    Summary

    Pete's first instinct is to lie.

    But there's another part of himself that wants people to know he's holding something under his heart, smashed up beside his lungs. His body is carrying something that's Mikey's.

    (Folié ends and something else begins.)

    Summary

    There is no phrase Pete hates more in the world than ‘So, Pete…’

    ‘So, Pete…” never ends well. ‘So, Pete…’ usually means that the person asking knows more than he does, and they’re just trying to trap Pete into explaining his side of the story just for the sake of torturing him.

    ...with Patrick, there’s no such thing as expectations. Patrick is instant pleasure. The kissing, the fucking, the songwriting, the friendship. It’s so present. It’s so tangible and Pete can feel it, can smell it, taste it and hear it and see it.

    There’s no fucking ‘So, Pete’ here.

    Patrick is probably the only thing in Pete's life going right. But when Pete's cousin catches Pete and Patrick in a heated moment, everything gets flipped onto its head when Pete is forced to decide whether or not Patrick means more to him than the approval of his family.

    (OR: pete kinda hates himself and kinda loves smoking cigarettes, patrick knows his worth and he sticks to it, there are lots of references to general caribbeanness, joe is the comedic relief, and when harry met sally is the best movie in the world)
