Imagine #76: Stand By Me (One-Shot)

"Time really flies so fast! It's been two months since Y/N moved over in your house, right, Patrick? So, how's it been?" You accidentally overheard Pete asking Patrick that question that made you stop moving towards them.

The boys had been on a break for almost three months now and two months ago, Patrick just said that you should move in with him. You were shocked at first, but then decided that maybe it's really time to move in with your boyfriend for almost five years, so you agreed with him. For you, it was a blast, having you and Patrick leaving under the same roof was like Cloud 9 for you. The guy is really sweet and caring and everything just went better after you moved. You were just too sure that since you're feeling this way, he should be feeling the same...you haven't really asked him about his own opinion yet.

The boys are hanging out at the recording studio since it's been a while since they've seen each other. You just followed Patrick there because he forgot he's phone and you know he's expecting a call from his parents, but all of a sudden, since you overheard their topic, you stopped. Your curiosity gained control over you and you eavesdrop there.

"To be honest?" Patrick said with a cute chuckle. "I really don't know. I mean I didn't expect it to be this way." He said. You suddenly grew nervous and guilty while standing there, can it be that maybe Patrick's not enjoying you staying with him? You heart beat raced because of worry too and suddenly, you became sad...but somehow you can still hear the smile while Patrick was speaking.

"Living with girls are sometimes really hard, but tell us about it?" Joe teased and they shared a laugh again.

"I mean...first of all, I feel like there's an unlimited supply of bobby pins and scrunchies around my house that she doesn't seem to see every time and like she always loses them EVERY where. Second, when I'm eating, she's really always saying 'nah, I don't want any food' but when I got my food ready I'll just be shocked to see my food all gone. There were also times that she's so attached to me that she barges into my recording studio or while I was watching TV and just starts a tickle war. She's also really hard to understand sometimes and if she feels like doing something, she's really going to do it, like for example baking and cooking and everything. Also, at times when we argue...she always win by default. It's really a different experience for me now that we're leaving together, it's like I'm staying with an annoying little sister or best friend." Patrick said and to be honest, he's really like a cute kid while telling the story. He's tone was not annoyed or any kind of degrading, it was just like an eager tone of a storyteller while smiling his face off. It's like somehow he's proud on telling all these things.

But, somehow, you didn't focus on that because you were too busy internalizing the content of what he said rather than its context. You immediately thought that he hates being with you and that you annoy him at some point, but really...it's not what Patrick meant.

"What you just said is too accurate and I couldn't agree more." Pete agreed and they were just laughing inside while you, on the other hand, is already at the brink of shedding a tear.

"But again, to be honest? It's all freaking worth it." Patrick said with a proud tone. "Even though bobby pins and scrunchies are all over the place, even if she eats every food I serve, or start a tickle war everywhere, I don't even care...because it's all worth it. Having a cute, childish, and cheerful girl with me under my roof always brightens up my day and really, all these are what's helping us make unforgettable memories and I wouldn't even change it for the world." Patrick murmured that definitely made your heart melt.

Indeed, you shed a tear, but now it's because you're feeling very lucky to have someone like him. You silently laughed at yourself for thinking all those negative thoughts you had moments ago, you shouldn't have doubted that guy.

You finally moved and decided to leave them be, you've heard enough to hit you right back in Cloud 9 too. You just left Patrick's phone on his things and left a cute little note there too and you just went home. You're planning on telling him that you heard him and that you're so thankful for what he was feeling for staying with you.

"Princess? I'm home!" you heard Patrick said the moment he entered the house. You were at the dining area, serving the doughnuts you just baked.

Patrick came searching for you and finally finding you in the dining room.

"Heeeey, doughnuts and tea! My favourite." He said like a kid in there. Patrick walked closer to you to give you a kiss on the head. For you, that kiss is really a lot sweet than a kiss on the lips.

"Yeah, I just decided to make them for you. Simple way of saying 'thank you'." You sincerely said and looked at him while smiling. He playfully pinched your nose as he chuckled.

"Thank you for what?" he asked.

"I...might have eavesdropped you four earlier and I heard some bits of what you said...you know, your answer to Pete's question –

"Oh! I was totally right! I somehow smelled your perfume earlier there, so you really were in there." He said with a smile, pulling you for a hug. "What you heard in there was all true, princess." He whispered gently to your ears that really makes you weak.

"At first I thought that you're not happy with me...that maybe I was too annoying for you and you regret making me move in and –

"When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me" all of a sudden, Patrick started singing 'Stand by Me' so softly that it might really knock you to sleep. This song was so special for the both of you and it can even be your 'team song'.

He suddenly interlocked your right hands together, then guiding your left to his shoulders. Patrick put his left hand on your waist and you began to dance there while he sings, staring at your eyes straight while smiling.

"So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me" he continued, leaning forehead to forehead as you dance and giggle there.

"If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me" you continued the song and Patrick was looking at you in awe. He's really mesmerized with all of you.

"I love you, Y/N, and I swear I never regret that I let you move in." he said with a genuine smile. "And will never EVER regret that I let you in my life." He added.

You cupped Patrick's cheeks and smiled at him with full sincerity.

"I love you too, Patrick...and I swear...from now on to the finish, I'll stand by you...always." You said that made him blush.

This is indeed a beautiful beginning for the lives you will share for a lifetime.

{YIIIEEE!! Freak! I love this song so much and when I found out that Patrick (and other judges from 'Sing Off' sang this...I flipped out. I love that performance with a passion you don't even know! THANKS FOR READING TOO! I hope you enjoyed! ^_^}
