Gerard Way was raised in a very strict home. Curfew, rules, the occasional beating; everything Gerard fought his whole life to break. Frank Iero was raised very much the opposite. No rules, no hardships, oh, and no parents. They were too busy working to pay any mind to their son, who fell into alchoholism to deal with it. That's when he meets soon-to-be graduated Gerard. What drives them might be their love of dark hair, darker music, or their love of each other. But in any case they meet up so well that it works. Until their pasts get in the way, or, perhaps, is it their futures?
