It's been a few days since Gerard posted his first video, and he's pretty happy with the amount of subscribers he has now. He has a whole 10 subscribers. For only posting one shitty video, Gerard's pretty impressed.

Since it's been a few days, Gerard has been trying to come up with his next video idea. It's not that he doesn't have any ideas, the problem is he has way too many. So, he had called Mikey over to bounce ideas off him.

While Gerard was putting on a pot of coffee, he heard his front door open and his brothers loud voice from the hallway.

"What's up, fucker?"

"Jesus Christ, Mikey. I just got up and haven't had coffee yet. Don't add to the headache." Gerard tells him, rubbing his head in soothing circles.

"You just woke up? What the hell, Gee. It's 3pm." Mikey replies.

"Ugh I know, I really should've slept In more." He mumbles back as he pulls two coffee mugs out of the cabinet. "Want a mug?" Gerard asks.

Mikey rolls his eyes at his brother but nods his head at the mention of coffee. He sits on the couch as he waits for his brother to finish up.

"Alright, so I want to post my next video but I can't decide what to record. I have so many ideas but what if they all suck?" Gerard says to Mikey, while handing him his coffee and settling into to the couch.

"Well what are your top picks as of right now?" Mikey asks him, as he tries to cool down his coffee to a drinkable temperature.

"I've been thinking about doing either a speed painting of Bowie, doing my makeup to look like Bowie, or covering a Bowie song. Eventually I want to post all of them." Gerard answers.

"As much as everyone loves David Bowie you should probably spread out when you post those videos pretty far. I'm not saying don't do all of them but people are gonna think you're profiting off of the fans he has, and don't know how to earn your own, if that's all your doing when you start up your channel." Mikey tells him honestly.

Gerard hadn't thought about that, but Mikey made a good point. If he was going to make a name for himself it should be by his own talents, not becoming a famous fanboy to gain subscribers and views.

"Hmm, you're right. I think I want to do the painting first, I haven't painted in so long and I'm really starting to miss it." Gerard sighs dreamily.

"You invited me over for help, but you've got this figured out. Don't stress so much, Gee." Mikey replies.

"Thanks, Mikes. Sorry for the wasted trip. I've just wanted to do this for so long that I'm scared shitless I'm going to screw it up." Gerard tells him honestly.

"Oh shut up, brother. You're going to do great, believe in yourself for once. Okay? And, shockingly enough I can actually tolerate spending time with you." Mikey responds with a fond eye roll.

Gerard smiles at his brother, thankful they're as close as they are. Mikey and him spend the rest of the evening drinking coffee, watching She-Ra, and catching up as if they hadn't seen each other just two days earlier.

Around 1am Mikey decided that he was too tired to drive, and headed to Gerard's guest room to get a few hours of sleep before work. While Gerard decided to stay in the living room and browse through YouTube.

While he looked through different David Bowie interviews that he'd been using as inspiration for the vibe of his painting, a cover gets recommended to him.

"Life on Mars? Cover by frankieromustdie. What the fuck kind of name is that?" Gerard giggled to himself.

He studied the thumbnail of a beautifully lit night sky for a few seconds before clicking on it. Gerard's always been a sucker for covers (and Bowie obviously), he loves hearing artists putting their spin on a classic.

When the video started playing, Gerard's jaw dropped. This man, Frank, is stunning. Shaggy black hair that curls under his neck, arms covered in tattoos, piercings, and gorgeous eyes. While Gerard was recovering from seeing such a beautiful human, Frank smiled and started playing.

"Holy shit." Gerard breathed out, as he watched Frank play and sing with an incredible amount of passion.

Once the video finished, Gerard realized Frank didn't have an intro or an outro. But, with talent like that he didn't necessarily need one. He clicked the description of Frank's video to see if he had any social media. Gerard found his Instagram and decided to follow him, because he may have another YouTube crush to add to the list next to ImAllexx and Miles McKenna.

After he may or may not have stalked Frank's Instagram, Gerard learned a few things: Frank owns a million dogs, is gay, and says rad an unhealthy amount. Shaking his head at how fast he went from a casual viewer to fanboy, he closed out of the app and decided to go through some more of Frank's covers. All of the thumbnails are stunning photos of what seem like random things, but still beautiful nonetheless.

Deciding he was going to binge Frank's videos, Gerard went to his bed and got comfortable. He hit subscribe and watched hours worth of content that Frank had posted. Gerard saw that he had 6k subscribers, which isn't a lot in the YouTube world, but they all seem to be very loyal. He watched video after video, until he could barely hold his eyes open. Finally he gave in and let Frank's voice lull him to sleep.
