Chapter 08 Roses

Quanktumspirit: "Please review. And this is the last day for Patrick Allen. But will he be able to fix the broken HeinzXPerry dam up again? Well read on and see."


Patrick could no longer see Heinz in such pain. He grabbed the goddam scientist by his arm and dragged him out of his house. He entered his car and started the engine.

Heinz looked outside confused, it was an early morning and Heinz actually wanted nothing more to do then jump off his building and kill himself.

Patrick drove with Heinz down to the Danville park. He parked his car, pulled Heinz out of the car and dragged him through the park. Heinz blinked and looked around the park confused.

"Why are we here Patrick?" Heinz asked confused as he tried to yank his hand back.

Patrick smiled at Heinz, "We are here because you have to now decide Heinz, do you like Perry as more than a frenemie and do you want to sort this out with Perry? Or go back to being enemies?"

Heinz shook his head, "I told you. I have no idea."

"But I know how to sort it out. Come." Patrick said.

They walked further through the park and Patrick reached a table. He motioned for Heinz to sit down and then he left again.

Just before he left he turned to Heinz, "Don't leave that table at all Heinz, I have to sort something out."

Heinz shivered and nodded his head, he watched as Patrick left to a flower shop across the road. From there he came back a short while later holding a bundle of roses. A yellow rose, a red rose, a white rose, a orange rose and a lavender rose.

Heinz blinked, "What? No way Patrick. I told you-you are not my type."

"Oh shut it, Heinz. I am not asking you to be my friend or marry me. I told you I don't see you that way at all. No, no, no. These roses are for something else. Chose two roses from the pack, turn them with a piece of string into a bouquet and then present them to Perry. Maybe he will accept your desires back and become your friend again." Patrick explained.

Heinz blinked, "Ok. But if this fails as well, I'm kicking you out for good."

"No need. I'm leaving this evening anyway. My stay is over. But I want to fix the problem between you and Perry. I know you care deeply about him, but I think he is just not getting the message too well out of it. I want you to be as honest and clear about your feelings to him as possible." Patrick said.

Heinz nodded his head and thought about what he knew about the colours. He knew that a red rose represented: 'I love you' and would be best given if one is truly in love with another. And Heinz knew he wasn't that deep in love with Perry. Yet.

The second rose is a yellow rose. Heinz smiled at it a bit softly, this would work out. He could show that he still wanted to be Perry's friend, more than anything he wanted them both to go back to how it was. And the yellow rose would be ideal for it.

The white rose represents a new beginning. If he represented that could it mean he wanted the friendship to re-begin again? Or could it mean he is willing to jump over the friendship and maybe begin a relationship with Perry? Heinz was a bit unsure.

The orange rose represents passion, so a deep longing to be with someone and maybe have some 'action' together. Heinz shook his head, that would be the same with the red rose, too quickly.

The last rose is the lavender coloured rose. Heinz actually had no clue what that should represent. He asked Patrick and he explained it: Love at first sight. Heinz blushed at that explanation.

"So Heinz, do you know what to do?" Patrick asked.

Heinz nodded, "I do now."

Heinz chose the yellow rose and the white rose. Using a bit of string he made a lovely bouquet. Then he wrote a card to the flowers and placed it in the bundle.

"I hope Perry get's the message more clearly," Patrick said and packed the other roses away.

Heinz nodded, "I hope so too."


Perry was lying in his basket, his own emotions were still hurting. Lucky today his owners were away, bad luck, no one was there to cure his pain.

'Please Heinz... Please, I want to be with you... so much. I love you. I love you. I love you.' Shot threw Perry's head again and again.

Perry tossed and turned left and right. But he couldn't get to sleep, all he could think about was Heinz Doofenshmirtz, his love interest.

Just as he was going to get up and get himself something to eat he blinked and looked out of the kitchen window.

He swore he just saw Patrick in his front garden. What is he doing here? Perry ran outside and noticed a path with red, orange and lavender petals.

