Greetings! I just wanted to say how much it means to have so much love for this fic! And I am sorry for such slow updates! But I am working on many of the future chapters while I have them in my head, since not all of them go together, everyone's stuff is mostly separate.

That said, just as a heads up, this is a relationship origin story for Raivis and Peter~ Enjoy their back story before Rai gets introduced to Berwald and Tino~

Raivis sighed as he stepped off the bus, he felt like someone might as well toss him off like unwanted left over items. He near despised this place he was forced to go to day after day, at least no one bothered him there, like at school. Suppressing a shutter he pushed on to find somewhere to sit and wait to go home after another long day at school.

He felt way to old to not be trusted to stay home alone, it hardly seemed fair to him. Raivis was 15 years old! He was in the ninth grade already, high school, and his parents still didn't let him stay home by himself. What was he really gonna do? He was impossibly obedient and well behaved, Raivis couldn't understand why his parents wouldn't just let him go home after school.

Instead, Raivis was forced to come to this after school program where children with parents that worked later were sent. They did homework, studied and played all sorts of games. Both inside and out, kids basically had one big recess for two hours after school.

But what fun was that when everyone there was years younger than you and you weren't exactly a social butterfly? Raivis never really talked up in high school as it was, everyone was so intimidating there or would just ignore you all together. Sometimes it was better to be ignored...Raivis wished he could be more invisible to a certain upper classmen, the Russian boy really needed to leave him alone.

So Raivis did what he did everyday, after every school day, at this miserably lonely and confining space. He pulled out his homework and got it out of the way, might as well do something useful while he was forced to stay here. It was the only useful thing about it, though he felt like it would be the same in his own room, in his own house.

Time dwindled by so painfully slowly and doing the work did nothing to speed it up or fill it. Raivis sighed, closing his note book as he finished his work and put it back in his backpack. He still had nearly the full two hours left! How boring.

"Hi!" A loud and chirpy voice suddenly appeared next to Raivis, causing him to jump nearly out of his skin, always the skiddish type.

"W-What?" He looked up to see a blond boy, a few years younger than him, Raivis guessed and wearing...a sailor outfit? Surely he was to old to be forced to wear that...

"Silly, I said 'hi'!" The boy grinned so bright Raivis wished to shield his eyes.

"O-Oh...um...hello?" He wasn't really used to anyone coming up to talk to him here, he was rather taken by surprise.

"My name is the great Peter Kirkland!" Peter positively beamed, bouncing on the ball of his feet. "What's your name?" There was a slight British accent that the older teen could detect.

"My n-name is Raivis Galante..." He inched away from this hyped up boy, Peter was making him feel uncomfortable. Not used to such openness.

"That's a cool name! Hey, wanna play with me?" He asked, tilting his head to the side in an adorable childish manner.

"Play? I...um..w-well..." Raivis mumbled, not sure about this friendly gesture, since a very young age Raivis has been given very many reasons to not be trusting.

"Why do you talk like that?" Peter, completely ignoring his delay.

"L-Like what?"

"Like that! You skip like a scratchy CD! And something else, like my older mean brother, but different!" He said as if it were so obvious and explained perfectly.

"Um...o-oh...you mean my a-accent?" He asked, copying the boy by tilting his head confused.

"Yea! That's what it's called! You have a funny accent!" Peter grinned, feeling accomplished with the new word at his disposal.

Raivis didn't find it as amazing, it seem more insulting even if Peter was younger and probably still didn't know better to say things like that. "Y-Yea..."

"Oh no! Not funny ha-ha!" Peter waves his hands, sensing the tone from the teen. "I meant like neat! I like it! It sounds super cool!"

Raivis blushed lightly, no one had ever mention anything about him being very interesting or 'super-cool'. "Um, w-well thank you...? I'm from L-Latvia...m-my parents moved us here w-when I was about eight." He explained softly, nearly squeaking when Peter plopped down right next to him almost right on him!

"Lat...viiia? Latvia. Where's that?" He asked, curiously and digging out a book from his own book bag and pulling out a book with maps. "Could you point it out?"

