Pete paused as he walked into the bathroom. There was crying in the first stall and he was pretty sure whoever it was hadn’t heard him come in. The wise choice here would have been to just turn around and walk out, but he instead found himself nearing the stall, "Hey uh- you okay in there?"


The sniffing briefly ceased and then a meek voice asked, "Who's this?"


Pete sighed, "Uh, Pete. From Fall Out Boy."


"Oh."


After an awkward moment of complete silence the door creaked open, revealing the little emo kid from From First To Last. Tears were still glistening on his face, but Pete imagined that he looked significantly less collected not long ago. Pete took a hesitant step towards him, like he was approaching a skittish prey animal. Sonny didn't move.


The older man scratched at his neck as he suggested, "Do you want to… talk about it? I promise not to be inconsiderate or whatever."


Sonny looked down at his nails.


"I just, um, feel fat, I guess. I'm scared of meals and I can't remember the last time my hands were warm and not constantly shaking and-" He coughed on a sob, "Sorry."


Pete noted how this kid was probably, like, 17 and pursed his lips. He replied, "It's okay, dude, just uh… I don't know. It feels really risky. Also aren't you out there screaming in all your songs?"


"No, uh. Yeah, I know," Sonny answered, eyeing the door behind Pete. 


The subtle movement isn't lost on Pete and he frowned, "Sorry, should I go?"


"You're okay. Just really awkward."


Pete nodded understandingly, "Yeah, I get that. Look, I'm not a therapist or anything, but- dunno. Talk to someone about it or something. I'm sure you'll figure it all out."


"Sure," Sonny answered.
