'Hey' Myka said to Steve as she came down the stairs and walked through the room and to the table, placing a hand on his back

'Hum …' Steve answered while playing with his cereal

Myka walked into the kitchen where Pete was stood preparing some food, she walked up next to him and said

'How's he doing ?' quietly so as Steve couldn't hear her

'Neahh, he been staring into his bowl for about half an hour now …' keeping his voice low

Myka sighed, placing a hand on her hip and leaning against the counter side watching Steve play with his food

'Did Claudia say when she'll be back ?' Myka asked turning her head to look at Pete when talking

'She's guna stay a few more days, they haven't had a chance to visit the city with Josh being so busy, I told her that's fine' Pete said with a slight annoyance in his voice

'Well he doesn't want to ruin her trip so he wont phone her. And you've said nothing right ?' Myka said, knowing he was angry at Claudia, even though she's done nothing wrong

'No Iv said nothing … and I know but look at him Myka's he's been like that for days and he barely speaks to us … he need Claudia' Pete said while briefly pointing at Steve

'Iv already try'd to talk to him but I don't get much out of him … Why don't you try ?' Myka asked facing Pete giving him that You've got no choice look

'I'm no good at that girl'y talk, how am I meant to relate with him ?' Pete said knowing it was no good to argue, he knew he had no choice

Myka knew how to get Pete to do something, and it was usually with the same look she was giving him now, or cookies ...

Pete looked at Myka, then gave out a sigh 'Fine, I'll talk to him later' Pete picked up his plate of food and his glass of milk and walked into the dining room and sat at the table, Myka soon followed with a variant of fruit and a Twinkie Pete looked and just giggled Myka gave a little smirk Steve just sat and played with his mushy cereal

The rest of the morning went on like it had for the past few days, Myka and Pete finished getting ready and set of to the warehouse, Steve joined them at the warehouse a short time after

The outer office door opened with a woosh and Steve walked through quickly turning and sat at the small table next to the file cabinets, he then began sorting through the mountains of paper work, Myka and Pete walked into the office; Myka waved to him but with him barley visible through the huge pile of paper work he was none the wiser that they were even there, Myka nudged Pete and when he looked at her in confusion she nodded her head at Steve, Pete turned and saw Steve

'Ok, I'm just guna go look for this, I'll be gone for a while I have a few other things I wana check out so i'll see you later' Myka said sure to be loud and clear

'Ok, See you later' Pete reply'd as she walked out of the office and headed down to the warehouse floor

Pete started nervously pottering around the desk but there was only a few papers out of order since Steve had cleaned the office yesterday so it didn't take long for Pete to run out of things to do, besides the noise of shuffling papers it was almost silent and erry; Pete sat opposite Steve on the small round table, Pete picked up a piece of paper so he could lean on the table, he put it on a stack of papers next to him

'Wrong pile' Steve said with a bland tone of voice

'Oh sorry' Pete said and after looking for somewhere to put it he then stretched across the table and held it out to Steve

Steve looked up from the work he was righting on took the paper and put it on a stack next to him on the floor

'Sooo … Lots of paper work eah ?' Pete was unsure as to how to start

'Uhm' Steve reply'd

After about a minute which seemed like a lifetime to Pete he said

'Steve, I'm here if you need to talk, you know that right ?' Pete was sympathetic towards him, Steve put his pen down then put his head between his hands leaning against the table

'Its … Its just … I don't know ?!' Steve began to swell up with emotion and it became hard for him to talk

'Its ok, I get it; its usually me on the other side but its all good' Pete wasn't very good at comforting people but he tried his hardest, Pete saw a salty droplets fall from Steve's face; Pete jumped up and ran around the table he held Steve in his arms as he cried into his hands

That's when Artie walked in startling Pete, he stood next to Steve hiding him from Artie as he quickly walked through the office to the computer

'Where's Myka ?' he asked Pete, unable to see Steve

'Ermm.. She said she had a few things to do in the ovine quarantine' He shuffled to get between Artie and Steve

'great !' Artie snapped then picked up his bag and rushed out of the office and down the spiral stairs

once Pete was sure that Artie had gone he turned back around to Steve who was stood directly behind him, Steve's face was still a little red and some half dry'd tiers could be seen on his cheeks

'He's Go-' Pete try'd to say when Steve; using both hands grabbed Pete's T-shirt by the collar and pulled Pete in and down to meet his lips halfway, Steve cocked his head to the side when his lips mete Pete's. Steve shook Pete's world the embrace didn't last long but for Pete being around Steve slowed the world down, now time almost stood still for them.

