"That's my boy!" Joe yells, pulling Pete in for a hug. They're back for a visit, and Patrick and Pete decided to tell him about their newfound love. "If you hurt him, I'll chop your balls off," Joe says, making Pete gulp loudly and visibly.

"Don't hurt my boyfriend," Patrick says, grabbing Pete. "I just got him," He's telling the truth. They only started dating a little over a month ago.

"Who tops?" Andy asks, coming back into the room. He had previously gone to the bathroom. Pete blushes profusely, while Patrick smirks. "Pete, I can't believe you let the little teddy bear top," Andy crosses his arms jokingly and laughs at them.

"Teddy bear? He's a fucking maniac in bed," Pete confesses. Joe just shakes his head and crosses his arms.

"Don't talk about my little cousin like that," He demands. Patrick mimics Joe's positions before moving closer to Joe.

"Yeah," He says sternly. Joe smiles at Patrick before punching Pete's arm.

"I knew you were a bottom. I knew it, you dirty little man," Joe pulls Pete in for a hug, Pete's arms staying at his sides.

"I fucking hate you," He says, huffing at Joe. Andy and Patrick are huddled together, laughing really hard. "Traitors!" He accuses, pointing at the two of them.

"You love me," Patrick says, dragging out the o. He pulls Pete in for a hug and then kisses Pete.

"Gross," Joe says immediately, hiding his and Andy's eyes. Andy shakes his head.

"I don't know if we're looking at the same thing or not, but they're both fucking hot," Andy says honestly. Patrick smiles at him.

"Hey, stop it! You can't have my boyfriend," Pete says defensively, pulling Patrick in for a hug. Andy laughs.

"I know he liked me. He told me so," Andy says, laughing again. Joe's eyebrows raise, his arms crossing.

"I did not know this," He says. The other three share a look before busting out laughing.

"Now you do," Pete says. "Now look who's laughing," He nudges Joe.

"I'm glad you find this funny. I do not," Joe says before stomping up the stairs to his old room. Patrick sighs before going up to follow him. Patrick knocks on the door even though it's his room now. "I don't know why you're knocking. It's your room," Joe says, playing with the bedspread.

"Come on, man. Don't be like that," Patrick sits down beside him, kicking off his black Doc-Martens.

"Don't be like what, Patrick? I've held all of this anger in for so long that I can't even see straight," Joe admits.

"Why? Why are you holding it in? Tell me what's bothering you. What's setting you off," Patrick says, trying to catch Joe's eye.

Joe sighs before saying, "It's you, Patrick," Patrick's eyes widen.

"What?" He finally says. It's barely above a whisper. What did he do to piss Joe off so bad?

"Your life. It's fucking perfect," Joe says. "I'm jealous, okay?"

"Joe, I'm far from perfect, man," He says, looking around the room. "Look at me. I'm nowhere near perfect,"

Joe huffs in annoyance. "Of fucking course! Just look at you! You're fucking hot, Patrick. I'm just a guy with a bunch of hair. I'm going to lose Andy to someone better than me,"

"Joe, don't be like that on yourself. Andy loves you. I love you. Pete loves you," He pats Joe's back. Joe just scoots away. "Look at it this way," Patrick says. Joe looks at him finally. "Who wants the orphan? You know how scared I was that I was going to some unknown country when my parents left me? No one wanted me, Joe. Not until I begged your mom and dad to take me in to keep me from living in a literal hell," Joe wipes his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Patrick. I love you, too," And then they're hugging. As they pull away, Andy and Pete come in.

"You really think I'm going to find someone better than you?" Andy asks. Joe nods. Andy pulls Joe into his arms. "Joe, you are gorgeous in more ways than one. I'm not going to leave you,"

"I love you, Andy," He sobs into Andy's chest. Andy mouths a, 'Thank you' to Patrick before Patrick and Pete leave the room.

"That was intense," Patrick says once they get downstairs. He wipes his eyes.

"Look at you. Come here, baby," He grabs Patrick's wrist and pulls him into a huge hug. "I love you,"

"I know," Patrick says before he, too, breaks down into sobs.

FIFTEEN YEARS LATER

"My name is Patrick Stump, we are Fall Out Boy, and this is 'Dance, Dance,'" Patrick says before they launch right into the song.

"I'm Joe Trohman, and I would like to make an announcement, along with my good friend, Pete Wentz," Joe says into his own microphone. Joe, Andy, and Pete share a look before Joe grabs a stool and makes Patrick sit on it.

"What's going on?" Patrick asks, taking out his earphones. Joe just smiles at him.

"The man with the voice, Patrick Stump, is my wonderfully amazing cousin. He's always been there for me, even when I was a huge brat. Believe me, I was terrible," That got a laugh and a few yells from the large crowd.

"He's not lying, guys," Andy says, joining Joe and Pete. Joe kisses Andy, making the fans go wild before Andy says, "Now I think it's Pete's turn,"

"Wow, I didn't know I'd be this nervous," Pete says. Patrick is literally so fucking confused right now. "I guess I should just get right to it. Patrick has been my boyfriend for well over fifteen years. I've been in love with him for sixteen," Pete explains. "I think this is way overdue. Patrick Stump, will you do me the honours and become Patrick Wentz?" Pete kneels down on one knee, making Patrick gasp.

"Yes, yes!" Patrick yells, jumping into Pete's arms. Pete quickly slips the ring on Patrick's finger before his hands go under Patrick's thighs and they twist in circles.

Life is amazing for the four best friends as they continue to live out their dreams as musicians in one of the biggest bands in the world.
