ᵎᵎ... who takes his kids on long drives as an attempt to properly bond. there's no place better to talk than a moving vehicle you can't necessarily escape from

ᵎᵎ... who is the king of diner breakfast, pizza dinners, and letting the kids (every once in a while) have a sip of whatever he's drinking. the local diners and pizza places all know you and him by name

ᵎᵎ... who takes quick showers and long baths because you used to complain about him using up all the hot water, and he always used to sit with you when you took a bath

ᵎᵎ... who still greets you with "baby" no matter how long it's been. says you'd have to do a lot more than divorce him to lose the pet names

ᵎᵎ... who often has someone new on his arm whenever you see him, but it's never serious. not with the way that he looks at you

ᵎᵎ... who gained a couple of pounds and doesn't work out as often, properly assuming his 'dad bod' and shaves even less. you'd be lying if you said you didn't like it, and every time you might've insulted his appearance, he'd just smile and compliment you in return

ᵎᵎ... who asks you for a few bucks at every exchange for God knows what

ᵎᵎ... who's favorite thing to say is, "mommy and daddy need to have a little talk, okay?" knelt down, ignoring the ache in his knees as you scoff and roll your eyes in his direction

ᵎᵎ... who despite all his flaws tries to show up for his kids because he always seemed to struggle showing up for you

ᵎᵎ... who has "his days," which are filled with messy hookups, too much alcohol, a lot of cigarette smoke and a not enough substance. his age could never put a stop to his favorite activities

ᵎᵎ... who's always the first person you call when you need a helping hand. annoying, sure, but he's handy and strong and you always loved watching him work

ᵎᵎ... who sometimes wishes you had slapped him harder that day because any contact is good contact

ᵎᵎ... who's got a big ol mutt to keep him company. his name is rodger and he's so fucking lazy

ᵎᵎ... who grins whenever he sees you sign your last name as Zweig because to him, that's enough

ᵎᵎ... who listens to you yell at him over the phone with a hand down his pants and the out of breath response of "I know, I'm sorry baby."

ᵎᵎ... who very proudly kisses his kids' heads when he drops them off at school. doing whatever he could to perfect their routine so they wouldn't call you crying

ᵎᵎ... who still slaps your ass when he passes you in the kitchen only for you to grumble out an irritated complaint. you're seeing someone. he's got to stop doing that.

ᵎᵎ... who held his baby girl tight after she joined him on the couch for an all too gorey horror movie. she cried herself to sleep and he stayed with her the rest of the night. begged her not to tell you at the switch that weekend

ᵎᵎ... who is very noticeably going gray. says he couldn't wait to be a dilf but now wishes it didn't come so soon

ᵎᵎ... who lets the kids have donuts and soda for breakfast and ice cream for dinner because someone has to be the fun parent and it's obviously going to be him

the concept of patrick creating an onlyfans bc he’s broke and it’s “easy money” …

[hysteuria]

thinking about how badly patrick probably took the fact that him and art aren’t friends anymore :(

a couple days after tashi’s injury patrick had texted art to see how he was and to somehow get him to get tashi to text him back. no new notifications had came in from art which was unusual, art was such a prompt texter. so when patrick doesn’t get a response he basically begs for a response.

“art”

“answer”

“come on don’t be a dick”

more desperate texts were sent and still no answer. the reality of tje situation was finally sinking in for him. he realized what he did to tashi was terrible but the one person he could actually call his friend leaving him over it? he wanted his person back. since art wasn’t answering, the next best option was to call the closest person to him other than him and tashi. out of desperation he has called art’s grandma. god he felt like a child. it brought back the feeling of calling someone’s parent to see if they could hang out. except he was a grown man and it was ridiculous at this point. once he dialed her number in, it only rang a couple seconds before a sweet elderly voice came over the phone.

“hello?”

“mrs. donaldson?”

“oh patrick! i haven’t heard from you in years! how’ve you been?”

“im- im alright… hey, i don’t want to hold you up. i was just calling to see if you knew how art was doing.”

“oh i havent talked to him in awhile, but im sure he’s fine- do you need his number?”

“no- no that’s fine. just next time you see him, tell him to message me back sometime..”

“okay will do, patrick. nice hearing from you.”

“yeah, you too.”

the phone clicks as he hangs up. god he was pathetic. it finally dawned upon him on how embarrassing this situation was. he should be able to get over art. if he doesn’t want to be friends anymore, he should accept it. but unfortunately patrick doesn’t live in a perfect world and he yearns for his best friend art more than anyone in the world.

patrick finally got a break from tour and headed to his apartment for the weekend. he plopped himself on the bed he hasn’t seen in weeks. he grabbed his phone from his pocket, his eyes searching for a notification from art. nothing. so calling his grandma didn’t work.

he sighed as he sat up. he looked at the palms of his hands and sat there in silence. the sickening feeling he had been bottling up was approaching. the feeling that felt like everything was going to come out. the feeling where he can’t control his sobs anymore. the feeling where the only person he had left moved on from him.

he couldn’t think of how many times in public he had saw something and thought art would find that funny. he constantly thought it was all going to be okay because at the end of the day he could go to art. but no, there was no art. he chose to part ways and there’s nothing he can do about it.

once it all set in for him, he could feel tears prickling his eyes. he wasn’t one to cry often, so it was a strange foreign feeling. he stood up with blurry eyes and made his way to his closet with shaky hands. he fumbled through his clothes all the way to the back of his closet. grasping at a worn blue hoodie, he pulled it off the hanger lazily. instead of putting it on he took it to bed with him. holding it close to his chest. he buried his head into the hoodie, softly sobbing. he cried and cried himself to sleep. breathing in the scent of art that still lingered on the hoodie he lent patrick.

why do i feel like art majored in economics while he was at stanford. my first thought was business, but they don’t have that at stanford, so i guess he’d settle for being an econ major? might just be the fratboy!art brainrot affecting me, though.

cause i definitely don’t see him having anything to do with liberal arts (a bit ironic) or stem.

either way, i’d gladly let fratboy!art mansplain the stock market to me, as long as he has his red cap on backwards. like, yes please, explain to me what an etf is.

[tashism]

us after i get my hands on him…..

[itsrensfairygardenn]

can we just talk about him

[tashism]

bringing this back because this still is just so intimate and perfect and soft. they were so in love i feel like i’ve been stabbed please they were just babies. literally breathing each other’s air. patrick wanted to crawl inside of art and hug his little beating heart and art wanted to wrap patrick up in his warm skin and love just let them get fucking married PLEASE

[jesuistrestriste]

[gibsongirrl]

somehow and someway i will get mike faist and hunter schafer to play siblings…

[compress1repress]

can't stop thinking about the sauna scene and patrick thinking they're being mean to eachother in a fun way but art isn't playing and he's so cold with it because he's so wrapped up in thinking that patrick is mocking him and trying to make him feel inferior that he can't see that patrick would literally drop the act in a second if art wanted. he wants to just tell art that he misses him. and genuinely if art told him to get on his knees right then and there he would. but art doesn't KNOW.

[artsno1fan]
