"Gerard! Hurry up we're going to be late!" Mikey says, yelling from the bottom of the stairs. They were going to Gerard's millionth job interview of the week. Gerard has to get a ride from Mikey because he has no car, he also lives with Mikey because he can't afford his own house or apartment.

"Alright alright I'm coming just one sec!" Gerard yells back down as he's running out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist since he just got out of the shower.

Mikey hears a thud. "Gerard? What was that noise??" Mikey called up from the stairs.

"Uhh.. It was nothing Mikes!!" Gerard yells down and then gets up off the floor because his towel was too tight and his legs got caught in it and he fell while running. He gets into his room and starts scrambling for clothes, then finds some and puts them on. After he gets dressed and does his hair -which is him just fluffing it with his hands- he puts on his eyeliner then rushes downstairs to an angry Mikey.

"Gerard what the fuck man. If you're going to have me driving you places at least be ready on time." Mikey says annoyed as they both start walking out to the car.

Gerard nods. He hates that he has to have his baby brother driving him places. He's praying that he gets this job because if he doesn't he doesn't know what he's going to do. After a few minutes they arrive at Gerard's new job, well hopefully his new job. Gerard gets out of the car and waves to Mikey as he drives off. He wipes his hands on his shirt because he's sweating nervously. He enters the building and goes to the front desk. "Uh, excuse me ma'am? I'm here for a job interview do you know what room I go into?" Gerard asks the receptionist with a nervous voice.

"Yes, its the door over there sir." The receptionist says to him as she types on her computer and points to where the door is.

"Thank you!" Gerard says as he speed walks over to the door. Then he's on the ground on his butt. He bumped into someone. At least he thinks he did. He looks up and sees a guy with black hair getting up and cursing something under his breath, brushing off his shirt then walking away. Well that was real nice of him, Gerard thinks to himself then stands up brushing off his clothes and walks normally to the room he's supposed to be going to. Gerard enters the room and sits down, he has no idea what to do and it doesn't help that the seemingly middle aged woman was staring him down. He cleared his throat and spoke. "So uhm.. do you want my resume or are you going to ask me questions?" Gerard asked nervously because it seemed like this woman would skin him If he said the wrong thing.

The woman cleared her throat as well after it seemed like she was trying to drill a hole through Gerard's skull with lasers that could come out of her eyes."I'll be doing both because I know that peoples resumes don't usually define who they are and I don't want to turn you away if your resumes horrible but then you'd end up being the perfect match for this job. I'm sorry am I making any sense to you right now, sir?" Well shes not a mutant alien from a different planet Gerard thought to himself.

He then realized she asked him a question and he snapped out of whatever he was daydreaming about and answered her question. "Oh don't worry ma'am you made perfect sense, and I actually really appreciate that you wont define me as my resume because my resume is..." He makes a crashing down motion with his hand and does a 'pshhh' noise as he does it which earned a smile from the lady. Score, he thinks to himself.

"Well thank you for that demonstration Mr?" She says after a little laugh she let out. Gerard forgets to answer again because he's too busy fangirling in his head because he got called 'Mr' 'like it's such a big deal.

After about 30 seconds he realizes and talks immediately. "Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm Gerard. Gerard Way, ma'am." He replies and after about 45 minutes he walks out of the interview and waits outside for Mikey with a frown on his face and then he sees Mikeys car and walks over to it. After he gets in he buckles his seatbelt and Mikey turns to him expectantly. Gerard puts on a disappointed face. "I-"

Mikey cuts him off before he can even get words out. Stupid Mikey and his interrupting skills. "You know what? Let's go get ice cream or go to the comic book store to make you feel better, It's okay I promise you'll get the next one, Gee." Gerard seriously considers the comic book store but then snaps out of it and shuts Mikey up.

"Mikey there's no need because.. I got the job!" Gerard exclaims and Mikey actually screams and hugs Gerard and doesn't let go until he gets pushed off. Gerard is really glad he got the job because now he can make his own money and his baby brother wont have to pay for him anymore. This is going to be great.

"Oh my god! Gerard I'm so proud of you! we're going to go to the comic book store to celebrate instead, eh?" Mikey says and Gerard immediately agrees because hello? Who would decline a free comic book store trip? An insane person probably. Luckily Gerard wasn't insane and he accepted this amazing offer.

Gerard gets woken up by Mikey. Mikey's way of waking him up is repeatedly beating Gerard with a pillow until he wakes up and ends up falling out of his bed. "Why me. Why universe?" Gerard says while staring up at the ceiling from the ground and Mikey just stares at him blankly obviously used to Gerard doing this all the time.

"Gerard, it's your first day at your new job. You have no choice you're getting up. And you better be ready in time so you're not late because I'm the one who has to drive you." Mikey says and walks out of Gerard's room. After Mikey leaves Gerards room, Gerard gets off of the floor and stretches while making a squeaky noise.

