This is their song, and not just because I'm an unashamed sap, but rather because they actually don't have anybody else, and to say they have trust issues is understating matters. Lyn-Z moved out when she was seventeen, and lived by herself until she met Gerard, whose little brother had run away to Gotham. Gerard had followed, but he hadn't found Mikey (side note: Mikey is okay). He had, however, found Lyn-Z, and so they shared a tiny shoebox apartment and got through the last year of high school together.
Three months into the year, Bob transferred to their school. He was quiet, sometimes viciously angry and prone to fights, but Gerard saw him help out in the kindergarten (it was a K-12) and resolved to figure out what this kid was really like. It took him a month to even get Bob talking to him, even with Lyn-Z helping, but finally they got Bob to smile at their ridiculousness, and then, then--his smile was really something, you know?
That night, curled up on the bed, Lyn-Z held onto Gerard tightly and said, face buried in his hair, "Gee, I want him too, I can't, he's just--"
And Gerard nodded, "I know, I know."
It felt too big for them, this feeling that maybe they were supposed to be three instead of two, maybe, maybe. But they figured it out.
