Chapter 04 What? Come on, don't look at me like that. It's romantic

Quanktumspirit: "Ok the next 5 chapters are going to be Heinz X OC (Patrick Allan), because I couldn't come up with anything for Perry the Platypus, apart from the 2 last chapters in this 5-chapter story with the OC. Please review."

Heinz leads Patrick Allan after the spar day to his home. Patrick had all his things packed and entered with him the purple building.

Both men walked up the flight of stairs and reached Heinz's door. Heinz opened it and showed his lodger to his room.

Patrick thanked him and unpacked his suitcase. He set the guest bed up and then pulled from his suitcase a mobile, he dialed his 'partners' mobile number.

Heinz was currently downstairs explaining to Norm; who was staying over for a while.

The phone was picked up at the other end, Patrick smiled as he pulled a photo, showing the teal Australian holding hands on his wedding day with his husband.

"Hello, Benji? - I'm fine, reached America with no problem. - Of course, I have been thinking about you, love. - No, I cancelled my stay at the Danville Spa, without you, it's no fun. - I promise you I have not cheated on you. - I'm currently now with an elderly man. - He invited me over, so I'm renting a free guest room at half the price of the resort. - Of course, and I still got the engagement ring on and the wedding ring. - Ok, sleep well, love. - Love you too. - Bye," Patrick said and got off the phone.

He smiled and hugged it to his chest.

With Heinz and Norm.

Heinz was currently in the living room, watching a film about two gay men exploring their sexuality with each other. He tried to picture him and Perry the Platypus trying that out... But he would find it a bit strange.

Norm was standing next to him, confused after Heinz came back from the LOVEMUFFIN Spa day with an 'obvious gay man'; Norm thought that Heinz had replaced Perry with this Australian stranger.

"Sir, who is Patrick Allan actually? It seems strange that he would just come with you. Unless you have an affair with him," Norm asked.

Heinz gave Norm a small glare, "No, I do not. He just needed a place to stay, and I offered my place."

Norm blinked, "Ok. I won't further question it."

Patrick Allan just walked out of the guest room and walked up to the living room.

He knocked on the door, "Heinz, may I enter?"

"Come in Patrick." Heinz's voice called out.

Patrick nodded and entered the room, he blinked as he saw Norm standing in one corner of the room.

"Hi, who is your friend?" Patrick asked.

Norm blinked and stretched his hand out, "Norm the Giant Robot Man Doofenshmirtz sir."

Patrick shook his hand as well, "Pleasure to know you. As Heinz said, I'm Patrick Allan."

"Ok. But dad, it's almost 10 AM," Norm explained.

Patrick blinked as Heinz just shook his head, "Norm, I've come back earlier from the holiday, so Perry; he should still be on his own holiday as well. For about 3 more days."

"I'm sorry, who is Perry the Platypus?" Patrick asked.

"Oh, sir, Perry is Heinz's Platypus boyfriend." Norm explained, grinning happily.

Heinz's entire face turned bright red, "No, he is not."

Patrick raised his hands in the air, "Ok, ok. I understand, he is someone you like a lot."

"Hu? How did you work that out?" Heinz asked and looked at his 'house guest'.

Patrick pointed to a photo of a platypus on the wall of Heinz's home. Heinz rolled his eyes.

"Oh, that. No, it is just a nice photo of him," Heinz defended.

Patrick rolled his eyes, "Sure it is."

Norm walked a little bit around the room, then he had an idea. "Um, Patrick, could I talk to you next door. I want to set something up for my father."

"Sure," Patrick said, and followed the robot.

"I DON'T WANT ANYTHING SETTING UP!" Heinz screamed, mad.

Patrick and Norm ignored him.

Next door, Patrick sat down in a chair and faced the ten-ton heavy robot man.

Norm walked up to his own computer and typed something in. He showed a lovely decorated dining room.

With red candles, roses, two plates and a pot with some food.

"I can cook the dinner, I just need you to decorate the dining room. Perry is going to be getting here at about 6 PM because Heinz's next scheme has something to do with the evening tonight. So I want them both to share a romantic dinner together," Norm explained.

Patrick grinned, "Aw, that is sweet; and sure."

Norm and Patrick shook hands and set their plan into action.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz was at the moment working on a ray, on his balcony. Norm and Patrick watched him as he was bent first over his blueprints, then taking a few cables and working on the ray before facing the blueprints again.

Norm nodded to Patrick, this was his cue.

Patrick walked up to Heinz and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Say, Heinz. Could I have the dining room for this evening, please? I would like to make for us some dinner if that's ok with you."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Heinz said, not looking up from his machine.

"Thanks Heinz," Patrick said and left the office.

Norm nodded to him and continued helping Heinz build on the ray.

With Patrick

Patrick disappeared into the kitchen and started his magic, learning from Norm that Perry was a Platypus, he made a dish that Perry and Heinz could eat together. Which was basically vegetable soup and a vegetable, prawn and pasta dish.

As the meal was cooking Patrick smiled, he held his heart and thought back to all the wonderful evening he and his lover, Benji have shared together. How they would eat the dish, feed the forks or spoons to each other and knock each other's red wine glasses together.

'Lovely. And if it could work just as well between Perry and Heinz, then I am sure by the end of the week they both will be in bed together,' Patrick thought, grinning.

Patrick kept his eyes on the meal, after a while Norm came back into the room.

"Is everything set? Perry should be here in a bit," Norm said.

"Almost Norm," Patrick said.

Suddenly they heard a crash next door in the living room.

"Ah, Perry the Platypus, what an unsuspecting surprise. And by unsuspecting I mean I've been expecting you," Heinz Doofenshmirtz's voice rang through.

Patrick rolled his eyes, "Is he always this obvious?"

"Yes, but we have to cut in any way," Norm said.

Norm and Patrick walked into the living room and watched as Perry smashed Heinz's inator up and the two were in a hand-to-hand battle with each other.

Patrick stayed back and made sure the table still looked perfect for the two, 'men's dinner', whiles Norm kept on watching the two.

Just as Perry finished clobbering Heinz over the head and was about to leave out of the window, that was Norm's cue.

"Perry the Platypus, wait, please," Norm said and walked into the room.

Heinz blinked, Perry stopped his jump, folded his kite back up and faced Norm confused.

Norm blinked a bit, "Um... Heinz has prepared for you and him a dinner together in his dining room. Would you care to join him?"

Perry's look was screaming, 'What the hell are you talking about?'

Even Heinz was confused, "Norm, I have not made a dinner. And leave Perry alone."

"Please, dad. You always eat on your own and I know you two like each other," Norm explained.

Perry blinked and faced Heinz confused, it would be their first meal together... But did he really feel like him the same way?

Suddenly, Patrick walked through with oven gloves on as he had the table set.

"Everything is ready. Hi, you must be Perry. I'm-" Patrick was about to introduce himself.

Suddenly for Perry, his world collapsed, he shot Norm a death glare and raced as fast as his feet could carry him back out of Heinz's home.

Heinz himself gave Norm and Patrick a death glare.

"Patrick, I invited you into my home with the condition that you don't disturb me during my work, and what do you do on the first day of your stay? You ruined my working day," Heinz snapped.

"B... But sir me and Norm just thought-" Patrick was about to explain, hurt.

But Heinz just shook his head, "Eat your own dinners. I'm going to bed."

Heinz left to his room and quietly cried into the pillow. Norm and Patrick faced each other and did as Heinz asked, they finished the meal and washed up before heading to bed.

Patrick was sure Heinz won't forgive him for what he has done today.
