"Ugh, my life is falling apart." Brendon exclaims over dramatically, and puts a hand to his giant forehead.
"It's not autumn yet," Ryan remarks.
"Ha ha, very funny." Brendon glares at him.
Ryan points to the road, "Keep your eyes on the road, B."
There were a few moments of silence.
"How long is it gonna take to get to Ben's?" Ryan asks.
"About 2 more minutes." He pauses. "I hope brustoff becomes canon."
"Brustoff?"
"Yeah. Denis and Ben's ship name."
"Oh." Ryan looks out his window.
"You alright?" Brendon nudges him.
"Yeah. Just tired, I guess," Ryan sighs.
"Okay, just making sure."
A few minutes later they arrive at Ben's.
"I'll be right back," Brendon opens his door, and walks up to Ben's house. He knocks on the door; few seconds later, Ben opens it.
"Hey man," He says, closing the door behind him.
"Hey," Brendon returned. "Lets go pick up Denis."
Ben followed him to the car, and climbed into the back seat.
"Hey, Ryan."
"Hi Ben," Ryan softly responded. Brendon shot him a worried glance, and got in the car.
After about 10 minutes, they arrived at Denis'.
"I'll go get him," Ben shuffles out of the car. Once he closed the car door, Brendon immediately turns to Ryan.
"C'mon, what's wrong?" He places a hand on his shoulder.
"I just don't feel great, but I'll be fine by the time we get there." Ryan gives him a small smile.
"Alright," Brendon hesitates for a moment. "But you would tell me if something was wrong, right?"
"Yes, of course." Ryan assured his boyfriend, then pecked his cheek.
The sound of the car door opening distracts them.
"H-hey guys," Denis stuttered out, cheeks lightly flushed.
Ryan chuckles a little, "Hi, Denis."

"Gee?" Frank calls out for his boyfriend.
"Yes, Frank?"
"Are you re-" Frank turns to look at Gerard.
"Wow, y-you look n-nice."
He giggles, "Thank you. You look pretty great yourself." Frank blushes at that.
"We should probably go now," Frank suggests.
"Yeah," Gerard walks over and grabs Frank's hand, and intertwine their fingers. Frank smiles at the action, and they walk outside.

Josh looks in the mirror one more time, making sure he looks presentable.
"You look good, darling," A voice behind him startled him a little.
"Thank you, Oli," Josh beamed. "I hope tonight will be nice."
Oli smirks a little, "I hope it will be." He hugs Josh from behind, and plants kisses on his neck.
Josh giggles. "Oli," he says, dragging out the 'i'. "We have to go, babe."
Oli sighs into Josh's neck, "Alright." He lets go of him, "C'mon."

"And we're the only ones here," Jack flops back into his seat when they pull up to the restaurant.
"Wait, there's Kellin!" Alex quickly opens his door and gets out of the car, and runs over to where Kellin and Vic are.
"There he goes," Jack mumbles to himself, getting out of the car.
"Hey, Jack!" Vic calls to Jack.
"Hey."
"Should we go inside, or wait for the guys out here?" Kellin asks.
"We could sit outside. How many people are coming?" Vic takes a seat.
"I think about 21 people," Jack replies.
"Damn. Can they seat that many at a table?"
Alex chimes in, "Yeah. The most they can seat at one table is 30."
"Tyler!" Kellin jumps from his seat and tackles Tyler into a hug.
Tyler titters and hugs back. "Hi Kellin."

Brendon uses his fork to tap on his glass, "I would like to make a toast." He pauses for a moment, waiting for the conversation to get quiet down. He stands, "These past few weeks have been absolutely amazing. There were some downs, but in the end, we're still all friends. That's what's important," he raises his glass. "To friends."
The guys simultaneously say "to friends", and all clink their glasses together.
Oli clears his throat and stands up. "Brendon, you did a great job saying that, and I appreciate it. But, I have some things to share to someone; the love of my life," He digs into his back pocket, walks over to the other side of the table where Josh is sitting, and gets down on one knee. "Josh, darling, before I met you, things were going absolutely horrible. I didn't think i had a purpose to even live, but then, I met you. You completely turned my world upside down, and made me the happiest man." Tears are spilling down Josh's face as he watches Oli open the box. "Will you do the honors, of being my forever?"
Josh quickly nods his head, "Yes, yes, of course!!" Everyone in the restaurant cheers as Oli stands up to hug his fiancé. Oli whisper sings in Josh's ear, "Lets make this last forever." After they pull apart, Oli slides the engagement ring onto Josh's finger. Josh looks up at him, and notices there also tears in Oli's eyes. He leans in to kiss Oli, as the guys cheer louder.
"Did ANYONE see this coming??" Brendon yells over the cheering.
"Nah, man!" Pete yells back.

