While there’s no definitive confirmation, let’s delve into the timeline of their relationship and examine the evidence that has fueled the rumors, with insights from PETS.EDU.VN. We’ll uncover the truth behind the speculation, exploring their interactions, song lyrics, and the lasting impact on their fans and the music scene.
1. The Beginning: Friendship Forged on Tour
1.1 The Initial Meeting: Fireside Bowl, 2003
Pete Wentz and Mikey Way first crossed paths in 2003 at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago, where My Chemical Romance was performing. This initial encounter was brief, but it laid the groundwork for a deeper connection.

The following year, in 2004, both Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance found themselves touring together on Warped Tour. This shared experience allowed the two bands to bond, and Pete and Mikey developed a friendship. Pete even began incorporating My Chemical Romance lyrics into his interview responses, signaling a close bond between the two.
2. Hints and Speculation: 2005 – The Summer of “Like”
2.1 Mikey Wearing Pete’s Jacket: A Sign of Closeness?
In April 2005, Mikey was seen wearing Pete’s distinctive white denim jacket at a Fueled By Ramen concert, watching Fall Out Boy perform. This act fueled speculation among fans, suggesting a closer relationship than just friendship.
2.2 Sweet Little Dudes: An Exclusive “Gang”
Around this time, Pete and Mikey formed a “gang” called Sweet Little Dudes, consisting only of the two of them. Pete even created a shirt with the name, further emphasizing their close bond. He frequently referenced the gang, making it his default answer in many situations.
2.3 Bamboozled Festival: Sidestage Support
During the Bamboozled festival in 2005, Mikey was often seen either sidestage or close by, watching Fall Out Boy’s performance. This consistent support further hinted at a deeper connection between the two.
2.4 Pete’s LiveJournal Update: Cryptic Clues
After Bamboozled, Pete updated his LiveJournal with a list of things that got him “hot and bothered,” including:
- Having a crush on a person I speak to near daily
- White denim jackets
These entries were widely interpreted as being about Mikey, given the context of their interactions.
2.5 Warped Tour 2005: The Summer of “Like”
Warped Tour 2005 became known as “The Summer Of Like” among fans, due to the numerous hints and interactions between Pete and Mikey. There were fan reports of Mikey watching Pete offstage, and Pete began posting more frequently on his blog.
2.6 Pete’s Blog Posts: Open Declarations of Affection
In a blog post dated June 28, 2005, Pete wrote:
Amazing new mexico sunset. I’m hanging on a bridge with my friend mikey way from my chem. Its all orange and pink above us. We went to another waterpark again. I love high fives again. Totally back in love. Saw the most amazing movie… I think its called spirited away. Watch it.
Peterpan
Totally back in love
This post, along with another on July 4th ending with “Hot and miserable but totally in love,” seemed to openly declare Pete’s feelings.
2.7 Cryptic Posts and “Bang The Doldrums” Lyrics
After these explicit posts, Pete’s entries became more cryptic. On July 17th, he posted on the Fueled by Ramen blog:
wrote you a goodbye note (you just wrote me off) on your arm when you passed out. bestfriends, exfriends- better off as lovers not the other way around. racing through the city in the back of yellow checkered cars. the takeoffs are the worst but the skin from your shoulder to your ear makes it all worth it. and im sorry the way my moods flicker on and off like old light on your porch, but i know you wouldn’t have it any other way. sneaking in your window instead of out. the way you hold a cigarette cause you don’t know what to do with your hands when we are sitting this close. the way the waists of pants feel better at the ankles. the way you always were my best excuse for calling in sick on everyone else. i miss you.
petey
These lyrics would later appear in Fall Out Boy’s song “Bang The Doldrums,” with some modifications.
3. Further Evidence: Actions Speak Louder Than Words
3.1 Avoiding Photos Together: A Deliberate Choice?
During this period, there were very few photos of Pete and Mikey together. Fan reports suggested they were actively avoiding being photographed together.
