summary: “What do you get out of it?” he asks, giving the cuff a gentle tug.
disclaimer: I don't own these boys, and I don't think they've ever even met in real life.
a/n: This is a little ficlet in my totally self-indulgent Dom/Frank universe. For those on either side of the fandom divide that don't know: this is Frank, and this is Dominic. For the purposes of this ficlet, you should know that Dom almost always wears cuffs, bracelets, or bands around his wrists. I have a fair amount of this universe actually written, but I keep forgetting that I haven't posted it. This ficlet was written for the kinkbingo square of "bondage (wrist restraints)".


( Cuffs )

I love Dom. There's some times in interviews when I just want to say OH SHUT UP, but I get that way with Gerard, too. Anyway, the point of this is that there were more pictures posted yesterday of Dom wearing those skeleton gloves, and in this interview that somebody linked to, he rambles on and on about.... idk, having sex at age 14 (Dom, you slut! I love my canon. For both fandoms.) and stuff, and that he really likes weird animals and has scorpions.

Now I really just want this kind of self-indulgant sort-of-AU where things are basically the same as they are now, with Dom jetting around doing various movies and shows, and MCR on tour and everything like normal, but Dom and Frank have this kind of casual, sometimes-long-distance, long-term relationship. Where Frank buys several pairs of skeleton gloves and Dom steals a couple before Frank cuts off the fingertips. And when they got together, Dom was obsessed with scorpions and that's why Frank got that tattoo. And he doesn't keep spiders anymore because it's the one thing Frank can't get over, and he's still a bit sketchy on the bugs. And Frank and Dom sometimes jam on their guitars at home and Dom is pretty much awful and it doesn't really sink in when Frank tries to teach him things, but they don't even care, they just laugh about it. And Dom, of course, goes out to a few shows, but he likes spending time with all the guys at the studio more than at the crazy venues, and Frank goes to the premiere of the XMen movie with Gerard and Mikey because they're nerds and he meets up with Dom once they're all inside and not in front of the cameras. And they've both gone through dubious facial hair phases, and they both like getting tattoos (Frank, obviously, a little bit more than Dom...) I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO WRITE THIS. SHUT UP AND DEAL.

ETA because I keep thinking of things. All the guys tease Frank a lot for dating the guy from Lord of the Rings, seriously, but they're all petty much geeking out anyway, and Gerard tries really hard not to act like a complete dork when Frank brings Dom over the first time. And Dom hangs out backstage and meets people and networks like crazy, because he's kind of like Mikeyway in that he makes friends with everybody and then remembers them later. And they play pranks together whenever Dom's out on tour with MCR, and sometimes they get Bob and even Gerard to help, because Gerard and Dom get to be really good friends who can geek out over Star Wars until Frank's ears bleed.
