Negotiation of Terms by grapehyasynth (rated G) David told Patrick early in their relationship that he hates pet names. A visit to Patrick's hometown early in their marriage makes Patrick think otherwise

not on the test by fishyspots (rated G) “What does Alexis need?” Patrick asks around midterms. “A life,” David answers without looking up from where he’s turning the lotions so that the spouts are at the same forty-five-degree angle. Patrick presses his lips together. He should have known David wasn’t going to make this easy for him. “For school.” Or, Patrick puts together some things for Alexis when she's stressed about tests.

All the other boys try to chase me by DesignatedGrape (rated T) Lawnmower guy is taking a break and stretching his arms out, reaching one hand behind his head, showing off his pecs and revealing just a little bit of toned stomach where his shirt rides up. Yum. She glances over at her brother. Just because David doesn’t want to have any fun, doesn’t mean she can’t. Inspired by the music video for the timeless classic, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

like a song that goes around in my head by dinnfameron (rated T) Patrick notices that there're a lot of songs about roses. And that David hates having them sung at him when he least expects it. So Patrick makes sure to never, ever do that. aka Patrick's Level of Trolling is Directly Proportional to How Much He Adores David Rose

Love is a Place by rockinhamburger (rated T) As they’re finishing up, Patrick gets out his wallet - to pay, David hopes; he forgot his - but Patrick merely retrieves a key from one of the flaps. He places it on the table beside David’s empty plate. “That’s for you.” A fic about keys.

petrichor by withkissesfour (rated T) The pollen bleeds bright orange against his pink skin, like a birthmark, like he’s being made new, his first birthday on his thirtieth, and he has to learn every inch of himself again, and he doesn’t know where to start. God, he wants David. David would know where to start. Long showers after Patrick's surprise party.

Seen by stevierosebudds (rated T) The night of "The Olive Branch," David is finally starting to feel comfortable enough to trust Patrick fully--perhaps more than he even realizes himself.

Improv Piecing by nameless_bliss (rated T) To him, it’s like fabric. He’s not sure that makes sense, but that’s how it feels. It doesn’t come to him as one big, normal thing. It comes to him as scraps of fabric. Adelina compliments him on his report card, and that’s a scrap. Mom brushes his hair off of his forehead, and that’s a scrap. Dad buys him a tie so they’ll match at the Christmas party this year, a scrap. Alexis hides behind him when the paparazzi get too close on the street, scrap. Problem is: he doesn’t know what to do with them. Affection is tricky. And David was never taught how to sew.

let’s stay (caught up in the moment) by startswithhope (rated E) After the grant money he promised to get was delayed by an emergency bridge repair project, Patrick's done his best to help David with the store while still working at Ray’s, not giving him enough time to ascertain where David’s head might be, in terms of his feelings or interest or whatever in anything beyond the friendship they’ve built these many months. Sure, they banter, which Patrick hopes David is seeing as flirting, but David’s so quick witted with everyone that Patrick isn’t sure that what they have is special. It’s special to him, special in ways he’s still coming to grips with, but is it special to David?
