Hurricane [Peterick AU]

When Pete Wentz had first come across an eleven-year-old boy named Patrick Stump, he didn’t know that it was all it would take for him to be completely yet unknowingly sucked into Patrick’s world—a world revolving around and seemingly built from all of the mystery and adventure novels, movies and TV shows that Patrick enjoyed so much.

Years might have passed by already, but Pete still wasn’t entirely sure how he truly felt for the man who was five years younger than him—and his confusion regarding his sexual preferences and the fact that he had always considered Patrick merely as a best friend and nothing more had only worsened the situation. He knew that he cared for him very much… maybe even a little too much. Everything in their hurricane-like friendship felt so right and so wrong at the same time.

Only did Pete fully realize how much Patrick actually meant to him when he found out that the kid suddenly went missing… but left clues along his trail that Pete had to fit together.

Maybe Patrick just wanted to play a more complex version of hide-and-seek, after all.
