Fic - I'm Not Okay - Jared/Peter - PG

Title - I'm Not Okay
Author - candypinksocks
Pairing - Peter/Jared
Rating - PG
Word count - 3000
Note: Came about because of a comment [livejournal.com profile] misslola89 made in the 'Freck' discussion thread.

I was thinking today, as sweet as it would be to see a Peter/Jared wedding, how awesome would it be if the case or whatever caused it had already happened and they've been married this whole time? Then we could have Peter wanting to get it annulled because he wants to marry Charlie or whatever, and Jared coming up with different ways to delay it.


And as always, thank you to [livejournal.com profile] vic_amy_z for wrestling my commas. She really loves me almost as much as chocolate...


"I want an annulment."

Peter's eating toast and drinking juice at the same time. Walking 'round the counter, he stacks up the papers for the deposition they've got this afternoon.

Jared doesn't choke on his own toast, but it's a close call.

"What?"

"An annulment, Jared. A dissolution of our partnership. We no longer need to be Mr and Mr Franklin-Bash."

*dances* This was awesome. And more than a little heartbreaking at points. They're both so tragic sometimes, I don't know who to feel more sorry for. Silly, beautiful boys.

Oh, this is so beautiful I want to smish it up and put it in my pocket so I can carry it around with me all day!

I love it when they get angry with each other but that their style of argument hasn't really moved on since they were fourteen, so they ignore each other and slam doors and call each other names! I also love it when one of them manages to do something drastically adult for a change - the insinuation that Jared went out and slept with a guy who wasn't Peter did *things* to me... (Bad things, where I want a fic about Jared being broken and whoring himself all over LA in seedy motels, club bathrooms and dark alleyways, trying to forget Peter in unhealthy amounts of casual sex with unsuitable partners. Okay, I have to stop those thoughts now...)

Although I have so much love for all the witty, snarky banter you have going on between them, is it wrong that my favourite line is, "Lay down or fuck off!"? I can't help it, I'm secretly twelve!

I love this, and I *do* love you almost as much as chocolate. Almost... ;o)

NO. You don't need to stop those thoughts ever. You need to let those thoughts out. into long long many pages of sad broken jared falling apart. Yes. Yes that.

Oh god, it would be so beautiful, right? Jared just going out every night and trying to lose himself in other men who are only using him for sex, coming home dirty and bruised, in the vain hope that Peter will notice he's falling apart, until one night he ends up with someone who gets off on hurting him and Jared can't even bring himself to stop it, but somehow Peter finds him and saves him, and oh god why do I suck so hard at writing angst...?!

You don't suck at writing angst, you wrote beautiful boarding school angst that was truly delicious. And if you feel like you suck at writing angst even though you clearly don't suck at it, then this is a great perfect time for you to practise and improve, everyone wins. You can write teh whole thing in tiny text if that helps.

I love this so much. I love Peter and his STUPIDNESS. Utter stupidness, and I love that Jared knows he's stupid and loves him anyway. I love everything about Jared saying he's okay when he's CLEARLY not okay. And Carmen was perfect in this. And it's the BEST way for them to get together because they SERIOUSLY couldn't divorce, like they wouldn't even know how, Peter can't even use the word. And laksdhfoijwoeijsodihfoijesf, Peter being IMMEDIATELY HORRIBLY SAD AND BROKEN because Jared said okay is my new favourite thing in the world and it is all I want to happen ever again.

Even Janie wasn't three weeks

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh god, that's fabulous. I love Jared and his Janie pain that Peter didn't even learn from because he's the worst.

Jared looking like he's thinking about sticking a pepper grinder places was weirdly beautiful.

And the ending was perfect. It was all perfect. They're BRILLIANT at being idiots, you're brilliant at being in charge of them.

::loves you forever::