The Latvian smiled lightly and opened the book to a page that showed the northern part of Europe. He pointed out his home country to the little boy, Raivis watched as Peter's sea blue eyes lit up with interest.

"This is Latvia and the rest of the Baltics." Raivis explained, pointing the different countries.

"Awesome! I wanna know everything about it!" Peter looked at Raivis, waiting to hear just that.

"E-Everything?"

"Yea! All that you know! It must be really cool!" Peter declared.

"W-Why do you say that?"

"Cause you're from there and you're pretty cool!" Peter grinned, looking back at the book, flipping through it to find a closer picture of the country.

Raivis blushed flattered, sure it was just a kid and they thought everything was cool; but he couldn't help feel happy to hear it. He was never been complimented so much before, maybe they could even be...friends. Raivis would like a friend at this dreadful place.

Peter was such a chatty person and also very curious, asking him millions of questions about Raivis' native country. The Latvian tried to do his best to answer everything, even the questions of different topics. He learned that Peter was actually not that much younger than him, only in the eighth grade. He also found out he was born on this weird barge that Peter swore was a real nation called Sealand.

It was soon Raivis' turn to start asking him questions and it the look on Peter's face screamed, 'I've been waiting all my life to explain my nation!' Which he did with great pride and enthusiasm. The teen had no idea about the old fort that was abandon shortly after the second world war, seemed an odd thing for England to do. Raivis was very much enjoying the history lesson and sharing stories with Peter. He hadn't had this much fun in a long time.

Before either of the boys realized it, it was already time for the parents to start picking up their kids. They didn't pay it much mind, they were close enough to where they would get picked up and kept talking and laughing together. Raivis didn't even notice that he let Peter lean against him until the laughing boy accidentally bumped against a certain rib.

"AH!" Raivis hissed, holding the sore area, trying to cover up the pain.

"Eh? Are you okay?" Peter asked worried.

"Y-Yea...I just...fell during gym t-today...t-that's all, s-so I'm sore..heh." He laughed nervously, more so when Peter frowned and Raivis knew Peter thought he was fibbing.

"I..." BEEP BEEP. Peter looked over and saw a very familiar car waiting for him to come. "I...hmm..I have to go..." He pouted at the teen, not wanting to leave. Raivis didn't want him to go either, he was having so much fun. "I'll see you here tomorrow right?"

"J-Ja! I come here e-everyday of the we-week." Raivis squeaked when the little Sealander hugged him, giving him a quick nuzzle on top of that before dashing off to his car.

"Bye..." Raivis, for the first time, couldn't wait to come back here.

Over the next three weeks Raivis started actually looking forward to getting on the bus to go to that hell hole. Now though, it was much more enjoyable to go to. Getting to hang out with Peter was always so much fun! Sure he talked a whole lot, but Raivis didn't mind, he liked to listen.

Peter always came up with the wildest ideas and liked to make up stories. He always had something to say and nothing could hold him back. Raivis was very encouraged to talk too, of course, and he didn't feel like he had anything to share and Peter thought that was crazy. Peter complimented him and made him feel more like a real person than the Latvian had felt in a very long time.

They did homework together, studied some and all the while just chatting about whatever came to mind. It was so calm and came so easy. Raivis had never had a close friend before and it was just so wonderful and there was something about Peter that just calmed him. The Latvian was usually a bundle of nerves, easily startled, usually shaking and stuttering every minute. But with Peter, Raivis was put at ease and there was no expectations. Peter caused no pressure and was only demanding about having the teen make a decision for once.

In a short amount of time they had become very close and would either spend their two hours either sitting around talking or walking the perimeter. Peter said it was good thing to get exercise once and while and not just sit around being lazy all the time. Peter always had funny reasons for lots of things and Raivis liked them all, he's never heard such crazy things.

One afternoon while they were finishing up some homework, sitting in some rare quiet. Raivis was working on the last few algebra questions, feeling comfortable enough to let Peter lean against him as he worked on his own math paper. It was a peaceful warm day out and even the time at school hadn't been terrible for the Latvian for once. It was just great.

