------------------------

At a bar, Gerard was sitting alone ordering a drink from the bartender. The loud music and people roared as people danced - since there was a band playing live tonight. 

Gerard's band was about to release their second album and tour soon after, so the guys decided to go out for drinks. Gerard was really stressed and wanted to forget things for a while, and being around the guys - even while drinking and having fun - it still brought back anxiety. So the stressed Gerard sat at the far end of the bar, enjoying the music and beer. 

You decided to go out for drinks alone after having an argument with your husband, Frank, and there was no alcohol at home. You didn't know where your husband went - probably having an affair like he so discreetly does. (sarcasm)

You sat at the bar beside some random man with long black hair covering the side of his face. You didn't really pay attention and just ordered your drink. You had a tone in your voice as if you just got here from a rough time, which you did. 

"Hey, you seem out of it tonight," The man next to you turned around a bit offering a friendly smile with an inquisitive brow. 

"Yeah, not the best night ever. Hey wait you seem familiar," You responded, narrowing your eyes at the man. His brows raised as he leaned back a bit. 

"Well, that's one way to get me to introduce myself, I guess. I'm Gerard, you?" He asked, furthering the conversation and taking your statement lightly. 

"I'm [name]. Hmm... I swear I know you. Never mind," You waved it off, "I might just have you mixed up with someone else."

"So what brings you to a bar alone?" Gerard asks in a way that wasn't like a creepy stalkerish question. 

"I just had an argument with a loved one- Well, I guess I love him," You offered a half smile. "How about you?"

"Well, I came with a few friends but they're over there," He nodded his head. "I just wasn't in the mood to be on the floor, y'know?" 

/pov change cos i accidentally wrote it that way and i'm too lazy to change it/

"Yeah," Our drinks finally came, him with some hard drink and me with some fruity one, I think. Not quite sure, I just picked something random.

"Got a limit tonight, sugar?" He asked, taking a large gulp from his bottle.

"Nope, I got an uber so I'm all good. You?" 

"Same, but my friend Ray is our designated driver," Gerard smiled to himself, which I watched intrigued. I had to admit, the man was attractive. 

We chatted more, getting along seamlessly and drinking a whole lot. We were at a point where we were both out of our shit, causing some small commotion around us. 

"One more round for the both of us," Gerard called to the bartender, him winking to show he was on it and pouring a shot for each of us. Gerard's words were slurred from the alcohol, but he tried his best to mask it. 

The bartender slid over the drinks, us downing them quickly. 

"I gotta use the washroom," I muttered to Gerard, tapping his shoulder so he was aware of my departure. 

/pov switch again for the same reason as b4/

"Alright, I'll be here, sugar," Gerard replied with a small smile, watching your figure as you walk away. He admired the way your hips swayed. From the mix of the alcohol and the loneliness he tries so hard to hide, he found himself wanting you.