"God it's so early.. Why did I agree to get a job." Gerard complains to himself while digging through his dresser for clothes. He ends up wearing black pants and a white long sleeved shirt with a black vest over it. Then he does his hair-which is him fluffing it with his fingers as usual- He looks at the time, he has 20 minutes until he has to leave and he debates on what to do. He's either going to go make coffee, look online for new action figures, or jerk off. He picks the second option. 

                                ——————————————————————                                                                                            

Gerard groans as he sees his work building coming into view "Tell me, how did I let you convince me to get a job?" Gerard asks Mikey, Mikey goes to speak but Gerard cuts him off. "Actually don't answer that." Gerard says as he runs his hand over his face. "Oh shit, I forgot to do my eyeliner!" Gerard realizes and then pulls down the mirror in Mikey's car and does his eyeliner as they pull into the building's parking lot. 

Mikey parks the car and turns to Gerard as he finishes his eyeliner. "I hope you have a good first day at work, Gee. Please don't get fired on the first day again. We can not have a repeat of that." Mikey says pleadingly to Gerard because Gerard tends to get fired on purpose sometimes.

Gerard flips the mirror in the car up and puts his eyeliner away then turns to Mikey. "Okay okay I wont. I promise. Well actually if I don't like it then I'm quitting but other than that, I promise i wont get fired on purpose." Gerard says as Mikey rolls his eyes and practically makes Gerard get out of the car before speeding off. Gerard stands there staring at the building already dreading the day. He didn't even have his coffee yet which absolutely sucked. He sighs and walks into the building and gets greeted by the receptionist as she packs up. "Oh hey! Where are you off to?" Gerard asks confused.

"I'm going home because you took my job. I couldn't thank you enough young man I hate this place! Have so much fun." The lady says as she practically sprints out of the building. Well that wasn't weird at all, Gerard thinks to himself. He goes behind the receptionist desk and sits down in the chair. "Shouldn't I be getting some sort of training for this job or something?.." Gerard says to himself then a voice comes from behind him.

"Ehh it's a pretty easy job but I guess I could help you." Gerard literally falls out of the chair he was sitting on because where the fuck did this person even come from? Gerard stands up and brushes his clothes off and the guy speaks again. "Wait a fucking minute. You're that dipshit that bumped into me yesterday and made me fall!" The guy says seemingly annoyed already.

"Okay first of all, I didn't do that on purpose. Second of all you fuckface, you made me fall out of my chair who just sneaks up on someone like that?" Gerard says as the guy stares at him disinterested. 

"Yea whatever, I changed my mind I'm not training you. You can go ask Lindsey because I'm not doing it dipshit." The guy says and walks away and goes into one of the many rooms and shuts the door. Well he's a petty bitch, Gerard thinks to himself. He sighs and looks around and he spots a door. Well there's a few doors and they have name tags on them. He reads them, Iero, Frank. Ballato, Lindsey. Toro, Ray. McCracken, Bert. Wow, that's a lot of names Gerard thinks to himself.

"Guess I gotta go ask this Lindsey chick for training." Gerard says to himself and walks to the door that has Lindsey's name on it and knocks. He realizes he never talks to women and starts getting nervous but then the door opens. Shit. Too late to back out now. When the door opened a lady with black hair and blackish redish lipstick came out.

"Uhmm yea? Do you need something?" Lindsey says looking tired, which Gerard couldn't blame her for because who the fuck wakes up this early? Crazy people for sure and Mikey must be trying to turn Gerard crazy because what the fuck dude. Gerard realized he zoned out and didn't answer her question and now he probably looks like a dumbass. He's got to stop doing that.

"Sorry! I zone out a lot and I miss questions sometimes but I'm new here and I need a trainer and that black haired bitchy dude refuses to train me just because yesterday before my interview I accidentally bumped into him and we both ended up on the ground. Like what's his deal?" Gerard says and thinking back on it just pisses him off.

Lindsey laughs for a moment then collects herself before speaking "Oh, you mean Frank? He's always like that, if he doesn't warm up to you then you'll just have to deal with it. But sure I'll train you, you're the new receptionist, right?" She asks Gerard.

Gerard sighs at the 'Frank just has to warm up to you' bit because it seems like Frank wants Gerard to get mangled by a lion or something but he'll just have to push through. "Alright, Lindsey I'll trust you on that I guess.. But yea I'm the new receptionist please help me with it I'm so fucking confused. I'm Gerard by the way. Gerard Way."

"Nice to meet ya Gerard Way, and trust me the job ain't that hard once you get used to it honestly."

——————————————————————

After work Gerard's waiting outside for Mikey who's taking 400 years to get here when he hears Lindsey and who he assumes is Frank approaching behind him. Then Mikey finally gets here and he doesn't go to the car right away because Lindsey and Frank are already in front of him. "Hey dipshit guy, why are you just standin' out here? where's your car?" Frank says to Gerard and Lindsey smacks his arm. "Ow Linds! What the fuck was that for?" Frank pouts.

Lindsey rolls her eyes at him then turns to Gerard. "I'm so sorry for him he's always a bitch to the new workers. I'm hoping he warms up to you soon tho." Lindsey says to Gerard and glares at Frank, who's holding his arm where Lindsey hit him.

