[Pete/Patrick, reunited friends to lovers AU + dramatic love confessions; fluff]

Look, there was no need to attack me like this, on Christmas no less, but if you really want to know, Pete and Patrick are going to be just fine.

The most important thing is that they found each other again, and sure, the confession was a little dramatic with the sunset and the crying, but Patrick told Pete that he's being silly because of course it's him, it's always been him for Patrick, why would he ever think different? 

(This was after Patrick dried his own tears, of course, because Patrick is full of shit. He would have kept pining after Pete for ages if Pete hadn't pulled the Romance Movie(TM) move, and Patrick secretly loves the move, though he denies it for the longest time. He'll later tell their children and grandchildren about it until they all squawk 'We know, papa, you told us a million times. Ugh, you're both so gross' to make him shut up.)

Being in love with your best friend and roommate, and then finding out they love you back, is kind of incredible. And weird.

Incredibly weird.

First few weeks, they oscillate wildly between forgetting they're in a relationship and walking around in a tension-filled awkwardness all just-moved-in couples go through. Once, Patrick walked in on Pete showering, because the exhibitionist didn't close the bathroom door (it was a subtle invitation that Patrick, being Patrick, completely missed), yelped like a scalded cat and ran out again. When he poked his head back in a few seconds later, sheepish, and said 'um, sorry, I forgot again', Pete started laughing so hard, he almost puked.

Pete wasn't any better at it, either. Patrick still teases him about the time he, half-asleep, tried to sneak out of their bed (that they were in! together! half-naked!) and take care of his morning wood so as not to disturb Patrick.

All this to say, they are currently very happy, and will continue to be so, and shall live together in health and all the worldly blessings for many, many, many years to come.

And hopefully, so shall we all.

I love being at their place : it’s in the countryside, it’s peaceful, there are animals everywhere, plants growing more or less as they please, there’s a mess of very different objects here and there, you can pick fruits on trees and eat them as you wish (as long as it hasn’t already been eaten by wasps or chickens), and we usually do handiwork or cooking (this morning was repainting the entrance gate and I hope I’ll get to make some ice cream at some point). I’ll try to take pictures :D
