I grabbed my guitar before hoping into my car. I arrived in five minutes like I said, and knocked on the door with my guitar on my back. His mother opened the door and smiled at me. "Hello Mat. Brandon's up in his room. I think I heard crying earlier, any ideas?" I bit my lip.
"Brandon's girlfriend cheated on him miss. He called me over for support." I said carefully. Her face dropped and she looked genuinely worried.
"She was such a sweet girl. It's a shame, but I guess it was going to happen. Distance does bad things to relationships." Brandon's mother said as she allowed me up the stairs. "You remember where it is, right?" I nodded back to the woman before rushing to his room. I knocked before entering and gasped at the sight. Pete, my Petey, was rocking on his bed with tears streaming down his face. I put down my guitar by the door while closing and locking it. I sat beside him and pulled the younger into my lap. He began to sob louder as he realized I had arrived.
"Mat, I- she- I-" Pete stuttered out, trying to form sentences through sobs.
"Sh Petey. Just breathe for now. Explain later, for now just cry." I cooed to the younger and that's what he did. For the next hour I rocked Pete as he cried. He got the hiccups as his sobs calmed down and it sounded adorable. It took all my strength now to kiss him right then.
"She cheated on me Noochm. She- she slept with some guy while I was over here missing her. Why- why would she- who could do that?" Pete asked between hiccups, using my nickname. It was the strangest thing to me, but I'm sure it was something special to him.
"Only evil people." I responded as I hugged him tighter. He pushed me away to look at me. I felt my heart die as the once bubbly eyes were now a duller, grayish-blue. Tears stained his cheeks and more blurred his eyes. He looked completely broken, and it wrecked me.
"She's not evil though. She was nice, and pretty, and sweet." Pete said as he stared at me. He looked lost and confused, like a sick puppy who wasn't beaten for the first time in its life. He had slight hope in his eyes at the fact that I was there. That I hadn't abandoned him like Kara had.
"That's the best disguise Petey. It helps them hide." I said as I placed a light kiss in his hair. He whimpered before snuggling farther into my arms. He buried his face into my chest and clenched my shirt in his fists. I rubbed my knuckles over his spine in an attempt to calm him down. He'd just occasionally from hiccups until I heard him start holding his breath. I sighed and tickled his stomach lightly. He shifted, mumbling an objection into my chest. "I'm sorry. Did you ask to be tickled more?" He quickly went to respond but was cut off by a giggling fit. I soon had him pinned under me, threateningly wiggling my fingers above his stomach. He'd screech and try to get away, all the while giggling his beautiful laugh. "Now, what happened to those hiccups?" He looked confused and breathed normally until he remembered his hiccup problem. He smiled up at me and hugged me. I was glad I'd locked his door, because this would look weird to walk in on. An older boy straddling your son as your son hides his face in the other's neck, arms hoisting him off the bed. Pete kissed my neck lightly and I slightly froze. He giggled as he played with my curls.
"I know you've liked me Mat. I give you props, you did a great job hiding it. It's just that Poofless tells each other everything and Preston tells me everything. So-"
"So Preston told you?" Pete nodded in my neck and hummed on the skin. "How attached are you to him exactly?" I asked and Pete fell back down laughing. His eyes were almost back to their normal color which made me happy.
"I like how you didn't even try to deny it." Pete said as he laid beneath me. "So my Noochm loves me. How long?"
"Psh, how long ago did we meet?" I asked him and his eyes widened.
"That long?! And you still weren't planing on telling me?!" He asked as he sat up, making me sit down across from him.
"Once I got the guts to you met Kara and fell in love." I mumbled quietly and he looked at me sympathetically.
"Mat, why didn't you-"
"Tell you? Why, so I'd lose my best friend? You were in love Petey, you still are. I shouldn't have told Rob to begin with." I held my head in my hands and felt him move towards me.
"If I kiss you, would you forgive me?" Pete asked quietly. I looked up to see him leaning in. I met him the last bit and felt butterflies erupt in my stomach. I melted completely and dragged Pete onto my lap. He wrapped his arms around my neck and we stayed like that for a while. After a few minutes that felt like years, we split apart to breath. I smiled at him, and my phone began ringing.
"Hey mom, what's up?" I answered with Pete still on my lap smiling widely.
"Matthew. Where are you?" My mother asked.
"Brandon's house, why? What's going on mom?" I heard a sob and I panicked. "What happened? Did someone get hurt?"
"No Matthew. We have to move again. We got stationed in New Jersey. I'm sorry." I let a sob escape my mouth as I looked at Pete. I just got him too...
