There’s a boy who comes in to the café every Thursday after school and hides behind various sci-fi novels, occasionally taking sips of black coffee from the pale china the café supplies. Josh thinks he's kind of beautiful. (AKA -The one where not much happens but they're cute about it anyway.)

"But the words were so quiet, they just got lost in the wind"

The world has pretty much gone to shit. There are zombies everywhere. What happens when four people come together to survive the apocalypse? And who will make it out alive? Smatkins [Sean Smith & Ian Watkins] Fransykes [Josh Franceschi & Oli Sykes]

Josh is left all alone to face all responsibilities in life. Forced to leave his parents home with nowhere to go he ends up on the streets. Josh tries to make a living but his options are limited. When he sees that he can not survive like that he gets himself involved in the illegal world of prostitution.

Gerard Way is a virgin. A pathetic, gay, red-haired little virgin. But he was okay with that. People in school avoided him, hell, they didn't even know who he was, and that was how it was. Until a good 'friend' of Gerard's started a rumor. A rumor that was bound to destroy everything Gerard had come to know, and even a little more in the process. Nothing good could come out of this situation, or so Gerard thought. But a certain boy with converse and a lip piercing would beg to differ. (Ok I suck at writing intros. The story will be better, I promise...)

Josh and Oliver had been friends for many years, ever since Josh was still in his "Emo kid," phase, and had hair like curtains that would never really sit right around his face, and the ruffled hazelnut hair would always flop into his face; for a while. Now he simply looked like he belonged in a pop band with his rough stubble and prep kid haircut. Those were the days. Now they spoke on rare occasions and kept that one night that most certainly did not happen between them and no-one else. ** TW: Smut TW: BDSM boyxboy. Josh is a Submissive, Oli is a Dom. Jalex if you squint. Ships: Oli/Josh Jack/Alex Sort of Kellin/Vic But they're both straight. Very minor Josh/Alex and Josh/Alex/Jack Please be aware that their entire relationship will not be around the D/S theme.

Oliver Sykes lives on the North side of town. People avoid him in the corridors, paranoid that the rumours about him are true. Everyone has heard the horrific stories about the crime his dad committed, that ripped his families reputation in half. Josh Franceschi lives on the South side of town. He's popular, cheerful and innocent, always trying to make everyone around him smile, even social-outcast Oli Sykes.
