That would be great!!! And you are not annoying. I have nothing to do because I'm waiting for Christmas dinner and then I come across this and I'm surprised. I just thought that you changed the summary again, but when I saw that you didn't I had to come and see this. I think this idea is wonderful! I love overprotective Gerard, but if he is too overprotective that'll make you want to strangle him or something. I bet it'll be like he doesn't want Mikey to be with anybody, like they're not good enough for him. Gerard has gotten better and is loving and caring, but if he even THINKS to himself that Pete is not good enough then I will find a way into the story and say something along the lines of "You and your emotional problems are not fit enough to be deciding who Mikey should be with. It took someone who Mikey didn't even know to make Mikey realize that he wasn't worthless, and now you think you've got some sort of right to judge who is a good person for Mikey to be with." Yes, I know Gerard isn't so bad now, and he is genuinely trying, but I know how this Gerard acts, and I am not too fond of him. That's a good thing though, it means that you've developed such an attitude about this character that you've gotten people to feel something about them. I know I sound creepy, just ignore that and pretend that this is a normal comment. Anyway, if there is Frikey it should be that Mikey is already over what happened and Frank is the one that is thinking about Mikey in a way that involves Frikey. Mikey has suffered too long to think about Frank like that. Well, I don't really mean that and this is your story so you decide what the characters go through. There is no doubt in my mind that your decision will be shocking but magnificent nonetheless. I hope I haven't offended you or anything, and if I have I apologize greatly. I know some people would be like " Who does this girl think she is, telling me what to do with my story. If she wanted to write it she shouldn't thought of it first." an then they'd mutter to themselves "Stupid girl. Thinking she could go around telling people what to do." and then they'd curse me out a bit. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, I'm just voicing my opinions which do not have to be taken seriously and do not really need to be taken into consideration at all. It just feels nice to know that they are out there. Anyway, this is a wonderful idea and I hope you have a happy holiday.

I'm glad that you think this idea is alright and relieved that you don't find me annoying! :P
I'm pleased that you like the idea; I love writing Gerard as overprotective (as you can probably tell) and I'm looking forward to writing about his reaction to his baby brother (who's gone through hell) having his first boyfriend. If I were Pete I'd start running. I'm thinking if writing it so that Pete is naturally flirty (but by no means nasty or a cheat) and Gerard not liking it a bit/just not liking Pete at all purely because he's with Mikey and Gerard really doesn't want Mikey to end up hurt. Well, we all know how well that worked last time...
I completely agree with your thoughts on Frikey, I doubt that it will come from Mikey and it won't play a huge role in the storyline (if included at all). I don't think that Frikey as a proper pairing in this would work; I want Frank and Mikey to be best friends and for it to not be awkward between them. However, I might have Frank think a little about his feelings for Mikey at some point in the story. I dunno. But thanks for helping me with that, I wasn't sure about the Frikey element but you've helped me to think it through.
You haven't offended me at all, in any way; in fact you've helped me out a lot and been very nice about my ideas. Exactly the opposite of offensive; thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my author's note, it really does mean a lot that you'd take the time to comment!
Thank you very much for helping me and have a merry Xmas!! :D
