Nameless

I was really confused when I heard the door open and close. Gerard peeked his head around the wall.

"Sugar you might wanna put some clothes on."

"Why?"

I was still sleepy. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"We have a guest. Long story."

"Alright. Gerard stepped back out into the hall. I put clothes on and brushed my hair. opened the door to see Frank and Gerard standing there in the hall.

"Frank? What are you doing here? I mean, I didn't mean it like that."

"My night went to shit and Gerard invited me. I'm sorry if you were sleeping. I brought you a coffee to make it up to you."

"That's so sweet! It's ok, I'm glad to see you."

I took the coffee, even though I knew I wouldn't drink it. I could at least pretend. I sat on the bed. Frank sat next to me. Gerard stretched out on the floor.

"So what's going on? You ok?"

"Wanna fill her in, Gerard?"

"Frank's bandmates kicked him out of the band, and in turn, his apartment."

Frank seemed so sweet, why would they do that? Their show was perfect...what could have happened between then and now?

"Why?"

"They found out he's bisexual," Gerard sighed.

"Well that's ridiculous. I'm sorry, Frank."

"It's ok. I'll figure something out."

He looked so sad, like he could cry at any moment.

"How long were you in the band?"

"Nearly ten years."

"Wow! Wait, they didn't know you were bisexual? After ten years?"

"I hid it well, to be honest."

"How'd they find out?"

Frank suddenly became very interested in the tattoos on his hands. I looked at Gerard.

"They saw him kiss a guy" Gerard sighed.

"Oh, that's all? That's nothing. What a bunch of assholes! You need new friends, dude."

I took his hand and held it. He seemed so comfortable. It was refreshing. Gerard looked nervous.

"So who'd you kiss, Frank? Was he cute?"

"Yeah, he was really cute."

I looked at Gerard and laughed. He looked mortified.

"Gerard what's wrong? You look like you're about to pass out. You're not weirded out hearing about guys kissing, are you?"

I laughed. No one else did. I looked from Gerard to Frank, and back to Gerard.

"Gerard...were you the one kissing Frank?"

He was shaking.

"I uh..."
