Henry Bowers X Patrick Hockstetter

Touchy ×

[Third Person POV]

Patrick sat with Henry on the living room couch, a hand up his shirt, watching a horror movie with him. Henry, being exhausted from prior events and the struggle of even getting to the house in the first place, was asleep on Patrick's shoulder.

"Hen?" He whispered to him, shaking him slowly. Henry's eyes opened from the motion and he looked at him drowsily.

"What?" He asked, his voice quiet and soft.

"You wanna go out to the quarry?"

"No? Why would I wanna go to the quarry."

"Fair enough."

"Why's your hand up my shirt?"

"Because I wanna feel you? Especially this," he huffed as he slowly traced a big scar along his chest. His father had gone nearly insane in a drunken fit and had thrown him about. Henry never specified what happened and Patrick never pushed the question as he knew it was sensitive enough.

"Hm."

"Do you wanna go out though? Maybe, we can get some ice cream. I think I have a few dollars somewhere."

Henry sighed.

"Alright. We can get ice cream."

"Should we bring Belch and Vic?"

"Sure."

Patrick got up, watching Henry fall to his side with a sigh. He smiled and waited for Henry to finally pull himself off the couch and stand up. Patrick walked away to find everything they needed while Henry just walked outside and sat on the porch, shutting his eyes. He twitched from the door opening and looked over as Patrick shut it behind himself, holding his phone and a keychain.

"I called Belch and Vic they should be here in a minute."

"Alright."

Patrick watched him quietly, smiling to himself. He paused as Henry got up. He looked over at the road and hurried off the porch from seeing Belch parking near the house. Victor was in the passenger seat writing something in a book. Patrick opened the back door and looked at Henry who slowly slid into the car. He followed and shut the door, humming as they drove down town.

"There's one," Belch chirped.

"Then stop there," Patrick responded. He obliged and parked on the side of the road near an ice cream shop. Henry climbed out quietly, looking over to see Patrick pull himself out of the car from the side he left from.

"Hm."

Patrick stood up from falling right onto concrete and shut the car door.

"You okay?" Henry huffed.

"Yep."

They looked over as Belch and Victor got out the car. They all walked down to the Ice cream place.

"I'll get the ice cream," Victor offered.

"Sure."

Patrick reached into his pocket and held some money to Victor which he took and walked away. Henry led them to a circling corner booth where he laid his head on the table. Patrick sat next to him, Belch standing to be on the outside when Victor came back. Patrick patted Henry's back softly, recieving Henry sitting up and leaning on him instead. He smiled from it and held him. They looked up from Victor coming back and handing them their ice creams. Henry instantly ate his as to not let it melt at all. Patrick was a bit more slow with his own but still ate it reasonably fast. He looked at Henry who was laying back again nearly asleep. Patrick got up, letting Henry fall onto the seat like he had the couch.

"Henry, get up I wanna go outside."

Henry groaned but did as he was told and followed Patrick outside calmly. They stood by the shop, Henry hugging one of Patrick's arms and leaning against him quietly. He looked at him after a minute, just whispering to him various things. Patrick smiled and listened, looking around a bit.

"Hen?"

"What?"

"Can we head home? I know you're tired."

"Yeah, I'd like if we just went to bed for the day," he whispered while burying his face in his neck. Patrick pulled away and started walking, leading Henry to hurry to his side and grab his hand softly with both of his hands. Patrick made a motion to show he was trying to hold his hands back but physically couldn't the way Henry had grabbed them. They walked to Patrick's house where Patrick led Henry upstairs and to the bedroom. He laid down and held an arm out which Henry quickly crawled under. Patrick tucked his head into his chest carefully, recieving a few small kisses against his neck as he petted Henry. In a short amount of time, Henry had dozed off leaving Patrick to hold him close in the safety of his arms.
