"Are you sure I'll be okay? because-"

"Mikey, I swear, you'll be fine. You've got me, and my friends are gonna love you, I promise. You'll fit right in."

"But-"

"Hey, sh. It's gonna be okay." Pete presses a kiss to Mikey's lips, and Mikey kisses back.

"Now, isn't Gerard supposed to drop us off at Target or something?"

"Yeah."

The shopping trip for school supplies and clothes is relatively easy; Gerard waits for them at the Starbucks inside the store, and the two fool around for a while before they actually get down to business.

At one point, Pete holds up a bright pink tiara and asks Mikey if he would look good in it. Mikey jokingly says no, but Pete buys the tiara anyways.

"Ow. My arms are sore," Pete groans as he carries Mikey's bags inside.

"Then don't carry so much at once, you dork." Mikey takes a few bags from Pete and sets them by the door.

"Good idea. I'm sleeping over, right?"

"Pete, when are you not sleeping over?"

"True. You literally have most of my pajama collection at your house."

At this, Mikey laughs, swatting Pete's arm lightly in a joking manner. Pete grins and kisses Mikey's cheek, causing a tiny explosion to go off in Mikey's heart. "I love you."

Pete simpers and intertwines his fingers with Mikey's. "I love you, too."
