It all started with a Hello

Gerard's POV:

We get to go look at the adoption centre for a kid after school. We have one class left before the end of the day. I'm so happy me and my new husband as of yesterday get to adopt! I want my Frankie to be happy. The kids start walking into class and I look around. I notice our two students Dan and Phil staring at each other. A gleam passes their eyes that only passes vampires eyes when we look at our mates. Frankie and I know how to hide ours but these two look like very young and new vampires. We should probably talk to them about this. I look at Frankie and he's looking at me. He saw it too.

"Dan, Phil. Can you two stay after class please?" I ask. We haven't told the class our official last names yet. Nobody knows we are married. They both nod to me and I give them both a smile.

Class goes on and both Frank and I teach some lessons in music. Dan and Phil keep taking glances at each other and I find it quite adorable. I can tell they both are confused about being each other's mates. Finally the bell rings and everyone but Dan and Phil leave. I walk to the door and close and lock it. Both of the young boys give Frank and I worried looks.

"You shouldn't let your eyes flash like that infront of humans." I say. They both gulp. Frankie stands beside me and sighs. "Come on, only vampires eyes flash like that when they see their mate." I say again. They stare at Frankie and I with their mouths open.

"I-I'm sorry Mr. Way but vampires don't exist." Dan says with a worried stutter.

"Mates? I'm sorry but I know both Dan and I are straight." Phil says. Frankie looks from them to me and huffs.

"Bull. We know you are vampires and we aren't homophobic. We were just warning you that humans usually don't react well when they see vampires. You know you two are free to transform." Frankie says. They gulp and transform. We both smile at them. Dan is a light red colour and Phil is a green colour.

"How did you guys know we were vampires other than the eyes part? It's not that simple. For mates. I'm not sure how that works." Dan says. I look at Frankie and he knows what I'm about to do.

"We have our ways. When a vampire looks at his vampire mate their eyes flash. You'll see what I mean." I say and Frankie and I look at each other. Our eyes flash and we smile.

"W-wait. How did you do that? Is there a vampire here helping you two out with proving this to us?" Phil asks. Frank and I chuckle. How are these two so oblivious that we are vampires?

"I guess you could say a vampire is helping us out. Isn't that right Gee?" Frankie asks me. I wrap my arm around his shoulders. I chuckle.

"That's right husband." I say. The boys look at us with wide eyes. "Nobody asked us what we are though." I say. Frankie smiles a fanged smile and I flash a fanged smile too.

"Boys, older vampires can tell who's a vampire from a mile away." Frank says. We both transform. The boys gasp at us. Frankie leans on me and I run my hand through my hair.

"You two are Frank and Gerard. We've been warned about you two. Somebody named Mikey told us you two were very dangerous." Dan says. Frankie looks up at me and laughs. I huff and get ready to rat out my brother.

"Micheal fucking Way get your ass over here right now!" I call into thin air. Mikey appears infront of us and the boys gasp again. I walk up to my brother and put him in a headlock. "Why the fuck would you tell two of our students that Frank and I are dangerous? You, my little brother, are a little shit." I say and give him a noogie. He squeaks. Frank laughs and the boys are staring at us in shock.

"Fuck off Gee! I thought they'd realize it's a joke! How can anyone be scared of you two? You guys are fucking harmless. Even Patrick know that and he's as harmless as you can get!" Mikey says as he thrashes in my arms. He teleports away and I huff.

"Sorry you two. My brother can be a bit of an ass. God am I going to kick his ass at band practice tonight." I say. The two boys are now curled up in each other and Frank is on the floor laughing at me.

"So you two are vampires, Mr. Way, you have a brother who's a vampire, you guys are harmless and band practice?" Phil asks. I smile and pick my husband off the floor and give him a quick peck on the cheek."And your married? How old are you two?" He finishes off.

"Yeah we're vampires like you two. Yes my husbands brother is a vampire too. We are quite harmless. We only drink when we absolutely have to. We are in a local band. Not sure if you two have ever heard of it, its punk rock. We are married. I'm 24 and Gerard is 28 we just got married yesterday. You guys can call us by our first names out of class. By the way, if either of you ever get hungry in the middle of class just put your hands up and point up. We will get the signal and bring you into the supply cupboard. We have some blood bags back there to feed on. We can help you in any way possible. We can train you two and help you hunt." Frankie says. I nod and loop our hands together.

