To say that Gerard is kind of socially awkward would be like saying Freddie Mercury kind of liked leotards. Outside of his close knit circle of friends, Gerard likes to keep interaction with people his own age (or any age for that matter) down to the barest of minimums. Trouble is, for the past six months Frank fucking Iero, since transferring from Queen of Peace, has been worming his way in to that circle, and it’s giving Gerard a heart attack. Not that he minds Frank worming his way in anywhere...

((Basically this is one big messy gay bandom AU, features just about every ship in the emo trinity and a few more)) Frank is the only gay guy he knows, stuck in the rather restricting and conservative world of Catholic school with his two best friends and their Catholic upbringings, where his daily adrenaline hits come from smoking behind the art block with Jamia, who he reckons is on her path to being the next Lindsay Lohan. But then, things really do change, because perhaps Jamia's matchmaking abilities aren't quite as shitty as Frank reckons, and perhaps this 'social gathering' he's dragged along to, does have some benefit to him after all. And perhaps, Frank will draw a face to the name of Gerard - Mikey's older brother, who really despite living in the same town, is worlds away from the reality Frank's stuck in. And on the subject of the unlikely, will Mikey ever finally figure out that Alicia Simmons really doesn't give a fuck about croquet?

Frank and Gerard have been through a lot. It's not until they meet when everything goes downhill. Nothing seems to be going right. At least they're just as messed up as each other. A Frerard and a bit of Rikey fanfic.
