Ryan and I were in front row, singing our heart out. I giggled, holding onto his hand.
I looked at Gerard Way and he looked so beautiful. He was pouring his heart out onto every song and throughout the performance. He was sweating but the lights made his sweat glisten on his face perfectly. The way his chest rises up and down when he takes short breath breaks. He was such a great singer.
The song he was currently singing is called, 'Maya The Psychic'. It was almost the end but I never wanted this to be over.
People kept pushing and shoving , making me sometimes trip but thankfully Ryan is here to help me back up.
When the last song ended, Gerard Way wished everyone goodnight and left the stage with the rest of his band mates. The audience slowly filed out of the auditorium and Ryan and I stay closed together while we make our way to the back stage.
"Do you know what you're going to say?" Ryan asked, smirking.
"I couldn't think of anything," I whined, looking down as I held Ryan's hand.
"It's fine, it really isn't something to think about," Ryan said. "It'll come out naturally when you speak to The Gerard Way."
I giggled as we both went to the back. There were security guards but we showed them the backstage passes and they allowed us in. There was a line and it's a miracle that it isn't a long one.
After an amount of time, we were the next ones. Except, I insisted Ryan to go before me since I was still thinking what to say.
I had a close view of Gerard Way and he looked amazing. He was wearing a white buttoned up shirt, a blue blazer, a red tie and blue dress pants to go with his suit.
"Hi, I'm Ryan and I'm such a big fan of yours," Ryan smiled, shaking the one and only Gerard Way's hand.
Ryan handed Gerard a CD that he bought off of Gerard Way's website.
"Hi, nice to meet you," Gerard smiled, showing his tiny teeth. "Who's this going out to?"
"Me," Ryan replied, "Ryan."
Gerard nodded and grabbed his black sharpie, signing Ryan's CD.
"Here you go," Gerard smiled, giving Ryan the CD again.
"Can we take a picture?" Ryan asked, taking out his phone.
"Sure," Gerard replied as he was given Ryan's phone.
Gerard pulled a funny face, taking a photo of himself and Ryan.
"Thank you," Ryan smiled, taking his phone from Gerard.
"Have a great night," Gerard said.
Ryan turned around to the exit, sending me a quick wink. I blush furiously when it came to my turn. I looked at Gerard and he send me a sweet smile of his, motioning me to come over.
I approached him and he looked up at me from his seat. The second he spoke to me, I felt as if I were going to have an anxiety attack and burst into tears.
"Hi there," Gerard said.
"H-Hi," I said shyly.
"Don't worry, I won't bite," Gerard teased.
"Can you sign this?" I asked, whispering almost but loud enough for Gerard to hear me.
I handed Gerard Way my notebook to sign.
"Of course," he replied, taking the cap off of the marker with his mouth. "To who?"
"My name is Frank but people call me Frankie," I said.
"That's a lovely name, I like your name," Gerard said, signing the notebook.
"T-Thank you," I muttered, playing with the hem of my skirt.
"Here you go," Gerard stated, handing me my notebook.
"Thank you," I smiled, giggling nervously.
I examined the notebook and noticed he drew a cat. It looked cute and I smiled.
"C-Can we take a picture, too?" I asked shyly.
"Of course," Gerard said.
I gave him my phone and he snapped a photo of both of us. I giggled as he handed my phone back to me.
"Thank you," I said.
"You're welcome," Gerard smiled, "have a safe night."
I went to the exit, feeling better about the whole thing. I saw Ryan and gave him a tight hug.
"Woah, what's with the affection?" Ryan asked, chuckling.
"He's so nice. I felt like I made a complete fool of myself but he was still nice," I rambled. "He's still handsome after going on stage and sweating everywhere. I like him even more."
"Frankie, you just met and talked to him less than five minutes," Ryan chuckled. "Besides, he's married."
"I still like him," I pouted. "And a person can dream."
"Okay, okay," Ryan smiled. "How about we go to a small cafe that's near us. We can have some hot chocolate and-"
"Cookies!" I exclaimed happily.
"Yeah, we can have some cookies, too," Ryan chuckled.
We both left the building and went in the car. Ryan drove to the nearest cafe, which was a small but cute. We walked in, feeling warmth surround our bodies.
"So what are you getting?" Ryan asked.
"Cookies and hot chocolate!" I smiled.
"Alright, you find us a table and I'll order," Ryan said.
