Downtime is Our Time by Silentdescant (PG)

Fandom: BANDOM (MCR)

Pairing: Bob Bryar/Frank Iero

Length: ~1,400 words

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] silentdescant

Author Website: The LJ Fic Index / AO3 Page

Why this must be read: Because this is a great instance where good fluff fic + Bob Bryar equals a really satisfying read.

Something that will definitely pull you in is the way [livejournal.com profile] silentdescant gets all these little and quiet moments that shows us Bob and Frank as a couple as well as great friends. The relaxed vibe from the beginning continues through the rest of the fic with the added intimacy of Bob touching Frank as the two of them chill out in the lounge. There's nothing overtly sexual and yet Bob and Frank's attraction to each other is everywhere you look.

Worth a read if you're in the mood for a slice-of-life type of fic that will make you feel mellow and happy.

An Excerpt

He yawned widely and rubbed his eyes. Gerard was out in the lounge, zoning out by staring at the wall. Either he was thinking about something or he was just sleep-deprived and bored. Bob mumbled a good morning, which Gerard didn’t return, and pulled his and Frank’s mugs out of the cabinet.

“You never make me coffee,” Gerard said longingly, and Bob turned around to find him staring down at his—presumably empty—cup.

“You don’t give me blowjobs,” Bob replied, then covered his mouth with his sleeve as he yawned again. It was cold outside his and Frank’s bunk, and he was glad he was wearing his hoodie and sweatpants. Gerard was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, which meant either he hadn’t slept at all, or he’d been up a really long time.

Gerard pouted and raised his eyebrows at Bob. “Well, I could—”

“No, you can’t!” Frank shouted from the bunk. Bob grinned.
