oh yay, i get cookies now! xd i could officially marry cookies, lol.
anyway, i wouldn't say this story is "dragging" because in my opinion it's going on just smoothly and well (: i like it extremely much, thank you! you write damn well and the plot is interesting, at least so far :D
and i guess that Frank and Phin were giving points to Gerard's looks xd but really, are they blind or something, i would have given him ten :DD
