Time Warp AU - Preview

Weeks and a surprise freelance project later, I’m finally starting to wrap up the Pete Hurt/Comfort chapter we polled about a little while back (thanks for everybody who voted/commented btw). I’m hoping to have this up this week, but in the meantime, here’s a little sneak-peak: 

Tom snickered, ducking out of the way of the whack Pete swung at him before holding his hands up in surrender. 

“Seriously though, happy birthday,” he said, shooting Pete a warm smile that made his stomach do that fluttering thing he’d noticed it doing more and more often. 

Smiling himself, Pete shrugged. 

“Thanks,” he said. “It’s not really a big deal.”

“Well, as somebody with a vested interest in your being born, I reckon it is,” Tom retorted. 

Pete scoffed, a teasing grin tugging at his lips as he folded his arms over his knees. 

“A vested interest, huh?”

“Don’t let it get to your head.”

“Nawww, you do like me,” Pete snickered. 

“You’re letting it get to your head.” 

“Is that why you brought me out here, to confess your undying love?” 

“In. your. dreams,” Tom scoffed, rolling his eyes. “Bringing you out here was my present to both you and Mav.” 

“How is me going to go for a ride and getting bought breakfast a present for Maverick? 

“You going for a ride and getting bought breakfast means both you and I are here, not at home. Which means Mav and Ice have the whole place to themselves, all morning. And also means there’s no chance of either of us overhearing anything and being scarred for life.” 

Pete blinked at that, before pulling a face at the thought of Mav’s birthday ride and announcing, utterly serious, “You’re the best friend a guy could ever ask for.”

“I know.”
