"He doesn't talk, but he's good with words anyway." Moving schools wasn't what Patrick wished for at all. He had selective mutism and people got tired of reading what he actually had to say fast. A story about social anxiety, first love and life in general.

Pete's eyes scan over the article, from the image of the man himself, holding a guitar on stage, Pete's assuming he's a musician, seems his name is Patrick Stump, and he's twenty years old, young, Pete muses, before shaking his head. He's not even sure why he cares, it's not like he's ever gonna meet the guy...right?

What will happen when Patrick falls madly in love with a man he just meets, but doesn't tell him that he's married? (Book One)

Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump have been friends since as long as they can remember. Ever since first grade Pete's been simultaneously bugging Patrick and looking after him. Now they're older though not much has changed, but recently it seems Patrick doesn't need looking after anymore.

One night after a show in November of 2008, Pete approaches Patrick on the bus after everyone else has gone to bed for a one night thing. Afterwards, Patrick isn't sure he wants it to end then, Pete wants to forget about the whole thing, and problems continue to arise. *Trigger warning* Sexual situations (although no smut, but something pretty close to it), swearing, alcohol, talk of a mental disorder. Hints of drugs. No self harm. This is also posted on AO3 right here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3542366/chapters/7797329
