They're sketchy but they're here!! Couples costumes are serious business in the barrio 🎃

MISTLETOE !! @ofwrittenlegacy this is Your Damn Fault bc u made me think about christmas

> with carla and sonny combined, there’s mistletoe up literally everywhere, especially in doorways. its the Christmas Spirit guys !!!

> Obviously, benny and nina are far too adorable and kiss whenever they go under it,, wait for each other under it if one is just coming,,,, just , as if they arent sweet enough already !! as if they dont kiss every 5 seconds anyway!!! we get it youre the perfect couple!!! god i love them!!!!

> vanessa kisses usnavi with a bit of eye rolling and fake grudgingness and he Beams for like half an hour i love him

> EVERYBODY gets giggly cheek or forehead kisses from carla!!! she loves all her friends !! shell call them over to the doorway where a sprig is ,, “ninaaaa come heeeeeeere come here i love you!!!!”

> except dani !!! if u ship darla she gets a sweeeeet soft kiss on the lips,, if u dont she gets a quick peck on the cheek or on the back of her hand

> nina and vanessa, whether in a romantic or platonic relationship, have some  quick soft smiley kisses under it for the sake of tradition- i think, if theyre girlfriends, they dont really go for much PDA,, they like to keep it private? but For Tradition theyll have a lil kiss

> sonny, like carla, will kiss ALL HIS FRIENDS !! DAMN HE LOVES THEM ??? cheek kisses for all the girls !! nina kisses his cheek and he pretends to swoon to make her laugh

“i can hook you up. but it will take me all night.”

“no one knows about this except you and me, ok?”

Sonny and Pete for prompt #32: “You could have died.”

“Are you serious?” Pete laughed dryly. “You’re angry because I was on the subway tracks? That’s why you’re screaming at me?”

“Pete, you don’t understand!” Sonny took off his hat and ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. “It’s dangerous to be down in the tracks!”

“I’m down there all the time!” Pete replied, rolling his eyes.

“You could have died. It’s dark and muggy and loud down there.” Sonny was on the brink of tears, his heart beating fast in his chest.

“Again, I’m down there all the time. I’m always fine. Sonny, stop worrying. I know the train schedules.” The artist argued.

“But you don’t know what could happen. I can’t lose you because you’re down there and suddenly the trains are off schedule and zooming through the tracks and it comes up behind you and-”

“Sonny! Calm down.” Pete’s face softened when Sonny started crying while spewing out his words. “Calm down.” He repeated and drew the smaller boy into a hug. “I’m sorry I scared you.”

“You really, really scared me.” Sonny said quietly, burying his face into Pete’s shoulder.

“I didn’t…” Pete trailed off, losing his train of thought, upset he scared his boyfriend so much he started crying. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Just don’t do that again.” Sonny pulled back, sniffing and crossing his arms.

“I won’t.” Pete chuckled softly, sending Sonny a small, sad smile.

“I’m gonna need you to say that again so I can get it on tape.” Sonny joked, making Pete laugh and kiss his temple.

So, I wrote this for @the-undead-greaser because he’s my little brother and I love him very much. So, yeah, hope you all enjoy it. 

Sonny sighed as he finished his well needed pizza slice. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, making sure his whole mouth had been thoroughly cleaned. 

His eyes shifted upwards, soon rolling when he noticed that Stranger (as he liked to call him) was still staring at him. 

Sonny had been sitting in the food court for the past hour, happily munching away at the rest of the pizza he and Usnavi had been sharing.It wasn’t until his cousin left (for a date with Vanessa of course) that Sonny felt uneasy. After an unsuspicious check of the area, he noticed someone staring at him. 

The man was sitting about thee tables away, but had a perfect view of Sonny. Vice versa, Sonny could see the man clearly, he had a shaven head and a little ring on his left ear which suited him rather well. Little specks of paint covered his cheeks and forehead, something Sonny found quite endearing. 

He looked again, this time, the stranger’s head was down, his hand furiously moving up and down the paper sat in front of him. Sonny rolled his eyes, who did this guy think he was? Refusing to take any more of it, Sonny stood up and made his way to the man. 

“Hey, I’ve kept quiet so far but honestly I’m done. What is your problem man? Do you realise how creepy it is that you keep staring at me?”

A wave of regret washed over Sonny the moment he looked at the frown on Stranger’s face. “I-I’m sorry...I didn’t mean for you to be mad at me.”

The stranger kept his head down, beginning to pack up.  The paper in front of him showed to be a sketchbook, the page holding a rough drawing of...Sonny?

“Wait a minute,” Sonny held up a hand, walking closer to the stranger. “Is that, is that me?”

“Um, yeah. I’m sorry. I didn’t think, I’ve been trying to find something to draw all day and when I saw you I guess I just...” Stranger trailed off, looking back down at his sketch. 

“Just what?” Sonny asked quietly, his head tilting to the side. 

“Found my inspiration.”

A warm buzz made its presence known in Sonny’s heart. 

“I’m sorry, I really am. I’ll just get going now.” Stranger shook his head, putting his pencil behind his ear. 

“Hey man,” Sonny started, placing a hand on the man’s shoulder, making him look up. “Don’t go, I’m sorry. I’m just a bit mad because my cousin ditched me to go on a date.”

“Hey it’s fine. Don’t worry, I understand. If you’re here alone, then why don’t you come and sit down with me?” 

Stranger looked up, a sort of begging evident in his eyes. Of course Sonny had no choice but to say yes. Sonny smiled, letting go of the man’s shoulder and pulling out a chair. 

“So, I’m Sonny.” 

“Nice to meet you,” Stranger held his hand out which Sonny shook, not missing the way his heart missed a beat or two when they touched and definitely not missing the way their hands seemed to fit together perfectly...”My friends call me Graffiti Pete but you can just call me Pete, whatever you like, I’m not fussed.”
