Frank's father, who had yet to actually meet me, lent us his car for Frank and I to go to the hospital in. Damn, his dad is cool!
In the waiting room, strangely empty for once (don't even ask - I have a tendency to get into emergency-room situations when I don't get along with my cousins), Frank and I just talked. Actually, we talked between long silences. They weren't awkward though - we really didn't need to talk. Kind of sweet that way.
"Gerard, I'm sorry." Frank said, tugging softly on the strings of my hoodie.
While we were waiting, Frank, the little child, had shifted endlessly until he had finally, for now, found a spot he was comfortable with. His head was nuzzled into the crook of my neck, with his left arm looped around my right, with his left hand playing with his or my clothing occasionally.
"Frank, it's fine... I'm really tired; can't we just go home--?"
"No! You need stitches, you moron, sit back down!" Frank tugged me by my sleeve back down on the uncomfortable chair.
"God, I hate hospitals." I muttered. Frank cooed slightly, whispering an "aw", kissing my cheek gently.
"Gerard Way." I looked up at a nurse standing in front of us. I nodded and stood up, Frank following.
When we got into an actual room, we still had to wait a few minutes for a doctor. When we got one, she broke the silence.
"So, Gerard, how'd you get cut that deep?" She asked, sterilizing a gauze sponge.
"Uh... Got into a fight." I mumbled.
She turned to us and looked between Frank and me. "Did you do that to the poor thing?" She asked Frank. His jaw dropped in silence; shocked. "I'm kidding, sweetheart. You don't look like you'd hit your boyfriend." She said, smiling warmly. Frank blushed.
"Not much of a talker, is he?" She said to me as she cleaned my gash. I chuckled. He isn't, but you sure are.
"Gerard, you'll need to tell me. If it's something of a certain material; I'll have to take a look and see if any pieces are still in there." She explained. I hissed at the alcohol she was dabbing.
"A piece of plastic from a broken phone." I said softly. Frank looked at me. I looked back at me, smiling at him reassuringly. Then, I looked back at the doctor.
"Ouch. Honey, you better be careful. A pretty face like yours is a treasure." She smiled at me as she spoke.
She went back to a counter and took out a kit that I saw a hooked needle and thread come out of. I found Frank's hand and squeezed.
As she walked back, she paused and tilted her head.
"Gerard, I know I might be stepping out of line, but if ... this wasn't just a fight... You could find help for it, you know?" She said. I bit my lip.
"Thank you." My whisper was barely audible.
"And don't worry about the black eye; it's fading already." She said, touching my temple gingerly. I smiled tightly; trying to keep in my tears.
I tasted blood in my mouth and I didn't even know from where.
"I'm going to start now..."
I squeezed Frank's hand until I heard a whimper come out of him.


"Gerard, do you want to file a report?" Frank asked when we got to the car.
"No." I said, putting on my seat belt.
"B- ... Okay." I smiled to myself when Frank stopped. I really did just want to be in silence for a little while.
When we got back to the house, I laid down in the bedroom.
After a few minutes, Frank climbed onto the bed. He delicately caressed my cheek with his thumb, right underneath the stitches.
"I look horrible, don't I?" I mumbled, my eyes still closed.
"You have the right to; you've gone through hell." Frank said softly. I smiled to myself.
"You're supposed to say 'no, Gerard, you look so beautiful, I love you'." I said, tilting my head into Frank's touch.
"I'll be sure to do that next time." I could hear the grin in his voice. After a few seconds, Frank whispered, "Go to sleep... You need it."
