It all started with a wink in the stupid movie theatre. And then suddenly, for the first time in six months, Frank is going out on a real date with someone.

And oh boy, does he ruin it. //started aug 17, 2019// \\finished sep 8, 2019\\ #1 in Iero (september 2019) #622 in Way (august 2020) (I promise you won't walk away crying maybe)

Mr. Way, age 27, is a creative writing teacher. Frank Iero, age 18, is his favorite student. Frank is bullied repeatedly, and though it really doesn't bother him that much anymore, who but Mr. Way would be his protector and only friend? Things get complicated after their 'date' at the Women's Rights fair in town. *completed*

"I'm not gay. I'm not gay." Gerard has been telling himself that he wasn't gay for as long as he can remember. He doesn't want what the bullies say to be true. However, when new student, Frank Iero, comes to town, Gerard's world is turned upside down. Frank promises to look after Gerard but it's a harder job than he had anticipated.

Frank, the new kid at school, is trouble. He's already been kicked out of two high schools, and has problems relating to others. So far, he has only befriended Rye, a kind, funny and sweet girl who showed him around the first day, her boyfriend Aidan, and her best friend J, who has made an effort to get him friends. However, at lunch , Frank meets Gerard, Rye's best friend since kindergarten. He instantly falls in love, and now they must navigate friends, bullies, high school, and love together.

[This is the sequel to Tell Me I'm A Bad Man, it's not a necessity to read that first, but you probably should] Frank was under the impression that as soon as he'd graduated and moved to New York with Gerard, everything would be, well, perfect. Though he wasn't completely naïve - he knew that the presence of Gerard's apparently suicidal ex-boyfriend was going to make things difficult, but he didn't know that his intense distrust of the man would start to break down the relationship he'd tried so hard to keep. And then lies upon lies upon lies from everybody start to build, until nobody's sure of the truth anymore. Six months isn't long, but it's enough. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [sexual content, may be triggering for some individuals]
