The things we want most in life are often times the things we cannot have. What looks to be the most desirable thing in the universe, the sweetest and most awe inspiring, is the most deceptive. These things -these vices- tease and entice us unrelentingly, forcing us to the very brink of madness. They'll drive us crazy, taunting their value and unattainable selves in our faces every waking and unconscious moment, only making us want them more. And more. And more, to the point where we will stop at nothing to obtain them.

For Frank Iero, the thing he believed he wanted most was the man he first spotted almost a year ago. It was the man he'd devoted all his time to since that fateful day. It was just a coincidence, their meeting. He had stepped into the bookshop Frank worked at one Saturday morning. He had spared him a smile before heading straight to comics. It was an unusually slow morning, so Frank had all the time in the world to observe the customer. This man was the perfect specimen in Frank's eye, with gorgeous ebony hair that contrasted so greatly with that alabaster skin and green, catlike eyes. His pixie nose, the red tint to his lips and the way his tongue poked out slightly as he looked through our collection. It wasn't that long of an encounter, as he quickly found what he was looking for. He'd bought the newest issue they had of Batman, and was on his way. If only he had known his mistake of stepping a foot into that store. Frank since then had nonstop tracked him around town, spied on him, watched his every move. If you had asked Frank what the man had eaten last Wednesday morning for breakfast or where the man will be in precisely one hour, he could give you the exact answer. Frank knew so much about him- who his friends, family, and enemies were, where he worked, what his hobbies were, and basically his entire daily schedule. The tattooed, 23 year old was obsessed to say the least. Frank wanted him.

It was May. The flowers had bloomed, the trees were bushy with vibrant green leaves. The birds were chirping their pretty songs as the sun shined down on Newark. The weekend had finally arrived. Coming from almost anyone else in New Jersey, they would've said it was perfect. It should've been perfect to Frank too, but alas it was not. He did not have the thing he wanted most with him, the thing he'd craved above all else in his life. He had money, plenty of it actually, enough to burn. He had a house, a car, an unnecessary job. Any material thing, he could have. The one thing he wanted was this man, the one thing that seemed unattainable in Frank's life. Today was Friday, meaning tonight his pet would be at his favorite bar, drinking and looking at other men. It made Frank insanely jealous to see the others lust after him in return, buying him drinks, smiling and flirting with him. He was Frank's pet and no one else's. This would all end very soon, of course.

Frank had long ago formed this plan, and tonight it had to be put into action. He had been very meticulous, going through all the details with a fine toothed comb. Everything was ready to go for tonight. Frank knew that soon, everything would be perfect. Nothing was going to stop him.

Tonight was the night Frank would capture Gerard Way and make him his own.

Notes

Hello there! First of all, thank you so much for starting to read this! In All Your Innocence (You're Mine) is a new story I've just started writing and is my second fic. Some of you may know me for Very Much Alive... well, I'm very sorry to say it's still on hiatus if not discontinued. I've lost all interesting and the original plot for that story, so here's something new and very different! Since my last "write when I want" method did not work at all, I'm trying something new. I have the outlines for about 25 chapters as of right now, with plenty of detail so it'll be easier to write, I can keep up with the consistency of the story, and not stray from the plot! Yay! This chapter probably isn't the most interesting, but things will get intense pretty fast. Hope you're ready for the ride... Please let me know what you think so far and more is coming very soon! Thank you all so very much again.
