Brian was on his back and it was driving him fucking crazy. Was it too much to ask to leave him alone until 9am at least? Obviously so, because his neurotic, annoying, brilliant manager was blowing up his phone like Gerard had pulled an unauthorised publicity stunt. Again.

Gerard rolled over, shuffling out of the warm sheets and grabbing at his phone through squinting eyes.

"What is so urgent that you have to call me this early?", Gerard snapped, his voice croaky with sleep. "Someone better be fucking dying Brian".

"Gerard, you're late to your interview", Brian sighed back, clearly doing the thing that Gerard hated where he blew air out of his nostrils like an idiot.

"What interview?", Gerard yawned, glancing at the clock and seeing that it was in fact past 9am already. Well, look at that.

"Christ, Gerard. The one with Film that I told you about yesterday. You promised you'd make it on time", Gerard could almost see Brian shaking his head in disbelief.

"Yeah well, sorry Bri. I'll be there asap", Gerard stumbled out of bed, searching around for some clothes.

"Hair and make up are waiting, I'll text you the address", Brian said before hanging up.

Gerard slipped on some dirty pants, smacking his hip against the door and he cursed, grabbing his jacket and running out the door. He jumped into a cab and they raced downtown to the address. Gerard waltzed into the building, blowing an air kiss at Brian and settling into the make up chair.

"Make me pretty, ladies", he laughed, smirking at his reflection.

Frank woke up to a very different phone call. He was surprised that the caller ID showed his agents name, a person he talked to so rarely he'd almost forgotten they existed.

"Uh, hello?", Frank said hesitantly, unable to think of any reason why his agent would call him.

"Frank? Hi, it's Ray from Represent. I'm calling about an audition that's come through and we think you'd be perfect", the mechanical voice said.

"Really?", Frank sat up, paying more attention. "What is it?"

"It's a short film that'll be released in independent cinemas, a good script with good characters. There's a possibility that Gerard Way might be the main actor on site", the man continued his pitch as if trying to seduce Frank into taking the audition.

"I'll do it", Frank nodded firmly.

Three days into filming and Frank was yet to see Gerard Way, which he didn't really understand considering the plot was about the two of them falling in love. Frank thought it was pretty essential that they had scenes together but apparently the director decided to film separate scenes first to save time or something. Frank didn't really get it but he turned up and said his lines and got paid so who was he to complain? Honestly, it was just refreshing to be part of a film that explored the depths of gay characters without focusing entirely in the fact that they were gay.

Frank arrived on set again a day later, walking around aimlessly in an attempt to find the set manager. He was rounding the corner when a figure smacked into him.

"Hey! Watch the merchandise, kid", a voice drawled and Frank looked up to see Gerard Way.

"Oh god, I'm sorry, I-"

"Save it, grab me a coffee would you? My fucking agent ran out on me and he knows how I feel when I don't get my fucking coffee", Gerard flipped his hair, his lips pouting slightly as he ordered Frank around, clearly having no idea that Frank wasn't just an errand boy.