"Thank you guys. We only drink when we have to as well. We just moved here from England. It's just us two. We got turned last year. We know how to feed and fly, that's about it. We live in the house next to some amazing band named My Chemical Romance. What band do you two play in? Congratulations on your marriage by the way. Thanks so much for the offers for help. We may just accept them. So you say we are mates?" Dan asks. Frankie and I bust into laughter. So that's why we hear wings past our house quite often..

"No problem guys! We can kind of tell you two are from England from the accents. So you two are really new vampires. Frankie got turned two years ago. I've been like this since birth. We can teach you how to do things. Sorry about our noisy band by the way. My little guitarist here likes to jump around a lot. Thanks for the congratulations! Yes you two are mates. First time you looked at each other after you turned did you both feel like you had butterflies in your stomach? Do you both have a crush on each other? If both of those are yes then you are most definitely mates and will always be together. Just like Frankie and I." I say. They moved closer to us and we are sitting across from them. Frankie in my lap. They look at us in awe.

"Wait, you two are My Chemical Romance? Dude, we love listening to you play! I did have butterflies when I looked at Dan and yeah, I admit I do have a crush." Phil says. Just as he finishes talking Dan is tackling him in a kiss. Frankie and I giggle and I give him a kiss. They sit back up and they are both blushing madly.

"Sorry. I couldn't help myself. But dudes, you're MCR?" Dan asks. Frankie and I giggle some more.

"Frankie, my bro Mikey, his mate and fiancé Ray, and our little human friend Bob. Frankie and Ray play guitar, Mikey plays bass, Bob is on drums and I sing. It'd be cool to have more vampires around if you'd like. We've got a bunch of cool friends. We've got to go soon though. Frankie and I are adopting. You's can come if you'd like. We can bring you home and even introduce you to our friends." I say. We all revert to human form before jumping in Frankie's car. Dan and Phil are cuddled up in the back and it's so adorable. They wanted to come with us to the adoption centre and we happily agreed. I mean we are going to be hanging out with them a lot more often. We get into the adoption centre and decide it will be easier to adopt an older kid. We go for a teen for our first adopt and find a nice young girl named Meg. She gets along well with Dan and Phil and she likes rock.

"So Meg. Would you like to come home with us? We are both teachers at the high school you'll be attending and we can make sure you are with Dan and Phil." Frankie says. Meg smiles softly.

"Can I? Thank you two so much I've been here for years. I know I won't be living with you two for long but it would be nice to know someone cares. I hope you don't mind that I'm lesbian but I'm guessing you won't mind because the fact you two are gay." She says with a light giggle. We smile at her and I sling my arm around her and Frankie. Dan and Phil are smiling. "I just have one question. Can I go to a MCR concert one day? They are my favourite band. They are local too." She asks hopefully. Frankie and I smile.

"Honey, we can do you one better. We can take you to their concerts, get you backstage, VIP, practices and meet the rest of them." I say. She gives me a confused look. We all keep it hush and drive home. We hop out at Frankie and my place and enter. The rest of the band is sitting there. Mikey squeaks and hides behind Ray. "Mikey come out. I'll kick your ass later. Come meet Meg and you already met Dan and Phil you asshole." I say. "So Meg. Welcome home! Mikey, Ray, Bob, Pete, Patrick, Brendon, Ryan, Dan, Phil, Tyler and Josh won't be here all the time but they are close friends and relatives of ours. Now! Shall we head to the basement?" I ask. They all agree and we walk down to our new practice room. Frankie grabs Pansy, Ray grabs his guitar, Mikey grabs his bass, Bob sits at the drums and I walk to the mic. Everyone else sits down watching us. "So, Meg. You wanted to see MCR in action. Here we are!" I say and her jaw goes slack. We start playing You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison. She watches us in amazement.

"Oh my god! That's amazing! Now if only you guys were vampires! That would be amazing!" She giggles. Everyone stares at me. Meg looks around and seems confused.

"Um. There's something we should probably tell you." I say. Frankie bites his lip and walks up to me. Mikey makes sure she doesn't run and everyone else is ready to block the exits.

"What is it?" She asks confused. Frankie squeezes my hand as if to say he's got this.

"Meg. We're going to tell you something that will probably freak you out but trust us. Almost everyone in here even me freaked out. But look we are all still together. Nothing has changed between us." He says and she nods. "What you said earlier is true. Ray, Mikey, Dan, Phil, Gerard and I are vampires. I know, seems like BS but it's true." He says. She rolls her eyes and laughs.

