    Summary

    For the first time ever, David pays rapt attention to the spreadsheet Patrick insists on showing him. There’s a list of things that will be covered under the joint account, like rent and groceries and vehicle upkeep, and then they’ll each keep a separate account for individual expenses. Patrick repeats the fact that clothing and toiletries will be considered individual expenses multiple times, but David is still too starry-eyed about the casual way he said ‘our household expenses’ to even consider arguing.

    Then David notices something odd, off in its own section below their estimated rent and utilities.

    Summary

    Patrick, 8:55 a.m.: Call me asap
    Patrick, 8:57 a.m.: David, answer the phone. It’s important.
    Patrick, 9:31 a.m.: I really fucked up. We need to talk.
    Patrick, 9:33 a.m.: Shit, the session is starting and I’m already running late. I’ll call around noon at the next break, maybe plan on closing the store for lunch around then?

    David’s eyes bored into the screen, attempting to force more information to appear. He’d missed the messages when they first came in, too busy dealing with an unexpected Saturday morning crowd by himself to check his phone.

    The texts were accompanied by four missed calls, but no voicemails.

    Summary

    David is leaving his art history class when he gets a text from Patrick cancelling their lunch date, again. This is the third time this week and David is reaching for his last bit of patience.

    He isn’t annoyed that his boyfriend is cancelling on him, he's annoyed at why his boyfriend is cancelling on him.

    He cancelled because of fucking dodgeball.

    Summary

    ”He remembers Patrick’s crooked smile when David would play along with his jokes, tease him back. He remembers the electricity simmering in the store, and the butterflies in his stomach, and the way they were both trying so hard, tiptoeing around this thing they wanted so badly, but also didn’t want to break. Even though they eventually did break, it still makes him feel warm and soft to think of, and he thinks maybe these memories will just slowly become a part of him, coalesce into a solid, unnegotiable reminder that there are good people out there. People who will treat him with kindness and make him laugh and cry when they break up with him because it hurts them too.”

    Or, David and Patrick break up, learn to be business partners, date other people, learn to be friends, grow up, and get back together.

    Summary

    "Have you seen Patrick or Stevie yet?"

    David's throat closes up at their names. Fuck, he didn't realize it would be this hard. "Not yet."

    "Well, I know they'd be thrilled to hear you're back," she tells him, sliding his coffee across to him. "Stevie's probably still at the motel right now, but Patrick is at—"

    "Thanks so much, Twyla," David cuts her off with his most charming smile and bolts from the café with his tail between his legs.

    He didn't realize how not ready he was to be back in Schitt's Creek.

    --
    David has been in love with Patrick Brewer since he was 16 years old. Maybe this is the year he'll let Patrick love him back.
