The Only One For You. || Pete x Mike [PIKE]

{~Chapter16~}

~MikePOV~

After following Pete for a while not knowing where we were going, I soon figured out where we were going, "The village inn? Won't your friends be there though?" I asked, "That's the point conformist." He said, 'Ok what the f*ck is going on?' I laughed to myself as we entered the village inn still holding hands, "Pete?" I whispered, "Hey." Pete said to his goth friends, "Hey... Why are you touching?" Firkle asked, "Didn't we say not to do that conformist sh*t around us?" Michael added, "What? Oh, eh- whatever I don't care, you're fine together." Henrietta complimented, "Yea, we're dating." He said, this made me feel happy and proud, I'm not sure why though, "That's not what I wanted to talk about though." He said as he sat us both down, "Who do you think could've done that?" Pete asked, "What? Locked you, orange guy and blue softie in a room together, literally anyone." Michael responded, "No, you weren't here today, you wouldn't know." Pete said, "What are you talking about?" Henrietta asked putting down her coffee, "I mean, who could've locked down the entire school, and exposed everyone's darkest secrets." He explained, "No way.." Michael said, "Even ours?!" Henrietta asked, "Yea.." he responded, "OH MY GOD, NO WAY?!" Michael said, "How many people where in the school?" Firkle asked, "Everyone, except for you and Henrietta and Michael. As far as I know me, Kenny and Butters are the only people who didn't hear anyone's secrets." Pete said, "And me! I got out before Pete, I didn't even know that people's secrets were being spilled over the intercom." I said, I felt I had to clear my name as Firkle was looking at me weird, "Yea.. I guess the best place to start is by ruling out the people that cannot be the guy." Michael said, "Yea, who else did you see in the halls?" Henrietta asked, "Oh come on guys, we all know it's Cartman per se." I said, "Still not using that right." Pete whispered, "Obviously, but he's not smart enough to know how to rig all the school doors to close at the push of a button, he had to have had an accomplice, that's two people to kill." Firkle said unsettlingly.

We thought for the next five minutes going back and forth with someone suggesting who it could be and the next person saying that we saw them in the hallway looking just as confused and scared as everyone else, "What about that ginger hair, green hat kid?" Michael asked, "No I saw Kyle chasing after Stan." I said, "Could be Stan." Firkle suggested, "Maybe, we'll keep him on the suspect list for now." Pete said, they continued to go over everyone it could be, eventually I just zoned out while looking out of the window, watching as the odd Fire truck, taxi and ambulance would pass by, the occasional regular car too.

~PetePOV~

After a while of debating I noticed that Mike had fallen asleep so I rolled him into a more comfortable position, and continued talking, "Conformist." Michael said, "What? I didn't do sh*t." I replied, "Take him home, it's late for conformists like him, also, we can't really ask him who he saw in the halls if he's asleep." Henrietta suggested, "Fine, we meet here tomorrow." I said while picking Mike up on my back, it was easier to carry people that way, I left the village inn and headed for Mike's house, 'Ugh, lame I haven't hung out with my friends in so long, I haven't been able to be goth in so long.' I thought annoyed as I walked away from my friends at the village inn.

Knocking on the door to his house I hoped that his dad was in so I wouldn't have to break us in, thankfully he answered, "Oh hey Pete, awe, he fell asleep?" He answered, "Uhh, Yea, I'm gonna take him to bed." I said pushing past him, "Oh ok, tell him I said goodnight!" He called up to me, I ignored him as I walked up the stairs to Mike's room.

I laid him down onto his bed, 'I'm surprised he didn't wake up, I wasn't exactly careful when walking.' I thought as I took off his jacket and pulled out his fake fangs, 'The f*ck?! When's the last time he took these out.' I gagged placing them down on the bedside table, took his shoes off and tucked him into bed, 'Being with him makes me happy, but, also trapped, ugh, I hate this.' I thought as I walked out of his room and slowly closed the door, 'I could go for a smoke right now, Mike wouldn't like it. But he's asleep so it's fine.' I thought as I snuck past his dad and out into the garden where I then sat down and lit a cigarette and took a couple drags from it, "I still like him, even if that's conformist, and I still want to go out with him, I just don't think it's fair that he gets to be himself every day and I don't." I told myself, "Maybe if I just kept my mouth shut and didn't let anyone know about my dad, everything would feel fine, like it used to.." I said to myself, "I didn't know you felt like that.." I heard Mike say from his window, "I- uhh, thought you were asleep?" I stuttered, "One sec." He said before closing his window, 'F*ck, I did it again, I can never have a peaceful moment, ugh lame.' I panicked as Mike opened the back door and sat beside me, "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, "Wouldn't that go against everything you just heard?" I responded, "Yea.." Mike hummed, "Ok you don't have to talk about it, you just act how you think you should act in this relationship, ok?" He reasoned, "Uhh, Yea, sounds good conformist." I said, 'Well that was resolved quickly, I'm lucky to have Mike as my partner!' I thought to myself, "Ok what now?" He asked, "You can go back to sleep if you're still tired, I'm gonna stay out here to keep smoking." I said, he opened his mouth to protest against my smoking habit, but instead just smiled and pasted my shoulder, "Ok, don't let my dad catch you, you'll be under his supervision for the rest of your life if he does." He laughed while walking inside, "I'll be careful." I said, he shut the door and I lay on the grass looking up at the inky black sky taking a drag from my cigarette every so often.

Feeling pretty relaxed and much more free than before I stamped out and binned my cigarette, then headed upstairs to my room to sleep.

~MikePOV~

I woke up at 6am and immediately got dressed for school when my dad stopped me, "What is it?" I asked, "Schools off today, you can stay home." He reasoned, "What?" I said in confusion, "Their excuse was a teacher training day." He answered, "Oh, ok." I said taking off my shoes and running back upstairs to tell Pete.

"Hey Pete!" I said as I swung open his door, "Ugh what?" He groaned, "No school today, teacher training or something." I said, "And?" He responded, "And, that means you can hang out with your friends and I can hangout with mine!" I said, "Not together, please. I like, like liking you, but we've spent everyday together since my dad." He asked, "God no, they would not get along at all, also I get wanting a break every now and then, by the way my dad has found you a foster parent, you have to meet them on Saturday." I explained, "Damn it. Fine, they're goth right?" He asked, "I think so Yea." I responded, "Good." He said, "Ok, bye love ya!" I laughed walking away and shutting his door.

As I left the house and started walking to Stark's pond, I texted my friends to ask them to meet up:

~You: "Wnna hang out?"

~'GigaLarry': "Yea sure ngl I was a bit sick yesterday so I wasn't in, fill me in when we get there!"

~'Its rayning blood': "Where are we meeting?"

~You: "Stark's pond"

~'Its rayning blood': "Ok cool."

~'GigaLarry': "See u in like 12mins"

~'Its rayning blood': "See u there, I have so much to tell u guys!"

~You: "Oh cool, cu!"

'What does she know? Is it about what happened at school?' I asked myself putting my phone in my pocket and sitting down on Stark's pond bench.
