"Sgt. Y/N L/N reporting for duty!" You said as you stood up in front of your boss, he called you for a sudden operation.

"Good to see you. I have to pull you off for a operation on the field," you nod at his command, following his tracks as he halted a car, Subaru Forester to be exact.

"You need to stop a bomb threat in a concert. There are over 250 people on the concert, with the performers and stuffs. We've been plotting this bandits ever since the tour started and you, as my best worker could ever have, you need to go with me." Patrick ordered, throwing you the civilian clothes.

"Sir Yes Sir." You retorted as you immediately changed yourself in the bathroom, seeing it was a band tee.

All Time Low was printed on the shirt. Oh. It was your favorite band and how does Patrick knew about your favorite band?

And worst thing, he assigned you to cite the bomb, plot it and diffuse it. You never know. But really, it was your pleasure to go with your boss.

Patrick was your crush ever since he was still a cadet. Both of you go in the same military academy and graduated there. But only, Patrick got the higher level than you. And then he became your Boss.

He often gets in to the do or die situation which made you always worried sick. He became your best friend when you were still a cadet.

Patrick knocked you up on the door, waiting for you to go out from the bathroom door. As you opened the door, angry Patrick looks at you.

"What took you so long? The concert could've started any minute soon and we need to get there earlier to interview the performers!" He yelled, you looked at him wide eyed.

"Interview the performers? Like interview Jack and Alex and all of the All Time Low band? Oh my gosh! Tell me what I look like?! Do I have something on my face? Am I enough for Jack?" You excitedly ask him as you stepped in the car, Patrick gave you a glare.

"Remember. This is a mission this should be your motto to be successful in this track. Duty to diffuse, not to refuse." Patrick warned as he put on his glasses and he had his All Time Low shirt under his flannel.

"But can't I have just a little time to tal-"

"Shut up and concentrate. I need to keep my focus." Patrick said as he pulled out his phone, making you look away.

You're selling me out to the girl I can't afford to lose.

The whole dressing room blasts out a very loud all time low song and they are still inside it. It was your favorite song. Also, A Love Like War.

Hearts on fire tonight,
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war
War
Feels like war
War
Feels like war

"We go together or we don't go down at all."
Patrick crept you out when he was standing next to you, his breath was tickling your neck, making you blush.

"Focus." He mumbled to you as he pushed the door open, you closed your eyes and heave a sigh.

When you opened your eyes, you saw Patrick, he was staring at the wall while Alex and Jack welcomed you.

They hugged you and said good luck, you nods and thanks the two.

You also saw your three dropped out friends, Andy, Pete and Joe. Smirk never left their faces specially Pete.

"What's going on? I tho--"

"You got the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you. So only say my name..." Patrick said as he walked next to you, his face was next to you as he gave you the flowers.

"Patrick I th--"

"You remembered my motto?" Patrick asked.

"Yes. Duty to diffuse, not to refuse." You smiled, your cheeks were painting in the bright shade of red.

"You did it. Well, you just diffused the bomb inside my heart that I've been keeping for almost years. I wanted to start new Y/N. So, I think, it was time for me to confess. I really really like you. No. I think I'm madly in love with you." Patrick confided, you blushed hard.

"But, the other part of the motto, it depends on you. If you want to refuse, it's fine. I just really need to let this out." Patrick frowned, you frowned too.

"Patrick I'm afraid to tell you that..."

"That?"

"I already fell in love with Jack Barakat." You grinned and moved close to frowning Patrick Stumph and he tilted his face down.

You put your arms around his shoulder and whispered in his ears

"Duty to diffuse, not to refuse." You said as you kissed him, his eyes glued shut to you. You smiled and intertwined your hands with him, he kissed you in your cheeks and smiled victoriously.

(Corny! Yes I know. Hahaha. But I really wanted to get this out of my chest