…

Pete pulled himself back bending at the waist as he did, there lips just parted moist and stringy

then Pete yelled 'WHAT THE HEL-L STEVE ?!' His voice braking as he spoke

Steve stood almost as shocked as Pete … Almost, His eyes were dazed and slightly blood shot

'I- … I- …' Steve couldn't get his words out, that's when he bolted for the door; in such a rush he banged his shoulder on the side of the door with a loud thud.

Pete was stood there still all crunched up, tight with his mouth partly open and he stood staring at the seat where Steve was sat not long ago.

'Pete!' Myka shouted from around the corner waiting for the ok to come in, Pete jumped when he heard Myka; almost falling over from the shock, Pete paused for a moment still shaken up it was hard to talk straight

'Uh- Yeah, come in' he said voice shaky and slightly croaky

Myka walked into the office from the warehouse floor Artie close in tow, She had a small file in hand both of them walked in and started working on the computer

'Did you talk to Steve ?' she asked while still looking at the computer

'Errmm, I'll be rig-' Pete said nervously then walked out of the office the same way as Steve

Myka stood up and watched Pete leave with a curious look on her face.

When Pete got out Steve's car was missing along with any sign of Steve

Pete knew he had to talk to him so he started driving back to the B&B, in the middle of the main road he noticed Steve's car parked on the side; Pete pulled up behind Steve's car on the road.

Pete got out and went up to Steve's car window to look inside, the car was empty and the keys where still in the ignition; Pete turned around and looked out onto the empty valley below and he could just hear a slight whimpering, Pete looked down and just behind a big dried out bush he could see someone bobbing up and down, Pete moved to investigate inching his way down the steep slope the dry dirt gave way under Pete's foot and he fell forward down the side rolling further down the slope with low yells of pain as he rolled down creating a large dust cloud in his tracks

'Pet-e ?!' Steve cried out not able to see who it was but could hear the commotion

Pete hit the bottom of the slope soon enough; Steve carefully ran down the slop in aid of Pete careful not to join his fate

'Oh my god Pete are you alright ?!' Steve yelled as he knelt down at Pete's side

'Ughahh!, St-, Steve ?' Pete said looking at Steve trying to focus while he sat up of the floor

'your not hurt are you ?' Steve said quickly while looking Pete up and down searching for blood patting his body in a frantic search

'Steve !, haha; I'm fine I promise' Pete said with a giggle and held Steve's hands to stop his search

'Are you sure your Ok ?' Steve protested looking into Pete's eyes worry on his face

'Yes, what about you ?' Pete asked

Steve's face was bright red, vines popping out of his face and his checks almost entirely soaked in tiers, Steve remembered he was crying again only moments earlier, he raised his hands and shunned his face Steve began to stand up when Pete grabbed his fore-arm pulling him back down

'No, Don't run; I- … I don't know what happened but it doesn't matter because I'm here to help' Pete spoke clear and with care in his voice

Steve sat back down crossing his legs, joining Pete on the dirty ground

'I really am sorry Pete, i- I I don't know why I did it and I didn't mean to, its not that … Well with braking up with drake I just felt vulnerable and just-' Steve got faster and faster as he spoke almost as if he was being timed his hands gesture; moving almost as fast as he spoke

'Wooohhe, calm down; I get it, we all get it you don't have to explain it to me, unless you wana' Pete spoke calm and compassionately he placed a hand on Steve's knee and squeezed it a little, Steve and Pete smiled and looked at each other locking gazes

'Uh, Yeah! So shall we head back ?' Steve said while jumping up from his spot and wiped the side of his head with one hand and franticly waved the other in the direction of the cars

'Sure, As long as everything's cool between us ?' Pete held out a hand to Steve to ask for help

'Yeah, all'good' Steve helped Pete up of the floor and after Pete wiped himself of they carefully headed back up the slope to the cars, when they parted to there separate cars they looked at one another and passed a friendly smile between them.
