After successfully gaining the support of his brother and bandmates Gerard collected a very nervous looking Bert from the porch. When Bert saw Gerard he gave him an inquisitive look and asked “Is it safe for me to go in? Did you ask Mikey to leave my beautiful throat alone?” “Yah, after the initial shock of Brian’s shadiness and disbelief in your sincerity, they were actually okay with it. They just want me to be happy and they realized that I have been very unhappy without you.” Gerard failed to mention that it was because of the way Bert had treated him after the breakup that led to his prolonged depression…he didn’t think that’d be a good thing to say at the time. He was still in shock over how quickly the guys had given up on talking him out of getting back with Bert. It had all seemed too easy. Were they sick of his constant depressive mood and willing to do anything to cheer him up, or did they really think this was a good idea for him to get back with Bert? He had to believe it was the first one, because he had a hard time believing the guys were 100% okay with him starting this relationship again, and it made him slightly angry that they were letting him stay with Bert for selfish reasons, but at least they were letting him stay with Bert right? That’s all that really mattered.
“Gee? You still with me?”
“Huh?”
“You kinda zoned out there man, are you alright? Not having second thoughts are you,” asked Bert sounding very nervous.
“Oh sorry, I was just thinking. I’m not having second thoughts. I’m very happy to have you back. This is all I’ve wanted since we broke up actually.”
Bert chuckled softly before saying, “You’d never believe it but I have too, even though I had a funny way of showing it.”
Gerard had to laugh too before ushering his boyfriend into the house and to his bedroom. He didn’t feel like sitting with the guys and having them glare at Bert to silently let him know that they were watching him, and the first time he fucked up they’d come at him. He just wasn’t up to that yet.
“Ooooh bedroom huh? My my you do move fast don’t you?” Bert jumped onto Gerard’s bed and gave him a seductive look before saying, “You gonna teach me a lesson? Make me pay for what I did?”
“Not tonight Bert. In fact it’s gonna be awhile before there’s any lesson teaching done.” Bert looked very confused so Gerard explained, “I don’t want us to make the same mistakes we did the last go around. I want us to move slowly. It’s going to take me awhile before I fully trust you again. It’s not that I think you’re going to hurt me again, but the truth is you’ve hurt me more than almost anyone else ever has in my life. I’m not going to get over that quickly. I want to let you in and trust you again, but you have to realize that it’s going to take some time. We need to work through our problems before we take that step again.”
Bert looked close to tears. He wanted nothing more than to feel Gerard’s skin against his own and make love to him all night, to show him the ultimate gesture of love, and make him feel beautiful again. Hearing Gerard say he was going to have to wait was a hard pill to swallow. Bert knew though that Gerard was being very serious though, and as much as it was going to kill him to wait, he understood his boyfriend’s motives.
Gerard watched as Bert struggled with his own thoughts, no doubt hating the idea of waiting. Gerard knew that it was going to be hard for both of them. Gerard rather enjoyed sex. Not only was it just plain amazing, but it had always made him feel whole, like he was worth something, and that he was loved. He hadn’t slept with anyone since Frank the morning after the disastrous club outing, and before that it had been months. Gerard wasn’t the promiscuous type. It was his choosy ways that kept sex so amazing for him. If he had just gone out and slept with any person who was willing, the act would lose its magic, and its meaning. Deep down Gerard knew that he had made the right decision in telling Bert that they should wait. It was going to be tough for both parties, but in the end it would make it even more amazing when they finally went down that road again.
Bert sighed deeply before telling Gerard that even though he really hated the idea, that he understood and would do what he wished. Gerard smiled happily and moved to the bed to embrace the younger man and kiss his lips softly for a moment; this made Bert smile happily too and they both just sat there for a moment arms entwined and lost in their own thoughts.
Gerard was the first to break the silence. “Sooooo….those songs you dedicated to me…..besides the very terrible lyrics….they sounded pretty good.”
“HA,” Bert snorted. “Thanks. Yah you may not want to listen to ‘Hospital’ either.”
“Noted. So when is your new album coming out?" "They’re telling us sometime in May. It’s been pushed back so many times we don’t know anymore. I just want it to come out so we can play more of the songs on tour. There’s some beautiful stuff on there.”
“You’ll have to give me an amended version when it comes out,” Gerard chuckled.
“You’re not kidding,” Bert said. “Believe it or not, I’ve actually listened to The Black Parade. I never told anyone this before, but I loved it. It’s the best stuff you’ve ever done. The B-sides are amazing too. My favorite is ‘My Way Home is Through You’. The lyrics are genius. I’m so proud of you guys. I’m actually jealous of your talent sometimes. I cried when I heard ‘Cancer’. It’s beautiful Gerard. You really know how to pull the strings of people’s hearts.”
Gerard smiled. It was nice to hear these things from someone he respected as an artist. Yes it was nice to hear it from fans, but to hear it from someone who was in the same position of writing lyrics and music and had had great success at it was much different. It was a form of validation. “Thank you so much Bert, you don’t know how much that means to me. We knew what we were doing was special and beautiful, but sometimes when you live with something for so long, you can’t really look at it subjectively; you can’t step away from it and look at it like another person could.”
“I know what you mean man.” Bert thought back to when he was writing ‘Pretty Handsome Awkward’. At one point he had thought the lyrics were too harsh and had wanted to tone them down, but everyone else who heard it loved it they way it was, said it was powerful and raw and pushed him to keep it the way it was. In the end he’d done what everyone else wanted him to do, and had grown to love the song because of its power and anger, but sometimes he still wished he would have been able to step away from it and been able to rein it in.
The pair continued to talk for the next few hours, swapping tour stories and talking about movies and music. Gerard talked about the comic book series he was working on and Bert mentioned that The Used was releasing another DVD collection. Before either knew it, it was 1 a.m. and they were growing increasingly exhausted.
“Why don’t you just stay here tonight, instead of heading back to your place,” Gerard suggested. The Used was staying in LA finishing up some last minute CD and DVD things while My Chemical Romance was staying in LA between tours to practice and make a couple new videos, for the new UK and US singles.
“Okay,” Bert replied happily. “Do you want me to sleep on the couch?”
“No, I want to be your teddy bear for tonight!” Gerard giggled indicating that he wished for Bert to hold him all night. It’d been far too long since he’d cuddled with anyone.
“Oh now I like the sound of that,” Bert said before spooning up behind Gerard holding him close as they both drifted off to sleep.
