patrick is sniffling in the cold night, wrapped up in gerard and frank with his eyes on the city before him. he can't help but smile slightly, press his arm out in front of him towards the sky and point straight at the moon. gerard's hand follows, wrapping his fingers in patrick's with their arms still pointed to the full sky.

frank is the first to part his lips in patrick's ear, "you're so pretty."

patrick blushes slightly, and grins holding frank's hand with his spare, "it's just the full moon. it's bright."

"i like it when you look bright like that, you know he's right, don't you?" gerard asks.

patrick rolls his eyes, a soft flush crossing his face, deeper than before, "can't you just enjoy the stars and the clouds? it's real pretty out. venus is right there, and she's beautiful."

frank rests his head on gerard's chest, shifting against the uncomfortable tiles of the rooftop, "she is gorgeous, isn't she?"

gerard sits up, forcing frank off from his chest as he engulfs the both of them in a tight hug. frank blushes, dark hair crossing over a pale face and patrick tries to squirm away, "let me love you!"

"let me watch the sky, can't you see how pretty it is?"

"oh darling," gerard smiles softly, staring right into the baby blues he fell in love with, "why would i watch the stars when i could watch you?"

frank kisses patrick's temple despite him immediately wiping it away.

"you're precious," frank mumbles as he leans in to capture patrick's lips.

"you're obnoxious," patrick mumbles, but he smiles into the kiss anyways.

he almost always does for frank and gerard.
