rsadelleHappy Halloween! I did this last year and it was fun, so let's do it again.
Knock or ring the bell by leaving me a comment, and I'll reply with a treat of some sort. It might be a fic snippet, a picture, a song, or something else I come up with in the moment.

Date: 2010-10-31 08:36 pm (UTC)Gabe meets Mikey first. Later he figures out that everyone meets Mikey first. But Mikey introduces him to Gerard, who draws a picture of Gabe and his bass that's so good Gabe has it framed and gives it to his Pops for his birthday.
Gabe never does more than a little dirty dancing with Mikey, but he and Gerard hook up a lot and talk about art and shit.
It's good for a long time, until it's not anymore, until Gabe's itching to do something else, something new, and Gerard spends more time with his lyrics and his band than with Gabe.
They break up on a Friday, and Gerard's eyes are wet when he hugs Gabe tight and says, "Sorry."
*
They see each other, over the years. Mikey's still his friend, anyway, one of the guys from Jersey, and then there's Pete, who can be blamed for a whole hell of a lot more than just Gabe running into his ex sometimes.
But it's fine. Gerard gets married, Gabe's band gets famous, Gabe hooks up and breaks up with more people.
*
Gabe runs into Gerard in a fucking park. Gerard's with his wife and their daughter, and the baby smiles up at him. Gabe's a sucker for babies.
Gerard looks kind of sad again, when they say goodbye.
Gabe says, "I'm glad you're happy" when Gerard hugs him tight.
Three weeks later, Mikey introduces him to Josh, a cultural studies professor who wrote a book on the cultural significance of snakes - Mikey's idea of a joke - and goes to services most Friday nights. Josh takes Gabe to an exhibit of snake-themed art on their third date and spends the summer working out his fall classes on the bus's iffy wi-fi and watching every show side stage.

Date: 2010-11-01 02:04 am (UTC)Title from Melissa Etheridge's "Sleep."
"That was good." Bill flops down next to him.
Mike waits, but that's all Bill is doing.
"Bill," he says. "Bill, you can't just stop." He feels like he might cry, because they talked about this.
Bill's hand comes down on his chest, too soft to be a slap, but hard enough to ground him. When he says, "Stay still," he's Mike's dom again instead of the lead singer he's known since they were teenagers.
Mike does, even though Bill gets up and walks away. His ass hurts, from Bill's belt and his teeth and his cock, and he's lying on his back, which means he can't get away from it. He's starting to get cold, but he doesn't let himself shiver. Bill told him to stay still.
Bill comes back and wipes him off, washcloth too cold against his cock and stomach. "Roll over," Bill tells him.
The cloth that was too cold on his stomach is just right on his ass, cool and just a little rough. Mike still doesn't have to think; Bill is still in charge.
After the washcloth, Bill's hands come back, smoothing in something wet and honest-to-god cold - not just cool - that soothes the ache.
"Take these," Bill says after his hands go away.
Mike turns a little and lips the Tylenol right out of Bill's hand. Bill helps him drink half a glass of water. Mike watches him put the rest of it on the nightstand.
"It's there when you're ready for it."
Mike doesn't know what he's done with the washcloth, the numbing lotion, the Tylenol bottle, but he doesn't have to. Those are Bill's responsibility.
Bill lies down next to him again and puts his hand on Mike's back, high up, away from where it hurts. "How do you feel?"
Mike's floating again, now that Bill's got him, and all he says is, "Good."
Bill moves closer, pulls a blanket up over them, bites lightly at Mike's shoulder. Mike loves him so much in that moment that it hurts.
