Frankie Cipriano

If James had been avoiding Frankie before, well, it was nothing compared to how much he was avoiding him now. Especially since he had kissed Allie, since something  was now going on between the two of them. He knew that at some point, it was a conversation he would have to have with Frankie. The last thing he wanted to do was not tell his best friend, for Frankie to hear it from someone that wasn’t James. While he was nervous to face him, he also wasn’t the kind of person to keep things from those he held close to his heart. And well, as luck would have it, James couldn’t keep avoiding him. 

It happened as he walked right into Frankie on the sidewalk, literally. He had been so lost in his thoughts, that James had been paying little attention to where he was going. Instantly he jolted backwards, sucking in a deep breath. “Oh, sorry!” Was his instant reply, a smile on his face that he hoped wasn’t too forced as he looked at his friend. “I was, uh, just, you know- thinking about things is all. And I wasn’t paying attention apparently. You alright?”

Frankie was pretty sure he was handling the ‘rejection’ well, but he knew something must’ve been going on considering James hadn’t been answering his texts. He figured he should take a hint and stop trying. He’d just finished babysitting for Monroe when he decided to stop and grab a smoothie.

On his way out of the building, he felt someone knock into him. Frankie sighed, but stopped as he looked over and noticed it was James. He gave a tight-lipped smile, glancing down as the other spoke. “Yeah.. It happens, don’t worry about it.” He lifted his head so his gaze met James’ again, “I’m doin’ good.. Can’t complain, ya know.. What about you?”

Allison smiled at him, relieved he didn’t hate her because their friendship truly meant so much to her. She never would want that to change. “I’m sorry. I care about you so much, and I tried. I just… couldn’t. You did nothing wrong, I want you to know that. Never think that, okay? We are stuck with each other no matter what, got it?” She pointed out, a small laugh escaping her as she pulled him into a hug. “You know you’re the best right? I hope I didn’t ruin anything here either.”

Frankie offered a small smile, his shoulders shrugging up before he waved her off. “It’s-.. yeah.. Don’t worry about it.” He wasn’t the most convincing, but he did mean that it was okay. “We’re stuck with each other forever, dork.” He smiled a bit easier this time, wrapping his arms around her softly. “Hey, none of that sentimental stuff.. It’s okay, Allie. Sometimes things just don’t work out.” He pulled back from the hug, “I’m not the best, but I appreciate that.”

“you look like you’re barely hanging on there,” matthew teased, trying to keep the mood light although the other was clearly not having the best of days. “don’t worry,, your heart rate will recover and the rest of your body will thank you for it. speaking from experience. i’m still here after endless pots of coffee,” he said with a chuckle, although the memory of a racing heart was definitely not the most pleasant one he could think of. matthew got up quickly to pick up his own coffee and muffin and set everything down on the table next to frankie. “you want a bite? the sugar helps,” he offered, pushing the plate with the muffin towards the other man. “ah, how lovely it is to have inconsiderate neighbors. mate, you definitely need more coffee than that to get your energy up, just saying.”

“Oh, trust me, I don’t even know how I’m functioning.” He laughed lightly, “I might have to take your advice there.. If that’s the way I go.. I mean.. It’s a good way to go.” He took a few large sips of his coffee, his eyes lighting up as the man pushed the muffin towards him. “That’s so nice! Wow, thank you!” He plucked a piece off, pushing the plate back as he took a bite. “I need to crash, honestly.. But I’m not trying to mess my sleep schedule up anymore than it is.. I might have to move.. Or get revenge on my neighbors. This is my villain origin story.”

          𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 her to come and see him play some of his songs at open mic night, it had been practically impossible for Aubrey to say no to him. She knew he was incredibly talented — and although they really hadn’t been back into each other’s lives for that long, she really enjoyed getting to spend time with him. It was no secret he was positively gorgeous. The way his eyes somehow managed to meet hers all the way from across the crowded bar a sure fire way to make pretty much any girl feel special and take her breath away as she attentively hung onto his every word, hopelessly incapable of ever stopping herself from smiling.  “I loved it,”  the brunette beamed as she briefly allowed herself to lean in and gently brushed her lips against his cheek as a way of congratulating him. Feeling equal parts excited as she felt elated.  “Was that a new one? You so have to promise me you’ll get up on that stage a lot more often.”

