Some like to sleep, We like to play

The next night I drop Bandit and Riley off at Donnas. They run into the house excitedly showing her their new toys and screaming about them. "Guys inside voices remember?" I say and they both stop and say "sowwy mommy" before starting again in slightly quieter voices. As I leave I laugh to myself at how cute they can be sometimes.
When I get to the bar they are playing in the first band for the night is playing. I stand near the bar and watch, thinking about how awful they sound when someone grabs my arm. I turn around and see Frank standing there. "What do you want?" I snap pulling my arm from his grip. "You don't like me, I get it. But Gerard and Mikes are really nervous and they are currently in our van getting wasted. I thought you might be able to help." He tells me and I nod following him through the back of the bar. When I get out to the van Ray looks concerned and Mikey is just starting on another beer. "Mikes give me the beer" I say sternly, holding out my hand. He takes another swig before handing me the can. "You're gonna be fine ok" I say as I set the can down on the ground and cup his face in my hands. "The band that's on now is terrible, I mean really really bad so following them you guys are gonna tear it up." He smiles and nods saying thanks before hugging me. I look around for Gerard and find him curled up in the corner of the van drinking and shaking hunched over his lyric journal. "Babe come for a walk with me" I ask and his head snaps around as he's only just noticed I'm here. Once he's out of the van we take a slow walk up the street as I know he still has half an hour before they go on. The street is deserted and as we walk I ask what's going on. "I'm so scared babe and I know I said this is what I wanted but I'm so nervous and I don't want to fuck it up and forget the words but my mind won't stop screaming at me that I'm wasting my time."
"Well you just need a little distraction then don't you" I say as I grab his wrist and pull him into the alley way we are passing. I push him back against the wall and drop to my knees reaching to undo his pants. His eyes widen and he starts to protest "We're in public babe." But I tell him "No one is around just relax and let me help." I get his pants undone and his dick is twitching in interest. I pull it out and plant soft kisses up and down it before taking it into my mouth and sucking gently, feeling it harden in my mouth. I pull off and stroke him a few
times bringing him to full hardness before taking him back in and straight away taking him into my throat, sucking hard and fast and messy knowing we don't have a lot of time. I continue my fast pace bobbing up and down his perfect dick until his legs shake and he cums down my throat. I swallow it all and pull off planting more gentle kisses on his softening dick. I tuck him back into his pants and stand up brushing off the knees of my jeans while he does his pants back up.
We walk back to the van hand in hand and when we get there Frank snickers to himself. "What's so funny?" I ask and he smiles wide at me and says "Hope you guys had a nice time" before laughing again. I glare at him and ask what he's talking about and he says "You two disappeared together and now you're back he looks like nothing could bother him and your lips are very swollen so I'm guessing his sudden change of attitude is not because of a pep talk." I blush and turn away as he laughs again.

When the guys finally take the stage Gerard looks nervous again and I catch his eye as he looks at the crowd and smile at him. He smiles back and introduces the band. "Thanks for coming out tonight, we're My Chemical Romance." They start the first song 'I'm not okay' and the crowd goes wild. I am so happy that they like it and I can see Gerard relax into it. When the song is over the crowd continues cheering as they launch into the second song. I know they are playing six songs for their short set and the last will be 'Helena' which is a relatively new one for them but after their fifth song they stop playing and Gerard says "This next song we've only finished yesterday but I wrote it for the most amazing person I've ever met and she's in the crowd tonight so we're gonna give it a go." The guys start playing and I listen to the words Gerard is singing "Can I be the only hope for you, because you're the only hope for me." I smile wide in disbelief that he wrote a song about me. After they leave the stage I go back out to the van and the guys are bouncing around full of adrenalin from being on stage and Gerard picks me up spinning me around. "Did you like the song?" He asks and I smile and tell him I loved it. When he puts me down I turn to the rest of the guys and say "You guys sounded incredible. Congratulations guys" before they close in on me giving me a hug and thanking me for my support. When Frank goes to hug me he hesitates and in that moment I decide if this band is going to work I need to not make things awkward anymore so I open my arms and hug him back. He smiles when he pulls away and turns to start jumping around with the other guys again.

