Sweet As Honey

~Chapter 16~

     You sit on Peter's bed and watch him pack. You know if you don't he'll just bring a bunch of stuff that he doesn't need. "So I need six pairs of socks, right?" He asks, holding an array of different color socks.

     "No!" You laugh. "Put three down. You only need three socks. Three shirts, three pairs of pants." He drops all the socks onto his floor then gets three new pairs from his drawer. "Come on you're making a mess," You stand and go to pick up the socks he dropped. "Come on dude. We leave tomorrow."

     Peter sighs, "Fine, I'll take this seriously." Taking the socks from you he picks three short socks and puts the rest back. You put them into his duffel bag as he throws shirts at you. You quickly fold them and put them into the bag as he starts throwing his shorts at you faster.

     "Bro chill. And I'm not putting your underwear in here, that's just weird." You say putting his last pair of pants in the bag.

     He chuckles, "You need to stop being weird, we've known each other long enough where you knew I wouldn't pack properly but you refuse to touch my washed undergarments?"

     You look at him bewildered. "Yes. That's a normal thing to refuse to do. Stop being weird." He starts laughing harder, which in turn causes you to laugh.

     "Alright, fine. Dork." He grabs the bag from the bed and just shoves a few pairs in. "Don't ask me to make it neat, this is how they are going in."

     "Alright. But let's just get it into the car now so you don't forget. Then we-" He interrupts you.

     "Go to the store and get snacks and chargers for the trip. I know how you work, let's just get going." Peter throws the bag over his shoulder and walks to his door, holding it open for you.

     "Such a gentleman." You say as you walk out.

     "Yup, mama raised me right!!" Peter closes the door behind him. "So your dad was just okay with you going?" he asks, knowing how your father gets.

     "Yeah, I think once he realized I was going with you and I was driving he was fine with it." You answer.

     "Ah so he remembers how strong of a man I am!" He flexes his arms, no muscle forming since he's a twig.

     This of course causes you to laugh at his expense. "Yeah bud, I'm sure that's it." Patting him on the back as you exit the house.

     "Wait- Ma! I'm going to the store with Y/n! I'll be back later!" After hearing her shout 'okay' Peter shoves you out the door and towards your car. "This is gonna be so fun, I texted Wren's mom to make sure she remembers the plan!"

     "Me too! I can't wait to see her again." You say pulling out of his driveway.

     "Give me the cord! It's time to scream defying gravity!" He makes grabby hands as you hand him the cord. The rest of the car ride is full of him singing in the higher part of the song, very seriously. While you struggle to sing the lower part without laughing. Coming upon the big note Peter just screams it, forcing you to hold your laughter in as you pull into the parking lot. "Store time! Lez gooo!" Peter immediately hops out of the car when you put it in park. You quickly turn off the car and run after him. Catching up to him only when you get to the store's entrance.

     Walking into the store you lead Peter over to the carts. He pulls the first one out he sees and pushes it. Leaning against the bar with his forearms. You walk by the many aisles seeing preparations for memorial day and multiple different articles of clothing. Upon finally reaching the food section of the store Peter throws cookies in the cart, followed by an array of chips. You go to Find drinks while he gets all the snacks.