Gerard nods and then speaks. "No, no. Its fine, really I don't care if he hates me or not. Just don't appreciate him being rude for no reason is all. And Uhm Frank? I think it is? I don't have a car my brothers picking me up.." Gerard says embarrassed and Frank bursts out laughing. 

He hunches over, his black hair going into his face and he catches his breath before he speaks. "I'm sorry, you don't have a car? How do you not have a car? You have to have your brother driving you around? Oh that's hilarious! You're an absolute loser!" Frank laughs again but immediately stops once he sees Gerard put his head down and say 'I gotta go' very quietly as he walks to Mikey's car and gets in it. Frank feels terrible now. And he never feels terrible. 

Gerard gets home, ignores Mikey's questions about the day and goes upstairs to his room. When he gets into his room he takes his clothes off but leaves his boxers on and immediately lays in his bed.

Gerard's already dreading tomorrow.

Chapter Text

Gerard's in the shower. The warm waters running down his body as he seriously debates on lying to Mikey and saying he's sick just so he doesn't have to go today. But then Mikey would just hover and not leave Gerard alone, so he decides against it. He rinses the conditioner out of his hair and shuts the water off and opens the curtain to step out. The cold air hits him and he shivers as he wraps the towel he had hanging up around his waist and darts to his room after opening the bathroom door.

"Gerard? Are you up? Like you actually woke up early without me waking you up?" Mikey calls from downstairs in the kitchen. Gerard groans because shut up Mikey, I'm awesome hell yea I woke up on my own, Gerard thinks to himself.

"Yea I'm up! Why is that such a surprise to you Mikes?" Gerard calls down as he puts clothes on. His outfit today is black jeans, which are kind of tight but fit Gerard, and a black t-shirt. He didn't really try on the outfit today but who cares? Not him. He does his eyeliner in the mirror and rubs red eyeshadow under his eyes and blow dries his hair which makes it look fluffy and soft. He goes downstairs because he is not going to forget his coffee today. Especially since yesterday was so horrible. He enters the kitchen on a mission, Project get coffee before doing anything else.

"Hey Gee, watcha doing?" Mikey asks but Gerard just walks past him and pours himself coffee and drinks it and actually moans. "Oh okay then.. Guess you needed that?" Mikey says as Gerard finishes his coffee and puts some in a travel mug so he can take some to work.

"Hell yea i needed that. And before you even ask, no. I'm not telling you about yesterday." Gerard says before Mikey can even asks and Mikey just sighs and shrugs.

"Alright whatever. I'll be in the car to warm it up. Come out when you're ready to." Mikey says as he grabs his keys and walks out the kitchen. Gerard sighs and runs his hand over his face. He's really dreading the day.

Mikey's waiting in the car for Gerard, and he's worried because usually Gerard tells him how his days go but yesterday he didn't so something must have happened. He doesn't get to think too hard on it though because Gerard gets into the car and puts his travel mug full of coffee in the cup holder.

Gerard stares at Mikey because he isn't driving. "Uhm, hello? Earth to Mikey?" Gerard says and Mikey apologizes and starts the car and backs out of the driveway.

Mikey's eyes are on the road but he decides to risk it and ask. "So, uh. Are you ever gonna tell me what happened yesterday?" Mikey says as casually as he can, being careful not to make Gerard blow up.

Gerard sighs and runs his hand over his face, which now that he thinks about it he needs to stop doing that or his eyeliners going to smudge. "Mikey, nothing happened yesterday. It was just a normal work day. Please stop asking." Gerard says to Mikey and turns his head so he can look out the window away from Mikey.

Mikey swallows. "Okay okay, I'm sorry I'll stop asking." Mikey says and continues driving. The rest of the car ride is dead silent. 

They arrive at Gerards work building and Gerard turns to Mikey. "Also, can you tell me the days you won't be going out or don't have work? So I can drive myself to work sometimes?" Gerard says to Mikey.

Mikey opens his mouth but nothing comes out and he looks at Gerard then talks. "Uh, yea. I'll make a list thingy and hang it on the fridge." Mikey says then Gerard nods and gets out of the car, grabbing his coffee and waves to Mikey as he drives away. He sighs then walks into the building. When he enters Lindsey greets him.

"Gerard! I was gettin' afraid you weren't gonna come today!" She smiles and follows him to the receptionist desk.

Gerard sets his coffee down on the desk. "Well, why wouldn't I come? I work here." He says then takes a sip of his coffee.

Lindsey shrugs and scratches her head. "Well.. What Frank said yesterday.." She says and Gerard waves his hand at her.

"Nope, I don't care. I'm fine I don't know why everyone's treating me like a wounded animal." Gerard says while booting up the computer at the receptionist desk.

Lindsey nods and changes the subject. "Right, sorry.. Well you have to meet the others! Ray's a sweetheart and Bert seems scary but he's actually really nice!" Lindsey exclaims. 

Gerard just stares at her. "No thanks, I'll pass. But thanks anyway." Gerard says uninterested and Lindsey groans.

