One night, you bang on his door, waiting for either him or Mikey to answer, bruises all over you

Mikey opens and lets you in without saying a word.

He then leads you towards his room, where Gerard is doing some finishing touches on a new comic. He's sitting on a chair. he's wearing a black tank top and sweatpants.

he then notices you and immediately goes up to you and hugs you tightly. you can tell right away that he's been crying.
