great. A family dinner with your grandparents anties and uncles I mean it wouldn’t be a problem if your family was normal it’s fights every family dinner and you are awkward and antisocial and when you found out your uncle you haven’t seen since you where 6 is coming you haven’t wanted to go since.

gerards you uncle he lives far away he’s a single quiet man and an alcoholic that’s all you know you don’t really want to meet him you don’t care for him

the day comes you’re sat in the living room it’s so loud SO FUCKING LOUD. Your parents are talking with your grandparents anties are talking and the only 2 not socialising is you and Gerard.

”he’s weird looking” you think to yourself he’s sat at the other side of the room just watching everyone analysing he’s good at that he can understand people just by glancing into their eyes.

your mom sighs loudly and looks at you pissed off “can’t you just socialise!? God you’re making a mockering out of me and your father we never raised you like this” mom grabs your wrist…she’s always been like this rough and very verbally abusive Gerard watches

later its diner you’re sat next to your mom while your dads across sat next to your grandad although he keeps glaring at you from across the table you hardly look up and you keep quiet Gerard comes in with his dinner and sits on the last free seat right next to you

he’s wearing a white dress shirt and jeans clearly wanting to be slightly smart looking it fits with the heavily Christian family although you hate everything Christian and everything it stands for after coming out and your parents reaction to that…

he’s oddly comforting he smells nice and is calming you