"You're so boring! But whatever." She says and goes to her office pouting. Gerard shakes his head and sets up his computer, making the wallpaper batman themed and then gets up to explore the place since he's obviously going to be spending a lot of his time here. Then he almost runs into Frank but stops before he can ram into him.

"Shit. Sorry man." Gerard says then yelps when Frank yanks him into his office. "Oh my God you're gonna serial kill me!" Gerard says dramatically. 

Frank rolls his eyes and smacks him in the head scoffing. "You idiot why would I serial kill you in my office?" Frank says and chuckles then turns serious, looking embarrassed. "Uhm.. So about yesterday. I'm like really sorry man, and you better accept this because I never apologize to bitches like you but I felt bad and I dunno why so yea. I'm sorry." He says and avoids eye contact.

Gerard stares at him. Now that he's really looking at him, he's like mega hot. But he obviously won't say that. "Oh uh. It's fine. I only looked mad cuz I hate that I have to have my baby brother driving me places y'know?" Gerard says while fidgeting with his pants.

Frank nods and keeps avoiding eye contact. "Yea, sure. But shut up I'm not your therapist. Go work or something cunt." Frank says, getting back to his bitchy personality. Gerard chuckles and nods, getting up to leave Frank's office. 

"You're weird. But alright master" Gerard says then leaves Frank's office. Frank is speechless, and he always has something to say. He whines and runs to Lindsey's office and barges in. 

Lindsey looks over as Frank barges in and slams the door. "Woah, what happened?" Lindsey says as Frank leaps onto the couch across from her desk and whines."Okay... Wanna talk about it? What is it this time? A client was being annoying? Gay confusion and you panicking? A client confessed feelings? Frank come on!" Lindsey says to Frank.

"Lindsey! I dunno. I'm still trying to figure out my sexuality." Frank says and sighs.

"Frank. PENIS OR VAGINA." Lindsey yells and Frank shushes her. "Okay okay I'm sorry. But seriously, get some dick, its great." Lindsey says and Frank scoffs.

"I know that, I've sucked dick before I just don't know what I like better." Frank groans.

Lindsey nods "Well maybe you just need to find the right person? I mean I know it's hard but just wait it out and I'm sure someone will come to you. Unless you want to shoot your shot first but you know what I mean, Frankie." Lindsey comforts him as usual and he nods.

"Okay.. You're right. Thank you Linds I dunno what I'd do without you." Frank says and leaves her office. Gerard watches him walk to his office, his eyes never leaving him until he disappears behind the door. Gerard's eyes widen as he realizes. 

"Oh my fucking God. I have a crush on Frank Iero." He whispers to himself and puts his head down on his desk.                                                                                                                           

2 weeks later.

Gerard showered this morning, put on cologne, and made sure his hair looked extra fluffy and shiny. Today's his day with the car so he doesn't have to deal with Mikey pestering him. He grabs his coffee, leaves the house, and gets into the car. He starts the car and drives to work, not dreading the day today because now he has eye candy. He arrives at the work building and parks the car before getting out of it. He enters the building and sees Ray and Bert talking and waves to them before walking to his desk. He sees Frank come out of his office to see Lindsey and he stares at him but then Frank looks directly at him and he pretends to sort through papers and Frank enters Lindsey's office. 

Lindsey looks up at Frank when he enters. "Okay what are the updates?" She immediately asks Frank.

Frank sits down and start yapping. "Okay I swear I'm not crazy, but everytime I walk in here or back to my office he's staring at me shamefully like full on staring." Frank says and Lindsey snorts.

"Frank, he's totally fucking you with his eyes." Lindsey giggles and Frank blushes, getting images in his head.

"Lindsey! Stop it!" Frank pouts as Lindsey laughs at him. She catches her breath before speaking again.

"Okay my bad. But seriously make a move or something you hornball." She says obviously noticing Franks sexually frustrated attitude.

"Lindsey!" Frank hisses and Lindsey just shoves him out of her office. Frank gulps and makes direct eye contact with Gerard, he doesn't know what else to do so he insults him. "What? Do you need something loser cunt?" Frank says to Gerard. Gerard scoffs.

"God you're such a bitchy Bully, Frank." And Frank can't do it anymore. He walks over to Gerard and grabs his arm and drags him into his office. "Aye' what are you doing?" Gerard says confused.

"I- Ugh!" Frank groans and shuts his office door and locks it. He swallows and looks up at Gerard. "I just can't take it anymore. You've been eye fucking me and I just can't get you out of my fucking head! so I'm going to give you head." Frank declares. Gerard chokes on air for a moment before speaking up. 

"Woah, woah woah. Are you serious? Like actually?" Gerard asks. He's praying Frank says yes, because holy shit. Gerard really wants his cock in Frank's mouth now.

**

Frank nods and drops to his knees and Gerard gapes at him. "Yes I'm being serious. I just need- Just shut up!" Frank says and starts unzipping Gerard's jeans. Gerard's dick twitches before Frank even does anything, but he can't help it. Frank is literally about to suck his dick. His dick. Who would've ever thought? He's about to say something but his own moan cuts him off when Frank runs his tongue over the tip of Gerard's dick.

