Peter
bites his lip not wanting to let go of Kraglin and whimpers before
sliding to his seat and fastens the seatbelt looking like he would fall
apart again.Kraglin grabbed his seatbelt and he happened to glance at Peter again. He paused, but then came to a decision. Instead of sitting in the window seat he scoot over toward the middle and straddled his legs over the weird little hump on the floor of the vehicle (why the hell was that thing there? To make children rebel, he supposed). He put on the little waist belt there, feeling incredibly awkward with his long legs, and then reached to put an arm around Peter’s shoulder.
Carlos looked at Kraglin through the rear-view mirror and frowned. “Kraglin, I can’t see,” he said.
“You can turn your head,” Kraglin told him a little snarkily, but he ducked his head a bit toward Peter anyway, rubbing the younger man’s shoulder.
Peter snuggles against him and looks at him. “L… Love ya…. bro….”
“C’mon, Pete… not in front of Carlos and his brother,” Kraglin said, but he still smiled at Peter and gave his shoulder a squeeze.
Carlos pulled them out of the parking lot and started to look around for the Wendy’s.
“Down the street,” Mikey told his brother helpfully.
Carlos nodded. “Thanks,” he said and started to drive. ‘Sorry… still trying to get my bearings.”
