hi there!! it’s plague <3 i haven’t been able to post and i severely apologize!! i had so much going on, but i have the chance to now! ANYWAY, i hope you enjoy my first fic here!! >_<
gerard looked at himself in the mirror, he posed, and he posed, and he posed. they had just gotten their cheerleader costume and they put it on to see how it looked. he didn’t know how it looked, they pliked it for sure, but he wasn’t sure if it actually looked good on them.
“..mikey, does this look good?” gerard inquired as he turned to his brother. mikey looked up from his phone with a raised brow, “yeah, of course gee! it looks cute, plus it’s your style.” mikey complimented, “i mean, you look preppy. which is the look right?”
“i mean of course a cheerleader is preppy, mikey. but it’s a little more 1950’s kinda deal, like my nurse outfit.” they noted as they walked over to the mini fridge to grab a can of colombian coffee. “hey, isn’t that your third can of that coffee?” mikey commented. “oh come on, it’s not like it’s gonna kill me.. this’ll be my last one, i promise.” gerard was right about to pop it open, “gee, get some water instead.” mikey used that disappointed voice on them, gerard sighed before placing it back and grabbing a bottle of water instead. “where are the other two?”
“no clue, i think they went to get some sweets when you announced you’re getting dressed.” mikey looked back at his phone as he grabbed his can of bubbly and took a sip, gerard scrunched up his nose. mikey glanced up and held in a laugh, “oh don’t give me that look, i mean yeah they barely have flavor but come on.” mikey sighed out a laugh. “i can’t believe i didn’t raise you on good taste.” gerard shook their head as they opened the cap and chug a bit, mostly out of nervousness. “it’s alright gee, the fans are gonna love it. genuinely.” mikey reassured him, “i know… i mean i know, but there is still that anxiety..” gerard looked back at themself in the mirror, “what if this doesn't work as well as i hoped?”
“well that's silly.” gerard and mikey jumped as they turned to the door, mikey scowled at the cocky smile frank wore. ray looked just as done, but gave gerard a smile when he looked at him. “as frank said, that is silly, you look great and the fans will think the same!” the tallest member spoke up, gerard looked back at the mirror and smiled. “well let's do this then!” gerard finally decided.
♬
gerard was looking at the band on stage from behind the curtain, they loved their performance. they could hear the crowd shouting when the band called out for my chemical romance, gerard felt their stomach twist. was it anxiety? was it excitement?
“you did incredible!” gerard exclaimed to the frontman, “oh, thanks man! i really appreciate that! you’re gonna be incredible as well,” the frontman began to walk away with his bandmates, “by the way, awesome look on you!” gerard stood there as he walked away before letting a smile grow.
“are you ready?” ray inquired to gerard as they cleaners began to brush off the stage, he looked over at ray before looking out to the crowd, full stadium. “y… yeah, i’m ready.” gerard agreed, ray smiled before patting his dear friend’s back. gerard smiled back as the other two began to get prepared by tampering with their guitars, ray grabbed his guitar and looked out. gerard took a breath in before exhaling.
”alright, let’s do this.”

Okay so I haven’t been able to find this anywhere, I wanna make a record of everything that’s been painted on the bass drum at every show. I’m starting with North America and the ones I can easily find. If you can reblog and add any that are missing (or any that haven't happened yet as of first posting), that would be a big help! And any photos. I’ll make a separate post for Europe research and then a master post when I have them all!
EDIT: There's a tweet thread for all of these that can be found here and includes digital line art of every drum! thank you to @thatkindagirl for letting me know! There's also a list and lineart for all the Europe stops here.
