Summary
The house is quiet when he gets home. That’s unprecedented too: most days he comes back to raucous laughter, sprawling make-believe games that take over whole levels of his house, or the sound of instruments and Patrick’s voice rising over it all, clear and sweet. There’s a momentary flare of panic in his gut when he opens the front door to a still house, but it only lasts the second it takes him to notice Patrick’s note taped to the coat rack.

Summary
“Thanks for the concern, Stump,” Pete says, and he sounds almost back to normal.
“Shut up, Wentz,” Patrick shoots back, relief loosening his shoulders, but then – Pete licks his lips, and does.
Ten minutes later, Patrick’s got a pillow over his crotch and a cup of tea steaming on the coffee table in front of him, and all he can think is, Well. Shit.

Summary
Patrick’s hands are deft and nimble, flicking through pages of stanzas, pausing on one before rejecting it. They’re as pale as the rest of him, fine-boned, and there’s something about the way he moves them that’s oddly captivating. Pete watches through half-lidded eyes. He’s so stuck on them he nearly misses the first streak of red they leave behind; he blinks, looks back, and there – a crimson trail cuts through the words he’d scribbled onto the back of a receipt -- cue all the love to leave my heart // it’s time for me to fall apart
“Patrick,” he says, voice hoarse. Patrick glances up, first to Pete’s face, and then down to his own hands; his eyes widen. He lifts his hands into the air and inspects them. Blood glistens on his fingertips and begins to trickle down, thin streams of red down the sides of every finger. They trace bright lines across his palms. Pete’s breath is caught in his throat, a physical barrier, and he can’t breathe, he can’t speak. He can only stare.

Summary
There’s a feeling you think you’re going to leave behind when you graduate high school. That tight, anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach, the night before a big test – Pete’s pretty sure he used to think you outgrew that. But as he’s grown older, he’s realized there’s a lot of things you don’t move past (or, at least, not without considerable therapy and effort), and anyone or anything that says you do is a liar and probably getting paid for it.
It’s two in the morning, and Pete’s got that feeling. Joe and Andy checked out half an hour ago to crash in Patrick’s spare rooms; they’ve always been the brains in the band.

Summary
Patrick leans in, presses his lips to Pete’s neck just above his fingers. “Breathe in,” he whispers, and Pete does, one long inhale that drags along the dryness in his throat the whole way down.
“And hold it,” Patrick says.