3.2 Mikey’s Connection to Clandestine Industries: Supporting Pete’s Brand
Mikey was often seen around the Clandestine Tent (Pete’s clothing line) and was spotted wearing a sweatshirt from Pete’s brand, further indicating his support.
3.3 Band Member Exchanges: Mikey on Bass for Fall Out Boy
There were instances where Mikey would take over on bass for Pete during Fall Out Boy performances, allowing Pete to interact with the crowd. Conversely, Pete would sometimes sit on stage and watch Mikey play.
3.4 Song Dedications and “Mikey Revenge”
Pete frequently dedicated songs to Mikey during Fall Out Boy’s performances, even calling him onstage to do so. He once dedicated a song to “Mikey Revenge,” and shortly after, Mikey changed his Myspace name to “Mikey Revenge.” Pete then created a shirt for Clandestine that said “I :hearts: Revenge” and wore it frequently.
3.5 Suggestive Posts on Friendsorenemies
Pete posted vaguely suggestive pictures and captions on his Friendsorenemies account, including one that read “I wish you were my bass, not just my friend.”
3.6 The Sunburst Bass Incident
In a blog post dated August 19, 2005, Pete wrote:
Warped tour was fun. Since being home I remembered that showering and sleeping are fun too. My real feelings on the sunburst bass. I loved that thing. But then it started cheating on me with mikey way. I had to hit it. Its not my fault- spousal abuse is an ugly thing. I’m in therapy that includes playing lots of warcraft online. Writing messages on your arm for someone to see at a show is the new away message – stealing peoples real diary is the new livejournal.
This post alluded to a metaphorical “cheating” between Pete’s bass and Mikey.
4. Post-Warped Tour: Shifting Dynamics
4.1 The Fraternal Order Of The Handsome Boy
After Warped Tour, the second “gang,” The Fraternal Order Of The Handsome Boy, was first mentioned.
4.2 Mikey’s Engagement and Rumors of Pete Dating His Fiancée
Around Christmas, Mikey got engaged. There were rumors that Pete had dated Mikey’s fiancée at one point, but this was never addressed and the question was always dodged.
4.3 February 19, 2006: Hotel Lobby and Unrequited Feelings
On February 19, 2006, Pete and Mikey were at a party together. Pete posted a picture on his Friendsorenemies account and later wrote:
i feel like howl from howls moving castle embodies every single feeling that goes through my head. that is all. i am in the lobby of a hotel in new york city waiting for something that isn’t ever going to happen. i am calculating all of the legs and drunken stutters. i am precise. i am a machine. i am a hot mess.
– petey
The line “Something that isn’t ever going to happen” suggested unrequited feelings.
4.4 March 4-5, 2006: Secret Show and Onstage Performance
On March 4, 2006, Mikey attended the Absolut Kravitz launch party in NYC with Pete and Joe. The next day, Fall Out Boy played a secret show under the name “Saved Latin,” and Mikey joined them onstage to play bass. A photo from that night shows Pete and Mikey looking close, with Mikey’s head leaning against Pete’s.
4.5 HeyChris Situation: Mikey as a Pawn
After this, Pete’s personal photos were released, leading to the “HeyChris” situation, in which Mikey was dragged into. This suggested that Mikey was important enough to Pete to be used as a means of getting back at him.
4.6 AOL Away Messages and Mikey Pin
Pete liked to mention Mikey in his AOL away messages and constantly wore a pin with Mikey’s face on it.
5. Summer of 2006: Heartbreak and Longing
5.1 Heartbreaking Blog Entries
The summer of 2006 was marked by a series of heartbreaking blog entries from Pete. Fall Out Boy was on Warped Tour again, but My Chemical Romance was not.
