"Hey! Are you free?" Pete says with a smile.
"Yeah I was just getting ready to head home but I don't have any plans."
"Great! I'll drive" he holds up his keys with a little jingle.
With that you were off another adventure.
~~~~
As he was aimlessly driving for a little bit, both of you high off of the ecstasy that each other's company brought, he turned to you with a hint of something in his eyes. Excitement? Nervousness? You couldn't put your finger on it.
"Down for something impulsive or are we playing it safe tonight?" He was testing the waters.
"What did you have in mind?" You couldn't hide the smirk that played at your lips. You instinctively matched his energy.
He didn't answer you, just raised his eyebrow and turned the car around; heading in the opposite direction. As he was driving he grabbed your hand which calmed any stress you had. You were literally in good hands.
As he put the car in park he turned to you in question. A tattoo shop. You looked back at Pete and his eye brows were raised again and a smile was forming beautifully on his face.
"I'm down!" You were honestly surprised at how easy it was being with him. On top of that, what's life without a little fun anyways.
"Sick! Mind if I smoke before we go in?" He asked pulling a out a pre roll.
"Mind if I take a hit?" You reply in the same tone.
"Whenever you want beautiful." The statement just rolled off his tongue but it still sent the butterflies into a frenzy.
Pete puts the pre roll into his mouth to light it and you can't help but miss the feeling of it on yours. After lighting it he takes the biggest breathe you've seen. Slowly, he exhales, letting the smoke flow in a steady stream, surrounding you two in the car. He passes it to you and you copy his motions only you can't. You just can't handle that amount of smoke and you have to cough. And cough. And cough. You're literally coughing up a lung and Pete is right beside you just giggling. Finally, after getting a hold of yourself, you turn to Pete with a glum expression.
"You really are a light weight." He giggles teasingly.
"I tried." You spit back. This only made him laugh harder.
Walking into the tattoo shop which was somewhat full to your surprise with the time. You looked around until you saw a guy walk from the back and he instantly caught sight of Pete.
"Peta, whatta doin' 'ere?" His accent was strong but he was a very warm person. As he made his way over to you two, he wrapped Pete up into a bear hug.
"An who's zis beauiful little lady?" He turned to you. A small blush creeped across your cheeks.
"This is Y/N." The man leaned down and kissed your cheek as a welcome. You offered him a kind smile in return.
"Y/N this is Martin. He's been a good friend of my family for a long time. As long as I can remember, honestly."
"It's very nice to meet you." You could already tell you would love Martin just as Pete seemed to. There was a homey feeling to him.
"Whatta ya gettin tonight, Pete?" This seemed to be a regular thing that happened between the two of them.
"Um, we're not sure yet. We might need a second.."
"Of course. Take all the time ya need." With that, he walked to his station; cleaning and setting up for us.
"Any thoughts?" You could tell Pete was completely blazed and so were you now that you thought of it. You almost felt a little uncomfortable but no one was paying you any mind. Looking back at Pete, he was seeming to be thinking about what to get but you got the feeling he would get whatever you said.
"Let's get clouds. Since we're ya know. In the clouds." It felt a little dumb saying it out loud but the idea seemed cool in your head.
You could see Pete fighting back a smile. There was a hint of something in his eyes.
"Dope. Where?"
"Uhh, maybe on my hands." It came out more like a question than anything. You pulled out your hands to exam them. Turning them over, trying to find a good spot. You decided on one of your fingers but couldn't narrow it down.
"What about right here?" Pete motioned to the skin on the first knuckle of the middle finger. You held out your hand to imagine the cloud shape in that spot.
"That's perfect."
~~
Walking into your apartment, a bag full of sushi in your hands and the leftover picnic food in Pete's, you kicked the door shut behind you.
Laying out the spread in front of the two of you, Pete turned on a movie. It was one that your both had seen before and probably wouldn't pay too much attention too; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (one of the best ones).
You didn't realize how hungry you were until you were shoving your face full of sushi.
"Y/N?" Pete had suddenly shifted under you. You pulled your legs back to get more comfortable as Pete looked like he was a bearer of bad news.
"I think if we're going to be spending any sort of time together then you should know a few things. And if I'm completely misjudging everything just tell me to shut up and we cant act like this," he motioned between the two of you, "never happened." He took a breath to make sure you were following. You took this time to put your chopsticks down so that he had your full attention.
"I'm a mess. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and sometimes it feels like it's just too much and too hard to be here. I'm really ugly. I love too hard and too fast. Sometimes I'm cranky as fuck. I've done some scary shit to myself I guess.." he didn't continue for a moment but then took a deep breath.
"What I'm trying to say is I have a lot of baggage if you want to be any sort of thing with me. I want to be completely upfront about it so you don't feel blindsided."
You didn't say anything at first just staring into his deep brown eyes; gathering your thoughts.
"Pete... I'm really sorry that this world can be too much sometimes and I do understand that feeling. I might not understand every emotion every time but I am here for you. Even if you just need some one to vent too, someone to scream at. I can say though, for a fact, you are not ugly. Far from it." A light smile and blush creeped across your face. Pete was avoiding your gaze though.
"We all have feelings like these so I will try to understand even if it's not something that I've experienced or experienced so intensely as you do. I appreciate you telling me though but I am here for you and you can't scare me off that easily." You leaned down to catch his eyes away from his hands and he smiled at your light hearted ending.
He didn't say anything as he hugged you. His eyes had filled with tears slightly.
You didn't want to pressure him with anymore heavy talk so you offered him a sushi instead.
"Sush?" He smiled again.
~~~
You woke suddenly, the tv flashed with different screens as the movie had ended long ago. Pete and yourself must have fallen asleep after getting full and cuddling. You thought about when you had tried to shove as many sushis in his mouth as you could and giggled to yourself. Everything was so easy with him.
"Pete?" Light snores came from him as he lay slightly across you, slumped from sleeping sitting upright.
"Pete, let's go to bed."
He woke suddenly as well and seemed to be a little confused.
"We fell asleep but if you want we can sleep in the bed." You didn't want to pressure him in anyway.
"Y/N," the raspy way your name rolled off on his tongue sent shivers down your spine, "why the fuck wouldn't I want to go to bed with you?"
With that, Pete picked you up wrapping your legs around his waist and kissed you roughly. You could already feel his member growing. His hands were squeezing your ass tightly and once he got to your room the sudden motion of him throwing you on your bed left you breathless.
