bro_mccraken is now following you!
frank furrows his eyes.
he doesn't normally question who follows him, after all, he's a public instagram account and assumes people follow him because of the whole "pastel cutesy" aesthetic his feed has.
the thing is that this account stands out. he thinks it's because of their profile picture, it's eerie, gives him the shivers but it's cool. the 'oh god, i hate everything about this" kind of cool. not to mention, this person commented on gerard's recent.
frank knows most of gerard's friends. he knows ray, he's a metalhead, and he's someone cool and reliable. there's mikey, gerard's younger brother, frank thought he hated his guts at first but mikey's a pretty interesting person. he just seems awkward at first glance but once you're close with him and talking about a topic he's into, he's the happiest person alive.
then there's pete, frank knows him solely because they went to school with him and now, he writes poems on tumblr and has a huge following from there. there's also this girl named linsey, but all he knows is that she and gerard are good friends who had a thing for each other in elementary school.
he clicks the profile, strumming his fingers against his bedsheets as bro_mccraken's page loads.
frank bites his lower lip. it's a private account.
but it's not just your ordinary private account, no way, it's a private account that gerard is following.
his gerard.
he shakes his head, blinking a couple of times as he pulls away from his screen.
wow. he just called gerard his.
it's strange, he's his boyfriend now and frank can go around saying shit like "oh yeah, i have a boyfriend. they're a dork. his name is gerard, they're the best. we met over instagram and it was like love at first sight. insane, right?"
yeah, insane indeed.