"Hey Rai, I have a question."

The teen tried not to laugh, Peter always had so many questions. "Yes Peter?"

"In high school, do a lot of people start dating?" That was certainly not a subject they have talked about before, Peter seemed to be a rather sheltered child from Raivis had found. It was interesting why he brought that up.

"Um, yea, I suppose so. I have seen a lot of couples around school, but that happens a lot in high school." The teen shrugged, not thinking it was big deal, he never focused on that stuff. None of his business after all.

"It doesn't happen much in middle school. Its apparently a big deal if your dating someone at my school. Like its something real grown up. Is it?" Peter asked curiously, he had seen a couple holding hands today and kissing! In public! He'd never seen stuff like that before.

"Hmm, well in a way it is grown up. When your just a kid that stuff isn't important cause they haven't gone through puberty. Its the hormones that make it important and more noticeable." Raivis explained, but felt that was a bit over his head since Peter just have him a confused look. "Um...okay, so when you get into high school its around when people hit puberty and all this stuff starts happening inside your body...and...and.." He trailed off, starting to get uncomfortable, he didn't really like that part of health class after all. "Stuff just changes the way you think."

"Um...okay?" Peter was still confused, but went with another question. "Why do people kiss each other?"

Raivis blushed, he didn't want to talk about that stuff! "W-Well um..I uh...gu-guess cause its nice?"

"Nice? Come on Rai, you've gotta do better than that. Kittens are nice, how is that comparable?"

The pre-teen did have a point. "Well...um, let's s-see..." He tried to think of a good way to explain. "I-Its um...the r-reason is cause its s-supposed to be something a c-couple does to show affection and um..love I guess...and its s-supposed to feel really good, that's why t-they do it all the time."

Peter nodded along, taking in all the information with great interest but after a minute froze. "Wait, what?" He sat up straight and moved in front of his older friend, sitting on his knees as he asked more. "You haven't kissed someone before?"

Raivis' blush went wild, how did this become about him!? "I-I...I...n-never had o-occasion is all..."

"But you're in high school! High schoolers do all sorts of stuff!"

"H-Hey! I'm o-only in the n-ninth grade!" Raivis defended, he didn't want to talk about something so embarrassing.

"Hmm, you have a point." Raivis sighed relived. "I mean, I haven't kissed anyone either."

Raivis nodded in understanding, praying this subject was now dead and over with so he could just go back to his homework. But in all his 15 years, he's never really been all that lucky.

"I have a great idea!" Peter announced. It filled Raivis with dread, he's heard that before and nothing nice followed it. "I've heard that girls, at like sleep overs, they practice. We could do that."

"P-Practice?" Raivis wasn't sure about where Peter was going with this.

Peter saw the hesitation but he was determined to see what the big deal was about! He scooted closer to his friend, taking the text book from him and putting it aside. Raivis looked like he was a trapped animal and it unsettled the Sealander, he didn't want to upset him.

"W-We don't have to..." Peter mumbled softly. "I was just thinking...since neither of us had..."

"Um..." Raivis was surprised that for once, Peter had stuttered, he seemed nervous too. He just wasn't sure about this, when you get his age kissing was a much bigger deal and meant more than it would to Peter. "I g-guess it would b-be okay.." What the hell was he saying?! That was not the answer he was going to give!

Raivis didn't have time to regret it or think, Peter was so close to his face so fast it made him dizzy. He was a breath away, Raivis gasped softly, how on earth did Peter smell like the sea? Both of their faces were glowing red as they look into each other eyes.

Raivis' heart pounded, this was a horrible idea, it was all wrong. What if it ruined everything? He had never been so close to someone before and he never really noticed when started caring for Peter so deeply, but it happened. This is why it was so terrible.

What was worse is that Peter wasn't doing anything! They just kept staring at each other, like waiting for the other to make a move. Peter had never had any trouble about taking charge, it was his idea, get it over with already! Raivis wasn't comforted, because he still couldn't speak up, not with the younger teen looking at him the way he was. A lump was forming his throat and he swallowed nervously, what was going on in that boy's head?

