Summary
“I’m serious, if you move you’re gonna mess me up. This is already - you know, I’m not promising you professional level here, it’s just - you’re gonna get - a braid, or something resembling one. Hopefully.”
“I wasn’t trying to move,” Pete mumbles - but his complaint is half-hearted at best. For a moment, he lets the weight of his head rest on Patrick’s hand, and then he shifts back to a more correct posture, and lowers his shoulders. “Anyways - back to how you were totally in love with me in high school-”
It tumbles out like a joke, like Pete’s not being serious at all so it shouldn’t matter - Pete wouldn’t laugh if he knew, so - Patrick’s long-held suspicions were right, and Pete, in fact, does not know.
Pete asks Patrick to braid his hair before a show, and the chat that happens while Patrick's playing with Pete's hair brings about some long overdue confessions.

Summary
“Yeah, sorry, just-” Pete huffs out a breath and leans in closer. “Planning my approach. There’s tactics involved,” He’s bluffing, mostly, half-joking - but he is, suddenly, very close to Patrick. He’s bracing one hand on the cushions just by Patrick’s head, kneeling next to him on the couch, and when he leans in enough to see the smudged traces of the makeup - he’s not at the right angle to feel the warmth of Patrick’s breath, but he’s basically close enough.
Patrick’s eye closes again, and Pete leans just that last little bit closer as brings up the cloth to brush it gently over Patrick’s eyelid.
Pete helps Patrick get his makeup off after the Halloween show. Then some other stuff happens. (Mostly talking)

Summary
Instinct, and muscle memory for a memory he shouldn’t even have, tells him to lean up and press a kiss to the corner of Pete’s mouth - but finally, something kicks in enough to tell him - that’s not right. That’s not something they actually do.
Patrick starts having dreams about kissing Pete, and starts struggling with telling dreams from reality, because the dreams seem to make so much sense. But surely there's a reason they haven't been kissing all these years - right?

Summary
It’s just like, a normal day in December when Patrick asks the worst question he could possibly ask.
That’s overdramatic, probably - but Pete’s having a nice day. He’s trying to bake some Christmas cookies for his kids, he’s planning his gifts that he hasn’t already bought, he’s finally starting to feel the holiday spirit, and he’s on Facetime with Patrick while they’re both doing other things. It’s a nice, Christmas adjacent kind of day.
“Pete - whatever happened to that song you wrote?”
In 2003, Pete very stupidly tried to write Patrick a song for Christmas, and lied to him about it. 20 years later, the truth comes out.
