Summary
Ricky does a double-take. “Pete?” He smacks his forehead. “Woah, it is you. You— what are you doing here? I didn’t know you were in New York!”
“Yeah, I’ve been here for like.” Pete chews his lip. “Six years.”
“Six years?” Ricky gapes. “That’s a long time.”
That’s a long time to be living in the same city without reaching out once, is what he probably means.
“Yeah,” Pete says. He fidgets with his medical bracelet. “Yeah, it’s been awhile.”
(A songfic that poses the question: what if Ricky and Pete were estranged childhood best friends?)

Summary
“You won’t hurt anyone,” Ricky says.
Pete looks up at him and the tears start to spill over, in earnest. “I can’t help it. I can’t stop.”
“Hey, that’s not true,” Ricky says. He takes a step towards Pete, but doesn’t take another, as he suddenly realizes Pete may not want to be touched, or may not want Ricky to touch him, and the last thing Ricky wants to do is cross a line.
“See,” Pete says, his voice wobbling, “even you’re scared of me.”
