I ever write Frank when I'm supposed to write Gerard or vice versa just ignore it

~~

I whimpered as Gerard handed me the phone.

"B-but I don't wanna hurt his feelings," I whimpered.

He raised his eyebrows and I dialed the number sadly and put it on speaker.

"Hey, baby, what's up?" Dallon asked.

I whimpered at looked at Gerard, who wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my cheek.

"I-I don't think we can see each other anymore," I whispered.

"Is this because of your asshole of a brother?" He asked.

"You're the fucking asshole," Gerard spat. "You treat Frankie like absolute shit. I bet you took his virginity in some fucking alley next to a dumpster."

"Um, fuck you, it was in the front seat of my car," Dallon said and Gerard scoffed. "Is that what's wrong, Frankie? Do you want rose petals and candles? Because I can do that if you fucking want to."

I sniffled, burying my face into Gerard's shoulder.

"He's not gonna be seeing you again," Gerard stated.

"Fine, whatever," he said.

The line went dead and I cried as he rubbed my back.

"Hey, Button, it's okay, don't cry," Gerard whispered.

"He didn't love me," I cried. "B-but I had my first time with him, it was supposed to be special with someone I love."

"Baby boy, it's okay," he muttered. "Because you know what, he's gone now and you won't have to put up with him or his friends ever again. You'll be safe in my arms where I will love you and protect you."

His arms wrapped around me and he showered my face in kisses. Gerard wiped away my tears and smiled, kissing my forehead and I gave him a weak smile.

"There we go," he mumbled. "My precious little Button."

I blushed and Gerard kept rubbing my back gently. If it were Dallon, his hand would've been far lower by now.

"Now, we've gotta go to another one of those shitty charity events again tonight," Gerard said. "Do you think you're up to it? I can tell mom that you're not feeling well so she'll probably let us stay home so you can get better before our trip and I can take care of you."

"No, it's okay," I said quietly.

I sniffled and he kissed my forehead.

"You're better off without him," Gerard said. "You have me now."

"Yeah," I mumbled.

I was glad to have Gerard now but I didn't wanna hurt Dallon's feelings. I hate being mean, after watching Gerard get bullied a lot in high school I don't like making anyone sad like how sad they made Gerard.

"Alright, Button, now do you wanna cuddle up and watch cartoons until we have to get ready to leave?" He suggested.

I nodded and Gerard carried me to the couch. I curled up in his lap and I smiled. Gerard turned on some cartoons and I smiled happily. We watched for a while and Gerard got me snacks until we eventually had to get ready. I put on a pretty pink dress and Gerard just wore black jeans and a black button up.

We got into the car and drove somewhere. It was in a different building this time and I gasped when I looked out the window and saw pens full of puppies all of the grass. I shrieked happily and my mom laughed.

"Yes, Frankie, this charity is for dogs," she said.

As soon as we were parked, I ran out to the puppies and Gerard chased after me.

"Hi, there!" I cheered. "Look it, Gerard! Pretty puppies!"

He smiled as I kneeled down and pet them. I looked at a nearby table and walked over. There was a big, clear box with a little slot at the top and it was halfway filled with money. There was a sign that said 'donate to save the puppies!' on the front.

"Gerard!" I exclaimed, tugging on his arm. "We gotta save the puppies!"

He smiled, putting five dollars into the box.

"We're from the animal shelter a few towns over," the girl at the desk said.

She looked to be about my age, maybe a year younger. She had dark brown hair and pretty green eyes. She was a little bit short than me too, which I was glad for, I'm not usually taller than people. Her red and white name tag said 'Hi! My name is Clarissa!"'.

"All these dogs are up for adoption," Clarissa said.

My eyes widened as I looked up at Gerard pleadingly.

"It's not my decision, it's mom's," he said.

"Mama!" I called, seeing her standing nearby with Mikey and Mikey's friend, Ray.

She walked over and I gave her a hug.

"Mommy, can we pwetty pwease get a puppy?" I begged.

"Sweetheart, we're going on vacation in less than a week, we can't get a puppy right now," she said. "Maybe after."

