"You see Frank, the void and me... ...we're old friends."

"5 Year Old Gerard Way Presumed Dead After Over A Year Of Searching." The news headline was one of many that showed that everyone in the town of Belleville had given hope on the boy who went missing in 1981. Gerard was only 4 at the time he captors took him. The search continued for 1 year and Gerard was never found. Now 24 years later, Gerard is very much alive and living in New Jersey. He always thought he was adopted, having no idea he was kidnapped. After a traumatizing childhood due to his continuous night terrors, he begins to have reoccurring nightmares of a boy named 'Mikey' being in trouble. He decided to pursue these dreams and tries to help the unknown boy before time runs out. 24 year old Frank Iero was always one to mind his own business. His parents had taught him that being noisy got you nowhere in life. But after meeting Gerard Way, being noisy didn't seem like such a bad idea. That was until he got caught.

Gerard way and Frank Iero have always passed each other in the hallway but never spoke a word to one another. They are both alike in many ways. Both loners who feel like they don't quite belong. Frank mostly spends his days depressed and alone. The occasional hurtful remarks from his fellow classmates and father wearing him down. Frank's family issues seem to swallow him hole which is mainly why he feels like throwing in the towel... permanently. Gerard lives to protect those he cares about. Though, he has a bit of an edgy attitude most people learn to respect. There's more to Gerard than what the outside shows. His brother Mikey and best friend Ray know glimpses of how he really feels, and how complications from the past really fuck with his behavior. But, their differences don't keep them apart considering these strangers are forced into each other's lives when Gerard finds Frank attempting to commit suicide. Can Gerard help Frank without revealing his own problems and emotions or will they become too much to bare? *Trigger warning *Still editing mistakes( I'm fully aware my grammar sucks) *also warning this is terribly written. I wrote this when I was 13 and finished when I was like 15. Now I'm editing as much as I can to make it less embarrassing. Sequel "Never look up" both fanfics make me cringe tbh

Addicted to drugs and alcohol, Gerard is finding it hard to survive. After one attempt at taking his own life, Frank decides it's time to step in. [first fic. nostalgia everywhere]

Frank Iero liked to prove people wrong, he proved his family wrong by going to college, he proved his professors wrong by finishing it- but he has never been able to prove himself wrong. So when he is offered a job to get him off the streets and out of the gutter he says 'Why not?' but will his closed off attitude clash with his boss? Gerard Way is an artist, the type of artist that is introvert and a coffee addict, an artist that lives and breathes his passion. But now he is lost in a world of black, he hates being poked and pushed by doctors and he had given up all hope of ever getting out of the consuming void he finds himself in. But with a new person in his life will he begin to see things a little more brighter, or will he be left broken hearted?
