Summary:Â Patrick doesnât respond correctly - because Patrick has never once responded correctly to David being horrible. He just takes another sip of tea, and fucking smiles again.
âWhat?â David snaps.
âNothing, I just-â
He stops, mouth still open, sound still somewhere in his throat. Then he laughs again. Itâs quieter this time, more to himself, like heâs surprised himself with it. Itâs infuriating, and itâs adorable, and David doesnât get it.Â
Or, five times Patrick almost said "I love you", and one time David said it first.

These scenes are lovely, even when they aren't purely fluff. David's point of view is warm and fond and so in character, and how much he loves Patrick is suffused in every line.
