Best Man

Schitt's Creek, Patrick/David, 670 words

Summary: David interrupts Patrick and Stevie at the cafe to ask her to be his best man. Unfortunately, Patrick had the same goal.

tw: none

Read it on ao3!

-------

“So, what’s the occasion?” Stevie asked as she and Patrick unfolded their menus.

“Oh not a lot. Just wanted to talk about some wedding things.”

“Huh. Just you, no David?”

“Oh yeah, he’s just, uh, looking after the store for a bit this afternoon.”

Stevie glanced up as someone entered the café. “You sure about that?”

“Stevie, hi!”

“Hey,” she said as David approached the booth.

“Hi,” he greeted Patrick, placing a kiss on the side of his head. 

“Hey, what’re you doing here?”

“I was just grabbing some lunch before going back to the store. What’re you doing here?”

“Having lunch with Stevie?”

“Mm. Mind if I interrupt for a sec?”

A smile darted across Patrick’s lips. “I think you already have.”

“Great,” he said, looking at Stevie. “I just had a question.”

“If it’s about the towels, I’m sorry. We’ve been trying to get Roland to do something about the washer, but, it’s Roland, so…”

“No, it’s not about that, though now that you mention it, they have been smelling a bit off. No, I was just wondering…” David fiddled with the ring on his finger. “… if you would be my best man?”

Stevie stared at him for a moment.

“Er, best… woman?” David stammered. “Best person. For the wedding? With us? Not with us, between us, but you’d be there, and I’m just gonna…” He pressed his lips together.

“I…” Stevie glanced between him and Patrick, a smile growing on her face. “I would be hon—“

“Hold on!” Patrick interrupted, pulling away from David slightly. “I was going to ask you to be my best, er, person.” He turned to David. “You can’t just steal her!”

“You were?”

“‘Steal’? If I recall, I asked first, so technically if you asked now, you would be the one stealing.”

“Well at least I put some thought into asking!”

“You did?”

“Yeah, why do you think I asked if you wanted to grab lunch?”

Stevie shrugged. “I figured you wanted to talk about guest accommodations or something.”

“Okay but planning to do something first doesn’t count, doing it does. I was planning on proposing at some point, but you did it first, so mine doesn’t count.”

Patrick blinked. “You what?”

David gaped for a moment. “I mean… not really.”

Patrick’s stare turned into a disbelieving smile. “Yes really, that’s how you had the ring so quickly! I knew two days was way too fast.”

“Hold on,” Stevie interrupted. “So you both want me to be your best man?”

The two glanced at each other, then back at Stevie. “Apparently,” Patrick said, while David shrugged with an “I mean, yeah…”

A moment passed, before Stevie burst out laughing. “I’m sorry,” she said, catching her breath. “You guys really didn’t talk this through, did you?”

“We talked about if we knew who we were going to ask!” Patrick said, glancing at David. “We just didn’t talk about… who exactly we were going to ask.”

“Yeah, because I didn’t think you were going to try to steal my best friend and ask her to be your best man!”

“I did not steal—!”

“Okay!”

They looked at her. “I’m sorry?” David said.

“Okay, yes, I will be your best… person.”

“Whose, his or mine?” Patrick asked. “Because I offered to buy lunch, so —“

“Both! I dunno, we’ll figure it out. It’s not like you two have anyone else you could ask anyway,” she said with a smile. “Also you’re still buying me lunch.”

“I’ll have you know I had a very long list of potential people to ask. You just happened to be the first one I ran into.”

“David…��

“M’kay. There are probably some teenage hooligans robbing the store at this point, so I should probably be getting back…”

“Bye, David,” Stevie said, unsuccessfully suppressing a smile.

“Don’t forget about lunch!” Patrick said as David turned to leave.

“I actually already ate; that was just an excuse to come in here. But thank you.”

“Of course it was.” 

As David left, Stevie turned back to her menu. “So, lunch?”

wait hold on now I am genuinely curious: Why is D-Sides your favourite Gorillaz album? I never vibed with it myself so I am interested in hearing what you like about it that I'm missing out on.

so, i haven't listened to Gorillaz in a long while, nor do i tend to listen to music that actively these days, but i re-listened to the entire album, side 1 and side 2, to try and come up with a reason why i like it so much. i do want to preface and say, yeah, the album (side 1 atleast) is very "plain", there's not a whole lot going on, nor are there any guest artists on any of the songs.

but in listening to the album again, a few things kinda appear in my brain regarding the album. one is that it brings back a set of memories of taking trips to and from Ohio to live with my mother and step-father during a few breaks between high school, and how a lot of the songs in the album i remember heavily listening to while trying to sleep in the back of their car (i'm 6'2", and sleeping horizontally in the back of a moderately small car was. not great). i had the main 6 albums before Humanz installed to my kindle, since Humanz hadn't come out yet as these trips were between... 2014 and 2016. i mainly remember hearing D-Sides the most i feel on those trips, whether it be intentional, or my sleep patterns would have me looping back around to D-Sides... that or i mostly started with D-Sides at the beginning of those trips.

another thing i'm kinda thinking about after having re-listened to the album is how much side 1 kinda reminds me of Boe, in terms of the vibes; there's a lot of somber vibes i get from some songs that fits well for him (Hong Kong and Spitting Out the Demons both being notable songs that remind me of Boe himself, and also of those long trips). side 2 on the other hand, it's remixes remind me a lot of the Sims 2, specifically the console version, as i associate a lot of Sims 2 with it's console selection of music... which is mostly a more heavy focus on the electronic tracks from the PC version; a lot of the remixes feel like something i could hear playing on the radio while i'm controlling my sim around and doing tasks.

last thing, maybe, is that i never hear folks refer to D-Sides as one of their favourites, so maybe that's why i have it as mine. out of respect perhaps.

“‘Be fri?’” David drops the cheap metal half-heart back into its wrapping.

“Be what?” Stevie dangles its twin out between them. “Mine says ‘stends.’”

Patrick’s extra smug-looking. “Did you mug a pair of preteens at the baby baseball show?” David asks.

“Tee-ball game? No, Valentine’s fundraiser for Rollie J’s preschool.”

“You get yourself something too?”

“I don’t need fancy trinkets.” He opens his hoodie to reveal a loop of yarn and colored macaroni.

“My god. It’s touching your shirt.”

“Handmade by the little salesman. For the ‘best coach ever.��”

“I wonder if Roland bought anything for Mr. Rose,” Stevie muses.
