    Summary

    Frank's lost his parents when he was sixteen and was now a nineteen year old who had to grow up way too fast. He was still struggling to find a job that didn't leave him struggling for money at the end of each month, not only for his sake but also his eight year old sister, Diana.

    Gerard was a young famous artist. No one knew anything about him really except that he was an arrogant rich hermit who had no interest in interacting with anyone beyond selling them his paintings.

    Summary

    “You’re all right,” Frank reassured him. “I had brain worms to begin with.”

    Gerard laughed so hard, Frank felt kind of proud of himself. “I know,” he gasped, wheezing for air. Strands of black-and-teal hair flopped into his face as he gripped the edge of the table for support. “Shit, sorry, I just had a really vivid mental image of what your self portrait would look like.” He gave Frank a sidelong look. “Swearing is definitely okay when it’s just us, right?”

    Frank tried not to think about the familiarity of the words. Just us. “Yeah, duh.” He raised an eyebrow, feeling a smile tug at his lips.

    ***

    When Frank meets Gerard, a 20-year-old art prodigy-turned-TA in his senior year of high school, sparks fly as an unusual friendship is formed. They may have bonded over a mutual, hilarious hatred of Romeo and Juliet, but Frank's not laughing anymore when spring rolls around and Gerard is climbing up a rope ladder to his balcony in the middle of the night. Then Gerard quits his job, citing romantic complications, and the only thing Frank knows is that he knows nothing at all.

    Summary

    Frank is just an inquisitive young adult, with a penchant for politics, and a boyfriend in the loop. Gerard Way is just a congressman with a bright suit and even brighter hair. Frank just can't get enough of the older man and the way he walks, talks, and glances. And when Gerard finally lets Frank in, it unleashes something in both of them that neither would have expected, in ways that neither counted on. But it's all a secret now because, of course, Gerard's a very important man and, of course... Frank's just a kid.

    Summary

    Frank and Gerard were childhood friends. And then they were enemies. Finally, they became strangers. They’d been friends though, and maybe they’d been a little too affectionate, because everyone thought the two of them would get married someday. Before they became enemies, they had even agreed to use each other as a backup plan. If, by the time they both reached their thirtieth year, they hadn’t found someone to marry, they’d marry each other.

    They have thirty three days left.