It drove Raivis crazy and he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed Peter by the sailor collar and pulled him so their lips meet. He figured it would hurt more than it did the way he grabbed him, but it was still a soft innocent kiss. Peter was shock still, completely thrown off not expecting the shaky Latvian to make the first move. He was going to do it himself, after he worked up the nerve.

After the instal shock wore off, Peter melted against Raivis, stomach a flutter when the older moved his lips and he followed. It felt like fireworks were going off in the Sealander's head, pleasing tingles going down his spine. Raivis seemed to know what he was doing, Peter found it hard to believe he hadn't kissed anyone.

Kissing was a lot more intense than Peter had first thought it could be, it was overwhelming and yet strangely calming all at the same time. Raivis' hands relaxed and moved to his shoulder, squeezing them lightly, pulling the boy closer. Peter didn't know what to do with his hands so he just wrapped his arms around the older blond's waist. The Latvian made a small noise in the back of his throat and it was anything but displeased.

Soon the painful lack of air hit them both and they had to pull away, their breathing a little heavier. Peter subconsciously licked his lips, they were tingling like they were on fire. He felt dizzy and rather giddy.

"W-Wow...so t-that's why people kiss...heh." It was all Peter could think to say after they caught their breaths.

Raivis nodded, it had been amazing, absolutely. It made him feel even more conflicted than before, Peter would never understand what it meant to him.

Peter was having a hard time seeing straight, still incredibly dizzy, he had to rest his head on Raivis' shoulder. He could feel the older teen's chest rising and falling with the light pants fall from his lips. Peter tightened his arms around the Latvian's waist, grinning so wide it hurt his face and he didn't even care, that was the best thing ever!

A deep shuttered racked through Raivis, he couldn't hold it back and when Peter looked up at him, he averted his violet eyes. Raivis' face was burning and he couldn't believe that just happened! He wanted to crawl under a rock and just stay there till he died.

"Was it bad?" Peter pouted, misjudging the reaction the older teen was having.

"N-No...it w-wasn't bad." Raivis mumbled, embarrassed and conflicted. This wasn't fair! He had only wanted a friend! Not this, it was so complicated and not what he thought it would be. This wasn't apart of the plan, Peter was never apart of the plan either.

"Raivis...?" Peter's voice dripped with concerned and when the boy's thumb brushed against the older's cheek he knew why, Raivis had silently started crying. Peter banished the tears as they threatened to come. "Did...Did I really mess up that bad? I didn't mean to make you cry! I'm sorry!" There was panic in his voice and it creaked with worry.

"P-Peter calm down."

"Calm down?! You're crying!"

"I'm a-always crying..." He muttered, it was an automatic response.

"What?! That's terrible!" Peter pulled him close with the hold he already had, nuzzling the Latvian's wet cheek. "I don't want you to ever be sad!"

"I'm n-not sad..." To be honest was more frustrated than sad. Peter just didn't get it, why would he, he's just a kid.

"But you're crying cause I suck at kissing!"

Raivis sighed aggravated, wiping his face clean. "N-No you don't, it was..." He gulped down his nerves. "Amazing...b-but we shouldn't have d-done that..."

"Huh? Why not?" Peter frowned, still wanting to know what was upsetting his best friend.

"B-Because we're b-both boys and...um..."

"So what? Boys can kiss if they want to." Peter countered. "There's nothing wrong with it."

Raivis almost whined, he was trying to make a point. "T-That's not really...its beside the p-point."

"What point?"

"Agh! You just don't get it! How are you this naive Peter?" He snapped, he just couldn't take it. "You're not even young enough to not know better! This was a big deal! You're so innocent some times, it hurts!"

"Hey..."

Raivis grabbed him by the collar again, keeping the Sealander's full attention. "That kiss was the most amazing thing to happen to me all year and I shouldn't have let it happen. Why do you keep messing with my head, you are driving me crazy!"