Perry followed them away from the house, and he came to a sidewalk, well hidden and in shadows.

Suddenly he saw a torch being switched on, true the side alleyway was very dark. Perry's heart stopped as he saw the rose petals around Heinz's feet, a few were in his hair as well.

Perry had to suppress the urge to burst out with laughter, Heinz just looked ridiculous in all the colours, but sweet none the less.

He was then further shocked as Heinz went on one knee in front of his 'nemesis'. Perry blinked, Heinz pulled from his side pocket the bouquet of yellow and the white rose. He shivered as tears started to build up.

Perry carefully activated his chip again and faced Heinz, "Heinz?... what... what's wrong?"

"I... I want to apologise to you Perry... I... I never meant to hurt your feelings. And I haven't explained to you who Patrick Allen actually is. Before you cut me off again hear me out fully Perry. Patrick is just renting my spare room out. He wanted to spend a few more days in Danville but couldn't afford another day at the Danville Spar where I was with the LOVEMUFFIN'S on our day off. I agreed and took him in. I am in no way together with him." Heinz explained.

Perry turned to Patrick who nodded his head.

"He is telling you the truth Perry. I am 100% not interested in him. Plus Heinz there was something else you wanted to say?" Patrick asked.

Perry felt relieved that Patrick Allen and Heinz Doofenshmirtz really weren't together in the way he thought. But wait, if the roses were not for Patrick, then... w... his face turned bright red.

Heinz smiled a little bit more at the Platypuses flabbergast face, "Yes Perry the Platypus, you are right... the... the roses are for you... I... I hope I can be your friend again. Please forgive me for breaking your heart."

Perry felt tears build up. He jumped up on Heinz and embraced him as hard as he could. He shook in his fur and held Heinz as close as he could.

Heinz smiled back, "Thank you Perry the Platypus."

Perry nodded and stayed like that with him as hard as he could. This was better than any thank you, he could have ever got.


Patrick smiled, as his last clothes were packed up he left Heinz's building. He hopes that the next few months will work wonders for the two.

He got in his car, drove down to the airport, texted his mate Benji that he was coming home now and enjoyed the view.

After flying for over 2 hours the plane landed and he walked outside. He saw his husband with a massive bouquet of red roses and a heart-shaped balloon.

Both men ran towards each other and embraced one another. After kissing each other for 3 minutes Patrick let his husband go and he smiled at him.

"Welcome home love. Here these red roses are for you, the love of my life." Benji said.

Patrick kissed Benji again, "Thank you, love. I have much to tell you."

Benji drove himself and his husband back home. And along the way, he was reported about Perry and Heinz's growing relationship. They chuckled and hope it will remain stable. Forever.


As Perry flew back home in a lot better mood, Heinz smiled to himself as well. He cleaned up the other roses away.

But then he noticed that a cream coloured rose and a pink rose was placed together with a card.

Heinz recognised the writing as Patrick's, first off he placed both roses into a glass vase and filled it up with water. Then he sat down on his couch and read what Patrick had to say for himself.

"Dear Heinz, thank you for allowing me to stay at your place for the few days I was there. I would like to apologise to you that I strained your relationship with Perry the Platypus, but I hope that with the roses everything is sorted out now. The reason I'm giving you these two roses is that I will never forget this adventure with you and Perry. I hope you two will remain together and grow stronger over the months. Oh and Heinz, if you and Perry ever wish to 'tie the knot' please invite me and my husband as well. I would love to introduce him to you two. You both, you and Perry, deserve each other. Sincerely Patrick Allen." Heinz read out.

Heinz chuckled and turned a little bit pink, well he surely will never forget Patrick either. And with Perry... Heinz was sure they will be together for a few months. Time will tell.

He had his dinner, a wash and left then to bed himself. Dreaming of playing with Perry various games in a field full of roses, of all colours.
