#patrick feely

• He’s very flirty. Always. Constantly. Before he started going out with you, he was always trying to chat up every girl in school. After that, he flirts with you like his life depends on it, even though you’re already going out with him.

• He has a thing for kissing just behind your ear. All the time. When you’re alone, in front of his friends, in class when nobody is looking.

• He has issues with Hughie meeting girls he likes (cough cough, Katie), so he doesn’t introduce the two of you until you confront him on it. When you do meet Hughie, Patrick makes a big show of keeping you close, arm around your shoulder, letting Hughie know he wasn’t getting anywhere near you.

• He has field parties in mid-July. Where everyone comes down and gets stupid drunk. At the last one, Gibsie wandered off and ended up covered in cow dung. They’re notorious for people hooking up randomly in the hay bales in the shed.

• He finds it very hard to open up to anyone. When you first started going out he was so surprised when you asked him just basic questions. He couldn’t believe that someone wanted to know how his day was, or what his favourite pastime was. Basic questions that should have been normal felt intimate and off to him.

• Bro is an alcoholic, and let’s not romanticise it. Literally nobody knows about this, not even you. He hides it so well, and only drinks when nobody else is around. It’s not like his father bothers checking on him much.

• He can never believe that he actually has you. He is the #1 yearner and is still trying to woo you well into your relationship, he just can’t believe he acc bagged the huzz.

• On that topic, he really is a yearner. He has severe, painstaking crushes for months and years. He thinks about his crush all the time. It’s like a sickness. He falls in love with every one of them.

• Again on this topic, he writes crappy, often cringey songs for whichever girl he currently loves. But he never shows them to anyone. He burns the last when he writes the next. Each one is individual and unique, and beautiful in their own way. When he starts dating you, he writes dozens in secret. These ones, he keeps in a box under his bed.

• He does believe that his music taste is superior to everyone else’s but he shows it subtly. A small huff when you stick on Britney. A raise of his eyebrows when you turn his music down. He’ll silently swap out your cd’s in your car for his own.

• He HATES watching movies for some strange reason, but he’ll watch them for you. He’ll never tell you how much he hates sitting and watching Patrick Swayze dance across the screen, all he cares about is how it makes you happy (and that you snuggle up to him of course).

• He tries to act cool but he’s a lover boy at heart. In school, he has a player-boy reputation at school, but as soon as he finally starts going out with you? He doesn’t so much as look at another girl. He’s uninterested. Completely.