"Wha...?"

"I don't know what it is, but you just do! Not always in a bad way but its still so confusing and I can't handle this stuff! Its never happened to me before! Screw these changes and stupid hormones!" He ranted, letting go and pathetically burying his face in Peter's chest.

"Rai...what the heck are you talking about?" He asked, holding him close and rubbing his back to try to comfort the teen who seemed to be having some kind of nervous break down.

Raivis groaned into Peter's shirt, fisting the fabric in his hands. "I like you, you idiot." He mumbled frustrated. "Like-like you." The Latvian decided to clarify just in case, recalling the middle school term.

Peter kinda just sat there...taking in the news and slowly letting the gears of his mind start back up again. His mouth opened and closed, making him look like a fish gulping for air...or water. It was a good thing the Latvian's face was still hiding his shirt so not to see the stupid look on his face.

The silence ate away at the teen's heart, intensifying the ache. He felt so raw, like he's been exposed because there was no taking it back and he'd just spoiled everything. Raivis didn't know what to think or what to do next.

Raivis felt Peter swallow nervously, the hand rubbing his back starting to tremble.

"I..." Raivis peeked up at the younger teen, he was nervous and blushing and it was something the Latvian had never seen Peter look like before. "I've h-had a bit of a c-crush on you for awhile...a-actually a long w-while..."

"W-What?" He was completely stunned, how could that be?

"Well...see..." Peter looked off to the side. "B-Before I came up to talk you...I always saw you around and well." The blush darkened. "I always thought you were pretty c-cute...and you looked lonely, but was nervous about coming up to you."

Raivis couldn't believe what he was hearing. Nervous and Peter could hardly be used in the same sentence unless the sentence was; 'Raivis was always nervous around Peter.' Peter was fearless, daring and always took charge with such boldness. Raivis couldn't intimidate a fly. And Peter actually...The Latvian had never blushed so much in his short life.

"R-Really?" It was all he could think of to say, it was just to unbelievable.

"Y-Yes really." Peter looked him straight in the eyes with such determination it sent shivers down Raivis' spine. "I like you so much and, well, I want to be your b-boyfriend. P-Please."

It was so cute when Peter blushed and stuttered like that and with that serious look on his face, it was almost comical.

"Yes!" Raivis blushed at his own eagerness. "I w-would like that alot.."

Those beautiful sea blue eyes lit up brighter than ever before and before Raivis could blink, their lips were connected again. This time it was more intense and not so innocent on Raivis' side. It was true he never kissed anyone else, but he loved romance movies and novels and knew a few...tricks.

He had a few ideas he had always wanted to try to see if it actually felt as nice as it seemed to in his books. He ran his fingers through Peter's short blond tresses, feeling a shiver going through him. Raivis relished in that, slightly deepening the kiss and Peter followed his lead. It was so odd, Peter was the more forward one and here shy little Rai was dominating their kiss. He did know a bit more so it seemed understandable. In that case, Raivis wanted to try something he was always curious about.

Raivis tried not to laugh when Peter jumped slightly when the Latvian was bold enough to lick at the younger boy's bottom lip. He did it again and Peter parted his lips as if to ask what he was doing, it was the perfect opportunity to sneak in. When their tongues met, the teens jolted at the brand new sensation. The strange feeling went straight to their stomachs, it wasn't unpleasant but it was so different it made them both pull away at the same time.

"S-Sorry..." Raivis mumbled, he was so embarrassed, he couldn't believe he just did that! That was way too soon! Peter was his first boyfriend, first kiss, he had no idea what he was doing.

"Y-You licked me..."

"I'm s-sorry! I've just...well...I've always wanted to try that...its called F-French kissing..." Raivis explained, hiding his face in his hands.

"Heh...it was...kinda nice...but weird...Rai? What are you doing?" Peter asked trying to pull the others hands away.

"N-No!" He whined. "I f-feel stupid!"

"But you're not stupid, you're just cute." Finally getting the hands out of the way and kissed the teen's warm cheek. "Its alright, really."

