Gerard stares at the number he dialed and sighs. Yeah, this is happening. He is getting a model off Craigslist.

“Yelloooooooooow?”

Gerard exhales. “Um… Is this Frank? Iero. Frank Iero.”

He giggles. “Yep! This is Frank! Who is this?”

“This is Gerard…Way. I um saw your add on uh, Craigslist?”

“Yeah. That’s where I put it.”

“Ok yeah… and I um-”

“You need a model. Dude chill…” Frank chuckles from the other end of the line.

“Yeah.”

“Ok. I will need your infoooooo.”

This guy is too fucking happy. Like, what the fuck? His life must be fucking perfect. Perfect fucking family, perfect fucking-

“Yeah I um,” Gerard spits out his contact and address.

“Alright man, I’ll call you with a date that I can do.”

Gerard nods and hangs up. He can do this. This is just a guy. A guy who will be sitting on his couch so Gerard can paint him.

Not weird at all…

The phone rings and Gerard snatches it up. He waits about three seconds so it doesn’t seem like he was curled in a fetal position staring at his phone.

What? Never…

“Hello?” Gerard mumbles.

“Hey man. It’s Frank. Frank Iero.” He says in a Sean Connery voice.

Gerard giggles. “Hello Mr. Iero.”

“So how about Tuesday? Painting correct? So that will take a while.”

Gerard nods and it’s silent.

Right. This is a phone. “Uh, yeah.”

“Ok dude. So like nine am?”

Gerard shakes his head. He doesn’t wake up until eleven. “Yeah sure…”

“I’ll see ya in two days.” Frank laughs.

“Sure, sure. Bye Frank.”

“Bye Gerard.”
