Imagine #78: Dinner Date (One-Shot)

Looks like the tables had turned.

You just arrived in Chicago because you had a business trip in Japan for weeks and Patrick was the first one to arrive in your hometown since their tour had just ended. Patrick now was the one who's waiting for your arrival and you're too excited to finally see him again, also adding to this is that it's your third anniversary today.

'Princess, I'm really sorry! I won't be able to fetch you from the airport. I'm really sorry! T.T' you read his text that put a smile on your face.

'It's okay, angel. I told you, you don't have to either way. I'll just go straight home, okay? See you! :*' you typed and hit send then made your way home.

You know that Patrick's up to something, maybe a dinner date or whatever. He's really a guy filled with sweet surprises and secrets too. And also, you appreciate all that since you know he's still busy even if he's home now. Their band had been recording new tracks for the new album and you're just really proud of him, but you worry sometimes because the four of them over works sometimes.

You just grabbed a taxi and traveled to your house that you now share with Patrick. For sure, he's already there waiting for you. Honestly, you're really not excited for the surprise, you just wanted to be with him and see him again. For you, that's enough for the anniversary.

You checked your watch, it's already past 10 in the evening, it's really late too and you hope that Patrick didn't starve himself just to wait for you. Finally, after the long ride, you arrived at your house and excited walked towards the front porch then knocks excitedly.

The door opened, revealing Patrick inside, wearing his casual clothes. He looks so tired, but the moment he sees you, all those glum expressions just flew away. He smiled like it was going to tear his mouth and hugged you tightly.

"Y/N! I missed you so much!" he said like a kid that just saw her mom. You giggled as you hug him in the same manner.

"Awww, I miss you more, Patrick!" you said, pulling back then giving him a quick kiss on the lips making him blush. "I'm so glad we're together again!" you said.

"Me too, princess! Me too." He said. Patrick helped you with your things and then you suddenly noticed that he hesitated going inside. Patrick looked at you worriedly, but he really tried his best to hide it. "Y/N, I-I'm really sorry if this night will not be as grand as it should be..." he said sadly that puzzled you.

"Patrick, what are you talking about?" finally, both of you came inside and you saw what he was talking about...and god, Patrick's really a sweet guy.

A candlelight dinner was set in the middle of the living room, but WITH a twist. Mostly, dinner dates in houses showcase elegant table setting with fancy foods and everything...but this, it's really what you wanted. The table setting was the simplest you can get; just a placemat, 2 plates, 2 pairs of spoon and fork and glasses, but that's not really what got your attention. The food was amazing for all you know! Yeah, all of these are all take outs from fast food chains! Pizza from Domino's, McChicken Meal from Mcdonald's and a TON of FRIES too and your drinks are milkshakes. Honestly, the view made your stomach grumble so much. And also, you won't forget the final touch for this...a candle between foods.

"I-I'm ready for everything, princess. Shout at me, punch me, slap me...I don't care, I deserve it for I'm such a bad boyfriend for not making this night special for us!" Patrick suddenly came in front of you with his eyes closed, readying himself for the attacks you might give him. "I'm really really sorry, but please...just don't leav—

"You never really ceases to amaze me, Stump." You smiled with full sincerity and then leaned closer, giving him another kiss on the lips.

"Y/N, please, you don't have to lie if you don't like it." Patrick said and he's really guilty with all these. "I really tried to make a reservation for that Japanese restaurant tonight, but I was a little too late! We're so busy in the studio today that I just forgot things and came home late, now I have no idea how to set this for you and I just...I have no idea what has gotten into me for buying all these for you and I couldn't even cook for the both of us. And God, I'm so awful for making excuses for being a bad boyfriend!" he said, more likely to himself.

You just giggled cutely while looking at him there, really, this was all okay for you, in fact, this was WAY better than you expected it to be.

"You're right...this night isn't really as grand as I think it should be." You said and Patrick became even sadder when you said that. "...because it even exceeded my expectations, Patrick." You added that really shocked him.

"Princess...I'm really sor—

"Will you stop saying sorry, please?" you told him, cupping his cheeks while staring at him. "This. All this was very much a surprise for me and I swear to you, Patrick, that it didn't even disappoint me! Heck, I don't care how you arranged that table and what foods are in there...all I care about is that you exerted effort for all of this even if you're really busy with a lot of things. And have you forgotten?! ALL OF THESE ARE OUR FAVORITES, and I'm glad your reservation for that Japanese restaurant was declined. I couldn't even digest another sushi now." You joked and laughed in there and finally, making Patrick smile.

"You're really serious you don't hate me right now?" he asked cutely and all you could do is smile at him.

"Patrick, nothing can make me hate you." You told him.

Patrick jumped and hugged you lovingly which just made you giggle.

"And seriously, you know what foods I'm craving at the moment." You told him. "so, please, let's get it on and eat?" you asked excitedly and Patrick just agreed.

You both started to eat and just talk to each other, filling up information about how your works have been. You've been laughing and just feeling like you're kids again or even back in high school where nothing else matters when you're together.

"I'm really lucky you're the kind of girl that I have, Y/N." Patrick sweetly murmured that made you blush.

"And I'm so lucky that you're the guy that I'm with Patrick." You told him.

This is indeed what you always wanted.
