I cleaned off the bar after gathering all the half empty glasses off tables around the place. Once I had practically everything done, I heard the bell of the open door.
"We're closed" I yelled out, monotony.
"No your not. There's still about half an hour." A man replied and sat in a bar stool.
"I suppose your right. What do you want?" I tried to push a smiled out of my lips, but couldn't manage. Today has been really fucking long.
"Shots?" He questioned, flipping his greasy hair away from his face. I nodded and poured him one. He downed it imedataly, with no hesitation.
"So...you work here?" He smiled.
"Yeah. Do you come here a lot?" I leaned on my elbows, finding his eyes.
"Yep. I probably shouldn't." He sighed.
"Why? Family troubles?" I asked, trying to find his weak spot.
"Like you wouldn't believe." He put his head in his hands.
"You...you wanna tell me about it?" I asked, coming out from behind the bar and sitting beside him.
"Well, last week, my brother got hit by a car. He's not doing so good, and the doctors don't think he'll live." The man sighed.
"I'm sorry," I reached out my hand to rub his back. He flinched and turned around to face me quickly.
"I'm sorry, I just-" he put his head in his hands.
"It's alright," I pressed my hand on top of his and smiled weakly.
"There's more isn't there?" I whispered. He nodded.
"I slipped back into old habits and my wife left with my daughter. I want to find help but I don't have anywhere to live." He looked up at me with tear filled eyes.
"Come to my place," I replied.
"What?" He asked.
"Come live in my apartment. Please, I wouldn't mind. I wanna help." I smiled.
"Thank you." He sniffled and wiped his eyes. "Can I buy you something to drink?" He asked.
"Nah, I have plenty at home." I waved off his offer. Besides, we didn't have anything good anyways.
"If we're going to be roommates, we should know each other's name," he tried to smile.
"Y/n." I put my hand out for him to shake.
"Gerard." He shook it prominently.
"Would you like to go now?" I asked. He nodded. I locked up while still talking to him, and we left around back.

We got into my apartment and I sat Gerard down on the couch.
"Do you like superman?" I asked, sitting next to him.
"I personally think he's to privileged." Gerard crossed his arms.
"Good." I smiled at him.

We watched a few different movies and the first part of lord of the rings before I fell asleep. I felt Gerard prop himself against the arm of the couch and hug me to his chest. I nuzzled into his shirt and felt him smile. He draped a blanket over the two of us and pressed his chin on my head.
"Goodnight" I whispered into his chest.
"Goodnight." He replied.
