Summary
Pete's got an ass that is pretty much the most distracting thing, and those jeans he wears Do Not Help.
Patrick's going to fuel Pete's ego if he ever tells him such, but he'll be sure to spend lots of time on it once he gets it.
He doesn't really have to tell Pete, doe he? Pete's the words, anyways. And there's enough music about fine asses out in the world.
(circa Warped Tour '05; the summer of like)

anything else in the world but you (in another life) by earlgreytea68

Summary
“In another life where I didn’t have a Pete, if I wrote a song – ‘cuz I – 'Saturday,' I wrote most of that – I did write most of that by myself, right? So there’s a world where that song exists without the band. There’s no world where I sing it in front of people without Pete.”

Summary
Pete’s teeth are sharp and white. They’re the centerpiece of his face when he smiles, the vase of flowers in the middle of the table. His eyes crease in a way that speaks of crow’s feet in twenty years time, a handsome face with proof of a life well lived.
Patrick’s staring. Right now, that feels okay.

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.
