Patrick was on top of him, and not in the way he'd prefer. Pete pressed himself lower into the sandy ground and struggled to avoid the hook his best-friend-turned-weapon-of-the-enemy was trying to impale him with. He felt a bit sick when he realised how far Patrick had knocked his bass blade- it was entirely unreachable from his current position, lying useless in the corner of his vision.

This was it, wasn't it? Patrick was going to kill him. The person he'd take a bullet for was now behind the metaphorical trigger. Fuck.

Their teeth clanked together painfully, and their lips were gross and chapped, but it felt thrilling in a way Pete couldn't put into words. Sure he was still totally gonna get stabbed, but he might die happier.

To his shock, he felt Patrick relax into the kiss. Pete startled, opening his eyes to see Patrick's own staring back at him. They were blue.
