Growing up in the Lynch household was not something that was easy. The anger, the pain and the constant fear to do anything. Food was a luxury, money was scarce and voices were loud. Joey worked tirelessly to scrape enough money to get the family through the month, even if mam worked two jobs, dad took it all and pissed it up the wall with alcohol.

The only saving grace was Gerard, a blonde lovable rugby lad that turned your world in its head. You didn’t think that you would ever be able to meet someone, especially with your dad, but he proved everything wrong. Shannon, your younger sister, had been moved to Tommen, and thrust into the world of Gerard and his friends.

You work at Biddies, where the rugby lads often drink after their games, so you met all of the lads before Shannon moved school. Gerard always caught your eye, always flirted but you always laughed it off, only sometimes flirting back.

You were out for a drive with Joey and Aoife when they saw Johnny leaning against the chipper, stuffing his face and very clearly drunk. They manoeuvred him to the car to take him home but Joey slammed the breaks on and you look up to see Gerard on the hood on the car and your heart lurches.

Gerard is going to meet Joey. Joey is going to meet Gerard.

oh jesus

“What the fuck? Get off my car asshole" Joey says in confusion

"You're stealing my centre, give him back!" Gerard shouts before looking at Johnny in the back of the car "Hey cap. I've been looking everywhere for you"

"And this clown is?" Joey asks turning slightly to look back Johnny

"He's my flanker, Gibs" Johnny explains "What the fuck are you doing, lad? You're supposed to be gone home with Hughie"

"The guards pulled him for tax and insurance" Gerard says

"He's above board" Johnny argued back

"He looked at me Johnny. Got his big fucking torch right in my eyes. I panicked and jumped out the car. I've been running around town ever since. I tried calling you but you kept cutting me off" Gerard says

"You're king clit?" Johnny says

"Oh yeah I forgot about that" Gerard laughs

"What's Hughie down as?" Johnny asks

"Ginger pubes" Gerard says, his smile widening

"He's blond" Johnny says confused

"His girlfriend isn't" Gerard laughs as my eyebrows furrow

"What do you want me to do with him?" Joey sighs looking at Johnny

"I should probably take him back to my place or a secure hospital" Johnny says as Aofie climbs out the car and pulls the seat forward as Gerard launches himself into the back

"Fuck! Shit man" Johnny groans and shoves Gerard to the middle seat, Gerard pressed against your side.

"Did I get your dick? I'll get some ice for your balls when we get home" Gerard says slapping Johnny's shoulder

"I hope there's not any more of you, the cars run down in the back" Joey grumbles as Aoife climbs back into the car

"Sorry" Johnny mutters

"It's his fault, fat bastard" Gerard says pointing at Johnny "Is your dick okay man? I'm really sorry about that. I hope I didn't squash your balls"

"Go fuck yourself Gerard" Johnny grumbles

"Wow, language man. There's a girl in the front" Gerard laughs

"And one next to you" Johnny says as Gerard looks over to see you, his pupils darkening as his eyes scanned your face and a smile pulls onto his lips.

"Johnny" he says hitting Johnny's arm and looking at him "I'm still in love"

"Like fuck you are, eyes off my sister" Joey scowls from the front seat "What do you mean still?"
