Settling Petes ongoing fear of the weekend, Mikey does actually show up on time at the park which is a massive load off of their shoulders, hair a mess and out of breath from his own fear of being late and leaving Pete thinking that he had ditched them. Pete was never more glad, not only for the sake that they didn't want to be ditched on a date but also because Ryan and Dallon were going to handle the situation if Mikey hadn't turned off.

As if either one of them could even punch a baby, but it's sweet of them to still think they could beat up Mikey Way. Bless their hearts.

"Aliens Vs Predator? You are having a fucking laugh, right?"

"Requiem."Mikey finishes the rest of the lost title, pulling open the door of the movie theatre."You said you love to make fun of stupid films, this is bound to be the stupidest film to ever be made."

"Okay I mean, you're probably right but it's going to destroy both the Alien and Predator franchise for me and I don't think I will be able to forgive you for a serious blow to my childhood."Pete holds their chest dramatically as if it pains them even to think about the destruction of their childhood film franchises.

The movie theatre is far from being busy and what else do you expect from it being a Monday Evening. Shamelessly, Pete has to admit that they chose the date for a Monday Evening to make sure that coming across someone they they knew wouldn't be a problem. It's not like Pete is embarrassed ( because if anything, Mikey should be the one that feels embarrassed ) but people talk, and Pete has enough people already talking about them.

"Would popcorn help?"

"Hmm, maybe."Pete teases just lightly, following into a comfortable step beside Mikey who is fishing out his wallet from his back pocket. It's a worn brown leather, creased down the spine and marked with his initials in the top corner."I'm kidding, I can pay for my own popcorn."

"This is a date, I'll pay."Mikey is insisting.

"Mikey, you already paid for those horrible, degrading movie tickets. I'll pay for the popcorn."Pete gives Mikey this sort of hard glare, one that Ryan and Dallon are almost immune to. It's one of their many dangerous facial expressions and Pete can practically feel the way that Mikey tenses up and realises that he's treading on very thin ice.

"What's this insistence of paying for popcorn? Do you think I don't have money, because I do."

"I never said that?"But did they imply it, because sometimes Pete does things that their not even aware of, like how their mouth can be running a guy off like he's the next worse thing since Hitler but their body is causal, flirty in a way with soft touches. It's an unbearable habit that Pete has and it gets them in trouble often enough that it's the reason why the amount of friends that Pete has can be counted on a single hand.

"No you didn't, but you're acting like it."Mikey's shoulders are squared in defence, straightened up to his full height and it's almost frightening of just how much taller that he is compared to Pete. The look on his face is almost thunderous that it has Pete taking a step back.

"Mikey, chill."Pete is holding a hand out in defence, in a form that tells Mikey to back down."I'm trying to be considerate, you paid for the tickets, I'm paying for the food and drinks. It's only fair on both of us, you idiot."

Because Pete knows an argument bait when they see one, it's their go to attempt of trying to start an argument because if there's one thing that Pete likes, it's to not only start an argument, but win one as well.

"Just take your popcorn before you ruin this date."Pete says in a joking matter because he isn't fond to let something this stupid ruin their date.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just, um, a year or so, rumours started circling about money problems in my family and ever since then, people trying to pay for thing for me has been really touchy."Mikey says sheepishly, trudging along beside Pete like like a dog that has just been shouted at, usually odd pale cheeks now a roaring red in embarrassment that Pete finds pretty endearing.

"I get it, don't worry."They don't get it of course, because Pete was born into money and will probably die into money with the way that their parents constantly fund all of their outrageous schemes and fondness for spending money on bass guitars and pre-ripped jeans.

And guiltily enough, Pete already knew of the rumours before Mikey brought it up but that is not the reason why they bought the popcorn and drinks. News spreads fast in high school, especially when your friends are the worlds biggest gossipers and can't keep their nose out of anyone's business.

The movie is, well, crap to say the least and Pete has to give Mikey props on being able to pick a film that makes them gasp and lean to the side to whisper a cunning joke or a jab at the director for their embarrassing mistake like filming. And Mikey, in true gentleman fashion, is in just as much of a laughing mess that Pete is in which makes it all the more brilliant of how smooth that their date is going.

"Do you mind? Some people are trying to watch the film."

"I get you, I'm trying to watch the film too but the film itself is making it incredibly difficult to enjoy."Pete replies in a voice that Ryan calls the 'I would have sympathy for you but I don't have the empathy' voice, a hand placed on their chest and a forming out on those lips.

