so patrick is really insistent that he's straight but it's all going to boil down to him being 'straight' because of his homophobic father

"You should join the hockey team. Or maybe the baseball team," Joe suggests to Patrick one day. Patrick scoffs.

"Why do you think I play those two sports out of everything?" Patrick asks. Joe smirks at him.

"Those are the two straightest sports at the school," Joe says. Patrick rolls his eyes.

"Actually, yes, I used to play both. I was the captain of the hockey team back in Chicago," Patrick explains.

"Called it," Joe says. "But, seriously, our hockey team sucks ass, literally. You should join,"

"Maybe I will," Patrick says.

So that's where we are now. It's Patrick's first game as the goalie, and after, there's a huge party. He really hopes they win.

Anna's wearing his jersey, cause she's the closest thing he has to a girlfriend at the moment. He's got his hands in her back pockets as she's pushing him against a wall.

"Break it up, whores," Pete says as he zooms by on his skateboard. Patrick flips him off, continuing to kiss Anna.

"Seriously, babe, we're gonna be late to class," Anna says, pushing her head in the crook of his neck. He pouts when she pulls away.

She kisses his nose and then runs off, sporting his green 00 with 'Stump' written on the back. He has the white one on, which they'll be wearing tonight since it's a home game.

He puts his own skateboard down and races after Pete. He finds him in their fourth period class, sitting beside a blonde guy that Patrick thinks is probably his boyfriend.

When the guy leans in and kisses Pete's lips, Patrick's theories are confirmed. Pete's smiling at him like he's the best thing in the world. He combs his fingers through the boy's hair.

Patrick turns away. They're cute together, he'll admit. He's happy for Pete.

The game, four hours after school, is a blow out. Rockfort beats the shit out of whoever the hell they're playing, Patrick having saved the game many times.

Anna jumps in his arms and kisses him when he comes out of the locker room after his shower. His golden hair is wet, dripping some water onto his Fall Out Boy tee shirt. (He's pretty sure the whole band is gay as fuck, but their music is catchy.)

Anna stays suctioned to him the whole after party, his hands in her back pockets, hers around his neck. She lets him fuck her for the first time in an empty dorm room the party's in.

He thinks it's Weekes from the hockey team and the infamous Hurley, who he has yet to meet. Anna officially becomes his girlfriend when they're lying in bed afterwards.

He asks her and kisses her hand when she says yes. They fall asleep in the bed.

The next morning, the guy whose bed they fucked in and his roommate come in. Anna left earlier because it's the weekend, and her parents are coming to see her.

"Dal, who the fuck's in my bed?" Patrick hears a high pitched voice ask.

"I think it's Stump. His girlfriend left earlier," Weekes answers. Andy groans and then shakes Patrick's shoulder.

"Hey, asshole, get out of my bed," He says. Patrick blinks slowly and comes face to face with a cute ginger who has tattoos. (Cute?)

"Holy shit, dude, I'm sorry," Patrick says. He's glad he still has his skinnies on as he stands up and stretches.

"Andy," The tattooed guy says, staring at Patrick. Patrick holds out his hand.

"Patrick," The guy doesn't take it.

"I know who you are," Andy says bitterly. "You room across from my boyfriend,"

Buttons finally click Patrick's head as he smiles at Andy. "You're Hurley, aren't you?" Patrick asks.

Andy nods, raising his eyebrows like Patrick's a creep. "Yeah.." Andy trails off.

"Oh! No, Joe talks about you a lot. But he calls you Hurley. What a way to meet your best bud's boyfriend, am I right?" He laughs weakly. Andy glares at him. "I'm just gonna.." And then he rushes out of the door.

Andy shakes his head at him as he goes, smiling as Patrick rushes back and opens the door to mumble a 'sorry'.

"He's cute," Andy observes. Dallon nods.

"Sure is. He thinks he's straight, though,"

"What a shame," Andy says as he begins to take the sheets off of his bed.

--

Patrick doesn't mention the incident to Joe. So one would say that Joe's a little more than surprised when his boyfriend sits next to him, plants a kiss on his lips, and then doesn't say anything when Joe introduces Patrick to him.

"We've, uh, met before," Patrick says quietly, eating a fry.

"That we have. By the way, you left this in my room," Andy says, throwing the Fall Out Boy shirt at Patrick. Patrick turns bright red.

"Wait, what?" Joe asks, crossing his arms. Andy smiles at his boyfriend.

"He fucked his girlfriend in my bed," Andy explains. Wentz laughs from next to Patrick, which makes the latter drop his head and cover his face.

"You dirty little man!" Wentz accuses, laughing wildly. The blonde guy, who Patrick has come to know as Mikey, is smiling at him.

"Shut up, Wentz," Patrick mutters. Pete just laughs, and Patrick kind of wants to kill him.

"So you're straight, huh?" Andy asks, smiling at Patrick.

"He thinks he's straight," Wentz corrects.

"I hate all of you with a burning passion," Patrick says. He gets up and takes his tray, dumping it, before making his way back to his dorm.

He doesn't feel well right now.
