They were murdered, they were attacked and now they're dead. That's all Frank knows about his parents - gone before he'd even had chance to miss them, and it was fucking with his head. The police reckoned that moving away, to rural New Jersey with his grandparents would help him cope with the loss, but even Frank knew that they couldn't be more than wrong, because despite the dull sleepy atmosphere of the town, there was something unidentifiable yet impossibly unnerving about the place, and really, perhaps was safer in his parents home than he ever was here. And there's something physically wrong too - a figure that lurks in the smoke, fog, and shadows - a silhouette the deepest black he'd ever seen, the kind that brought an unsettling feeling to Frank's stomach, and really Frank's wasn't one to be overly twitchy about things like this, but from the moment he first met him, he could never shake the feeling that the figure was always following him. And perhaps, he was. (Vampire!Gerard)

Aeriss Fletcher is not a 'normal' individual. He is not able to calmly stand in a crowd, he is not someone who can freely speak to strangers, and it is impossible for him to remain relaxed around other people. Aeriss is a boy who has struggled throughout his life, with a disorder that has kept him encaged within the confinements of his own self built barriers. Because of this, Aeriss had been homeschooled. With his mother running a large retail corporation, they had the money and the countless resources to support Aeriss's needs, and allow the online education courses to take place. Therefore, it was never a problem to have Aeriss avoid contact with others. So despite the unavoidable family events, and occasional anxiety ridden outings with his mother, Aeriss felt that he really didn't need to be social with other people. Although, this convenient life slowly came to a petrifying halt when Aeriss learned that his mother was losing money fast, and her company was slowly drowning alongside them. With money being a growing concern, Aeriss's expensive online courses were no longer an option available to them. Which left them with one desperate choice, and that was for Aeriss to enter the public high school system. With this unavoidable issue at hand, Aeriss understood that there was not much he could do but self isolate until that dreaded first day of class. The first day he would step into a building with hundreds of other people, unprepared, and completely alone. But then, his therapist had an idea. The Buddy System. What if Aeriss had a friend that could be there alongside him throughout his school days, and help ease his anxiety? Someone he was familiar and comfortable with? It would be surprisingly simple to make a request to the school district and have them fit Aeriss's schedule into that of his friend. But there was one issue with this plan. Aeriss didn't have any friends. Although, of course, that was until he met Grayson Devaroux.
