    Summary

    A flyer pinned to the community bulletin board at Frank's favorite dive bar reads:

    TATTOO TAP-OUT. $350, ARTIST'S CHOICE. I'LL INK YOU 'TIL YOU CRY. (8 HRS MAX). SHOW UP @ MXRDER SCENE TATTOO & LET'S DO THIS.

    He tears it off the board and stumbles outside with a half-empty Schlitz. To drive home sober is but a suggestion.

    ***

    OR, a weird middle-ground between a bottle episode and a dialogue study, in which Gerard Way is a tattoo artist and Frank Iero is an ink fiend willing to take eight hours under a needle in exchange for... well, he isn't sure.

    Spanning a year's worth of tattoo appointments-- trending toward mutual therapy sessions-- and the occasional adventure, Frank and Gerard bond over croquet teams, missing cats, deep fears, and the belief that a city can shatter a heart, but the right person can put it back together again.

    Summary

    He wishes he had an easier time with it like it seems everyone else does ... but Gerard never had that. He pinches the fat of his stomach, where his belly button is pressed together, and wishes, just wishes, that he could get rid of it all, that he could look like someone else, tight skin and muscle. ... Gerard wishes he could look more like that, someone more desirable, someone with a body more deserving of love.

    Summary

    The name is something ridiculous and vaguely French sounding, and the window displays are dark and artistic, flashing the kind of wares that Frank would normally have no reason to be looking at, except that he can’t stop looking.

    He’s seen the way that Gerard looks at shops like these. They spend a lot of time in malls on the road, and he’s seen it enough to get an idea of the kinds of things Gerard likes. That, along with how the other man reacts when Frank calls him things like pretty, gorgeous, my girl.

    This is also the kind of thing that’ll get Frank slapped if he’s wrong about it. But the dress in the shop window has him willing to take that risk.
