Pete Wentz's Guide To Getting the Lead Role (And A Boyfriend) >> Petekey

V.

"How did you enjoy your date with your future husband?" Patrick teased, nudging him, gently. Pete blushed and rolled his eyes. They were sitting on the stage, swinging legs back and forth. Pete had the broom in his hand and was leaning on if for support.

"I'd hardly call it a date, Patrick," Pete smiled, sadly. He leaned against the broom, and smiled at his friend. "We just ate pizza and hung out in my room."

"Sounds like a date to me," Patrick grinned. "What kind of things did you guys talk about?"

"School, mostly," Pete shrugged. "He asked me if I liked anyone and of course I said no," he added.

"Such a liar," Patrick looked at him, knowingly.

"Shut up," Pete shoved him. "We talked about some about Alicia," he admitted. "Are you excited for the cast list? It's going to be out in like... What two days?" He smiled, changing the subject.

"Yep!" Patrick grinned. "Pray that I get Benvolio," he joked.

"Well," Pete placed a hand on Patrick's shoulder. "To be honest, I think you could be a pretty great Nurse." Pete ducked to avoid getting punched.

"Hey, Pete?"

Pete sighed and clenched his fists as Mikey's voice came from behind him. He turned, slowly, and smiled at him.

"Hi, Mikey... What's up?" He cocked his head and placed his hand on his hips, nervously.

"Well, apparently, the cast lists are up, now, and I was wondering if you wanted to go look at it with me?" He smiled. "I'm too nervous to go by myself," he added, blushing slightly.

"O-oh, sure!" Pete replied, following the taller boy. "So, how do you think you did?"

"I honestly have no clue. It was all kind of a blur and I kind of think I messed up on some of the words," he winced, just remembering it.

"I'm sure you did great! You're one of the best actors I've ever seen," Pete whispered, assuringly. "If you don't get Romeo, I will sue."

"Oh, God. Pete Wentz is coming to sue the school. How much will you sue them for?"

"One hundred million dollars," Pete grinned. "Plus tax."

"You're ridiculous," Mikey nudged him gently. "Oh... It's right there..."

Pete looked at the mound of kids who were surrounding the cast list and stood back.

"Let's wait till it clears out, hm?" He grinned. Mikey nodded in agreement, too nervous to talk. Finally, it all cleared our, and Mikey sighed, jittery.

"Come on," Pete's heart began beating fast as he grabbed Mikey's wrist and dragged him over to the cast list to look for his name. He didn't have to look very hard.

"I did it!" Mikey let out a laugh of glee. "I got the lead role!"

"I'm so proud of you! I told you you would get it!" Pete smiled at him. Mikey hugged him quickly, and Pete almost died.

"Great job, little brother!" Gerard bounced over, and gave Mikey a pat. "You got the lead! Can you believe it, Frankie? My little brother, Romeo Montague!"

"Congrats, Mikes!" Frank grinned, before jumping on top of Gerard's back. "Have fun memorizing Queen Mab's speech, Gee," he grinned down at him, and wrapped his legs around Gerard from behind.

"Haha," Gerard leaned back against the wall, smashing Frank who let out a squeak.

"Gee, you're hurting me!" He gasped. "The bricks are sharp!"  

"Sorry, Princess," Gerard replied, pushing off the wall with his foot.

"Are you two still not dating?" Mikey asked, chuckling gently. "Anyone with eyes could see that you're totally doing it."

"And anybody with eyes could see that Pete has a massive raging boner over you!" Gerard replied, hotly. "Why don't you two just fuck already? The sexual tension is driving me insane," he smirked.

Pete felt his head spin. Oh God, no. What was Gerard doing?! He was going to ruin everything.

"Don't be ridiculous, Gerard. I know you're gay, but haven't you noticed I have a girlfriend?" Mikey replied, laughing nervously.

"Yes, I can totally see how in love you are with her," he grinned, sarcastically. He suddenly turned around and grabbed Frank's hands, intertwining them. "Hi! I'm Pete Wentz and I love Mikey Way except I'm too shy to tell him!" He made his voice high pitched. "Instead I'll just watch as he and his fake girlfriend try out for the school play together!"

"Oh my God, I love you so much, too, Pete! I never loved Alicia!" Frank replied, also making his voice high pitched. "I pretend to be straight even though everyone knows I'm so gay!"

"Kiss me, gay boy!" Gerard laughed, pulling Frank into him, and very heterosexually grabbing his butt.

"I love you, Pete!" Frank replied, before stage-kissing Gerard.

"Guys, stop!" Pete interrupted them, feeling sick. "I- need to go..." He turned and raced away from them as fast as he could. God, was he really that obvious?! Mikey must think he was such a creep. He was too bad at preventing the tears from falling and he wiped them away, furiously.

"See what you did?" He heard Mikey angrily talking to them, but Pete didn't care. He just wanted to get away. Without realizing, the place he'd run to was the stage.

It was completely empty, and he raced back stage to the stairs at the back of the stage and threw himself on the stairs, crying. He wanted this day to be over. He didn't want to face Mikey again. He definitely didn't want Gerard or Frank to see him again. Why would they do that? Especially in front of Mikey? He knew Frank and Gerard would always fool around a lot, but this was honestly just embarrassing. Especially considering Pete's feelings for Mikey.

He just wanted to go home.
