They don't do this, not really. They did this once or twice forever ago, and it was amazing and a disaster and worth it and something they decided they should not do ever again because it was risky, way too risky; for the band, for their friendship, for everything . And so, they shouldn't do this now, right?

Right?

Or: Why telling Patrick how to sing a song is a 50/50 game of win or die, and Pete has always (sometimes to his degriment) ignored the odds.

yesyesyes the angst of it all, the inner turmoil, Andy and Joe as unwitting but surprisingly chill groomsmen. Pete's genuine confusion because Patrick's been pacing around all day and avoiding him since Elton made that offhand joke (because Patrick knows about Elton being ordained, he'd mentioned it to him once in the studio).

"You guys are basically married anyway, what's the big deal?" Joe would ask when Patrick tells him, but he doesn't look away from his phone because he doesn't actually care about the answer - that's how not-big of a deal it is to him.

Andy would just laugh. And laugh, and laugh. He'd laugh himself out of the room.

I was thinking about this tonight and like. It's the best. Patrick trying to ignore Pete touching his back and Joe laughing.

PETE FOR SURE PINCHING PATRICK'S ASS when he says "oh c'mon."

Patrick's super delayed grossed out response.

"he was kind of into it for a second..." Joe and Pete's synchronized laughing and leaning forward.