"You're making it difficult to enjoy."The man is pointing out, much older than Pete or Mikey and on his own in the row in front of them.

"Look, if you came to see a film called Alien Vs Predator-"

"- Requiem -"Mikey chips in quietly.

"- I'm pretty sure you would have been expecting some lame ass, like myself, to be sitting in the back of the theatre voicing their opinions on it. That's a no brainer."Pete is flashing them a pretty, bitchy sort of smile, full of teeth and making the corner of their hazel eyes crinkle in a way that Mikey finds adorable.

"I'm getting security."

"You do that."Pete watches sweetly as the man gets up from his seat and proceeds to leave the theatre to get a manager or security of some sort.

"You're a bitch, you know that?"Mikey laughs, a handful of popcorn in their mouth."And you're going to get us kicked out."

"The movie is lame anyway,"Pete smiles, taking a handful of popcorn and stuffing it into their mouth, talking with their mouth full."Lets go."

"Where?"

"Anywhere."Pete is grabbing Mikey's hand and yanking him up from his seat, dragging the teen after them as they sneak past the raging man and the theatre manager in the lobby, giggling away to themselves.

The weather outside is chilly for an autumn evening but neither of them mind as Pete drags Mikey across the road and into the large park, street lamps glowing an odd shade of orange and lighting their way around the path, hands interlocked and swinging inbetween them as they walk in the chilly weather.

"So tell me,"Pete starts, swinging their hands forward and backwards."Why'd you avoid me all weekend?"

"I didn't avoid you-"

Pete give him a hard glare, and even in the dim orange lights of the parks lamps, Mikey still feels a dangerous sort of chill go down his spine.

"Okay, maybe I was avoiding you, but for good reason!"Mikey tries to defend himself, not meeting Petes eyes as they walk, his cheeks tinted a cute shade of pink and over the bridge of his nose, hiding behind his rectangle shaped glasses."When you left on Friday night, my head was spinning because I've never, um, I've never been on a date before? And I scared, I guess, because you're like really beautiful?"

"Beautiful?"Pete raises an eyebrow at Mikey, cheeks tinted a rose pink in embarrassment? Bashfulness?

"Is that a bad word?"Mikey almost panics and it's sort of weird, mostly because online Mikey is such a forward and cocky guy but he's all bashful and worried on the date. Pete finds it endearing.

"No, it's not."Pete laughs, head tipped back and mouth opened."It's a weird word, I'll tell you that. Guys always just call me, hot, sexy, sexual words, y'know? Beautiful is weird."

"Well, you're defiantly sexy."Mikey smirks and Pete lets out a sound of surprise from the back of their throat as they suddenly find themselves pushed up against a thick tree trunk, Mikey over looming them with arms at either side of their head.

"Oh, I know."Pete smirks, arms slithering up and wrapping around Mikeys neck, hid tipped to the side and lips wet.

"And I can't be you out of my mind,"Mikey's voice drops, husky, aroused so quickly that it makes Petes stomach tighten in familiar sort of way."You're so sexy, so amazing and you don't even have to try and get guys attention. I see the way that Joe looks at you, the way that Ryan fawns over you. You're something special and I can't stand it."

"And what are you going to do about it?"Pete flutters their eyelashes bashfully, playing coy just like they always do.

"This,"Mikeys lips are suddenly on Petes own, in a kiss that's so full of force but compassion that it has Petes head swirling, a moan forced through their throat as they try and catch up with the soft, fast moving lips. Pete is an excellent kisser, Pete is also an excellent submissive and Mikey loves it.

Pete lets out a little gasp as Mikey bites their bottom lip, nibbling, sucking, licking until Pete's jaw is falling slack and they allow themselves to be pushed against the tree trunk, a long slender body pressed up against theirs. Lips are moving from their lips and across their jaw, down their neck and sucking, biting, nibbling a bruise there.

"A hickey? What are you, 12?"Pete pants embarrassingly because goddamnit, they hate the way how slack and submissive they are under a set of lips and a warm body.

"Are you complaining?"Mikey almost growls and my god, Pete shouldn't find this attractive, they really really shouldn't but they do.

"And if I am, what are you going to do about it?"Pete is biting their own lip, eyes wide and body submissive as they look up at Mikey, making a show of purposely rolling their lips against Mikeys.

"What am I allowed to do with you?"

"Anything you want, baby."

This was a chapter that was all over the place but I wanted to produce something so I can move on with the actual plot.

But please tell me what you thought!

On Mikey and Petes date?

What do you think Ryan and Dallon will have to say about them?

How do you think Petes little side is going to come about?