Raivis nodded, still not looking him in the eye. He was starting to feel really awkward, Peter was practically in his lap and they were still surround by students and workers. How no one had seen them this whole time was mystery that the Latvian did not care if it was solved.

"U-Um..." He wasn't sure how to bring up they shouldn't be doing so much PDA out in the open. "P-Peter?"

"Yea Rai?" Peter was grinning ear to ear, like he was never happier than this moment and it made Raivis' stomach flip flop and the words die in his throat.

"N-Nothing..." He mumbled, deciding it didn't matter since no one seemed to be paying them any notice, pulling Peter closer to him smiling himself when he was snuggled up to. Raivis hummed contented, really enjoying Peter's warmth even if the weather out was nice out already.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Neither of them had even noticed the cars starting to show up and had to pull away from each other, very reluctantly. They shared a look and didn't even voice the protest of not wanting to part, it was clear. As they packed up their things, Peter spotted his parents car and had to go soon, but he took his sweet time.

"I'll see you tomorrow..." It seemed so much sadder today to say it, but it was something they couldn't avoid. Peter snuck a kiss to his cheek since his parents wouldn't be able to see it.

"O-Okay..." Despite how he felt, Raivis smiled, cause there would be tomorrow and it would be more amazing cause Peter was finally all his. He waved as Peter made his way over to his car. Oh yes, tomorrow was going to be great.

But as it has been said, in all of Raivis' 15 years, he's never been all that lucky.

The next day, Raivis had decided, as their first day as official boyfriends, that he should look nice! It wasn't like they were going on a date at that horrid place, but it would just be nice. As he picked out a plain maroon button up shirt, he couldn't help but feel a little giddy. If only he didn't have to wait the whole school day to see him!

Peter was the only light in his life, his only real friend. Sure he had a few people in highschool that he talked to, but not like he had with Peter. It wasn't only because he was romantically interested in the eighth grader, that was just a bonus. The Sealander was just the only one he's been able to really connect with, to really call a friend. With all the things he had to deal with, Peter was truly worth feeling giddy over.

Raivis checked and rechecked himself in the mirror, trying to tame his naturally messy hair, it never wanted to behave! He attempted once more to fix it before he gave up. He still looked nice...to him he did, so that counted, right? His nice button up shirt, clean and hole free jeans, his best try at taming his hair. It was nicer than he usually looked, especially with a bright smile on his face.

The bus ride and first two periods went by in a daze, Raivis really couldn't bother to focus, it wasn't like he cared all that much for his studies as it was. He was just to happy to see Peter in a few more hours, nothing else mattered. Doodling in his note books, reading one of his novels and plenty of day dreaming. Why wouldn't the clock just move faster?

Lunch time finally came and at least he didn't have to pretend to pay attention to his teachers anymore. He literally skipped all the way to his locker to fetch his lunch bag, he hoped he had at least paid attention while make his sandwich this morning.

"Ah~ Little Raivis is so happy today, da~?" A near child like voice made him freeze with his hand on the combination. "Oh my, did you dress up just for me? How sweet of you, you didn't have to do that." A dark sort of laugh pasted the pale lips of the Russian towering behind Raivis, a large hand coming down to grip his shoulder, he could feel Ivan lean down and whisper in his ear. "Finally came around to wanting to being mine, da?"

Maybe he should have just stayed home today?

Raivis stepped off the bus to the wretched place he had come to loath, trying to wrap a very worn zip up hoodie more around him. It was far from cold, but he wasn't trying to keep it out, he wanted to be covered, protected. He was far from his danger, but that didn't make him feel the slight bit better.

He felt almost nauseous and definitely dirty, but he could nothing to be clean again. Raivis silently made his way far from where he and Peter usually met up or hung out at, he had so looked forward to seeing him, but it was ruined. He didn't have the energy to fake it today, he couldn't face Peter and lie to him.

