Chapter Text
“What if we could make this last forever?” he had asked, staring at the sunset before them. It truly was amazing, painting the sky in gorgeous pinks and oranges. Mikey looked over at him, a slightly confused grin on his face.
“I don’t think we can, Pete,” he said softly. “Enjoy it while it’s here.”
Pete sighed. Was Mikey really that oblivious? “Yeah,” he replied, holding onto Mikey’s hand. “Enjoy it while we can.”
Pete couldn’t sleep that night. Granted, he never really slept at all. If you asked anyone who knew him, they’d all tell you his sleep schedule was fucked. Especially during an event like the warped tour. Forced to be out and about most of the day, in the blazing heat? Sunscreen and hoodies were his saving grace. Really, how had Mikey not realized by now? Between his deliberate avoidance of the sun and distaste for anything even remotely garlic flavored, Pete felt like he had been far too close to just outright telling him. Which would be bad, right? He would probably freak the fuck out if he knew what Pete really was. But at the same time, he kept going back to the bridge. Why shouldn’t this summer last forever? Wouldn’t things just be so much easier if he had at least one person to share this with, for all of eternity? He supposed that was up to Mikey. He couldn’t just force a thing like vampirism on someone. That would be sucky, he knew that.
He just hoped he’d stop yearning for the sweet, sweet taste of Mikey Way’s blood.
