it was june of 2007, and the honda civic tour was ending, but summer was just beginning.
pete still tasted like summer, but now he was a dozen other memories too. he was dancing at midnight to the melody of fireworks and thunderstorms, he was holding hands while they fell asleep, he was the smell of roses and sweaty stages, and he was kissing again and again because there is nothing better than the taste of love.
pete spun around his bass like a record player, and patrick watched him because he was so beautiful in the light. and when he looked away, when he looked out to the crowd, he saw a million fairy lights, and written in the sky was, "do you remember when you wanted to forget?"
patrick smiled to himself and pete caught the kiss that was meant only for him. he could barely remember when he didn't love patrick stump, and he could barely remember when he didn't want to.
the tide was coming in, and pete felt so alive. the summer was green and the record was playing in the back of his mind, words like honey slipping down his throat. he swallowed every sour pill with the memory that waiting was worth it.
he was afire, but he loved the gasp of the heat.
