A/N: ^^^^^
I drew a new cover for the story. Hope you like it.

"Try again!" Peter demanded, his patience with me clearly running low by now but so was mine with him. After all it had been partly also his fault that we where now stuck in the future.
"What do you think I'm doing?!" I angrily yelled back but then realizing that my own frustration had gotten the better of me.
"Look. I'm cold, hungry and god damn tired, so please just shut up."

After already having tried to get us back, for what felt like hours I really was starting to be pissed at myself. Even despite all the tips and advice Peter had given me I still found myself unable to control my power. With a annoyed grumble the blond leaned back against the facade of the motel burned out and rubbed his forehead.
"I thought it was impossible but you're even more incompetent at using your power, then Preston." He mumbled, causing my anger over his attitude to boil up again. "Seriously?! So YOU can criticize him but when I do it you punch me?!"

"Yeah." He bluntly stated and shrugged.
What the fuck?! What's up with his fucking logic?! I thought and starred up at him, trying to read his expression.
His eyes were half closed, making it like he was about to fall asleep, while the rest of his face was shrouded in the same emotionless, unreadable aura he usually had.

I sighed in defeat, having to admitted to myself that no matter how hard I tried I would probably never be able to figure the guy out.
"You are quite protective of him, don't you?" I questioned and leaned against the wall, next to him. Slowly he nodded and then said, while looking at me from the corner of his eyes, "Yeah, he is my boyfriend after all."
His cold, gray eyes fixated on mine, seemingly waiting for some sort of response. But with how uncomfortable his stare still made me feel I only managed to get out an 'Oh' before I had to looked away.

A few awkward minutes of silence passed before my brain was finally able to comprehend what he had actually said. My head snapped back to him and with wide eyes I yelled, "WAIT! Did you just say BOYFRIEND?!"

"Yeah, Preston is my boyfriend." The taller man reaffirmed with a soft smile. His usual monotone voice now filled with so much warmth and pride that I almost completely lost track of what I had wanted to say. It was just too surprising that he could even sound like that. On one hand it was a pleasantly surprised that someone like him was actually able to feel so much for someone else. But on the other hand I was also slightly bummed out about it, because it meant that I was now not just the 'new guy' but also the third wheel.

Nervously I bit my lip and pondered how their relationship would impact our group dynamic when the memory of our heated kiss flashed before my eyes.
Wait if they are a couple then why the hell did he kiss me?! Was that nothing more then some sick joke to him?
The thought of my first kiss having been nothing more then a mockery made my skin crawl.
No it can't have been that... it just can't! I just couldn't believe that Peter would have been that cruel towards me. Sure we had fought and he probably had been pissed at me at that moment but with how passionately he had kissed me, it must have meant at least something.

Wait a second! What the hell am I thinking?! I barely know the guy! Also he has a god damn boyfriend! If he really meant to kiss me that makes him a cheating bastard!
I reminded myself and was about to confront him, when he suddenly diverted my attention to our surroundings. "Does it always look like this?" He questioned and gestured towards the desolate wasteland that surrounded us.
"Ahm yeah! Why do you think I didn't want to go?!" I snappishly replied and was about to go on a tirade about how stupid his idea had been and to tell him 'I told you so' when he interrupted my thought process once again.
"But why?" He asked, his face showing a slight hint of curiosity. 

"How the hell should I know?"

"You never investigated it?"

"Uhm last time I tried but..." A cold shiver run down my spine when I remembered the monsters birds that had almost eaten me.
"Look, only a few days ago I still believed that it all was just in my head, so I never was really interested in exploring it. Besides I'm a firm believer in 'curiosity kills the cat'." I explained, hoping that he would finally get it into his thick skull that for me this wasn't as normal as it was to him. And that unlike him I wasn't all too interested in figuring anything out about this nightmarish future.

Slowly he nodded but then suddenly pushed himself off the wall and walked away.
I quickly got to my feet and screamed, "Where the fuck are you going?"
The blond only stopped for a moment, looked over his shoulder and yelled back that he wasn't a cat, before he continued wall way, leaving me standing there all by myself. Worried I looked around. I had no idea what could be out there but specially considering my last few trips to the future I had little hope that it was something nice and cuddly.

Fuck! Why is he never listening?! I could just let him do his thing and wait here but... he could get hurt or worse... and if my powers suddenly decide to work again he would be stuck here for ever. I shook my head and gathered up all my courage to follow him. Every fiber in my body was screaming at me that this was probably the stupidest decision I had ever made but considering the other option I didn't really feel like I had much of a choice.
