pete wandered up the makeup isle in the local target. he needed more eyeliner.
he scanned up and down the rows but couldn't find the maybeline charcoal pencil. however he did see a short boy with a red target shirt stocking foundations.
"excuse me?" pete asked the boy. target boy whipped around and raised his eyebrows to ask what he needed. the boy was beautiful. he had long strawberry hair tucked under a '504 Plan' hat and wiry glasses.
"sir?" the boy asked again (?) as pete was too busy staring at target boy.
"oh? uh, yeah. do you have the maybeline charcoal eyeliner pencil?"
the boy nodded and waved pete over. he stretched to reach something on the top shelf exposing his plushy side as the target polo stretched with him.
pete was mesmerized by the pale skin so that he didn't realize that the boy said something.
"sir?" the boy repeated. " i, uh, can't reach, ill go and get someone else..."
"no that's okay, i can reach it. thanks for the help."

pete was getting his items checked out by a girl with black pony tails and a plaid skirt.
"did anyone help you today?" she asked.
"uh, yeah, this cute- i mean short boy with red hair?" pete blushed.
"oh, patrick!" she said. mm patrick. sounds cute.

pete really wanted some chocolate ice cream and he could've gone to walgreens because it was closer but he also had a craving for cute boys named patrick who worked at target.
he wondered around the store, pretending to be lost, but he knew where the ice cream was. he just wanted patrick to help him find it.
pete found patrick in the infants section, helping a lady and her baby find clothes. he was so cute with the baby.
pete waited until patrick was walking away to speak to him.
"hey," pete said, walking with patrick.
"yes, sir?" "don't call me sir, im not that much older than you."
"alright. do you need help with something?" patrick asked.
"yeah, ice cream? where is it?" pete inquired.
"you don't know where it is?" patrick asked.
"uh, im new in town." pete lied.
"no offense dude but ive seen you coming here since june." patrick blushed.
"fine. i, uh, wanted to see you." pete said, embarrassed.
"that's kinda creepy, man." patrick chuckled.
pete blushed and followed patrick to the ice cream.

this time, it was the new arcade fire cd.
pete wasn't actually looking for patrick, but he found him anyways. he was stocking the arcade fire cds.
"patrick! can i have one of those?" pete smirked.
"huh! oh, you? hey!" patrick smiled. "i,uh, still don't know your name."
"oh it's pete!"
"nice name..." patrick blushed.
"you like that, you should hear my phone number." pete laughed.
patrick giggled and gave pete a cd.
"ill ring you up." patrick said, standing up.

"your total is 2:39, peter." patrick said.
"and...uh....my numbers on the back. give me a call?"