"Good one! Vampires ooooo! Scary!" She says. She's the only one laughing.

"Meg, we're serious. This isn't a joke. Do you want to see? Just be aware that it's not an easy sight to take in and we won't hurt you. We won't ever drink your blood." I say in a serious tone. Dan and Phil lightly hold her shoulders to make sure she won't run off.

"Fine but if it's just slip on fangs and contacts I'll continue laughing." She says. I sigh and Frankie and I transform. Ray and Mikey quickly follow and then Dan and Phil. Her eyes widen in shock. She tries to push Dan and Phil off of her but she's much weaker.

"Like I said. Not an easy sight to handle. Look at how many human friends we have though. We've never drank from any of them except from Tyler and Josh but that was a mistake. We heal everyone we drink from and Frank's mom is a doctor for vampires bites. We won't ever bite you. Just showing this to know to let you know why we won't age or why we won't get sick. You don't have to be scared. Honestly, we are the best people to live with. Frank and I are total teddy bears and most likely the least serious people you'll meet. You probably won't really see us as parents but more as friends. Ask the little shit Brendon over there what we did after he found out we were vampires." I say. She looks over to Brendon who flips me off. I chuckle and we all revert to human form.

"This little fucker here. Ugg. I jumped on his back. He decided it would be a good idea to fly around the classroom with me on his back, Frank chasing him and everyone laughing at us. Trust me, they're anything but scary. Yes they are little shits but they are completely harmless." Brendon says. Ryan cuts in.

"Dude, you were screaming and saying Gerard is a motherfucker. When Gerard gets angry, instead of getting mad, he gets fucking sassy. He has a stash of feathered boas in his class. The dude can't even be serious half the time. At their wedding he strut around with a pair of panties over his suit pants! (A/N my uncle actually did that.) You think they're scary? I'd say not." Pete laughs out. Meg giggles.

"Honestly, if you HAVE to be scared of anyone, be scared of Bob. He plays a mean drum. The only time to be scared of Gerard or I is if we don't have coffee." Frank says and we all laugh.

"I guess vampires aren't scary. You guys are awesome! It's cool to say that I know a bunch of vampires. Thank you all." Meg says. Frankie and I go up and give her a big hug. Everyone else leaves and Frankie, Meg and I are alone at home. She likes and dislikes a lot of the same things Frankie and I do. "So what do I call you guys?" She asks us.

"You can call us anything you'd like. Frank and Gerard, Frankie and Gee, Dads. Whatever. Just as long as we're at school you call us Mr. Way-Iero. None of the other students know that yet though. We teach you art and music. OH! Your room. It's down the hall from ours and we can go shopping over the weekend." Frankie says as he curls up in my side on the couch. Meg is sitting across from us. She's short like Frankie, she has facial features like me, she's tattooed like Frankie, she's extremely pale, she has three sets of piercings in her ears and one lip ring in her right side and a nose in her left. Her hair is long and black that shifts into a blood red. Her eyes are so dark they look black, she wears the same type of clothes we do. If I was straight she'd be the type of girl I'd go for. She smiles showing her pointed canines. She could easily be mistaken for a vampire.

"Okay, Dads. That sounds fitting. Art and music were already my favourite classes! Thank you two so much again! I feel accepted here. I was bullied and had lots of things going wrong for me. I should know a few things about my dads though. When did you get married? Birthdays? Age? Can I change my last name so that I don't have to use my old abusive family's name?" She asks us. We can't help but smile.

"Okay daughter. To answer your questions in order. Yesterday. Mine is April 9th and Frankie's is Halloween. I'm 28 and Frankie is 24. Yes you can change your last name. It's getting kind of late and we all have school tomorrow. Meg, Dan and Phil will watch over you. Don't be shy to ask us anything. This is your home now too. Feel free to raid the fridge, cupboards, anything. We don't care if you swear, smoke, do almost anything. Just don't do anything more than weed. Tell us if you did and we can stop any addiction but still. Going too deep in things can kill humans. We don't want to see our little girl hurt." I say to her. She takes a sip of her hot chocolate and finishes it off.

"Thanks Dads! You guys are great. I do swear a bit. I don't smoke or do drugs. I don't want to try. You guys are so relaxed though. It's awesome! I hope my school day goes well." She says. We all stand up. We give her a hug and a kiss on the forehead good night.

"Goodnight Meg. Love you." We both say to her. She smiles and trots off to her room.

"Night Dads! Love you both too!" She says back to us. She's going to be a great kid.
