( vampire ) pete has died... ( again. ) [ you don't have to do this unless you want to ]
( Send ___ has died for ‘trick’s reaction || @tokenvamp )
Patrick told him. He told him to wait, to let him decipher some sort of plan to take the Dandies down, anything to keep the young vampire from running off and getting himself killed. He knows Pete could handle himself, but even he wasn’t strong enough to take Beckett and his gang down without help. He was too young, too inexperienced when it came to his own kind. He was foolish and Patrick knows he payed the consequence for his actions of acting rashly, but that doesn’t seem to take the pain away whatsoever.
He hasn’t known the vamp long but he came to think of him as not only a member of the group but a friend, someone he wanted to protect to the best of his abilities, and he failed. He failed Pete, he failed the Sixteen Candles – he should have known Pete wasn’t going to listen to him, he never has in the past —
— He could have prevented this.
Wide eyes blink back tears, refusing to shed them in public – he’ll let those fall in private. His head shakes slightly ‘fuckin’ idiot.’ falling from his lips in a low whisper. “He never listens.” Eyes squeeze shut when his voice cracks half-way through his statement, he may have been an idiot, but Patrick was starting to really love that about him.
