Quote:
"You don't really want this."

He looks up from his book, an expression of mild confusion touching his tanned face. She's sitting on the bed beside him, her legs over the side of it, and her arms are at her sides, hands resting on the edge of the bed.

"Don't want what?" he asks lightly.

There's a slight pause before she responds.

"This."

He tilts his head and studies her back, the elegant planes of her bare shoulders. "This meaning..." he asks slowly, but a part of him already knows what's coming, a part of him already knows where this conversation is going because he's heard it all before.

"This. You. Me. Together. You don't really want it."

He sighs and closes the book, setting it aside. "Angie..." he starts to say, and his fingers touch her waist, but she's already pushed herself up, reaching for her clothes.

"No," she says, and pulls on her shirt, her blonde hair ruffled by the movement. "Look, I said I would go out with you, but you don't seem to want to go out with me. Not after last night."

He sits up slowly. This has to be handled carefully, words chosen with great care and caution. "You said we didn't have to be mutually exclusive," he says. "You said you were okay with dating other people while we were together because we weren't ever really together."

"Other people," she says, and snorts. "Like girls. Not - "

Something in his face hardens, an almost irritated expression passing over it. But then it disappears, just as quickly. "What?" he asks, keeping his tone deliberately light, deliberately casual. "Angie, if this is about Patrick, it's nothing serious."

She whirls on him. "You sleep with another man and it's 'nothing serious? Really?'"

He's used to the anger, the disbelief. He shakes it off like a duck shakes water off its back. "It's nothing to be ashamed of," he says calmly. "So what if I'm attracted to him? I'm attracted to you, aren't I? I like you, and I chose you, so why isn't that enough?"

"It's not that - "


Quote:
He likes people.

This is not a new fact; he's always been relatively sociable, always been the type of guy that people seem to be drawn to because he never judges and never seems to get riled up over anything. He's entirely laid back, which makes him the best type of guy to hang out with.

But not to date, which is what Angie - and many before her - have told him.

"I don't understand it," Patrick tells him one day.

He glances up. "Hmm? Don't understand what?"

"This whole..." Patrick waves a hand. "Thing you have going on. It's like you're never serious enough about anything. Don't get me wrong, you're still awesome, and I still love the hell out of you, but are you ever going to be serious about anything? Or anyone, for that matter?"

He smiles and sits up, curling an arm around his shoulder. "Are you implying something?"

Patrick rolls his eyes. "Not with me, you idiot. I'd never date you; you're too much of an idiot. I know how much of a douchebag you really are, a*****e."

He laughs, leaning over and kissing him lightly. Patrick tastes of smoke and beer. "Yet you love me."

"Unfortunately," says Patrick, and shoves his shoulder affectionately against his. "I've known you too long and too well not to love you, even if you are one stupid son of a b***h sometimes. But answer me - are you ever going to be serious about anyone?"

He shrugs one bare shoulder. "Do I have to be?"

"No," Patrick says. "But I dunno, are you going to be happy living the rest of your life like this?"

It's a strange thought; he doesn't want to think about it. He sits a little further up and slides over, curling one hand around the back of Patrick's neck, drawing him closer.

"I quite like this," he says.

Patrick's growls of exasperation are lost in another kiss.
