Beta
Walking
Petey found it easier to take walks with Jimmy or Beatrice because at least they didn’t torment him by pushing him off the path and then casting a backwards glance accompanied by a smirk that made the anger melt away like one particular boy did.
Waltz
Petey’s eyes were wide when he looked to Gary, who was shaking his head at the sight of Trent and Kirby slow dancing near the furnace, thinking they were alone, and all Gary could say was, “I told you.”
Wishes
As if the things Petey thought about before going to sleep would ever come true - but all he wanted was to wake up with Gary still next to him - was that too much to wish for?
Wonder
Gary’s curiosity had been satisfied as his fingers wrapped around Petey’s wrists, hearing the lowest possible pitch that could possibly come out of Petey’s tiny body.
Worry
It wasn’t like Petey to care so much that Gary hadn’t come home that night…but he did have to wonder why he had missed their “date.”
Whimsy
Petey gasped at how much the Neosporin stung his elbow and glared at Gary who could only laugh - if Petey hadn’t looked so happy daydreaming, Gary wouldn’t have had to push him off the side of the sidewalk to get him to come back to reality.
Wasteland
“Fuck,” was all Petey could say the day after his best friend had been taking away as he surveyed the wreckage of the school Gary had left behind.
Whiskey and rum
Petey tried to hide his laughter as Gary insisted, “It’s whiskey and rye,” to Trent, who would constantly change the words to the famous song just to fit his own likings - “That doesn’t even rhyme!”
War
Jimmy would have asked Petey war he’d lost when he saw the bruises and bite marks on his body if the quiet smirk on Gary’s face hadn’t answered the question for him.
Weddings
Petey had always imagined a beautiful, white, Catholic wedding at his church from his priest with his family, but when he looked over at Gary (who was furiously mashing away at buttons on the controller to beat Jimmy in the video game they were playing), he realized that that had changed and it was never going to happen anyway.
Birthday
“I’ve always said the best birthday gift is to be on top.”
Blessing
Petey had even stopped silently praying in his head before he ate anymore - he needed those miracles for something else now.
Bias
Gary had to admit that when he stood up for Petey, he held a certain bias for the boy.
Burning
We’re burning down the highway skyline on the back of a hurricane that started turning when you were young… Petey didn’t listen to mainstream music much, but that line certainly struck his heart when he considered how long he had actually known Gary - and had never seen him act this psychotic.
Breathing
“Keep…breathing…” Gary panted as he feared that he was making Petey take too much - but then Petey’s eyes flew open and he let out the longest breath of air Gary had ever heard, and he knew that Petey was going to be alright.
Breaking
“This is breaking the rules,” Petey said sarcastically as the two boys hid in the closet, watching for the prep to unknowingly open a stink bomb infested locker and then he looked to Gary, whose eyes were drooping as he said, “No - this is breaking the rules,” right before he grabbed the smaller boy’s head and pulled him into the most surprising kiss he had ever experienced.
Belief
It was a long held belief of Petey’s that finding himself underneath Gary like this every night was wrong - it was wrong - but it just didn’t feel that way.
Balloon
Petey laughed at first when he saw Gary’s facial reaction to the birthday balloon he had stuck in his room, but jumped at the sound of it popping, and eventually moped around all day that Gary had to take it that far.
Balcony
“I didn’t even know the school had a balcony,” Petey lamented after hearing Jimmy’s side of the last day of school.
Bane
“Petey Kowalski, you are the bane of my existence.”
Quiet
“The dorm does have quiet hours, you know,” Gary whispered teasingly as Petey gasped loudly under his touch at 2:30 in the morning again.
Quirks
Petey didn’t consider Gary’s bad qualities as personality flaws - they were just his quirks…his harmless little quirks…right?
Question
He wanted to ask, he really did, but the minute Gary walked through the door, Petey’s mouth went dry and he knew he was going to have to man up one of these times, or life was going to continue being Hell for him and it was going to be all his fault.
Quarrel
“Watch the lover’s spat,” Gary whispered as Derby and Bif argued a few feet away, ending with Derby throwing Bif’s books down as Petey laughed, scooting a few inches closer to Gary on the bench.
