alltheangelsThis is not explicitly about petekey; it's more about Mikey Way and Pete Wentz’s friendship because I think it's cute, and I want to yap about it, but this could also be interpreted as more than a friendship. Mikey and Pete have a thing called the Sweet Little Dudes Club. It's been referenced many times by both Pete and Mikey, and there's even a picture of Pete wearing a shirt that says' Sweet Little Dudes Club'. Now, this isn't explicitly a petekey reference, but it could be interpreted like that because Pete has referenced the whole of My Chem, but he only ever speaks about Mikey by name in his journal/blogs. He has never mentioned Frank or Ray or Gerard; it's only ever been Mikey.
Mikey has previously used the term ‘Sweet little dude’ to refer to other people, and Gerard used this in an interview to mock him, but mentions of Mikey in Pete’s LiveJournal Q&A bring up this term.
“Q: We want to have sex with Gerard Way. And I mean full blown pumping his gas while he is handcuffed to the bed sex. Care to hook a couple of sistas up?
A: me and mikey way have a gang called The Sweet Little Dudes. you might see us on warped tour.”
This particular instance is quite interesting. Pete seems unfazed by the reference to having sex with Gerard. This seems like something he should’ve commented on, but instead, his mind went straight to Gerard’s brother, Mikey. He only talks about Mikey, even when he isn’t explicitly mentioned.

Q:hey! i was just wondering, how good are you friends with mikey way??
A:me and mikey are not in just one gang together, we are in two: the sweet little dudes and the fraternal order of the handsome boy. i call him the duke of handsomeness.”
Calling your friend ‘duke of handsomeness’... that definitely seems like a normal platonic thing to do…
My Chem and FOB only met in 2003, so this is only 2 years after this. Obviously, this could very well be just a normal friendship joke thing, but that would mean that they are quite close friends. While this could possibly happen in 2 years, both bands were touring and obviously, couldn’t hang out every day and most likely the majority of those 2 years were spent apart. For them to just become this close friends in the 2 or so months of Warped Tour seems unlikely.

(Obviously, these are only my own interpretations of Pete's ramblings. Only Mikey and Pete themselves will know what truly happened in 2005. I don't claim any of this to be the truth.)