5.2 “The Fraternal Order Of The Handsome Boy” Post
The most notable entry was dated Saturday, July 08, 2006:
the fraternal order of the handsome boy.
ive been watching you from afar. my breath on the inside window as you walk in from the carcandy caned lies in red and white against clashing patterns bending in and out of understanding. “youre the stranger ive been dreaming of”, stranger than any ive ever known. love through a telescopic lens. when the air is clear i can see how perfect you are for me. late at night when the city sleeps i cast a spell on you to make you think of me the very same way i think of you. i only love how the words feel in my head when i write them. fireworks over the valley. how can i tell you i gut people for a living. that everything you say is likely to end up as evidence when i rewrite history. over and over again. how everything you do reminds me of something else, someone else. how i get paid to be humble and arrogant at the same time,to be chased and never caught. that i just want to stay up late and wake up early to talk to you. that i want to show you all of my jealousy and insecurity and have you not care. youre like a light switch and i just want to turn you on and watch them all shrink away. the words come out of my fingertips on impulse. it is instinct. my head cant keep up. i envy the comatose. i admire the bedridden. i am addicted to the way i feel when i think of you. “im blowing smoke rings around the moon….” i wish i was the exact opposite of how the world knows me.
This entry is widely believed to be about Mikey, especially the line “i cast a spell on you to make you think of me the very same way i think of you,” which also appears in “Bang The Doldrums.”
5.3 August 27, 2006: Acceptance and Moving On
Another entry, dated August 27, 2006, included the lines:
there is one single pair of eyes that could ever decode any of this. put another “x” on the calendar. summer is on its deathebd. there is simply nothing worse than knowing the ending- that no matter what curve balls or uphill come your way- it still turns out the same. this year its stripes and pumps, last year it was dancefloors and you. she keeps talking, i keep staying the same. did you ever change your mind about someone and then just realize it was a fucking haircut. put me in a frame on your wall, just to keep me out of trouble. i gotta say i admire bob dylan for being honest about his new record. noone ever is. its like when the ad campaign rolls out everyone is smiling and at their best even if they are not sure. an affectionate friend told me everything i ever needed to know about anything. “freeze! put down that fucking laptop!”. everything is always either digging a hole or digging yourself out of one. and just when you have it all figured out you should just sift through your pile of “never again”s. quite a collection. blow off the dust. im sure they will be worth something to someone sometime. its buzzing in the back of your head and out of your fingertips. pull back the shade- the road outside of my house is paved with good intentions. but it is hell on the undercarriage of the car so we’re gonna have to hire a construction crew. i wonder if anyone else things of you as much as i do, even you.
“If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together….”
a mutual misunderstanding. kaleidoscope eyes sparkle on pillows in the dark. and i dont care what anyone thinkgs of that except me. put the love on hold, anticipation is on the other line and excitement called while you were out. imagine me and you…..
Some of this entry made it into a Panic! At The Disco song called “The Calendar.”
6. Pete’s Sexuality and Song Lyrics
6.1 “Gay Above the Waist”
Pete has said in an AP interview that he is “gay above the waist.” This statement, along with the line in “Bang The Doldrums” “happily ever after below the waist,” has been interpreted as alluding to his sexuality.
6.2 Song Lyrics as Evidence
Many lines from 2005/2006 have ended up in Fall Out Boy songs, further fueling speculation about the relationship between Pete and Mikey.
7. Mikey’s Perspective: A Cryptic Response
7.1 Mikey’s Response: “Sort Of… Maybe…”
Mikey has always been a more reserved person, making it difficult to gauge his feelings. When asked about the rumors, he gave a less-than-convincing answer:
Me and pete wentz aren’t dating. We are both heterosexual males…sort of…maybe…umm…next!
8. After 2006: A Shift in Public Interactions
8.1 Twitter Interactions and Gifts from Japan
After 2006, there was less public referencing of each other. With the advent of Twitter, they occasionally tweeted each other, and it was clear they communicated outside of social media. They even brought each other gifts back from Japan.

In March 2008, Mikey judged a karaoke night at Angels and Kings, a nightclub opened and co-owned by Pete.
