Someone Get Me to a Church - Petekey

Chapter 9

Pete woke up on Saturday morning to the faint sound of the shower running, and a lack of Mikey on his side. He slowly rubbed his eyes, yawning, fighting off the temptation to go back to sleep. He didn't want to miss a second of the day he was to spend with his Mikey. He lazily pulled himself out of bed and stumbled over to the window, pulling up the blinds and exposing the sun's beaming rays. He looked down upon his campus, pondering how he managed to meet a boy so wonderful at a place that was so miserable. He felt as if the universe was finally on his side for once.
Mikey soon came out of the bathroom, half naked with only his underwear and a towel on.
"Don't mind me, It's just nearly impossible to change in that bathroom for me," He muttered, going into his drawers and pulling out the slacks of his uniform. This confused Pete, because he thought they didn't have anywhere to go that day.

"What're you putting your on uniform for? I thought we didn't have anything to do today..." Pete asked, worried that there might have been a morning sermon that managed to slip his mind.

"You want breakfast, don't you? I thought that we'd to go down and eat," Mikey explained as he pulled his white dress shirt over his head.He knew Pete usually skipped breakfast, due to it being "too boring", but he was still hopeful nonetheless.

"I'm not hungry, babe, and I gotta take a shower," Pete said, "How about you go down and eat, I'll go shower, and then we can meet back in my bed for some early afternoon cuddles," Pete giggled, making Mikey blush as he buttoned his blazer.

"Sounds like a plan," Mikey smiled, planting a kiss onto Pete's forehead. "But there's something we gotta do first," Mikey paused, pulling up his socks.

"And what exactly do we have to do?" Pete asked invitingly, unsure of what Mikey was referring to. This could go many ways. There was a moment of silence as Mikey quickly slipped his loafers on.

Wordlessly, Mikey walked to Pete and pulled him into a tight bear-hug-esque embrace, closing his eyes and resting his face in Pete's hair. He still wasn't used to this whole relationship thing, and the littlest things would make him ecstatic. Whether it be a little glance during class, hand holding, staying up for hours rambling to each other, or making out behind closed doors, every single thing meant the absolute world to Mikey. Pete was quickly becoming the most important part of his day, and he wasn't one to complain about it.

Pete dug his head into Mikey's neck, pulling him as close as possible and breathing in his familiar scent. Inside an embrace with Mikey was where he felt his happiest. He swore he could've stood there forever if they hadn't had things to do. In retrospect, he wish he had.
"You better get down to breakfast before they stop serving," Pete whispered directly into Mikey's ear.

"You're right. Promise we'll pick back up on this later?" Mikey replied. He barely even wanted breakfast anymore, not when he could be with Pete instead.

"Promise," Pete smiled.

It was a pretty normal morning for Ashlee. As per usual, she walked down to the cafeteria to get herself and Alicia some breakfast, since Alicia was still asleep and she always looked far too peaceful to be awoken. She hadn't forgotten about the night before, and she was extremely eager to get Mikey alone.
She felt like the luckiest girl in the world when she entered the dining hall to see Mikey eating by himself. She knew this might be her only chance to strike. She rumbled through her bubblegum pink purse, making sure she had brought the incriminating polaroid with her. Fortunately, she had.

Mikey sat at his usual table, alone, minding his business and eating some slightly burnt toast. Although it would've felt better if he was with Pete, he was throughly enjoying his time spent alone.
