If your heart stops beating

Gerard has a problem. The band knows that. They've tried to help him, but nothing seems to work. Frank is getting fed up, but he still can't manage to stop Gerard getting drunk nearly every night.

This is set before the Black Parade, starting in 2004.

This is NOT a Frerard. There is no real yaoi in this story. The relationship Gerard and Frank have is one of best friends. Don't look at their playfighting and tell me that's too intimate to be just friends. I'll bash your face in. Joking, joking.
But seriously. It's not yaoi.
