    Being a singing telegram sucks, especially on Valentine’s Day.

    Summary

    It’s just like, a normal day in December when Patrick asks the worst question he could possibly ask.

    That’s overdramatic, probably - but Pete’s having a nice day. He’s trying to bake some Christmas cookies for his kids, he’s planning his gifts that he hasn’t already bought, he’s finally starting to feel the holiday spirit, and he’s on Facetime with Patrick while they’re both doing other things. It’s a nice, Christmas adjacent kind of day.

    “Pete - whatever happened to that song you wrote?”

    In 2003, Pete very stupidly tried to write Patrick a song for Christmas, and lied to him about it. 20 years later, the truth comes out.

    Summary

    Pete resists the common urge to flick his eyes down to Patrick’s mouth, to watch the way his lips touch the edge of the bottle as he takes a hearty swig. He just stares into his eyes, the color of Lake Michigan on a sunny day, and thinks thoughts that he has tried and failed to quash for more than 20 years now. Pete is fine. He lives like this.

    A game of truth or dare is harmless. After all, they all know everything there is to know about each other. Except if somehow, the only person that failed to notice Pete has been in love with Patrick this whole time, is of course, Patrick.

    Summary

    Pete knows this kid is a huge fan, alright? He knows that bringing him out back to the van after the show may be misconstrued as taking advantage of this fact. The thing is, he just doesn’t care. This guy is fucking hot.

    Summary

    “But he never-” Pete stops, trailing off into the empty possibility, the thousand different ways that sentence could end. Patrick never said anything, he never seemed to mind, Pete could never really tell if he noticed or not and would have pulled his still-beating heart out of his own chest and offered it up on a platter if he ever thought it would make any difference, but it never seemed like it would, so he let the words sneak into songs and hang in the open air for 20-something years, and thought they’d dissipated by now.

    “Yeah,” Joe says softly. “I really - thought maybe you guys talked about it or something, but then I realized you didn’t, and I just kind of - I don’t think it’s gonna be the end of the world, you know?"

    What if Pete spent the last 20-something years really truly head over heels in love with Patrick, and Patrick was so genuinely oblivious he had no idea? Then - what if he found out? An exploration of not actually unrequited love that just spends a really long time seeming unrequited, because Patrick needs some time to wrap his head around it, basically.
