Dedicated: To
snakevsladder for
the end of the rainbow which is seriously one of the only Pete/Mikey focused stories that doesn't make me want to puke. Not kidding.
ETA Dedication: To
shirasade for inspiring this whole idea in my head by writing one line in a fic.
The Only Boy in the Band is in fact a FOB/PATD genderswap, but is brilliant all the same.
Pairing: Pete/Mikey (You guessed it.)
A/N: I know! An Author's Note before you read it. But this is IMPORTANT. This is not a Pete/Mikey story. It is, but well. Don't expect sex and/or love, ok?
"So like, you're really good-looking and I figure that if I could be gay for anyone, it would be for you." Pete's not exactly looking at Mikey when he says this. He is instead looking at the floor. When Mikey replies, he's not exactly looking at Pete, either.
"Um, okay." And that's it. Strangely enough for Pete.
~~~
They are both breathing heavily and spread out against each other when Pete pulls back. He looks at Mikey and then flicks his eyes downwards.
"So, do you want to..?" Pete waves his hand in the general direction of Mikey's crotch. He watches how Mikey's face changes.
"Um, maybe. No?" Pete doesn't really expect that, but it's ok. He smiles down at his - boyfriend? - friend and rolls away.
"Yeah, me neither." They end up laughing, because there's not much else to do in this situation. And it's ok, because they're still the Sweet Little Dudes. Pete laughs a little harder at the thought.
~~~
Pete doesn't really want to let Mikey go back to New Jersey at the end of Warped. He kind of wants to hold onto his friend's little frame and wrap himself around him like a little spider monkey.
So, he just leaves. Before he goes though, he grabs a tube of lipstick from Gerard's makeup case - lipstick, really? - and scrawls a little note on his arm, that finishes half-way down his chest.
When Mikey wakes up, he sees in the mirror the product of Pete's mind on his skin and maybe, he smiles.
goodbyes are for losers mikes :) and smileys are for dukes and kings... call me when you get back home and tell me what your bed feels like without me in it... you were worth the exploration and maybe i wish that we could have... because well because...
~~~
When Pete gets to the airport, he sees Patrick and Joe curled up on the seats and Andy drinking tea and thinks that maybe that's where he should have been this summer.
He falls into a seat next to Patrick and rests his head and his best friend's shoulder. Patrick just opens an arm up to him and lets Pete fall against his side. They don't talk about it. Not on the plane, not when they get back to Chicago. They just don't talk about it.
~~~
you need your sleep. and it feels exactly the same
'Yeah,' Pete thinks. 'Yeah'
A/N Part 2: So, Pete and Mikey might or might not have had a relationship. But I'm not a Pete/Mikey fan, just because I don't enjoy what people write for them. I know, hypocrite, but I've been meaning to write something like this for a while and drabble challenge made it work.
