so imma do that ig
Gerard:
You both would catch a ferry from New Jersey to New York for work. You were a singer, and New York is where shit got real for you. You started singing when you were 13, now you were 18 and quite successful. You noticed him first as he sat in one of the booths, working on one of his sketches for Cartoon Network in his book. Your interaction started small from sneaking glimpses at each other to holding eye contact and smiling, looking away, then looking back once more, until one day, you decided to finally go and talk to him. You talked about your common interests, and he showed you a few of his sketches he had been working on.
The date was September 4th, 2001.
Ray:
You were long overdue for an R&R and decided to spend your free two and half months spending time with your friends, which you sorely missed. You went out to the mall, thrift shopping, going into music stores, galleries, museums, and road trips. Everything you had been missing out on because of how time-consuming and demanding your work was. This time, you decided to go to the arcade you'd spent hours at as kids.
Your friends mocked you as you struggled claiming a prize at the claw machine. All you wanted was to get at least one thing, and you had your eye on the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. You spent maybe 20 minutes and most of your coins trying to get that damn toy. Eventually, you gave up and went on to something else.
After a while, you decided you were going to try again, but noticed someone else was at the machine. You watched as the person managed to get two plushies with only a few tries.
You protested with feelings of rustration and betrayal that the machine was rigged as he collected his prizes. He laughed as you explained the reasons for your accusations. He then offered to help you win Stay Puft, and you guiltily accepted his offer. He won it for you, and you thanked him.
The date was May 17th, 2003.
Mikey:
You officially met at the Barnes and Noble you both worked at even though you went to the same school. It was your first day at your new job in the music department of the store, and you had the closing shift with Mikey so he could show you what to do. He also introduced you to his older brother Gerard, who worked in the books department. It was very awkward at first, but he found you to be super easy and fun to talk to. A few months later, after spending 6 hours every night together, growing closer, your manager, Brian, changed your shift to the opening shift. You were both super disappointed. Until one morning, you found a note left on the bench with an inside joke only Mikey would know. It made you smile, knowing that even with completely different shift times, you both could still interact with each other somehow.
The date was November 11th, 1996.
Frank:
You met through mutual friends before, but you never really hung out together. One night, you were invited as a plus one to a party, and Frank's band, Pencey Prep, was playing a few songs there. You totally digged their music, and during their set, he would give you these provocative glances, getting you super flustered, which he liked. After they finished playing, y'all went and got drinks. Halfway through a quite flirtatious conversation, this random ass bitch from your old high school walked up to you with their friends who were completely wasted.
"Would you punch me for a million dollars?" They half-slurred, staring at you intensely, in a daring matter.
"Ha! I would punch you for free!" You sniggered, looking them up and down, shaking your head. This bitch treated you like shit during school, so if the opportunity to make them pay ever came up, you were gonna fucking take it.
"Okay, then do it." Their friends laughed, which were quickly cut off by many gasps.
The opportunity had presented itself, and you took it, proudly.
"Marry me." Frank pleaded, his dark eyes filled with astonishment, admiration and lust.
The date was June 3rd, 2000.