Raivis hissed softly as he settled down under a tree on the other side of the campus they used to let the children run around at, it was so much worse than usually today. He peeked under his shirt, it was already a dark burise and his shirt was stained. He should have closed his locker, why did he even open it? It never hurt any less, or got any better, how would this toughen him up if all he was doing was getting hurt?

He rested his head against the tree, glad his tears were all cried out earlier, he didn't want some random kid coming up to him to ask him what's wrong. Or a teacher.

Oh god...or Peter! How did he find him? Raivis internally groaned as the younger blond jogged up to him, bright smile on his face. Raivis straightened up, hoping, no praying the look on his face wasn't so lost and hopeless as he felt. Peter plopped down next to him, dropping his bag next to the Latvians.

"Hey Rai, why are you all the way over...what's wrong?" His smile slowly melted away into worry, seeing right through his brand new boyfriend.

"N-Nothing...I j-just wanted to be over h-here today, I knew you w-would find me." He lied, eyes anywhere but on Peter. The younger boy caught his chin and forced him to look at him, was this horrible day ever going to end?

"Raivis, come on, I know when you lie." Peter was firm and very serious, it didn't suit him in Raivis' opinion.

"I j-just had a b-bad day is all...h-high school is s-stupid." He mumbled, casting his eyes down, suppressing the urge tremble under the eyes that held the ocean.

"Okay..." Peter said softly, letting him go and moving next to him. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to..." He gently pulled the older boy into a hug, Raivis gratefully nuzzled his face into his shoulder. "But if you ever do...or about anything at all, you can always tell me no matter what is, I'll always be here to listen."

Raivis almost started crying right than and there, but instead he just threw his arms around Peter and held him tight, burying his face in his chest. "O-Oh Peter, you're s-so wonderful..." It was muffled in his shirt, but the Sealander still heard and smiled, softly running his fingers through Raivis' wheat blond hair.

"I'll always be wonderful to you." He softly kissed the top of his boyfriend's head, feeling the teen relax more. It only made Peter happier that he seemed to actually be helping. "Hey Rai?"

The older boy hm'ed to show he was listening, near crawling into Peter's lap, soaking up every drop of comfort he could from him. The more he shifted, the more his hoodie pulled down.

"Why are you so dressed up under that?" Peter asked, tugging at the near ratty hoodie, seeing the button up shirt collar poking out. "It's a little late in the year for picture day, isn't it?"

Raivis hissed when Peter rested his hand at his waist and tried to cover it up, to come up with an excuse for answer, but Peter was quick to notice. His hand already at the zipper, pulling it down to revel the stain.

"W-What is that?" Peter sat up straighter, swatting away Raivis' hands as he tried to hide it. The pre-teen quickly unbuttoned the bottom buttons of his shirt and gasped in horror.

"I-It's not that bad!" Raivis deafened, pulling his shirt closed hating the look on Peter's face. "I just...I tripped into my open locker...I've been clumsy all day...t-that's why it's been so bad."

Peter seemed to accept the lie without question. "Did you at least go see the nurse?" He wanted to see it again, just to make sure it wasn't still bleeding.

"No...what would she do? It's just a bruise and a scratch. Nothing serious...it just looks bad..." He mumbled, unable to look him in the eye.

"Rai, you should have gone anyway. You should be more careful." Peter lightly scolded out of worry, but kissed his cheek for comfort. "I'm sorry you got hurt."

"Don't be..." Raivis looked up and gave Peter a peck on the lips, it's what he wanted all day and he wasn't going to go without it. Peter's eyes lit up so brightly they almost turned a lighter shade and the smile on his face, oh god, it melted Raivis' heart. "Cute.."

"S-Shush up..." Peter mumbled, blush so clear on his face, kids across the field could probably see it. "I was looking forward to a kiss all day."

"So have I..." Raivis finally let a small smile grace his face, which grew some as they shared a proper kiss. There was just something about the way their lips melded perfectly together that he just couldn't get over.

Peter just had this incredible way of washing away every bad thing that happened, with light kisses and being used as a teddy bear. It all chased away his dark thoughts because Peter Kirkland was his light, his sun.

It was a good day after all.
