When Gerard meets Leah, it's a Halloween party and this dude- Mark? Marco? Marcus?- is harassing him about his costume (which is TOTALLY ACTUALLY awesome, thank you very much) so when she shouts at him to 'leave the poor guy alone, what'd he ever do to you' she earns his eternal gratefulness.

But then of course she points out how no vampire is complete without fangs which she is convinently actually carrying in her bag right now and Gerard notes how she isn't even wearing a costume and that's how they end up in the ladies' room, trying to force two white fangs onto Gerard' freakish little teeth and he's all like OW THAT HURTS CAN YOU NOT BE MORE CAREFUL and she's all like SHUT UP FANGS I'M TRYING TO MAKE YOU PRETTY and rolls her eyes so many times Gerard wonders if she and Mikey are related.

So, right, Gerard is in the middle of trying to figure out what it says on her not-so-subtly tatooed knuckles –he didn't even know they allowed them at this school, but whatever- and he really can't because she's putting her eyeliner on so frantically even though the party isn't even really started yet and then BAM a really cute guy is opening the door and calling Leah's name like a fucking lunatic, seriously, even the people in Japan would hear him, okay, but Gerard's kind of discracted and his jaw is probably on the floor and he doesn't even care because TALK ABOUT EYE CANDY and then he snaps out of it because Cutie McHotpants is doing Leah's eyeliner and they're probably together and he should leave so he states so and is all like 'sorry for interrupting your couple moment, I'm gonna go now' so he's kind of confused when they just look at eachother and start laughing.

„Dude, we're not together,“ Cutie McHotpants manages to get out between giggles and covers his eyes when Leah makes kissing faces at him, and adds an 'ew' for good measure because, well, don't tell anyone but he thinks Vampire guy is kinda cute. And then Gerard notices the guy has the same knuckle tattoo as Leah so he's all like SO WHY DO YOU HAVE MATCHING TATOOS THEN :OO as is confused as Hell and honestly can't keep his mouth shut, but Leah clears it up by going OMG HE'S MY TWIN AND I WOULDN'T DATE HIM ANYWAY LOOOOOOOL and then they laugh like it's an old inside joke, and Gerard feels like he's intruding again and also curses himself for not realising that they're twins, fucking duh, but then Leah is introducing Cutie McHotpants like 'Frank, this is Fangs, Fangs this is Frank' and hey, Leah doesn't even know his name but WHAT THE FUCK EVER because Frank is extending his hand and they're shaking hands and touching and omg omg omg Gerard could die like right about now.

He also finally figures out that it says 'Halloween' on both of their knuckles, so he asks about it and the twins just grin excitedly and are all like 'it's the coolest thing ever because it's our birthday' and then they're all leaving the bathroom and laughing about something Gerard said that was apparently funny even though it wasn't even supposed to be.

So when they get out of the party („Guys, it's hot in here, let's go get some fresh air before we all suffocate“, Leah whined and pulled them through the crowd) and are sitting outside, Gerard finally notices that the twins have matching costumes, Frank being the Joker and Leah being a genderswap version of one (how she managed that in like 20 minutes and in someone else's bathroom, God only knows but Gerard is impressed to say the least.)

They all exchange numbers and Leah promises they'll come over sometime because they actually live kinda close and they should totally hang out at that park by that crazy old lady's house, and then Frank kisses Gerard's cheek because he's forward like that, and then Leah kisses Gerard on the mouth because, well, she's even more forward, but Frank reassures him that 'she doesn't mean it', 'she's gay' and 'hope you don't mind being in the friendzone!' and Gerard can't help but blurting out how he's gay and thinking OH GOD I FUCKED UP I COLOSALLY FUCKED UP FUCK ME IN THE FUCKING ASS but Frank just smiles and shouts 'me too' because Leah is already pulling him towards their house and 'remember that one time Patrick and Pete made out on the sofa? Well Ray says that he walked in on them today and they... ' but Gerard doesn't even bother eavesdropping on the conversation they are having about gay sex probably because he's in seventh heaven and he walks into a fence while on his way home but he really, really couldn't care less.

Gerard was pretty much ready for anything because he quickly learned that you had to be like that if you wanted to actually survive around the twins. So when he was VERY RUDELY woken up by rocks hitting his bedroom window, he knew exactly whose crazy grins he'd see when he peered out of it.

„Come down, motherfucker,“ Leah whisper-shouted because she wasn't raised in the jungle and actually had some respect for the people who werr probably sleeping around them- unlike Frank, who was rolling around on the lawn and sounding like he was either laughing or choking after he barked out a 'come to the Dark Side.'

By the time Gerard creeped out of the room, grabbed a hoodie (even though those fuckers were in tank tops, but he didn't really trust their judgment) and walked out of his house, they were having some sort of a tickle fight. Dangerously close to his mother's flowers.
„What time is it even?“ Gerard yawned around his question, dropping to his knees and fisting his hair at their chirpy „Oh, only like 4 am“ because, „Guys. I need my beauty sleep.“

„Chill, Fangs, you're pretty enough as it is, no worries.“ Leah scowled and Gerard mumbled out a 'Gerard, actually' in response.
„Whatever, Fangs is totally cooler.“ And then Frank got up and dragged him after Leah, who was apparently trying to figure out does anything work at 4 am. Of course, Gerard made the mistake of telling her gas stations probably do.

And that's how they ended up getting really shitty (and over-priced) coffee and, wow, Gerard doesn't usually leave his house, like, AT ALL, let alone at 4 AM with people who he randomly met a few days ago- and on a school night. Mikey would seriously never believe him- OH, CRAP. MIKEY.What if he notices Gerard is not there when he gets up for a run before school at ass-o-clock in the morning, seriously, no one should be up that early by their own will, and tells on him? Well, he wouldn't, it's Mikey, but still, just to be sure, Gerard types out a quick message and you can't blame him for his spelling, he did it under a table without looking at his phone.

To: mikes:)
04:34 AM
gas station w/ some frnds. x) thought u ought to kno mthrfcker :p gee.xx

(Smileys are not stupid. Shut up.)

He then joins in on the conversation they are having about what's more scarring, It or The Human Centipede and he's getting used to these dorks, really.
„Hey Fangs, what do you think?“ Leah surprises him with her question. Don't get him wrong, but sometimes it's like the twins forget he's there. No biggie, used to it anyway, he thinks before actually thinking out a response, because oh god these are actual people and they want to hear my answer they care about my opinion fuck.
„Well, uh. The Human Centipede is pretty gruesome, but clowns are terrifying, honestly.“ And then Leah decides she's marrying this guy, and she announces it, and Gerard is slightly dissapointed Frank doesn't object to that and profess his undying love for him, because Gerard is a diva like that.

„Hey, tell us about yourself, Gee.“ And Gerard could really, really get used to this.

Notes

Sorry for all the typos, I'm too lazy to re-read.

I have a few more chapters already written, but I won't post unless somebody reads this, so.
