"What the fuck is going on?" Gerard tries again, slowly, almost looking scared to hear the answer. Frank is positive he's scared to tell it. His tone says / I dare you to lie to me again/, but his eyes say /Frankie, please don't lie to me. / With a deep breath, Frank squeezes his eyes shut and knocks his head back against the wall he's pressed against, willing his mouth to move through the tense grip of fear and shame. "Gerard, I-" -- Or, the one where Frank is an angry, alcoholic police officer hired to go undercover and spy on an infamous crime family... Only to get tangled in with a certain white-haired mobster everyone in his office has been warned about. [ Police/mafia Au: Cop/undercover!Frank, Mafia!Gerard ]

Gerard was late, and it was fucking raining. He'd missed the bus and it was fucking raining, and he was totally going to get dropped from the play if he was late again and he was so fucking screwed, but honestly Gerard wasn't all that keen on it when he'd heard the only main part he'd managed to get in this damn theatre group was of a fucking crossdresser. For someone who was supposed to be in the closet, he was doing an awfully bad job of it. Frank Iero was Gerard's favourite punk ass skater dickhead, that he was currently working on eternally denying to himself the crush he had on Frank, which totally didn't exist of course, but Frank was really cute, and Gerard was really stupid; stupid enough to think that he could totally pull off pretending to be a girl in order for heterosexual Frank Iero to fall for him. Surely, this was truly the worst idea Gerard Way has ever had.

❝I'll be as honest as you let me, I miss your early morning company. You are my favorite 'what if'. My best 'I'll never know'. ❞ Or, the one where Frank is 17 and an extremely bored 7/11 employee that may have found the best summer love ever in a red headed collage kid that comes in often. Trouble ensures. ((College!Gerard, Employee!Frank, summer love. Also, I will prob go through almost every Gerard hair era bc I just can't pick one lol. You've been warned...))

Gerard draws dicks for a living. Frank takes them. Gerard Way moves into a new apartment in a dodgy complex where he's bound to get beaten to a pulp after his old place is set on fire by those damned 'youths', and by a certain turn of events, his neighbour, the equally provocative, yet entirely in a different way, Frank Iero, ends up in his bed, and then, everything just really goes to shit.
