Powerless: Graffiti Pete x Sonny

10

"Hey! Sonny! Qué pasa?"Benny says, walking into the Bodega.

"Nothing much. Usnavi not here. He's with Nessa."

"I know. I came to talk with you."

"You did? Is this a trap of some sort?" He asks.

"No." Benny chuckles. "I just wanted to check in with you. How's it going? Anything new happen?" Benny asks. He's not a oblivious as Nina says. Definitely not as oblivious as Usnavi. He knows that there is something with Sonny and Graffiti Pete. He doesn't know what but has a feeling he can get it out of Sonny.

".. No, why? Did Nina say something?" He asks, somewhat frantic.

Benny smirks, "I don't know. You want to tell me something.. about you and a certain graffiti artist?"

"She told you were dating?!"

"Your dating? And you just did."

"You didn't know? Damn!" He groans.

"No. Sorry. Nina knows? Who else?" Benny asks.

"No one. Just Nina."

"You told her and not me? I'm hurt." He says placing his hand over his heart.

"I didn't exactly tell her...She... kinda walked in on us making out.." He says sheepishly. Benny bursts out laughing. "It's not funny, man! It was traumatizing."

"For who? Nina?" He says still laughing. "Why didn't you tell Usnavi?"

"I don't know. He doesn't really like Pete does he?" Sonny shrugs.

"You like him, right?" Sonny nods. "Then I dont think Usnavi has a right to say who you date. And if you're happy, he should be happy for you."

"Thanks Benny." Sonny smiles.

"No problem, kid. I'm going to see Nina. I'll see you later." Benny says, high fiving Sonny before leaving the bodega. Sonny jumps off the counter and goes to the fridge to grab a drink. Someone sneaks behind Sonny and wraps their hands around his waist.

"What ya doin' Sonshine?"

"Shit. Don't scare me like that Pete." Sonny turns around to look at him.

"Sorry Son. Want to go get ice cream?" Pete apologizes.

"Can't 'til Usnavi gets back."

"Dang. I'll wait with you then." Pete says, giving a quick kiss to Sonny before jumping up in the counter.
