This was so amazing!!! I have missed so much, but I'm so glad to be back. I hope to never be gone for that long again. I suffer from withdrawal when I don't read good fanfiction. I'm just kidding. Well, sort of. Anyway, this was a marvelous chapter. I know Frank's true feelings were revealed in earlier chapters, but he's only just put a name to it, though he probably already knew it. He didn't want to admit it in fear of his friends finding out and being made fun of, but I'm glad that in this chapter he seems to have forgotten about them. Mikey is so much more important to him than those jerks he was stupid enough to call "friends" and now that he has Mikey, he probably won't be needing them to make him feel important. Or should I say hopefully? You can't tell what Frank's going to do. Is he going to stay with Mikey, or will he choose his friends? Will he keep Mikey safe, or will he stay in the bathroom like he did last time? I think that's what I like about him here. That element of unpredictability really keeps the readers on their toes. You kind of have to expect the unexpected with this story, but even when something surprising happens, you think 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe it!!!' Those things are what make good writing. I totally had one of those 'I can't believe it!' moments when I read the part when Frank kissed Mikey. I was kind of like "Finally!!!" But when Frank was questioning the kiss I was like "Please don't let anything bad happen!" I'm so glad it didn't. Anyway, I really wonder what will happen between them now. Frank has finally kissed the lips that have been haunting him for what seems like the longest time, and obviously Mikey was happy about it, but will there be anything more? And what will Gerard say? So many questions!!! I can't wait to read more to find out all the answers. I really liked that Mikey had a panic attack. I know it sounds weird, but when he had his attack he was cared for in the cutest way possible. Frank just wants to protect him, and I'm a huge fan of protective Frank. I really liked that Frank can be himself around Mikey. Not the one that he is at school, but the one that's hiding underneath that one. The one that accepts that people are different and probably prefers the different ones anyway. This one can't stand his "friends" and the other people at his school because they're all the same. There's nothing special about them, but Mikey is...different. And Frank likes him. I just wonder if he'll still like him at school. I thought this chapter was amazing!!! Well, I liked all the chapters that I haven't reviewed. Anyway, this was so great and you have a real talent for writing. I absolutely 100% love this. Great job!!!

Thank you very much; I'm really relieved that you think this is alright, I'm definitely struggling with this story more than I have with anything else that I have written.
I think that you're definitely right to say 'hopefully'. I haven't planned that far ahead so things might not be this nice for Mikey at school...
I'm glad that you think this is unpredictable, I'm usually really cliched or obvious so to hear that this is keeping you on you toes is really cool.
I know what you mean about liking the panic attack; I kinda liked writing it because I love hurt Mikeys and protective Franks more than anything.
Thank you soooooo much for taking the time to leave such a kind and detailed review! :)
