Dancing in the Crowd for
emmaheartscakeSOMEONE SHOULD WRITE ME EIGHT THOUSAND PETE/BRENDON FICS RIGHT THE FUCK NOWWWWWW. I love them so much it is absolutely ridiculous. But, seriously, every time I look for Pete/Brendon it is ANGST. I do not understand this! Where does it come from? In what universe do these two seem like they would be anything other than total dorkfaces? I LEGIT DON'T GET IT.
This is what happened:
Brendon's always bouncing off the walls when he gets off stage, always wanting to go back, do another encore, keep going until he drops from exhaustion. Pete knows the feeling, but it doesn't get it every time he comes off the stage. It's usually at the start of tours or when they play in smaller venues. Pete is waiting in the wings for Brendon to come off stage and as usual, he's more energetic than he had been when he'd got off stage. He's also sweating and he smells rather less like the rose he had before going on. He jumps almost straight into Pete's arms and Pete twirls them both around until he's dizzy.
"Amazing, Bren, amazing." He whispers as quietly as possible amongst all the noise, after he's stopped spinning. Brendon's legs are wrapped around his waist and he pushes his nose into Pete's hair. Brendon drops his legs and Pete turns his head into his shoulder. Brendon pulls back and grins at Pete, before shouting "Race you!" and running off towards the dressing room. Pete huffs and puffs along behind him, whilst Brendon is hugging the others and running off once again. They make it back to the dressing room before the others, but are quickly joined by them, because they don't even shut the door. Pete flops down onto the couch and watches Brendon dance around the room. Ian and Dallon seem amused by it, but Spencer just smiles knowingly. Other than Pete, Spencer is the only one that Brendon attempts to dance with, which isn't a sign of anything other than the fact that Pete's a jealous boyfriend.
Eventually, Pete gets bored of watching Brendon and decides that ballroom dancing is the best way of getting rid of all the extra energy. They've tried sex before now, but it's always ended in bruises and disappointment. They dance around the room, tripping over things as they go and at one point, Dallon starts filming the two of them. It'll end up on the internet and give some fan girls heart-attacks, but that doesn't matter. They've done worse than this and no-one's more than raised an eyebrow. There's certainly not been any Perez Posts about them.
It stops when Pete actually falls over the table and Brendon slumps down next to him, laughing. They stay half-sitting against the couch and it's moments like these that Pete honestly sticks around for. Brendon's head rests against his shoulder and he wraps both his hands around one of Brendon's. It's still clammy and Brendon absolutely will be having a shower when they get home, but that fine by Pete. He has a walk-in shower and Pete likes to use it to the best of his advantage. But for now, he's content to sit with Brendon and watch the others talk.