The bar counter was slightly sticky under Frankie’s forearm’s as he rest them in front of him. His dimples poked out and his cheeks flushed as he felt Aubrey’s lips. Frankie’s mind raced as he listened to her speak, “Yeah! It’s actually about someone you know very well.” He chuckled, “Oh, I don’t know about that! I have a day job, this is just a little hobby.. I’m not gonna be some pop-punk rockstar or anything, I’m a chef.” He fixed the flannel slipping from his shoulder, his eyes locking with hers again, “But I’ll be sure to invite you anytime I do... as long as you’re my biggest fan.”

Drew was no stranger to exhaustion. He knew all the telltale signs of lacking sleep; the foggy thinking, the slow motor reactions, and having recognised them within the other, he empathised. “Hey, man,” Drew piped up, his attention shifting to the slumped figure, “You good?” He clapped his hand upon his shoulder gently, concern evident within his expression. Still, in an attempt to lighten the mood, he offered a small smile, “Didn’t break anything, did you? That was quite the fall.” 

Frankie’s eyes met the man’s as he spoke. He chuckled lightly, “I’m good.. I’m alive.. I think.” A smirk rose on his lips, his cheeks turning bright red, “On my body? No.. Definitely didn’t break anything.. In my soul? My whole ego was just broken.” Frankie joked, glancing around the coffee shop, “Luckily, I’m not a regular here.”

Allison had been a mess lately, unable to identify any feelings that were occurring. She was determined to give Frankie a try with things, and she was genuinely enjoying everything they did together. For some reason, there was something in the way of her fully letting herself develop romantic feelings for him and she didn’t know what it was. Or rather she didn’t want to admit what that reason was. As Frankie spoke, she turned to face him, trying to maintain a calm face as curiosity took over. “Of course, you know me.. always honest,” she responded, offering a soft smile. His question took her a little aback though, unsure what to answer or how to do so. She pushed her shoulders up into a shrug, “Not right now no. I mean, you’re amazing, don’t get me wrong. My feelings just haven’t become more than the friends we have been. If that makes sense. I’m sorry if that’s not the answer you were expecting.”

Frankie fidgeted with his fingers while she spoke, giving a small nod at her words, though they didn’t feel great to hear. “It’s-... I mean..” Frankie laughed softly, “It’s actually the exact answer I was expecting... I just.. You know.” He shrugged, running his fingers through his hair, “I know it was all sudden and out of no where.. But I care about our friendship... so much. I just don’t want us to lose our friendship because this didn’t work out.. If that makes sense.” He smiled gently, “I told ya I wasn’t going anywhere.. So I’m not.. Unless you like never wanna see me ever again.” He teased slightly, looking down at his hands, his expression slightly more serious now, “I didn’t do anything wrong, right?”

monroe watched as the other tripped onto the table before plopping down into the seat across from her. “geez, dude. i can tell.” she chuckled softly, eyes still partially wide from watching the entire scene before her. “you okay? you do know you can slow down, right? not every moment of every day has to go as fast as you’re taking it.” the redhead propped her cheek up on her hand. “as little miss bowie would say, ‘i think you need a nap. a little chill out time… not a time out.’“

Frankie sighed, shaking his head as she laughed at him. “Hey, be nice..” He chuckled lightly, “No.. it’s all fast and furious for me!” Frankie teased, sitting back in the chair, “I need a very very long nap.. You know that young couple that lives above me? They had a party last night.. And I couldn’t sleep at all.. And then I opened at the restaurant today and got this super rude lady who liked nothing that I cooked and I’m just so tired.. Help.” He looked at Monroe desperately with a soft laugh.

once football practice was over and all the boys headed off home, matthew made his way to deja brew to grab a cup of coffee and a quick snack to satisfy his grumbling stomach. he waited patiently in line, ready to give in his coffee order, when the man in front of him ended up tripping and stumbling into the table next to day. “you alright?” he was quick to ask, letting out a sigh of relief when he was certain that the guy didn’t injure himself. he turned to the barista, asking them to make him a black coffee and cash in a blueberry muffin before sitting down next to the guy. “you look like you could use at least three coffees, that’s for sure.”

