Gerard Way doesn't exactly do much work now that he thinks about it. Well he hasnt done much work since he started receiving flowers. He hasn't drawn a single thing, designed a single tattoo or even touched a tattoo needle. Basically for a week he's been paid to visit the short man next door to him, fear his dates with Adam ( one which was tonight) and drink his body weight in coffee. Gerard has spent the two hours since his lunch with Frank thinking about that sinking feeling he felt when Frank spoke to that guy, who sure was hot,  but why did he feel like that? It felt an awful lot like jealousy but he was only friends with Frank right?   Gerards sighs and sips at his coffee sadly, thinking about all the work he could of done this week.

However his little thinking session is cut short when Gerard is told that a woman has come in and requested him as her tattoo artist, he is more than confused. He walks into the parlor to see a woman with black hair tied into a high pony tail. She Is wearing a black jacket and huge sunglasses. She keeps surveying the room but her eyes always see to be landing on none other than Kat Von Dee who is returning the glances slyly.

" Hello im Gerard. " He holds out his hand for her to shake. Which she does.

" I know. I've seen your comic and tattoo designs on twitter.. " She removes her sunglasses and smiles. Now Gerard hasn't got many followers on twitter, a thousand tops, so hearing someone knows of him and his art from Twitter is quite the achievement. He wonders how on earth she came across his page.

" Oh erm thanks. "

" Anyway so I've drawn a tattoo design and I just wondered if you would be able to redraw it in your.. Style and then put it on my skin."

" Wow that sounds great thank you miss..?" she raises her eyebrows at him surprised.

" Ballato. Lynz Ballato. Well here's my design and my number. Make sure you don't give it to anyone else. " she passes two pieces of paper, " So just call me when you're done okay?"

And with that she puts on her sunglasses and leaves the building, stepping into a sleek black mercades.

Jared is staring at Gerard shocked. Gerard sits on one of the leather seats and opens the piece of paper lynz gave him which contains a picture of a large chicken.

" Gerard? " Kat asks. " Do you have any idea who that was."

" Lynz I think her name was. "

" Google her you twat." Jared shouts from across the room.

Gerard types her name in.
Lynz Ballato. 1/4 of mindless self indulgence. Winner of The biggest breakthrough artist of 2014, best single and best live performance from three different award shows.

Well shit.

.......

Mean while Frank Iero was next door reading Edgar Allen Poe. The little bell above his door rung and in walked Patrick Stump with a random guy who looked pretty sad.

" Frankie Flowerpot.!"

" Please stop calling me that. "

Patrick smiled and leant over the counter. Behind him his sad little friend who was actually taller than both Patrick and Frank perhaps combined. Okay that's a little extreme but still.

" So Frankie. what would you say to a date with myself tonight?"

Frank thought for a moment. Well Gerard doesn't want him does he? He has a sorta boyfriend so what could be the harm?

" Sure Patrick.. That sounds great. "

Patricks friend was fondling the flowers while this was happening, he looked so sad. Frank wanted to cheer him up so badly so he picked up a single pink rose and gave it to him. His eyes lite up and he looked at Frank who was smiling in contempt. Patricks friend wrapped his arms around Frank.

" Thankyou. " He whispered and walked away. Patrick was still stood infront of Frank and was grinning from ear to ear.

" Thanks Frank he hasnt smiled in so long... He was dating this guy.. Mikey and he found him in bed with this other guy about a month ago. He hasn't even called Mikey since. Dodged his calls. Everything. He visited his mum a few days ago but thats the only time he's actually left the house. Poor dude."

" Yeah..so I'll see you tonight?"

" Yeah I'll pick you up at eight.. Where from?"

" Here is good, I have some shirts in the back. "

" Until then Frankie Flowerpot. "

Gerard usually receives his flowers at lunch time, just before he meets Frank for lunch. However Frank decided Gerard needed a little cheering up despite the fact he has already received a flower that lunch time.  So when Gerard walks out of the back,  wearing a fancy shirt for HIS date he is surprised by what he sees. Lying on the counter was a little flower with a small tag on it. Gerard picked it up and smiled.

Citrons stand for natural beauty. My love that is exactly what you are. I wish I could one day see you for exactly who you are, one day my love you'll see me for who I am too.

Gerard loved getting these. Sure Adam was a bit of a dick but who cares? Free flowers. He could always go to get flowers from Frank as he does need money but buying him food is more beneficial for him he knows. Gerard wonders why Adam didnt just give him the flower on their date but quickly shales the thought from his head and breathes. The little bell above the door rings and in walks Adam,  smiling a large fake smile.

" Ready to go?"

....

Meanwhile Frank was infront of a mirror in the flower shop checking his reflection. He looked awful but when the little bell rang above the door he realised it was useless.

" Ready to go? "
