Untitled Frank/Mikey comment!fic (PG)
Fandom: BANDOM (MCR)
Pairing: Frank Iero/Mikeyway, background Gerard/Lindsey, implied Bob/Brian, past Frank/Jamia.
Length: Short

Why this must be read: It's a grad school AU in which Frank and Mikeyway have been BFFs and roommates long enough to have a chore roster and tons of pets. Life is simple for Frank. Well, that is until someone's comment on his dating status inspires Frank to get some outside perspective on his relationship with Mikeyway.
This is a funny, utterly domestic and mellow story. Frank's obliviousness to what Mikeyway means to him is a neat contrast to Gerard's failboat-y attempts in wooing art store clerk!Lindsey. Ray, Brian and Bob's opinions on Frank's denial about Mikeyway being his boyfriend add some nice backstory tidbits. The author did a wonderful job of keeping everyone in character.
It also has some very cozy asides (including a description of Mikeyway nuzzling on Frank's beard. Mmmm!). Despite its length, the worldbuilding is solid enough for any reader to enjoy.
An excerpt
"It's not a big thing," he overheard Hot Art Chick (Lindsey! That's right, her name was Lindsey) say to Gerard as he passed them. "Just a few of us from school, we thought we'd put on our own exhibit, you know, really DIY. Probably nobody's even going to show up. But I thought maybe we could do dinner after?"
Gerard was simultaneously nodding, blushing, and making fairly nonsensical vowel sounds, and Frank slowed down as to better gawk at the trainwreck (although, since Gerard's 'unintelligible idiot' routine actually seemed to be working, Frank really couldn't class this, whatever this was, as a trainwreck. It was completely unfair.) "He'd love to," Frank interjected after roughly a millennium. Seriously, completely unfair.
Gerard nodded his agreement before finally finding some consonants to go with his vowels. "I mean, yes! Of course!" He flapped his hands a bit, his eyes as wide as saucers.
Lindsey smiled, and wow, ok, how did Gerard do it? "Great! That's so great. Oh, of course you and Mikey are invited too, Frank," she added. "It could be like a double date!"
Frank blinked. "Wait, what?"
