This is great! I know I say this every time, but I really like this. Your writing is so descriptive and it really allows the reader to create a picture. I like how once Mikey screams it's almost as if Frank forgets about the kiss and all that is on his mind is helping Mikey. I also really like this line. " My idea of suffering before meeting Mikey Way was delightfully pleasant compared to what it is now." It really shows how much it means to have this adorable stuttering kid that doesn't deserve what was given to him. It kinda makes me think Frank is feeling bad or something because he sees what Mikey has gone through and compares it to what happened in his own life, and Frank's suffering, in his opinion, just isn't as bad as Mikey's. I like how Frank understands that some things are just supposed to be sorted out through family, but finally decides that it's okay to go and help. Also, in the part where Gerard is trying to shake Mikey awake, he's yelling at Gerard to stop, and it's almost as if he thinks Mikey's going to get hurt again, and he can't live through that again. It's like he's horrified of seeing Mikey hurt or upset or anything like that. This is so well written, and I really love the way that this was written out. I always look forward to reading your writing.

Thank you very much!
I'm glad that you liked it and got it; I was kinda worried that it didn't make much sense/was boring/was confusing because of how Frank wanted to let Gerard sort it, but your review has really reassured me!
Thank you soooo much for taking the time to do such a detailed, lovely review - I always enjoy reading your reviews, they help me write. Thanks again! :)
