Gerard sat in his bathroom, no particular reason why he chose the bathroom, probably because there's a lock on the door. He was sick of people. Fed up of being around them and he was just very tired of all the effort it seemed to take just to be them, he wanted to be alone. And because of this, he sat in his bathroom.
He did intend to eventually have a bath, but he wanted to prolong the amount of time he could sit by himself. But for now he was perfectly complacent with sitting on the small star shaped mat on the tiled floor. And so, he sat on the bathroom floor for no particular reason thinking about absolutely nothing for a while, because that's just what he needed to do.
And what Frank needed to do, was get over the crush on a certain 'punk rock' boy in the year above them. Because this crush was becoming very problematic indeed, especially when it came to Frank's friendship with Gerard's younger brother Mikey. Of course Mikey knew about Frank's small obsession with Gerard, he just pretended it didn't exist most of the time and so he barely ever confronted Frank about it.
Frank and Mikey's relationship seemed to stem from both their awful habit of smoking too much and the problems they seemed to cause within society's norms. They did have some things in common, for instance, they were both emo messes and didn't fit in with the heteronormative society they lived in. Frank being a pansexual, agender, emo mess and Mikey being a homoromatic, asexual, emo mess.
And as Frank sat in Mikey's room listening to some weird band that Mikey had recently discovered and thinking about Gerard Way, Gerard sat on the floor of his bathroom not thinking about Frank Iero.
'Frank, are you even listening to me?' Mikey spun around and looked the shorter person in the eyes. Suddenly Frank realised that Mikey had in fact been talking to them and shook their head in response.
'No, sorry...'
'I didn't think so,' Mikey rolled his eyes. 'I was talking about Pete.'
'Of course you were talking about Pete, I can probably guess what you were saying about Pete. Probably something about how he seems to try too hard to get your attention, he cares to much, he has a stupid fringe and is too loud. Even though, he needs to try hard to get your attention and it totally works because you never shut up about him, you also care too much but sh don't tell anyone, you also have a stupid fringe, and he's only too loud because you never listen to him if he's not loud.'
'Alright, no need to get your underwear in a twist Franky, calm yourself,' Mikey was slightly annoyed that Frank could so easily guess what had been saying and that their comments were completely true but he didn't want anyone to know that.
'Mikey, I get that he's a huge emo dork and all he seems to care about is sex, but maybe you should talk to him and see what he's actually like?'
'But, Frank, the whole sex thing...'
'I know, I know, talking to him doesn't mean he expects sex, for all you know it could be a front and he could be a massive asexual like yourself,' Frank laughed at that thought.
'Well, I guess I could, but like, he's quite annoying.'
'You're quite annoying yourself, to be honest, and I need to smoke.' Frank stood up for the first time in hours and stretched. 'Can I smoke in here?' He laughed, knowing Mrs Way would disapprove so the answer was probably yes, but occasionally Mikey didn't like Frank smoking in his room, probably because he was worried of what Gerard would think if he knew Mikey smoked. Mikey nodded.
