I Swear This Time I Mean It

As Pete Wentz ran up the stairs of the Way residence he knew that he'd fucked up. He stormed into the nearest room and leant against the door to stop the inevitable intruder from gaining entry.

"Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz the Third" Mikey Way's annoyed voice penetrates his ear drums "I swear to God, if you don't let me into my own room I will never have sex with you again and if you cheat on me, not only will I kill you, so will Gerard".

The seventeen year old lets out a little whine and moves from the door to sit on Mikey's Star Wars themed bed "You can come in" he whispers timidly. Mikey seems to sense his boyfriend's nervousness and slowly opens the door, peeking his head around the wooden object. Upon seeing Pete's shaking form he mentally 'awwws' and walks over and pulls him into a bone crushing hug "Shhhhhh baby, it's okay" he coos softly "I'm just a little upset, but I'm not angry" he reassures, kissing his cheek.

After the over grown emo baby also known as Pete Wentz had calmed down, his arms that are littered with angry red marked that were made without a moments hesitation in a single moment of frustrated desperation, wrapped around Mikey's frail waist "I'm sorry Mikes" Pete mumbles into his shoulder

Mikey sighs and gently grasping his wrist to bring it up to his lips to trace over the scars gently "I'm not angry Pete. I'm really not. I am a little hurt though. You know that you can come and talk to me about anything at all. I've been your boyfriend for twenty seven months. You need to learn to trust me, so baby, please tell me what's wrong" he begs, eyes watering and his bottom lip quavering slightly at the idea that his precious little baby being close to suicide again.

"It's because I'm ugly. I'm so hideous you can't even make love to me in the dark. It makes me feel so worthless an small that not even the man who is supposed to like my entire being can't even stand the sight of my body..." he trails off, voice becoming smaller and more uncertain of himself as he neared the end of his little speech. He finally drags his eyes up to meet Mikey's tear stained cheeks and guilt filled eyes "Oh Pete... This isn't about you. It's not because you're 'ugly', in fact you're the furthest thing from. I'd go as far as to say you're the most beautiful man I have ever met and will ever meet" Mikey stops talking to laugh a little at his sweet little dude's blushing form "The problem is me. I keep on making this stupid mistake that I'm scared to tell you about because I know you'll judge me and call me a hypocrite" Mikey closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before whispering "I've started self harming Pete" his eyes remained closed for a while, not wanting to face Pete and his imminent face that is sure to be full of anger and hurt.

Pete Wentz on the other hand could not even begin to fathom judging the, in his eyes, perfect Mikey Way. Instead he kisses him softly, whispering reassuring sweet nothings against his lips. Mikey is, and forever will be, eternally grateful that Pete hasn't asked or pushed him to tell him why he had done it and kissed him back. After a while he pulls away and whispers the sentence which has the potential to make him the happiest person in the world or the saddest motherfucker on the planet "I love you"

Pete Wentz sat there before grinning and kissing him gently "I love you too princess" he giggles at the sounds of protest coming from Mikey's mouth "I am not a princess thank you very much. I am a very manly prince" Pete scoffs playfully and says "Manly? are you sure" Mikey chuckles and flips him off "I don't understand how you love me though. I'm so physically and emotionally scarred..." Pete trails off "forget your scars, we'll forget mine" Mikey mumbles, leaning into Pete's slightly muscled chest, causing the older man to grin at him "I'm gonna stop for you and I swear this time I mean it. I'm doing this for you Mikey Way, because you're absolutely perfect" Mikey blushes slightly and giggles at him "as are you Pete Wentz". Both Mikey and Pete lean forward into a passionate kiss. And as their lips connected, their worlds faded into a blur of love and lust.