Frankie’s eyes looked up to meet Matthew’s as he asked if he was okay. “Yeah, yeah, I’m alive.” He chuckled, rubbing at his eyes and yawning slightly, “I think I could use a whole pot of coffee, but I like my heart-rate too much.” He shrugged, standing more carefully when he heard his name. Frankie grabbed the coffee, with an extra shot of espresso from the barista, before sitting back down at the table. “My neighbors upstairs had a rager last night.. and I had opening shift at work so... it was not fun.”

Once Frankie had finished writing his song, he made sure he fleshed it out completely. He was excited to be singing it at the open mic night, but he couldn’t lie that singing a song about someone right in front of them made him nervous. When it was his turn, he got up and sang his three songs, saving the new one for last. Frankie strummed his guitar and started singing Whiskey Breath, his eyes meeting Aubrey’s. When he finished his set he thanked the small crowd and made his way over to the bar beside the girl. “How’d you like it..?”

Frankie had been having a great time going on dates with Allison, but there was something he couldn’t get off his mind. As the two of them sat on his couch, he nervously fiddled with his fingers, taking a deep breath before he spoke. “Can I ask you something..? You have to be completely honest with me. No lies!” Frankie took a sip of his beer before turning to face her. “If I were to ask you to date me, would you be able to wholeheartedly say yes? With absolutely zero regrets.”

Frankie hadn’t had a great night of sleep, considering the couple in the apartment above his decided to have a party that lasted the entire night. He was rarely a grumpy person, but after only around half an hour of sleep and one of the most stressful shifts of work, he was about ready to crash. He slugged his way to Deja Brew, rubbing at his eyes every chance he got. The second he smelled the coffee, his excitement built. Frankie just barely got his order out coherently, but stepping aside for the person behind him he wasn’t so lucky. He tripped over their food, stumbling into a table. He sighed, pulling a chair out from that table and plopping down into it. He let out a small chuckle, “It’s been a day.. and a half.”

Even though he had a feeling Frankie’s question was going to be about Allie, it still took him off guard the smallest bit. “Uh-” He stammered a bit, suddenly looking away from him. “Uh- they’re good, we’re becoming close friends I think.” James said, hand reaching up to rub at his cheek some. There was no way he wanted to admit that he was jealous that Frankie got to take Allie out on dates, tat there was something going on between the two of them. “I’m um, glad you two are happy.” He settled on, which was the truth. “It’s doesn’t matter how I feel about that, you two are the ones in the relationship, not me.” James added, looking over at Frankie quickly and giving him the smallest of smiles.

Frankie waked with James, sliding his hands in his pockets and letting out a small sigh. “The thing is, we’re not in a relationship... and I don’t think we will be.” He glanced over at his friend, “I like her, dude, but I’m not dumb.. I’ve been hearing talk.. and I already knew that you liked her.. So I don’t want to be that person-..” Frankie shrugged, “I don’t want to be the person that’s holding you two back from something... That makes me feel bad, you know? I just wanted to talk to you before I talk to her.. Cause I can see it.. No matter what I do I’m not you.. So, if you’re serious and really like her I need you to tell me.”

Once more he found himself listening to Frankie, glad to have found out that where he lived was pretty close to where the two of them were. At the suggestion, a smile made its way onto his lips. “Yeah but then I’d have to remember that I have it programmed somewhere on my phone and to use it when I’m lost. And whether I’d remember that, especially on my bad days would be a hit or miss.” He explained, though at Frankie’s question, James felt his stomach twist some, though he kept his face calm. “Yeah- of course, you can always ask me anything.” 

Frankie chuckled lightly, “Yeah... It was worth a thought, but you’re right.” He shook his head, “Well, you can always call me! I’ll get to ya. Even if I’m at work, I’ll find a way.” He smiled softly, thinking for a second of how to properly ask what he wanted to. “I’m just wondering how things are with you and Allison.. I guess, like-... I wanna know how you really feel about us going on dates.. The truth.”
