Saw your request for NPMD prompts, so here's a concept that's been nagging at me. Post-Max, Pete (to Steph who has complicated feeling about her late father) "You say that shooting me makes you no better than your father, but..."

Fucking Pizza

Peter Spankoffski x Stephanie Lauter

A/N: Thank you so much for sending me this request! It’s short and the title is a bit weird but trust me just read it and it makes sense lol. But anyway I had so much fun writing this and I hope you enjoy it and that I did it justice! 😊

Warnings: language, bit of angst but mostly fluff, AU where Pete and Steph get tf out of Hatchetfield

“Steph,” Peter started, his voice unsure and high-pitched. He didn’t know how to approach the subject or even what to say but he had to say something. Stephanie was more distant lately than usual and he couldn’t really blame her. They’d lost two friends, his brother, and her father as well. They were doing the best they could with their fucked up lives seemingly falling apart at the seams. The only good thing that had come out of all of it was the comfort they had found in each other. He was hoping to put it all behind them and move on together.

“I don’t want to hear it, Pete! Can’t we just forget about it!” Stephanie huffed. “Just eat your fucking pizza, goddamn it!” she slurred through a mouthful of her own fucking pizza, pepperoni to be exact. Pete had to eat that horrid abomination — pineapple pizza and she refused to try it. It was sacrilegious to the pizza gods to even think about adding fruit to their holy concoction.

He sighed and chewed his fucking pizza. It was tasteless and bland, a cheap one from the convenience store down the road, but it fulfilled the job of filling their stomachs and providing a cheap date night which was something they rarely got to do. Between all the shit they’d been through with undead Max, the Lords in Black, and all the other weird things going on in Hatchetfield they got as far away as they could as soon as they graduated high school.

Pete was enrolled in a good university studying to be… something. He still had no idea who he was or what he wanted out of life, but he was slowly figuring it out. And Stephanie? She never was one for school but she’d found something she could do and that was art. She focused all her feelings, attention, and time on creating. It’d been her outlet to process all they’d been through and she’d managed to sell a few pieces so far. Between the occasional artwork sold and Pete’s part-time job at the university library, they made it work. Things were hard, but at least they had each other.

“You can talk to me about it, Steph. Please, I’m here for you.” He moved closer to her on the tiny second hand couch and grasped her hand, catching a whiff of stale cat piss and cigarettes. They’d found the couch on the side of the road and even though it had been cleaned to the best of their ability it still slightly smelled no matter how much they scrubbed it. It was tacky, red and green plaid with yellow swirls, but much like everything else they owned it was functional, at least for the time being. Finding a new couch was at the top of his to do list and he’d sneakily been checking thrift stores trying to find one for some time now to surprise Stephanie with. So far he’d had no luck.

“You’ll never understand,” she sighed. “For god's sake, I pulled the trigger! If not for that undead bastard you would be dead! I shot you and that’s exactly what those sneaky Lords in Black wanted! They played us and… and I’m just like my father!” she cried, her facade finally breaking, tears flowing down her cheeks.

“You say that shooting me makes you no better than your father, but… it actually makes you better,” he said finally.

“What on earth could that possibly mean, Pete? How does shooting you make me better than him? It surely seems like something he would do.”

He knew his next words were of the utmost importance but how could he say what he truly meant when the thoughts wouldn’t form coherent sentences? They tumbled in his now empty brain, bouncing around like a game of pin-ball. At last the ball fell through the gap but with it came the clarity to communicate what he needed.

“Your father… He did everything for power, to further himself, right? What did you have to gain from shooting me? Did you do it for power? No, you and the rest of the world would get to go on and yet you would have gone every day full of regret. Why live with that same regret when I’m alive and sitting here beside you?”

“That’s not — ”

“No,” he interrupted. “I’m being fucking serious. Why put yourself through that when I lived? Steph, I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere. I promise.”

“Pete, please stop.”

“No, I…I love you,” Pete confessed. It was the first time he’d actually said those words out loud to her. Before now, he’d been too scared, too worried that she wouldn’t say it back but at this very moment he didn’t care about that anymore and he meant every syllable of those three words with every fiber of his being. “You need to know that, okay? I fucking love you and I hate to see you put yourself through all this torture when we both lived! We got out of there all that is in the past now!”

