Pairing: Frank/Gerard

Summary: It's New Year's Eve and Frank has to kiss someone at midnight, but he can't find Gerard.
Disclaimer: I own no one.
A/N: I hate New Year's, but I wanted to get one last fic written before 2007. I guess that means I'm posting this late, but whatever.
What the hell? was your first thought when you received Mikey and Alicia's New Year's masquerade party invitation in the mail two weeks ago. Now, as you look through the eyes of a plastic lion mask, that has changed to, What the fuck?
There's only two minutes left of 2006, and according to Alicia's friend Susan, you have to find someone to kiss. And try to avoid her at the same time because you're pretty sure she wants to be that someone.
Forty-five seconds to go and you can't find Gerard. Fifteen minutes ago, you were sure he was the guy in the Yoda mask, but when he turned around, you were met with bright, orange hair.
Fifteen seconds to go and you give up, leaning against the wall to watch people pair up. You silently curse yourself because this is what you get for showing up at 11:30. This is the only chance you'll ever get, the only time Gerard will willingly kiss you, and you're blowing it.
Only seven more seconds and you just want to go home, curl up in bed, sleep, and maybe never wake up. You hate New Year's; you always have. It's cheesy and completely overrated.
Four seconds and someone's grabbing your arm, pulling your body up against his. He's slightly taller than you are, but that's all you can figure out with the commotion of people moving and the countdown.
"Three...two..."
He lifts your mask up enough to reveal your mouth. Your eyes are now covered and your nose is a little squished, but the main problem is that you can't even see who he is.
"One! Happy New Year!"
His mouth is pressed to yours and your lips are parting to fit with his. The kiss is short with only a hint of tongue, and when he pulls away, you're shocked and not sure you can move.
Ten seconds into the new year and you finally pull your mask off. You're standing alone at the wall, not quite sure where that guy ran off to, but you know you're not dreaming. That kiss was too good for your lousy imagination.
------
It's morning and you're sitting in a diner across from Gerard. He's been recalling events from the party last night (and this morning, technically) for the past ten minutes. You kind of want to punch him for being so annoying, but you can tell he's getting at something, so you just sip your coffee and wait for it.
"So," he says, drawing out the word, "did you kiss anyone at midnight?"
"Yeah, but I'm not sure who he was. Is that slutty?" you joke.
"No," he replies, laughing a bit. "I did, too. Some guy in a lion mask. He was a good kisser and pretty cute. I saw him walking around with the mask afterwards. Then he ditched it behind a plant. Anyway, I asked a few people about him, and he sounds like a good catch, so I might call him up and ask him to dinner. What do you think?"
"I think he'd go out with you," you say with a grin, "as long as you're paying."
"Oh, bite me," Gerard said into his coffee, but he's laughing. He looks up and takes your hand in his. "Happy New Year's, Frank."
You give his hand a light squeeze. "You, too, Gerard."

This was so cute. Plus I totally feel for Frank because I didn't know who I was going to kiss at midnight, either. But it worked out, just like it always does! =]

That was really good. I liked how it was written in second person--it was refreshing, because I don't really see it too often. Also, how it was present tense. For some reason, whenever I try to write in present tense, I always wind up reverting back to past. Yes. Forgive me, I'm sick and incoherent. x_X
I loved the ending.
And I love you.♥