I walked off and found a booth near the end of the cafe, away from everyone. I sat down and waited for Ryan.
"Hey, it's you!"
I looked up startled but became even more terrified when I saw Gerard Way.
"H-Hi," I managed to say.
"Where's your boyfriend?" He asked, looking around.
"Oh, he's ordering for us," I replied, "and he isn't my boyfriend."
"Well, do you have one?" Gerard asked, sitting across from me.
"No," I muttered.
I looked down at my lap shamefully, feeling my cheeks warm.
"Hey, it's okay," Gerard smiled, reaching over to hold my hand softly. "I'm sure you'll find someone who will love you."
I smiled softly and took my head away.
"Holy fucking shit!" I heard Ryan squeal. "You're Gerard fucking Way."
Gerard chuckled, standing up. "Enjoy your warm beverages."
"Wait, you can sit with us," Ryan suggested but it sounded more of a beg.
"Great," Gerard smiled. "I'll just order and be right back."
After Gerard walked off, Ryan had the biggest smile plastered on his face as he handed me my drink. I giggled and took a cautious sip of my hot chocolate. I broke the cookie in half and ate one part.
"Gerard Way was sitting at our table," Ryan said.
"This isn't our table though," I frowned.
"Well, no, it isn't. But he talked to us!" Ryan smiled. "You might have a chance with him!"
"A chance with who?"
We both shrieked and saw Gerard laughing, taking a seat beside Ryan. Gerard took a sip from his large cup.
"He's married, remember?" I mouthed at Ryan, making sure Gerard wasn't looking.
"It doesn't matter," Ryan said loudly.
"Pardon?" Gerard raised his eyebrows at us.
"Nothing," I replied quickly.
I took a sip of my hot chocolate, smiling at the delicious taste.
"Oh, Frankie!" Ryan smiled, pulling out something from his jacket pocket. "I have these stickers and maybe you'd want them."
I gasped and snatched the stickers away from Ryan's hand.
"Woah there, buddy," Gerard chuckled, taking the stickers away from my hand. "That isn't very polite, is it, little one?"
Ryan gasped before smirking at me. I whimpered and shook my head, looking down shamefully.
"You have to say thank you," Gerard said.
"Thank you, Ryan," I muttered.
"You are very welcome, baby boy," Ryan mocked, grinning at me.
I felt my cheeks warm up, making the other two laugh.
Gerard smiled and handed me the stickers back. I smiled and took the sticker off of the paper, and sticked one on my forehead.
"You have one, too," I said, putting a sticker on Ryan's jacket. "And you get one too!"
I giggled, placing the sticker on Gerard's cheek.
"So how old are you, guys?" Gerard asked, smiling.
"I'm seventeen," Ryan replied. "And Frank will turn seventeen in a week."
"Wow, you're making me feel so old," Gerard said.
"How old are you, Gee?" I asked.
"Gee?" Gerard raised his eyebrows, smirking. "My brother and wife call me that."
My eyes widened. "Y-You have a wife?"
"Well, of course I do," Gerard chuckled. "No, wait, not yet at least. We're going to get married in two months."
Gerard raised his left hand backwards, showing the black ring on his ring finger. I honestly thought Ryan was joking and I was just playing along, now I feel like a dum dum.
"Anyways, I'm thirty-three," Gerard replied to the previous question.
"B-But you like you're in your twenties," I gasped.
Ryan grinned at me.
"I get that a lot," Gerard shrugged, taking another sip of his drink. "I should get going."
"Aw, what? Don't leave yet," Ryan pouted.
"I have to call Lindsey to check up on her," Gerard smiled, "I'll see you next time."
"Who's Lindsey?" I asked.
"My soon-to-be-wife," Gerard replied. "Also...here's my number."
Ryan and I were given Gerard Way's number. I smiled happily and got up from my seat before jumping into Gerard's arms. I heard him grunt in reply but hugged me back.
"Bye, Ryan," Gerard waved at Ryan. "And bye, Frankie." He winked at me and walked out.
"H-He winked at me," I told Ryan.
"He definitely likes you!" Ryan exclaimed.
"He has a girlfriend," I muttered, sitting beside Ryan. "I'm sure he's straight."
"He could be bi? Or pan? Or just gay and using a girl to cover up that fact."
"I don't think so." I shook my head softly.
"Well, I think so," Ryan smiled. "We should get going back."
"Okay," I said
