Summary
"Do you think we could live the rest of our lives on this road?"
-Stephen King, The Long WalkIt makes the sensations in his feet and knees and ankles pale in comparison, the way Ray finds himself liking Pete. He likes the way Pete’s mind bounces from thought to thought, the quick grin that lights up his face when he’s enjoying a joke. Ray likes that Pete is always trying to keep everyone’s energy levels up, even if it means winding them up until they pick up the pace just to get away from him. But most of all Ray likes the way Pete looks at him, as though he is somehow witty and fascinating, and not painfully average in every way. What had Parker called him? A bumpkin? The fuck did I ever do to you, Collie?

Summary
“I’m not a big one for talking about my past, okay? Not saying stuff won’t come up, or that I don’t want you to know things about me.” Pete hesitates for a moment, then adds, “my future’s yours, if you want it. My past, well, that’s mine. I ain’t going to apologise for it.”
Pete and Ray talk about some stuff.

Summary
“Swear it,” Pete hisses.
“Okay, fine, fine.” Ray says, and he’s definitely angry now. Good, now they can both be angry. “I swear. No, how did you put it? Dumbass heroic stunts. I’ll make every effort to live. But you make the same promise, or you can’t hold me to it.” There are tears in his eyes, and Pete briefly feels like a heel.
“Ray—”
“You don’t want to lose me, fine. I’m not losing you either. We both walk away from this, or neither of us do. Promise me.”

Summary
“Well,” Jon drawls. “ This is a pleasant way to spend New Year's Eve.”
Martin can’t disagree. He’s got a gorgeous man in his lap, a bellyful of whisky, and their pain levels have been manageable for the past few weeks, despite the cold. All in all, he’s spent far worse holiday seasons.

Summary
Ray pulled away from Pete like he wasn’t even there and fell into his mother like he’d tried to do before and this time Pete did not need to stop him. No guns swivelled and no voice cried WARNING, FORTY SEVEN. WARNING, TWENTY THREE.
Mrs Garraty at last put her arms around her son, and held onto him for a long long time.

Pete and Ray, after.

Summary
Pete twists his mouth to the side, rubs his nose, conscious of being observed. “No, I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about a lot of things. Just staying occupied.”
“The old escape hatch.”
“Yeah. Yeah, that’s right.”
“Okay.” Ray studies him a moment longer. “Well? Where’re we escaping to?”

Summary
Ray can't hear anything anymore other than Pete. The intermittent jolt of warnings, the sobs, feet and wheels against pavement, all of it is crowded out by Pete's voice and hands.
“Being all pent up does strange things to a man’s head," Pete says.

Summary
“Anyone ever tell you you’re a funny guy, Pete?”
“Oh, all my life. A real comedian.”
This was a lie. People had called you a lot of things. Only Ray ever said you were funny.
“Funniest guy I know,” Ray chuckled. You could hear his grin. It was nice.
It was nice to have Ray Garraty with you, even like this. Even if it meant you were just crazy.