"Oh my- Holy shit- Frank-" That's all the words Gerard can get out as Frank takes him deeper into his mouth, wasting no time and swallows around him. Gerard moves his hands into Frank's hair because that's the only thing in reach at the moment. Frank is moving his head back and forth, holding the base of Gerard's dick with his hands. Gerard holds back a moan because he remembers they're at work and if they get caught, then bad things would probably happen. Frank attempts to say something but it just causes his mouth to vibrate and Gerard is surprised he hasn't cummed his brains out by now. 

"Mmmm, mhmm" Frank says as he buries his head further down. He swallows around Gerard again and that's all it takes before Gerard's cumming down Frank's throat.

**

Gerard catches his breath as Frank pulls off him with a pop noise. He coughs and wipes his mouth. "Fuck. You taste delicious." Frank says running his tongue over his lips. Gerard gulps as he pulls his boxers and jeans back up.

"Uh.. That was.. Fuck. That was the best head I've ever gotten in my life. Where on earth did you learn how to do that?" Gerard says in disbelief and Frank waves his hand at him.

"Uhm none of your business dipshit now go back to working the front counter before people start wondering where you're at, mkay?" Frank says as he opens his office door, shoving Gerard out.

Gerard rolls his eyes. "Yea yea whatever, fuckhead." Gerard says as he lets himself be kicked out.

A few hours later works over and Gerard grabs his stuff and leaves the building and gets in the car. He starts it but before he pulls out Frank comes running out and goes to the drivers window. Gerard looks at him confused and rolls the window down. "What?" Gerard asks Frank.

Frank catches his breath. Hm he must've been running, Gerard thinks to himself. Frank lets out one final breath before speaking. "Uh, can we do that again? What happened in my office? We can do it every Wednesday?" Frank says and Gerards eyes widen.

"Oh! Uh of course! Hell yea." Gerard agrees immediately without thinking.

Frank smiles and waves to Gerard as he drives away. Well works definitely going to be Gerard's happy place from now on. At least on every Wednesday it'll be.

Chapter Text

It's been about 3 weeks since Frank and Gerard's 'every Wednesday' meeting deal and Gerard is falling harder and harder for Frank. Gerard can't help it though. Frank is just.... He's just perfect and Gerard doesn't know why he's so attracted to him. This has never happened before. Every time he has ever had a lover-which was like two times- he never felt this strongly about them. You could even ask Mikey, he was there for those two relationships. Then he gets snapped out of his zoning out by his new friend, Kellin. "Gerard! You're zoning out again, snap out of your little gay dreams and lets go!" Kellin yells in Gerard's face and laughs.

Gerard smacks Kellin's arm for yelling in his face. He really took a liking to Kellin, well i mean he had to. He met Kellin at the comic book store after all. "Kellin! Stop doing that you big dummy. Anyway, where are we? I thought we were going to the mall? Why are we at an apartment complex?" Gerard asks Kellin confused and Kellin just smirks. For the few weeks Gerard has known him, he knows that smirk doesn't mean anything good. "Kellin.."

Kellin laughs and then composes himself before speaking. "Okay I'm sorry. But don't worry it's not anything bad! We're here because I got you a gift." Kellin smiles brightly then drags Gerard to the front of the building and presses the buzzer.

It crackles then a voice comes out of the intercom. "Yes? Which apartment are you buzzing in to?" A kind woman's voice says.

"Can we get buzzed into apartment D12 please?" Kellin says into the intercom and then the door unlocks and Kellin drags Gerard in. "Gerard, trust me you're going to love this surprise. Mikey helped me with it." Now Gerard is really confused. Kellin and Mikey have met briefly like twice, and now they're planning surprises for Gerard together? What the fuck? 

"Uhm? Mikey? As in my brother, Mikey?" Gerard asks just to be sure. Kellin giggles as they get in the elevator. Gerard stares at him as Kellin laughs until the elevator stops, waiting for his reply. "Kellin, what's so funny? I only asked a question. Now answer it. My brother Mikey helped you with this surprise?" Gerard asks Kellin for a second time.

Kellin takes a breath then finally starts talking when the elevator dings. "Okay okay! I'm sorry, but yes, your brother Mikey. We planned it together because we both care about you Gerard. Now lets go the elevators going to shut!" Kellin says as he pulls Gerard out of the elevator and practically skips down the hall. Gerard allows himself to be dragged around because he knows if he protests Kellin will just pull him even harder. 

"Ow! Kellin easy on my wrist!" Gerard whines and then they finally stop in front of a door that says 'D12'  and Gerard stares at it for a moment before Kellin squeals right in his ear. "Kellin! What the hell dude! Why are you more excited than I am? And what even is this? Did you get a new apartment why are we here?" Gerard asks Kellin who's literally bouncing up and down excitedly.

