Why this Must Be Read:
So far I've recced three MCR stories and every one of them had been Gerard/Frank. That is the dominant pairing in the fandom, but it's not my favorite. I support the Gerard/Bob pairing the most, and am kind of a shameless cheerleader for it. This is a growing pairing, and a lot of it is pretty good. "A Free Man in Chicago" is one of the good ones.
This is a story that takes place during the time before Gerard got sober, and when Bob was The Used's sound man. Bob takes Gerard to his place to sleep it off, and Gerard misinterprets Bob's intentions. It's a beautiful story with a delicate touch. The characters really shine.
Gerard rolled his eyes and let Bob rearrange them so his arms weren’t strangling Bob to death. It wasn’t such a bad place to be, stuck against Bob Bryar on a cold night. Nothing could move Bob unless he wanted to be moved, and so no one could move Gerard, if he was holding onto Bob.
Except for Bob himself, who kicked the gate open with a screech of rusting metal hinges and lurched over the threshold, taking Gerard along for the ride. Gerard laughed, stumbling along the concrete path. He leaned back, slipping one arm oh-so-stealthily around Bob’s waist, and looked around the courtyard. Three rows of blank windows rose up on either side of him. One of the curtained windows, in the tallest row but at the end of it, had a fire escape attached to the brick around it, with a metal slide leading straight down to the dark, hard ground. A tree, stripped naked in winter, pierced the ground outside the inner entrance way. Dude.
