Set in season 3 before Patricia's a sinner and after they get back together.
"Yacker." She heard faintly. "Yacker." She heard more forcefully. She could feel herself moving unwillingly. She groaned shoving her face into her drool-caked pillow.
"What?" She snapped sitting up, almost banging heads with her boyfriend. She turned her head to the left and glanced at her bright digital clock. She narrowed her eyes. The clock read 3:47am. She smacked Eddie's forearm. "It's three-forty-five, Doofus! What could possibly be so important that you had to wake me in the middle of the night?" Patricia hissed. Eddie felt guilty and looked at the carpeted ground. "I couldn't sleep." Eddie muttered. Patricia's face softened at his words. She had her share of insomnia more than enough times in her life and she wouldn't wish it upon anyone. She sighed softly and scooted over for Eddie to climb in. He noticed her offer and happily took it. Patricia laid her head in the crook of Eddie's arm and he put his arm around her shoulder.
"So, why can't you sleep?" Patricia whispered, afraid to wake Mara. When Eddie didn't respond for the longest time, Patricia assumed he had fallen asleep. She looked up carefully and saw Eddie staring blankly at the ceiling. Patricia nudged his side, earning his attention. "Did you hear me?" Eddie sighed and nodded his head. "I had a dream and you were taken by Robert." Eddie ran a hand through his hair; something Patricia noticed he did he was stressed. Her eyes watched his face carefully. She saw worry and—just like she guessed—stress in his greenish-brown orbs. "Eddie," Patricia hugged him tightly. "You don't have to worry about me. I can take care of myself, y'know." Patricia began to think of what would happen if Robert had actually gotten to her. She couldn't even think about betraying her team. Her boyfriend. Her family. She began to think the worst until Eddie slid his arm down to her waist and tightened his grip. Patricia shoved her face into his chest.
"Y'know," Her voice was muffled by the soft cotton of his shirt. "You are way too over-protective. But," She inhaled his sent. She smiled at the smell of mint that lingered on his clothes. "It's nice to know you care." Eddie gave her a bewildered look. "Why wouldn't I?" She shrugged as best as she could. "I figured you wouldn't as much since we broke up last summer…" She trailed off, hints of sadness pinging in her voice. It was Eddie's turn to go soft. "Patricia," Uh oh, he was being serious. "I will always care about you, no matter if we're broken up, just friends, or together." He gripped her waist tighter. "I personally like being together over the other options, but…" She could hear the smirk in his voice.
The air was still until Eddie decided he would break it with a question that had been burning in his mind for weeks now. "Hey, Yacker?" Eddie asked hesitantly. He froze for a moment. Well, no going back now, he already started it. However, he could just play it off like he was just seeing if she was asleep. Eddie sighed. No, that wouldn't work, they agreed no secrets, and he wasn't going to lie and play it cool. No, he had to get it out. Now. "Hmm?" Patricia hummed tracing the Sick Puppies logo on his night shirt. He placed his hand on top of hers lightly, not wanting her to stop.
"Why did you break up with me last summer?" Patricia's hand stopped in the middle of tracing K as her breath hitched in her throat. Eddie noticed her get uncomfortable and decided to step in. "Yacker, if you don't want to, you don't have to tell me. I was just wondering." Eddie reassuringly gripped her hand. Patricia shook her head and swallowed hard. "No, I'll tell you." She sighed quietly before beginning. "I was scared, Eddie. I was scared because you were my first boyfriend, my first kiss, and…" Patricia trailed off. She should tell him right? They did swear there would be no secrets in their relationship. "And my first love." Eddie's mouth opened the slightest bit, but let her continue. "It was my first relationship and I was scared I would blow it. I knew you had been in so many before and I didn't know if I was you're worst. I got so jealous and insecure about myself because I thought you would leave me for one of those prettier Americans; so, I did what I thought was best. I broke up with you before you could hurt me. But, I hadn't realized how bad I hurt you and I'm so, so sorry, Eddie. I'm sorry." By then wet, hot tears had begun to fall down her flushed cheeks. Eddie hadn't realized until he felt wetness on his cotton band t-shirt. He wiped away her tears and hugged her tightly against his chest. "Patricia, no girl is prettier to me than you." Eddie said sincerely. "Well, except my mom, but I have to tell her that." He smiled playfully causing her laugh the slightest. "You shouldn't have to worry about that, Patricia." He grew serious again. "You are so much more than my old girlfriends. None of those girls could ever be compared to you. You're the only one I've ever loved. I love you, too, Patricia." Eddie kissed her lips softly. They both smiled thinking the very same thing.
Best insomnia night ever
I like this one. Major Peddie fluff. Please don't be afraid to comment ideas for this one-shot series. I love ideas :) On The Alone Girl, someone commented and asked why I start certain paragraphs in italics. I start them like that because I don't know how the do the line-spacer-thing. If it's confusing to you guys, let me know and I'll put something different. I'm not sure if the same people who read TAG (The Alone Girl) are reading this story so I'll say this again when I post the new chapter of TAG. Hope you guys enjoyed! Review and tell me what you think! I would enjoy it if you guys told me what you would like to happen in the one-shots :) Sorry this one is so short compared to the other one. It is around 1,000 words thought, so I think it's okay. I ran out of ideas for this one-shot so I had to kind of cut it short. Hope you enjoyed anyway though :) Okay, this long author's now is finished :) Goodnight, everyone!