"No it's not my new apartment Gerard. It's yours!" Kellin squeals and Gerard gapes at him with his mouth open. He shakes his head and Kellin and laughs. Kellin shakes Gerard' by his shoulders. "Gee! I'm being serious! Me and Mikey both chipped in and since you have a job, you can pay rent. But don't worry, if you're ever short me and Mikey both agreed to help you out!" Kellin smiles brightly at Gerard and Gerard stays silent for a second, pursing his lips then looks down at the ground. 

"I- What? You actually?" Gerard says quietly then tears start rolling down his face and he hugs Kellin.

"Yes actually! Gerard you deserve it for working so hard these past few weeks and me and Mikey know how much you hate the thought of your little brother driving you places and living with him so we got you an apartment! And Mikey's giving you his car because he got a new one!" Kellin says as he hugs Gerard back and Gerard cries into his shoulder.

Gerard pulls away from Kellin and wipes his eyes. "Kellin thank you. You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you so much." Gerard smiles and hugs Kellin again before he gets pushed away.

"No more hugging, let's go inside!" Kellin squeals and unlocks the door to the apartment while jumping up and down with excitement. "Oh my goodness it looks amazing!! Right Gee??" Kellin asks while grabbing Gerard's shoulder smiling.

Gerard just stays silent and lets his eyes wander around the apartment. "I- Wow... Kel, it looks great. Thank you so much, I know I said that like one million times but seriously thank you. And when I see my brother i'm giving that little shit a bear hug until he can't breathe." Gerard says and Kellin giggles.

"Better be careful, he might stab you with his elbows." Kellin laughs and Gerard rolls his eyes and smirks.

It's 5:30 in the morning and Frank groans when his alarm goes off and he smacks it off of his nightstand and turns over. The clock ends up under his bed and starts to beep again and Frank yells 'Shut up' as if that will get the object to turn off. He eventually gets out of his bed still annoyed and crawls under his bed to shut the clock off. "Stupid motherfucker. Why'd I even buy that bullshit." Frank mutters to himself before going into the bathroom and starting the shower. He takes his clothes off and steps in, the warm water running down his body and he shuts his eyes. 

After about 30 minutes in the shower he shuts the water off and steps out then wraps a towel around his waist. "Alright it's 6 in the morning i have about 30 minutes to get dressed, do my hair, and look awesome." He says to himself and gets dressed. He puts on grey sweatpants and a black compression shirt because he hasn't done his laundry and has no band shirts to wear so this'll have to do. 

He gets a blow dryer and blow dries his hair upwards then uses his fingers to fix it up. After that he puts chapstick on and grabs his work bag. Gerard is done because he surprisingly got up early. He's wearing black jeans and a misfits t-shirt and his hair looks the same as always and has his eyeliner on. Frank opens his apartment door, actually excited for the day. That was until he bumped straight into Gerard. "What the- Gerard?! What the fuck? How- No why are you outside of my apartment? How do you even know where I live?" Frank says and Gerard just gapes at him not saying anything. Frank puts his hands on his hips and waits impatiently for Gerard to respond. 

"I- What the fuck? I- You live here?!" Gerard says just as confused as Frank and Frank just rolls his eyes and scoffs.

"Obviously I live here and you obviously knew that if you're right outside of my apartment. You are not lying your way out of this one." Frank says with an annoyed voice. Gerard blinks for a second before speaking again, or trying to. 

"Frank, I swear I didn't know you-" Gerard tries to say but Frank cuts him off before he can finish his sentence.

"No. You don't get to lie. Stay the fuck away from me. The Wednesday meetings are called off. You obviously got too attached to me and now you're stalking me. I mean i'm not surprised. The first day I seen you I knew you were some pathetic loser who had no social life. Now you're following me around like a stalker. Go somewhere else lost puppy." Frank spits out harshly and walks away towards the elevators. Gerard just stands there, his eyes following Frank until he wasn't in his line of sight. He turns back around, unlocks his apartment door, and slams it. There was one thing Gerard was sure of. He was not going to work today. He was probably going to call Mikey or Kellin and invite one of them, or both, over.

He digs into his jean pocket and pulls his phone out and calls Kellin because he knows if he calls Mikey, then he'll regret it because Mikey will use it as blackmail in the future. And come on why would Gerard tell his little brother about boy troubles? He's not crazy. After a few seconds of the phone ringing Kellin finally picks up and Gerard hears him say "Hold on" to someone but it was kind of muffled. "Hello? Gerard shouldn't you be in work? Why are you calling me?" Kellin asks confused and Gerard didn't blame him. 

"Uh, sorry if I interrupted something. I heard you say hold on to someone. But uhm i'm not going to work today. I honestly might even quit." Gerard says with a gloomy voice and Kellin is shocked.

"What?! No! Gerard you've been doing so well! You can't quit! What happen? Who did it? I will hurt someone. Tell me and i'll find a way to fix it." Kellin rants and Gerard just sighs thinking about what happened a few minutes ago and the mean things Frank said before leaving. Then before he realizes it, tears are rolling down his face. He sniffles then answers Kellin.

