Just Friends (Frerard+LynZ)

"Shit!"
Gerard groaned as he rubbed his elbow, picking himself up off the floor, which was strewn with clothes and comic books. Looking around, he identified a phone charger as the cause of his fall. Fuck, he really needed to tidy his room. The pyjama-clad boy waded his way through the clutter towards his wardrobe. Despite the somewhat unhealthy amount of clothes on his floor, Gerard had a wardrobe full of more. Well, most of it was jackets, considering he was a self-confessed jacket slut.
After rummaging around for a while, Gerard finally settled on a grey t-shirt with David Bowie on and blue jeans. He supposed that he didn't really need to look impressive - but his hair did need to look presentable. He stumbled towards his mirror, trying to avoid falling again. Although his hair was long, Gerard only needed to run his fingers through it several times to turn the unruly mess into a neat shape.
His phone buzzed.
'Are you almost here yet, babe? x'
Gerard grinned at the message from his girlfriend, but his expression was soon replaced with a grimace as he realised that he hadn't even left the house yet.
'Yeah, I'm literally a few minutes away, see you soon!!! <3'
Boy, was he going to have to run fast.

Several minutes later, a panting Gerard stopped running to lean against a coffee shop window. He had been meeting Lindsey here for the past few years. The pair had had their first date at the same place, and it soon turned into tradition to have a coffee date weekly. After composing himself (and ensuring that he wasn't still bright red from the unwelcome excercise), Gerard pushed open the door to be greeted with a smiling Lindsey Ballato, who was already clutching a drink. She stood up to hug her boyfriend, kissing him on the cheek.
"You look exhausted," Lindsey exclaimed, her red, lipstick covered lips curling into a smile.
"Considering the amount of stairs in my apartment building, I'm hardly surprised!" Gerard breathed. "Now I really need a fucking coffee."
Gerard slid out of their booth, his hand grazing his girlfriend's knee as he passed her, and headed towards the counter. Lindsey admired him as he stood waiting: his slightly shaggy black hair; pointed noise that scrunched up adorably when he laughed; his slender hands that allowed him to draw as well as he did. Every little thing about him was so perfect and God, she loved him.
Lindsey's swooning was interrupted by her ringtone. She fished the phone from her bag to discover that her friend, Jessicka was calling her. Usually, she would pick up, but Jessicka had been unnervingly clingy towards Lindsey recently, and she needed a break from her best friend. Lindsey let it ring.
"Fucking finally!" Gerard had returned, this time with a cup of coffee. He gulped it with a sense of desperation.
Once half of Gerard's drink had gone, he set it down on the table.
"What kind of coffee did you get?" he asked his girlfriend. "Black?"
"Just like my metal," Lindsey said, causing the two to giggle.
They spent the rest of their date cracking stupid jokes and admiring each
other in a somewhat cliché manner. Their fun, however, was interrupted by Lindsey's phone ringing. One glance at the sreen and she immediatley started to stand up.
"I'm sorry, Gee, I've just gotta take this call, okay?" she said apolagetically.
"What the fuck do you want, James?" Lindsey yelled as she finally got outside.
"How many times have I told you, Lindsey? Call me Jimmy, we're friends, dude!" the voice from her phone replied.
"I will call you whatever the fuck I want to call you; now why are you calling me? I'm on a date!"
"With Gerard? Oh, you guys are so cute together!" Jimmy cooed down the phone. "Anyway, I know that you're running low on Xanax and cocaine, and I just got a whole bunch in. You wanna come over?"
Lindsey sighed. Although she did have what could be summed up as a soccer mom taste in drugs, her dealer was right. She'd been craving a high for the past few days, and didn't how long she could last without going into withdrawl or something.
"I'll be there as soon as I'm finished with Gerard."
