    Summary

    5+1 Things style sequel to Sooner or Later – Gerard visits Frank while he’s on tour and just wants some uninterrupted time alone, damn it.

    His brain scrambles for excuses, but this technically counts as private, right? It’s a single stall bathroom with a lock. That’s practically the Ritz compared to some of the places they’ve been. Mikey can’t be too mad about it. Well, Mikey probably will be mad, but Gerard can at least argue semantics later. Then Frank glances back at him with that grin, and Gerard instantly forgets everything he’s ever promised his brother since birth.

    Summary

    Workplace AU - Gerard meets the new hire and Ray won’t stop trying to set them up.

    “He’s a good dude,” Ray agrees, albeit suspiciously, giving an amused side-eye. “He’s single, too, you know.”

    “Irrelevant,” Gerard replies while staring hard at his computer screen. He misspells the word ‘disclosure’ as disclseb and hits the backspace button a little harder than he intends. “Besides, I would never date a coworker.”

    "You know," you started, not caring about the words that came out of your mouth. "You're nice when you're not an asshole." You leaned next to him against the cold wall of the pub.

    He laughed, rubbing his forehead. "That doesn't make any sense."

    "I just mean-," you paused, taking a drag and exhaling, then losing your train of thought. "Why are you such an asshole?"

    "Don't act like you don't like it," he stated, leaning towards you with a small smirk.

    You scoffed. "Well, I don't."

    "Yeah? Then what do you like?" He moved to stand in front of you, placing his palm flat against the wall behind your head. "Cause don't think I can't see the way you squirm around me."

    Summary

    Sequel to Ten Year Drag — It’s been six months since Frank and Gerard mutually agreed to stop hooking up, but old habits die hard.

    Frank knows these tiny bursts of affection are always the opening act. He had hoped time apart would cool things down, letting them get back on the road in January with minimal collateral damage. Instead, now that they’re stuck alone together for a week, it’s apparently just more of the same. They both seem doomed to this never-ending loop where Gerard never puts a title on anything and Frank keeps waiting for this time to be different.

    It never is.

    Summary

    Frank knows how it sounds, but he does not have a fear of needles. No, it was quite the opposite, and that's the problem.