"I- Uhm. It's nothing. But can you please come over?" Gerard says and Kellin can hear that he's upset about something. Kellin has a short battle with his mind. He can stay at his house and get laid, or he can go comfort his best friend. He chooses to comfort his best friend.

"Of course i'll come over, Gee. I'm on my way." Kellin says then hangs up. He scratches his head and puts his shirt on and the guy who was excited to get sucked off looks at him confused. 

"Ay' where you going? We didn't even get to do anything yet?" The guy asks Kellin and Kellin turns to the guy with a sorry expression on his face.

"Uh... I'm really sorry my friend needs me he seemed really upset when he called me I have to see if he's okay." Kellin says and the guy rolls his eyes and gets up. The guys ends up getting dressed and leaving. It's been about 20 minutes since the phone call and Kellin finally gets to Gerard's apartment and he buzzes in quickly and skips the elevator and takes the stairs because it's way faster than waiting 5 minutes for a stupid machine. He gets to Gerard's door and barges in not even knocking. "Gerard i'm here! Now what happened?" Kellin yells and Gerard comes around the corner with a blanket wrapped around him and a tear stained face.

"I- I don't even know. Frank- He-" Gerard starts then cries and Kellin's eyes darken at the mention of Frank and he rushes over to comfort Gerard. Kellin hugs Gerard and lets him explain everything. 

There's one thing Kellin knows.

He's going to beat Frank's short ass.

Chapter Text

It's been about 3 days since Frank blew up on Gerard. Gerard has been using his sick days so he can skip work because he doesn't want to go to work and be reminded that he's a "needy little puppy" or whatever Frank said. Kellin is at Gerard's house because Gerard refuses to leave his apartment and keeps denying Mikey's requests to come over and help. Kellin's been trying to convince Gerard to just let Mikey over but Gerard keeps on refusing because he thinks it'll just be even more embarrassing for his baby brother to see him be all depressed over a boy when he's basically got everything he needs. A house, a car, and a job. But he doesn't have a guy. Typical hm?

"Gerard! Come on. Just let Mikey over he's your brother for heaven's sake! He won't judge you because family doesn't do that. Come on, Gee. Please?" Kellin pleads with Gerard. Gerard just scoffs and rolls his eyes at Kellin because come on, why would he let Mikey over? He already lived with him, had to get payed for all the time, and got driven everywhere by Mikey. Asking him to come over and help with his stupid useless mental issues is too much and he's not going to ask his brother to help with that. He's already done so much for Gerard, and Gerard doesn't want to seem like the needy little puppy Frank said he was.

"Kellin, no. I'm sorry, I really am but I just can't. He's already done so much for me. I can't call him over to deal with my dumb mental issues. I've got you for that anyway. Now, can we go to a bar?" Gerard asks Kellin and waits for Kellin's answer. Gerard knows it's most likely going to be a yes because Kellin has no knowledge of Gerard's past drinking problems, so that's a score for Gerard. Kellin thinks on it for a moment and sighs.

"Fine. But only because you're sad and stuff. And if I take you, promise me you'll at least invite Mikey over once and talk to him. And your mental issues aren't dumb, Gee." Kellin says and Gerard groans at that. He'll do it, but he's gotta make sure he's sober so Mikey doesn't know he went for a drink. He pretends to think on it before answering Kellin.

"Okay deal. I promise. Now let me get ready I'll be quick I swear." Gerard says as he stands up from his couch.

It's been about an hour since Gerard said he'd get ready. He decided to take a shower since he hasn't taken one in 3 days. He puts on blue jeans and a band t-shirt. He obviously puts on eyeliner, etc. and does his hair-which, again, is just him using a blow-dryer and fluffing it with his hands-and then he goes over to Kellin who's sitting on the couch on his phone waiting for Gerard. "Kels, I'm ready. Lets go." Gerard says and Kellin stands up.

"Alrighty. Lets go." Kellin says and then they leave the apartment. It's 6:28 pm and that's around the time Frank gets home. As Kellin and Gerard walk over to the elevators, the one they're waiting for opens and none other than Frank fucking Ieros in it. Gerard looks down as he steps into the elevator and Kellin gives Frank a deathglare. Frank looks at Kellin confused since its the first time he's ever seen him in his life and tries to walk past but gets stopped by Kellin.

"Oh, uhm? Sorry do I know you?-" Franks says confused and Kellin pushes Frank back into the elevator, pushing him into Gerard in the process, and steps in. The doors close and any chance of escape Frank had, disappeared. "Oh okay then. A little rude." Frank says to himself and Kellin chuckles but there's no actual humor in it.

"Me? Rude? That is absolutely fucking ironic coming from you, Frank Iero. You had no fucking right blowing up on Gerard and saying all of that overly rude and harsh shit to him when he didn't even do anything-" Gerard smacks Kellin's arm signalling for him to stop but Frank responds to Kellin. Well great job Gerard, now they're going to argue in the elevator. How awkward for you, eh?

