    Summary

    There’s a brief moment of silence, of recognition, of oh shit oh fuck, before Frank says, “Gerard, hey. Long time, no see.”

    A little voice in Gerard’s head starts screaming, telling him things like say something and remember how to talk and god he looks so fucking good and shut up and reply to him, but what ends up tripping its way out of Gerard’s mouth is, “Oh, um. Frank, I – toothpaste.”

    For half a second, Frank looks like he’s about to laugh, but whether he actually was going to, Gerard doesn’t find out. Before Frank can say anything else at all, Gerard says, “Shit,” and leaves.

    He’s halfway home before he realizes that not only is he the biggest idiot to ever walk the earth, but he also didn’t even get his fucking toothpaste.

    Summary

    Frank has been sick for a year. Actually, it's been three years, but he relapsed a year ago and he's been dealing with the worst of it ever since. The incredible weight of fatigue makes time itself melt away. Frank's been fighting this all alone the entire time — to the point where he honestly doesn't think he can anymore — and he just wants someone to notice.
    Gerard went to high school with someone who had this. It was all too familiar to walk into her house and see her softly crying into her blanket because the exhaustion ran straight to her core. He's been good friends with Frank — who's routinely buying armfuls of black metal vinyls from the record store that Gerard works at — for a couple years, but he quickly realizes that their relationship means much more to him than he thought.

    Summary

    Frank is thrust all too suddenly into a new life, one where he's not warmly welcomed. He's the best goddamn hockey player he knows, though, and he's not going to let anyone take that away from him. Or at least, not until his world comes tumbling down.
