The Pete/Mikey Primer: The Relationship aka “Sweet Little Dudes”
The start definitely had come from Warped 2004, when they had both played the side stages - Teal and Maurice. This is the first time Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance crossed paths to date when they actually began talking of each other. They only vaguely referenced seeing each other's shows, Pete mentioned in an interview later on that he would go into the crowd and be able to watch other bands (like My Chem) perform.
It goes for a while where they didn't mention each other, obviously. Fall Out Boy went into the studio to record and release “From Under the Cork Tree.” But at the time, Pete continues to run his blogs and yammer away on his websites doing the Q&A. While there is no real solid references to Mikey, Pete enjoyed to throw in lines from MCR songs into a few of his answers on the website. A lot of it predates Warped Tour and it's all roughly around the beginning of March into April.
It was at a show in Orlando, Florida at the House of Blues for a Fueled By Ramen show that Mikey was first spotted watching out for Fall Out Boy. This was April 16th of this year. Picture proof too, when he mistakenly ended up in some fan picture on his cellphone in his white denim jacket (which! Will be important in a few moments!).
Seen here in this photo. How do you manage to not notice Mikey till you get your pictures back is kinda beyond me, but hey.
It's about this time that Sweet Little Dudes is brought up in the Q&A (which has it's own section in this!) Sweet Little Dudes is tossed about infrequently, but any mention of Mikey usually drags up the Sweet Little Dudes line. If you follow MCR close, Mikey had been using this phrase prior to Pete to describe people (bandmates/Morrissey) or Gerard mockingly using it to describe Mikey in the WSOU interview.
Q&A Section Highlights
Most of these reference MCR and/or Sweet Little Dudes, chronological going from oldest to newest
Q: We want to have sex with Gerard Way. And I mean full blown pumping his gas while he is handcuffed to the bed sex. Care to hook a couple of sistas up?
A: me and mikey way have a gang called The Sweet Little Dudes. you might see us on warped tour.
---
Q: After your show in Des Moines, during all of the picture taking, squealing, and autograph signing, I took a picture with you (Pete). Upon realizing I was far too tall, I made a comment along the lines of "I am an ogre" or something like that, and you responded in a very sweet way. Anyway, to my question- what is your ideal height for a girl?
A: i have always kind of been a little dude (hence our gang sweet little dudes)- i have no ideal height for a girl. i have dated girls taller and shorter than me. my favorite is the same size so we can share clothes but i'll take a tall lady if she'll spoon me and keep me warm at night.
---
Q: Pete, kisses on the forehead or kisses in the rain?
A: kisses on the forehead are for grandmas and sick kids. in the rain. "im so dirty babe"
---
Q: Pete, whats your take on Jersey?... oh and whos your favorite band ever to come out of jersey?

---
Q: peter, would you ever date someone 13 years younger then you? or at least be friends with them? p.s you are hot and i love you
A: i don't want to go to jail. im little and i think i would get passed around like a pack of cigarettes. but thank you that is really sweet. i don't really want to do pushups in a drag...
---
Q: For real, do you and my chemical romance not get along? If so, this is upsetting
A: no, actually they are some of our best friends, me and mikey have a gang called "the sweet little dudes". that was a joke hence all the use of words with "z" instead of "s"
---
Q: I have a favor to ask. Could you pretty please thank My Chemical Romance for me?! during there set at the tweeter, some asshole punched my friend corey in the ribs w/brass knuckles. gerard noticed him on the floor and the band stopped playing & didnt start again until they were sure he was out safe on a stretcher. anywho... you guys rocked the other day. and the crowd was the best of all the ones i was in throughout the day. everyone was definitly looking out for each other. and it was just... awesomely rad. its tru... theres nothing like driving towards the skyline.

---
Q: did mikey rub it in your face that they were number 1 on trl on friday?
A: me and mikey are in a gang called the sweet little dudes. there is no competition. we are happy when our friends are doing well.
To continue on my little spiel, Pete, as I stated before, had a livejournal. He infrequently updated it after signing to Island, the updates came very sparse usually a month or so between the updating. In his early May update, Pete decided he would list the things that were getting him “hot and bothered” lately.
Two of the things on the list:
1.having a crush on a person I speak to near daily
2.White denim jackets
This was also after Bamboozle festival, which Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance both played in Jersey. Mikey was spotted sidestage for both days for Fall Out Boy or close to the backstage area watching.
Bounce some time over to the beginning of Warped Tour, this is when things start to get fun! The tour reports start out slow with Mikey showing up on side stage and hanging around the Clandestine tent. Then we get the first journal entry from Peter:
Tuesday, June 28, 2005
Amazing new mexico sunset. I'm hanging on a bridge with my friend mikey way from my chem. Its all orange and pink above us. We went to another waterpark again. I love high fives again. Totally back in love. Saw the most amazing movie... I think its called spirited away. Watch it.
Peterpan
Next entry he makes is on July 4th and he closes with hot and miserable but totally in love.
Then came the rolling out of journal entries with veiled lines and just a lot of implications. Ton of journal entries below from the FOB site:

Soooo its been a dramafree summer so far which is amazing. Almost as good as swimming pools and sleepovers. I'm watching the notebook does that make me sucky? Circle y or n. I need to take a shower. Nobody likes a dirty boy.
Friday, July 15, 2005
Though I am over hearing your thoughts on haircuts and pants. I'm over us trying to be perfect tens for your little eyes. We don't care what you think of us. Listen to a song and time your heartbeat. Let it be okay to fall asleep slow tonight. Think about a good friend. Think about god. Think about death. Think about someone elses hand clumsily on your belt in the dark. Think it will be okay.
No more rants
No more poetry
Not tonight.
True love for the believers. Thank you. Keep on l i/o ving

Sometimes when you're feeling this blue the right smile can save you.
posted by: peter
This is taken over from his Fueled by Ramen journal from 7/19/05
wrote you a goodbye note (you just wrote me off) on your arm when you passed out. bestfriends, exfriends- better off as lovers not the other way around. racing through the city in the back of yellow checkered cars. the takeoffs are the worst but the skin from your shoulder to your ear makes it all worth it. and im sorry the way my moods flicker on and off like old light on your porch, but i know you wouldn't have it any other way. sneaking in your window instead of out. the way you hold a cigarette cause you don't know what to do with your hands when we are sitting this close. the way the waists of pants feel better at the ankles. the way you always were my best excuse for calling in sick on everyone else. i miss you.

So there is a lot of implications that came with the way he chose his words. Outpouring from Pete is one thing, then came a lot of tour reports where Mikey had been playing with Fall Out Boy.
From one selected tour report:
Lastly, during Fall Out Boy's set (they were one of the closing bands that night) they dedicated one of the songs to Mikey, who was watching from the side of the stage. Pete said, "This song is about revenge. Right, Mikey? Revenge!" Mikey smiled and nodded, and during "Grand Theft Autumn/Where is Your Boy" he mouthed along to all the words.
Author's own personal experience is Pete calling out Mikey on stage to dedicate the song 'Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today” to “Mikey Revenge.” Also, what he's commonly seen doing now on sporadic dates is dragging Mikey out to play his bass so Pete can take his microphone and climb into the crowd.
Also! There is the entire love for Clandestine Mikey has been sporting since then:
which is the same hoodie shown here
Whether or not they're sharing it or Pete willingly gave Mikey a free Clandestine hoodie depends on what you theorize.