Quitting
“NO!” Gary cried when Petey threw the cigarettes into the toilet and smirked, “This is how I feel every time I wake up in the morning and you’re gone - like quitting.”
Jump
Petey wrung his hands as he sat on his bed, knowing that this harrowing conversation he was about to have was a huge leap for him and Gary but it really needed to happen.
Jester
Petey felt comforted when Gary introduced Trent to Jimmy as, “Oh, that’s just the school’s village idiot - jester, if you will,” because it meant that he hadn’t meant anything by the term “femme-boy,” right?
Jousting
“I can’t bel-IEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT!” a random nerd shouted during a board game as Petey opened his eyes to look at him, but Gary quickly made him close them again and all he could hear was faint screaming about a horse, a trick, and unfair jousting conditions as Gary’s lips traveled lower and lower.
Jewel
He looked around the crowded auditorium and still, he would never find anybody as special as that boy in the pink shirt - not that he would ever tell anybody that, of course.
Just
It sort of worked that Petey loved following the rules and Gary loved enforcing his own.
Smirk
He never did it under good conditions, but every time he smirked, Petey would melt - but he was getting good at disguising it.
Sorrow
Alcohol had never appealed to Petey before, but with Gary gone and his half full bottle of bourbon lying on the ground, Petey decided to try a new way in drowning his sorrows.
Stupidity
Standing in the terrifying lobby of Happy Volts was the first time Petey realized Gary had never picked on Petey because of Petey’s flaws, but because of his own - and Petey was the only one stupid enough to let him.
Serenade
A drunken Gary was always more fun than a sober one - especially when he insisting on singing Petey to sleep.
Sarcasm
“I love you” - it had been dripping with sarcasm, but Petey knew that Gary had meant it anyway - and what terrified Gary was that he knew it, too.
Sordid
This was definitely one of the…odder situations Petey had found himself in, he realized as he looked around the principal’s office the day after Gary had been taken to Happy Volts.
Soliloquy
Gary thought that if he were a pansy, he would actually recite his inner monologue as he gazed up at the stars that night that Petey was at home, but instead he just let the static from the radio say it for him.
Sojourn
This was a place Gary had never visited before, and he thought it was somewhere between fear and regret, but when he saw Petey at his door, he realized that trip was short-lived because he still had the one person he needed more than anything in his life and that was all that mattered.
Share
Since sharing had never been something Gary was good at, he growled like a dog when Trent mentioned his intention to try and see if that little pink-shirted kid would be easily tempted, and Trent had never tried anything funny with him.
Solitary
The carnival was the once place Gary would go to in order to reflect, so the day that Petey bound up to him, yelling that it was reopened, he was happy that they had their special place back, but upset he had just lost his only solitary spot.
Nowhere
“I don’t understand why you care so much,” Jimmy told Petey as he worried about the fact that Gary was nowhere to be found, “I’m sure he can handle himself on his own.”
Neutral
“I am notgetting involved,” Petey told his two friends as they tried to involve him in their argument about who had fairly won that time on Mario Kart.
Nuance
Today was different than yesterday; it was subtle, but Petey could see in Gary’s eyes that the simplest things could very easily change his entire life from here on out.
Near
It wasn’t often that Petey would hear those sweet nothings escape Gary’s lips, so when he hugged him, whispering, “I need you near me…always,” he sighed and knew he’d never forget that moment.
Natural
Petey had always hated the protests his Catholic friends had been a part of - and now, looking at the naked Gary laying next to him, he understand why he felt like it was so natural to him.
Horizon
It had almost been a good night as Petey and Gary sat in silence, watching the sun go down, until Gary stood up and said, “This is way to gay - let’s go home.”
Valiant
“And a valiant effort on Mr. Hopkins’ part, but not valiant enough,” Gary proclaimed as Petey smiled, knowing that the money Gary ripped from Jimmy’s hands were going to be spent on him.
Virtuous
If he ever tried to drag Gary into a Catholic church…he’d probably burst into flames.
Victory
When Gary woke up the morning after and realized upon seeing Petey next to him what he had finally done, he suddenly understood why those nerds got so excited when they won their stupid board games.
Defeat
When Petey woke up the morning after and realized upon seeing that Gary was not next to him, he suddenly understood what bothered the nerds so much when they lost their stupid board games.
