. "Let me pay you, please, I got paid today so I can--"

"Seriously, Frank," she interrupted. "You don't need to pay me back, you know I would do anything to help you."

I nodded my head, giving her a hug.

"You should stay, the guys are coming over for band practice," I said.

"Really? It's been awhile since you've practiced together," she said.

"Yeah, I'd love for you to stay," I said. "And I'm sure that Gee would love having you here too."

Jamia smiled and nodded her head.

"I'm just glad it's friday," I mumbled. "I feel like I've just been working non-stop, I didn't realize how hard it would be trying to work and take care of Gee at the same time."

Jamia chuckled, sitting down on the couch.

"Seriously though," I continued, sitting beside her. "I don't know what I would do without you."

Jamia blushed softly as she looked down. The doorbell rang and I heard a frightful squeak from the bedroom. I opened the door and let in Evan and Matt.

"Where's Alex?" I asked.

"He said he'd be here in a minute," Evan said. "Who's that?"

I looked behind me and saw Gee peeking around the corner nervously. I held out my hand and he hurried over to wrap his arms around me as he looked up at them. He let out a whimper and buried his face into my chest.

"This is Gee," I said. "Gee, these are my friends, Evan and Matt, and I'm going to have another friend coming named Evan."

"Hi, Gee," Matt said but still looked confused.

Gee just let out a whimper and held me tighter.

"Alright, let's go out to the garage," I said. "Everything is already set up."

I tried to walk to the garage but Gee wouldn't let go. Finally I sighed and just picked him up, letting him wrap his legs around my waist. He buried his face into the crook of my neck as I walked into the garage. Thankfully he was so light it was easy to carry him.

"Gee, you're gonna have to get down," I said.

Gee whimpered and shook his head.

"Hey, sweetheart, do you wanna go play in the bedroom?" Jamia asked.

Gee nodded and Jamia took him back into the bedroom. I sighed, picking up my guitar.

"So who is that?" Evan asked.

"That's Gee," I said. "I found him in the woods and it turns out that he's a kidnapping victim. They can't find his family and he has the mental state of a child and I offered to let him stay here with me until they find his family."

"Jesus, you've really gotten yourself into weird shit this time," Matt muttered.

I chuckled, plugging in my guitar.

"He's actually just really sweet," I said. "They're looking everywhere for his family."

"How long has he been here?" Evan asked.

"Two weeks," I said. "He's probably gonna be staying here for a little while."

"Are you okay with him staying here?" Evan asked.

"Yeah, I am," I said. "He's really odd but also really sweet."

I tuned my guitar and smiled when the door opened and Alex walked in.

"Frankie," Gee said as he walked in, tugging on my sleeve, "Can we go cuddle?"

"Gee, I can cuddle with you later," I said.

"B-but I wanna cuddle now," he whimpered.

"I know you do," I said. "And I promise that we will cuddle soon, alright?"

Gee pouted and shook his head.

"Gee, I promise after they leave we can go cuddle," I said.

Gee's eyes watered and he was silent for a moment before he burst into tears. I set my guitar down and wrapped my arms around him.

"Please don't cry," I whispered.

Gee sobbed, clinging onto my shirt.

"Hey, Gee, watch this," Evan said.

He strummed his guitar and Gee quieted down, sniffling as he looked over at him. Gee took a few steps forward and looked at his guitar.

"What is this?" He asked.

"It's a guitar," Evan said.

Gee sniffled quietly, wiping his eyes as he watched him play. Jamia and Gee sat on the couch watching us practice.

"Also, I want I have a little surprise for you," Jamia said. "As your band manager I got you the best deal ever."

"Please tell me it's not some shitty show again," Evan mumbled.

"What's shitty?" Gee asked.

"Oh, Gee, don't say that, that's a big boy word," I said. "Anyways, what's the surprise?"

"I got you a meeting with a record label that's interested in you," Jamia said.

"Are you serious?" I asked. "We're gonna get signed?"

"They want a thumbnail drive of a few tracks and they want us at the office on Monday morning," Jamia said.

"All of us?" I asked. "Who's going to watch Gee?"

"I'm sure he'll be able to stay home alone for an hour," Jamia said. "He'll be fine if just stuck down with his toys and a couple of snacks."

I nodded my head and set my guitar down. Gee sucked on his thumb as he looked up at me.

"How much do you think they're willing to sign us?" Evan asked.

"I think the chances are pretty good," Jamia said. "And then soon you're gonna be selling albums until you're drowning in money and going on world tours."

"That's amazing, Mia, thank you so much," I said, giving her a hug. "You're the best person in the whole world."

"This is amazing," Alex said. "We can finally try to make it as a famous band!"

"Beer to celebrate?" Evan asked.

"Yeah, I've got some in my fridge," I said.

We all grabbed beers and soon we were sitting around the garage with music playing in the background as we talked. Gee crawled into my lap, hugging Sebastian tight.

"And I think scheduling a show soon would be great," Jamia said. "I'll try to schedule something for next weekend, how does that sound?"

We all agreed and Gee nuzzled against me, picking up my arms to wrap them around him.

"It has to be somewhere close," I said. "I don't want Gee alone that late at night for so long, maybe he can hang out with you at the show?"

Jamia smiled and nodded. "The two of us will have so much fun together watching you perform."

I looked down and smiled softly when I saw Gee sleeping peacefully in my arms. I set my beer down onto the coffee table and picked him up, carrying him into the bedroom. I sighed quietly when I saw bags and clothes strewn around the room where Gee must've thrown them around. I set him down onto the bed, trying to get him undressed as he whined unhappily. I got him into his pajamas and tucked him into the bed before heading back out to the garage.

"Gee seems to really like you," Matt remarked.

"Well, I did kind of save him, I'm sure he would like me," I said.

"Yeah, but maybe he likes you more than you think," he said.

I rolled my eyes. "He's only known me for two weeks. Besides, he has the mentality of a five year old, he doesn't know what liking someone that way is."

"Anyways," Jamia said, "You guys have to make sure that you're ready for the meeting. You four need to woo them and get signed. I'll be there too but as your manager I can only do so much so you need to convince them to sign you onto their record label."

Matt nodded and looked at his watch.

"I should get going," he said.

"Me too," Evan agreed as he stood up.

"I can help you with your drumset," Alex offered.

The three of them left and soon I was just left alone with Jamia and beer.

"Thanks for the meeting, you're really helping my dream come true," I said. "If I had never met you then I would still just be some lonely guy working at McDonald's while playing guitar in front of my mirror while pretending to be famous like a teenage boy."

Jamia smiled, reaching over to hold my hand.

"Seriously, I couldn't imagine ever doing anything better with my life," she said.

"Do you wanna go put on a movie?" I asked. "We can watch Friday the 13th."

"You know that's my favorite movie," Jamia said.

I smiled and we went inside. She put on the movie for us while I grabbed some popcorn and more beer. We curled up under a blanket and Jamia smiled over at me, resting her head on my shoulder as the movie started. I smiled, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. She fell asleep halfway through the movie and I smiled down at her.

I laid her down on the couch, pulling a blanket over her. I turned off the tv and cleaned everything up before I shut off the lights and went back to the bedroom. I pulled on some pajama pants and a t-shirt before I crawled into bed beside Gee. I've given up trying to get him to sleep on the couch, he only wants to sleep in my bed with me.

"Cuddles time," Gee mumbled sleepily.

Gee curled up to me, his head resting on my chest as we both fell asleep together.