small time skip (because i don't know what else to add there lol)

Ben and Denis are sitting closely to each other on a bench in the small park area outside the restaurant. Ben snakes his arm around Denis' shoulders. Denis leans into his chest, and ends up falling asleep.
About five minutes go by, then the restaurant door is being slammed shut, causing Denis to wake up.
It's Gerard, who looks pretty angry from what Ben can see.
He decides to call him over. "Hey, Gerard? You alright?"
Gerard sighs, calming down a little. "I'm fine, just a little pissed off."
"What's up?"
Gerard thinks a moment, deciding whether he wants to tell Ben or not. "My ex is just being annoying." He takes a seat across from Ben and Denis.
"What did they do?" Denis questions.
"I was just hoping that tonight would be a nice night with Frank, but my ex had to somewhat ruin it."
"How'd you know they were in the restaurant?" Ben asks.
"Brendon texted me, and then a few moments later, he walked over to the table. He was trying to play nice guy by offering to buy champagne for Josh and Oli. Then he got to my side of the table, and whispered some, things, into my ear."
Ben takes a moment to let the information soak in, "I'm really sorry, Gerard."
Gerard puts his face into his hands and sighs. "Yeah. It's fine."
"Gee?" Frank calls from the restaurant doorway.
He gets up from where he was sitting, and starts to walk over to Frank, but Ben pulls him aside.
"What did he say to you?"
"H-he was just t-t-threatening," Gerard stutters out, tears spilling down his face.
Ben's face goes from worried to angry. "Is he still in there?"
Gerard nods. He starts to understand what Ben is implying, and try's to talk him out of it. "Wait Ben, please don't do anything!"
"Why not? He could hurt you!" Ben raises his voice a little, but lowers it.
"Gee, come here." Frank calls out again.
"I'm not letting him get away with what he said."
Gerard sniffed and reluctantly nodded. Denis got up and hugged him, hoping that would help him in some way. They separate, and Gerard walks over to Frank.
"Gerard? What's wrong?" Frank asks worriedly.
He does an airy chuckle, "Can we leave, Frank?"
Frank starts to worry even more, "Yes, sure. But why?"
"I-I'll tell you later, alright?"
Frank nods. "Do you wanna go and say bye to the guys?"
Gerard peers through the window, and see's Bert still talking with the guys. He shakes his head. "I'll just text Brendon."
"Okay. Whatever you want to do," Frank looks at Gerard for a moment, then hugs him.

------

Brendon nudges Ryan, and shows him the text Gerard sent.
Ryan whispers, "I officially dislike this guy."
Ben comes storming into the restaurant, and pulls Bert aside from the group, then drags him outside.
"What?" Patrick asks, oblivious to the drama between Bert and Gerard.
"Long story, but I think Ryan and I are gonna head out. Pete, I'll give you money for the check." Brendon digs into his wallet and pulls out some cash to hand to Pete. Before Pete can object, Ryan and Brendon are already halfway out the door.

------

The car ride is mostly silent, except for a faint Linkin Park playing on the radio.
What Frank doesn't know, is that Gerard is silently crying, his mind running over the things that Bert had said to him.
Gerard sniffs a little too loudly, causing Frank to hear. "Gerard?"
Gerard shakes his head and curls up closer to the window.
Frank sighs, and pulls over the car. "Hey, talk to me. It can be about anything, your emotions, music, stuff you wanna do, or even whatever is happening. Just let it out, baby."
Gerard sobs as Frank hugs him. "Shhhh, it's alright." Gerard slowly explains everything to him, after he calmed down a little. They drive home and end up cuddling, with Frank singing him to sleep.

You don't have to be a hero to save the world
It doesn't make you a narcissist to love yourself
It feels like nothing is easy it'll never be
That's alright, let it out, talk to me

You don't have to be a prodigy to be unique
You don't have to know what to say or what to think
You don't have to be anybody you can never be
That's alright, let it out, talk to me

Anxiety tossing turning in your sleep
Even if you run away you still see them in your dreams
It's so dark tonight but you'll survive certainly
It's alright, come inside, and talk to me

We can talk here on the floor
On the phone, if you prefer
I'll be here until you're okay
Let your words release your pain
You and I will share the weight
Growing stronger day by day

It's so dark outside tonight
Build a fire warm and bright
And the wind it howls and bites
Bite it back with all your might

Anxiety tossing turning in your sleep
Even if you run away you still see them in your dreams
It's so dark tonight
It looks nice, fall asleep
It's alright, come inside, and talk to me
