"So Patton, if you ever are in the process of trademarking something, would that make it...Patton-pending?"

Patton giggled softly, cuddling with Chase on Patton's bed after having eaten a wonderful dinner made by Patton. "Absolutely. If you're running after someone, are you Chase-ing them?"

Chase snickered softly at the father figure, playing with Patton's hair as he smiled. "That was horrible Patton."

"You know you love it." Patton hummed in content, kissing Chase's cheek.

The other egos and sides were out watching a movie in theaters, Chase choosing to stay home to spend time alone with Patton since this was the last day they were able to spend together before Chase and the egos would have to go back home.

The egos' vacation at Thomas's place was set to be only two weeks long, but changed to being a month long since Seán could tell that the time spent with Patton was helping Chase.

"Patton...would you be mad at me if I tried something?" Chase asked gently, biting his lip as he took his snapback hat off and dropped it off the side of the bed, the hat landing quietly on the floor.

"No not at all...is everything okay Chase?" Patton frowned in concern as he sat up, squeaking in surprise when Chase scooted to sit in his lap and kissed him.

Chase reluctantly broke the kiss after a moment for air, panting softly as his face flushed a deep red. "I really, really like you Patton."

"Gee meneti." Patton murmured breathlessly as he blushed hard as well, resting his forehead against Chase's. "I really like you too Chase, you're very sweet."

"I'm not as sweet as my pretty Patton-cake." Chase cooed softly, caressing Patton's cheek gently as his lips hovered inches from Patton's.

Patton giggled and kissed Chase, squirming a little in his lap to get comfortable before pausing when Chase groaned softly into the kiss and gently held Patton's hips still. "A-are you okay?" Patton asked innocently as he pulled away, worried he had somehow hurt Chase. "You're really red."

"You are too baby." Chase chuckled softly as he propped himself up with pillows. "I'll be honest, I haven't felt like this in so long...I'll understand if you'd rather just cuddle and stuff instead though, you're by no means forced to do anything you don't feel comfortable doing."

Patton frowned a little in confusion and tilted his head slightly. "I dunno what you're talking about Chase...what do you feel like you're forcing me into?"

"I-I um...well I was hoping we could uh, ya know...have a little fun?" Chase bit his lip nervously, somehow blushing darker.

"We've already been having fun this whole month Chase." Patton giggled, kissing the tip of Chase's nose lightly. "Right?"

"Yeah of course! But um...I'm thinking of like a different kind of fun since it's just you and me." Chase rubbed Patton's thighs, trying to not overstep boundaries while also struggling to try explaining what he was wanting.

"Like a pillow fort?!" Patton gasped excitedly and shot off of the bed like a rocket. "I'll find some more blankets." He darted out of the room, Chase laughing softly as he laid back down and looked up at the ceiling. "Sure, that's what I meant. God I love him." Chase smiled to himself, moaning softly as he massaged the tent in his jeans. "I'll have to take care of myself later, but that's fine."

Patton soon returned with an armful of blankets and some pillows, Chase humming softly as he got off of the bed and helped his boyfriend set up a pillow fort on the floor by his bed. "I haven't made one of these since...since I was with my kids." Chase admitted quietly, his eyes welling with tears at the memories.

"Oh no don't cry!" Patton hugged Chase tight, kissing his head as he gently wiped the tears away with his thumb. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you honey..."

"You haven't hurt me Patton, you've helped me so much and I can't thank you enough." Chase murmured as he held onto Patton, closing his eyes.

"You don't need to thank me, you've helped me a lot too." Patton let go of Chase before crawling into the pillow fort, battery powered fairy lights lining the inside with blankets on the floor to make it more comfy. "I think we made a good fort."

"I think so too baby." Chase nodded with a smile as he grabbed some stuffed animals off of Patton's bed and crawled in after him, surrounding Patton with the stuffed animals before cuddling Patton. "You're so beautiful, look at you. So adorable." Chase murmured, kissing his neck lightly.

"Oh stop it you." Patton giggled and lightly hit Chase's chest, kissing his cheek. "I think you're really cute too."

Chase closed his eyes with a content hum as he held Patton close, wrapping his legs around Patton. "I love you."

"I love you too...Chase, are you feeling okay? You still look pretty red." Patton smoothed Chase's hair back with a concerned frown.

Chase laughed softly and nodded. "Y-yeah I'm fine, I'll take care of it later." He rested his chin on Patton's head, watching Patton drift off before feeling himself drift off as well.
