Patton, That's Gay [Moxiety] (Highschool AU)

Steph x Matt is relationship goals. I'm running fever so I've been binging GT live.

STORYTIME!

Virgil and Patton needed to go to Walmart to get supplies for a school project they were working on. They were doing s community service project and after completing it, the expo for their hard work was arriving just beforehand spring break. They got the trifold board and designed duct tape, and stickers. Now they were looking in the art supplies for cardstock and glitter glue. You can't have a project from Patton without Glitter Glue.

Patton gasped when he saw the most beautiful thing ever. Patton was an art student, so when he saw glitter gel pens on clearance with 75% off. He took them off the shelf and ran down the aisle to his partner, Virgil. He tugged in the hem of his hoodie, causing him to turn around. He had some acrylic paint in his hands. Virgil looked unamused. He always did hate going to the store. It's a social anxiety magnet. That didn't matter because Patton found THE BEST DEAL EVER!!!

"VIRGIL LOOK AT HOW CUTE THESE PENS ARE!!!"

Virgil set the paint back down on the shelf silently, not making any sort of commotion unlike Patton. People must've haven't heard that across the store and then some. Patton handed Virgil the box of pens for him to examine, because Virgil was the one paying for everything. Virgil offered after all. Virgil's eyes instantly landed on the rainbows covering the box and the glittery boldness of the pens. Virgil snickered quietly, looking up at Patton.

"Pat, that's gay."

Virgil gave him back the pens, shaking his head. Patton pouted and crossed his arms, not letting this go. These pens are so cheap and he loves them! And what does Virgil mean that these pens are gay! Virgil knows full well that Patton is a mega Pansexual! Virgil rose an eyebrow, waiting for Patton to say something. He was obviously displeased. Patton popped his lips and used his outdoor voice, getting his payback.

"Virgil we've been dating for six months and you're not going to buy me these gel pens on clearance which you KNOW I will love more than anything because I love drawing just because they have rainbows on them and you called them gay? Virgil we ARE gay! You're the gayest gay I've ever met!"

Virgil stared at him, his face going entirely red. The lanky pale boy in the purple hoodie turned around, walking down and around to the aisle next door so he could pretend that he didn't know Patton. Patton huffed. That boy was going to have to not get embarrassed every time someone called him out for being gay because he was. He was the cutest gay. The best gay who has ever gayed. Patton followed him around the aisle and saw him looking at the colored pencils, trying to pretend like he didn't see Patton. Patton stood next to Virgil, not relenting on this subject.

"Are you too embarrassed about being my boyfriend to talk to me in a Walmart? Should I just hand these to you and meet you in the car?"

"No! Don't leave me alone!"

"Then when would you run away from me?"

Virgil fell silent. He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking at his feet. This aisle was empty so that should make it a little bit better on Virgil. Patton sighed and grabbed Virgil's arm, leaning his head on his bicep. Virgil looked over to see him hugging his arm, frozen. Patton let out a deep sigh, knowing that he was going overboard and making him s little uncomfortable. But he needs to step out of his comfort zones sometimes, yeah? They were only in a Walmart after all.

"Do I need to say "No Homo" when I let go of your arm or tell you I love you? I know you're anxious, but I just want you to understand you don't need to be anxious about being who you are. I just... when will you understand that?"

"Patton...."

Virgil reached over with his free hand ruffling his boyfriend's hair, smiling. He did understand that, but he can't help it when he gets anxious. His parents weren't exactly the most understanding people growing up so whenever he's in oh kid and someone mentions it he kinda freaks out. It's second nature. Patton just beamed a smile, the glitter pen box on the shelf somehow. They were standing in front of it so nobody should grab it unless they reach around the couple. And from Virgil's experience: nobody wants to get within two or three feet of a gay guy. 

"Yes Homo. I'm sorry I just... Yeah. You know how I get. I know you mean well, I just..."

Patton nodded, cutting him off silently. He knew. He was aware of Virgil's situation. He just wanted to help him overcome that anxiety a little bit since it's just a meaningless trip to Walmart. He decided instantly when he saw the pens he wanted them really really bad, so he could use a fine reference to get the scenario to play out. They both knew that Virgil got the vine reference. That's why he responded the way he did. That's what Patton was planning on. He knew the rules. He played the game. This was all his plan.

"I get it. And you do realize I want the pens because they're gay, right?"

"Oh I know, Patton. We've been dating for six months, I think I know how you work by now."

Patton laughed  letting go of Virgil's arms and claiming his glittery prize: clearance art supplies! Virgil rolled his eyes and they both got what they needed and left, going back to the car and screaming their lungs out to Lady Gaga with the windows down. They took Virgil's car because Patton's was hard for Virgil to drive and Patton was just Mega Lazy today. That's fine. But you wanna know what else they did? Quoted vines on the way home. Including the one that they loved through.

"lOoK aT hOw CuTe ThEsE pEnS aRe!!!"

Virgil used his worst voice ever, sounding like an entitled Karen. Patton laughed and tried to mimick Virgil's snobby voice which sounded a lot like squidward.

"ZaCh ThAt'S gAy!!!"

Virgil threw his heads back and laughed. It's okay because they were at a red light when it happened. It's great that they could have that heartfelt moment and just joke about it and be idiots five minutes later. That's love.

Memes. Also writer's block sucks. Ugh. Maybe it's because of my fever? Idk.

Relax. Don't take everything so seriously. Take a step back and maybe learn to laugh st yourself instead of cringing so hard. It makes life easier and makes your self esteem not so bad.

Internet hugs and blow kisses!
