this was how all trips should be. heading back to see david and alex and arin with his boyfriend by his side. honestly, he would leave david and the rest of the gang behind again just for this feeling of pure excitement that he got in traveling back to go see them. of course, he had already cheated a little. he had paid a visit to arin's humble abode with kyle (and stayed for a little while because arin was one for saying hello the proper way and wouldn't let either one of them leave until she had exhausted them) and asked where david lived and if the door was unlocked, how he could get in - all of that. he just wanted to surprise the man he loved and if he knew alex like he thought he did, he would have dinner set up at a certain time just waiting for david to drop in from work. and he knew alex like the back of his hand.
so after he left arin's (he had been sure to go in to see her almost as sure as they landed so he would have time not only to say hello and let her say hello to kyle but sleep as well), he made his way to david's, using the directions that his beautiful girl had given to him and a key to the place that she said she expected him to return back to her as soon as possible because she was not going without the possibility of dropping by to see all five of them (five? he'd questioned and that's when she'd mentioned someone named drew and something about ohio and he honestly wasn't listening to half of what she was saying because kyle was taking that moment to be incredibly distracting) when she got bored and needed somebody to torture. he was almost shaking with excitement and had to be calmed down by his boyfriend before they left the car to venture up to the front door.
admittedly, the house was very impressive though he didn't expect anything less from david. he always lived impressively, even if he didn't necessarily always need the rooms, though his foresight obviously saved them here, what with the entire gang being brought back together. he stood there with kyle's arms around him for a moment, looking up at their new home before the two ventured into the actual house. inside wasn't much different than what they were used to. style habits died hard, after all, and though a little arin influence was in there (as little as wilting flowers in a vase that obviously had been there since the first time she'd ventured into the place) it was still just as david as they remembered. peter hardly had time to admire decor, though, as smells wafted toward them from the kitchen and he knew that he had his scheduling right on time.
alex's scream when he saw the pair of them was rather impressive - the way he managed to tackle them both to the ground and attack their faces with kisses was more so and peter laughed and kissed his friend deeply before he let kyle take over. the two had always been closer anyway, in a way that he normally would be jealous of if it was anybody but alex. he just got up and dusted himself off, taking over where alex had left off stirring the soup while his boys said hello to one another and caught up while still managing to never get up off the floor. after a few minutes of this (and a lot of hugs and kisses and no, kyle, not in the kitchen moments) alex and kyle excused themselves to go play video games (and other things) while peter took over dinner, waiting for david to come home.
he finished up the soup, made some garlic bread, and even prepared something nice to drink, set the table with the food all spread out for four (since he knew kyle had worked up an appetite back at arin's and even if he hadn't, he still would devour the entire table anyway) and then took his seat facing the dining room door, sipping on a glass of water as he waited for his david to come back home to him.