The next day I wake up in Gerard's arms and when he leans in for a kiss I put my finger over his lips to stop him. "October 27th?" I ask and he looks confused. "Baby I know that when you proposed I was going through a lot and then Ry and B happened and we kinda pushed it aside and focused on them but I'm ready and I think we should get married." He smiles so wide it looks like his face will split in two as he attaches his lips to mine. "October 27th is the day we met" he says in realisation before adding "It's perfect babe."
We cuddle in bed discussing ideas for the wedding which we will be having in just four months until the twins come running in and jump in bed with us.

When Gerard goes to work I decide to take Riley and Bandit clothes shopping. The day passes in a blur of mini fashion shows and lots of giggles. We stop in the food court of the mall for a snack when Mikey comes over and sits with us. "Hey Mikey what are you upto?" I ask and he says "Nothing much just shopping."
"Mikes could you watch the kids for like half an hour? There's something I want to do and I can't exactly take them with me." I ask and he says "Yeah. How about I take them to the toy store?" At the mention of that the twins eyes light up and they bounce in their seats asking if they can go. I give Mikey my credit card and tell him they can pick one toy each and tell him their budget. They join hands and walk off in the direction of the toy store as I go the other way.
I enter the tattoo parlour and a heavily tattooed man comes around the counter. "Can I help you" he asks and I smile and tell him I'm looking to get a tattoo of some lyrics on my shoulder and he shows me some sample charts of different styles of writing. I pick the one I like the best and he tells
me to come around into a private room and it will take him about fifteen minutes to do the tattoo. I start to get nervous, never having been a big fan of needles. I hear the bell over the door ringing, signalling another person enter the store and when I turn to look its Frank. He smiles and asks what I'm doing here and I tell him I'm getting my first tattoo. He nods and says "I can tell, you look like you're about to pass out" laughing a little. "I'm nervous. Shut up" I tell him playfully before turning to follow the tattoo artist. Right before I walk into the room Frank calls out "Need me to hold your hand?" Being sarcastic but in that moment I find that that is exactly what I need, someone to hold my hand. I look back over at him and nod and something in my terrified facial expression brings him into the room with me. The artist draws up the tattoo after I remove my shirt and hands me a mirror before holding another one so I can see the reflection of what it will look like before he starts. It's perfect and I smile as I tell him it's exactly what I want. When the buzzing starts I reach out and grab Franks hand and he squeezes back telling me I'll be fine and to just relax and breathe. Fifteen minutes later the tattoo artist wipes the last of the excess ink from my skin and Frank steps back to look at my tattoo for the first time. "Wow. You really love him don't you?" He asks and I say "Yeah I really do." "It looks great Z, he's going to love it" he says and I smile wide as the artist covers the tattoo and gives me care instructions while I pull my shirt back on. As I'm leaving the parlour i thank Frank for being there for me and he tells me it's fine.
I walk to the toy store smiling wide and when I find Mikey and the kids he asks me where I went. "I got a tattoo" I tell him and he shakes his head, smiling and asks if he can see it. "It's still covered but I can show you tomorrow" I tell him and he nods.

That night when Gerard gets home my tattoo has been uncovered and sanitised and it looks good. The swelling is starting to go down and I put lotion on it. After the kids are in bed I walk into the living room and stand infront of Gerard. "What's up baby" he asks and I say "I got you a present" as I take my shirt off. He smirks and grabs my hips pulling me closer to him but I put my hand on his chest and say "Not just yet. I want to show you your present first."
"Oh I thought this was the present" he chuckles and I turn around. He gasps and says "Baby what did you do? This is incredible" as he lightly brushes his finger tips over the words on my shoulder before leaning in and pressing light kisses over the message before pulling back and whispering out the words permanently inked into my back "The only hope for me is you alone."