"What the fuck? I don't even know you. And I had a right to say all that rude shit you weird ass cunt. What are you? His new boyfriend. I bet he gets around. He was very excited for me to suck his dick. He was probably only excited because he'd get to add a number to his 'this many guys gave me head' list. You're pathetic. Just like him. He's a good for nothing useless piece of shit. Get that through your thick skull, random dude. And you too, Gerard. Get it through your head that no guy will ever want to genuinely date you. They'll only use you for pleasure then leave because you're a useless fuck." Frank says harshly and Kellin turns to look at Gerard who's looking down at the elevator floor, trying to keep tears in so his eyeliner doesn't smudge. That's the last straw for Kellin.

"Oh fuck no," Kellin pushes Frank up against the elevator wall and hits the button that stops the elevator. He has Frank pinned by his neck. "I don't know why the fuck you're being such a bitch to Gerard. He's not fucking stalking you, you stupid fucker. He doesn't even want you, and fyi, he's not my boyfriend. But we're about to go to a bar and I bet there's going to be many guys who'd want him. Now shut you're obnoxious ass mouth and stop saying false and rude shit about Gerard, got it?" Kellin says as he glares at Frank and Frank rolls his eyes and nods.

"Yea, I'm sorry. Now let me go, please." Frank says as he avoids eye contact and Kellin releases him and hits the button that makes the elevator start moving again.

The tension is thick in the elevator. Frank is standing in front of the doors, waiting for them to open. Gerard is in the corner staring at the ground. And Kellin is in the other corner waiting for the door to open as well. The elevator door finally opens and Frank darts out of it and heads to the stairwell. Kellin waits for Gerard after stepping out of the elevator. Gerard gets out of the elevator and immediately heads for the exit mumbling 'I need a drink' as he walks outside to Kellin's car. Kellin gets into the driver seat and Gerard gets into the passenger seat and Kellin starts the car. 

"So uh, you alright, Gee?" Kellin asks as he backs out of the parking lot. Gerard is reapplying his eyeliner and he chuckles with no real humor in it. 

"Oh I'm amazing. Like what the fuck Kel. I get it, you were defending me. But I hit your arm so you'd stop but you kept going and now he's probably more pissed at me and it caused him to say more harsh things. Please just stop talking and drive so we can get to the bar quicker I really need a drink." Gerard says and Kellin feels bad because Gerard's right, he should've controlled himself back there. But what's done is done so all he can do is make it up to him as best as he can.

"Right. Sorry. And damn boy, when's the last time you had a drink? You're making it seem like its been weeks." Kellin says and giggles but Gerard stays silent. Kellin glances over at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Eh.. It's been about 5 months. I've just been busy with all those interviews and comics." Gerard lies. He knows if he mentions his alcohol addiction and his problems, Kellin will just turn the car around and drive to either Mikey's house, or Gerard's apartment. Kellin laughs and nods. A few minutes later, they arrive at the bar. It's not a gay bar, just a regular one but Gerard could care less, there's drinks here so what's it matter to him? 

"Oh yea baby, so many slutty girls to... Uh, hit on. Yea my favorite thing to do." Kellin smirks. Gerard thinks Kellin is straight and Kellin would like to keep it that way for his own personal reasons. They enter the bar and as soon as they walk in Gerard goes to the counter and orders 3 shots of tequila and downs them in one go. "Damn Gerard! That was a lot."

It's been three hours and Gerard is black out drunk. Kellin's had only one drink because he doesn't really like drinking in crowded places. And he's babysitting Gerard so he just didn't drink much. Kellin's fully sober by now though because that drink he had was when they first entered and it was light so he wasn't even drunk. Gerard on the other hand.. Kellin starts to get worried because Gerard is at the bar, drunk out of his mind and mumbling things and tracing lines on his wrist. Kellin turns his back for a second to call Mikey, then he here's glass shatter, then a scream from a girl, and then panic. He turns back around and Gerard had broken a beer bottle and cut his wrist with the broken glass.

"Oh my God! Gerard! What the- Are you okay!? We're leaving, Come on I'm calling Mikey." Kellin says as he grabs Gerard and holds him up as they both walk out of the bar, he calls Mikey after they get outside. "Hello? Mikey!" Kellin tells Mikey what happened and after a few minutes Mikey's at the bar.

"Oh my gosh. Gerard, why? You were doing so well. 5 months. Almost 6 months. Why? Why can't you just get sober. I understand life is hard but you were doing so well- I-" Mikey says disappointed and sad. He takes him from Kellin.

"Wait, he was sober? He was- Is an alcoholic? Oh my God Mikey I'm so sorry. Gerard I'm so sorry. I didn't know-" Kellin says panicked but Mikey shushes him.

"Kel, it's okay. You didn't know, it's not your fault. It's more his fault because he knew." Mikey says to Kellin. Mikey gives a light smile at Kellin before leaving with Gerard.

Kellin fucked up and even though he knows it's not 100% his fault, he feels fucking terrible.

He's going to beat Frank's ass just because he can.

He's probably going to get absolutely shitfaced.

And he's probably going to fuck that guy he didn't get to fuck a few days ago.

Yep, he has his night planned.
