This was such a wonderful read! I don't think I've read any Pete/Mikey set current-day, especially with all of Pete's drama lately, and you took this moment and wrote a really appropriate, touching fic for it.
"Mikey?" Pete asks, as a heart explodes on the screen. Mikey hmphs in reply, he's got a blow-pop hanging out the side of his mouth and the sight should be way more hilarious than it is. When Pete doesn't continue straight away Mikey glances sideways at him, reflections of the television dancing in his eyes. For a moment Pete's transported back five years to a shared beer on a shared bunk. He longs to be there again, to be in Mikey's life like that, the way they were once, far too briefly.
This was a beautifully-written paragraph; I could picture it, smell it, feel it so well, and the way you capture Mikey's body language is fantastic. Great scene-setting! The sex was off the chaaaaain, holy shit. I think what struck me the most was how often we got to see Mikey through Pete's eyes: the sweep of his hair, the heat of his gaze without glasses, the long lines of his body, how sort of absurd but definitely hot he looks streaking naked down the hall, skinny and tall and the jut of his hard cock. Wow. I never realized how much people don't describe Mikey's physicality through Pete's eyes, but it shows me how attracted to him Pete is, and WHAT Pete is attracted to. It was spectacular. I especially loved Mikey having to hold himself off from coming a few times. <3333
