It is absolutely quiet for a moment, and then, “What the fuck,” Gerard says, and hits Bert’s arm. “I thought you were, like, cheating on me with some other trans girl and was asking for advice on how to sweet talk her!” Bert still looks horrified. “What I think Gerard is trying to say is that, we were expecting something terrible, but it’s actually something that’s totally fine and normal.” Bert still looks horrified, so Frank adds, “Awesome, even!” “Yeah, well,” Bert says, and doesn’t say anything else.

They locate the Circle of Life (as the ferris wheel has apparently been deemed), and get about halfway through the line, when they realize there’s a problem. “Who the fuck is gonna sit in the middle?” Bert asks. “Clearly me, since, you know, I’m dating both of you,” Gerard says, quite sure of themself. “Yeah, but Frank likes me more,” Bert says, and then Frank gives him a high five behind Gerard’s back.

Gerard sighs a very put-upon sigh but gently puts Bert’s foot down before smiling to himself. So, having two boyfriends: weird, but… good-weird. “I still might kick you,” Bert says after a few moments of silence, because Bert always has to have the last word. Yeah, Gerard thinks. Definitely good-weird.

“Do you know what polyamory is?” Frank asks, and Gerard shakes her head. “So, like, okay. Polyamory is basically a relationship that involves more than two people. Like, an open relationship and stuff. It can be, like, a relationship where three or more people all love each other, or a relationship that involves multiple people but not everyone in the relationship is involved romantically with each other.” He stops here, with this look on his face like he’s very proud of himself.

When the band gets back together, the nonsensical hate mail Patrick gets more than doubles. It goes from the occasional "you can't just be neither" message to long, elaborate reasons as to why they aren't allowed to exist.

But what really sucked, was their birthday was coming up, and while they loved Gee and all her friends, it also was a reminder of the fact that their old best friend now lived on the other side of the country. Before he had moved, he always would do something incredible on Bert's birthday, like buying them a skateboard or their favorite movie or a bag of pretzels, it was like he knew that Bert always got depressed around their birthday, so he had to make it extra special, so they wouldn't be sad. Bert's parents never understood why all his gifts meant so much, but that's because they didn't get their friendship. They didn't get Bert, didn't understand how wonderful it was to get something as small as a bag of pretzels, just because the giver knew it'd make them smile.

Gee grabbed Bert's face and turned it in the direction she was looking, saying, “Look! That game! You can win a giant teddy bear! Bert, I’m gonna win that for you, even if it kills me.” “Please don't die for a teddy bear.”

You’re not a hateful person, you really aren’t, but you’re, like, ninety percent sure you hate Brendon Urie. He’s just such a fucking douche bag and you can’t stand him. He’s egotistical, he’s loud, he’s annoying, he talks too much and runs his mouth, and his fucking nose pisses you off.
