Pete and I started to straighten up the house before Andy and Joe arrived.
"I can't wait for you to meet my friends, Patrick!" said Pete.
"I really hope they like me." I said.
"They won't like you, Patrick. They will love you." He kisses my cheek.
That's when the doorbell rang. Pete ran downstairs like a five year old getting the puppy he always wanted for Christmas.
"Joe and Andy, this is Patrick."
I smile back.
"It's so nice to meet you." Andy said.
"Yeah! Pete has told me so much about you." said Joe making Pete blush like crazy.
"That's enough, Joseph. Let's get started, shall we?"

~Timeskip To Five Minutes Later~

I started to start singing a song Pete gave me. It was a different song that he liked. I said I would sing it for him. It was a newer one he wrote, and he said he wasn't confident in it. I don't know why, as he wrote such good songs. It was called Dead On Arrival. Pete smiled when I sang the first few words.
"I hope this is the last time/Cause I'd never say no to you/This conversation's been dead on arrival."
Andy came in next, and I sang the next part.
"There's no way to talk to you/This conversation's been dead on/A rivalry goes so deep/Between me and this loss of sleep over you."
Joe came in next, playing his guitar to the beat. "This is side one/Flip me over/I know I'm not your favorite record/The songs you grow to like/Never stick at first/So I'm writing you a chorus/And here is your verse."
Pete came in, and once he came in, we started to rock out. "No it's not the last time/Cause I never say no to you/This conversation's still dead on arrival."
We played the rest of the song, and after we finished Pete smiled. "That was an amazing beat you came up with, Patrick."
I shrugged. "I guess."
We played a few more songs, and we finished it up with Chicago Is So Two Years Ago. Afterwards Pete suggested movies. I giggled. "Christmas movies!" I shouted.
Pete giggled. So he put in The Grinch. Pete cuddled me, and Joe and Andy sat close together. I noticed they were holding hands. I giggled silently, and pointed it out to Pete. He giggled as well.
For the rest of the movie we were silent, until I saw Andy laying his head on Joe's shoulder. I giggled loudly and slapped a hand over my mouth. Joe looked at Pete and then  me. "You told him!" He whispered-yelled.
Pete nodded. "Maybe... Only because Andy likes you too."
Joe smiled and became the wide-eyed four year old i know him to be. "R-Really?!"
"Yeah." Pete said.
For the rest of the movie, Joe had a big stupid grin on his face. Andy quietly snored, and every few minutes, Joe snuck glances at Andy. Joe held Andy's hand and rubbed it. It honestly made me ship them.
Pete squeezed my hand. "I love you Pattycakes," he whispered in my ear. I smiled and put my head on his shoulder, drifting off to sleep.