"But Bela's already gonna be adopted by the time we get back!" I exclaimed.

"Who's Bela?" My mom asked.

I pointed to the little golden retriever that I had been petting.

"You already have a name for her?" Gerard asked.

I nodded and he laughed.

"Donna!" Someone called.

My mom walked off and my eyes filled with tears. I kneeled beside Bela and she licked my face happily.

"You know," Clarissa started, "We can do this thing where, in a way, it's kinda like putting a dog on hold. We can write your name down and the puppy won't be adopted and when you come back from your trip you can choose whether or not you wanna adopt her then."

I gasped and stood up. She smiled, grabbing a piece of paper and a pen.

"What's your phone number?" She asked.

Gerard recited our home phone number and she copied it down.

"And your name?" She asked.

"Frank Iero," I stated.

Clarissa's head snapped up as she looked at me with wide eyes.

"Y-you're name is Frank Iero?" She stuttered.

I nodded, feeling a bit worried that she reacted that way. Gerard wrapped an arm around my waist protectively and I could tell that he felt just as nervous too.

"O-okay," she mumbled. "Um, take this business card."

She handed us a business card but she just kept staring at me. I whimpered quietly and walked away with Gerard.

"She scared me," I said quietly.

"Yeah, me too," he agreed.

"Why'd she care so much that my name was Frank Iero?" I asked. "It's just my name."

"I don't know," Gerard said. "Here, let's go get some food."

This event was almost entirely outside. People were talking and laughing and looking at the little puppies. I pouted when I saw some little girl looking at Bela. I saw Clarissa talking on the phone and she kept looking at me every now and then.

I pulled Gerard around the side of the building where no one was. I didn't want her to keep looking at me, it scared me.

"Why are we back here, Button?" Gerard asked.

"Want kissies," I pouted.

Gerard smiled putting his hands on my hips. He backed me up against the wall gently and pressed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled. He kissed me softly and I loved how sweet he always was with me.

I expected to be more sad about Dallon, he was my first boyfriend, after all. But I'm not really that sad and I don't know why. Maybe because Dallon was a nice a lot but he could also be a meanie-head sometimes. I was mostly just sad about hurting his feelings.

"I love you, Button," he whispered.

"I love you too, Gerard," I said.

He smiled, resting his forehead against mine.

"You're so beautiful," he said.

I giggled and blushed, kissing the tip of his nose. He kissed my cheek and I smiled happily.

"Do you think mom will let me get Bela?" I asked.

"I think so," he said. "We were actually gonna get a dog when we were younger but you came along and mom was worried that a dog might scare you so we didn't get one. She does like dogs so I don't think she'd have a problem with it at all."

"And then Bela can sleep at the end of our bed and we can get her a pretty pink leash," I said. "And she'll be the best dog in the entire world."

Gerard laughed. "You're the cutest little boy in the world."

I giggled happily and he held my hand.

"Come on, you want some food now?" He asked.

"Ice cream?" I asked hopefully.

That was the good thing about these charity events, they almost always had ice cream. Plus, all the money used to purchase food goes to the charity which is good because then that means us buying ice cream helps the puppies and nothing is better than helping puppies.

"Yeah, baby boy, let's go," Gerard said.

He held my hand and we went around the building to where the ice cream stand was. I smiled happily, ordering chocolate ice cream. Gerard got his own ice cream and we sat on a bench together. I ate happily, smiling as I watched everyone.

Some people looked like business men that probably worked with my mom. There were kids who were running around playing and petting all the dogs. I liked events like this that weren't so serious. They were fun and actually slightly enjoyable.

"What are we gonna do when we get to California?" I asked.

"I don't know, I guess we'll find out," Gerard said. "It'll take about three days to drive there, including resting."

I pouted and he smiled, running his hand through my hair.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you company," he said. "But anyways, we're only gonna actually be in California for like a week. We can go to the beach and go shopping or...I don't know, we can look up things to do."

I smiled and nodded. We continued eating our ice cream as he reached over to hold my hand. I looked over at the people who were looking at the puppies, then I glanced at Clarissa. Her head turned away quickly and I could tell she had been watching me.
