Falling In Love Will Kill You

Trente et un

Mikey walked around the school yard aimlessly. In all honesty Pete just ending things like that hurt. Mikey didn't understand Pete's reasoning but he really missed him. Sure him constantly kicking Pete out of the chat didn't help his case but he was a bit upset.

Mikey turned a corner in the hall, unaware that he walked right to the music room. He heard the quiet hum of a bass being played. Curious, he crept more into the room to here more of the song.

The song was amazing, there was no words or anything, clicks of the tempo was heard.

He looked past the corner to see a short kid with dark hair, unaware of Mikey's presence, playing the bass like he was in a whole different world. Mikey watched longer and realized that Pete was playing.

Mikey walked closer, Pete still unaware. Eventually Mikey got to the point where he was sitting right next him. Pete had to have known hat Mikey was there by now.

Pete finally finished playing. He didn't do anything after that. He just sat there. Silent.

Mikey slowly removed the bass from his hold and started to play a few chords. Pete watched Mikey's fingers slide up and down the frets and strings.

When Mikey decided he was done he put it back on the stand and sat back down next Pete.

"Hey" Mikey said.

It was silent for a few moments. Then Pete finally said something.

"I'm s-sorry" he choked.

Mikey immediately pulled him into his arms and let Pete cry as much as he needed. Mikey rubbed circles on Pete's back as tears stained his shoulder.

"Pete..."

"Mhm"

"Look up"

Pete removed his head from Mikey's shoulder and looked up with a broken look in his eyes. Mikey lifted his chin to bring his lips up to his. The kiss was perfect, it wasn't too long but it wasn't too short. It sent chills but also a sense of warmth through both of them.

They soon departed and Pete's eyes stayed on Mikey's lips. Mikey then slipped his hand into Pete's pocket and took his phone. Pete watched him, not trying to stop him at all.

Mikey browsed through Pete's apps until he found Pete's username.

"Can I add you back on?"

"Do you forgive me?"

"Yes"

"Then yes"

Mikey quickly added Pete and shut the phone off. He then wrapped his arms around Pete and said, "What happened?"