Stephanie sighed and collapsed into his arms. “You ass,” she sniffled. “I love you too, you know.”

“I know,” he replied, kissing the top of her head. “Now let’s finish our fucking pizza or it’s gonna get cold.”

Going back and rewatching what I missed from the npmd livestream from the end of the Jane Perkins Theory to a bit before the beginning of the Abstinence Camp rewatch

I love how Matt keeps having to finish what Nick is saying bc he keeps lagging and freezing

"who's good at math?" *Joey immediately starts talking*

Jon being in show choir makes sense

Ofc Jon started a barbershop quartet

All these high school choir and theatre stories are incredible

"and I swore that I would never be involved in theater again" "and how's that going?" djdjdb

"I left to do Sussical the Musical, we made our decisions"

Hey, I like statistics! Well so far at least

Curt swam competitively and was ranked 18th nationally?

HE SWAM AGAINST MICHAEL PHELPS?

Mariah 🤝 Curt

Troy Bolton

"Bill vs Ted" "this is easy!"

Also yeah Ted would absolutely die first he's a whimp

Yes Peter and the Obnoxious Teen are still separate characters!

Wait the Obnoxious Teen characters was also going to be Richie but now they're also separate characters!???!

Doggy Power!

The 8bit tunes!! (once again asking SK to please release these as an album)

Yeah Paul absolutely would apologise the whole time

Bs I think Emma totally would win against Grace

No way Duke would even hurt a kid

Becky 10000% wins over Linda

"Paul have you been paying attention? We're having thr most important conversation of the decade!"

NOOO also I love Curt is like "no he's lacking context but f i n e"

Oohh wow Barry vs Henry is a good one

Peter Spankoffski my beloved

The idea o's Spitfire just incinerating Linda is wonderful

I REALLY LOVE Becky Barnes Climbed A Tree it's such a good feeling fun song and it makes me wanna go outside and climb a tree and I would absolutely listen to it every day and I love that they put in the little bit of Becky being Irish since that where the joke started from

Spefically 43 mins and 37 secs

Xander was supposed to have psychic abilities!?

"I might be bias though" "I'm definitely bias"

"okay Xander wins" "NO- I- NO!"

"okay so Grace has the power of God"

Absolutely love James' ideas of faking Spitfire's and Xander's deaths

"she's 18" "oh well then I retract everything I just said she's dead"

Xander sweep!

Daddy Bracket

Wilbur vs MacNamara off the bat? Omg

Woo filmed version of the Jangle Ball tour!!

He's a sorcerer?

NO NOT LEX VS HANNAH

"let's not do this :("

Lex has worked all her life to protect Hannah and make sure she doesn't get hurt so Lex would 1000% just lie down and die instead of killing Hannah

"it's like a Romeo and Juliet situation" mmm not quite Angela

EMDRIOD VS CAR!JANE AHAHAJSBDKD

"Can the Android hold a gun?" "yeah the android can hold a gun" "okay then this split, idk" ndjddbdjdb

"does android Emma.. Like, what's the gun situation?" NDKDBDDN

Angela and Mariah are really mean to be BFFs

Android Jane!

"this one breaks your heart?"

Also would Lumberaxe even kill Holloway bc he only kills ppl who aren't abstinent and Holloway isn't dumb enough to go do the dirty in the middle of the woods so would Lumberaxe be able to tell if she's been abstinent or not?

"I wanna see Webby and Miss Holloway fight, that'll be interesting" "I wanna see them fall in love!" in with you Mariah

The immediate "Holloway wins"

So many of these are good vs evil

"remember the child murder?"

They had Nemo stand in for wiggly durning a rehearsal of Feast or Famine bdjdjd

Full blown fluff machine!

My god I love Valentine

Jane's cat knocking over the camera bfjdbss

"that's a weird looking porcelain cat" "where'd you get that porcelain cat Matt?"

Anyway this is where I got caught up with last night so that's the end of this post

#npmd livestream
