Patton sat on his living room floor, surrounded by scraps and strips of wrapping paper. He huffed out a sigh of irritation as he cut a new piece off in hopes that this attempt would finally be the one. He knew unwrapping and re-wrapping the box was a waste but it had to look perfect. Unfortunately, nothing he had done so far looked good enough.

After the seventh time, he decided to give up and put the gift inside what he'd bought as a backup, which was a galaxy printed gift bag with a silver ribbon to tie the handles together.

"Finally," Patton muttered under his breath as he flopped onto the floor. He felt drained from all the stress he'd been dealing with lately, but today was a rare day off. And he had plans to spend it with his best friend who he may or may not totally have a crush on.

He meant to lay there on the floor until he had to get up and shower, but his phone chimed. He rolled over onto his stomach and reached for his phone, grabbing it from the coffee table. It was a message from the aptly named Gay Panic group chat.

Danger Noodle: Hey Patton

Danger Noodle: Just wanted to check up on you

Fall Out Gay: Yea how r u holding up

Prince Charming: Padre, my dear, you simply must flirt with Logan tonight!!!

Pawton: I'm feeling nervous but I have Logan's present all wrapped up~ Flirt? I don't know if I can do that...

Fall Out Gay: I know its scary but u got this

Pawton: Maybe? I mean what if Logan doesn't feel the same way about me?

Danger Noodle: Oh yes, someone who is constantly trying to impress you and is always looking around for you and asking about you isn't into you at all

Fall Out Gay: Cmon D dont b so sarcastic

Danger Noodle: Sarcastic? Me? Never

Prince Charming: Okay, you two edgelords, that's enough! Padre, Logan is definitely, totally, completely head over heels for you! You're so cute; who wouldn't be?! ;)

Pawton: Dee, you jokester, you~ And okay, I can do this, maybe, hopefully~ It's already almost 4pm, I should probably go shower?

Prince Charming: Good idea! Have fun on your date ;) I'm expecting you to provide all the details when you get back!

Fall Out Gay: Only if u want 2 Pat

Danger Noodle: You've really nothing to worry about

Danger Noodle: Have fun, and my advice? Wear that baby blue mini skirt of yours

Danger Noodle: Nerd boi will love it

Pawton: Oh, um... with my fishnets or knee high socks?

Prince Charming: The fishnets!!! Ooh want me to come over and do your makeup? Just say the word and I'll be there!

Pawton: No that's okay, I think I got it~ Thank you all so much! I'm gonna go get ready now, see y'all tomorrow for movie night?

Fall Out Gay: U bet

Danger Noodle: Yes, I'll bring the pizzas this time if Roman can bring dessert

Prince Charming: Honey, I am the dessert ;)

Fall Out Gay: ...ur ridiculous bring cookies

Prince Charming: Ridiculously attractive, I think you mean! But yes, of course, cookies it is!

Patton chuckled at his friends' antics and left them to it while he went to get ready

***Later that evening***

Pawton: Is anyone on?

Prince Charming: Yes!!! How did it go did you two kiss tell me everything!!!!

Fall Out Gay: Whoa Princey chill dude

Danger Noodle: I don't think our dear royal knows the meaning of the word

Fall Out Gay: ur rite

Prince Charming: Offended Princey Noises

Pawton: :D It went way better than I thought it would! Logan loved his jellyfish plushie I got him! He even liked that it was pink, which I didn't expect either?! So I'm really glad I went with that instead of the green one~ Dee, Roman, you were both so right, he likes me too!

Danger Noodle: Told you so, darling

Fall Out Gay: Im happy 4 u Pat

Prince Charming: Did he say anything about that smokin' outfit of yours?!

Pawton: Oh, um, aaahhhh~ I think he really did like it? He was blushing when he saw me so I'm assuming he liked it? We held hands! We haven't kissed yet but we have a date planned for Sunday afternoon! We're going to the aquarium across town~

Fall Out Gay: Thats gr8 Pat u 2 r cute 2gether

Danger Noodle: Honestly it's about time you two clueless disaster gays got together

Danger Noodle: It was obvious Logan had a thing for you the moment he laid his blue eyes on you, darling

Prince Charming: You two are absolutely adorable together! I'm so happy it turned out so well, I knew it would! Oooh does this mean we can all go out on dates together? It would be fun to go bowling or to an amusement park together!

Pawton: That would be fun! I'll mention it to Logan and see what he thinks but I'm all for it if it means I get to spend time with everyone I love!

Fall Out Gay: Not 2 b a hypocrite but thats gay

Danger Noodle: Uh yeah I sure hope it is

Pawton: xD You two are hilarious!

Where did you meet your boyfriends? I've never really been in a meaningful relationship and I don't even know where to start. I'm trans and I feel totally alienated by pretty much every single dating app. I guess the first step is becoming more involved in a community I want to be a part of, and meeting people there?

Met my boyfriends/lovers as follows, in no particular order

1) introduced to him by my ex, who in turn is a friend I met thru tumblr ; was friends with him for a year ; during that time he talked abt his anxiety about gay hookup apps and men but wanting sex and i was like “hey if you ever want a friendly hookup I’m down” and he was like “hm let me think about it” and didn’t bring it up again and then six months later he was like “remember when you said that thing about hooking up well I have a crush on you” and then we made out and about two or three months later I think we talked abt the word boyfriend

2) met via tumblr when he anon messaged me and then followed up by email and then started telling me about his public health advocacy and three months later he visited me and I slept on the couch and he had my room and we talked about public health until midnight and the next night he tried on all my clothes while I did homework and the next night we watched my beautiful laundrette and I hit on him and he was really flustered but then we hooked up and then we started saying boyfriend after his second visit

3) met on scruff a year ago — I went over to his house and he smoked me out, fucked me really well , and then gave me a snack and played really good music and I was like man I wanna do this again and then three months later he was making me mushroom risotto after my 9:30 pm class and I was like fuck I love this man

4) he is the long term boyfriend of my friend who I met thru tumblr when I was fifteen; they both hit on me spontaneously at a sex party last summer and we then all hooked up all summer both separately and together and the sex with both my friend and his boyfriend was amazing and then me and his bf kept seeing each other casually and then eventually it stopped being as casual ; he is still primary partners w my friend . this is the situation that makes me feel most like I am a character in a midcentury novel

Basically a lot of random good fortune re men has come my way this year but yeah I would suggest building community where you are and also seeking connection with people even if they are far away and also experimenting with apps because you can’t get less nervous about it without trying it out tbh ! I have had good and also very bad experiences with apps and don’t currently use them but also a good app hookup can really make ur week or month imo .

If you aren’t in a cosmopolitan area it may be harder to use the apps but take a chance —if my friend nogga is to be believed w this crazy story, he was sailing in Croatia four years ago and invited the one Grindr boy in Croatia with a face pic to his boat and this beautiful boy shows up and they drink wine and nogga talks abt how homophobic Croatia seems and the guy is like yea and Nogga’s like are there any trans people and the boy is like there’s one trans woman in this town but nobody else and nogga was like “no trans men?” and the boy then was like no but it’s my dream to meet a trans man someday and nogga who had not disclosed till this point then disclosed he was ftm and then they had sex on a beach under the shadow of a 5000 year old fort
